“Jamie is my go-to whenever my dog needs a visitor or walk when I can’t be there. She’s fantastic — whether my pup is feeling lazy or has the zoomies. She’s super communicative and can fill in on last minute notice. My dog loves her and don’t know what I would do without her!”
“Virginia was a such a lifesaver while I was gone! Not only did she play with and update me daily on my fur baby while I was away, but she was the perfect house guest - keeping the floors around the litter spotless and cleaning up my leftover dishes. She is now my go-to sitter. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Abby is a five-star sitter--we love her and, more importantly, so does our senior cat! She is caring, conscientious, and reliable. She took great care to determine EXACTLY how we wanted Snickers cared for, and she then took even greater care to do so. She was always on time and sent us pictures, video clips, and text updates. We could not be more pleased with Abby--it was such a relief to know our beloved boy was surviving and thriving though we were away. She is a blue-ribbon sitter--we will not hesitate to call on her again and again!!”
“Sam was excellent. A 10/10 cat-sitter. We got great photos; he cleaned the litter box even more frequently than we asked; and, he sent great photos each day. Would definitely work with him again!”
“Walker was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! He was super responsive and very detail-oriented when taking care of Freya. He sent plenty of photos and information in each visit recap and made sure to check in with us while we were away on any questions he had. We will definitely rebook with him and highly recommend!”
About: When I was 16 I was given the choice between getting a dog or a car… and chose a dog. I always have had a love for dogs, whether it’s having my own or being able to be around others. Growing up I had an English Bulldog that I adored. After I moved to DC, my roommate and I fostered a dog from the Humane Rescue Alliance and she was recently adopted! We had her for 4-5 months, and she was an absolute joy to have. She was found on the streets of DC, so I had to work with her on some things like walking on a leash and getting her basic commands down. Now that we don’t have her anymore, I would love to take care of others dogs! I work a sales job, so my weeks are pretty flexible. I have fully remote Mondays and Fridays so those are usually the best days for me to help out during the week, as well as the weekends. I live in a townhouse very close to meridian hill park and would love to take a dog on walks/to the park to play or just hangout!
“Honestly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Hazel is absolutely amazing and I couldn’t speak more highly! JoeJoe and Cleo loved her and she was so attentive to them. They definitely looked forward to her visits. She really is the absolute best!! I will be recommending her to everyone ☺️”
“Jenna was amazing, she was so flexible. I did a last minute request, literally within an hour and she was available. Sent updates and was loving on them so much. She will become my next go to person for house sitting and drop in visits.”
“Hadley is the best. She pampers my cat better than I do! This is my second time hiring Hadley, for a total of 12 visits. Each time Hadley has been 100% on point: she is on time, knowledgeable, caring, takes adorable pics of my cat, and gives concise updates. I will definitely call upon Hadley again!”
“After having Nicole and Kieran pop in for cat-sitting for over a year, I cannot recommend them more highly! They are so responsive, take excellent care of Bug, and I always look forward to reading Nicole’s write-up following her visit😊 Truly the best in the DC-area on Rover!”
“Ezgi was so wonderful! Very communicative and adaptable when I needed to change my plans at the last minute. Also very punctual and great with my senior kitty! Grateful to have her care for my Shera over the holiday.”
“Caroline did so well with our 100lb dog, Ernie! He can be a little standoffish with strangers, but he clearly felt comfortable with Caroline right away and knew she was a friend. Would highly recommend her!”
“Emily was a great cat sitter! She followed all of my instructions and kept me updated with pictures and detailed notes after each drop-in. Very reliable and kind, would highly recommend!”
“Kara was great! I will definitely be booking her again. She sent so many lovely photos and ensured that they had a full 30 minutes of interaction and play time and gave updates on their behaviors as well.”
“Davis was fantastic with Oliver! He stopped by for drop-in visits while I was away and took great care of him. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos after each visit. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Oliver was happy, well-fed, and getting plenty of attention. Davis was punctual, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. I’ll definitely be booking him again!”
“Yulia is the best cat sitter! She takes incredible care of our Olive, going the extra mile in thoughtfulness. She really knows how cats work and always sends the cutest photos and videos! Thank you so much again Yulia!”
“Olivia is awesome! Our go-to cat sitter recently moved away, so we have been on the hunt for someone new to take care of our very anxious cat. I reached out to Olivia and she made time to come over and meet our cat and get to know him and us, which we really appreciated. While we were away, Olivia sent us thorough updates and provided lots of pictures. When we got home, our cat was less anxious than usual, and I think it's because he got such awesome care from Olivia while we were away :) I HIGHLY recommend Olivia!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown
Hunter and Joey had the wonderful experience of having Jacquelyn as their drop-in sitter. I decided to try drop-in visits, after several unsuccessful attempts to find boarding options. I liked Jacqueline’s profile and she was the first person that I contacted. Fortunately, she accepted and was the perfect choice for Hunter and Joey who are rescues. Hunter likes to adjust to people on her own terms; Joey is terrified of everything and everyone. During our meet and greet, both became comfortable with Jacquelyn and it was obvious that she loves dogs, has extensive experience, and understands how to handle different temperaments and personalities. She provided photos and detailed notes of her visits and interactions with them. Jacquelyn is 5 stars+.
Phil was a reliable and committed cat sitter! He sent tons of pictures and detailed updates. I often have anxiety while traveling because I’m worried about my cat. But with Phil, I knew that she was kept company and genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Phil!!!
Lily took such great care of Ginger! I was out of the country and a little difficult to reach but she was super responsive and sent plenty of photos, updating me on Ginger’s mood and how snuggly she was being. The apartment / Ginger’s food area was also cleaner than I left it. Would definitely recommend Lily and book her again in the future!!
It's nice to know we can count on Hannah. Our kitty is comfortable with her which makes it more comforting when we need to travel. Hannah is thorough in her reports and is diligent about following up to make sure she has the most current information about feeding, playtime, and in general all-around care. ❤️
