“We are out of state and needed someone last minute to watch our dog so we can freely explore DC, Veronica was super accommodating, understanding and incredibly patient with my antics. Nothing but the best for our baby boy and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in good hands.”

Jennifer W.

“Peter was very communicative and overall took care of our 3 year old labradoodle. He had other dogs there that were very welcoming and friendly to a new dog in the home.”

About: I adopted my first dog when I was 12, and the rest, as they say, is history! I have experience pet sitting for neighbors and friends, from puppies to senior dogs, including animals with medication needs. When I haven't had dogs of my own, I've been involved with fostering to get both cats and dogs ready for their forever home. I'm a hybrid worker with a flexible work schedule, so I'm available throughout the day, for whatever your pet(s) need, whether that's a midmorning walk, an afternoon play session, or meals at specific times of the day! I have a small fenced in patio, and I'm open to working with you to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and safe. I have experience with obedience training, crate training, and animals with special requirements, and I will do whatever is necessary to meet your pet's individual needs.

“Liz was so kind and amazing with Maverick. Sent me pics and updates throughout the day and even helped teach Mav some new skills. I felt super comfortable trusting her and would recommend her to anyone!!”

“The experience was very good - Mina was caring and kept us abreast of our dog’s behavior. Will certainly use Rover and hopefully Nina again !”

Ivette M.

“We are so thankful for the sitter care for duration of the service. We were updated with Remy’s status many times during the day. Would definitely recommend her service to any of our friends visiting the area! .”

Luizette A.

“Lexi-Saige took to Jessica immediately. She slept with her and hung-out by her side all day. I'm glad my precious girl felt comfortable and enjoyed her day while I was out of town. Thanks Jessica!”

Donna C.

“Accommodated a last minute request and was really helpful by picking him up with my busy schedule. Located right next to a park and sent photos to update me. Would book again!”

Melissa K.

“Laura was great. Our dog felt very comfortable with her right away and he didn’t want to leave her house when we came to pick him up! Will definitely be asking Laura to watch our dog again.”

Christine D.

“Dorcas responded very quickly to my ad to watch my little boy spot. She even drove to my work to pick him up for me. She immediatly sent me pics & was very easy to communicate about his needs. I know spot loves her already & we are so happy we found such a kind, loving and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much.”

Leigh S.

“I can’t stress enough how much Javi, my dog, loves his time with Rey. Every time I go to drop Javi off, he’s ready to jolt out of my car and run into Rey’s place. I feel so lucky to have found such a trustworthy and capable sitter/walker/human friend for my dog! He’s truly got a magic touch with pups.”

Lucy J.

“Jun is great, he was available and willing to accommodate our schedule. My pup had a great stay with Jun. I picked him up happy and exhausted!”

“Kate is the absolute best, she took such good care of Archie and provided the perfect updates and photos numerous times. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Saud A.

“Danyelle was great with Beckham. She was very attentive of him and made sure he had a good time with her. She kept me updated at all times and was very accommodating when I couldn’t get back on time to pick him up.”

Carolina C.

“Emily was amazing! We did a meet and greet a few days before hand and then on the actual day, my dog remembered her and was so excited to be back. I was worried because he’s a bit of a Velcro dog but Emily said he slept behind her while she worked and spent some time outside with her dog as well playing. 10/10, I will book Emily and Patrick next time I need a sitter.”

Lillian S.

“This was my first time using Danielle, I was truly impressed, from the first picture she sent me I could see that my fur baby was in love from the way he was looking at her with his paw on her arm, that put my mind at ease. Danielle was a ten out of ten and I will definitely be using her again. ❤️”

About: Hey all, I have been hosting dogs on Rover on and off for almost 10 years now. My dog Camden really enjoys hanging out with pups and meeting new buddies! I work in DC Monday-Wednesday, but the rest of the week I’m available for boarding and drop ins/walks. I have experience with a ton of breeds, ages, and sizes of pups and am always happy to take them on adventures! I work remotely and have a fenced yard, allowing me to provide supervision pretty much the entire day. My own dog Camden is very dog friendly and would love any friend to play with, inside or outside. I have my own dog as well who loves meeting new friends. I would be happy to take our dogs on group walks or hikes, and have my own backyard for them to play whenever they want.

About: I'm a life-long dog owner and have had cats much of my life. Years of volunteering at animal shelters has given me real, hands-on confidence with all kinds of animals and temperaments, including the reactive and anxious ones who need a calm, patient hand. I'm comfortable administering medication, managing mobility limitations, special needs, and the kind of quirks that make pet parents nervous to leave instructions for a new sitter. I also have advanced training for working with dogs with behavior challenges, training protocols, and dog and cat body language. No matter the animal, the basics stay the same: sticking to their routine, and sending photo updates and check-ins so you're never wondering how things are going. Your pet is in calm, capable hands. I work from home and am available for walks and drop-ins in the mornings and evenings, and midday as my schedule allows. I’m also available for house sitting. Have needs outside of this? Let’s talk! If the travel distance exceeds my service range, additional fees may apply. For walks and drop-ins, I keep things low-key: familiar environment, familiar routine, minimal disruption to their day. For house sitting, I stay in your home and keep your pet's routine exactly as you left it. I treat your space with the same care I'd want someone to treat mine. Got a weird routine, like needing to fake a 5-star meal, or finding the perfect blade of grass for a potty break? Tell me about it, I'll make it happen. Across both, I send photo updates throughout so you always know how things are going.
