“Jacqueline was great! Timely and prompt communication, and our dog was super excited to see her. She handled our dog’s puppy energy really well, and I’d highly recommend her in the future.”
About: I’ve always had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two dogs and now have two cats in the city! Can’t wait to meet your pet! Currently a student so I have a flexible schedule, so weekday drop ins and walks should be easy to schedule! Mondays and Tuesdays are my busiest days. I have two friendly cats who have regularly interacted with other cats. I would love to take dogs for long walks to help tire them out and keep them entertained!
“Thank you so much! Awesome pictures to show me my pups activity and being safe back at home. I appreciate the long walk and following instructions for entry and exit of home. We hope to see you again!”
“Jefferson takes great care of my big guy. He jumped in for a last minute need and now is our weekly walker. During our first meeting he took diligent notes which showed me his high level of care. Definitely will use again.”
About: Growing up, I’ve helped take care of many different kinds of animals, from dogs to cats to reptiles! I have fostered a dog and I currently am the proud owner of a leopard gecko. I just graduated law school and I’ll be studying for the bar exam for the next few months. My schedule is very flexible! I can study from home or your place if needed and I’ll have lots of time to play with your pet. If at your home, I’ll gladly respect whichever rules you have for where your pets or I should and shouldn’t go. At my place, the only pet I have is a leopard gecko who’s always in her (pet proofed) tank!
About: Hello! I am appreciative of all fuzzy friends, big and small. I have two cats of my own, with loads of dog care experience. I have lots of experience with young puppies, senior pets who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), fickle kitties, and shy pets. I’ve trained three cats from kittens, and can provide care for those still learning litter box manners. I work a traditional 9-5, and wfh 3 days a week. Depending on the day, I can offer a lunch break check in, meal time pop ins, and lots of weekend love! As a visitor of your home, I am open to whatever method you employ for your friend’s safety. I have experience with crate training and am happy to continue your training practices. In my own home, I keep my cats safe by keeping out a toxic plants/food items and practicing general cat safety (no breakables near the shelf edges ifkyk).
“Heather is great! I can tell she really cared for my dog, especially during hot or rainy days. She was never late or asked to reschedule. Going forward, she would be my first choice for dog walking if schedules align.”
“Jayla has been wonderful to George, and she’s really tried hard to make sure he is happy on his walks. She is responsive and timely and a kind person. She has done an excellent job, and I highly recommend her!”
“Cooper was so excited to see Gracie for their morning walk! This was the first time she had walked him but he recognized her from our meet and greet. He had fun on their walk with his ball and she sent tons of pictures. Thanks so much!”
“Dominic has been walking Madi twice a week for the past two months. He takes great care of Madi, shares cute pics and funny notes/commentary of their walks/encounters. He also puts up w some of Madi’s stubborn ways w/o issue.”
“Jondle was great with our older (and sometimes stubborn) French bulldog! She was very responsive throughout the entire process and made a point to come meet me and Eloise before she started caring for her.”
“Emily is great. She is kind and patient. I had forgotten to leave out poop bags one day, and she picked it up using paper towels - legit!!!! Thank you for your wonderful service, Emily!!!”
“Julia is excellent. Very communicative, timely, and most of all, gave Camden a great walk and lots of love! We loved getting her feedback on the walk and several pics of Camden.”
About: I recently spent a month cat sitting. I loved hosting him. He warmed up to me quickly. I gave him ample pets throughout the day. I work from home most days so I am able to offer plenty of attention. I should be able to accommodate their feeding schedule! Happy to discuss scheduling as well as your needs and preferences! I am able to offer drop ins visits during the day within Dupont Circle, otherwise before or after work would be more realistic. I live in a small, open space, great for exploring and playing. I am quick to clean the litter box. Happy to send photos regularly! I am also able to sit rabbits!
Dupont Circle dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kristin was super patient and attentive walking our dog Ollie who can be a little nervous in busy areas. After only a few walks we just so happened to run into Kristin on the street and Ollie was super excited to see her — so much so that Ollie wanted to walk home with her rather than me! A ringing endorsement from our dog!
Natasha is an absolute lifesaver! I reached out last minute after an unexpected work event came up, and she responded almost immediately — no hesitation, just a quick "I've got you." That kind of responsiveness means everything when you're scrambling. But what really stood out was how she treated Boey. She didn't just walk him and call it a day — she spent extra time playing with him and genuinely getting to know him. You could tell it wasn't just a job for her. She's compassionate in a way that's hard to find, and Boey was in great hands the whole time. Highly recommend Natasha — especially if you ever need someone you can count on in a pinch. Will 100% hire again!
We hired Rachel to walk our dog for the first time this week, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. From our initial communication, she was highly professional, punctual, and very attentive to our pup’s routine and needs. She made the whole process seamless. Rachel also shared an update and photos after the walk. Our dog came home happy, well-exercised, and completely relaxed. It’s clear she has a natural way with animals and genuinely cares about our precious angel. We will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker!
