“Layla did a great job watching Buddy while I was away. She was kind, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. I’d definitely feel good about leaving him with her again. Thanks, Layla!”

“Would absolutely recommend Daniela!! Really appreciated her looking after the boss on such short notice. She was very responsive, and judging by the pictures she shared with me, the boss was happy with her too.”

“Corinne has now been our sitter on two trips and we love her! She’s very communicative and follows instructions very well. We really appreciate her!”

“RELIABLE! Thomas took care or my two cats during 9 days. He did an exceptional job. When I came back, the house was even cleaned, as he has gone out of his way to clean a bit the mess the kitties always make. One of my kitties likes to go out for walks in the hallway and Thomas made sure to include that in his visits. He also sent me daily report cards very well written , presenting everything he has done during his visit. At no point during my trip did I feel anxious about the wellbeing of my cats. All in all he did a perfect job! And I’m very thankful.”

“Meredith took care of my two kitties while I was away for work and did an excellent job! She made sure to play and hang with them, and also helped clean up several messes of one kitty in particular. She also made sure to troubleshoot my automatic feeder and made sure to give the boys extra food just in case, would recommend!”

“Nicholas was great with Ella - we came home to a happy cat. Nicholas was also really helpful when we realized we had given him the wrong key - he followed our instructions to access our back door and use our spare key and even made an extra trip to our house because of it. We will definitely hire Nicholas again!”

Nicole W.

“Olivia was amazing with our 13 year old toothless rescue cat - she spent a lot of time with her when we were away and from the photos she shared it’s clear that our Ella loved her. She took extra good care of Ella and even went out of her way to clean up some ants near Ella’s food. We will definitely hire Olivia again!”

Nicole W.

“Jenna was so kind & professional while caring for my senior cat & my partner's very anxious dog. Feeding, walks, & medication all were completed on time & the updates were all informative & her photos were delightful! I would book Jenna again in a heartbeat.”

Lydia P.

“Callie kindly helped us out on short notice, to come keep Prissy company and let her out to use the bathroom, while I was away on a day trip. Prissy seemed comfortable around her and I came home to a happy dog!”

About: Hi my name is Henry! Admirer of all breeds! I have had a pet from a young age so you can say I've grown up with pets all my life. About me currently self employed(Rover) part time retail work from time to time but my passion is personal training and barbering. In my living space I have more than enough room to run around and play. Can't forget about those lounging spots under natural sunlight. About my Boston terrier Mojo: Mojo is eleven years old. Most friendliest over-energetic pup there is! Humans, other dogs, bunnies, birds, he's a fan of all! He would enjoy the company of your pup as I'm also preparing him for a second pup to join the family. Again, I offer walks of any time consumption. Dog boarding/Day care my home is only open to one other pet at a time since I'll be housing my own pet as well. House sitting for that low low I don't mind, necessary Drop-ins not a problem. Flexible on booking and cancellations. With a flexible work schedule and my form to commute around the city, which allows me to take multiple dog(s) walks a day when needed and keep them company for most of the day. In my living space I have more than enough room to run around and play(given play area) Balcony with fencing. Can't forget about those lounging spots under natural sunlight. Medication can be given or applied.

“I first worked with Priscilla this summer, and over Veterans Day I reached out to her again because she took amazing care of my cat the first time around! My cat isn’t easy to sit - he’s clingy and he needs both oral medication and an inhaler - but Priscilla has really been great to him, and he really liked her. I love her diligent check-ins and the cute photos she always sends of my cat, which are such a nice surprise to wake up to when I’m away from home! :) She’s super easy to coordinate with and very responsive to my needs as an owner, so I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Adrienne took great care of our cat while we were traveling for a week on vacation. We had such peace of mind being gone for so long knowing that our cat was in good hands.”

Taylor H.

“I can’t say enough nice things about Armando. He went above and beyond to make sure our cat was taken care of while we were away for 10 days. He is the only sitter we’ve had who was patient enough to get our cat to play and exercise with him; he was incredibly patient and kind with our baby; and he was EXTREMELY communicative. He took amazing pictures and gave really detailed updates. He helped us troubleshoot when our automatic feeder malfunctioned, and followed directions meticulously, especially when our cat had a few “potty” issues. He also was really patient with my many anxious questions about my cat’s health and habits. I can’t recommend him enough and will absolutely try to hire him again to take care of my cat! A+++++!!!”

Larson B.

“Walker was professional, great with my shy cat, and an excellent communicator. Event went above and beyond and brought in an unexpected delivery while I was away. Will book again!”

Matthew M.

“John is awesome - we highly recommend him! He has exceptional communication and is very responsive before/during his visits. He is great with our pup who can be challenging with new people - he’s incredibly patient and knowledgeable about caring for dogs, including our very large puppy!”

Laura Z.

“Gabi was able to help me on short notice and did a great job of taking care of my kitty! She was very communicative which allowed me to go away without stress.”

Claire S.

“Kelli was professional, communicative, and great with my dog Teddy! She did a drop in for him, communicated the entire time, and did an amazing job! I would highly recommend her for all your Rover needs!!”

About: As a pet parent myself, I know how hard it can be to leave our babies behind. My goal is to help alleviate any worry by providing quality care to your animals - with lots of playtime, pets, and cute pictures :) While new to Rover, I have ample experience caring for cats and dogs! My schedule is pretty flexible, so I am happy to coordinate a care schedule that works for you and your pet! When booking house sitting stays, please note that I will need to leave after your pet’s morning routine to service drop-in & dog walking clients and will return for their evening routine. If you want a midday check-in for your pet during overnight stays, let me know! For your first visit, I’m happy to have a quick initial “meet and greet” with your pet and walk through their care. I promise to provide consistent and clear communication throughout the process.

“I’m extremely grateful Adrianne took care of my Lola while I was out of town. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter!”

About: I have owned 3 dogs in my lifetime, including a springer spaniel, golden retriever, and shih tzu/Yorkie, so I am experienced with dogs of multiple sizes, dispositions and weights. I am experienced with feeding, walking, playing, managing other dog interactions, transporting to grooming and veterinary appointments, and training puppies. I display care and warmth when around dogs of all sizes and ages. I am skilled at providing medications, treats, or offering extra care when a dog must wear a neck cone or cast. I live a couple blocks from the National Mall and would happily play with your dog there when sitting or walking them. They are free to roam my apartment during the sitting appointment, and I can provide food, water, treats, and space to nap and play. I work remotely at my apartment 5 days out of the week, so I’m able to give ample attention to your pets and take them on frequent potty breaks and walks. I can host dogs on the weekends as well. My apartment building is located in downtown DC but is managed with a concierge and requires key-fob entry. We would stay and play inside my apartment on the 3rd floor (no balcony and locked windows), and any movement outdoors with your pet would be with a leash. Your pet would be able to move freely around my home, and if desired, perch by the window and observe birds and other furry friends and humans. In a client’s home, you can trust me to follow safety instructions you’ve provided to ensure your pet stays comfortable in its environment.
