About: Living in Navy Yard, I’ve helped take care of hundreds of pets. I’m reliable and punctual, but most importantly I prioritize the animals and their safety. Pets are a big part of my daily life :) since I work from home I’ve built up quite a group of furry friends in the neighborhood that I take care of. Safety is number one. I read and follow instructions throughly, so I’m always clear on direction and what the pet needs. I’m willing to rearrange my home to suit :)
“I know it is a good sign when Angel gives a lot of dog kisses when she sees her sitter. She is happy to see them and returns home happy. Thank you so much.”
About: For the past 8 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities - and I truly love them all! I’m passionate about animals and would be thrilled to have the opportunity to care for your furry friend. In addition to my experience with dogs, I also have worked with children, which has taught me the importance of being patient, playful, and responsible. You can count on me to be trustworthy, attentive, and loving with your pet. Thank you so much for considering me! I am currently working part time and have lots of time in the morning and evenings to play with your pups! I would love for my day to full of dogs to love on! I currently live in an apartment with a dog park and a big space to run and play. I have lots of time for walks and playing. I have done lots of overnights and am very comfortable keeping your pets in your home or mine.
“Allie is great with Asher and took his special needs seriously. Asher made the transition to her as a new daycare very well telling me he is happy. I look forward to working regularly with Allie.”
“Great dog sitter my dog really liked being there and the pictures each day that were sent calmed my nerves. This was my first time and I am looking forward to using the services again. She took the time to understand my dog needs and personality. Great option to choose.”
“Imogen was fantastic with Rosie! She was proactive, detail-oriented, and communicative, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. Rosie got long walks and trips to the dog park, and she came home very happy! The care and attention Imogen gave her was evident throughout. Highly recommend Imogen to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter!”
“It feels so rare to find someone on this app that genuinely has the animals wellness and comfort as their top priority. After so many bad experiences it was a relief to know my dog was in good hands while I was away. I had to find a sitter last minute for work and Rosina was extremely flexible and communicative. If I could do a rating worth more than 5 stars I would. Even if you do not live in DC I highly recommend going the distance to ensure your furry friend is in a beautiful loving home. Will 100% be rebooking whenever I'm in the area. <3”
About: I’m a huge dog lover and would love to take care of your baby! I grew up with/around dogs and have been pet sitting my friends’ dogs for years. My dog, Junie, is an easygoing girl who loves long walks and playtime just as much as she loves cuddling on the couch! We’d love to have your dog join us for fun and relaxation! My dog takes some medicine so I’m comfortable providing all sorts of medicines to your dog and accommodating for any special needs they may have. I always send lots of updates and photos cuz I know how important to me when I’m away from my pup! I work from home full time so your dog won’t be alone all day. I usually take my dog Junie out at least once during the work day but we can adjust based on your pup’s needs! I want your pet to feel at home! He/she will be allowed on the furniture as long as you allow that at home (don’t want to build any bad habits 😊). Junie and I love long walks before and after work and we’d be happy to have your dog join us. There is a dog park about a 10 min walk away that we got to pretty frequently as well. If your baby is more of a couch potato, we can make that work too! My dog, Junie, is very go with the flow and will be happy to do whatever your dog wants to do!
“Sonja was amazing! She came out on short notice to meet our pups, and she did an amazing job with them. She sent us photo updates and checked in every so often. The pups looked so happy; we could tell they were having a blast and that they loved her. As owners of two large breed dogs, it's difficult to find someone who is at ease around them, not afraid, and not overwhelmed by them, and Sonja was all that we could have hoped for in those regards. We definitely plan on using her services again! ”
“I had a last-minute request to find someone local to take care of my puppy while I went into work and Lisa was able to host her. She was super friendly & great at following up with me. Lisa was also very patient when waiting to pick her up & drop her off. I definitely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!”
“Vania was Amazing. This was my first time using Rover, first time needing someone to sit my 5 month old mini poodle Roux . Roux did not want to leave. She loved her and her family. I felt 100 percent confident and safe with Vania. I will ABSOLUTELY be back again.”
About: I have grown up around animals and have years of experience caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. Whether it’s high-energy puppies who need a long walk or senior dogs who just want a quiet companion, I pride myself on being attentive to their specific needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, basic grooming, and ensuring every pet feels safe and loved while their owners are away. As a university student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to your pets. I am primarily available for boarding on weekends and have open availability on weekday afternoons after 2:00 PM. My routine allows for consistent potty breaks, midday play sessions, and plenty of evening attention to keep your pet happy and engaged Safety is my top priority. When pets are in my care, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment and always follow the owner’s specific instructions regarding exercise and diet. For home visits, I am extremely respectful of your space and keep a close eye on your pet at all times. I am happy to provide regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your 'fur baby' is in good hands.
“Super friendly and helped out last minute. This was a life saver for our vacation to have someone watch our dog while we were in between check out and check in to a new location. This was our first time using the service and she did great with my dog.”
“Great first experience with Kaylee! Rocky had a great day— Kaylee sent lots of pictures of his adventures. She’s very kind and good with him. I have already rebooked her!”
About: I grew up in a home that always had a dog or multiple dogs, from 6 pounds to 90 pounds but also comfortable with even bigger dogs. My scheduled is a flexible work from home schedule so I can give constant attention to dogs throughout the day, with a dog park at the apartment. I am very flexible with dogs’ needs and accommodate their normal routines. I prefer not to leave them by themselves and happy to take them on very many walks.
About: Former groomer and parent to a beautiful lab mix since August 2020. I am very attentive, care deeply for pets, and guarantee sufficient exercise and attention I work from home often. I am very attentive, have a lot of availability, and promise your pet a loving home away from home. Your pet is welcome on the furniture and I don’t believe in caging pets, so it will roam free. I care for pets in my home, but can also drop in to feed or walk your pet. Expect a flexible and tailored care with lots of attention.
“I always know a good dog sitter when we are on our way and Moxie starts getting all excited in the car when we are about half a mile away and she's figured out where we're going. I love to see that. It makes me happy to see her so happy. Thank you again! I definitely recommend Yulia and Ken. They have a great yard and a wonderful dogs they care for. Moxie loves it so that means I love it!”

Literally the best dog sitter ever!!! Dexter came home tired, and a tired dog is a good dog! This was my first time using a Rover sitter and I had such a great experience. Lots of pics and updates ◡̈ I honestly don’t even want to ever go with anyone other than Kaylee!

Paula was phenomenal with our 4 month old puppy—she maintained her at-home schedule / routine with care and our pup was excited to see her for day 2. Paula is attentive, responsive, and cares for pups as if they are her own. Cannot recommend her enough—we hope she’s available next time we need someone to watch our floofer.
Vernon took lovely care of our boy! He was communicative, timely and flexible. He took our request at the last minute and adjusted to our schedule. He is efficient and I could tell that our boy had a good time. This was our first time using Rover and he gave us the peace of mind. We will definitely be using him again!
