“Elizabeth did a wonderful caring for my cats while I was away! She sent photos of them and let me know their antics (rearranging my carpets with their zoomies). Very easy to work with”

“Heather was great! I booked her for 30 min visits with our 2 cats while we were away for 8 days. The cats are VERY shy and hesitant with strangers- even relatives who have visited multiple times rarely get to see them. Other Rover sitters that I booked for 30 min just saw the cats hiding under the couch as always and left after 10 min. Heather always stayed the FULL TIME and toward the end of the booking she even captured photos of the cats out from under the couch and even approaching her hand :D The apartment was also left clean, the box scooped, and the food bowl full. Thanks Heather!”

“We had an excellent experience with Andrew caring for our two cats. He provided thoughtful updates, followed all instructions perfectly, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our cats were happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after. We’re so grateful for his care and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable sitter.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds & sizes over the years. I am comfortable with puppies through senior age. Friends, family and clients have relied on me to feed, walk, play with, clean up after, and love their pups as if they were my own. I can administer medications, including injections, and sq fluids. I can practice obedience skills during my visits as well. I’m available for pet care visits on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings as well as evenings and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am also available on major holidays. Mondays and Tuesdays are on a case-by-case basis. I am very safety conscious and will care for your pets as carefully as I would my own. I will follow whatever your normal household routine is so that your pets feel safe and comfortable. They thrive with routines! If they use a crate, need treats after potty breaks, want belly rubs after a meal, etc., I am there for it all!
“We were gone for a month. We couldn't have done this without knowing how loving Laura is with our cats, and how much they love her in return. She is an absolute treasure!”

“Sarah was awesome! So sweet to our cat, gave her all the attention she wanted (she gets super lonely when the family is away) and sent us great detailed updates everyday ☺️☺️”

“Sarah did an amazing job with Oreo during the 30-minute visit. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure Oreo was well taken care of the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and photos as it gave me peace of mind while I was away. Oreo seemed happy and comfortable, which says a lot. I’d definitely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: I’ve spent my 24 years of life surrounded by dogs and cats as I grew up with a mother who worked in animal rescue. I’ve been around all temperaments and know how to handle the easygoing and the most reactive. I also have experience with puppies and plenty of experience with senior pets as most of my own dogs are seniors. I currently live with my 3 cats and 1 chinchilla! I currently work full time however besides those 8 hours a day I am free to care for and look after your pets! I’m available everyday of the week including weekends and am committed to prioritizing your pets. When it comes to caring for pets, safety is always my top priority. In your home, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. I’m vigilant about locking doors, securing gates, and following any specific safety instructions you provide. I also monitor your pet’s behavior to ensure they’re healthy and comfortable. During drop-ins, I check on your pet, refill water and food as needed, and give them attention and playtime. I make sure doors and windows are locked when I leave and always follow any safety guidelines specific to your home, such as alarm codes or gate instructions.
“Beth you are phenomenal! you made this so easy and made me have 0 anxiety on my vacation cause I knew my precious cat was in good hands! Can’t wait to continue to use your services thank you so much again!”

About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting in owner's homes for over ten years but I've been a pet lover my whole life! There has never been a dog or cat that I've met that I didn't absolutely love! My relationship with a pet and their owner is extremely important to me and I take care of every dog and cat as if they were my own! I have accommodated a wide variety of demands from owners, and not one of them have been unhappy with my service. Before I care for your pet I would like to meet with you (the owner) and your pet to go over your pet’s daily routine and any concerns you may have. My goal is for everyone to be happy and leave with their tails wagging! I’m currently working part time as a business owner so I am able to come walk, sit stay or play with your puppers any time of day! I understand that maintaining a consistent schedule is very important for pets and sticking to that schedule is top priority for me. I prefer to care for pets in their own environment where they are the most comfortable and at home! I am currently unable to host pets in my space.
“Ellie did a great job with our dog Piggy! She was able to accept the booking last minute, showed up as scheduled and sent us photos and updates that showed us how happy Piggy was with her care. We would definitely book her again! Thanks Ellie!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Jamie took really good care of our cat. She sent us pictures and updates on every visit. Our cat looked more and more comfortable around her every day. 10/10 recommended.”

“Carolyn kept in communication through texts and photos of my three cats while I was away. My cats all seemed relaxed when I arrived back home. Also, Carolyn was very flexible and was able to watch my cats a few extra days when I extended my trip unexpectedly. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I have had dogs throughout my entire life and currently I have one chocolate lab named Rosco. I will treat and care for your dog like a member of the family! I work odd hours during the week but have a very flexible schedule! Mainly available on the weekends but feel free to message me during the week! I treat my dog as a member of the family as I would yours as well. As it’s just myself and him, he is quite the spoiled dog who gets several walks per day, gets to relax while I work and gets home cooked meals.
About: Hi! I’m Liz — an animal lover with a flexible hybrid work schedule and years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs. I’ve also fostered before, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can count on. I take that trust seriously and always aim to make things stress-free while you’re away — with regular updates, photos, and plenty of care and attention. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Your pup will be in great hands with me. I currently work a hybrid schedule. I work in the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and I’m home the rest of the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat it with the same care and respect as my own. I stick to your pet’s normal routine — walks, meals, and downtime — to keep them comfortable and relaxed. I make sure doors and gates are secure, follow all instructions closely, and leave your home just as I found it. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet’s doing while you’re away.
About: I have spent my entire life loving dogs and can never get enough, I don’t remember a day growing up that we didn’t have a dog! I am a retired paramedic/firefighter that stumbled upon owning the most amazing dog walking/sitting business ever in the heart of DuPont Circle for 10 years and I would love to share more about that with you if we connect! I was constantly told I have a gift with animals and was known around town as the dog whisperer! In 2021 we, my husband of almost thirty years, moved into our dream home on the water in Annapolis where I have been dog walking/sitting through word of mouth from neighbors and friends. I am available Monday through Friday’s for walks with short notice as little as an hour! I am a 4 minute drive to dog parks if that is what your doggo prefers! We do not have a fenced yard but rest assure your doggo will get PLENTY of exercise while staying with us. My husband and I are highly energetic and love to take long walks. My husband also works from home so plenty of company throughout the day!

About: I get a lot of pleasure assisting busy professionals with their pet sitting needs. I provide a nurturing and loving environment for your special pets in a very tranquil setting. Your pets will be treated as if they were my own. My husband and I will treat your pet with the utmost care and attention. References available upon request.
Oakwood cat parents share their Rover experiences
I have probably said this before, but I always have such great peace of mind when Kylie looks after Guillermo. I am typically gone for a few days at a time — this time around I was gone for much longer but I felt at ease knowing he’d be in great hands. As always Kylie was communicative, caring and adaptive to the changes in Guillermo’s feeding routine. I can’t thank her enough for being so great with him!!
