About: I’ve had two wonderful dogs since they were 10 weeks old. We’ve completed dog training classes together and I’ve learned all about pet care through them. Im currently working from home and never travel because I have a toddler son and 2 dogs, so im often available on weekends for pet care and during the week for walks I have two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and a large house for plenty of play space. I’m also experienced with picky eating dogs.
“Gabrielle was very responsive and they were accommodating of my wanting an initial meet/greet introduction. They let me know when they arrived and again when wrapped up the walk; gGreat service. Thank you!”
“Carla was on time and sent me pictures of the walk she took with my dog. I appreciate her help and she has been flexible with my confusing schedule. Would recommend and plan to use her services again in the future.”
About: I have a lot of experience with animals of different sizes breeds and genders so I know the pros and cons and I am prepared to take on a challenge. I am currently, unemployed, so I have all the free in the world to watch and care for your fur baby so don’t be afraid to book me whenever you need I live in a condo with a very open field and multiple dog walking spots and there’s a lot of other friendly dogs your dogs can bond with

“Iris was excellent and took great care of Nugget, On short notice in a heat wave at that- grateful! Clear communication and great service. Would recommend and hope to work with again in the future.”
“Trinity has been an excellent daytime walker for my dog. She’s reliable and communicative, but most importantly she takes great care of my pup. I definitely would recommend her to anyone interested.”
About: My experience comes from caring for my own pets and giving them consistent, loving care. I’ve had a cat since I was around 12–13 and have been responsible for feeding, cleaning, playing with, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I’ve also had a dog and have lived in homes with dogs, so I’m comfortable around both cats and dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have pets of my own as of now, but I am always free to show animals the love and care needed. I'm available for pet care and happy to help!! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets. I follow each pet's routine , keep them supervised, and make sure they have food, water, attention, and a comfortable space.
“Sam is completely reliable. He wrote informative and lengthy descriptions of each walk. He also clearly cared a lot about our dog’s happiness. We have used Sam before and would use him again.”
About: I love pets! I have experience house/dog sitting for clients that have taken vacations of up to 15 days. While house sitting, I can also bring in mail and water plants. In the past, I have been able to watch up to 2 dogs at a time. I love the exercise that comes from walking dogs, and I welcome dogs that have both high and low energy levels. When given specific instructions about caring for someone's dog, I always follow them, never letting my previous experience and "what I usually do" come before meeting the expectations of my clients. I have lived with at least one dog as a pet for 18 years of my life. Let me take care of your dog and be an extension of your love towards them when you cannot be there. I have graduate school classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but I am free for pet care outside of those hours. I am flexible to work around your schedule. I’ve house sat and taken care of cats and dogs while I’ve lived in the house. I’ve also stopped by houses periodically to walk dogs and feed them. I’m open to both methods.

About: Hi! I'm Coralie, you can call me Coral! I'm a high-energy, fun-loving women's health advocate, yoga teacher, and most importantly, a pet sitter to furry friends across the DC metro area and beyond. As a cat mom of two purrfect girls, lifelong cat owner and rover pet sitter for 3+ years - I understand pets are our family, which is why I love to connect with pet parents prior to offering support to learn more about your pet's needs. When booking with me I can guarantee lots of photos, updates and personalized attention to your pets as desired, whether cuddles, play, or both! ** Additional notes: I am experienced with dogs and cats of all temperaments, breeds, ages, and medical conditions. I can administer oral medication. I particularly enjoy working with households that have multiple cats. For dogs, I am happy to care for small to large sizes. I am not able to accept giant breeds at this time. At this time, I am happy to offer flexible scheduling options for new and returning pet parents for all of my services: house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits. I have availability 6–7 days a week, from early morning to late evening! **Meet and Greets: For safety, security, and your pet's comfort, a meet and greet is required for all bookings. The easiest option is a video call, but if you would prefer an in-person meet and greet, a booking is required. For dog walking and house sitting, I strongly encourage an in-person meet and greet to ensure I am the best support option for your pet! **Cancellations and Modifications: If a service has already been confirmed and is 3 days or less away, I do not accept cancellations or modifications outside of emergencies. This means you will be charged for the full service you initially booked, regardless of changing circumstances. Delight is in the details! As your pet/house sitter, I chat with every pet parent to get the scoop on what's needed from me. While I am self-sufficient and can work with minimal details, I encourage families to share as much as they can about the intricacies of their pets' behaviors, personalities, and even house rules or quirks to be aware of. This way, everyone's comfortable and satisfied, and all responsibilities get done so we can all have a delightful time. **Additional notes: I do have a personal vehicle to transport pets in the case of any emergency.
About: I am a very patient person and I use that patience to get to know every animal i interact with. I adore the beauty and intelligence of every animal I come across. I don’t have a full time job yet so my schedule is pretty much wide open for any and every listing. I am ready to meet your babies! I spend time with animals outside the home just to make sure they don’t feel trapped in the home. I think dogs mainly could use fresh air and be allowed to run and walk around freely while in the home.
About: I believe great pet care is about more than simply being there… it’s about making your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs, with a patient and gentle approach for puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra reassurance. You can count on me to provide dependable, thoughtful care and plenty of love while you’re away. 🦋🤍 Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I work from home 3–4 days a week and don’t have children, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pet. I’m able to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day while keeping their routine comfortable and familiar. I truly enjoy having pets around and would love to make them feel right at home while you’re away. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication or special instructions, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s comfort and boundaries, and committed to keeping you updated so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Jane was great! I could tell from how relaxed my little boy was when I got home each day that he felt really comfortable with her. Her walks were always on time, she sent photos and responded to questions I had about my dog’s health. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. My clients get to travel calmly, knowing their loved one is in safe hands. I am great with pets that require a lot of attention. I give them the love and affection they need to feel at home. I live in a house of animal lovers in a safe suburban neighborhood. It has dog parks and trails and lots of sidewalks. I also have a gated and decent-sized backyard for supervised potty breaks and playdates, so your pet will never be left alone. I am available any day to care for your fur baby. I will make sure they are fed, walked, and loved as if they were my own 🥰 I follow the feeding schedule and provide a frequent supervised potty break and playtime. I am a big animal lover, and the comfort of your pet is my priority.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale Park
Micaela was amazing and she is the sweetest! I messaged her very early in the morning to walk my dog Kato and she was at my apartment within 2 hours! Her responsiveness and communication throughout the entire booking was exceptional! My baby absolutely loved her, not to mention he was exhausted after their walks! Thank you Micaela, I will be booking again!
Maria has been just exceptional! She’s been walking my boy regularly for the last few weeks and she really puts her heart into looking after him. It was too hot to take him out for a full 1/2 hour so she spent the remainder of the time playing with and petting him. She’s also been great at letting me know how he’s been during the day. I’d highly recommend her!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
