“Brianne took great care of our shy chihuahua mix! She was very responsive over text and sent us plenty of photos. We would definitely book Brianne again and recommend her services!”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Our very social and attention-craving lab mix loved his stay with Natalia and Edward. We were out of town for seven days and received adorable pictures of him playing with their dog, lounging in the living room, or romping with the family. We especially liked the big backyard that allows for built-in outdoor space and the very walkable neighborhood which allowed for going further afield. It was clear they perfectly understood what our Milo needed and were more than happy and ready to accommodate. Relieved we’ve found a go-to Rover we’d be happy to use again. Highly recommend.”
“Evan and his wife stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Kobi for the weekend - and not only did they agree, but they were so enthusiastic it felt like I was doing them a favor and not the other way around! Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”
“Our pup stayed with Chad and his wife for two weeks while we visited family. It went absolutely smoothly with no issues. We will definitely reach out to Chad the next time we go away.”
“Shaela was AMAZING!!!!!! Very last minute I had to go to the hospital and she was able to take my sweet boy for the weekend. She communicated well and followed directions of care!! My sweet boy came home happy and healthy. Thank you Shaela!!!!”
“Erin was caring and wonderful to our dog. She gave us frequent updates which we really appreciated. We will definitely use Erin again as Millie was so happy when we picked her up. A+ +”
“Colleen took wonderful care of our cockapoo for 3 days. She sent photos several times and provided photos. She also was able to give some eyedrops several times per day that our dog required. My dog seemed content and well cared for. Thank you.”
“We always love booking with Alex and Daniel! They provide us with frequent updates and are incredibly responsive. Our dog seems like she is right at home at their place.”
“Francis had a great time. Austin and Majid were extremely flexible and great at communication. We will definitely be looking to use them again. Thanks!”
“Haydenn took great care of JenniFUR! She’s currently in an anxious stage where new friends and places can seem overwhelming, but Haydenn made her feel right at home!”
“Kamille was absolutely wonderful for my dog Bella. We did a virtual meet and greet & I immediately felt comfortable with having her care for Bella. Though it was a weekend stay, I believe Bella had a great time. Kamille was consistent in sending updates, videos, and was so thorough and responsive. She even gave me a goodie bag with a pic of Bella at the park, that I thought was a nice touch. I’ve been looking for a go-to dog sitter close to me, and I think I just found her!”
“Sonia was the best sitter for my dog. She was so sweet and understanding from the moment we met. She kept me updated with Kleo's day and sent plenty of pictures. I will definitely book again, thank you Sonia for taking care of my baby!”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“Johanna was awesome! She was super communicative and easy going. I know Louis loved staying with her and Panda, and I would absolutely have her watch him again.”
“I board Winston with Michael every time I go out of town. I get pictures of all of the activities they do together and all of the new doggy friends Winston makes. I feel entirely confident that my dog is getting the best care when I’m away.”
“Our best Rover.com experience yet! Jeneffer and her family were such wonderful hosts to Oliver and Lulu, and she totally "got" my quirky dogs! When I came to pick them up at the end of their 6 day stay, typically nervous Lulu was as comfortable as if she were at her own home, and Oliver who is pretty much comfortable anywhere, had clearly been loved and snuggled all week. They were so happy I almost felt bad taking them with me! We can't wait for our next stay with Jeneffer and family! ”
“Cal and Kelly are amazing sitters. Bodie had a great time at their place. Lots of snuggling and playing with their two friendly dogs. We received lots of pictures and videos so always knew he was doing great. We will definitely use them again.”
“Andy was a wonderful sitter! We are so thankful for his detail of care. He even noticed that our pups harness was a bit too small and got her a new one. So thankful to know we can go out of town and leave her in good care.”

About: Growing up, I have had one cat, I named Halo. His mother, who was hit by a car, was saved by my aunt and later discovered to be pregnant. One of the kittens happened to be my wonky tail friend, Halo!
“Luisa was the perfect cat sitter while I was away for two weeks! She took great care of my (very attention-demanding) cat, including brushing and playing with him on top of making sure his food and litter needs were met. She sent adorable pictures the whole time so I knew he was in good hands, and when I got home, he was way more relaxed than he has ever been before after I'm away. Clearly he loved Luisa's visits :).”
“Ashley has been so great and flexible with us! We really appreciate her taking care of our cats and I think the cats appreciate her too. She always gives detailed updates and lots of love to our pets while we’re away. We also appreciate her booking a very last minute pet sitting gig with us and dealing with the logistics of our apartment building. She is a great pet sitter and a great help to us!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for the past five years. I am comfortable with dogs of any size. I have experience working with cats & dogs of all ages and am comfortable giving them medications. I volunteer with Lucky Dogs currently as a dog handler at events. Additionally, I volunteered for the Williamson County Animal Shelter through high school and undergrad, walking dogs as well as socializing and providing enrichment for cats. I have ample experience with stray/spicy kitties! I currently have a very flexible hybrid job and attend night university classes three days a week. Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends are my most open days of the week. I am pretty flexible and want your dog or cat to be as comfortable as possible :). If I am not staying at the home, I can stop by a minimum of three times a day. Once between 8am to 9am, once between 12pm and 1pm, and once after 4pm (can vary times as needed). During the evenings, I can stay longer to allow your pet(s) more playtime and/or be taken for a walk. My schedule is pretty flexible! *CONSTANT CARE POLICY FOR HOUSESITTING MORE THAN 24 HOURS* *this policy does not apply to drop-ins or housesitting for less than 24 hours* *constant care is a premium service and will not apply to all bookings* If your pet has a medical or non-medical reason(s) for which they require constant care, the sitter maintains the right to modify the house-sitting request rate to reflect the change in care up to an additional $50 per night per animal requiring constant care. Additional pets that do not require constant care will reflect the normal Additional Pet rate (found in services tab). Constant Care is a premium service designed for pets that cannot be left alone for medical or non-medical reasons. This includes animals who have accidents overnight or if the sitter leaves for more than 5 hours for the duration of the booking dates. Services include but are not limited to oral medication administration, assisted movement, assisted feedings, comfort, and companionship needs. Other requirements can be discussed before confirming/payment is made. I currently have a very flexible hybrid job and take night classes three times a week. I can customize and work with whatever your pet's needs may be! In the client's home, I am happy to do whatever your pet needs to keep with their routine! I am also an avid crocheter, so if your pet loves a snuggle buddy or someone in the house to hang out with, I am more than happy to be that!
“Brittani was absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive to everything we'd outlined and gave us tons of pictures of our cat with her daily update. Plus, she was so friendly and easy to communicate with. We'd definitely use Brittani again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and my family has always owned extra-large breeds — including our current gentle giant, who weighs 130 lbs! Because of that, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every pet has different needs, whether they’re playful and energetic or shy and routine-oriented. I am a recent law school graduate and I'll be taking time off this summer to study for the bar exam, which gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and sitting services. I can easily fit my study schedule around your pet’s needs to make sure they get reliable, attentive care and lots of love while you’re away. I care for pets by being attentive to their individual needs and personalities. I love engaging with animals — whether that means giving them lots of affection and attention, going on walks, playing, or simply making sure they get fresh air and stimulation throughout the day. At the same time, I understand that every pet is different. Some are highly social, while others are more independent and prefer their own space. I always strive to respect each pet’s comfort level and routine while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy in my presence.
“Michael is an AMAZING cat sitter! He knows how to interact with our deaf cat and understands her like no other cat sitter we've had. This was our second time booking him and both time we've come home to happy cats! He handles their complicated routines very well, gives medicine without a problem, and even makes time to play. He takes the time to figure out what makes the cats happy. And he takes good pictures. We appreciate having him nearby when we need a cat sitter!”
“Daria was super attentive to our energetic boy and shy girl. I appreciate her photos, thorough check-ins, and the ability to tire out our rambunctious little one while also giving attention to our older cat. Great job and would book again!”
“Karrah did an amazing job with Comet and Victoria! She communicated in detail with each visit, and was able to problem solve when needed. Comet absolutely loved the attention and care Karrah provided, which could be seen in his photos. Victoria was not as appreciative of her care, but Karrah did everything possible to make her comfortable. I will absolutely reach out to Karrah again in the future to see if she would like to work together again!”
“LP was super flexible and willing to brave my cat's slightly complex/intimidating medical care needs (manually emptying his bladder via low profile cystostomy tube) on short notice. Would definitely book them again and recommend to others!”
About: Unfortunately I am very allergic to long hair domestics so no overnight stays, but I have helped take care of several cats for short visits; plus, a kitty of my own. I especially have experience working with newly adjusting cats or recent surgery cats.
“Victoria unfortunately had to deal with my kitty passing away while I was away. She acted quickly and took him to the vet where he could be held until I returned the next day. I am grateful for her help and resolve to do the right thing.”
“Juna took great care of our cats while we were out of town for the holiday! She was very thorough in making sure she knew all the details to best care for our girls and was very communicative throughout her stay with pictures and updates along the way. Will definitely be booking again with her when we can!”
“Larquana is super reliable, responsive, and caring. My mind is at ease when I’m away on travel. Thank you Larquana! I will be contacting you for all future needed care!”

“Brianne was absolutely amazing with Chai! She kept me consistently updated throughout the day with details about Chai’s walks, feeding times, and overall behavior, which gave me so much peace of mind. The pictures she sent were the highlight of my day — it was clear that Chai was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. It really seemed like she enjoyed her time at daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be booking with Brianne again!”
“Antonio is very calm and has a lovely home for your fur baby to enjoy while staying there. Barklee came home exhausted which usually means he had lots of fun.”
“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: Hi, I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals throughout my life. Growing up surrounded by pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each animal's unique personality and needs. Today, I work in healthcare, where compassion, attentiveness, and trust are at the core of everything I do. I bring those same qualities to every dog I care for, ensuring they receive safe, reliable, and loving attention while you're away. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, extra companionship, or a caring friend to keep them active and happy, you can count on me to treat them like family. Dog walking is a regular part of my weekly schedule, and I prioritize providing dependable, consistent care for every dog. I carefully plan my day to accommodate scheduled walks, ensuring each pet receives appropriate exercise, attention, and outdoor time based on their individual needs. I maintain clear communication with pet owners, arrive on time, and provide updates when requested. My goal is to ensure every walk is safe, enjoyable, and beneficial for the dog's physical and mental well-being. I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog's energy level and needs. I ensure they get exercise, mental stimulation, water when needed, and plenty of positive reinforcement during our time together
About: I have loved animals all my life and grew up surrounded by cats, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I have a calm and positive energy that helps me connect with animals, and I enjoy playing with them as much as keeping them safe and comfortable. I’m patient, caring, and responsible, always paying attention to each pet’s unique needs. In my free time, I enjoy reading, which also means I’m happy to spend quiet moments with pets who like calm company. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to manage my time easily and dedicate attention to pet care. This way, I can adapt my routine around the pets’ needs, whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I have experience caring for dogs in the home of friends and family, and I naturally connect with animals. I pay close attention to their needs, whether they want affection, playtime, or simply some space to relax. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, keeping their routines consistent and giving them plenty of love and care.
“Stephanie and Shawn are amazing! They’re an incredibly warm and hospitable family with three amazing pets that my beagle seemed to love. I felt that my pup was incredibly safe and comfortable, 15/10!”
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since I was a child. I’ve owned an Airedale terrier, a pug, a Russian terrier, and my family currently has a Japanese spitz. I’ve got all sorts of experience - I have adopted a doggie from a shelter before, and I’ve also raised my two pups from 3 months old until they passed a few months ago at ages 14 and 16. I’ve boarded dogs - I looked after a friend’s pug for a week, a family friend’s elderly golden retriever, and fostered a stray my sister and I rescued before someone adopted her. I’ve taken road trips with multiple pets, and flown across the country with 3 of my dogs, I’ve taken them to all sorts of vet appointments, and been with them through all stages of their lives. I’m on this platform looking for company to heal from losing my furry friends, because being around dogs brings me peace and joy. I am a performing artist and I travel a lot for concerts, so having my own pet is unfortunately not feasible at the moment, hence I decided that taking care of someone else’s furry babies while I’m home between performances is the second best thing:) You can rest assured that I’ll take great pleasure in taking care of them and having them in my home. I work from home during the day and I am home from evening until morning, too. I do however step out for errands and appointments. Your dog will be with me most of the time while staying in my home, walked 2-3 times and fed on schedule, but should be comfortable being on its own for 2-3 hours max, if I have things to do. If your doggie has severe separation anxiety and is unable to be alone at all, I can accommodate that with enough notice and for 2x my normal nightly rate. I’ve always let my dogs run free around the house and make a safe space for them where they liked, but I did crate my rescue doggie when he first arrived to slowly acclimate him to the new place. Whatever you prefer for your dog is fine by me and I’m happy to accommodate. I don’t have a yard, but I have plenty of green areas nearby where I’d walk your furry pal. I keep my dogs on leash at all times. I like training them and playing with them to give them some mental stimulation, but if they prefer to chill and not be bothered I’m cool with that as well
“Grette has taken care of our puppy for the past two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s kind, reliable, and our puppy comes home happy and tired every time. Great communication, flexible scheduling, and amazing help with puppy training- plus the sweetest attention to details like daily brushing. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!”
“Michael is always reliable, this my second rover experience with michael and he’s always on top of communication, sending me photos of sevyn, asking any questions he might have. He’s honestly been such a big help on days I need someone to take care of sevyn even if it’s last minute”
“Caleb was absolutely fantastic with my pup Avi, who, at 15, is very sweet but can be a bit stubborn. But he took to Caleb immediately, following behind him with his tail a-wagging! In addition to being so great with my dog, Caleb was incredibly responsive, polite, and had great energy.”
About: Based in Petworth/Brightwood Park in NW DC, I am a lifelong animal lover and professional pet care provider with 15+ years of experience. I founded my own dog walking business in DC in 2009 and have built a loyal client base on one thing: treating every dog like my own. Experienced with all sizes and temperaments, I maintain my own professional liability insurance for your peace of mind. I share my home with two miniature pinschers of my own, so I understand what it means to leave a dog you love in someone else's hands. I work remotely, which means I am home and attentive throughout the day. Boarding dogs are never left alone for extended periods. They get regular outdoor time in our fully fenced yard, midday walks, and plenty of attention morning, afternoon, and evening. I require a meet-and-greet prior to all first-time bookings. Please reach out at least 5 to 7 days before your requested stay. Returning clients are welcome to book with 48 hours' notice. For holiday weekends, I recommend reaching out 2 to 3 weeks in advance as spots fill quickly. Pickup and drop off are available upon request for an additional fee. Please message me with your location for a quote. I serve clients in Northwest DC and surrounding neighborhoods. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priority. Boarding guests have a dedicated first-floor living space with access to a large deck and a fully fenced yard for secure off-leash time throughout the day. I maintain my own professional liability insurance for added peace of mind. My home is dog-proof and calm. I do not overbook, keeping the number of guests small so every dog gets individualized attention. I provide regular photo and message updates throughout every stay, so you always know your pup is happy and well cared for.
“I felt very confident my dog was being very well-looked after. Cassidy sent me frequent photos and updates and seemed very happy to have my dog. I will definitely contact Cassidy the next time I need daycare of boarding.”
“When we arrived to drop our dog off with Michael for the second time, she leapt and cried with joy to see him. That's how happy she is spending time w him. We couldn't be happier. Thank you, Michael!”
“Joey did a fantastic job to take great care of my 7-year-old labrador who had a bit of separation anxiety. I am so grateful with Joey to accept the last minute request after a brief meet up. I would love to use his services again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Joey for your flexibility and patience with Meimei!”
“Josefa was wonderful with our dog Toby (mini schnauzer, 8 yrs old, 30 lbs) when she looked after him for the day. She was so warm, welcoming, communicative, and made sure that Toby was comfortable while in her care. Toby was super relaxed when we picked him up, which is a great sign. We're so glad to have found Josefa and will absolutely reach out again for doggy day care. Highly recommended! :)”
“Chad and Regina were very accommodating and flexible in helping tend to my pup’s first dog sit. Feeling at ease to leave her in their good hands in the future!”
“I was really impressed with Jason N. and can't recommend him highly enough! My pup is a shy rescue with separation anxiety, but she immediately felt right at home at Jason N.'s and was having so much fun with the wonderful resident dog that she barely noticed when I left. I received regular updates on her day that completely assuaged any concerns I'd normally have, and when I picked her up at the end of the day I found her happy, relaxed, and all played-out. Having someone I really trust to watch Stella is an immense piece of mind, and I'll definitely be calling Jason N. next time I need a sitter.”

“Michael was fantastic. We had to work through a couple hiccups at the beginning of the week and Michael was super easy going and accommodating. He took Luna for a weeks worth of great walks around the neighborhood while our house was a little short staffed - we will 100% reach out to book him again!”
About: Growing up with three dogs, I have learned not only that different dogs have their own lifestyle and personality, but also different feeding habits and behaviors. My clef pallet pup, Daisy, has taught me that patience can lead to happiness and learning with all kinds of dogs. As a recent high school graduate, I am available all summer to care for your furry friends. As I prepare for college, I am building my savings to have a successful first year! Growing up, I have had dogs of different sizes, from teacup size to 50+ pounds. Not only do I have experience with tricky behavioral dogs, but also pups with disabilities, such as clef pallets.
About: I have raised three dogs through puppyhood, adulthood, and seniorhood (a pointer/border collie mix, Weimaraner/greyhound mix, and a Westie). I have been trained in puppy obedience and clicker training and pride myself on being able to work with any dog-- from anxious, temperamental pups, to rowdy balls of energy, to silly couch potatoes-- I am here to keep your fur baby happy, healthy, and safe in your absence. In addition to my own dogs, I have had the privilege of caring for countless other friends' and neighbors' dogs and cats, and since moving to DC from California have been volunteering at the Humane Rescue Alliance shelter as a sensitivity-minded dog walker and enrichment provider as well as a cat care provider. I love all animals and am happy to help! I am currently a full time graduate student with a very flexible schedule and available to accommodate pet check ins, walks, and additional responsibilities within my class schedule. Depending on the dog's behavior, medical history, and location I work to minimize risks to the pet's safety and remain alert and attentive to the dog's body language as well as our surroundings, regardless of whether we are outside or inside.
“We don’t usually leave my senior girl, Shadow, alone for very long, but she had to be home alone all day today. Jenny was a lifesaver—she came three times and was so thoughtful with what would make Shadow happiest during her visits. It made the day so much easier!”
About: I've had a passion caring for animals since I was little. I've cared for neighbors dogs and as I get older I've participated in vet camps, volunteered and interned at animal shelters and clinics. I'm also in college majoring in animal science to eventually become a veterinarian! Pet care is already a consistent part of my daily routine so I’m comfortable fitting walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins into my schedule. I plan my days carefully to make sure my guinea pig gets reliable attention, feed, and cuddle time. In my home, I keep my pets safe, comfortable, and on a consistent routine with food, water, cleaning, and attention. I care for my guinea pig daily, so I’m used to being responsible and attentive to pets needs. In clients homes, I follow their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and they’ve always been a huge part of my life! I had two big pups to play with and grow up with and every member of my family had some kind of fur baby, whether it was a tiny little pup, a big fluffy dog or the sweetest cat. Being around so many different pets helped me learn their different personalities and needs from an early age :) When I was about 11, my mom started walking dogs in her free time as part of her wellness journey and I was lucky enough to join her. That’s when I first discovered how much I enjoy dog walking and caring for pets. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, my sister and my two aunts do, ranging from a playful chocolate pitty to an adorable teacup poodle, so I’m still surrounded by pups regularly. At home, I have three cats that I absolutely adore!! They truly mean the world to me and are a big part of who I am. Caring for animals isn’t just something I’ve done, it’s something I genuinely love & enjoy. I can’t wait to meet and care for even more amazing fur babies! 🐾 I am a full time student at Montgomery College as a psychology & surgical tech major! I’m at the silver spring campus and live near by and have a decent amount of time through my weekdays! My kitty babies roam freely as they are all pretty mature! I try to play and entertain for 30 mins a day but sometimes it’s 15 a day, I feed them twice a day wet food only!
“Lori is a very responsible, caring dog walker! Our dog, Maggie, loves her. Not only does she give our dog a lot of love and exercise, she is also punctual and very good about following directions. I didn't even remind her to clean Maggie's paws or fill her water up and she did these things automatically. I highly recommend Lori when you are looking for a kind, responsible, dog loving person to take care of your puppy or dog. She's the BEST!!”
“Daria did a great job walking my somewhat temperamental dog. She was very reliable and he was excited to see her every day. I would be very happy using her again. Highly recommend!”
“DJ was great with my boy Vinny! She was prompt and communicative, and is clearly focused on making sure Vinny was safe and happy on their walks! I feel good knowing she comes to see him every day and give him some love and exercise.”
“What a great experience! My dog was so happy in the pics I just couldn’t believe it! Many thanks to Selam and I look forward to using her services again in the near future.”
“Larissa has been great so far with our puppy Moose. She has also been able to adapt very well to our changing schedule without ever having an issue. We appreciate how much she cares for Moose and look forward to continuing utilizing her services!”
“Megan was very professional and our pets loved her! She is very thorough with walks which we appreciate and is very friendly and trustworthy. We very much appreciated her help and the dog and the cat thank her for all the time and love she gave them. She is highly recommended to all.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, so I know the ins and outs of how to take care of them and make sure they feel loved and cared for. I have recently adopted a cat and she is my pride and joy. I hope to make your animals feel as loved when you’re away as they have made you feel loved when you’re with them. I’m back from college for the summer, so I will be available to take care of your pet whenever you need me. Nothing takes priority over the care of your animal other than sometimes my own. I love playing with animals, I will play with them until they’re too tired to play anymore. For cats, I will change the litter box whenever needed and for dogs, I will take them out at least three times a day. Your pets happiness is the most important thing to me, I want to make sure she/he is taken care of.
About: I'm a full-time professional with fairly flexible work hours. I have two dogs, a happy, healthy 12 yr old Plott-hound mix, Ollie, and a happy, energetic and loving 2 yr old husky-shepherd mix, Bella., I've watched and cared for dozens of other dogs (friends, family, etc.) over the last 15 years and am generally known as a bit of a 'dog whisperer'. I absolutely love dogs and look forward to taking exceptional care of your pet when you need to leave them in somebody else's care. Ollie, Bella, and I walk for ~4 miles every day around the neighborhood, go to dog friendly parks/fields in my neighborhood, and walks in the woods where they can run off leash. As highlighted in the pictures, Ollie and Bella readily get along with a wide variety of dogs as a walking buddy, a sleeping buddy, or a running-around-a-field buddy. If you leave your dog with us, your dog will have new canine friends, get lots of fun neighborhood walks, and have friends to cuddle up with on the couch / in their dog bed after a long-day of walking, eating, and sleeping :). I typically do two long walks each day (one between ~7-9 AM, the other sometime between 5-7 PM). Will also do a short mid-day walk and/or a short pre-bedtime walk as needed! While Ollie and Bella were crate trained as puppies, at this point they roams freely throughout the house. That said, I'm happy to host crate-trained dogs, and more than comfortable allowing your (trained!) dog to roam free throughout my home much like my pups.

“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Our very social and attention-craving lab mix loved his stay with Natalia and Edward. We were out of town for seven days and received adorable pictures of him playing with their dog, lounging in the living room, or romping with the family. We especially liked the big backyard that allows for built-in outdoor space and the very walkable neighborhood which allowed for going further afield. It was clear they perfectly understood what our Milo needed and were more than happy and ready to accommodate. Relieved we’ve found a go-to Rover we’d be happy to use again. Highly recommend.”
“Evan and his wife stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Kobi for the weekend - and not only did they agree, but they were so enthusiastic it felt like I was doing them a favor and not the other way around! Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”

“Kamille was absolutely wonderful for my dog Bella. We did a virtual meet and greet & I immediately felt comfortable with having her care for Bella. Though it was a weekend stay, I believe Bella had a great time. Kamille was consistent in sending updates, videos, and was so thorough and responsive. She even gave me a goodie bag with a pic of Bella at the park, that I thought was a nice touch. I’ve been looking for a go-to dog sitter close to me, and I think I just found her!”

“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.”
“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!”

“Ms. Charnetta and her family stole my fur baby and made him theirs. They gave him so much love and attention that after the first day with them, he made himself right at home. Seeing the pictures and videos made me feel at ease leaving him, knowing that he is wanted and appreciated, as if he is their own. I thank them so much and am so very touched.”
“Sam & Tracy took excellent care of Daisy who seemed right at home from the moment she walked through the door to the moment I came to pick her up. She enjoyed long walks and kept them company while they worked from home and did chores.She’s looking forward to her next visit! Thank you Sam & Tracy!!! ??”
“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!”
