“I highly recommend Mickela for your pet sitting needs. She was able to fill a super last min need for drop-ins on my two kitties while I was away for a few days. She responded quickly and was able to meet me at short notice. She was very sweet and the boys took to her immediately. She was great about cleaning up their messes (including a puke surprise left by one of them lol). This was the first time I booked a sitter to do daily drop-ins and I’m so glad I reached out to Mickela. She was such a huge help. 🤗”
“Melissa is highly professional, thoughtful, communicative, and courteous. She took excellent care of our two cats who both warmed up to her immediately. This was my first time using Rover and I am so pleased I found Melissa! My husband and I could not be happier with Melissa’s service and we absolutely plan to book with her again in the future!”
About: Im a DC based management consultant with a soft spot for “furry baes”! I’m an experienced pet owner looking to help out my neighbors. You can count on me to be affectionate, trustworthy, and professional. When I’m not working or pet sitting, you can find me at a gallery opening, a new restaurant, at the local movie house, or spending time with my cat Javier. I fostered a dog this summer, and although I loved her dearly, I found her a fantastic home and taught her a few tricks! I love animals of all kinds, and they love me back! Contact me to schedule a visit. I’d love to meet your furry family member! I was unfortunately laid off last year from my consulting career. But that’s ok! I now have more time to connect with nature, decompress, and nurture my inner animal lover! I believe the best sitters and walkers enter your home with good energy, as animals often recognize when a human is well intentioned. I know how to approach pets, and most importantly, wait for them to approach me.
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: I have cared for pets since I was young. I am a loving dog owner who cares for pets with kindness. I have cared for pets of all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to play. I am a dog owner that works from home. My pup would love to meet some new friends. Your pet will have plenty of potty breaks and play time. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of toys for play. I am the proud owner of a boxer boy who would love to play with your pet.
“Cynthia was an amazing support for me! I had never left my two 1 year old cats alone before, and she made me feel so comfortable. Not only did she walk me through everything I needed to sort out before I left, she checked in throughout the week and sent lots of pictures of the boys doing their favorite activities. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I have plenty of pet experience! I say pet because I have had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, and even turtles! I wish I could watch them all but I can only watch a cat or dog :) I will care for them as my own & can fully trust me to take care of your love bug! I work from home so I have plenty of time on my hands! I can even work from my phone if I need to take them out on a walk around the neighborhood. I live in a safe neighborhood with a lot of animals around! I live in a full apartment with a lot of space and lighting for your love bug to be comfortable as they want to be!
“Shannon did a great job taking care of my 2 cats and my house while I was away on business for several days. My cats are both rescues and a little skittish but they really warmed up to Shannon quickly. One even let Shannon pick her up. Highly recommend.”
About: I have more than 14 years of professional animal-care experience, including 10 years working as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including seniors, shy or anxious pets, and animals with medical or special-care needs. My veterinary background taught me to pay close attention to the little things — changes in appetite, behavior, mobility, bathroom habits, or overall comfort — and to recognize when something may need closer attention. I’m also comfortable following detailed feeding and medication instructions and maintaining established routines. I know that every pet is different, so I adjust my care to the individual animal rather than expecting them to immediately adapt to me. Some pets want constant attention and cuddles; others need a little more time and space before they feel comfortable. My goal is always to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home while their person is away. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals throughout my career, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including their usual feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines. I know many pets do best when their routine stays familiar, so I’m very flexible and will tailor their day to what they’re accustomed to at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks, and there are no children or resident pets in my home. This allows visiting pets to have a calm environment and plenty of individualized attention. I follow each owner’s instructions regarding leashes, harnesses, feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines. My veterinary experience also means I’m accustomed to monitoring animals closely for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, or comfort. I take introductions slowly and let pets settle in at their own pace. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs as pets, and I have a Labradoodle named Roux and a tabby cat named peaches. I know how important it is to take care of someone else’s pets because I would want them to do the same for me I currently work full-time as a teacher, but I take care of pets after work and on the weekends. I also make myself available for holidays If I were taking care of a pet in my home, they are free to roam the house and I also have a fenced in backyard and front yard. If I was taking care of a pet at someone else’s house, I would follow all of their instructions so that I can give the best care possible
About: I’ve worked many professional jobs that have allowed me the opportunity to work with cats and dogs from all ranges of breeds and ages. I have my own dog as well as 5 household cats! I love the joy pets bring into our lives and I enjoy caring for them. I’m flexible with most schedules and can incorporate them into my schedule. As long as I know of any changes ahead of time, I will always try my best to meet your needs. I respect others’ homes with the upmost regard and strictly follow instructions given i.e., “walk dog, ensure they have clean water, feed kibble” etc. Any specifics can be discussed and mutually agreed upon.
“Jayla has a very nice vibe about her. She followed my instructions and was always on time. I was out of the country for a week and I didn’t worry about my little kitty once. I plan to call on Jayla every time I’m away in the future. She’s EXCELLENT. I highly recommend her.”
“Lauren was a rockstar cat-sitter for me over the holidays! I have a rescue who gets distraught when left alone for too long - Lauren clearly gave Khali all the love and attention she needed while I was away for several days. She sent me photos from every check in and kept me totally in the loop throughout my travels!”
About: I’m very patient with all pets that are and aren’t mine. I treat all animals that are in my care with love and respect. Also, I make sure me and the animal are safe at all times. I have set schedule for my pets to make sure they eat, use the bathroom and play. When I go to work i have access to watch my pet through our living camera to make sure they are safe and happy. I have a set schedule with my fur babies. I make sure they eat and go potty at a certain time but also they have play time to run and burn energy in my big back yard
About: I've cared for dogs, cats and even small children (not the right app, I know) since I was a teen. I currently have two large dogs that love long walks. My late cat was diabetic, and I’m very familiar with medication administration via injection, oral, topical, etc. I work a full time job, but am available before 9am and after 6pm for early morning or later evening visits or walks on weekdays. Weekends are generally free! I am a responsible person who will appropriately care for pets while being respectful to the owner's home and property. This includes tiring a puppy out without breaking that expensive vase!
About: I have two rescue pups, ages 1 and 2. I’ve grown up with dogs all of my life, so I’m very familiar and comfortable with walks, meal routines, mental stimulation, and an exciting game of tug-of-war. I work full time so I’m happy to help on evenings usually and I’m usually in town on weekends. After 5pm and any time on the weekends. Of course the basics of walks, meal time, play time, and cuddles. But I also have two rescue pups at home who have gone through extensive training, so I am comfortable with maintaining their routine while you’re away.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Marlow Heights
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!
Abigail was so great! I had peace of mind knowing my kitty was getting plenty of love and treats while I was out of town. She sent lots of pictures with a quick update for each visit and was timely and communicative. Will definitely see if she’s available next time I need cat care!
Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏
Rachel did drop-in visits for our kitten for our weekend away. She took great care of our kitten while we were away, playing with her all over the house and a variety of toys, including remembering our kitten’s favorites. We did a meet and greet beforehand, and that was easy to schedule, and I could tell Rachel would be sweet with our pet. Her Rover cards were also great. We’d be happy to have her services again.

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.
