“Thank you so much Erin for watching my cat Ponzi! Erin was super responsive, sent great photos, and followed his routine perfectly! It was very enjoyable to work with Erin and I appreciated her last-minute help and how my apartment was just as a I left it. Ponzi seemed so happy and I felt confident that he was well taken care of :)”

About: I’ve always had dogs in the house and been the neighbor people have called to take care of their little ones while on vacation. Since moving to DC I have missed my furry friends and want to start building a community here. I’m the person who goes on walks just to wave at your dogs from across the street when you pass by. I promise to take good care of your little ones because hanging out with them is just as fun for me as it is helpful for you. I currently work hybrid so I am typically pretty flexible especially if you are in the Logan Circle / Mt. Vernon / downtown area. I am also free most weekends for a drop in! I can’t watch Marley and Me without balling my eyes out so I think that says a lot about me. I always make sure to leave things better than I found them so you have no questions about letting me into your space or with your little ones.

About: Growing up, my family always had pets, and in 2020, I adopted a dog of my own! I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their pets for many years, and I’m always sure to love them and care for them to the best of my ability! I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, dogs with amputations, and everything in between. I am available every weekday! I’m very flexible and able to make any adjustments necessary with short notice. If absolutely necessary I can do weekend drop ins as well. I will always be sure to understand the layout of your home and the limits/boundaries put in place for the pet. I will play and walk with the pet as much as necessary and make sure that food, water, and treats are given when instructed. I’ll cuddle and love on the pet as much as they need and be sure to ensure their safety and comfort while you are away.

“Asha is wonderful! Such great communication and takes great care and gives so much love to my cat! Love feeling so confident that Pickles will be totally cared for every time I book Asha!”

About: Hi! I’m Danielle, and I’m excited to start my Rover journey! I’ve had two very special dogs in my life—a Lhasa Apso and a Yorkie—who were both loved and cared for all the way into their senior years. I loved taking them on walks, playing with them, spending time together, and making sure they always felt safe, happy, and loved. Since losing them, I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own, but I truly miss having a pup around. Rover feels like the perfect way for me to continue enjoying the companionship of dogs while giving your furry family member the attention and care they deserve. I especially have a soft spot for small dogs and would love to be their walking buddy, playmate, or companion while you’re away. Whether your pup needs a nice walk, some playtime, cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. As someone new to Rover, I’m looking forward to building trust with both you and your pet. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while they’re with me. 🐶❤️ I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work full-time in the Arlington area with a hybrid schedule, working from home 2–3 days a week. I’m also attending school part-time virtually, which gives me additional flexibility throughout the week. My schedule allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pup, especially on my work-from-home days and weekends. I live in the DC area and can be flexible with scheduling depending on your pet’s needs and location. I’m happy to work with you to establish a routine that keeps your pet comfortable, happy, and well cared for! 🐾 I live in a one-bedroom apartment with a separate den, which provides a comfortable and cozy space for your pet. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow your normal routine as closely as possible. For overnight stays, I work nearby and have a hybrid schedule, so I’m able to come home during my lunch break to let your pup out for a potty break and midday walk. I also live in a very walkable area, making it easy to provide regular walks and plenty of opportunities for fresh air and exercise. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Candace was AWESOME! She watched our cats for an about a week, and made us feel so comfortable knowing our cats were happy and cared for. She always had great pictures and descriptions of what they were doing. She even went above and beyond, being willing to check our mail and clean up some of the messes our cats were making. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Savannah is my go to pet sitter for my cat Jasper. She communicates really well and I know Jasper is well taken care of when I am out of town.”

Natasja 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.

“We love Hakima! We know our kitties are in great hands with her. She is always reliable and communicative. We would recommend her to anyone and she’s always our first choice when we need someone to watch our boys.”

About: I have been doing sits with TrustedHousesitters for the past year- I’ve done 20 sits so far around the country and within DC, some as long as 3 weeks. Through that app I’ve watched everywhere from small to large dogs, puppies to old (with a strict medicine regimen), and multiple dogs at once. I’ve also done a number of cat sits (and grew up with cats!) Happy to provide my profile from TrustedHousesitters with all my reviews! I currently work remotely and have a flexible call schedule so I’m looking to find some sits that I can fit in throughout the day and over the weekend. I’d love to find some options when people are out of town, but happy to consider a more regular sit schedule as well. I would not be able to care for the pets in my own home, but happy to come to you! I also am happy to stay overnight for pets that need more attention.

“I’d give callen 6 stars if I could. She was great! Communicative. Friendly. Professional. She helped out on a last minute ask and did great! I highly recommend her to look after your furry friends!”

Kevin Ferris L.

“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!”

Kara K.

“This is my first time working with Alexys. She showed up on time every time. She has a warm, friendly personality. I look forward to rebooking her for my next trip.”

Susan P.

“Abigail was fantastic with our dogs, and a pleasure to work with overall. Very responsive, friendly, and reliable. The dogs loved her. Highly recommend booking with her.”

Sam B.

“Marta was great looking after our cat, Bijou, while we were away for our honeymoon. She was consistent with her check in times and provided detailed updates on how our guy was doing. She even helped bring in some packages that had arrived and looked after our dying plants :)”

Catherine H.

“Kayli did a fantastic job checking on my cat! Her Rover cards were very detailed and she provided great photos! She is the sweetest and went above and beyond throughout her sessions, even watering my plants when she noticed they needed it! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a drop-in pet sitter.”

About: I grew up with pet dogs since I was 5 years old. I’m able to board dogs overnight, take for walks, or just give company & check in on. I prefer small to medium dogs. I can come to you as well or do drop offs / pick ups for a little extra! I work in an office full time, but have Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays fully open! I can also walk your dogs or care for them on weeknights. I live in a 1-bed apartment in DuPont, but there are elevators for older dogs and there’s plenty of greenery around with DuPont circle and other parks!
