While I was away, she took wonderful care of him and regularly sent me photos and updates, which gave me real peace of mind knowing he was happy and doing well. I would definitely recommend McKinley to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Dylan is fantastic! We booked him to watch our dog Bruno, and he went above and beyond from the very start. He was kind enough to set up a meet-and-greet a few days before our booking, which immediately gave us so much peace of mind and helped Bruno feel comfortable with him. During the stay, Dylan kept us completely updated every single morning with a detailed report of Bruno's behavior and daily routine. The photos he sent showed Bruno looking so relaxed and happy. Dylan is incredibly flexible, a great communicator, and always quick to respond to messages. I couldn't be happier knowing Bruno was in such wonderful company. I recommend Dylan 100%!”

“Izzy and Brian are fantastic sitters. Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, which is great for day trips (esp if we hit bad traffic or end up leaving later than originally planned). They send photos and videos regularly! Dzov LOVES his friend Jax and Ziggy and is always pooped out from playing so hard with those two all day. They're always my first go-to for day care/overnight stays because they're reliable, friendly, and can handle my big doggo!”
“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”
“Marta took great care of Uni, who was understandably anxious as this was his first doggy day care experience! She’s very accommodating of my schedule change and responded promptly to my messages. Thanks Marta :)”
“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
About: I've been a dog person my whole life. Our family has shared our home with everything from standard poodles to an American Eskimo, so I've handled big personalities, high-maintenance coats, smart dogs who need a job, and gentle seniors who need patience and a soft place to land. We recently lost our beloved standard poodle, and while we're not ready for another dog of our own yet, we have a lot of love with nowhere to go. We'd be thrilled to pour it into yours. Your dog will be our only pet, which means undivided attention: no competing for the couch, the yard, or the treats. Speaking of the yard, it's fully enclosed, so there's plenty of room to sniff, play, and stretch out safely, and we're an easy walk from a nearby park for longer outings. Our home also includes a dog-adoring 7-year-old who has grown up around dogs and knows how to be calm and respectful with them, and all interactions are supervised. By day I run a national nonprofit (from our home), so I'm organized, responsive, and used to being trusted with things that matter to other people. You'll get prompt replies, photo updates, and a sitter who actually follows your instructions, whether that's a medication schedule, a specific feeding routine, or a nightly belly rub quota. I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. My day has a natural rhythm that suits most dogs: a morning walk or yard time before I start work, a midday break for a potty trip and some play, and a longer walk to the park in the late afternoon once the workday winds down. In between, your dog is welcome to nap at my feet, keep an eye on the squirrels from the window, or supervise my Zoom calls. Evenings and weekends are family time, which means more play, more attention, and more couch cuddles. I'm happy to follow your dog's existing schedule for meals, medications, and bedtime, since I know routine is what helps most dogs settle into a new place quickly. Your dog's safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a fully enclosed yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and we're a short walk from several parks for longer outings, always on leash unless you've told me otherwise. I do a quick check of gates and latches before every outing, and dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside, your dog has the run of our home and is welcome on the furniture unless you'd prefer they stay off. We've never crated our own dogs, but if a crate is what makes your pup feel safe and settled, I'm happy to use one. Just bring it along with their bed, food, and anything else that smells like home.
“Sung and his family did a great job watching my dog for the afternoon. Communication was very good and they sent photo updates throughout the day. Would definitely use again.”
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.
“This was my puppy’s first time with a sitter but Christian was awesome easing his anxiety and taking great care of him. She’s very responsive, reliable , and extremely patient ! I’ll definitely be using her again.”
“I am genuinely so thankful I booked with Gil. I got so many updates throughout the day which was so appreciated and I always felt my Clyde was in good hands. My baby boy has such a wonderful time and was upset when I picked him up because he didn’t wanna leave his friends! I will absolutely be booking again.”
“Amanda was great with Rolo! She was super communicative and kept us updated with lots of photos throughout the day. Rolo came home happy and relaxed, and we really appreciated that Amanda knows dachshunds well—that was definitely a plus for us! We’d happily book with her again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up with a pug (Pumba), and dogs have continued to be a big part of my family. My dad has an adopted dog (Samba), and my sister also adopted her dog (Moka). I lived with my sister and Moka for three years, so I was very involved in her day-to-day care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. Whenever my sister traveled, I was the one she trusted to take care of Moka. I’m comfortable following a dog’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and regular potty breaks, and I can easily adjust to your pet’s usual routine. I live in an apartment in a walkable area with several parks nearby, which makes it easy to provide regular walks, outdoor time, and exercise. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine, personality, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.
“Aroa was fantastic. Great communications throughout the entire process, sent many wonderful photos over the day, and the puppy loved her & her place! Very happy with my choice.”
“Thank you Frida for stepping in at the last minute and helping me w my 3 year old toy poodle Apollo. He was totally comfortable w you and returned a happy boy. I so appreciate your help, including working w me when my timing shifted a bit.”
“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!”
“Katia was great! Very responsive and flexible in terms of arranging everything, and seemed very attentive to our pet’s needs, giving her multiple walks a day. She also sent a lot of pictures and updates which was much appreciated!”
“Asma is our senior anxious dog’s new bff! He’s always very happy and healthy when we pick him up, and Asma is a true professional - communicative, prompt, and friendly!”
“Linde was fantastic. Our normally anxious pup was calm and happy when we picked him up. He seemed to have had a great time hanging out with his new friend. We appreciated the photos Linde took too!”
“Holly was absolutely amazing with Stella! Stella can be incredibly nervous in new environments, but Holly showed so much patience and gentle care to help her settle in. She truly went above and beyond to make Stella feel safe, comfortable, and loved. It is incredible to find someone who understands anxious dogs so well. We would definitely be booking with Holly again when we are in town—highly recommend!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats, from playful puppies to shy and reactive pets. I’ve done everything from daily drop-ins to long-term house sitting and boarding in my home, so I’m confident handling different routines, temperaments, and care needs. I focus on creating a calm, reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their people are away. My goal is always to keep your pet’s schedule consistent and make their time with me feel like a second home. “I’m a full-time student, but pet care fits naturally into my routine. I can provide overnight care, morning walks, and check-ins throughout the day between classes. I’m home most days after 4 pm, so pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and consistency. On weekends, I am home full-time, lots of time for playing, naps, and going out on adventures if that fits into your pet's lifestyle! In my apartment, your pet can be crated or free-roam based on their needs. I live in an apartment and there are no other animals. All outdoor time is always on-leash and closely supervised, your pet and I can play at the park across the street, with lots of grass! My goal is to create a calm, comfortable space where your pet feels secure and cared for.
About: I am a graduate student in biology, and I really love animals! I grew up around animals and adopted my own little rescue six years ago. My dog is a tiny eight pounds. We love to spend time walking and at DC's great dog parks in addition to playing indoors and at home. In addition to my own dog, I love being around other people's animals, whether they are high energy, low energy, or somewhere in between. It would be a privilege to be entrusted to take care of your pet, whether it be through walking, boarding, or sitting. Rest assured that I will treat your pet as I do my own!! Pet care is a daily priority for me as someone with my own dog! On weekends, weather permitting, my dog and I try to get outdoors for a hike (or at least the dog park!). As someone who’s been on both sides of Rover, I understand the importance of trust when your pet is in the care of someone else! I live in a doorman apartment and have baby gates at home. When pet sitting at your home, I’m flexible to your and your pet’s needs.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs since as long as I can remember. I grew up with an English Cocker Spaniel, and I regularly take care of my friends dogs (often I ask to take care of them even when they are in town because I miss their dogs!) I love being around dogs and seeing their goofy personalities, giving them love, and watching them trust and love me back. I work in the office 4 days a week, but I am regularly around Fridays through Sundays. I can do boarding, walks, check ins, play dates. Happy to discuss your pet needs and ways to make them and you more comfortable. I am highly communicative, I always send owners pictures when I am with their dog as an update. I can take dogs on long or short walks, whatever will cause the least disruption to their routine.
About: I’ve always had cats and dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two dogs and now have two cats in the city! Can’t wait to meet your pet! Currently a student so I have a flexible schedule, so weekday drop ins and walks should be easy to schedule! Mondays and Tuesdays are my busiest days. I have two friendly cats who have regularly interacted with other cats. I would love to take dogs for long walks to help tire them out and keep them entertained!
“James was incredible with my two golden retrievers. It was a last minute request for a full week of walking them. He was patient with them even when the dogs were stubborn and not wanting to walk (as Goldens tend to do). He was always on time and gave me a full report. I highly recommend James to take care of your pups. I certainly plan too!”
About: Hi! I’m Danielle, and I’m excited to start my Rover journey! I’ve had two very special dogs in my life—a Lhasa Apso and a Yorkie—who were both loved and cared for all the way into their senior years. I loved taking them on walks, playing with them, spending time together, and making sure they always felt safe, happy, and loved. Since losing them, I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own, but I truly miss having a pup around. Rover feels like the perfect way for me to continue enjoying the companionship of dogs while giving your furry family member the attention and care they deserve. I especially have a soft spot for small dogs and would love to be their walking buddy, playmate, or companion while you’re away. Whether your pup needs a nice walk, some playtime, cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. As someone new to Rover, I’m looking forward to building trust with both you and your pet. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while they’re with me. 🐶❤️ I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work full-time in the Arlington area with a hybrid schedule, working from home 2–3 days a week. I’m also attending school part-time virtually, which gives me additional flexibility throughout the week. My schedule allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pup, especially on my work-from-home days and weekends. I live in the DC area and can be flexible with scheduling depending on your pet’s needs and location. I’m happy to work with you to establish a routine that keeps your pet comfortable, happy, and well cared for! 🐾 I live in a one-bedroom apartment with a separate den, which provides a comfortable and cozy space for your pet. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow your normal routine as closely as possible. For overnight stays, I work nearby and have a hybrid schedule, so I’m able to come home during my lunch break to let your pup out for a potty break and midday walk. I also live in a very walkable area, making it easy to provide regular walks and plenty of opportunities for fresh air and exercise. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Brendan was an awesome addition to our busy schedules. The communication between Brendan and myself was top tier. Always on time and making our Moni feel extra cared for. Thank you so much for helping our family.”
About: I have dog sat for friends when they're out of town. I have watched my mom's cat for her whole life too. I love animals, I love playing with them, I love the excuse to get out for a walk, I love sitting with them, I love talking to them like they can understand what I'm saying. I genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals and care for them deeply. I work from home and have the flexibility to leave for a walk or run an errand whenever I need to. So if that means a 3 pm walk for your pup or a morning and evening feeding time for your pet, I'm here! I have a fenced in back yard, fenced in front balcony, and enclosed spaces throughout my home. I also have an open floor plan on the main level where I would feed your pet and hang out them mostly.
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.

“Anne was a life saver for me and Ghost. I was in a pinch looking for someone to take care of Ghost for the two days I had an in-office training and Anne was super communicative and even did a meet and greet for us. The hour long walks helped break up a lonely day for Ghost and eased my anxiety about leaving him home alone.”

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.
“Mike is an excellent choice to care for your dog. He’s friendly, knowledgeable, and makes sure pups get plenty of walks and attention. He’s also a great option if your dog enjoys companionship—he sometimes hosts a few dogs at a time, which creates a fun, social environment. Another big plus: he’s located near a wooded area that’s perfect for safe, enriching adventures and outdoor exploration. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing! Charnetta and her kids took Sachi in as if he was apart of their family. She sent multiple pictures and videos every day. My baby had so much fun with her and her family. He did not want to leave when I picked him up. I will be booking her again!”
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.
“Amanda and her wife are the absolute best. Our boy Jackson is a bit chaotic and we’ve struggled to find a pet sitter that’s a good fit. We are so lucky and grateful to have found Amanda, who fully embraces Jackson and cares for him like her own. Highly recommend!”
