“I can always relax when I travel because I know Ashley is taking very good care of my cat. Her reports and photos are such a relief, and I can tell that my cat really likes her!”


“Caroline is a very reliable care giver who takes the time to engage with your pet as well as provide their basic needs. She sent plenty of pictures and an update each day on my cat's general well-being.”


About: I have raised three dogs through puppyhood, adulthood, and seniorhood (a pointer/border collie mix, Weimaraner/greyhound mix, and a Westie). I have been trained in puppy obedience and clicker training and pride myself on being able to work with any dog-- from anxious, temperamental pups, to rowdy balls of energy, to silly couch potatoes-- I am here to keep your fur baby happy, healthy, and safe in your absence. In addition to my own dogs, I have had the privilege of caring for countless other friends' and neighbors' dogs and cats, and since moving to DC from California have been volunteering at the Humane Rescue Alliance shelter as a sensitivity-minded dog walker and enrichment provider as well as a cat care provider. I love all animals and am happy to help! I am currently a full time graduate student with a very flexible schedule and available to accommodate pet check ins, walks, and additional responsibilities within my class schedule. Depending on the dog's behavior, medical history, and location I work to minimize risks to the pet's safety and remain alert and attentive to the dog's body language as well as our surroundings, regardless of whether we are outside or inside.

“Daria was incredible and took very good care of my cat while I was out of the country! She sent detailed messages with photos and videos, went above and beyond by troubleshooting his automatic litter box and water fountain, and really bonded with him. She's a true cat lover and professional and I highly recommend her. Thank you Daria!”


“Elizabeth took such great care of my cat! I was nervous about leaving my cat for the first time, but Elizabeth gave me such peace of mind with her updates and pictures/videos!”


About: Use my code JULIEL80305 for $20 off your first booking! I grew up with dogs (one husky, one Aussie Shepherd), and also dogsat on the side back home in Denver. Altogether, I have at least 20 years of experience with high energy breeds. These days I'm here in DC, where I live with my boyfriend and our corgi Romeo. Romeo is highly socialized, very friendly and will treat your baby as part of the pack! Trust that your puppy will have a friend to play with, and plenty of outside time (I live next to two dog parks, and tons of wooded trails). I'm 100% remote, and often use the time to walk my doggy around the neighborhood and take him to the dog park or wooded trails nearby. My boy is very active, so we're outside at least 4-5x per day. That said, your fur baby will get lots of fun outdoor time! My family dogs have had health challenges such as epilepsy, respiratory, food allergy and back issues -- all that to say, I'm comfortable adhering to pill schedules, strict dietary requirements, and making physical accommodations for your pup during their stay. I'm very attentive towards doggos in my care, and strive to provide an environment that is safe & enriching for them!

“Annika made our first Rover experience excellent. Communication with Annika was swift and clear from the very first message to handing back the keys. Getting what felt like live updates with photos as Annika took care of our cats was extremely nice and helpful. It almost felt like being there with her. And, most important, our two furry family members received great care while we were gone. We could tell from the photos that we received that both cats were very appreciative of Annika’s services and attention. And so are we. Thank you for a great service, Annika!”


“We had issues with our doorman passing off our key and Evan was very patient and communicative throughout it all! Evan has been reliable every time we’ve used him and we will certainly continue to use him!”


“Emma was fab with my boys and kept me informed of all updates. She was very caring and helpful with my anxious cats, even when they left her a few surprises! I would be more than happy to use Emma again and appreciate her help!”


“I literally can't say enough good things about Henry's pet sitting. He gives detailed updates about my cats' moods and health, spends time socializing with them, and sends so many cute pictures of them after every visit. My cats aren't always the most social and can be slow to trust new people, but he's taken the time to get to know them and their personalities and it shows with how much more comfortable they are with him now!”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat, Ivy, received! Summar arrived right on time for the appointment and made sure to keep me updated on how Ivy was doing. The photo she sent of them bonding was all I needed to know that my cat was in great hands—it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond, not only taking excellent care of Ivy but also cleaning her dishes, picking up litter debris, and making sure the cat waste was properly taken care of. Her responsiveness, flexibility, and genuine love for animals were evident in every interaction. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter who will treat your pet like their own, I highly recommend booking with Summar! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”


“Jesica has always been great during our repeat bookings to check in on our two cats. This last trip we didn’t set up one automatic feeder properly, and Jesica tried her best to troubleshoot. We really appreciate her open communication and great pictures of our cats!”


“Jules was a wonderful sitter for my cat!! She dropped in on Oreo several times over a few days. Oreo the kitty is usually very mean to strangers but she ran up to Jules and sniffed her politely (very shocking for my cat - Jules must be a cat whisperer). She was respectful of our home and prompt with communication and drop ins. Highly recommend Jules for all your kitty needs!!!!”


“Rachel is fantastic! Punctual and communicative, plus you can tell she really connects with animals. I rebooked Rachel for another check-in almost immediately - when you've found a good Rover, you can tell, and Rachel is certainly top tier. Thanks Rachel!”


About: Hi there! I've had pets my entire life. I currently have one cat I absolutely adore. When I was a child, I've had a dog, Lucky, who lived until he was 14 years old. I love animals and am experienced with pets of all ages and those with special needs, including administering medications, such as oral meds, eye drops, ear drops, and inhalers. I am patient, gentle, and will provide tailored care to your pet's specific needs and routines. I work part time and have flexible hours, allowing me plenty of time to walk your dog or pet sitting. I will work my schedules around yours to accommodate your fury friend's needs. I'm available for both workdays and weekends. When you book me for drop-in visits, I will communicate with you before and make sure to maintain your pet’s routine to minimize stress. I’ll care for your pet as directed, provide any needed medication, and make sure they get plenty of playtime, affection, and companionship. I will also keep your house clean and send you cute updates, so you can rest easy knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands while you're away. For a walk, we can arrange a meet and greet first to make sure your dog is comfortable with me before we go for a good walk.

About: Being bilingual (English & Spanish), I also connect easily with diverse families and can follow care instructions clearly in either language. Whether it’s a long walk, mindful playtime, or simply quiet companionship, I’m fully present. I treat every animal like they’re my own—loved, safe, and seen. Pet care fits naturally into my flexible weekly routine. I offer part-time availability for quick walks or check-ins—perfect for midday potty breaks, short playtime sessions, or giving your pet a little love and attention while you’re away. My schedule allows me to pop in reliably during the day, especially for local clients who need consistent, trustworthy help. I enjoy these moments as a chance to reset and connect with animals throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure their space stays clean and calm, and I always give them plenty of attention, affection, and playtime (or quiet companionship if that’s what they prefer). I also keep clients updated with messages, photos, and honest check-ins so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

Juliet L.
Star Sitter

“Julie Landeros is conscientious young woman. Julie was raised with pets in the household and did her fair share of dog walking, dog baths and nurturing of the family pet. Julie has been raising her own dog whom she adopted when he was just weeks old. She sees this pet (Romeo) as a family member and never neglects his need for food, water, walks and play. She would make an excellent dog sitter as she has had 20 plus years around pets and knows the expectations involved in caring for animals.”
