“Deborah was absolutely wonderful when she house sat for us while we were out of town! Our Great Dane loved her and our house was in better shape than when we left! 10/10 recommend and will be using her again in the future!!”
“I can’t recommend Hannah enough as a pet sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her job seriously. She was incredibly attentive, responsible, and caring while watching over our pets. Hannah kept us updated daily with messages and photos, so we always felt at ease knowing our furry family members were in good hands. She followed all care instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond with a few extra touches, like bringing in packages. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a spotless house. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, kind, and thorough. We’ll absolutely be booking with Hannah again!”

“Hieu and Anna were lovely! I was very comfortable with them taking care of our large zoo overnight. They sent plenty of pictures, and even braved a snowstorm to make it to the house. I will absolutely be calling them again!!!”
“Lindsey was a great communicator, respectful of our home, and handled our fur babies well. She kept us informed of issues while we were away and was also responsive with any questions or concerns we had. We'd hire her again and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. Thank you Lindsey!”

“Melissa was absolutely exceptional with our two senior dogs and puppy — we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, she was remarkably polite and communicative, keeping us updated throughout with thoughtful messages and plenty of photos so we always felt connected to our pets. She took outstanding care of both our animals and our home, and we were genuinely touched to return to a house that was in even better shape than we’d left it. That kind of initiative and attention to detail is rare and truly appreciated. What stood out most was how she handled an unexpected situation when our puppy fell ill during the stay. Without hesitation, Melissa took her to the emergency vet and stayed by her side until we returned home. Her calm, compassionate response made all the difference — our puppy recovered quickly and is doing wonderfully. Melissa has earned our complete trust and will be our absolute first call every time we need a pet sitter. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own.”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming, and maintaining a consistent routine. I understand the importance of patience, clear communication, and providing a safe, structured environment! 😊 I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including younger puppies who may still be in training or that may have accidents. I am patient, attentive, and understand that consistency is key when working with younger dogs. I prioritize reliability, cleanliness, and carefully following all owner instructions to ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable!🐶🐾 I work full-time in the restaurant industry, so my weekday availability varies. I am generally available before 10:30 AM and after work hours, on mornings-only shifts, I typically get off by 4 PM, and on double shifts, availability may start later in the evening. Weekends I am fully available from morning until night, and occasionally I have spontaneous days off that I can dedicate to dog care. I always communicate my exact availability in advance. I provide attentive and loving care for pets in their own homes, including drop-in visits, daytime sitting, and walks. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and playtime routines. I make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and happy while keeping their environment clean and secure. On walks, I prioritize safety and exercise suited to each dog’s energy level. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I can accommodate your pets needs. My home is ideally suited for pets–a spacious, fully-fenced backyard for dogs to run around safely, I will maintain a calming presence with your dog. Walking/ running, fetch the ball are some outdoor activities to strengthen the bond with your dog. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a dog and have kept dogs for others. I take our dog out for walks and play-time with other dogs in the neighborhood . Diesel is very friendly, energetic and loving. My house has a large fenced yard. It’s not my practice to crate dogs. However, I can crate your dog if requested. I provide dog beds and allow dogs to move about freely. No one else will be assisting me with caring for your dog.
“Morgan was great with my fur babies. I received so many pictures and videos and felt connected to them even while I was miles away! I will definitely be asking Morgan to watch over my babies again and would highly recommend Morgan to anyone!”

“Grace did a fantastic and professional job house and dog sitting for us. She was able to help us with a last minute request and did so well with our dog. She had awesome communication with details and pictures. She was also extremely prompt with responses and kept beautiful care of the home. We initially thought our dog would be okay left alone, but when those needs changed Grace didn’t mind a bit. We will absolutely be using her again in the future and cannot recommend her enough.”

About: I’ve volunteered at my local Humane Society for three years consistently. I’ve had a dog for over 4 years and I’ve helped my best friend pet sit her 8 pets for the past 3 years. Im working to be a full time pet sitter at the moment. To me pet sitting doesn’t feel like work it feels as if Im home! I make sure to give each pets lots of attention. Even when Im looking away pets usually gravitate to me or follow me around .
“Amazing! Kai took such great care of my dog; gave him a ton of attention and took him out to meet his family which was very sweet. Rio seemed to have a blast with him, I will absolutely be using Kai again in the future. Thank you!”

About: I have tons of experience not only as a pet owner but as a veterinary assistant, I am pretty efficient in dealing with even the most troubling pups and even have training experience to curve some of the most common but unacceptable behaviors. Pet care is almost therapeutic for me and I’ll treat your baby just like my own , I come with tons of advice from healthcare , toys and training. Basically if I know something about something you’ll know too. I hope that we can work together in the future to make your and your pups life easier. I also have experience with small mammals, birds and reptiles so feel free to contact me about any of your pets I will gladly help.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds all my life. I currently have my own 2 year old labrador mix who I have raised since he was 5 weeks old. I absolutely adore pets and know how important they are to owners and all pet parents. I am currently home for the summer and am studying for my license exam to become a licensed mental health professional. I am very flexible and open in terms of availability. I have a fenced backyard and my own socialized and friendly dog of my own. Also have a basement, if privacy concerns arise. Thank you.
About: Taken care of animals for over 10 years, held snakes, rode horses, pet tarantulas, I've been able to identify when dogs need to be left alone and when they were in danger or Ill could identify my dog had kidney stones, deeply care for animals and can walk, play, and be their best friend lol No job currently unemployed and I love animals so I'm chilling at the home right now for this year until I get married period and then I'll stay home even longer! I am able to really do anything you ask of me all I ask is that you let me care for your pets more than once! I will offer really lots of bonuses because I care
About: I have over 15 years of dedicated pet care experience, I've consistently provided loving and responsible care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. My background includes daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, and ensuring a comfortable environment for furry friends. My passion for animals shines through in my attentive care, regular updates, and commitment to maintaining open communication with pet parents. I somewhat recently lost my last furry family member to lymphoma. I’ve yet to get another one as it is difficult losing our furry family member. I would take them out first thing in the mornings, if they didn’t wake us up earlier to go outside. Then give them their breakfast and play/cuddle with them.
“Angela did a wonderful job watching Peppa!! I felt really comfortable knowing that she was home with her while I was out of the country. On the day I was set to leave, Peppa woke up with an upset stomach and diarrhea. I was nervous to leave her, but Angela was well equipped with prior experience in a situation like this. She made sure Peppa felt comfortable and took her out as much as she needed. Very happy to say that Peppa had no accidents in the house and her diarrhea spell was over very quickly. Would definitely recommend Angela to anyone needing someone caring to watch their pets! :)”

“Draven did a fantastic job dog sitting and house sitting for us over a 10 day vacation! Our pup Val took to her right away and was happy as can be upon return. She managed Val’s medications daily, provided updates for us and left our home in better condition than we left it. I highly recommend her for your next pet care need!”

Potomac Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle did an amazing job taking care of my pups. She kept me updated frequently with messages and photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly accommodating and flexible—even after I had to change the dates twice, she was still able to make everything work. On top of that, she was so thoughtful and even gave toys to my kids, which meant a lot to us. She’s truly an amazing sitter, and I highly recommend her!
