“Joe was great and we would be happy to leave Dakota in his care again. He was super flexible and provided daily updates which were really appreciated. Dakota made some dog friends and seemed to enjoy his lengthy visit. Joe lives near a wooded area so it was nice for Dakota to be a little bit out of the chaos of the city.”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Serena is great! We needed a last minute affordable dog sitter while we went on a family Vacation and Serena came thru! We would recommend her for sure. She is friendly and has great communication. She sent pictures of our dog Taz throughout his stay. We will use Serena’s services again.”
“Melissa is amazing! So happy i found her!! She’s is very easy to communicate with. She sent lots of pictures and she shows a genuine care for my fur baby! I don’t worry about him one bit.”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“Rae is a kind and attentive person, and she made Oliver feel safe and comfortable during his entire stay. This was his first boarding experience not with family, and he had a good time. Will re-book!”
“Staying with Elizabeth was a wonderful experience for us and our pups. She is responsive, friendly, and chill—what our pups needed. A great experience overall.”
“My pups were very well taken care of during their stay! From the first conversation with Brian I felt comfortable leaving my fur babies in his care; meeting up and letting the dogs roam and get familiar was truly icing on the cake! Immediately my dogs explored his home as if it was our own (which NEVER happens) and they didn't bark at Bob or act uncomfortable while we were there. I got to know Brian and Bob and raved about the two of them to my husband as soon as I got home. Brian sent us tons of pictures during their time away from home, which kept me and my husband's worries at bay. Upon picking them up they were happy to see us but definitely were sad to have to leave. I'll most definitely be using Brian's services again in the future! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Stephanie was such a great host to my dog Bruno, she maintained communication/updates throughout the visit and was very attentive to my instructions for Bruno given he has a hard time adjusting to new places. Would definitely book with them again! -Lindsay”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zulma. From the moment I walked into her house she made me feel completely at ease about leaving my dogs in her care. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”
“Vania and her family took great care of my dog Winnie and provided updates/photos often during her stay! They were also so flexible when I experienced travel delays coming home. Winnie came home tired and happy!! Will definitely book with Vania again! :)”
“Lia’s communication is always on point! Charlie and I recently moved to DC and looking for a new sitter. Lia was honestly the best sitter for Charlie! She went above and beyond for Charlie even accommodated to his spoiled picky eating behavior 😂. Honestly I want to gate keep Lia but I think everyone deserves to have a sitter like her.”
“Jennifer and Louis were very friendly and accommodating for me and my pup first overnight stay I was very nervous in the beginning due to it being my dog first overnight stay. I a new to the app and was looking for a playful friendly dog that my dog can stay and play with occasionally. We have found one thank you Jennifer and Louis for your hospitality pictures and videos everything went great!”
“Tamara and her family are amazing. Oreo and Bentley loved staying with her. They took them on daily walks and her kids played with them, which they loved. She sent us photo updates the whole time I was away. Communication was easy, she was super reliable, and we came home to two happy, tired pups after their stay. Highly recommend Tamara if you need someone trustworthy and clearly loves animals. Her whole family made Oreo and Bentley feel right at home.”
“Jess was more than amazing with our pup! It was our pup’s first time being away from home and we were so worried she would be sad, but she had the best time. Jess sends lots of photos and treats your dog like her own. Would recommend Jess a million times over!”
“Mckinley watched my kitten Cashew over the July 4 long weekend, and she was awesome! A week before Cashew’s boarding stay started, she proposed a phone call to learn all about his care and any concerns I had. She sent consistent updates with photos/videos of Cashew throughout his stay, and he clearly had a blast playing with her cat!”
“Sunny has been absolutely fantastic in taking care of our beloved Wolf! From the very first day, it was clear that she genuinely cares about him as if he were her own pet. Her dedication to ensuring Wolf’s happiness and well-being is truly remarkable. Every day is filled with exciting walks and enriching activities that keep Wolf engaged and entertained. We are always thrilled to receive regular updates throughout the day, which give us peace of mind and let us know just how much Wolf is enjoying his time with Sunny. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for Wolf make her an exceptional choice for pet care. We are so grateful for Sunny’s wonderful service and would not hesitate to book with her again and again for any future boarding needs. Highly recommended!”

Melissa took care of my Zeeba like she was her own. I received plenty of pictures that showed Zeeba on walks, playing, and eating. Zeeba had a good time in a safe environment. Melissa went above and beyond to enforce command training and introduce Zeeba to one of her cats. I would use Melissa again in a heartbeat.
We had a wonderful experience with Rasida! She was reliable, responsible, and incredibly caring throughout the entire time she watched our dog. She was very communicative, flexible, and willing to accommodate our needs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and treated her with the same love and attention she would give her own. We truly appreciated how dependable and easy to work with Rasida was. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy,and caring dog sitter. We’d happily have her watch our dog again!
We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Mischa and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout her stay. She was so attentive to Mischa’s allergies and itching and made sure she was always comfortable and happy. You could tell she genuinely loved having her, and Mischa clearly felt right at home! We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands and would absolutely book with her again! ❤️
Patience is outstanding! Warm, compassionate, and caring, with consistent communication and videos throughout our dog’s time with her. She went above and beyond with our extreme flight delays, and she is simply a wonderful human being and fantastic dog sitter. Will absolutely book her again!!!! What a life saver and wonderful person all around.
Prompt, personable and informative. Jotrice demonstrates great care and experience working with large dogs. She sent picture and videos of the fur babies in her care and my Kali loved being apart of the pack. She thoughtfully ask about my old girl’s pressure spots to make sure she was comfortable. At pick-up Kali couldn’t decided if she wanted to stay or go home! That’s a great sign! I would recommend and would definitely use again should the need arise.
Cindy was great. She is kind and provided great communication during our dog taz’s stay. She sent daily pictures and updates. When picking up Taz he seemed like he was comfortable and did not want to leave. I would highly recommend Cindy. I plan to use her again in the future.
Brieana and her family were absolutely amazing! We had a last minute cancellation with the person who typically watches Vito and she responded immediately and set up a meet greet. We could sense the comfort Vito felt with the family the second he walked in so we already had an overwhelming feeling of calm going into our weekend. When picking him up he was so happy but also super relaxed and it was clear he had a great stay with them. I couldn’t suggest Brieana enough. She will be at the top of our list for Vito I’m pretty sure he’s found a new best friend 😊.
Max is our go-to sitter. He takes such good care of our dog and always sends photo updates throughout the stay. We feel great about the care our pup always gets when we send her to stay with Max and highly recommend his care to anyone on the fence about who to go to with their own pet needs.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hillcrest Heights home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hillcrest Heights.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Hillcrest Heights sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
