“As a new dog mom I was hesitant to leave my puppy with a sitter. But I am happy to say that Atticia made me feel very comfortable. She responded to messages in a timely manner and kept me informed with pictures and videos throughout his stay. I will definitely use her again.”


“Joseph is a great dog sitter! He really speaks “dog” and knows how to take care of your pup’s specific needs. Highly recommend him as a reliable pup sitter! Thank you Joseph”

“Robert took our pup in for the day with a last-minute booking and she had a great time! We picked her up happy and healthy, and Robert sent updates and pics throughout the day. Would return in the future!”

“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”

“Danielle is fantastic! She was incredibly responsive while taking care of my pup, Charlie. Charlie seemed as excited and happy when I picked him up as when I dropped him off. Thank you for all your help, Danielle!”

“Love Yaidesky and so did my Golden pup! Yaidesky came to my rescue when I had to find a reliable sitter on a super short notice, she is so responsive, and I totally appreciate that! It’s such a relief to know she’s there for us and our pup when we need a trusted human to care for our dog :)”

About: My name is Dave, A mobile gym for the dogs, and make sure they get more than enough exercise. Generally I do group sessions with pups and have them socialize/play. Although I do 1 on 1 sessions as well! I love dogs, cats, and all animals. I grew up with a half black lab half rottweiler. I'll treat your animals as if they were my own. My availability is open during most weeks. Please contact me with any other question you may have. I’m currently working weekends and have open availability during the week between 10am-6pm. I’ll have plenty of time during the day to take animals on walks to local parks. After going over with the pet owners on their animal/s behaviors, I follow their guidelines on how to take care of the pet/s best. Going on walks, playing in parks, or just keeping the animals company in home.
About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.

“I was a Nervous parents because it’s first time to use rover but it turns out great experience . Our puppy Totori get to meet good dog friends and bond with Daria as soon as he met her Totori didn’t want to leave her place after day care and that tells us everything ! I will definitely ask her to take care of my puppy again”


“Dayna agreed to take my 1 year old Shih Tzu, Jack on a last minute basis while I worked a few overnight shifts and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving him with her and Paul. She sent me photo updates throughout the evening and Jack honestly looked right at home! I can’t say enough good things about them- Thank you so much Dayna, Paul, Pumpkin and Louie!!”

“Jess is absolutely great . She was able to accommodate to our last-minute request for daycare for our dog Bruno and was very understanding of our dog’s needs. She kept sending pictures and updates which gave us piece of mind during these times when our dog needs to be monitored. We’re looking forward for Bruno’s next boarding stay with Jess.”

“Ange was so wonderful with Zazu! Super punctual and communicative. Zazu was so excited to see Ange day two of being minded as she clearly treated him so well. Couldn't recommend Ange more highly and I will definitely request Ange's skills and talents again.”

About: I'm tidy and a non-smoker. I have held several continuous pet sitting jobs over the past 20 years. I grew up with an 100 lb black lab/hound mix and more recently, a 6lb Yorkie that lives with my family in the DC area. Being a pet sitter before, I have experience caring for all various sizes and behaviors. I find it's best to care for them in their home environment where they are most comfortable and I can also help bring in the mail, water plants, etc. I’m also happy to board at my home. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets! Feel free to ask any questions! I work from home and like to mimic the exact routine set by owners. I go on walks around the city daily whether with a cup of coffee in hand in the mornings or evening post work stroll so easily take dogs along on those walks. I ask that owners leave detailed instructions on behavior, feeding and, overall care routine. Please also be available via text in case of any questions. Please ensure all instructions are clear. Thank you!
“Erin was absolutely amazing with Milo! I felt confident leaving my puppy with her because I knew he was in good hands. Such a great experience for my first time booking on Rover!”

About: I have always loved dogs and always wanted to be able to help any dog that I can. I'v always have had a dog since I was a baby so I know the care and love they need to be given on a daily bases. Animals mean a lot to me especially dogs and I would never do anything to put them in harms way. Dogs make our life happy so we should be able to make their life just as happy with the short amount of time they are able to spend with us. They should have a fulfilled life just like we do! I have been around all types of dogs in my life and I love every type of dog their is. I am currently home Monday-Fridays and will be available for dog walking, home visits, and boarding. I will also be available some weekends for pet care. I have a fenced in smaller yard and a big park a short walk away for good exercise. I also have a good size apartment where pets can have some space to walk around I can also host a crate if preferred.
About: I bring a calm, reliable, and highly attentive approach to pet care—shaped not just by helping friends and neighbors, but by raising my own very happy, well-loved Goldendoodle. I understand firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m naturally detail-oriented, so I stick closely to routines, feeding schedules, and each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog needs long walks and playtime or a more relaxed, steady presence, I adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for—and you get complete peace of mind while you’re away. Working from home Monday, Thursday and Friday. In office Tuesday & Wednesday & would be alone 8-5 on those days, otherwise they’ll be with me all the time! My chilled goldendoodle makes even the most nervous of dogs feel comfortable. I have an unfenced yard so always take the dogs out on the lead for a quick bathroom break back there when needed and then do 2-3 walks a day depending on the dogs needs/weather. I have a very dog friendly home with lots of space to play and then in the evenings it’s cuddles watching Netflix! They’re more than welcome on the bed but can also accommodate a crate if you’d prefer. My guest bathroom is all set up for doggy baths if you’d like a clean sparkly dog on your return :)
“Alan took excellent care of my young dog who is something of an escape artist. Pilot enjoyed his time with Alan and I enjoyed knowing that Pilot was happy and safe.”

Upasna Aunty is truly the best. From day one, she’s made me feel completely comfortable leaving my Gemeni with her, and that peace of mind is priceless. She’s so caring, patient, and present, and you can tell she genuinely loves every dog she looks after. I absolutely love getting updates throughout the day—it makes me feel like I’m still a part of Gemeni’s day even when I’m away. She’s always quick to communicate, flexible with timings, and goes out of her way to make things easy. The biggest sign for me is how excited Gemeni gets when she sees her. She runs in without looking back, and that tells me everything I need to know. I never have to wonder if ahe’s being cared for or loved because I know he is. It’s such a relief to have someone I trust so much with her, and I’m incredibly grateful we found her.

Haley was an AMAZING sitter for our 8 week old puppy, and I would totally trust her to watch him in the future. She did so well with him despite his very young age and was open to all my instructions for his care ❤️ She was so easy to contact and convenient for a Southie pup. She had great communication as well throughout the day which left me feeling very confident in my puppy’s care as a new dog mommy 😉. Thank you, Haley!!

Teddy lover staying with Lauren for day care! I will definitely be using her again on a regular basis for my long shifts. She always responded so quickly and had pictures of Teddy just hanging out or on their walks. I love that she is close to a park so Teddy can walk around some green space and not always on the busy hot city sidewalks. Thanks Lauren!

Laine took care of Ziggy two days in a row and it was a blast! Ziggy loved being back to Laine's place every time. I especially appreciate Laine for walking Ziggy during her stay. I could tell Ziggy got what she needed. We'll be back and absolutely recommend Laine for dog sitting and walking.

Kate is a great sitter and took great care of Charlie. She responded to a last minute request which really helped us out in a pinch. She took excellent care of Charlie, and was extra careful with him as he recovers from a knee injury that we’ve been dealing with. I wish all sitters were as responsive, thoughtful, and careful as Kate. 10/10, will rebook!
