“We’re so grateful to have found Nicole; our dogs genuinely love her. Everyone will miss her as we relocate, and we’d highly recommend her to anyone who asked”
“Zhanna made our time away relaxing because we had absolutely nothing to worry about when she watched our two golden doodles. She consistently sent pictures and kept us updated on how they were doing. She is very responsible, responsive and kind. Our dogs were looking for her in our guest room the day we came back which is a testament to her love for animals. I would, and will, use Zhanna again to doggy sit while away. I would highly reccomend her to anyone without concern.”
“Brianna did a fantastic job of sitting with my crazy pups! One of them can be fear aggressive (bluffs a lot) and Brianna was great with her. So great I got a picture of them cuddling on the sofa the first day! The other pup is super people shy and warmed to Brianna immediately. When she didn't want to eat (which I warned about), Brianna reached out immediately for ideas on how to get her to eat. She didn't wait! I really appreciated that. I gave her a couple of suggestions and she got her to eat! Brianna is fearless and conscientious. She clearly loves pet sitting. I highly recommend her!”
“Kyle was awesome – he took great care of our dog Maya and gave plenty of updates. He also dealt with some unexpected issues with our home, and even helped coordinate building maintenance to start on repairs. We'll absolutely use Kyle as a sitter again.”
“Nikole is absolutely amazing! My dogs adore her and I think it’s safe to say she loves my dogs. She was dog sitting for us for 12 days while we were out of town and she always kept us updated and sent us photos of our boys! I would definitely recommend Nikole and will be using her again in the future!”
“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”
“Orianne is the best! She is so sweet, caring, calm. Madeline was comforted while we were out, which means the world to us. Madeline was happy to see us, and we could tell she was relaxed. Orianne will be our first call should we need a pet sitter again!”
About: After a lifetime of caring about & for animals, I firmly believe that the key to a happy pet is a consistent schedule of playing, feeding, resting, relieving; repeat! I can accommodate morning, midday and/or early evening visits. But i can only do two visits per day. I can also do overnights. I would leave after the morning walk/care (and I would of course return for any other daytime walks/visits), but i would not hang out all day. In your home? whatever you say! When i arrive, I always give your pet a chance to see/smell me before i move away from the door into the home. Also - I am OCD about locking up, so no worries there!
“Anna watched Cora for the first time this past weekend and everything went extremely well! She was super communicative and responsive, followed our instructions perfectly, and we came home to a happy pup and our house just the way we left it. You can tell that Anna is highly conscientious and treats your dog like her own. Thank you, Anna!”
“With Wayne, both my pooch and my home were in excellent hands while I was away for several nights. I also appreciated his responsiveness to my texts and the daily updates and photos every morning. A stress-free experience that I look forward to repeating on my next trip!”
“Elsbeth was fantastic. She was professional, yet caring, quick to respond, sent photos and updates and was attentive with any changes in my pups. I was at ease during my trip which we all know can make or break our time away. I highly recommend her to care for your furry loved ones and I will certainly book her again! I'm already planning my next trip.”
“Clair was awesome and kept me informed each time she took my dog out. I never had to worry about my dog while I was away. Clair sent multiple photos a day to let me know everything was ok. Highly recommend Clair!”
“Kathryn is amazing, terrific, wonderful. My dogs adore her - fight for her attention every time I see her. She has fantastic communication and follow through. I feel so fortunate to have her taking care of my babies.”
“Cassandra was amazing! It was our first time having Cassandra watch our dog and cat and they obviously loved her. We got lots of photos and great updates. Our 10 day vacation turned into a hospital stay and Cassandra seemlessly made sure our babies were taken care of as long as we needed. She checked in on us and even arranged for her adult daughter to stay the night while she had another booking, so that the animals wouldn't have to be home alone at night. I cant thank Cassandra enough for everything. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit again in the future!”
“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!”
“Jessica and Ernie ? were SO GREAT for our boys and great to our home. We got pictures and lots of updates. She left the house spotless and went above and beyond to keep everything in our boys' world as business as usual as possible while we were away. We know when we take a longer trip they'll be in great hands! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Shannon was amazing with my dog Cash while I was away for a few days! Shannon provided daily pictures and videos, as well as updates as to how he was doing. I was very impressed with how detailed she was in her updates, and I didn’t worry at all about him while I was away! I highly recommend Shannon!”
Potomac West pet parents share their Rover experiences
Savonna was so incredible! Her care for Canela was unmatched - she followed my instructions, asked questions on anything I was unclear about, and gave her so much love while I was gone. She took her for long walks, cuddled with her, and gave me great updates every morning and evening. She also took great care of the house. I came back to a happy dog and a clean home. I cannot recommend her enough! She’ll be my go-to for any house sitting from now on out.
Wonderful would highly recommend. She was very communicative and fast to respond. Got many photo updates. My dog got stress diarrhea while we were gone so I ordered some more meds and she was quick to start them and send updates on how my dog was doing! We have cameras in our house and we’re happy to see our dog go out multiple times in day. Would highly recommend her.
Anna watched Cora for the first time this past weekend and everything went extremely well! She was super communicative and responsive, followed our instructions perfectly, and we came home to a happy pup and our house just the way we left it. You can tell that Anna is highly conscientious and treats your dog like her own. Thank you, Anna!
Jena is the best! She provided my pets with top quality care while my husband and I were out of the country for over a week. She provided daily updates (with photos/videos) and kept me apprised of all issues/concerns, always making sure to communicate whether or not these matters required my attention. Her approach to care allowed me to take full advantage of my time away, which I thank her tremendously for. We will definitely be using Jena again in the future. 😊
Michaela was fantastic. This was our second time she has watched our medium-sized, high energy, slightly spoiled, girl. In addition to the routine sitting, which went well, our flight got canceled and she was able to stay with Birdie for a whole extra 24 hours, which was an absolute lifesaver.
Tom is the kindest, most conscientious sitter we’ve ever had for our 14-year-old Labradoodle, Poppy. And he’s an excellent communicator who’s very generous with sharing photos, many of and he’s an excellent communicator who’s takes & shares photos generously. Some of his pictures of our sweet girl are even better than some of the favorites we’ve taken ourselves.This really cheered us up while we were away. Not only did he give Poppy exceptional TLC, but he also left the house in great shape and made our homecoming stress-free. We’re grateful to Tom and we’ll definitely have him back the next time we’re looking for a trustworthy, reliable, fun (!) companion for our sweet girl.
