“Kaya did a perfect job with Atlas and was very communicative! I felt very good about leaving because I knew Kaya would make sure Atlas was taken care of! Will definitely be rebooking in the future! :)”
“Becca was amazing with both of my cats! I really appreciated how much she catered to their different needs and was able to make more shy cat feel comfortable enough to make an appearance and my more social cat entertained with her favorite things! Her communication and pics were just what I needed to give me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend!”
About: I have fifteen years of pet sitting and care experience, to include drop-ins, walks, feedings, litter box cleaning and overnight stays. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian, and then a zoologist. Neither career panned out, but my love for animals remained. Now I get my fill of furry friends by providing excellent, worry-free care for your pets! As a proud mom of three urban hens, I know how nerve-wracking it is to be away from a beloved pet. That’s why I provide frequent updates and pictures to my clients so that they can go about their workdays or trips without anxiety. I specialize in cats, dogs and birds. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am currently freelancing part-time, which provides me with an extremely flexible schedule to care for your pets! From walks to drop-ins to overnight stays, I can provide a variety of services to DMV pet owners When in your home whether for a drop-by or overnight stay, I am committed to making your pet feel as comfortable and happy as possible in the absence of their person/people. I follow my clients’ instructions and specifics of their pets’ routines, and follow them closely. I also provide lots of love and cuddles (or love from afar for pets that don’t like to be touched!)
About: Hi there! I grew up loving dogs, in fact, my older sibling was our family German Shepard! She made sure I was safe, and I made sure she was well loved! I understand how important four-legged family members are. I will provide your fur baby with the same level of care I would want for my own. I LOVE dogs and they love me! I have owned and cared for a full range of dogs. You can feel relaxed with your pet in my care, whether a baby or mature pet, I’ve handled them all! Also, as an experienced foster mom, I am fully comfortable and capable of handling newly adopted or foster dogs, and shy/timid dogs. I have no breed or size restrictions. All furry friends are welcome! Whatever you and your pet need, I am here to help. Currently, I am focused only on dog sitting. Although I tend to schedule tasks when I am not caring for a dog, if I need to run an errand, pups are never left alone for more than one to two hours. My home is very pet friendly and safe. Your fur baby is more than welcome to hang out with me on the couch or on the bed! Let my love of pets help you feel secure in your fur baby's safety and well-being.
“Esther took great care of my elderly dog! She is so friendly, caring, and loving with my pup. She had great communication and professionalism and I would definitely book her again!”
About: I have had Airedale terriers all my life and have pet sat for friends and family for years. I am very comfortable with all dogs and I love them deeply. My experience includes caring for uneasy dogs, as all our dogs have been rescues with different challenges. This has given me patience, understanding, and the skills to handle a variety of temperaments and needs. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, attentive care to every dog I look after, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it's a playful pup or a shy rescue, I am confident in my ability to meet their unique needs and create a positive experience for them and their owners. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding. I can also easily accommodate drop-in visits and dog walking throughout the week. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I am experienced in handling rescues with different temperaments. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities.
“Andre was the best!! So attentive, always sent me photos of Freddie, and was a huge hit. He was juggling a few other pets during the same time but never made me worry about if Freddie was taken care of. THANK YOU, Andre!”
“I messaged Karsyn last minute when my other sitter fell through, and she was eager to help! She was very patient and accommodating when there were issues getting into my home. Lots of pictures of my cat happy and playing! I would recommend her help to anyone!”
“Lily was great with my cat Zoey. She took extra time to make sure Zoey had some company- she brought toys out and played YouTube videos of birds and squirrels for Zoey. My cat is not fond of strangers, but took to Lily.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.
“Very nice and professional. Amber went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were comfortable with her. Our hyper pitbull puppy wasn't to much for her. Both dogs took a liking to Amber immediately. Both were fighting for her attention. My wife and I definitely will use Amber again.”
“hillary did a great job with my three kitties! :) she also went above and beyond and helped me out with my litter robot that was having problems. would definitely trust her and book her in the future!”
About: I grew up in a home that was constantly fostering dogs, puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and everything in between. Over the years, I’ve helped care for shy rescues, energetic puppies, senior hospice dogs, big breeds, little breeds, and pets needing extra patience and structure. Through fostering and daily care, I gained experience reinforcing training routines, reading canine body language, and handling dogs respectfully based on their individual needs and comfort levels. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m experienced with: • Dog walking • Cat sitting • Overnight pet care • High energy dogs • Senior pets • Rescue animals & anxious pets • Reinforcing basic training routines • Reactive or dog selective dogs • Multi pet households I’m active, reliable, calm under pressure, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I understand that not every dog wants to greet people or other dogs on walks, and I’m always mindful of giving pets the space, structure, and calm environment they need to feel comfortable and safe. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, consistency, or just someone dependable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’ll be available in Arlington, VA, this summer and in San Diego this fall, and I have reliable transportation. My goal is simple: make your pets feel safe, loved, exercised, and happy, and make you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I am in Arlington, VA, for the summer and in San Diego for college during the fall! I work part-time over the summer for the St.James ice hockey program. Starting June 15th, I will only be free after 4 pm on weekdays and at any time on weekends. I will be available to stay overnight on weekends. I have experience in caring for animals with a variety of personalities. I have adopted many animals over the years, and my most recent dog is a Belgian Malinois! He is full of energy and likes going on runs, walks, playing fetch, and anything that involves hours of constant activity. I have had dogs ranging from 3-week-old puppies to a 160-pound mastiff. I have had cats all my life and have bottle-fed multiple litters. I enjoy working with local animal shelters and would love to let your animal steal my heart 😊
“Juno loved Larissa. Larissa is kind and caring. Juno can be stubborn and Larissa catered to her needs. Larissa communicated promptly. I look forward to our next booking with Larissa.”
About: Hello, my name’s Alexa! I have six years of experience looking after and working with animals. I started with helping with my friends’ pets before moving to the apps care/wag. I’ve worked with plenty of cats, puppies, elderly dogs, high energy/reactive dogs and plenty others. I’ve administered oral and injectable medications to both dogs and cats and even a lizard. I’m detail oriented and focused, so I’ll follow your directions thoroughly and with so much love given to your critters. I’d love to be considered for your pet-sitting needs! I currently work part time as a bartender, so i’m around most mornings and afternoons! I’m not home too late from my job most nights. When i’m in a client’s home, I try to make the animals as comfortable with me as possible. I don’t make a lot of noise and I stick to their schedule as much as I can.
About: I grew up with a beautiful Jindo girl, who crossed over the rainbow bridge when she was 15 in 2020. My brother and I had saved up our allowances for over a year and a half in a red IKEA piggybank, until we hit our goal of a whopping $350! We were both obsessed with Jindo (a traditional Korean dog) and we convinced our dad to drive us 8 hours (one-way) to pick her up. One year ago, my brother got a new dog, a goofy and playful sliver lab, and she reminded me how much I loved being around dogs! I love building a strong relationship with dogs through fun walks and also spending good quality time with them cuddling on the couch. Although the schedule can change week by week, I do have a (somewhat) flexible schedule as a medical student! I would probably prefer day time walks and/or dog sitting throughout the week days. I live in an apartment with a nice area to take dogs on walks! I can also come to your home to dog sit or walk your dog.
The Palisades pet parents share their Rover experiences
Reyhan was wonderful! She took excellent care of our two cats when we travelled for 10 days. At each check-in she not only took basic care of our cats but also played with them, shared adorable photos, and alerted us early about potential issues with their energy levels or food. They turned out to be just fine, but we appreciated knowing that they were being cared for by someone who was so attentive. We felt at ease when we were on our vacation. Thank you, Reyhan!
