About: I come from a family of dog lovers and have raised my cairn terrier since she was two months old and she’s now 12!! I’ve worked with big dogs, small dogs, old and young. I currently train my dog in emotional and psychiatric care as she is training to be a service animal. I am currently working a part-time job and do online school so don’t worry about me leaving your pets high and dry!! I have two pets of my own so I know how important attention is. I’m available whenever you need me I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where all the dogs (and dog owners) know each other. I have a large yard and live only a couple minutes away from a park. I can easily crate your pet if necessary and have a super shy dog that won’t bother yours at all. We have plenty of things to keep your pet entertained including a splash pad and plenty of toys
About: I have taken care of dogs for 12 years now! I am very loving, dependable and attentive. I provide a safe, nurturing and fun environment. I work part time right on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:45-5:45, but I do have a lot of free time to care for pets and spend time with them!! I treat every pet like my own. The environment is very safe and there is a lot of grass areas to walk and run around!
About: I’ve taken care of large and small dogs at home for many years. Current owner of a dinosaur/American Bully who weighs 100pounds who grew up living with his sister Chloe who was a 4 pound multipoo. I also had dogs growing up. I’m very experienced and very eager to work with you and your fury family member. I love dogs and I am ready to care for your dog! I will work around anyone's schedule. I am currently studying and available to be flexible and available for new clients. Night or day i can make time. I treat my pets as family, they are cared for like they are my fur babies which they are! When taking care of other peoples fury friends i always treat them as my own.
“Thanks so much Yerlis. Very professional. Dogs took to her immediately. Timely and accommodating. First time on the app and a great impression so far. Will see you soon.”
About: I love all the dogs. I enjoy playing with them and taking walks. I love long hiking in the parks where me and dogs can be closer to nature. I have always met only great dogs. They all have different personalities and this is something that requires patience and understanding to allow the dog connect with me. However, as big or small the dog can be, it has no difference for me. In my life I had only one time dog biting me and it was when I was a child and was running through the neighbor's property and the dog did his duty and started running after me. He scratched my left leg with his teeth, but it was more of a gentle warning, than a bite. Dogs listen to me very well. Sometimes I get surprised myself how well they respond to me. This is something I would enjoy doing with all my heart Dogs are amazing creatures! Thank you, Oksana
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with them and my family has owned them ever since I was a baby. My parents got me my own dog when I was 8 and I’ve loved them ever since. Neighbors, friends, and family have all trusted me to care for their fur babies over the years whether it be short trips or long term. I love dogs and am excited to help care for yours! I just moved to the DC area and am looking for work I can do between travels. I don’t have another job, so when I’m in town I am available any day and anytime. I will be starting federal certifications soon but that will be done online. I have a fenced yard in a gated community. I have 3 small Yorkies who are friendly with other dogs. They do have their own room if I need to keep them separate. I can board dogs here, stay at your home, or stop in and check on them…whatever works best for you! Happy to discuss any details or preferences before hand.
“While I didn’t actually get to meet Edmond and Nafis, they were very easy and pleasant to work with. They were also accommodating when my trip got unexpectedly extended. I got detailed summaries of each visit and lots of pictures which always puts my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking them again in the future.”
About: I've taken care of many of my friends's cats my friend's cats and a couple of dogs. I am a quick learner and will respect you, your dog, your cat, or any animal you have. I wouldn't want to have to worry about my dog, so I wouldn't want you to worry either! I am mostly available throughout the day, just make sure to contact me with time! I am typically open most weekends and I can work with your schedule if it is at last minute and I'm free! The area that I live in has a pretty walkable area, with plenty of trees to sniff and roam. The apartment complex is pet friendly and safe.
About: Throughout my life, I have been the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors, friends, and family. Whether it’s providing a high energy walk, managing feeding schedules, or simply offering a calm and comforting presence, I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine so they feel secure while you are away. My experience ranges from caring for playful puppies to providing the gentle attention required by senior dogs. I work from home full-time, ensuring your pet has constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. My own friendly dogs provide built-in company. I prioritize routines and close supervision. Without a fenced yard, all outdoor time is leashed. You will receive daily updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: As a dog lover I bring gentle loving care to all dog friends! I can also work on training and exercise with high energy dogs. I volunteer with a local animal rescue and have fostered shelter dogs in the past. I work remotely Monday & Friday so I’m able to provide adequate walking, interaction and attention. I’m active and can provide all levels of exercise and play. This includes walking, running, potty breaks, indoor enrichment with puzzles, lick mats and toys. I simply enjoy being around dogs and will provide extra care such as brushing and cuddles. I treat any pet entering my home as my own and extend that same love and attention to them. I prioritize their needs as well as their owners to ensure everyone is comfortable with the experience and to give my new dog friend a vacation while their owner is away! Dog sitting is just as exciting for me as it can be for a dog getting to meet new people and do fun things!

“Shannon took great care of our cats! She was very responsive, detail oriented, and kind! She provided detailed reports and great pictures that helped us feel at ease. We’d absolutely recommend Shannon!”
About: All dogs need a friend who will run with them, chase sticks and get a little dirty. I’m here to make the city feel more like a jungle and less like concrete. I grew up in VA, working on a farm and playing with all kinds of pets, so I’m not afraid of big dogs. I’m a former D1 athletes, and I work in education, with a background in child and animal care so high energy pets are no problem. I’ve pet sat exotic breeds of dogs for cash during undergrad at Georgetown; I’m also comfortable with high need pets! I’m down to clown but I’ll always put your pets safety first! As a data guy I’m big on little details and enjoy it following instructions. I make it into a game. I also live with a fellow rover person!
“Mike was amazing with Scooby! He watched him for a couple of weeks and took great care of him the whole time. He was very helpful, easy to communicate with, and made sure we stayed updated every day by sending videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Scooby was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover 🙌🏽”

Cynthia is wonderful! She takes excellent care of my dog and cat and always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She’s reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. She’s also one of the very few people my cat actually likes—which says a lot! Highly recommend her!
Shelby always takes such great care of Tulip when we’re away. We haven’t found a sitter we can rely on like Shelby in such a long time! We always know that when we book with her Tulip is in great hands. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for someone responsive and reliable. The pics and videos are always a nice touch!
I highly recommend her! She took wonderful care of my dog and treated him like her own. She made sure he was well-fed, gave him plenty of love and attention, and took him on regular walks. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and responsible hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
