“Maria was fabulous and took such good care of my dog while away. She was reliable and gave updates throughout the weekend. I also scheduled 3 walks in addition to drop-in visits. I highly recommend Maria!”

“Meredith took care of my two kitties while I was away for work and did an excellent job! She made sure to play and hang with them, and also helped clean up several messes of one kitty in particular. She also made sure to troubleshoot my automatic feeder and made sure to give the boys extra food just in case, would recommend!”

“Rut was great with Milo. She responded on very short notice for a first-time visit and we are so grateful. He’s an older guy who is very stubborn and she was very patient with him. Will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Kara provided such great care and was very attentive to my German Shepherd while I was away for a weekend with scheduled drop-in visits and walks. She provided detailed notes and the cutest pictures. She was great and I highly recommend her!”

“Maria has been fantastic! From our very first meeting, she was incredibly responsive and professional. During every visit, she provided thorough updates that kept us at ease. Luxe, who usually sticks to the bed, actually spent his time waiting on the couch to greet Maria the moment she walked in. It was so heartening to hear how Luxe followed her around and how much they bonded on the couch together. We are so pleased with the care Maria provided!”

About: Since I can remember I was always a pet lover. I have experience walking varying breeds from small mixed breeds to husky’s, as well as cat sitting. Five years ago I got an Australian Shepard, she has been a ball of energy in my life. I have experience with energetic and anxious animals. I only walk one dog at a time, unless you book a walk for multiple dogs. Please message me any questions. ***AVAILABILITY*** *Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri 9am till late evening *Tues 9am-3pm *Weekends vary due to school and racing (please reach out for weekends) I'm currently a masters student taking classes Tuesday nights and Saturdays, so I have plenty of time to play & take care of your pets! I'm available for dog walks & drop ins Mon, Wed, Thurs, and Fri 9am-8pm, and Tues 9am-3pm, some weekend availability. My calendar is constantly being updated with my current availability. Safety is a top priority for me, I care for each of the pets like they're my own! I only walk one dog booking at a time, no pack walks. I will make sure to follow any guidelines and preferences, I only give treats which are approved and as directed. I promise a picture every time I am with your pet. For Dogs, I love to play with them and promise they will get much love, attention, and pets. For walks I can use a preferred route and tend to avoid dog parks for safety reasons. For Cats, I will adapt to what the cat prefers. If they need time to warm up to me, I will give them the time and space needed, I will gladly play with them, pet them, or if they just want to do their own cat-things I will supervise them.
“Ana Marie is a cat whisperer. By the second visit, my very shy cats stopped hiding. The third visit, she was bribing them with Churu. So glad to have met her”

“Isabelle truly goes the extra mile and I consider myself fortunate we found her (+ Matt & Duke). My dog Cooper’s stayed with her before, but this was the first time we did drop-in visits (short trip and Cooper’s a bit of a homebody)—it couldn’t have gone any better! Cooper is incredibly shy and anxious, and she did everything necessary to make him feel comfortable (including spending more time with him than she was scheduled to). She brought her own dog to join him on walks (knowing it helps) and spent time keeping him company. I genuinely trust Isabelle (and had no reservations about her going into my apartment alone) and know my dog is in good hands with her. I highly recommend her!”

“Jenna and Matthew have taken care of my 2 large rescue dogs twice now. They are dog reactive, so they have a unique bathroom routine right now, and can be “loud” with new guests, but Jenna and Matthew always shown patience to the girls. They show great attention to detail and are flexible to their needs. We will definitely rebook in the future!”

“Hayoung was wonderful with my cats, Mikko and Milo! She was always timely, communicative, and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. I really appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when I got home, and it was clear my cats were well cared for and comfortable. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”

“Taylor has been excellent taking care of my 8 week old puppy! He is extremely trustworthy and reliable, making sure to send pictures and updates each visit. Definitely plan on using him again and would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had a dog growing up and always loved being around animals. I have lots of experience with dogs sitting and walking and making sure your dog will have a great time. From young to old and small to big. Have a look at the pictures in my profile. Would love to meet your dog :) I’m new to the city and I have plenty of time to play with your pups. Very flexible schedule at the moment. Also available weekends and late at night if needed. I live in an apartment with close proximity to the MBT and two dog parks. I am an active person, there is lots of outdoor time guaranteed. Also happy to come over to your place to care for your dog :)
“Adrienne has checked in on our Cat Prim many times while we travel! She’s always incredibly responsive, professional and kind. Thank you, Adrienne for always taking such good care of Primmy and sending the best pictures! :)”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, especially cats, so I naturally understand their Needs and unique personalities. Even though I’ve never owned a dog of my own, I’ve cared for many dogs through friends and family — from puppies who need full attention to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I also have experience giving pets oral medication, so I’m comfortable following special routines. My goal is always to give each pet the same love, comfort, and attention I’d want for my own! I am currently a full-time student at Howard University so I have class everyday. With any free time I have on my hands not studying or in class, I’d love to help! Im happy to take your pets on walks, give them fresh food and water, and spend quality time with them so they feel cared for while you're away. Im gentle and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Building trust is very important to me, and treat one like my own! :)
“My first time using Emma and they were very communicative and super kind!! They gave so much love and pets to my Oakley cat!! Oakley loved them and I could tell was well taken cared of. The litter boxes and apartment were clean and tidy when I got back and the pictures they sent were adorable. I definitely will book with Emma again when I go out of town :)”

“Abigail took such great care of my two floofs in the afternoons. They loved her! She was available last minute multiple times, took them on great walks and wore them out just enough for a great afternoon nap. I got comfortable enough with her that I didn’t even worry anymore and was able to focus on my work. Very kind and reliable sitter!”


“Will did a great job watching Ez & Eve! He provided proactive updates with fun photos and descriptions and it was clear that our kittens enjoyed play time with Will. He was reliability, onetime, and updates showed he followed our pet-care instructions. We will trust Will for future drop in and vacations.”

“Thomas was wonderful! The photos he took for the Rover cards were adorable, and I could tell that my dog was having a blast with Thomas! I felt very reassured knowing that my pup was in his hands!”

“Lia was incredible - she took such great care of my two cats. She was responsive, thoughtful, and friendly. I felt completely comfortable leaving my cats as I knew they were in good hands!”

Mount Vernon Square pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah went above and beyond to make sure that my cats were alright and give us peace of mind when one of them passed some garbage. She rearranged her schedule to check in again same-day, ready for whatever she found. Fortunately, everyone was happy and healthy!! Thanks again Hannah!!

Reyhan was wonderful! She took excellent care of our two cats when we travelled for 10 days. At each check-in she not only took basic care of our cats but also played with them, shared adorable photos, and alerted us early about potential issues with their energy levels or food. They turned out to be just fine, but we appreciated knowing that they were being cared for by someone who was so attentive. We felt at ease when we were on our vacation. Thank you, Reyhan!
