“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! Super communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was proactive about making sure our dog was as comfortable as possible during her stay. It was clear that she is knowledgable and experienced in caring for all kinds of dogs.”

About: I've been a dog owner for 12 years, and a dog and pet lover my whole life! I have had to send my two dogs to heaven in the last two years, and I miss having dogs in my life, but I'm not quite ready to adopt again. But I'd love to help owners with their pets, and shower them with affection and walks and dog park visits while they are in my care. Dogs are allowed on the bed and furniture in my home, of course! I telework 3 days per week, and when I am not teleworking I work short days, and am home most evenings as well. I am also available to sit in your home as well! While I don't have a yard, I live in Del Ray with many parks, trails, and dog friends to spend time with. I'm very active and love to hike and walk.
“Kelly was so wonderful with dog sitting Jayke. She was patient, kind, and chill which is what I needed for my anxious lil shih tzu. She sent pictures without me even having to ask and was very nice and professional. I will definitely book again. Thank you so much!”

“Nina is so great with my dog Barza! I have booked with her before and Barza always comes home a happy pup! Nina send pictures and updates daily and is super accommodating. Will definitely book again!!”

“As always Melanie and Greg (and their two adorable kids) did a fantastic job caring for our pups. They’re so attentive, loving, and genuinely love dogs! They sent great pictures and our pups were exhausted when they got home! Absolutely will use them again.”

“This was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter, and Christine made it easy. She genuinely loves dogs and made our dog feel right at home. We know our dog got lots of attention and play time. Christine sent us pictures and videos, which we appreciated. Overall a great experience and we would happily use Christine again.”

“Jennifer and Louis were very friendly and accommodating for me and my pup first overnight stay I was very nervous in the beginning due to it being my dog first overnight stay. I a new to the app and was looking for a playful friendly dog that my dog can stay and play with occasionally. We have found one thank you Jennifer and Louis for your hospitality pictures and videos everything went great!”

“Our dog stayed with Donna for nine days and she was fantastic! He warmed to her quickly and she was very loving with him. She also sent daily updates with photos, which we really appreciated as we were abroad and missed our dog very much. We would definitely use Donna again!”

“Francise was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ollie! She took him on lovely walks around town, helped him meet new people, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about his happiness and well-being. I came home to a very content pup! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Catherine & Nikhit took excellent care of Buckley, and I felt completely at ease during my two-week vacation. I received tons of photo and video updates, and it was clear that Buckley was having the best time ever. He looked happy, comfortable, and totally spoiled with attention. I loved every update and could tell he was being treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with Catherine & Nikhit again in the future!”

“Anna took amazing care of our senior pup! We are so thankful to find someone who genuinely cares for pets and she treated ours as if she were her own. Anna also was a great communicator and we absolutely trust her to take care of our pup again!”

“Megan is an absolute dream of a dog caretaker. She is an honest & trustworthy person, is good with dogs and you can tell she genuinely adores them. She was helpful to give Bubba (our dog) his ear medication while we were away and each day updated us with their activities. I had no concerns during his stay— in fact— I think he had the time of his life 😁”

“Pat was an amazing sitter! She’s very communicative and thorough with her care; I felt that she genuinely inquired to know the little habits, routine, and quirks about my pup so that she can provide the best care. Her pup Mojo is also an angel. Pat, Mojo, and my pup got along so well from the moment we met and I’m so thankful to have found her.”

“Jodee and AJ took amazing care of my shy pup while I was away for a few days. They have a great indoor and outdoor space and spent time with us during a meet and great to make sure all would go smoothly. Sent daily videos and pics to keep me reassured he was doing well. Would 100% recommend!”


“I’ve sent my dog Rory to stay with Michelle and her family several times now, and she does such a good job that I think he likes her place better than mine! See you next time, Michelle (and baby, cats, and pup!)”

“10/10. I’m pretty protective of my dog and Katie took such good care of him! Lots of videos and pictures which made me feel so much better. And he likes Katie a lot so I pretty much found our permanent babysitter 😂💓”


“Fern & Sherlock love their stays at Nicole’s home! My fiance and I know that they are having lots of fun and are well taken care of while we are away. We also love all the photos and videos Nicole sends us!”

Potomac West dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shannon was excellent with our high-energy dog, Tito! Her experience with dogs was obvious from the start, and it really showed in the way she cared for and handled him. She was attentive, communicative, and provided great updates throughout. We felt completely at ease knowing Tito was in such good hands. Highly recommend! 10/10

Fnu and Eric have consistently been so great with our dog! They’ve watched him for anywhere from 1 night to 2 weeks, and he always comes home happy and healthy. Fnu and Eric are great communicators and easy to work with; we never stress when we leave Rock with them. Thank you guys for being the best home for Rock while we’re away!

Alissa and her husband were wonderful! Sadie had such a great time and came home happy and tired. Alissa sent multiple updates and adorable photos throughout the day giving me peace of mind that Sadie was in great care. They easily catered to Sadie’s needs and reactivity. Highly recommend!
