“Alayza was very attentive and patient with my pup! Updates and communication were quick and constant. My flight home was delayed but she accommodated the unexpected schedule change. Will definitely be asking for her expertise again! My pup absolutely loved her.”
“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”
“Bria was the perfect pet sitter. She took great care of our dogs over a week period and left our house in perfect condition. She sent lots of photos and asked all the right questions. We will definitely be using Bria again in the future! Thank you Bria!”
“Niani kept me posted throughout the house sitting and sent lots of pictures and videos which was really helpful! My cat took some time but eventually got very comfortable and talkative. Thanks Niani for taking great care of Jamun!”
“Ada was amazing!! This was my first time using the App and she made me feel so comfortable. She agreed to a meet and greet prior to my house sitting dates and my dogs loved her instantly. She was very communicative and kept me informed on everything. As this was my first time leaving my babies with anyone outside of family, we were all a bit nervous and hoping this was a good match. My mom even checked in with Ada and she was totally cool with. My mom and dog both have dogs and we are pretty certain Ada has 3 new clients. Ada maintained my home wonderfully. She really was patient with and understanding and I would recommend her 10/10, especially for new clients.”
“Kayla does it again! Thanks again Kayla. This is now our 3rd time using Kayla and although it is now pretty simple and routine she has gone above and beyond what is asked of her. She helped fix a situation where one of our kennels needed to be reinforced and she helped fix it without any issues. Would recommend and continue using her for our pets needs.”
About: Growing up I always loved caring for and spending time with many cats and dogs my family had. Today I live with my cat and my golden retriever. I work full-time from 7am-3pm Monday through Friday. Fridays are typically shorter days for me so I can give your pet extra care and attention through the weekend! I am fully comfortable caring for animals in your home. I am familiar with typical behaviors such as crating and feeding, and if your pet has other needs please just let me know and I will accommodate!
“Ayniah was very good with our two dogs. One of them has some anxiety issues and is on daily medication, so we were pleased that she was able to work well with him through the stress that us leaving definitely caused.”
“Michaela was great! The dogs were well cared for and the house was in great condition! One of our dogs is very high energy and strong, and we trusted Michaela to handle her. We will happily ask her to care for our pups again!”
About: Pups 'N Us Pet Care Services has proudly served pets and their families throughout the DMV area since 2021.

“Stephanie was very prompt in replies and very cordial. She was also prompt in arriving and took amazing care of our fur babies, making sure they each had time with her. She gave us detailed updates regularly with pics and video, and there was even a crime situation on our block, which Stephanie handled calmly. I would highly recommend Stephanie!”
“N’Dia was amazing! I had a last minute all-day meeting and didn’t want to take my pup to daycare. I messaged N’Dia at 10 pm the night before and she responded promptly. She showed up on time bright and early next day ready to take on the day. Summer immediately liked her calm, bright energy. It was an instant connection. During their day together, N’Dia walked Summer for hours and took her to the dog park twice. When I got home, Summer was happy and tired. My apartment was clean, just like I left it. I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. As a student at Howard, N’Dia carried herself with the upmost professionalism and was a true gem. I will be using her as my go to dog sitter going forward.”
“Kalani was absolutely wonderful for us and our two dogs (one senior pup and one very anxious younger pup). She has great energy and I felt at ease the moment we met her prior to our departure. We were so lucky that she was able to accommodate us last minute and was very quick to respond and coordinate with our plans. Kalani is very self sufficient, easy going but responsible and thorough. She communicated very well while we were away, providing pictures every time. I know that Eli and Pearl really enjoyed her company and attention and we would love to have Kalani back anytime!”
About: Hi! I have been a pet parent for most of my life. I enjoy helping others in my community feel safe and less stressed with leaving their loved ones with someone! I can adjust to your needs and make things easy as possible. I usually respond very quickly and I am open to short notices as well! I am currently building an app and finishing up my Masters degree. I am looking for something to earn income while I finish strong on these projects. I have 3 rooms, I have doggy parks, normal parks, and various pet stores near me and vets for emergencies. I have an experienced pet owner besides myself available as well. I clean every two days in general and I clean my cats litter 1-2 times a day depending as well.
“Dee did a fantastic job house sitting with our cat and dog! She left the house better than when she came and sent lots of pictures. Our pets were clearly well taken care of.”
“Shannon was amazing with my dog Cash while I was away for a few days! Shannon provided daily pictures and videos, as well as updates as to how he was doing. I was very impressed with how detailed she was in her updates, and I didn’t worry at all about him while I was away! I highly recommend Shannon!”
“Amazing! Kai took such great care of my dog; gave him a ton of attention and took him out to meet his family which was very sweet. Rio seemed to have a blast with him, I will absolutely be using Kai again in the future. Thank you!”

Kylie was a great last minute sitter for our dog! Our dog is reactive and has a number of medical issues that Kylie made sure were cared for while we were gone. She was responsive, sent us timely updates and lots of pictures (better than the ones we take). We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter in the DC area!
Excellent cat sitter! issi provided updates and photos throughout the day, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. When Isaac somehow managed to catch a bird and leave feathers and blood everywhere, she handled the unexpected situation without hesitation—cleaning everything thoroughly and disposing of the bird for us. She also kept our home in pristine condition and took wonderful care of Isaac. I truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and attention to detail. I would not hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
My senior dog has a lot of medical and behavioral needs, and it’s hard for me to feel comfortable leaving him with a sitter. With Bria, not only did she seem to understand and love my old man, but she used her vet tech skills to administer all of his meds and closely monitor his respiratory rate. She flagged a heart failure episode early and worked with my dog’s cardiologist over the phone to adjust his mediation dosage to ensure he was stable while I was in flight. Bria’s expertise, reliable communication and nurturing personality were a godsend for my dog and me. I would definitely rebook and trust her implicitly. Would highly recommend, especially to go above and beyond for dogs with special needs.
Shakeia is wonderful! My dog always has a great time with her while I’m gone for a week at a time. She doesn’t get stressed, anxious or destructive despite me being gone for a decent chunk of time. Shakeia and my pup have a ton of fun together, and it’s nice to know my dog is being taken care of and loved while I’m not there. Highly recommend Shakeia!
Brian was amazing. We had a last-minute request over the holidays, and he truly saved us. He stayed at our home and took excellent care of our dog, King, who isn’t always the easiest, but Brian stepped in confidently and made it work without issue. Communication was great; he was always responsive and kept us at ease while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and a house left in great condition. We would absolutely book Brian again and highly recommend him to anyone on Rover.
We have an older, fickle rescue dog who can be challenging with new people. Bella happily came over for weeks leading up to our trip to take our dog for a walk to build up a relationship. Bella was very patient and understanding of our dogs quirks. Bella kept us updated during our trip and when we arrived home we got to see first hand how much our dog grew to love Bella. I would highly recommend Bella to care for your pet!
Mickela was a fantastic sitter! She sent regular updates with lots of photos, she was super attentive to Rowdy’s needs, and was great about communication. Rowdy absolutely adored her and I would definitely book with her again. As a bonus, I came home to a house cleaner than I left it. I would absolutely recommend Mickela to any of my friends.
Keisha saved our Christmas plans! When our sitter canceled last minute, it was such a relief when Keisha was so willing to do a same-day meet and greet, and stay with my elderly dog for the week of Christmas. She was responsive the whole time, and we returned to a happy dog and clean house. She even treated Marley to a Christmas present, which was so sweet!
I am a first time Rover user, and was for a long time very wary of allowing strangers to take care of my fur babies. Roy, unequivocally, is the reason this site works. Roy communicated often, thoroughly, and was even patient when we had app difficulties and my communication lapsed. Roy took care of my two dogs and one cat and provided stimulation and lots of cuddles. We came home to a house that was pristine and three happy and healthy pets. As I told Roy personally, having the peace of mind to actually enjoy the vacation is nearly invaluable. We are very thankful to Roy and will definitely be booking again should the time come!
