Aiden was great watching my pup! He sent so many pictures of them on walks and snuggled up. I texted him late one night asking if he could stay overnight with my dog, and he was there within an hour! Would love to have Aiden dog sit again!

Anne was so wonderful and communicative while house sitting for us. When we met Anne it was definitely a relief as we were panicing about finding someone for the upcoming holiday weekend. I felt that I left my house and dogs in the hands of a long time friend. We are definitely planning to use Anne for overnight stays in the future.

Amanda was very communicative and spent lots of time with my velcro cat and dog with situational anxiety, and let me know in advance when she wouldn't be home so I could make arrangements. My pets loved her! She sent lots of pictures updates as well.

Abi was wonderful with our 6 month old chocolate lab! We’ve only left her alone with one other sitter, but Bailey took to Abi immediately. We got a photo from her while we were at dinner to let us know that Bailey was very comfortable and settled so we wouldn’t worry. We would have Abi back to stay with Bailey again anytime, and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a sitter!

Sonja walked into chaos. I still wasn’t packed, the Uber driver was about to arrive, I was still cleaning dishes, and I hadn’t updated the pet-sitting notes yet. Then, raccoons got through the *covered* doggie door two nights in a row (Sonja took a video of them lifting the cover). Then, my flight was delayed. She took it all in stride. She sent ample pics and videos of my fuzzy beasties, and I have no doubt, they were well cared-for. Thank you, Sonja! Sorry for the crazy circumstances!!

About: 🐾 Are you in search of the perfect dog sitter who will provide your furry friend with exceptional care and love? Look no further! 🐶 Having my own 12-year-old Cocker Spaniel, I understand feeling at peace when you’re traveling without your pup. After having 3 dogs of different breeds, I understand the unique needs and quirks of our four-legged friends. I have volunteered at humane societies & ASPCAs, so I’m very familiar with different temperaments and animal control. I love making homemade dog treats & taking leisure walks around the Georgetown waterfront and rock creek park so your dog will enjoy plenty of exciting outdoor adventures with me. And will be feed my yummy dog treats (if allowed, of course). Most importantly, I understand the trust placed in caring for your dog, so it’s important I treat them as my own providing a safe space filled with snuggles and attention while you’re away. I work from home M-F and am totally flexible to take the dogs out for walks or to dog parks to maintain their familiar routine throughout the day. If you have a older dog or puppy I can take them out as needed. I live in a really quite neighborhood in Glover park. I usually take my dog out 3-4 times per day for 25-30 mins. Our building has a unfenced yard and several other grassy areas in my neighborhood that the pups can stretch their legs and burn some energy. I’m pretty accommodating to the needs of your family and dog as long as it’s communicated. I have a senior dog who stays to herself but if your dog doesn’t do to well with others, I can make arrangements so she isn’t here during your pups stay. I welcome any mats, toys, crates or pads that make your dog feel more at ease. Please let know of any behaviors I should be aware of and try to communicate as much as you can about your furry friend so we can all enjoy their stay while here! Please also make sure your dog is up to date on at least rabies. Though I’m new to Rover, I have clients who who can provide references for me :)

Hi Doggie moms and dads! I recently booked Peggy's pet sitting and walking service on Rover and let me tell you, she's amazing and the real deal.  From the moment I met Peggy, it was clear that she adores dogs. Her genuine love and care for my puppy shined effortlessly and my pup instantly fell head over paws for her. I actually needed her services on a tight schedule and her flexibility stood out to me. She was there for me when I had to make a sudden trip out of town. No fuss, no drama—just pure reliability. Peggy also paid attention to every little detail. She asked all the right questions about my dog's routine, habits, and favorite toys and made sure to stick to his usual schedule! So, if you're on the lookout for a reliable, loving, and trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker, Peggy is an absolute gem! I genuinely can't wait to book her services again! -Love, a happy pup mommy.

William was THE BEST. We had our usual sitter cancel last minute and William came to the rescue and was great with our 10 month old puppy. He was extremely communicative and sent us updates throughout the weekend while he was staying at our place. We will absolutely be reaching out to William to watch Gus again!
