“Felicia takes such great care of my cats. when we get home, they're always relaxed and clearly well taken care of. she even feeds the community cats that come to the back door! 💗”
“Kate has become a familiar, friendly face to our two furry ones. She’s so professional, prompt, and communicative, I wouldn’t even think about choosing someone else.”
“Jocabet was a lifesaver! She filled in last minute when our usual walker wasn’t available and was very communicative, punctual and gave great updates as well as photos. We will definitely book her again!”
“We can’t recommend Colleen enough! She kindly cared for our elderly pup during a vacation period that saw a storm/blackout/heatwave. Colleen thoughtfully provided updates and ensured our pup was comfortable during this time.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I provide reliable walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of affection to keep pets happy and comfortable. Safety, routine, and positive reinforcement are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s extra exercise, medication, or quiet companionship. Your pet will be treated like family :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have open availability to provide flexible and reliable care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays throughout the week. In the future, my schedule will shift to three days a week, but I will always keep my availability updated and communicate clearly in advance. My goal is to remain dependable and consistent so pets can maintain their routines without disruption. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks or litter care, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I make sure the home is kept clean and secure, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos so clients have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Julie has started drop-ins with my pup, Atlas. Atlas seems really happy with how it’s going and I don’t have to worry about her. Julie always sends photos and lets me know how the visit went.”
“Allison did a great job watching my two cats while I was away. She sent a ton of pictures and kept me updated with each visit. I would definitely use her again!”
“Kaitlin has been super great and super responsible. She took care of out 2 cats, one of them is very picky and need special attention and she managed that as a pro. She communicated and sent pictures when visited. I'm super happy with her service and will contact her again. Cats already love her.”
“As always, Idit took wonderful care of our cat Presley while we were out of town! She gave him lots of playtime and snuggles during her visits, and we came home to a happy cat.”
“Delaney was fantastic. Our cat has asthma and needs and inhaler and a pill twice a day for treatment. He also needs his food set in a timed feeder twice a day so he does not eat too quickly and on top of that he always wants some play time. Delaney did a fantastic job of meeting all his needs while we were gone so he could remain comfortably in his own home. Delaney clearly took care of our pet as if it was her own. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Chloe was wonderful to my two kitties, making sure to spend time with them alongside feeding/litter help along the way. I really appreciated her daily updates and getting plenty of pics of my babies! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the NW DC area”
“Erin was great with Pepper! She was prompt so Pepper could stay on schedule, asked clarifying when something was unclear, sent us updates! Overall, it’s clear Pepper loves Erin and Erin loves Pepper!”
“We could not have been more pleased with Leo our sitter from Rover. From the start he ahead a great relationship with Bella. I loved the notes and comments on each visit. I felt really comfortable leaving him to care for Bella. I would definitely use him again.”
“Fantastic and professional as always! Highly recommend Bri, she always does an amazing job. You can tell she really cares about the pets she is watching.”
“Kelly was so great with our fur pup. He was a bit anxious upon her arrival but quickly warmed up when she took him for a brief walk. Kelly knew exactly what to do to keep our pup happy and content. He had a great time with her. Thanks, Kelly!!! We will definitely call you again.”
“Sydney was fantastic! She was super communicative and detailed in her updates. My cat requires daily medicine for her anxiety and when my cat started to act out, Sydney was great at timely and transparent communication and because of that we were able to adjust my cat’s care to fit her needs. Sydney was great at following the new directions and my cat ended up loving her possibly more than me! Highly recommend!!!”
“Stephanie has been a sitter for our formerly two and now one cat for about a year now and has always provided great service. She's very attentive and thoughtful with our cat(s), responsible and a great communicator.”
About: After years of caring for friends’ pups and living with a lovable Goldendoodle, I know every dog’s unique joy. I’m patient, friendly, and love making walks a fun adventure for your furry buddy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially since I’m currently in between jobs and have a flexible schedule. I love being outdoors, so taking dogs for walks is something I can easily fit in throughout the day. It’s a great way for me to stay active, get fresh air, and spend time with other pups—it really brightens my day! I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they get plenty of active movement, have time to do their business, and get some playtime and attention. I’m very responsible and always keep dogs leashed during walks for their safety. I also pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs—like feeding schedules, medication, or preferred routines—so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.
“Olivia was lovely! Very responsive and communicative which I really appreciate. Will definitely be a return customer. Thanks for taking great care of Goose!”
Fort Totten-Upper Northeast pet parents share their Rover experiences
Isa did a great job with my kitties! When I came home their litterbox was in great shape and I know they were well fed. I loved that she stuck around to play with the for some extra enrichment. They love to play and her pictures showed their joy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a quality sitter!
Jared was fantastic with our crew! We have a dog and cats who are pretty wary of strangers, but he was so patient and totally respected their boundaries. He eased in slowly and the results were great—everyone was happy and relaxed. The communication was awesome, and we loved getting all the updates. Plus, a huge extra thanks for cleaning up some cat vomit on our bedspread while we were out—definitely went above and beyond!
Caris pet sit for our senior cat who takes a couple of medications for a few days while we were out of town. Everything was very smooth - Caris was very communicative and always sent messages when she was heading over for visits and wrote us detailed updates with many pictures. Our cat was in good spirits when we returned. We would definitely book again!
I cannot recommend Jaya enough! She helped me out when I had to go away for two weeks over the holidays last minute. She was very communicative, thorough, and professional. My cat, who is usually quite shy, immediately warmed up to her! She sent many updates and pictures. I had zero worries about his care while I was gone.
A cat sitter I booked had an emergency and canceled. Luckily, I had been communicating with Skylar, and she kindly stepped in. She was able to pick up the keys from the front desk since we weren't able to meet in person. She was reliable and conscientious. I do wish she'd taken more pictures of the cats and fewer of the litter box and food dish, but she was otherwise excellent.
Lisa was very professional and communicative with me, but more importantly knows how to care for cats with varying personalities and needs. One of our cats is a bit territorial/cranky with strangers, and Lisa approached her with compassion and understanding. She engaged with our cats in the ways they were most comfortable. She was also very thoughtful regarding some light house sitting tasks such as making sure the dehumidifier wasn’t full. You can tell that Lisa is a true animal lover who treats others’ pets the same way she does her own. We and our cats had a very positive experience, and would highly recommend Lisa’s pet sitting services to others!
Lakshmi was wonderful! She stepped in at the last minute when the sitter I’d booked for winter break had a personal emergency, and was so attentive and thoughtful with our cats and their quirks. She patiently won them over when they were skittish at first and it was clear from the photos that they developed a great bond over the time we were away. She also investigated and resolved a running toilet after DC Water messaged me about high water usage. Communication was great and easy, photos were cute, and the cats were in remarkably good spirits when we got home. I’d love to hire Lakshmi again!
