“Gina is always great with our animals. She gives our pup almost daily walks during the school year and has dropped in on our kitties when we’re away. She is flexible, responsible, and communicative.”

“Thank you so much for the thoughtful care for our cats and dog. We were receiving detailed messages, suggestions and lovely photos. We hate leaving our animals when we travel, but with Natalie’s support we felt 100% confident”


“Melanie did a wonderful job looking after our two cats and our fish while we were out of town for thanksgiving. Beyond feeding the cats, she spent time interacting with them as well. They had clearly been very well taken care of when we got home. She also kept the area the cats eat in and their litter boxes very clean, and brought several packages in for us, too. We will definitely be getting in touch with Melanie again the next time we need someone to look after our pets.”

“Rebecca was fabulous! She was communicative, proactive, and so patient with our cat Boba. It was wonderful to work with her, and I’m so grateful for all her thoughtful care.”

“Becky took great care of our cat Reggie! She followed our care instructions and left the house in pristine condition. Reggie got lots of playtime during Becky’s visits. When we got home we could tell Reggie wasn’t stressed, so we know Becky made him feel safe and loved. We will definitely book her again.”

About: Hello! I’m a dedicated dog lover who believes every pup deserves safe, engaging, and tailored care. Whether your dog needs a slow sniffari around the neighborhood or a high-energy workout to burn off steam, I’m here to make sure they return home happy and tired. As a professional in project management, I bring that same level of extreme organization, punctuality, and clear communication to my pet care. You can always count on me to be on time, follow your exact instructions, and provide detailed updates and photos of our adventures. My Experience Includes: • Rescue & Foster Care: I have hands-on experience working with the DC Dog Fosters network. I understand the patience, gentle reinforcement, and adaptability required to make dogs of all backgrounds feel safe and loved. • High-Energy & Active Pups: I maintain a very active lifestyle and love the outdoors. If you have a dog with boundless energy, I’m more than happy to take them on long, brisk walks or even weekend trail hikes out by Shenandoah. • Breed-Specific Knowledge: I am comfortable with a wide variety of breeds and their unique needs—from managing the stubborn, high drive of a Jack Russell Terrier to monitoring the breathing and temperature needs of a Frenchie. • Safety First: I am highly observant of my surroundings, ensuring your dog is safe from street hazards, extreme weather, and unpredictable off-leash dogs. I treat every dog like they are my own, and I can't wait to meet yours! I’m available for boarding weekends and available for dog walking/ sitting weekdays after 6pm. I’m also available for training and can meet at the client’s home I have a backyard for your dog to play in and no other pets. Spacious apartment in Northeast DC and some chew toys and treats.

About: I have been an animal lover as long as I’ve been alive. For 15 years I have been responsible for caring for a variety of animals but mainly Dogs and Cats. I have experience taking care of animals with a variety of medical issues. I understand the importance of consistency when it comes to caring for a pet in general but especially when they have health concerns. Comfortable around all breeds and sizes. Knowledgeable in leash training, potty training, and crate training. Just like people all animals have their own unique personality. Excited to care for your best friend like they were my own! I do occasionally work on the weekends so there could be 7-8 hour periods between me being with your pet. Would let you know my work schedule if that overlap with care. If no fenced in yard at residence will keep dog on a leash at all times outside the home. I am respectful of peoples homes since that is your safe space. My yard is fenced at my residence so if you wanted your pet to stay with me they would need to be comfortable around 2 fosters cats and children.

“Kordell did great work with our two cats, as always! He gave one of our cats his medicines while we were gone, and he was very communicative and responsive the entire time.”

“Tandy was excellent with our 4-year-old Golden Retriever Sofia! We could tell Sofia was comfortable with Tandy and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her. Tandy was attentive to our dog’s needs and we were impressed with her professionalism and flexibility, as we booked her twice with less than a 24-hour notice. We will absolutely book with Tandy again and highly recommend her!”
“Delina was delightful! When I got home, the cats were like “ho-hum you’re back, we’ve been plenty entertained by Miss Delina!” It’s as if I never left! Thanks, Delina!”

About: When I was 15, I had my first puppy named Marshmallow, a very handsome grey & white Shih Tzu. Since then, I've had this massive love for pets. I have babysat my friends and family dogs, including a pitbull, a golden doodle, a cat, a labrador, a pomeranian, and a disabled terrier. I will take care of them with lots of love & compassion. I can guarantee great on-time care for them. I'm a full-time student in college looking for a part-time job that smoothly fits into my week. Also, creating my own schedule is something that comes in handy on busy school days. I would take your dog on long & lovely walks, keep them well-fed, work on possibly getting them to new tricks & make sure things stay clean.
“Mike was amazing with Scooby! He watched him for a couple of weeks and took great care of him the whole time. He was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and made sure we stayed updated every day by sending videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Scooby was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover 🙌🏽”

About: I've taken care of dogs and watched after dogs almost all of my life. From my god mother's Rottweiler, Sisters Black Lab, my best friends Boston terriers a labradodle. Your pup will be in great hands with me. I work from home so I have no issue with being in the house with your dog. My community is very pet friendly with not 1 but 2 dog parks that allows for exercise and fresh air. I work full time from home, and have a very flexible schedule. Usually while watching pets for friends I'll go for a morning walk for bathroom needs, around lunch we'll take another quick walk and game of fetch and one more walk in the evening before the sun goes down. I care for pets depending on what you as the owner recommend. For my dog nephew, we only feed him at 4pm (put food in the bowl) so that in the mornings and nights when we take him out to do his business he's good to go. I like to have a toy or bone around for them to chew on while I work, but once we go out side I make sure we're getting some fresh air for at least 30minutes to an hour.
“Savannah was great! It was our first time using her, but she communicated well and did a great job taking care of our dog! She made sure he got walks, play time, and took his meds.”

“Sharmily was amazing watching my two cats! Great communication and loads of pictures. This was my first time using Rover and she made it so easy. Would absolutely book again in the future!”

Fairmount Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Becky took great care of our cat Reggie! She followed our care instructions and left the house in pristine condition. Reggie got lots of playtime during Becky’s visits. When we got home we could tell Reggie wasn’t stressed, so we know Becky made him feel safe and loved. We will definitely book her again.

Sharmily is an excellent sitter! She is very reliable and doesn’t skimp on the updates and photos. Communication and handing off keys was also super easy both times I booked with her! My cat likes her a lot and she is a huge comfort to both of us when I am out of town. I will continue to book Sharmily when I need kitty coverage in the future, and would recommend her services to any cat mom/dad!

Natalie is truly a VIP cat sitter. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure Pierre is not only cared for, but genuinely comfortable, happy, and loved while I’m away. She spends quality time with him, follows every instruction carefully, keeps me updated, and always makes sure he’s well fed and well taken care of. She is hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever had, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing, trustworthy, and attentive person to care for their pets.
I highly recommend Mickela for your pet sitting needs. She was able to fill a super last min need for drop-ins on my two kitties while I was away for a few days. She responded quickly and was able to meet me at short notice. She was very sweet and the boys took to her immediately. She was great about cleaning up their messes (including a puke surprise left by one of them lol). This was the first time I booked a sitter to do daily drop-ins and I’m so glad I reached out to Mickela. She was such a huge help. 🤗

Alexis was absolutely amazing while we were out of town! She took such great care of Uno and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Uno was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!

Anh was wonderful! My dog has separation anxiety, and Anh truly went above and beyond to help her feel safe and comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and as a first-time Rover user, she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend Anh.
