About: Hello, I’m Carrie and I love dogs! I have two dogs right now - Mattie (14) and Mavis (4) - and I’ve had at least one my entire life. I grew up around animals and love being with them and taking care of them. I first used Rover for a 2-week boarding for my dogs a few years ago and it was such a wonderful experience I thought I’d open my home for dog daycare and boarding, too. My dogs have had less than great experiences in dog boarding facilities and so I understand the desire to have a family home environment for your dog while you are away! I would welcome your dog for daycare or boarding at my home where I have both a fenced yard and a wooded area with a stream for daily walks. I take my dogs out at least three times a day. The home is a single family home with two levels and lots of space. I work primarily from home and on the days when I’m at the office, my husband works from home. I would take care of your pup on the same scheduled as my dogs unless you request a specific schedule. My dogs have the roam of the home and I have a fenced in yard and an outdoor space into the woods for leashed walks. I welcome you to bring your dog with whatever would make the dog comfortable during the stay and have plenty of space for crates, beds, dishes, etc.
“Sasha and Ming’s Team have been taking care of our dog for 3 years now. Our dog LOVES going back to them every single time. He gets lots of play time and is a happy tired puppy by the time he gets back home. Highly recommend!”
“Diana did an excellent job watching my dog. She asked about his likes and dislikes beforehand and was good at communicating drop-off and pick-up. She kept him entertained throughout the day with games of fetch and walks. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly enjoy caring for both dogs and cats. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether your pet loves to play, go on walks, cuddle, or simply relax in a quiet space, I’ll provide patient, attentive, and loving care tailored to them. My priority is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs daytime companionship, overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, or medication, I can accommodate their routine and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I strive to be reliable, responsive, and flexible to meet both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where dogs and cats can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they receive personalized care. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I would give my own.
“I recommend Loreen to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter! She made my dog extremely comfortable and was able to accommodate to our last minute time changes. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Tofu the next time I’m out of town!”
“Blaz loved his day with Grace! Despite not having time to meet in advance, he felt right at home just walking in the door. Grace is attentive and communicated multiple times throughout the day with pics and updates. Blaz will definitely be back!”
“Juliet was very accommodating to my work schedule. She kept me informed with pictures and how Remi was doing throughout the day. She is caring, kind and sweet and will make sure your pup is taken great care of.”
“Jie was very kind, flexible and provided a safe, engaging space for my young dog's first experience at daycare. She took care to select appropriate pack dynamic for play and even worked on some 'place' and calm stay training throughout the day with her, which was unexpected and awesome. My dog loves her, and is always excited to visit. Totally 100% recommend Jie without reservation and hope to use her services again soon!”
“Lee took excellent care of our dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced. We appreciated the regular updates and our dog was very happy at the end of the day. Would highly recommend and use her services again.”
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a previous dedicated dog owner ourselves (we recently lost our German shepherd) I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Your pet won’t just receive food, water, and walks, they’ll get attention, affection, playtime, and a comfortable home environment where they can feel safe and loved. I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout your pet’s stay. My goal is simple: for your pet to have such a great time that they’re excited to come back for their next visit. I currently work from home full time and my husband and I are also generally home during the weekends as well! We have a ton of time to Pets in our home are treated like family. We follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks (as energy permits), playtime, medications, and any other special instructions. Whether your pet loves playing, exploring, or curling up for a nap, we make sure they receive the care and companionship they need while you’re away.
About: June 2026 - I reduced my rates for house sitting, hoping to find a new booking, saving up for a trip end of July. Need help with drop-in visits, dog walks, or a house sit while you're away? I'm your guy :) I send pupdates upon arrival along with details of each visit -see my pics for examples :) Hello, my name is David and I love dogs, and cats. I work remotely, thus can't help myself but give more attention to your pet(s) than they might otherwise receive from sitters leaving during the day to go to the office. My rates reflect giving loads of attention to them throughout the day, not just a morning, lunch walk, and/or walkings. If your dog(s) only require an overnight stay with a feeding and minimal dog walks, we may negotiate my rates. Me... My first connection to dogs... It began with my Grandpa adopting me my first puppy when I was 13 moving onto a farm in Ohio. She was a rescue who was my companion for 13 years. After moving to DC, I made friends with a neighbor, whereby she gave me blanket permission to access her home, and take her dog for a walk anytime. It turned out to be a win-win for all three of us. I've dog & cat sat for many animal lovers, breeds including German shepherds, rescues from Riwanda, brown labs, poodles, rescues from South Africa, chihuahuas, pugs, Bichons, terriers, dachshunds, Cockapoos, pointers, greyhounds, all kinds of poodle mixes, etc.. And even more felines, too many to list. I too, have had cats, one as a child, and most recently my "Saffron" who passed during the pandemic. If I don't know your breed, I'll do my research as well as take notes from you. I'm pretty transparent, in that I send "pupdates" while I'm looking after your pet. See examples of my pupdates below, and thank you for considering me :) I live close to NW DC, one mile into the MD side. Working remotely allows me much flexibility to be mobile while looking after your dogs. I have references of dog owners who trust me not only with their dog, but with their homes, and their cars (as needed), too! Although, I also have my own car. As you can see from the pupdates posted to my profile photos, I am in touch consistently with sharing pictures and texting with the owner, so you're fully aware of when, as well as, how much time I spend with your dogs and/or cats. As mentioned above... I work remotely thus can spend as much time as needed with your pet! :^) 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 I work remotely thus can spend as much time as needed with your pet! I have an in-law suite attached to the home, that opens into a large fenced in yard, with plenty of space to play, as well as low traffic streets to go for dog walks on. :^) 🐾 🐾
“Yi was absolutely fabulous. This was our first time using a dogsitter/daycare for our 9 month old puppy. Yi alleviated all our concerns about leaving our pup alone for a few hours. We got tons of pics of our puppy romping and playing throughout the day. And came home to pick up an exhausted but extremely well cared for puppy. Fabulous experience and only the highest of marks for Yi!”
“Robin and her sons took great care of our Anne Shirley and sent us updates throughout the day! It was comforting to know that she had multiple people to hang out with. We would definitely use them again!”

We had a wonderful experience with Sasha. From her updates I could tell Teddy was truly enjoying his time away from home and felt like part of the family. She took such great care of him and it was clear he was loved and spoiled during his stay. She even sent Teddy home with so many toys, which was such a thoughtful surprise! We’re so grateful for the care she gave him and would absolutely trust her with Teddy again.
Diana is a kind soul and an amazing host for my puppy. She’s been very helpful with potty training and always makes sure everything feels safe and comfortable. Her adorable dog, Charlie, is super chill and friendly, which makes the environment even better. Diana is flexible, responsive, and you can feel her genuine passion for caring for animals. We’re already asking her to set up regular visits because we trust her completely. I couldn’t recommend her more!
I have a Malinois Mix, so he is very high every not every Rover sitter has the skills to take good care of him. So, it really means a lot to me when someone seems to genuinely enjoy taking care of him, and really makes an effort to be active with him. Moises always goes above and beyond to care for my dog. He takes such good care of Sisko, and I can tell Sisko had a lot of fun with Moises + loves him. I couldn't recommend Moises more, and thanks so much!
Jack was absolutely awesome with Whiskey! He took care of him for three days and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared. Jack was kind, communicative, and very responsible throughout. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Glen Echo commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
