About: Hi! I'm Emily, and lived with a dog since I was four years old. My sweet resident dog Poppy and I would love to take care of and play with your pup while you're away! I have a large fenced in yard to play and relax in, and an afternoon walk is almost always in our schedule. As a dog mom for about 6 years, I have a lot of experience caring for dogs, and can accommodate whatever your dog needs. I am also a volunteer and occasional foster for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and previously volunteered at the MSPCA. I am off work for the summer and am a homebody so I will be home and have more than enough time to give your dog the attention they deserve. I'll make sure your pup has a fun and safe day! We'll have playtime, walks, and cuddles. Fresh water and a comfy dog bed (or sofa!) are always available.

“I’ll rate Gwyn 5 stars again and again. She was super receptive to my schedule, very responsive and provided a fun day for my boy. She was efficient and I loved that she had her own dog for my boy to play with.”


“Russ and his family took excellent care of our girl! They have a lovely yard and some adorable and playful bassets - a dogs paradise! They sent lots of updates, photos, and videos of our pup throughout the day. We picked up a very happy girl! Highly recommend!”


“Kathryn and her bf were so wonderful to my Ginger! She seemed to have a great time and was super happy when I picked her up! I would recommend her to anyone!”


“Katie is great! This was Mochi’s first time being around other dogs for this amount of time and she definitely put my mind at ease with of all the pictures she sent. Mochi had a great time and will definitely be seeing Katie and Henry soon!”


“I am so thankful to have found Juliana and Kael to take care of my little girl -they are so responsive and loving and helpful”


“Avery always takes great care of Rosie!”


“Second time with Cynthia my Leo was so happy I will definitely keep using Cynthia’s service and I will recommend her to all my friends thank you sooo much”


“Nikki was a great host for our dog. She was quick to respond and asked lots of good questions to make sure Tavi was well taken care of. Definitely recommend.”


“Dolce had a great day at Shane’s. He got tons of playtime and came home a tired and happy pup. Communication and updates were fantastic. We look forward to our next visit!”


“Samantha was great with my pup. I had a previous bad experience with a Rover where my dog was pretty shaken up for days after returning. This was not the case with Samantha. She has renewed my faith in Rover. Theo came home tired but happy. I will definitely be using her for future daycare days/overnight stays when I am away.”


About: I have been an animal person my whole life - and have a Bachelor’s of Science in Zoology to prove it! I have 3 years of professional experience in pet nutrition and have fur babies of my own. My late dog required monitored, elongated feedings, adapted walks, multiple doses of medication, and supplemental IV treatments during his end of life care. Prior to this he was super active and needed a lot of stimulation - I can do both! I have personally owned multiple cats and am comfortable administering medication for them too. I love interacting with animals and can cater to each pet’s individual needs at that immediate moment. Pet care is my full time job, so when you need me to be there I can be there! I try to update my schedule as often as possible to reflect my best times available. I am a morning person so I am happy doing drop ins with the sunrise! It is important to me that my home is safe, comfortable, and fun for your pet. I love to play games with dogs and cats and give them a lot of pets and rewards. I have one cat currently and he is given fresh water and has litter changes daily.

“KIMBERLY IS THE BEST!!! She took the most amazing care of my pup Casper yesterday. He came home happy, tired, and with a huge smile on his face. She was super communicative and an awesome sitter. Not to mention the pictures she shared — she should become a pet photographer!”


“William was wonderful with our puppy. He made sure that he was comfortable and had access to the backyard to remain accident free. Would definitely reach out again when a sitter is needed. Thank you!”


“I am thrilled to have found such a wonderful in home daycare that only takes one dog at a time. Hannah (and Chris) are very kind, loving and communicative. My dog is 10 years old and this is the first time he has been away from our home. I was very apprehensive at first not knowing what to expect but the experience has been great! When we get to their door, his tail is wags a mile a minute!”


“Erin watched our dog Theo during the day when we all had to be out of our house. Erin was a wonderful host and very communicative! Theo had a great time playing with Erin’s dog and we were so happy that we booked another stay immediately! Highly recommend Erin!”


“Nina was great! We were on vacation and had a last minute change of plans. Nina responded quickly to our inquiry and was able to accommodate us last minute. She took great care of Shadow! I would use her again if we’re ever back in DC ?”

Taylor Run dog parents share their Rover experiences
Millaray was great! She was very communicative and let her puppy bond with my dog outside. Odin had a good time!

Alesha was amazing!!! I got pics and videos through Gigi’s stay. I would most definitely recommend her and use her again.

Gwyn took special care to make sure that Jackson was comfortable during his stay. Thank you for taking such good care of him!

Kendra was great-- we had a last minute day trip come up and she was able to take care of our pup. Would definitely use her again!

Bhumika and Ravikumar were great! They kept us updated with pics and messages about our pup. Our dog felt very comfortable with them. He had a happy stay. Would definitely recommend them.

My pup Ember absolutely loves it here. We are becoming regulars now and when we pull up to the house, Ember jumps out the car and darts directly to the house. She can barely wait for Katelyn to open the door lol. We get lots of updates while she’s there and we know she’s in a safe environment. She is a pretty timid pup sometimes but i think playing with Charlie is definitely making her more confident (and she’ll even force Charlie into snuggling now lol). We are SO happy we found a consistent sitter for our little crazy lady. And one that she clearly enjoys too.

Our dog LOVES going to daycare to play with her pup pals on Fridays. It’s also reassuring to know she’s in the best of hands with Shane, who truly ensures each dog is treated like his own!

Mary and Brian did an exceptional job of taking care of our Darla. They took the time to walk her and play with her and just fell in love with her. They are great people and worked with us and our crazy schedule during our stay in DC. Thank you again and we will be back and booking the two of you again.

Hayley and Christopher were so accommodating fitting in my puppy Kylo last minute and provided him with the time of his life! He got to feel like a big strong pup playing with their adorable golden retriever! I certainly will be booking again!

Sonya is perfect. Henry can normally be timid around new people but he immediately walked into Sonya’s house with a tail wagging and began exploring! I knew right then and there that he was going to be happy and comfortable, which is such a relief!

My dog just spent his first day with Ana. He was relaxed and in no rush to leave when I came to pick him up. I plan to be a repeat customer.

Madison was great, very flexible and nice. Her dog Hank was very gentle with Saint even being 5x his size lol would definitely use her again

Betty is the best! She always makes sure our dog is well taken care of and has a ton of fun. Plus she’s always responsive and flexible.

Lauren (and Howie) were wonderful, communicative, and professional. She took in my two babies when I was in a pinch and they had so much fun. Thank you, Lauren!

Barbara and Tanner are the best! Griffey absolutely loves spending time at their place with their dog Hank. He gets so excited when we pull up and makes himself right at home when he gets inside. We feel great going through our day knowing that he’s safe, having fun, and being well taken care of.

Sefora went above and beyond to take care of Silly the last two days. Silly had so much and loved hanging out with Sefora!

Nora took wonderful care of my little pug Scout. He’s 8 months old and a little ball of energy, but Nora and Tuna sent him home happy and tired. Nora sent photos and messages through the day, such cute shots of all his activities. I will definitely be calling on Nora and Tuna again in the very near future! Thanks again for the phenomenal care!

Deirdre is great with my puppy! He was so excited to arrive at her house again. She is excellent at communicating and was very understanding when I was later than expected.

I am thrilled to have found such a wonderful in home daycare that only takes one dog at a time. Hannah (and Chris) are very kind, loving and communicative. My dog is 10 years old and this is the first time he has been away from our home. I was very apprehensive at first not knowing what to expect but the experience has been great! When we get to their door, his tail is wags a mile a minute!
