“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
“Jodee and AJ are the best and take care of Winnie like she is part of their family. Pretty sure Winnie thinks their house is hers too. Can not recommend them enough!”

“Nina was great! We were on vacation and had a last minute change of plans. Nina responded quickly to our inquiry and was able to accommodate us last minute. She took great care of Shadow! I would use her again if we’re ever back in DC ?”

“Leila was amazing!! She took wonderful care of my dog Mila, sent updates and photos, and made the whole process stress-free. My dog came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats and would prefer to only board other female cats to ensure harmony in the home. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.
“Madina was great! She was able to watch my dog last minute/same day. She was prompt with her communications and took wonderful care of Nova for the day. We would definitely book her again.”

“Cynthia took fantastic care of Woody during his daycare visit. She took the time to learn his likes/dislikes and quirks so that he felt comfortable in a new place. And she managed to tire him out with fun and adventures with her and the other dogs.”

“My dog Eddie had a great time at Marie’s playing with her dog and running around her fenced yard. He came home and promptly crashed. I highly recommend Marie and will be using her again.”

“Jennifer was so nice and great at communicating. I knew Gryffin was in great hands when she brought her dog out to meet us and he was all smiles and tail wags.”

“Jen and Louis saved the day and came through for me and my chiweenie Willar when I really needed a sitter who understands my senior pup's needs. Willar has dietary restrictions and some quirks, and Jen was attentive, followed all the instructions for Willar's routine, and she asked very thoughtful questions. Additionally, her dog Louis is so welcoming and sweet. They really helped with some transitions I'm going through and were very accommodating.”

“Such a great sitter!!!! So grateful I found Merlyn and her sweet pup Nugget! My dog Bodhi loves hanging out with them while I’m at work! Would definitely recommend!”

“Kimberly was great! She took the time to make sure Otis was comfortable and not overstimulated. It was our first venture to attempt to socialize Otis with other dogs after he was bit. She made is feel at ease with his stay.”

“Diana was a lifesaver for me and my puopy Ezra when I needed help on short notice. She communicated well and kept the process smooth. Most of all Ezra loved her from the start and was so haopy to see her each day. Definately reccimend!”

“Allie is great with Asher and took his special needs seriously. Asher made the transition to her as a new daycare very well telling me he is happy. I look forward to working regularly with Allie.”

Tricia was great ! We initially did a meet and greet to see if our doggies would get along and we went over how Milo’s daycare day would be. The day of the daycare went great, Milo went on walks and played with Lily and another corgi they were taking care of. She sent a lot of pictures and video of Milo and it was really nice see Milo having fun and relaxing with them ! Thank you Tricia !

Megan was absolutely amazing with Percy and Pico during their doggy daycare stay! She took such great care of them, kept us updated throughout the day, and sent plenty of photos so we could see how much fun they were having. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely book with Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!

Chris and Nina were great! I was in town for a short time and needed a last minute day care for my dog. They were able to accommodate my last minute booking. Communication was good and quick. When I asked for pictures and updates they provided them. If I’m in the area again I would book with them.

I can honestly say she is the best! 👍 My one and a half year old miniature poodle had an amazing time. She took more pictures of him than I normally would 😂which I really appreciated. The best proof of his great time was that he fell asleep right away! (He usually still wants to play with me after regular daycare😅)

Leah is amazing! It’s clear how much she loves dogs, and she takes such great care of them. That was so evident from how much fun Pisco had during his day with her. She was also incredibly responsive and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her with Pisco again!

Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.

Natalie is the best!! She has exceeded any and all expectations as far as taking care of and loving our dog— not to mention how she has been to kind to us by accepting last minute bookings and unexpected longer stays. Our dog is so comfortable with Natalie and in her home which makes any dog parent feel at ease. Natalie sends updates and photos throughout the day which is the best! We have used Natalie many times and will always recommend her!

I was very fortunate to find Elizabeth at the last minute when I traveled to Alexandria to visit my son and family. Although I only needed her to watch Demi for several hours over the weekend, she quickly established a relationship with my sweet, traumatized dog and greatly eased my burden of having her watched when I had to attend some functions without her. I’m glad to know I can rely on her during future visits.
