“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“Thanks for taking Chelsea at the last minute. There was a little miscommunication but at the end things turned out good. Chelsea got his Christmas gift with lots of toys from Sasha place. Thank you :)”
“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.”
“Our dogs, Rizzo and Ginger, spent the day with Andy in Day Care when we needed to go out of town. This is their second time with Andy and he is wonderful with them. He sent us some pictures of them, took them on walks, and put together a "report card" on what they did during the day. Andy is so good with dogs and we are also happy knowing they are in a safe and loving environment. We will certainly use Andy again!”
“Byamba was exceptional! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with his loving family. We received regular updates and Luka was very happy when we picked him up. Thanks again for your help!”
About: My interest in dogs started 5 years when I became a dog musher in the winters! Then I signed up as a weekly volunteer with my local dog shelter. And I take the shelter dogs on fun field trips (hikes, parks, canoeing on the potomac- you name it)! I don't have pets of my own so my time is dedicated fully to other people's dogs and cats. I also work part time from home and have a very flexible schedule. I will make sure I understand you and your dog's needs, and work together as a team and your dog has a super fun adventure and time will fly!
About: I grew up on a farm and I have been caring for pets and animals all my life. I had 6 dogs growing up on the farm and I had to care for most of them. I also have extensive knowledge on caring for puppies and elderly animals. As well as dogs in heat and pregnant. I work from home as I own another business that is completely hands off. So I love to be able to help people with their pets in the meantime. The pets will love the home we allow them to roam unless directed by owner to be in the cage. Also we have a backyard that is nice and fenced so they can poop and play.
“Rebeca is the best! Our nervous dog adored her and had so much fun. Rebeca took such good care of her, she came home happy and tired, they must have played with every toy and run outside!”
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.
“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!”
About: I’ve cared for many of my own dogs & dogs of friends, gf’s, etc. since the late 1980s. I’m a long time dog owner and dog lover, who is also a professional and former small business owner - who is mature, responsible, and serious. On the professional side, I have a combination of organizational/business management and basic sales/marketing & customer service training. I own a single family home with a large yard. My “main job” is in tech and I work from home nearly every day. I’m minutes away from a large park as well. The pets (and people) under my care receive a lot of loving attention in a safe, higher end neighborhood. I have a fenced yard backing up to a very serene, wooded/natural setting with tons of trees. If needed, my home has specific crates/cages and multiple rooms, depending on what the circumstances require. However, usually most pets are allowed to roam freely throughout most of the house and yard, as long as they do not conflict with or disrupt others.
“Jesper and his wife took excellent care of my maltipoo! They were very friendly, attentive, and took the time to understand my dog’s needs and quirks. I especially appreciated their patience as my dog settled into their home. And their pup Brownie is so sweet and adorable!”
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. :^) 🐾 🐾
About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.
About: I grew up with animals, especially dogs and just absolutely adore them. I also have a lot of experience pet sitting for friends and neighbors. I will treat your furry friend like my own and will love and care for your little one. My schedule is flexible so that allows me to really dedicate time to make sure your baby gets all the love and care that they need. I also am a runner so can run with your dog. Additionally, i have a puppy of my own so I understand how to work with younger dogs as well. I live in the Germantown are but can travel. Please provide me with information regarding your pet including any special needs, diets, etc. this way I can make sure your pet gets everything they need.
“Shayla is the absolute best! She is a true professional and so warm and awesome. We are incredibly grateful to have found her. We have 2 dogs (4 years & 10mos) who both adore her. Our puppy was incredibly shy but just a couple days with Shayla and she really came out of her shell. Shayla has such a natural gift for caring for animals and her house has an awesome yard and secure setup. We let her know about our concerns about our older dog being an escape artist and she walked us through the various measures in place to ensure his safety including she has even worked on threshold manners when him so he doesn’t walk through the door until he’s told it’s okay to. She also knows just how to manage my puppy’s anxiety and doesn’t see her anxiety as a hassle but is instead so empathetic and dedicated to building her confidence. She introduced our dogs to her dogs over time and in a way that didn’t stress my puppy out. She takes them on lots of walks and they come back from day care happy and tired!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Echo
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.
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!

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.
