About: Hello! I am appreciative of all fuzzy friends, big and small. I have two cats of my own, with loads of dog care experience. I have lots of experience with young puppies, senior pets who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), fickle kitties, and shy pets. I’ve trained three cats from kittens, and can provide care for those still learning litter box manners. I work a traditional 9-5, and wfh 3 days a week. Depending on the day, I can offer a lunch break check in, meal time pop ins, and lots of weekend love! As a visitor of your home, I am open to whatever method you employ for your friend’s safety. I have experience with crate training and am happy to continue your training practices. In my own home, I keep my cats safe by keeping out a toxic plants/food items and practicing general cat safety (no breakables near the shelf edges ifkyk).
“Jefferson takes great care of my big guy. He jumped in for a last minute need and now is our weekly walker. During our first meeting he took diligent notes which showed me his high level of care. Definitely will use again.”

“Jacqueline has been a great dog walker for my dog Toby! She has been super flexible and responsive when scheduling visits. She has been available on short notice! I highly recommend Jacqueline!”

“Cooper was so excited to see Gracie for their morning walk! This was the first time she had walked him but he recognized her from our meet and greet. He had fun on their walk with his ball and she sent tons of pictures. Thanks so much!”
About: Growing up, I’ve helped take care of many different kinds of animals, from dogs to cats to reptiles! I have fostered a dog and I currently am the proud owner of a leopard gecko. I just graduated law school and I’ll be studying for the bar exam for the next few months. My schedule is very flexible! I can study from home or your place if needed and I’ll have lots of time to play with your pet. If at your home, I’ll gladly respect whichever rules you have for where your pets or I should and shouldn’t go. At my place, the only pet I have is a leopard gecko who’s always in her (pet proofed) tank!
“Jayla has been wonderful to George, and she’s really tried hard to make sure he is happy on his walks. She is responsive and timely and a kind person. She has done an excellent job, and I highly recommend her!”


“Jondle was great with our older (and sometimes stubborn) French bulldog! She was very responsive throughout the entire process and made a point to come meet me and Eloise before she started caring for her.”

“Ella was a wonderful dog sitter and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again! Very thoughtful and thorough check in reports with pictures and a summary each visit - definitely reassured me that my dog was happy and well taken care of while I was out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Super happy, I was a little nervous about having someone I didn’t know taking care of my fur-baby. Yang Carlos S., was so caring and sweet with my little boy. I also was worried about opening my home to someone and everything is in its place. I am so grateful to Yang Carlos S. for his professional and caring service he provided.”

“Katherine was extraordinarily communicative, professional, and flexible even on short notice. I had so much peace of mind knowing that she was taking care of my pup while I was at work.”

About: I’ve grown up with cats/dogs my entire life and am a huge animal person. I’ve watched friends and family’s animals off and on throughout the years and make sure I spend as much time with them as possible during visits and follow any given instructions. I have two cats of my own, Evan (8) and Cuphead (9), and expect great cat sitting from those who watch them when I’m gone. Therefore, I would give nothing less to animals I sit for as well! I have a full-time job so I’m available on the week-days before 9AM and after 5:30PM. Weekends I’m available at any time you may need. I’ll always make sure to follow all instructions you give- both of my cats are on specific diets so I’m very conscious of animals’ needs. I also am happy to spend as much time with your animal as you’d like in order to keep them company and keep them happy. I have experience giving pills as well. Also happy to clean litter boxes and make sure there’s always fresh water for cats.
About: I grew up with a dog my entire life, so taking care of pets is a huge passion of mine! I love volunteering at animal shelters, dog sitting/walking on rover or for friends and family members, and I have also volunteered at an animal rehabilitation center in Costa Rica to help return sick, orphaned, and injured animals to their natural habitats. Pet care fits into my weekly routine really naturally, as I have availability most mornings for walks and check-ins. My schedule is quite flexible, so I’m able to adjust as needed. I can also provide boarding for smaller dogs in a calm, safe environment, especially since I’m home often and enjoy having animals around. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment in Kalorama that would be comfortable for a small or medium-sized dog. I’m just a few minutes away from a dog park, which makes it easy to give them outdoor time and exercise. I take dogs on walks around the neighborhood and to nearby parks, with potty breaks as often as they need. I’m attentive to any specific care instructions and try to closely replicate their home routines. I also encourage frequent communication with owners to ensure a stress-free, safe, and reassuring stay.
“Elliott is great with my large puppy who is still in training to learn not to pull. He is extremely punctual and reliable, but also flexible if I need to switch days! He is also incredible responsive to my messages and questions, and gives me a detailed summary of how my pup did on his walk. I highly recommend Elliott.”

“Courtney is amazing and was a pleasure to engage. Everything was perfect. We appreciated all of the attention and effort with our energetic 4 month old puppy Brewster. Also, thank you for the great puppy tips.”

Kalorama dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kristin was super patient and attentive walking our dog Ollie who can be a little nervous in busy areas. After only a few walks we just so happened to run into Kristin on the street and Ollie was super excited to see her — so much so that Ollie wanted to walk home with her rather than me! A ringing endorsement from our dog!

Natasha is an absolute lifesaver! I reached out last minute after an unexpected work event came up, and she responded almost immediately — no hesitation, just a quick "I've got you." That kind of responsiveness means everything when you're scrambling. But what really stood out was how she treated Boey. She didn't just walk him and call it a day — she spent extra time playing with him and genuinely getting to know him. You could tell it wasn't just a job for her. She's compassionate in a way that's hard to find, and Boey was in great hands the whole time. Highly recommend Natasha — especially if you ever need someone you can count on in a pinch. Will 100% hire again!

We hired Rachel to walk our dog for the first time this week, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. From our initial communication, she was highly professional, punctual, and very attentive to our pup’s routine and needs. She made the whole process seamless. Rachel also shared an update and photos after the walk. Our dog came home happy, well-exercised, and completely relaxed. It’s clear she has a natural way with animals and genuinely cares about our precious angel. We will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker!
