“Wally loved staying there and Claire was wonderful with him. She was very responsive in terms of communication and was willing to meet up once before our stay as a meet and greet to make sure he was okay!”
“Cassie was able to help out on very short notice, and was extremely flexible. Paul was excited to go back every day and had a great time! Will be sure to book again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have had many family dogs since childhood, so caring for pets has always been a part of my life. Over the years I’ve looked after dogs for friends and family, and since moving to Washington, DC I’ve also cared for both dogs and cats, including feeding, playtime, walks, and staying at the owner's home when needed. I’m a freelance graphic designer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work from home or from an owner's home, so pets can often have more company and attention during the day. I’m comfortable following each pet’s routine and needs, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or reinforcing basic training habits. I enjoy spending time with animals and paying attention to their personalities and comfort levels. My wife is also around on some weekdays and all weekends, and helps care for pets as well. We live right across from Meridian Hill Park, which makes walks easy and enjoyable, and our residence also has a small dog park. Our building is very pet-friendly and home to many dog owners, creating a welcoming environment for dogs. I'm very flexible as I only work part time and from my laptop, so I can work around your pet's schedule. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, and I’m happy to adapt to your schedule and your pet’s usual routine to make things as easy and comfortable as possible. I care for pets by creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment while respecting their usual routine and habits. Whether in my home or the owner's home, I make sure they receive attention, playtime, exercise, meals on schedule, and a space where they can feel relaxed and secure.
“Holly was absolutely amazing with Stella! Stella can be incredibly nervous in new environments, but Holly showed so much patience and gentle care to help her settle in. She truly went above and beyond to make Stella feel safe, comfortable, and loved. It is incredible to find someone who understands anxious dogs so well. We would definitely be booking with Holly again when we are in town—highly recommend!”
“Vernon took lovely care of our boy! He was communicative, timely and flexible. He took our request at the last minute and adjusted to our schedule. He is efficient and I could tell that our boy had a good time. This was our first time using Rover and he gave us the peace of mind. We will definitely be using him again!”
“Took amazing care of our dog. Was thoughtful, responsive and shared updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks Erika!”
About: I believe in providing individualized care tailored to each pet's specific needs and preferences. Whether it's administering medication, following a special diet, or simply providing extra cuddles, I ensure that each pet receives the attention they deserve. I have extensive pet sitting experience - from pup-arthritis, cancer and separation anxiety - I cater to all your needs. NOTE- First time clients will require a meet up prior to booking. This is to ensure good care, understanding and communication. I work from home so I am available on listed days 24/7; I also board one dog at a time during weekends. I walk the pets once every 2-3 hours. I board the pets in my house. I live in a gated community, and the house has ample space, and a small backyard. I'm able to do house sitting during the day if you are within a 1 mile radius.
“I would like to say thank you to Christian well my first time using Rover and helping me feel comfortable with my fur baby saying with her. She did a wonderful job communicating and sending pictures letting me know what’s going on and making this days feel so easy. I would definitely recommend her to anybody and using her in the future, thank you so much.”
“Rodrigo and Luna were wonderful partners for my dog Cooper when we needed help with day care! We really appreciated Rodrigo’s flexibility in scheduling and look forward to sending Cooper to visit again soon.”
“Mac is one of Peanut’s favorite people! Peanut loves her visits, and we love knowing Peanut is happy and safe. Mac communicates well leading up to Peanut’s visits and during. Highly recommend!”
“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”
About: I had the pleasure of raising my two pups from infancy at the same time - and they’re 10 and energetic now! I am very energetic and love all kinds of dogs, so happy to help! I work from home and am quite flexible during most work days! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m happy to accommodate any daily routine for your dog. I am very active so I can walk them on check-ins and definitely take them out for restroom breaks I have two dogs at home and they love to play with other dogs if your dog is friendly, and if not happy to hang out and take care of your dog alone as well. Whatever you and your dog are most comfortable with!
“My doggie had a wonderful time with Asma and her pooch Mica! She was super considerate of his idiosyncrasies, and planned out a wonderful, well balanced, day care day for him.”
“Supon was so great with Charlie. He sent many adorable pictures throughout the day and Charlie seemed to be having a blast. He even ate his dinner, which I was convinced he wouldn't! I really appreciate the care and attention Supon paid to the dogs, his calm demeanor, and his frequent communication. I absolutely would bring Charlie back!”
About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, ranging from small breeds to large breeds, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, gaining experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and providing attentive companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active play, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can accommodate a variety of routines and schedules. Whether your pet needs regular exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them company, I can provide attentive and reliable care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to ensure they receive the best possible care. I follow all owner instructions carefully and provide a calm, attentive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I understand the trust involved in caring for someone else’s pet and will treat your dog with the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. Regular updates and photos are always available so you can feel confident while you’re away.

Aroa was wonderful with Brie! She was available to pick up a last minute request and was attentive. Brie is never fully open to a new person, but she was immediately comfortable with Aroa. Lots of pics and updates and we would definitely recommend her to anyone!
Holly was absolutely amazing with Stella! Stella can be incredibly nervous in new environments, but Holly showed so much patience and gentle care to help her settle in. She truly went above and beyond to make Stella feel safe, comfortable, and loved. It is incredible to find someone who understands anxious dogs so well. We would definitely be booking with Holly again when we are in town—highly recommend!
Zachary and Christina are the best kept secret in DC. I tried a few other dog sitters when I moved to the area and none are as attentive. My picky dog loves going over and I’m quickly ignored as he scampers inside. They send phenomenal pictures and videos throughout the stay and my guy looks playful and happy in each one, another great sign of these thoughtful sitters.
Kudos to Hannah and Graham for taking care of my dog for half a day last week. I know it can be somewhat trying to care for dog who is typically a loner and very anxious in new surroundings. But my dog was super chill when I picked him up so I know that Graham and Hannah were patient and kind with him. They even invited him back for another stay! Highly recommend this couple anytime you need a dog sitter.
Emily was incredibly helpful and caring with the boarding of our dogs. Very timely responses and convenient availability. She gave us updates and pics of our pups as they enjoyed their time with Emily. We look forward to booking with you again. Thank you so much!
I booked a daycare stay with Claire, and she was great with my dog! She was easy to coordinate with, flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, very responsive, and sent plenty of updates and photos throughout the day, which I really appreciated. It was clear that she was attentive to details and followed all of my care instructions. My dog clearly had a great time with her and came home happy. I'd definitely book with Claire again and would highly recommend her to others.
Imogen was fantastic with Rosie! She was proactive, detail-oriented, and communicative, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. Rosie got long walks and trips to the dog park, and she came home very happy! The care and attention Imogen gave her was evident throughout. Highly recommend Imogen to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter!
Christine is a wonderful sitter. Jax is a senior dog, and I always feel confident leaving him in her care because she is patient, attentive, and understands his needs. He comes home happy and relaxed after every stay, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
