“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”


“Kota has stayed with Gabriella during the day multiple times and she has always been wonderful to work with. He is ecstatic when seeing her and it’s clear how safe and comfortable he feels in her care.”


“Sabrina was so great with my new rescue! She was super understanding when Lottie had an accident and sent so many wonderful updates, and I could tell that my pup really loved spending time with Sabrina and her boyfriend—Lottie is a little shy but basically immediately warmed up to them both. I would absolutely recommend her (and I am 100% sure Lottie would too).”


“Gabriela was a delight. Extremely accommodating for my early morning drop-offs and very responsive throughout the day. Nyla was happy both days, so I know Gabriela gave her the same love I do. I recommend her 10/10 and will certainly book again.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and it ignited my passion to become a veterinarian—something I’m currently diving into with excitement! I adore animals like they’re my new best friends, and working with all sorts of creatures has filled my heart since I was a little girl. Now, getting the opportunity to do what I love feels like a dream come true! I’ve had incredible experiences grooming pets, administering medicine, and ensuring their daily needs are met—each moment is an adventure! I even got certified as a canine attendant, which was an amazing milestone for me! Plus, it’s not just me; my whole family joins in on the fun with pet sitting! If you ever worry about your furry baby when they’re in my care, put those fears aside! We are all passionate about providing love, respect, and the very best care for every furbaby we encounter. We’re dedicated to making tails wag and hearts happy! 😊 I’m currently a college student so having a routine for myself and my fur baby is a must in my books! I love to experience meeting new personalities with animals as I do people. Although I am young (I like to hang out with my friends of course) I still try to insert my pet into my fun through a safe manner. With me, there’s always room for a fur baby to tag along and enjoy themselves as much as they can. My family consists of a lot of kids and puppies so whenever your pet is here they are always on the go. I try to keep your fur baby as active as possible especially if they’re a high energy baby. Just know your baby is gonna be living a dream life in my care!

“I asked Rosina’s care for my little girl during my dinner scheduled in a last minute. She is very accommodating and responsive, and I am so thankful for her professional dedication!”


“Jorge is SO kind and sends the best photos and frequent updates. He goes above and beyond and Beau absolutely loves him - he’s always wagging his tail in the videos we get, or cuddled up next to him :) The best!!”


“Francys did a great job watching Shadow. While dog sitting, she did a great job with sending me updates and pictures! I will definitely book with her again for Doggy Daycare!”


About: I’ve had the opportunity to hang out with a lot of my friends’ fur babies over the past year. I love walking their dogs and care for them throughout the day and I really enjoy giving pups all the attention that they deserve. Whether it be walks, cuddles, or play time, I’ll be there through it all :) I currently work from home throughout the week and would be able to take your dog out multiple times a day and have the space to play with them as well. I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the day and will be able to cater to specific needs depending on them. I also live in a relatively spacious apartment and there’s a lot of space for your dog to run around. I’m very good at asking questions before taking care of your pet so I know exactly what your pet would need. I am very intentional about what your dog might need throughout the day and follow instructions very well.

“Sonu seems to have had a good stay with Gabrielle and Dante. And Noli! They played and hung out. Gabrielle was very responsive and shared pictures during the stay and kept us updated. Highly recommend them for your pet!”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember! I currently have a playful 3.5-year-old dog, and I’ve also cared for two cats at my mom’s house. Growing up, I’ve always been surrounded by animals and started watching pets for friends and family at a young age. My experience even extends to rescuing dogs from the streets, so I'm well-versed in handling unexpected situations and truly anything medical-related that might arise. I know what it takes to provide loving, reliable care and make sure your furry friends feel at ease, whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or keeping their routine intact! As a content creator working from home, I have a flexible schedule, so your pet will always have my full attention. I can take care of potty breaks, walks, and any other needs at any time throughout the day. Your pet will be my top priority, and I’ll ensure they feel loved and well cared for. I'm able to provide round-the-clock attention since I’m home all day, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times. My apartment is brand new, spacious, and pet-friendly, offering a clean and open environment for your furry friend to relax in. I’m also fortunate to live in a fantastic neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas, perfect for walks and playtime. Additionally, my complex has a pet spa, so I’d be happy to give your pet a bath and grooming session to return them looking and feeling their best! (For free!)

“Omayma was great with my pup! She sent pics throughout the day and was flexible with drop-off/pick up. My pup definitely felt comfortable with her because he was super excited to see her the second day! I’d book with her again!”


“Marlene was great with Rosa and I would definitely work with her again! Rosa enjoyed her time there, was in great spirits after, and I appreciated Marlene's flexibility for the last minute request and ease of communication.”


About: I’ve always had animals around me, but dogs have a special place in my heart. One of my favorite memories while living in California was taking my friend’s German Shepherd to the beach and then to a local dog spa for a bath—seeing him so happy made my day! Now that I’ve moved to DC without a pet, I’ve been enjoying caring for friends’ dogs, and they encouraged me to join Rover to help even more pups feel loved. I work from home, so if we decide on boarding, your dog won’t be alone, and I’m always ready to take a break from the screen for a walk or a game of fetch. I’d love to help care for your furry family member! I work from home during the day, so your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and play breaks throughout my work hours. I usually venture out after 5–6 PM for dance classes or to meet friends for a happy hour, but I’m home in the evenings for snuggles and evening routines. Your pet will never feel alone for long and will get a balance of structured care and cozy downtime while staying with me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always start with a conversation about your pet’s needs, routines, and any allergies or sensitivities they may have. Even if I’ve cared for your pet before, I’ll double-check about treats or any food changes each time to ensure nothing has changed. I keep a clean, pet-safe environment and maintain a calm, warm space so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I believe clear communication and consistency build trust for both pets and their owners, and I’m committed to making your fur baby feel at home with me.

About: I have learned from volunteering at the shelter asa caretaker - from then I become a dog and cat mom rescuing them. I now foster dogs from EA list and love advocating for furries. I am excited to care and meet your furry I am in the fitness and wellness space - I serve my community and work on my own schedule allowing me time to create a routine with your furry if needed. I live in a town home and have a room or crate whichever is needed. We have a community yard and perfects walking routes around us as well as a dog park

“Anna has been taking care of my dog Bleu for over a year now, and I truly can’t imagine trusting anyone else with him. Every Wednesday morning when I drop him off, he gets so excited! Tail wagging, running straight to her, it’s clear how much he loves being with her. She also lives in the perfect location for long walks around the city, which Bleu absolutely enjoys. I know he’s getting the exercise, stimulation, and love he needs while he’s with her. There have been times when I’ve had to travel out of the country and Anna has cared for Bleu overnight. One trip in particular was stressful because Bleu had recently been attacked, and I almost cancelled everything. But Anna reassured me that he would be in good hands and she was right. She’s incredibly attentive, kind, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Bleu loves her, and I can say without a doubt that I trust her with the most important guy in my life, my sweet Bleu Bleu. She’s been a true blessing in our lives!”
