“Joanna and Gilbert took very good care of Snowy. They were very mindful of his feeding and walking schedule. Joanna was also very prompt with communication which I really appreciate.”


“Sonja had such a gentle demeanor with our 12 week old pup. From the start, she asked for a meet and greet, which was a very professional endeavor and immediately put her head and shoulders above other Rover sitters.”


“Bridgid was great! She totally got Oakley and did a fantastic job watching him.”


“It was my first time using Rover and I’m so happy I did! Sabrina was so quick to respond and accommodating when my work schedule ran later than expected. Zina is also wore out in the best way, the photos I got from Sabrina completely explain why Zina is so wore out lol she played so much and enjoyed her time there. Would book again if ever in the DC area again!”


“My maltipoo had a great time with Asma! Asma quickly helped him feel situated in a new environment, and she was caring, fun, and patient with him (she also shared some new treats for him which he loved). Asma’s also very responsive and sent nice updates of their day together. Looking forward to the next time!”


“My boys Biscuit and Waffles are very lucky to have a such a wonderful sitter in Leonard! He’s warm, patient, and confident with my boys, who always come home from a visit with Leonard and his family in the best energy. Leonard is on point with communication before and during dog-sitting sessions. My favorite part: the regular update pics of the boys interacting with Leonard’s family (human and fur babies), which show everybody relaxed and chilled in their home. Good vibes all around!”


“Meron took great care of my pup, 10/10 would recommend”


About: I have been around dogs since I was a kid and got my first dog at the age of five. Besides my personal experience taking care of all the dogs my family and I have had throughout the years, I have also done dog/cat sitting (overnight and drop in) for family friends. I am extremely thorough in my care for animals as I realize they are a part of the family. I have no issues working with animals (although I have mostly worked with dogs) who have high levels of energy or specific requirements. I have also overnight sat for more than one dog at a time. I work remote and am often able to care for dogs throughout my day. With a flexible work schedule, I can ensure that I am taking care of your dog whenever works best for them! While I am in an apartment, I live alone and have a fairly large space. Additionally I am only a few blocks from various dog parks (if that is something you allow). I would do everything in my power to ensure that your pet feels that my space is a safe environment for them and will be sure to communicate frequently with the owner about any questions that arise.

“We found Mac on Rover and connected based on tremendous reviews for doggy daycare. Mac is outside awaiting Keely’s arrival each morning, takes her on nice walks, and communicates well with us and our varying pick-up times in the afternoon. Keely knows the name “Mac” after just one week and is so happy at morning drop off. We are thrilled with the time and attention Mac provides for Keely!”


“I’m so grateful to Allison! She is very responsive, flexible, very patient and sweet with my dog who is very anxious and shy. I feel very relieved knowing he is in good hands. Thank you so much for watching my sweet angel!”


“Alexandra is very conscientious! She also took tons of cute photos. We feel really good leaving Chester with her and will definitely book again.”

Emily K.
“Over the past 7 years I've known Emily, her loyalty, consistency, and reliability has never waivered. She handles all tasks, small or large, with care and diligence. Whiskey, her family's beloved dog, is one of the greatest joys in her life. Every time I'm over at their house, she puts the needs of her dog first: walking up early to feed and walk him, endless cuddles, and lots of play time. Her dedication to her dog is the same dedication I see in our friendship. I know she will be an incredible caregiver to your own pets!”
