Personalized care for your dog or cat - Washington, D.C.

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Washington, D.C.
“Lia’s communication is always on point! Charlie and I recently moved to DC and looking for a new sitter. Lia was honestly the best sitter for Charlie! She went above and beyond for Charlie even accommodated to his spoiled picky eating behavior 😂. Honestly I want to gate keep Lia but I think everyone deserves to have a sitter like her.”

“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”

“I’d definitely book with Christian again. She took great care of my dog. Sent pictures everyday and was very attentive during my dog’s stay. Sometimes with other Rover stays, my dog acts differently or shy for a few days. My dog was in perfect spirits after her stay with Christian.”

“Stephanie and Luis did an amazing job dog sitting! Communication was great from start to finish, and they kept me updated with pictures, which really put my mind at ease. They were so welcoming and even created a special space in their home for Coco and Chloe. I’d definitely trust them and rebook again!”

“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”

“Abigal was very kind with Chiquita, responsive and very communicative with pictures and daily updates on how she was doing. She accommodated a late arrival and a last minute change in pickup, and her care for my pup was visible. Great sitter and would gladly book again!”

“McKinley was the best sitter we could’ve had! She was able to accommodate to a last minute request. She sent frequent updates and my pup felt so comfortable in her house with her other pets. 10/10 best sitter in the area!”

“Shaela did a great job caring for Astro on his 10 day stay with her and her pup, Luna. She was patient with his finnicky eating habits and tried her best to get him to eat. Luna and Astro coexisted peacefully during the stay, with no issues reported. Shaela sent a couple of photos and provided updates every couple of days. The neighborhood is busier than what Astro is accustomed to which scared him, but he eventually grew comfortable. I would leave Astro with Shaela and Luna again!”

“Rut was absolutely phenomenal! I could sense her expertise from her well-crafted profile page. I have specific care instructions for my dog, and when I dropped him off before my trip, I noticed that Rut had already printed out the document to have a hard copy on hand. Throughout the day, she sent several updates with all the details I requested, confirming that she was diligently following my dog’s routine. Rut’s kindness and clear experience as a caregiver were evident in every interaction.”

“Katherin is the absolute best!!!! She went absolutely above and beyond caring for Hugo. She took him on lots of fun adventures everyday, including to nearby coffee shops, dog parks, and long walks to Georgetown. She also attended to an unexpected medical need and sent detailed updates everyday, which gave me such peace of mind. Thank you Katherin, Hugo was so lucky to have such a fun vacation with you!”

“Love Beth T and Bastien for taking great care of my DogBaby! She sent pics every day and loved on him as much as he would allow. I love that her DogBaby shared and played with Atticus! Atti was in great hands. I highly recommend Beth T especially if your Frenchie needs someone great to care for him! Thanks Beth and Bastien❤️❤️”

“Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.”

“Supon is an excellent dog sitter. Obviously my dog Teddy had a great time under his good care. He also sent pics of Teddy everyday (several times), and therefore, I could know how my dog was doing. I will definitely ask him to take care of Teddy again. Thank you so much.”

“Joe was very accommodating and took excellent care of Benji. He kept me updated and made the entire experience worry free. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Erin watched Kiwi and Belsh for a couple of days and they had a great time! Erin was super communicative, sending pictures and updates, and was flexible with timing on pick up and drop off. We would use her again in the future!”

About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”

“Vania was a great cat sitter. She was very flexile and made sure I was comfortable with everything. As a result, I felt very comfortable leaving my cat with her and I had peace of mind knowing she was taking care of her. My cat seemed very happy and I will definitely book with Vania again.”

“Priscilla was so great taking care of my cat Ivy while I was gone! This was my first time leaving her so I was a bit nervous, but Priscilla put my mind at ease! She was proactive, super communicative, and sent great updates (including photos). She even let me know that there were going to be storms in DC and asked if there was anything she could do to make Ivy more comfortable. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter and hope to be able to book with her again!”

“Nicholas was a joy to work with. Super reliable, would use the app appropriately, and would send comments and pics after every visit. Would definitely use their services again!”


About: I am pursuing my masters and have daily availability, I would love to spend time with your fur baby. I have experience caring for both independent and highly social cats. During drop-in visits, my routine includes thorough litter box scooping, refreshing food/water bowls, and interactive playtime or quiet companionship depending on your cat's mood. I often turn on the tv with a sleep timer for some background noise, which can help with loneliness and calm stress when there are noises outside. Please let me know about any quirks or needs your cat has. I cannot book any cats that display aggressive behaviour.

“Maureen was very responsive to my questions and sent pictures of our cat Winnie. She was very flexible with pickup and drop off times. We were very comfortable leaving Winnie with her for 4 days!”

“Hallie is a wonderful sitter every time! Her thorough reports, tons of photos, and friendliness makes her super easy to communicate with. She is always adaptable and treats my cat Ponzi like a king. I completely recommend her for anyone who needs a lovely, responsible, and respectful cat sitter!”

“Callen was able to accommodate a bit of a last minute trip - we truly appreciate her flexibility! She did a great job and our kitties were happy and well cared for while we were out of town.”

About: I grew up caring for my own dog Daisy! I was responsible for feeding her, walking her, and washing her. I also have experience pet-sitting both cats and dogs for 5+ consecutive days. As a recent graduate from George Washington University, I have lots of availability to take care of your pets! I’m very flexible and accept booking on short notice. I approach animal care with a deep care for their safety and health, along with a sense of playfulness for their physical activity and fun. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets!
About: Hi, my name is Sofi! I work from home full-time, which allows me to spend plenty of time with pets. I’ve grown up with animals and have loved being around them my whole life. Since moving to the U.S., friends and people in my social circle have trusted me to pet sit, house sit, and take care of their pets, including dog walking. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex in a very walkable area, close to parks and green areas, perfect for daily walks and playtime. While I don’t have pets of my own, I truly enjoy their company and the joy, energy, and good moments they bring. I’m offering my services on Rover because I love spending time with pets and can provide them with attentive care while I work from home. I’m flexible on cost and cancellations. I’m happy to answer any questions or provide more details about me, you can reach out anytime, and I usually respond quickly. I work from home full-time, which allows me to easily integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is generally flexible, so I can take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed, ensuring they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day.

“Thank you for taking care of Bluegrass! Zach was a great sitter, he communicated very well and did an amesome job at taking care of our cat and keeping her medicine schedule consistent. Would recommend booking!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own baby, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, so I always make it my priority to give them attention, affection, and gentle care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable. I make time throughout my day for feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, cuddles, and giving pets attention so they never feel ignored or lonely. I’m very organized and dependable, so I’m able to stick to each cat’s routine and provide consistent care, updates, and affection throughout the week. I am currently a full time student but I am home from school so I am fully free When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean litter box, playtime, affection, and a calm environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs so I can make sure they are happy, healthy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m very respectful of both the pet and the home, and I believe trust, communication, and reliability are extremely important. I also provide updates and photos for reassurance so owners can feel at ease knowing their fur baby is in loving hands. If your babies were to come to my House then I have a quiet home and space and I also have a dog park for play time
About: I have owned dogs as well as baby sat friends and family’s dog. What sets me apart from other sitters is I have spent numerous hours working in animal shelters and other pet rescue places. Therefore, I have worked with pets of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and personalities. Due to this experience, I have can adapt and understand your animal’s needs very quickly. Currently I am very flexible with when and where I can incooperate pet care into my schedule. I am in the process of applying to grad school so most of my time is spent at home working. I care for pets in both my home and clients home, by first understand the underlying personality of the pet. In doing so, I can better gauge what the pet will need from me to feel safe and happy. I walk the dogs regularly and also have multiple toys and space to play with them. With my experience in shelters I understand pet hygiene, and I also can spot certain medical needs the pet is experiencing that I need to tend to. Overall, my goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as they would at their home. They become my fur baby for the time they are with me, and I will protect them, play with them, and take care of them like they are my own.
“Vernon took lovely care of our boy! He was communicative, timely and flexible. He took our request at the last minute and adjusted to our schedule. He is efficient and I could tell that our boy had a good time. This was our first time using Rover and he gave us the peace of mind. We will definitely be using him again!”

“Once again, Christian knocked it out of the park! Jo Jo and Corduroy were thrilled to learn they were going back to their friend’s house today and they can’t wait to go back. Thank you for your excellent care today, Christian!”

“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”

“Amanda did such a fantastic job with my super sweet but typically chaotic puppies! She kept them engaged all day and was very patient with their potty training ups and downs. Amanda was responsive to messages, sent lots of great pictures and updates, and gave me piece of mind that they are in good hands while I had to work.”

“This is the first time that Nina has watched Roxi, and I am hoping it will not be the last! Nina was very flexible on time. Sent photos during the day. I couldn't be happier!”

I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day.

About: Hello! I love spending time around dogs. I have a 9 year old golden retriever named who is the light of my life. I have helped take care of my friends dogs and senior dogs as well. When it comes to dog walking, I also love to make sure dogs are not only getting their exercise in, but experiencing new surroundings on their walk. I currently WFH so I am able to tailor my schedule to when your pets need my services! However, early mornings, evenings and lunch time are usually the most open times for me. While Im not offering services for room and board, I do live in a pet friendly apartment with pet friendly amenities, if there is a need to bring your pet home with me.

About: I grew up with cats and have grown to love dogs. I had my own cat for 13 years before he passed over the Rainbow Bridge. I love to care for my friends' pets! But with an open home, I'm ready to treat your best friend like my new best friend! I've taken care of cats and dogs extensively throughout my life including providing medication at regular intervals. I've also looked after snakes, turtles, and geckos, but I don't have any equipment to house them. But I love all animals whether fuzzy, furry, or scaly! I live in downtown DC in an apartment building close to several parks. I have a hybrid office job but live a short walk away from my office, so it's easy for me to swing back home whenever is necessary. I regularly catsit and dogsit for friends, but currently don't have any pets of my own. I respect animals autonomy, but always prefer to play, cuddle, or walk with the pets. They'll have full access to my apartment. They're welcome on furniture and if they prefer to hang out solo, that's okay, too. They'll still get the same love and attention, just from a few feet away.

I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I walk my own dog through the neighborhood daily and would love to help nearby dog parents get their pup out the house during the day with a pal. I pick up your dog and allow your pup to get acquainted with my dog before we take a nice long walk, up to an hour. In the front door or yard and out, quickly!

About: I have cared for animals in many different capacities for many years. Whether it be my own dogs, friends, family, or neighbors pets I am well equipped for pet sitting and dog walking!

I am currently working Monday through Friday but I am available in the morning, evening and anytime on weekends for any pet care you need! While I am unable to house your pets in my own home, I believe making sure your pet is comfortable at ease in their space is most important. For me this looks like following the instructions you set out clearly to make sure both you and your pet receives the quality service you both deserve!

“Jada and Naz walked our two poodle mixes at 10pm every night while my husband was out of town for 18 nights. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive, but they were able to work with her kindly and effectively. They had very good communication and were good-spirited even when it was raining.”

“It’s no wonder Jenna is a star sitter! As a first-time Rover user, I was extremely jittery leaving my pup with a stranger. But all nerves were quickly abated thanks to Jenna’s regular updates and photos. She was mindful of my senior dog’s ailments, quirks, and tendencies. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter- highly recommend!”

“This was our first time using Ruth so I was a little nervous. From the moment she met Maxi you could tell she was a dog lover. Maxi looked happy wiggling hair tail into the dog park alongside Ruth. Communication was 10/10, videos and pictures everyday as well as a daily update. When we picked Maxi up she was happy! I would highly recommend Ruth, and well definitely be using care services again 🐶🤗”

“Jackalyn did great with Wilbur, who needs a lot of exercise and stimulation ;). She was responsive, kind and helpful in coordinating drop off and pick up. And she sent pictures and updates on how he was doing the whole time we were gone! 10/10 will work with Jackalyn again!”

“Charnetta and her family were amazing! They made me feel very comfortable for my first time using the service. It is clear that they are genuine fur baby lovers!

“Lara was amazing! Great communication, kept our dog so entertained and active, and was so easy to schedule drop off and pick up. 10/10 will be booking with Lara again! 😊”

“Rodrigo was a lifesaver on multiple occasions in just a few short days - accepting a frantic last minute booking I had when some plans fell through and being very patient and helpful dealing with unexpected travel delays on my return. Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!”

About: Hi! I'm Krista and I genuinely love spending time with dogs and have lots of experience taking care of them. I recently said goodbye to my sweet and quirky 12‑year‑old German Shepherd. Caring for her throughout the years has given me experience with all the different stages from energetic pups to the oldies with mobility challenges and slower routines. My shepherd struggled with anxiety around other dogs, so I’m very familiar with reading body language, creating safe distance, and keeping walks calm and controlled. Throughout the years, I have cared for and spent ample time with doggos belonging to friends and family members and look forward to the opportunity to give others peace of mind when they need to leave their loved ones. Lots of walks, pets, play time and of course, photos/videos for owners! I work from home so there are lots of opportunities to go outside. There are a few parks nearby and lots of grassy areas. I also have dog beds, dishes and plenty of toys! Please note, my building unfortunately has restrictions on the following dog breeds: Akita, Alaskan Malamutes, Chow Chow, Doberman Pinscher, Malamute, Pit Bull Breeds, Presa Canarios, Rottweiler, Staffordshire Terrier and Wolf Dogs. I live in a condo building but there's lots of areas outside to venture around! I do own a crate if needed/preferred. I will bring your dog on many walks and ensure they have lots of play time (for the youngins) and rest (for the oldies) :)
