“Mirren was so wonderful and helped me out with a last minute dog sitting need! I will definitely use her as a reliable dog sitter and walker in the future. Thanks again for your help!”

“Maria was fabulous and took such good care of my dog while away. She was reliable and gave updates throughout the weekend. I also scheduled 3 walks in addition to drop-in visits. I highly recommend Maria!”

“Brendan has been amazing! He’s been reliable, consistent, and incredibly responsive to any updates or concerns I’ve had, which made the whole process easy and stress free. He’s also been wonderful with my kitten—very attentive, caring. I felt confident knowing she was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Brendan to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

“Priscilla was great with my cat, who has daily medicine needs (an inhaler and pills)! She gave him his meds easily, played and cuddled with him lots, and I came back to a very happy cat :) Her check-ins were very detailed and I really appreciated the photos she sent along too!”
“We needed a last minute sitter for three drop-in visits. Melanie was very responsive and made setting up a quick meet and greet easy. She followed all of our instructions and took great care of Parker. He can be pretty crazy meeting someone new and she did a wonderful job of calming him down and making it a great visit.”

About: I grew up taking care of two dogs (one large one small) and several cats. I also used to pet sit while a full time graduate student. I also have experience caring for senior pets! I am currently working full time, but could come by and walk a pet with a lot of flexibility. I am also available nights and weekends. I am happy to pet sit for an extended period so you can take a vacation without worry! While I live in an apartment that may not be perfect for a dog who needs to run, I live near several nice parks. I am happy to come over and watch your pet in their home if you'd prefer.
“Katy was an amazing sitter for my cat Sadie. Sadie can be shy but completely came out of her shell for Katy! Katy was communicative, sent lots of great photos, and gave Sadie lots of love. Highly recommend her!!!”

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.
About: My family has always had dogs running around our house so I have grown up with such a love for animals, and I currently have a 5 year old greyhound/chihuahua mix. I would love to help anyone with their pets whether that be walks, drop ins or overnight visits! I have experience with each of these both with my own dogs as well as friends' and family's dogs and cats. I am a very active and energetic person so I would be up for lots of playtime and walking/running depending on what your dog needs. Please reach out if you are looking for someone I would love to help! I work from home, so I am available anytime for drop ins, walks and overnight stays. Because of this, I am able to be home with your pet and have flexibility with timing. I live in an apartment with several parks around. I also have a small dog so they would have a friend to play with. She is great with cats as well and lived with several for extended periods of time in the past.
About: I had two Rottweilers growing up and always loved dogs - and cats! I recently house sat for six days, caring for a French bulldog and an English bulldog, and loved keeping their routines on track. I’m active and always happy to add extra walks or playtime My schedule is very flexible right now, so I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including mornings and evenings. I can easily fit visits, walks, or longer stays around your routine, and I have plenty of time and energy for play and cuddles! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. In your home, I follow your routines for feeding, medication, and walks, keep doors and windows secure, and send photo updates after every visit. In my apartment, I pet-proof the space, keep cords and cleaning products out of reach, and never leave pets unattended. I always keep your emergency contacts and vet details on hand.
“Michael did a great job taking care of my cat and provided me with lots of peace of mind while I was away. He made sure to send regular updates and photos and was very responsive to my texts and questions. Would not hesitate to hire Michael again to take care of my pet!!”


“Jose was responsive in communicating both before and during the booking. He offered to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, which I really appreciated given the short time frame. He was attentive to the details, and took great care of my cat Olive. I would book him again.”

About: I have also fostered cats and Dogs and helped them overcome shyness and anxiety. Your pet will feel right at home with me. I can take your dog on walks or runs everyday or play with your cat indoors. I will always be available to talk or facetime if you miss your pet. I will be home most of the day. I used to do rover a couple years ago and finally have time to start again. I can't wait to meet all your amazing pet! I go into the office 3 days a week and am home the rest of the time. I am available for drop in visits and walks. I do not do boarding in my home but I am available to drop in to yours and take care of your pets. I have expertise with cats and dogs.

if I could give 6 stars I would! Alia was WONDERFUL w my cats reno and styles. She administered medicine, gave them lots of play time and sent me so many lovely pictures. It is obvious she really cares about animals and doing her job well :) highly recommend!!
Danielle did a wonderful job looking after our cat. Our cat seemed to really like Danielle as she usually hides when people come to our house. Danielle sent photos of our cat looking very relaxed and curious. Our cat was fed well and her litter box looked great! Thanks, Danielle.

Matilda was very easy to work with! She came at the same time each day and let me know in advance that one of the days she was coming later than usual. My cat seemed to really like her and rolled over for her to pet her on the first meet and greet. Matilda was the perfect sitter for my cats.

Elise is a treasure. She took great care of my cats (and home). She was super diligent in taking care of my cat’s daily med and really helped relieve a lot of my anxiety about traveling (first time since my cat started this med). I’ll definitely book Elise again!

We always have a great experience when Gabrielle watches our cat Annie, and this time was no different. We were gone for a longer time than normal, but Gabrielle took great care of Annie and made sure she was comfortable and looked after. We will always recommend Gabrielle!
