“A+ thank you so much! My dog had a great time and Lee was awesome! She sent me a picture of my girl as well as fed and walked her. She was also super accommodating when my plans got delayed and I had to arrive late. Thanks again!!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life. For those with younger pups, my fenced in backyard is ideal for your dog to run around and play safely! I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback myself, who is vocal but welcoming to all dogs :) We live right above the Potomac River parks, so for those of you with more energetic dogs, I can certainly accommodate as well! I have dog training experience through Old Towne School for Dogs and am knowledgeable on pet medicine administration too! Whatever it is that best suits your pups play style and energy level, I can certainly care for your pup the way they deserve! Your dog will be well cared for and come home happy and tired. I work from home during the week and have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet's needs including during the weekends. I'm free for frequent potty breaks, walks in the woods and trips to the dog park as needed. My dog can keep yours company but mostly she'll keep to herself. My dog is older - I'm experienced with young pups as well as aging friends. I am very active and would love to have your baby tag along if that's something you'd like. And, not shortage of cuddles here either. I would love to care for your pet if you're out overnight or are traveling. I work from home and have flexibility during the day for walks, outings and a good game of fetch. Weekends work well for me to care for your pup. I'm available both overnight and during the day. I have a fenced-in back yard (6' fence) and live on a beautiful Arlington Nature Park with plenty of trails to explore. I have a large home that is easily traversable for older dogs and young dogs alike. Bathroom outings can be as frequent as needed with the backyard accessible, and walks through the neighborhood and park will always be leashed. I will provide updates, photos, and videos as frequently as you would like and am happy to support your time away from your furry friend however best suits you!

About: I’ve taken care of different kind of doggy.i used to worked at a dog daycare center and now i have my own business staying home a lot so i choose to see if I make use of of experience to take care of pups while at home I wake up around 8 at the morning and I will take them for a walk and then they will have their breakfast. After lunch I will take him for a small walk and later on hangout at around 4pm. they will have dinner at around 6 pm and then have a night walk at around 8-9pm I live at a apartment but downstairs have a big dog park. And I mostly WFH, so I will probably spend 99.9%with them, they will have my in their sight.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my dogs! She took excellent care of them and gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and little notes, which really reassured me that my pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly caring with animals.”

“Amal and Pepper know how to make other peoples’ dogs feel welcomed and cared for. This is the second time I have left my dog with Amal, and it’s been another great experience. Definitely recommend to other owners in the area.”


“Guy was great with my Maltese she really enjoyed spending time with him and his dog Casey and the other dogs there. He has helped her significantly with her anxiety after the loss of her sister”

“Squid had a great day with Cho! Cho was very responsive and proactively communicated with us throughout daycare. We would leave Squid in Cho’s capable hands anytime!”

“My doggie had a wonderful time with Asma and her pooch Mica! She was super considerate of his idiosyncrasies, and planned out a wonderful, well balanced, day care day for him.”

“Alexis and Katie were amazing to Louie (my dog). Louie was tired yet very happy when returning home, and I know it was as a result of playing a ton. Alexis was very communicative and shared plenty of great pictures that made me feel very comfortable. We will be booking again in the future, and I truly recommend them if you are looking for a great dog sitter”

“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”

About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.
Rivercrest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Grette has taken care of our puppy for the past two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s kind, reliable, and our puppy comes home happy and tired every time. Great communication, flexible scheduling, and amazing help with puppy training- plus the sweetest attention to details like daily brushing. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Elaine was super attentive to and caring with our 7 month old pup. He came home very happy and relaxedl having had a fun day of play and outdoor time in her yard. She was also very responsive with organizing drop off and pick and even went and bought food for him when I forgot to add some for the day. Amazing! I am very grateful for her caring for him so well for the day.

We had such a great experience! Ahiesha took wonderful care of Whiskey for three days, and it really showed. Whiskey came home happy and relaxed every day, and we loved getting updates and photos—it was clear Whiskey felt comfortable and well cared for. Ahiesha also has two puppies of her own who are absolute cuties and very playful, and Whiskey clearly enjoyed spending time with them. Ahiesha was reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving with him. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!!

Alexis was a lifesaver for us and took great care of Charlie on short notice. He was communicative, attentive, and sent updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Charlie was clearly comfortable and well cared for. We’d absolutely trust Katie and Alexis with him again and highly recommend him.

Tali had the best day with Anya and her dog Scout! Tali was instantly so comfortable with the both of them. Anya kept me updated during the day and was very responsive and flexible. I got lots of pics and videos from her day. I felt completely at ease leaving my pup with her!

Leila was amazing!! She took wonderful care of my dog Mila, sent updates and photos, and made the whole process stress-free. My dog came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Kelly was responsive, kind, and walked/fed my dog as requested. Though, I want to bring up a note for other dog owners. The area is very urban with mostly concrete and little grass so my dog wouldn't relieve herself until we found grass after pickup, even though Kelly tried her best by walking my dog multiple times. If your dog is skittish, needs grass to go, or isn't comfortable with busy urban environments, this location may be challenging for them.
