“Lee took excellent care of our dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced. We appreciated the regular updates and our dog was very happy at the end of the day. Would highly recommend and use her services again.”

“My doggie had a wonderful time with Asma and her pooch Mica! She was super considerate of his idiosyncrasies, and planned out a wonderful, well balanced, day care day for him.”

“Juliet is the best doggie sitter! My pup loves her place so much. She is kind and attentive and professional and sends great pics and updates. Highly recommend.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover offering a comfortable, loving home for dogs who need boarding or daycare. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of attention, supervision, playtime and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. My home already has a welcoming little crew: Cash, my friendly yellow Lab; Buddy, my playful mini Dachshund; and Nene, my social tabby cat. They’re all used to sharing their space and make wonderful companions for visiting pets. I’ve also created a pet-friendly setup at home, including a balcony with artificial grass for convenient potty breaks, along with plenty of comfortable indoor space for lounging, playing and relaxing. I want every pet who stays with me to feel safe, included and treated like part of the family. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m around throughout the day for playtime, potty breaks, meals, walks, cuddles and supervision. Your pup won’t be spending long stretches alone, and I can easily keep to their normal routine while they’re staying with me. I want every pet in my home to feel safe, comfortable and included. I have two friendly, playful dogs, Cash and Buddy, plus Nene, my social tabby cat, so visiting pets have plenty of companionship. My home has lots of comfortable indoor space, and I also have a balcony with artificial grass for convenient potty breaks. I’m home throughout the day to supervise, give plenty of attention and make sure each pet has the space and care they need. My goal is for your pet to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re having a sleepover with friends.
“Jessica was sooo good with my baby, Tornado! He came back a happy and worn out pup, who loved her pup as well! Jessica was sure to check in and send photos. I would highly recommend!”

“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog since we got her and often watch my friend’s dogs, walking and caring for them. I also helped train my dog when we got her as a puppy. I have cared for both cats and dogs and will be sure to provide plenty of updates of your pets! I am a dancer, and my schedule is flexible, leaving plenty of time to care for pets. I live nearby my studio, so I can easily come check in on pets I am boarding. I am a active person and pet lover and enjoy spending time on walks or playing with pets I can feed, walk and play with your pets and make sure they are getting the best care possible. I will provide plenty of attention and make sure they don’t get overwhelmed or lonely.
“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“Haley was amazing with our little puppy!!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch him, she had so many updates throughout the day! We couldn’t recommend her more!”


“Sara was flexible in making arrangements for us to drop off and pick-up Charlie, and was diligent in sending photos of her stay throughout the day. This was the first time that we had used a sitter for Charlie, and we found the experience to be a good one. We plan on using Sara's services again in the future,”

“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”

I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I go on walks based on the dogs needs and abilities.

“We found Mac on Rover and connected based on tremendous reviews for doggy daycare. Mac is outside awaiting Keely’s arrival each morning, takes her on nice walks, and communicates well with us and our varying pick-up times in the afternoon. Keely knows the name “Mac” after just one week and is so happy at morning drop off. We are thrilled with the time and attention Mac provides for Keely!”

“Marta took great care of Uni, who was understandably anxious as this was his first doggy day care experience! She’s very accommodating of my schedule change and responded promptly to my messages. Thanks Marta :)”

“Joey did a great job with Tova! His confidence with dogs gave us great comfort and peace of mind that Tova would have a great time and be safe! Highly recommend having your pup spend the day with him!”

The median cost per day for doggy day care in The Palisades is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - The Palisades
Jack is amazing with Rolo! He always sends us tons of photos and videos throughout the day, takes him to the park, and makes sure he gets plenty of attention and care. It’s very clear that Jack is a true dog person and really understands how to make Rolo feel comfortable and happy. We always feel completely at ease leaving Rolo with him and couldn’t recommend him more!

Laura is a real professional. She invested time to find out my pup’s needs before our scheduled daycare. She communicated very clearly with us throughout the day. Most importantly, my dog was so happy and well cared for when she was with Laura. I highly recommend her!
So grateful that Haley was not only able to accommodate a last minute request but also took amazing care of my puppy, Izzy. She provided plenty of updates with pictures and videos and Izzy clearly enjoyed her time there! I highly recommend Haley as a sitter to anyone in the Court House/Clarendon area.

It was so easy to communicate with Amanda - quick responses to my messages and we are all set for a meet and greet, then she looked after Daisy today. She has a really cute ground level apartment right next to the Ballston Commons, and it has access to a fenced in shared yard for bathroom breaks. Daisy takes a moment to warm up to new people, but she quickly befriended Amanda and it took some effort when I came to pick her up to get Daisy to leave her curled up spot on the couch next to Amanda. ❣️. I'm so happy to have found a good Rover daycare sitter and will definitely be booking with Amanda again!
