“Olivia was so good at working on making Gidget feel comfortable and safe. Now our normally anxious, people-shy pup LIVES for her visits. Olivia is extremely responsive, flexible, and understanding of our schedule. She gives in depth, detailed reports that give me peace of mind while we're at work. She was quick to pick up on Gidget's little quirky personality and it's been a joy to read about while I can't be home. As long as Olivia is available, we'll never look for another sitter.”
“Jocabet is the best! We had her check in on our pup while I was out of town for a work trip. She was prompt in responding to messages, accommodating of our schedule, sent great photos, and gave us peace of mind that our puppy was well cared for during the long work days. We'll absolutely book her again.”
“Katherine has been so helpful, accommodating, and reliable, when it comes to Callie. As a first time dog owner, I am worried all the time about my puppy, so it’s nice to know she’s with someone who genuinely cares during the day. Would definitely recommend!”
About: “Lifetime pet lover with experience caring for my own dog and my current cat. Excited to provide loving and reliable care for your furry friends!” “My schedule is flexible right now, so I’m available pretty much anytime to care for your pet! Morning, afternoon, or evening—I’ll be there whenever you need! I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for pets, trying to ensure they feel at ease with gentle care, attention, and plenty of affection.
“Lo did a great job taking care of our geriatric zoo - above and beyond in a snow storm, 3 different medication regimens, and ensuring our fur babies were happy and well cared for.”
“Leo was absolutely amazing with our bunnies! He sent us updates and pictures and was so sweet and respectful of our space. We will definitely be asking for Leo's help in the future!”
“Rounida took very good care of my temperamental cat this holiday season. Good updates, reached out with issues and took my cat’s mood day by day. Very much appreciated the patience and kindness. Thank you Rounida!”
About: I’ve taken care of and walked countless friends and family’s dogs and cats. I also have experience with small pets (guinea pigs, hamsters, sugar gliders). I love animals and am a hardworking, detail-oriented person who will apply her passion towards maximum effort to taking the best care of your pet. I adopted my cat Minnow about two years ago and I have learned so much about being a pet parent! I will bring the same care and love to your pets 💕 I work full-time, so I’m available weekday evenings or weekends anytime for walks, play times or check ins, or can be available for longer house sitting on weekends. Whether in your home or on a walk, I am a good communicator and aim to follow your instructions to the T to provide the best care. Moreover, I will treat your space and items with the utmost respect.
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover and caretaker who has cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors my whole adult life (and much of my childhood). I grew up with dogs, and have helped care for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with baggage, and everything in between. Meeting new dogs is always a highlight when out and about in the city, and I'd love to meet and help care for yours! I work from home as a freelancer and contractor, so my schedule is very flexible! Your pet's care will be my top priority -- walks, potty breaks, whatever they need! I have a spacious apartment in DC with a comfortable couch, a rug to lay on, and pillows/beds available for your pup. There is a grassy area outside our apartment (not fenced), and a large park within easy walking distance nearby.
“Drew was amazing! First time in a long time— my dogs just welcomed someone with no issues :)… I highly recommend him as a dog sitter. His attention to details is also significant.”
About: Experienced with pets of all walks: puppies needing training (I can keep up your methods or try new ones) to elderly pups with medication schedules. Currently, my availability varies during the day, during the week. Planning in advance is super helpful but I can sometimes meet spontaneous needs, especially in close proximity. Reach out to confirm exact availability. I follow all instructions left by the pet owner and take care to set any alarms for reminders I might need. I care for all pets as though they are my own and give them the care I would want someone to give to my pets.
“Amazing - BOOK WITH HER! She made my first Rover experience so reassuring. I didn’t know what to expect with this app but I’m very happy I booked with her. Will definitely book her regularly.”
“Jason was wonderful. He was communicative, went above and beyond (like offering to pick up more food when I miscounted and didn't leave enough cans of food), and was generally lovely to correspond with. Me and my cats wholeheartedly endorse!”
“Juna continues to take fantastic care of my hound mix! My dog is always happy to see Juna, and I can tell from her consistent communication and her lovely walking/drop-in photos that my dog continues to enjoy Juna's care and company throughout each booking. Juna has proven to be capable and resourceful throughout all of her visits with my dog, and I'm confident she would be the same with yours, too!”
“Angela was wonderful to work with! She took excellent care of Scarlett, and dealt with my, at times, temperamental cat's attitude with kindness and professionalism. She was an excellent communicator and very friendly. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and birds. For the past three years I’ve mostly been house-sitting/taking care of a good neighbor/friends bird who I love dearly. I’ve put her to bed and cleaned her cage along with fed her while sitting with her for 3+ hours most days. I’ve learned to take care of pets as if they are my own and love all animals. :)) I’m an active student at the Catholic university of America and not working so I have a good amount of free time to house sit and or take care of the family pets! When it comes to taking care of another’s home and pet I’ve always been good at cleaning after the animal and myself while keeping the environment warm and cozy. :))
“Tania was a great sitter and I know my kitty enjoyed her regular visits over my trip. Have worked with her a number of times now and am always satisfied. Great communication and updates. My place was as clean as it was before I left, if not better. Thank you!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with how Megan took care of our Alvey. It was clear from Megan’s thorough notes and pictures that she really cared for and bonded with him. She was thoughtful about balance play and affection and care. Her reliable, caring approach was the best experience we’ve had with a cat sitter. We wholeheartedly recommend Megan for her outstanding service.”

Ava is a GREAT sitter! She’s very communicative and attentive and went above and beyond for my pet. I’ve never had a sitter actually follow every one of my instructions, but Ava did! My flight even got delayed and Ava made sure to leave enough food for my pet to stay cared for. She provided pictures every day and even helped clean up a mess my pet made while I was absent. I would definitely book her again to care for my dog or cat, as she’s great with both animals.
My first time using a sitter and I had a great experience with Karen. She was communicative, always on time and took excellent care of my kitties. The daily photos gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I will absolutely rebook with Karen in the future!
I hired Chanelle for about three weeks with daily visits, and she did an absolutely wonderful job. Originally, I had planned for visits every other day, but one of my cats suddenly became unwell, so I had to ask her at the last minute to switch to daily visits. She was very flexible and kindly accommodated this change without any issues. She took great care of my cats, making sure to administer medication properly every day, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She also consistently ensured that their food and water were replenished and that they were well looked after. I truly appreciate her reliability, flexibility, and the level of care she provided. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.
This is the 16th time I have booked Ashley to watch my cat Violet, and every single time she goes above and beyond. I am so sad to be moving outside of her sitter radius. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, patient, and fun pet sitter. She has been so amazing to my cat and I can always count on her. It has been so wonderful trusting her with my beloved fur child, I cannot say enough good things. Thank you Ashley!!!
Reyhan was wonderful! She took excellent care of our two cats when we travelled for 10 days. At each check-in she not only took basic care of our cats but also played with them, shared adorable photos, and alerted us early about potential issues with their energy levels or food. They turned out to be just fine, but we appreciated knowing that they were being cared for by someone who was so attentive. We felt at ease when we were on our vacation. Thank you, Reyhan!
Kaitlin arrived as as scheduled and provided the love and care our cat needed while we were away. She followed instructions on his specific healthcare needs, cleaned his box, and refilled his food and water as requested. Monty was happy and healthy upon our return!
