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!

Got great update pics and feedback and Fathia had such a warm, confident and competent vibe, which is so important when you are far away. She gave Thelma the TLC she deserves and i would not hesitate to have her care for her again.

Katherin was AMAZING with Wrigley, so thoughtful and attentive. We received very thorough updates and she was quick so ask any questions she had. We had a bit of a snafu with her food and Katherin went above and beyond to make sure she had the right stuff to get through her stay. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off which made everything with Wrigley’s stay super easy! Will definitely be re-booking for any future Wrigley needs!

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.

Callen also administered meds to one of our kittens which was a real life saver. Also really appreciated that she came over for a pre-sitting meeting. She’s very communicative and punctual!

Gregory is outstanding and provided everything our little cat (and peace-of-mind) needed while we were away. He came at regular times and sent detailed updates as well as beautiful photos. In addition, he groomed her and went beyond instructions to ensure she was well-cared for. He's so easy to work with and great about following the instructions, I can't recommend him highly enough. I look forward to using him regularly and I only wish I had found him years ago!! What a wonderful peace-of-mind it is to have him around.

The stress of changing plans and canceling flights is easier when you you have someone like Priscilla on your side. A person who understands all that and will always meet you half way is priceless! I am infinitely glad and grateful that we found her in DC!

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

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!

About: Growing up with four very different dogs — two spirited Shibas, a loyal Thai Ridgeback, and a gentle giant Fila Brasileiro — taught me that every dog has their own personality, routine, and love language. I’m also currently raising my own puppy, Bailey, a playful Golden Retriever–Husky mix, so I understand firsthand the patience, structure, and attention dogs need each day — especially puppies and active breeds. 🐾 I work a flexible hybrid schedule and spend most of my time at home, so your pup will have plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly apartment building with a secure rooftop dog area, and my neighborhood is calm and walkable for relaxed sniff walks and potty breaks. I always prioritize safety, trust, and communication. I’ll follow your dog’s routine carefully, supervise walks/playtime closely, and send regular photo updates so you feel connected while away. 📸🐶 Whether your dog loves cozy naps, playful adventures, or simply having company nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. 🤍 I’m currently interning 4 days a week, with only 2 of those days spent in the office — and even then, just for about 5 hours. That means I’m home plenty to give pups attention, playtime, outdoor breaks, and company throughout the day! On my remote days and weekends, I’m fully available for walks, cuddles, and all the tail-wagging adventures. Whether your dog loves a structured routine or a relaxing day of naps and snuggles, I make sure their schedule feels comfortable and consistent while you’re away. 🐾 I’m currently home every day, which means your pup will have plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, playtime, and company throughout the day, every day. 🐾

About: My husband Galen and I have both had dogs since we were in our teens. We are both experienced in caring and loving for our pups. As a couple we have owned pets together for 13 years. We are a US Air Force Family and have been stationed in DC for the past six years. We love how the community is a dog centric town!! Galen is full remote, meaning your pup will never be alone. We currently have a bulldog named Burrito. Our miniature american eskimo named Mojo unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge in December 2024. I love our dogs so much I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your BFF to a stranger. I promise I’ll provide your pet the love and attention they want or need as if they were my own. My husband is full remote and I unfortunately am back in the office full time. Galen will be home with the pups all day. I do an early morning walk and an after work walk while he does multiple midday walks. In the evenings we both are able to take the pups on long walks. We monitor any bones given and are in close proximity during feeding time. We also continuously reinforce good behaviors by pets, praise, and treats if you allow. We only accept one dog at a time. Pups are allowed on the couch. Bundy Dog Park is across the street, if you allow for additional exercise. Your dog will receive lots of pets, praise and love while in our home!

She had several walks during the day and Jason kept me up to date with cute photos. Was very much a relief to leave Roxi in such capable hands! Would definitely try and book with Jason again!

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs since 2018. I have a friendly Double Doodle pup who can help socialize your dog and be a walking pal for him/her/them. We’re looking forward to meeting you! 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: 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.

About: I adopted a dog during the pandemic and share a cat with my husband. I grew up on a farm and would watch and care for the neighbors' animals while they were on vacation. I've been working on Rover for two years. I'm looking forward to meeting your pets and giving you some peace of mind while you're at work or on vacation. I work remotely, so I am available for housesitting, walks, and drop-ins as needed. Happy to make my schedule fit with yours! I work remotely and am available to house sit and do walks/drop ins if you live in Shaw. I am excited to talk and learn more about your animals! Please see the pet care experience section. The too long didn't read version: safety first. I love animals and treat them like my own family.

I grew up with two Bichon Frises (both lived to be 16+) and now have my own small rescue dog. I have also spent a lot of time with other dogs. I love walking, playing, and hanging out with animals. Also, I consider myself to be a responsible, hard-working, and communicative person. My schedule is flexible to walk your dog — I just need advance notice to make it work. Just let me know and I will do what I can to best care for your pet. Thank you for your consideration and let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to working with you and your pet. I am currently working part-time and flexible to walk during the day. I would love to use my free time to hang and play with your pup! I am a considerate and responsible dog sitter. I’m happy to stay overnight, take your dog on walks, and assist with any special requests for your dog.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats with various health and exercise needs for years. I grew up with pets in the home, ranging from a small King Charles to a 100+ pound sheepdog/poodle mix. I was a nanny to a family with a golden doodle puppy, and have also taken care of senior dogs with advanced needs. I prefer to come to your home and have a flexible work schedule that can allow me to pop in for walks or feedings. I can board smaller dogs if needed. I live in a one bedroom apartment right by a green space and within walking distance to the mall. I do have a car and can also work during the day from your home. I am always able to be available before 8:30am and after 5pm. During the week, I can typically work from home on Mondays and Fridays. With advanced notice, I can usually work Tuesday-Thursday from home but it depends on if I have in person meetings. Occasionally travel on the weekends but all trips are planned though the rest of the year. Not available August 7-15. I am in a one bedroom apartment with a green space outside and am within walking distance to the national mall. I can provide morning, afternoon, and evening care to your pet if at home or can check in/stay at your residence (preferred). I will provide frequent updates and pictures, will never feed your pet anything you have not specifically allowed, and I do not smoke or do any type of drug. Can also water plants, get mail, etc. I understand leaving your pet with a stranger is scary and can do what is needed to make you comfortable.

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.

Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.

Lara was so caring for our dog, Alabama. Alabama is an older Greyhound with some health issues. Lara was very accommodating for him, putting his boots on for his walk and giving him lots of rest.

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.

As always, Ruth was incredibly caring and thoughtful with my dog. She reached out when needed and was flexible for my pick up time. I highly recommend!

Elizabeth was my first sitter using Rover and she will be my go-to from now on! She took great care of my love and sent lots of photos while I was away. I'm very grateful to have found Elizabeth!

Jordan had a great time with Callen! Jordan can be very anxious and stubborn, but Callen made sure to give her the extra special care and attention she needs. Enjoyed the daily updates I received as well!
