“Waylon took such good care of my Dutch Shepherd while I was out of town. He is fast to respond to messages and was able to accommodate requests on short notice. He also took great care of my home and even vacuumed prior to my return. I will definitely be requesting Waylon again.”
“Mariah stayed at our home with our 4 dogs for 4 days and nights. She is fantastic with our dogs. They all love her and received great care. Mariah sent photos and videos and let us know how they were doing daily. This was our first time using ROVER and we will be using Mariah and ROVER in the future.”
“Cosimo our 4 pound totally grumpy old Yorkshire terrier loved his time with Katherine. She was just a perfect fit for us. She was kind to send us pictures of him while we went out. Made the whole experience completely comfortable and less stressful for me. Left our home in ship shape condition.”
“Robin was great!! My pup loved her and she was not at all intimidated by his high energy and ill-mannered behavior. She communicated with us before and during the stay, and sent pictures. Sherlock was entertained and she even was able to get my very picky eater to finish his dinner. I highly recommend her.”
“Great communication and experience with Chloe - did an amazing job during an overnight sitting so that we could enjoy a rare “date night” over in Seattle. Nice updates and photos during our absence. Will use again!”
“Cassie did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 labs and 1 cat while we were away on vacation and made sure the house stayed in good working order! Her schedule was flexable enough to house sit Thursday through Sunday which allowed us to travel out of state and the primary reason we went with her. She stayed in constant communication and was swift with her reply! She gave us peace of mind knowing our pets where being well taken care for which allowed us to enjoy our vacation!”
“We were so lucky to find Leah. Exceptionally trust worthy and gave my Leo the best love and care! Frenchie’s need special care and anxiety support when we travel and Leo was so chilled when we returned!”
“I'm so happy to have met and worked with Penny! She came over before her first house-sitting gig for a meet-and-greet and everyone loved her calm, easy-going, and trusting nature. Penny's professional approach and great communication skills were something I really appreciated. I strongly recommend her!”
“Allison is amazing! She is so attentive to our dog’s energy and quirks and is so thoughtful about caring for her. She pays a lot of attention to our instructions and makes sure our girl is happy and comfy the whole time. She is extremely communicative and sends a lot of photos and updates. She also takes great care of the space. Absolutely would feel great having her take care of our pup any time!”
“Susan is a marvel. She’s a consummate professional that just loves what she does and the dogs love her back (and so do we). Thanks for taking care of our girls as your own.”
About: My name is Kat, and with my husband, Sean, we have 20 years of experience pet sitting. We do boarding, check-ins, walking, and more! We would love to take care of your pets! We have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all ages. We work remotely Monday-Friday with flexibility, so there will always be someone in our home or yours! Whatever your pets need we will accommodate for them. We are very detailed and attentive when it comes to taking care of your animals. We always make sure they are comfortable, fed, hydrated, and having fun!
“Michael clearly loves dogs and he made sure our dogs were entertained and cared for. He even cleaned up before he left which was very helpful since we didn’t want to come back and clean after a long trip.”
“Sarah was absolutely incredible! She made sure our kitten Marleau was well taken care of and showered in love. She was super responsive and sent tons of pics and videos, which was amazing since this was our first time leaving our little man for more than a few days. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing Marleau was in great hands. I would highly recommend Sarah for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“My fiancé and I couldn’t be happier with Anna and the care she took of our sweet girl (A 4 year old pit bull). We knew when we adopted our dog, that she loved people but didn’t do well in a shelter environment or around other dogs. This has made leaving town a challenge due to limited options as we couldn’t board her or drop her at my parents’ house with our family dogs, as her well-being comes first. When I found Anna’s profile, she seemed too good to be true but she is real! She is the reason I signed up for Rover. She took excellent care of our girl and our home for 5 days while we were on vacation. It made such a difference knowing our dog could be comfortable and cared for in her own home with someone who is great with dogs. Our pup has some anxiety and quirks so we wanted someone caring and experienced — Anna is that person. Thank you, Anna. We all three hope to see you again soon.”
“Annette is amazing!! She watched our dogs in our home while we were away for a week - Great communication, photos of the pups, and helped with things around the house. Her schedule allowed her to be home almost all the time with them, which they appreciated .She clearly cares for the animals under her watch and we can't wait to have her come again!”
“Mary Elizabeth was amazing with our babies! She sent pictures, communicated well & kept us updated, and took such great care of our animals! We’re so thankful to have had them in such great hands!! Thank you!!”
“James was AMAZING with my super anxious dog!!! She was so well taken care of while I was away, it was her first time being away from us and James did such a great job taking care of her! Gave us so much peace of mind. So glad we’re able to find someone who can help and be so patient with our pup!”
Navy Yard City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Michael watched our young puppy in our home for a few days and was wonderful! He was very communicative, extremely flexible, and was responsive to our active pup’s needs. She’s easily excitable (especially with new people and playtime) and he clearly had previous puppy experience and knew exactly what to do. I would book Michael again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and experienced pet sitter.
Katherine and Brian are a gem! They took such great care of our dogs. One of our dogs is very timid, but Katherine and Brian were able to gain her trust very quickly. We are so grateful to have found them to take care of our doggos when we are away. They also left our place immaculate and even prepared a delicious meal for us. Thank you so much!
James was AMAZING with my super anxious dog!!! She was so well taken care of while I was away, it was her first time being away from us and James did such a great job taking care of her! Gave us so much peace of mind. So glad we’re able to find someone who can help and be so patient with our pup!
Karina stayed in home with our two dogs & reptiles for a week. She sent updates and cute photos of each pet. Super great at communication and treated our pets as her own. So happy we could trust our home and fur (plus scaley) pet babies with her without worry.
Mariah was fantastic with our pups. One of them is nervous around new people and has a new best friend. She communicated with us regularly, helped fix a fence and keep in our escape artist and went above and beyond with our pups. The house was perfect when we got back home. We'd have her back any time!
Penny was wonderful and watched our, my sister's, and my parent's dogs all day the day of my wedding! She was truly a life-saver and came over even though she wasn't feeling well that morning because she didn't want to leave us high and dry on that day. Definitely book with her!!
Lani took excellent care of my high energy Lab while I was out of town for the weekend. This was my dog’s first time with a sitter, and I was very nervous because my dog is highly active, needy, sometimes anxious, very bonded to me, and used to me being with me all the time. Lani was able to meet all of her needs and make her feel comfortable while I was away. She is punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and sent regular updates and photos. I’m so thankful!
Annette was such a wonderful sitter for our two cats, Grace and Frankie. They are just under one year-old and we have not left them for vacations very often. She came to stay at our house and was very communicative and sent a lot of pictures. She even let my wife FaceTime the cats one night without judgment lol. Would definitely recommend her.
Waylon was amazing! He took care of our two beagles and home for about two weeks while we were on vacation, and I can’t recommend him enough. He was communicative, responsive, sent photos of the boys, and took excellent care of our home. We can’t wait to rebook with him. Oh, and he administered medication to our epileptic dog and took the boys on daily walks. Such a greater sitter- I think the boys miss him! Thank you, Waylon!
Sarah did a 10/10 j9b taking care of our two dogs and cat. She treated them like family and her communication, animal love, and attention to taking care of our home was top notch. Will be using hiring her whenever we can. She has our complete trust. THANK YOU SARAH! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Valerie is hands down someone who will care for your pets like they’re her own. She went above and beyond our expectations while watching our dog Fern and our cats for five days while we were out of state. After some less-than-great experiences in the past, I can confidently say those days are over. Valerie gave us total peace of mind — we came home to happy, well-cared-for animals and a house that felt just right. We will absolutely be booking her again.
