“Jayla has a very nice vibe about her. She followed my instructions and was always on time. I was out of the country for a week and I didn’t worry about my little kitty once. I plan to call on Jayla every time I’m away in the future. She’s EXCELLENT. I highly recommend her.”
About: I love all the dogs. I enjoy playing with them and taking walks. I love long hiking in the parks where me and dogs can be closer to nature. I have always met only great dogs. They all have different personalities and this is something that requires patience and understanding to allow the dog connect with me. However, as big or small the dog can be, it has no difference for me. In my life I had only one time dog biting me and it was when I was a child and was running through the neighbor's property and the dog did his duty and started running after me. He scratched my left leg with his teeth, but it was more of a gentle warning, than a bite. Dogs listen to me very well. Sometimes I get surprised myself how well they respond to me. This is something I would enjoy doing with all my heart Dogs are amazing creatures! Thank you, Oksana
“This was our first time using Rover. Edward came through in a pinch we had a last minute cancellation and he was available to help for the week. Really great with our pup Tank. Overall, a very good experience! Thanks again!”
“Eric took excellent care of our cats while we were away! He spent quite a bit of time with them and made sure our cat who needed medicine took it again after she had a bad tummy and threw it up the first time. Definitely a sweetheart, would have him look after them again. <3”
“Katherine was so sweet to my baby girl Luna! It was our first time ever using a dog sitter & she totally helped me feel comfortable with the whole process. She went above & beyond for my dogs needs. She also responded very quickly & had flexible availability. I would recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Enih responded to me when I was in a real bind-I needed a walker the same day and the walk was for the 9:30pm time slot. That in and of itself says something special about a person. My dog took to her right away and Enih kept in touch during the walk including sending an adorable picture. I will definitely ask for her again as my dog needs three walks a day.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for friends and family for 13 years. I have worked with dogs as big as huskies and small as miniature poodles. I truly love dogs so it’s a treat for me to get to spend time with your pup! I work a hybrid full-time schedule so I am u flexible during the weekdays. However, my weekends are completely open & weekdays after 5 pm are free. I am happy to care for pets in my home. The care of each pet will be dependent upon the desires of the owner. I am happy to accommodate your needs. I'm available on weekday mornings and weekday evenings, except Tuesdays and Thursdays evenings. Outside of that, my schedule is pretty flexible, so message me and I'll do my best to make your dates work! I care for pets in your home so they stay comfortable in their own space and routine. I follow your feeding, potty, and leash instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and send photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing.
“Fiona was perfect for watching our cat this long weekend. She was very communicative and easy to get along with, to us and, more importantly, our cat. Thanks for caring for Beans while we were out of town!”
“Pepper has enjoyed her stays with Nasheia and Nina so much that we have made it a weekly thing. With other sitters I would drop pepper off and she would run back to me to pick her up and not want to leave. As soon as Pepper saw Nina she forgot all about me. She comes home happy and tired from all her playing.”
“Aliyah was Great! Super responsive went the extra mile beyond just what I asked her to do. Sent pictures and definitely seems like she has a great love for animals. Will definitely book her in the future.”
About: I'm comfortable with everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to giving medications. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I treat every pet like my own: I stick to your rules & routine, send photo updates, and make sure your best friend is well taken care of! I have a friendly lab named Maple that is happy to socialize with your dog or stay home! I’m currently a medical student and love interacting with animals in my free time and as study breaks. I’m fairly flexible during the day and evenings I am happy to stay at your home or bring the dog to mine. I do live in an apartment and ask for the dog to be crate or pen trained if staying at my place!
About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising and training a Cocker Spaniel, a Pitbull Terrier, and a Rottweiler from puppyhood into their senior years, my goal is to provide patient and dependable care tailored to your pet's unique personality. Whether they need playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm place to stay, they will always feel safe, loved, and cozy while in my care. I currently work full-time in Alexandria, VA, but I work remotely on Mondays and Wednesdays. I do have open availability on weekends, and I am available to board throughout the weekend into Monday. My care is tailored to the individual needs of every animal. My apartment complex is incredibly pet-friendly with a large area right outside my unit for long walks and playtime. We also have a grooming station in case your fur baby needs a little TLC before going home. As an active young adult and someone familiar with the challenges of the puppy years - I am also available to walk dogs as frequently as needed. I also have no problem administering medication or patiently supporting elderly or special needs animals.
About: All dogs need a friend who will run with them, chase sticks and get a little dirty. I’m here to make the city feel more like a jungle and less like concrete. I grew up in VA, working on a farm and playing with all kinds of pets, so I’m not afraid of big dogs. I’m a former D1 athletes, and I work in education, with a background in child and animal care so high energy pets are no problem. I’ve pet sat exotic breeds of dogs for cash during undergrad at Georgetown; I’m also comfortable with high need pets! I’m down to clown but I’ll always put your pets safety first! As a data guy I’m big on little details and enjoy it following instructions. I make it into a game. I also live with a fellow rover person!
About: I grew up in a small village which gave me the opportunity to take care of all types of animals including horses, birds, dogs, and cats. I have had my dog Gucci for 11 years now ( he lives with my family overseas) and was taking care of 2 very adorable stray dogs Rex ,Angel ,and a cat named olive. Angel can’t see in one eye so he needed all the help he could get. After taking care of them for about a year I decided to find them their forever homes. Rex, olive ,and angel were adopted by two warm and loving homes. Before leaving them I made sure that they were given proper care and the attention they need. I have a flexible hybrid working schedule which allows me to spend most of my time at home, giving me plenty of time to spend with my fur buddies. I have a big backyard that is fenced with space for dogs to run around. I don’t leave pets outside unattended. Inside the house I like dogs to be as comfortable as possible and to roam around freely.
About: i have taken care of animals for years and i love playing with them and providing a service to pet owners that have busy lives. I am currently in school, so I can watch your cats over the weekends or in the mornings, sometimes I am free during the week, but that is on a case by case basis I have two cats so if your cat is not friendly I can watch your pet at your house, but my cats are friendly so I can watch your cat at my house too!
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years and have had my beagle, Donut, for the past year and have helped my friends with their cats as needed throughout the years. With my hybrid work schedule, I’m very flexible and available throughout the day to meet your pet’s needs. I have hands-on experience working through separation anxiety with my own dog, so I’m especially patient, understanding, and attentive to each pet’s comfort level. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills, if needed. I truly love caring for animals and would be excited to give your furry family member the attention, care, and companionship they deserve ❤️ I’m currently hybrid on Monday, Thursday and Fridays so I’m very flexible on those days. I’m also available on weekends or outside of 9-5 on Tuesday and Wednesday. I live on Capitol Hill and have lots of walkable areas and parks near me for your dog. I also have a very friendly beagle who loves to play with other dogs your pup could hang out with.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Suitland
Cynthia is wonderful! She takes excellent care of my dog and cat and always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She’s reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. She’s also one of the very few people my cat actually likes—which says a lot! Highly recommend her!
Natalie is amazing and went above and beyond at very late notice to make my Dante happy and comfortable while I was away for work. She was flexible with a very rushed meet-and-greet and remained flexible throughout the stay, even as I added another sameday drop-in. She had great treats and toys for him and took tons of pictures. I know he loved the walks and getting outside. I’m very appreciative and grateful for her time and care! Will absolutely be booking again.
Noah was amazing as usual ! He was able to fit us in during his busy schedule so we could visit family cross country . He took very good care of our boys and made sure to communicate any and everything (per our request) . Will definitely use his services again !
They were absolutely amazing. I just moved to the area from Texas and had to travel to Colorado for my niece’s birthday, but couldn’t bring my dog. My usual pet sitter is back in Texas, so I was unexpectedly without pet care. When the dates of my trip changed, they were generous and flexible enough to watch Scooby a little longer. Scooby normally takes a while to warm up to new people and can be particularly hesitant around men, but he bonded with them incredibly quickly. They truly exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful with pets.
Anh was wonderful! My dog has separation anxiety, and Anh truly went above and beyond to help her feel safe and comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and as a first-time Rover user, she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend Anh.
Stephanne is great with my 3 dogs. She can handle taking all 3 of my dogs on walks together, has so much experience with dog behavior, and she’s very attentive to their health and well being. She is incredibly reliable; I have such peace of mind knowing she’s taking care of my dogs.
Ehuniz did an amazing job sitting for my dog Asja! I can pretty much fill out a potential sitter during the Meet and Greet. Ehuniz was very warm and calm which made me quite comfortable (my dog feeds off energy). Ehuniz was very responsive when I made initial contact with here to sit for my dog which was a pretty quick turnaround due to a last minute issues with the person originally scheduled to sit for her. I highly recommend Ehuniz if you are looking for a reliable sitter!

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Suitland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
