1. Gail O.
“Gail is our favorite pet sitter and has cared for our dogs, cats, lizard, and fish on many occasions over the years! She is reliable, trustworthy and conscientious. We never worry that they will be loved, played with, walked and fed while we are away.”
2. Savannah W.
“Savannah was great with our goldendoodle Honey! We’ll definitely have her walk Honey again!”
3. Eva S.
“Eva was so helpful!! She helped walk Apollo on short notice so that I could stay off my feet for my first marathon. She kept me updated, included pictures, and was super prompt! I could tell she genuinely cared about my dog 😊”
4. Jessica M.
“Jessie is one of the most patient, kind, attentive pet lovers I know — I highly recommend her as a sitter for any pet. On multiple occasions, Jessie has helped me with my golden retriever, Ernie. She did a great job attending to his needs (which are high, because he is constantly demanding play time and belly rubs). The way Ernie reacts to Jessie tells me that he fully trusts her! As a friend to Jessie, I have seen her go above and beyond to support her cats through their times of need (one of her cats is asthmatic and very anxious). Jessie will go to great lengths to make sure animals in her care are comfortable and happy.”
5. Nicholas B.
“Nicholas has become fast friends with my Akita, and they have wonderful afternoons together in the park! I am particularly pleased that he handles her dog reactive behavior so smoothly, and my 70lb girl is completely safe in his care. Nicholas always provides a detailed report for each walk they go on, and takes the time and attention to make my sweet girl as comfortable as can be while I am away. We are so glad to have found each other!”

11. Becca M.
“Becca was beyond wonderful; by far the best communicator and animal lover we've ever hired and that says a lot as we've had as many as 7 pets at a time and often need assistance. Becca sent images of our dog every visit and checked in and out with us via text for every visit. She's simply the best; Very Highly Recommended!!!”
12. Christina D.
“Christina used to take care of my Mini Aussie Riley. She's kind and reliable, a loving presence, and someone who I always felt safe leaving Riley with - and Riley himself loved spending time with her. She loves to take dogs on long walks and adventures and to keep them company while she works from home, and she lives directly across the street from a great park, and a five-minute walk from the Zoo and Rock Creek Park.”

15. Omid B.

18. Ali C.
“Ali is an amazing, reliable pet sitter! She’s been my go-to person for watching my dogs and cats when I go away. She always sends pictures and updates and I feel at ease knowing my pets are in loving and capable hands. She’s so sweet and I know my pets enjoy her company. Thanks so much, Ali! Looking forward to booking again soon.”
19. Kiera W.
“We had to make last-minute daily dog walking arrangements for a trip to DC when our dog sitter in NYC fell through. Kiera responded immediately. She was flexible, reliable, attentive to our requests, and remained friendly and communicative throughout the process. She took the stress out of what had been a stressful situation and we are grateful!”
20. JOSHUA M.
About: I’ve always loved dogs, and after having a great experience with a pet sitter for my three-year-old wire-haired Dachshund, Clark, I decided to register on Rover as a pet sitter myself. I grew up surrounded by animals in the Southwest U.S., and as far back as I can remember, pets have always been a part of my life. Growing up with animals taught me valuable life lessons like responsibility, trust, compassion, respect, and patience. Although I work from home Monday through Friday, I'm more than happy to care for your pet while you're away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend before any visit or stay to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I truly enjoy what I do, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet soon! I’m Clark’s primary caregiver and work from home. On a typical workday, we start our day at 6 a.m. with a quick walk, followed by his breakfast. Around 10 a.m., I take a break from work to take Clark to Logan Circle park. At noon, during my lunch break, we go for another walk. After I finish work at 5 p.m., Clark and I enjoy a longer evening walk. To wind down the day, we take one final walk at 7:30 p.m. On weekends, our walks are more flexible, and we often explore nearby neighborhoods and parks for longer outings. I’d be happy to care for your pet alongside Clark, ensuring they enjoy the same care and attention that Clark receives. To ensure Clark’s health and happiness, I provide him with a nutritious diet, constant access to fresh water, and a safe, cozy home. I make sure he gets regular bathroom breaks, stays active with consistent exercise, and receives routine vet care.
