“Mirren was a dream. During our meet and greet, she was attentive to our directions and sweet to our pooches. She communicates well and often and wasn't afraid to ask questions. I really appreciated her easy going manner and ability to deal with unexpected hiccups. We would definitely use her again!”

“Lauren was very communicative, left the apartment extremely clean, followed instructions, and took good care of our dog. When our trip got extended by a few hours, Lauren was very understanding and accommodating of staying with our dog a bit longer to close the gap. My neighbor also reached out saying that she saw Lauren with our dog in the hallway of our building and that she was doing a great job with her. Overall, we would definitely hire Lauren again!”

“Kymberlee was an amazing dog sitter! She sent me updates via the app. Always on time with the potty training. Very kind and thoughtful. Luna loved her. Definitely will book again!”
“Katelyn was extremely patient, attentive and kind to my senior rescue dog. My dog has a lot of special needs and medications, which makes it hard for me to feel comfortable leaving him. However, from the meet and greet I could tell Katelyn would provide top tier care and love. Her communication was excellent, she provided regular updates and lots of photos and videos. Would definitely rebook and would highly recommend. I felt like she loved Martin as her own in my absence.”
“Adelia was extremely communicative and provided updates on Mookie throughout her stay. She was great about maintaining his everyday routine, including managing his separation anxiety medication. I’d highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Dylan did a great job watching our fur babies! She house sat and watched our cat and dog, sending us regular updates and leaving the place better than she found it! Thanks Dylan!”

“Jayme was great with my dog and was extremely flexible dealing with some last minute and slightly complicated plans. He was extremely patient and I felt confident with my dog in his care.”

“Audrey is the best dog sitter! She is so sweet and caring to my pet:) I would recommend her to anyone looking for drop in sitting or overnight sitting. Can’t wait to have her watch my dog the next time I travel.”

“Halle is absolutely phenomenal! She exceeded all my expectations and needs taking care of Tommy and my apartment while I was away. She is very communicative and had the cutest updates throughout the booking. She made my trip so easy to enjoy knowing everything was being take care of — I absolutely recommend her in the DC area!!”

“Trisha is an excellent dog and house sitter! Our two dogs absolutely love her. We love the video updates Trisha sends and we can tell they are in such good hands with her. She also takes great care of the house and leaves it perfectly clean. We have used Trisha’s house/dog sitting services several times now and she is consistently as great each time!”

“Jini was a great sitter for my two boys! They had so much fun with her! She was a great communicator, flexible and overall a true pleasure to work with. I'm so grateful I knew my dogs were well cared for and loved when I was away- and that my home was treated so well too! Thank you so much Jini! Pico and Griffin are big fans :).”

“Savina did a great job with our dog Rosie! Rosie has pretty intense separation anxiety and Savina was super understanding and gave us great, detailed updates and pictures throughout our trip.”

“Christina was great with our extra-challenging dogs. She's clearly a dog lover (but also took great care of our cats). 100% reliable, great communication, and understanding when our plans changed a bit.”

“Amazing! Kai took such great care of my dog; gave him a ton of attention and took him out to meet his family which was very sweet. Rio seemed to have a blast with him, I will absolutely be using Kai again in the future. Thank you!”

“Mark went above and beyond, not just walking and caring for my dog, but taking him for road trips around the area during a weeklong stay. Watching him and my dog interact, it’s clear that my dog really liked him and that Mark combined gentle caring with firm direction in an optimal way. Mark also left my house cleaner than he found it, which was a nice bonus. Would wholly recommend Mark if you need a safe set of hands to dog/house sit.”

“Stephanie always goes above and beyond when she takes care of Luna. She is flexible, communicates very well, and pays attention to detail. She takes good care of our home as well. We are regular clients now.”

“Bradley was so great with my puppy. I never used Rover before and was nervous having someone else watch my pup and be in my house, but Bradley was amazingly and my pup was well taken care of. Sent pics of my pup out and playing which made me feel much more comfortable. Will def book again !”

“Ruth took wonderful care of my dog Jackie for five days. She was caring, loving, and treated Jackie as if he were her own. I especially appreciated how she kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Jackie was happy and well looked after, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver.”

“Corie did an amazing job dog and house sitting. She was great at communicating. My dog was very comfortable the whole time. I came home to happy healthy dog.”

Dupont Circle pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cant say enough good things about Salma. She went completely above and beyond in everything she did - we received fantastic daily updates with photos, she monitored our two cats as they got to know each other, and our home is absolutely twice as clean as when we left it. Truly the best pet sitter and housesitter I’ve ever hired. Leaving my cats for two weeks was stressful but Salma gave us the best peace of mind we could ask for. I can’t recommend her more. Truly a gem!!

Jire was so awesome! She came prepared for the Meet & Greet and made me feel confident in meeting our expectations. Our pup bonded with her so fast and Jire was so attentive to my girl. She communicated with me great updates and sent pics/vids throughout her sitting. Happy to work with Jire again!

Virginia was absolutely amazing with my stubborn-but-sweet old lady pitbull. So amazing, in fact, that I handed Virginia a dog that was hopped up on anti-anxiety with an upset stomach, and received in return a happy, chunky, well-rested pup. Clearly, Virginia’s patience and kindness won over even the grumpiest of dogs, and for that, I am very grateful. Thank you, Virginia!

Carol was such a huge help! She came to meet our dog beforehand which gave us such a peace of mind. She’s incredibly kind, communicative, took great care of our dog, gave us lots of updates through her short stay and left our place in great shape. Highly recommend! Would love to book Carol again.

Brenda stayed at our place and took great care of our cat while we were away. She communicated daily and provided updates and photos and I could tell she was sweet with him and he warmed up to her despite his shy nature. I could tell Brenda has a lot of experience with pets, and she was very diligent with our home and thoughtful in her communication.

John was once again a great sitter for Hermione. He followed all of our instructions to a tee and showed up on time. Hermione can be quite needy and John made sure to spend time at our place and send pictures of her while we were away. I would hire John again. Thanks!

Macky took wonderful care of our 12 year old dog and three cats while my husband and I were away for eight days. She sent us lots of updates and pictures, asked questions when she needed to, quickly responded to questions, and was right on time for our meet and greet and the day her stay started. We hope Macky will keep taking care of our babies when we need someone!
