“Nathalia was a truly wonderful caregiver to our older cat, Walter! It was our first time using Rover, and when we were looking for someone to watch him, she put us at ease by letting us know she read his bio and would be attentive in caring for him (he is deaf). She is super fast when responding to you and sends the best pictures, too. Walter was in the best hands with Nathalia!”

About: I just graduated from law school and am studying for the bar exam this summer! I definitely need to get out of the house for breaks throughout the day and would love to spend that time walking your dog:) I am available during the day most days, as I am currently studying. So all of my time outside of pet care is dedicated to that! I have an apartment, so for boarding dogs they should be ok with an elevator! I try to take dogs out every 2 hours depending on their needs. There are a lot of green spaces near my apartment, as well as a dog park 4!blocks away!
“Katy is the best - Boo (12 yo cat) plays like a kitten when she visits him. I know this cuz she posts alot of great pics from each visit. She's thorough and dependable. Highly recommend.”

About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.

Paula is attentive, responsive, and cares for pups as if they are her own. Cannot recommend her enough—we hope she’s available next time we need someone to watch our floofer.”

About: Widower who recently lost his pups. Seeking canine companionship while I decide what to do going forward. I live in a large loft near 14th and R and have a lot of love to share. I work from home and love to take lots of walk breaks during the day. I work from home, so have a very flexible schedule. I'm also an early riser and love morning walks around the neighborhood. I have a large outdoor rooftop terrace perfect for lazing in the sun. I have a 2 story space but most of the living area is on the first level. I have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and the loft is right at ground level with no stairs to enter.
About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was 9 and have grown up around dogs my whole life. I have hands-on experience caring for my own family dog, a German Rottweiler, from puppyhood as his primary caregiver. I also have experience with dog walking and am the go-to person among friends and family for watching and caring for their dogs. I’m comfortable with big breeds and pride myself on providing attentive, loving care to every dog I look after. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate walks, playtime, and consistent care. I care for pets in my studio, which is safe, secure, and pet-friendly. I have close access to a nearby park, making bathroom breaks and outdoor time convenient and easy. My space is well-suited for dogs to relax, play, and feel comfortable while in my care.
“I am so grateful to have met Irina! When I rescued my beagle Sadie two weeks ago, she was easily scared and extremely anxious anytime she was left alone. Irina made her feel safe and loved and secure. After just one week of daycare with Irina, Sadie is already so much more confident and happy. She loves going to Irina for daycare and runs to Irina everytime she sees her. As a first-time dog owner, I also really appreciate all the guidance and advice Irina gave me on how to take care of Sadie, even lending me a dog brush and a pill crusher when Sadie needed one. I love knowing that Sadie is in such good hands while I'm at work! I'd highly recommend hiring Irina for all your doggy needs.”

About: Hi! My name is Riley, and I would love to help care for your dog. I have two goldendoodles of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone who is trustworthy, patient, and loving with your pets. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I am currently a graduate student at George Washington University. I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I am available for dog walks most other days and times. I’m happy to be flexible and work with your dog’s routine whenever possible! I care for my own two goldendoodles at home, so I have daily experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and giving dogs lots of love and attention. I also understand how important it is to keep dogs on their usual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for a client’s pup, I will always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including walk preferences, feeding schedules, leash rules, and any special care needs. I’ll treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I give my own pups.

About: I have taken care of pets since childhood, starting when I helped my parents look after our Cairn Terrier. My two current dogs (Dachshund and Lab) have given me experience with different life stages from puppy to adulthood. They have different personalities and are different sizes which I think makes me feel comfortable with all size dogs. Our lab has a lot of allergies so we have to be very careful about her food allergies and give her medicine to control her itchiness. Having two dogs means when I have a pet sitter I know how important it is to communicate details about walking/food/interactions with other dogs/habits and more. I would love to take care of your dog and treat them as if they are part of our family as well. I will be on sabbatical starting in August, which allows me to maintain a consistent daily routine dedicated to walking, caring for, and playing with dogs. I am fully available on both weekdays and weekends start in August, with the exception of 1 week planned vacations in August and November. Based on my experience with my dog, my neighbors dogs, and my friends dogs I can provide walks, baths, food, playtime, dog park time, and so forth. I have had my co-workers dog stay with us as well. It is important to me that they eat their food, have expected pees/poops, and feel comfortable in a new environment. If there is anything odd or unexpected I will message right away to confirm if its normal. I love taking pictures and sending them. Anything that could be improved with their care please let me know!
“Dominic was attentive during out Meet and Greet, and was very communicative as I shared information on how to get to get the key, and some quirk's about Caspian in general. I am glad he had a good experience, and appreciate his note. Now we know who to call next time Caspian needs a walk! :)”
“Cassey is the absolute best. She took great care of Chloe on her walks, going above and beyond. Always on time, always communicative, and always willing to help. Your dog is in great hands with Cassey. She knows what she's doing, and out of all the dog walkers I've used on Rover, she is manifestly the best one.”
“Emily is great. She is kind and patient. I had forgotten to leave out poop bags one day, and she picked it up using paper towels - legit!!!! Thank you for your wonderful service, Emily!!!”
About: Hi, I'm Cymia! I’m a college sophomore and student-athlete free for the rest of July and first week of august to care for your pet! I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and I started pet sitting back in middle school. When I’m not training, I love being out in nature, listening to music, and hanging out with animals. Because of my athletic background, I have plenty of energy for long, active walks, but I'm just as happy cozying up with a cat. I’m reliable, active, and available for flexible summer scheduling. I can't wait to treat your furry family members like my own I have plenty of time to care for your pets! As my schedule has no current commitments to anything else I am looking to get to know some new furry friends For my own pets, I keep a solid routine with regular meals, plenty of exercise, and a safe environment. I make sure nothing that can be chocked on or dangerous for your pet
About: I recently spent a month cat sitting. I loved hosting him. He warmed up to me quickly. I gave him ample pets throughout the day. I work from home most days so I am able to offer plenty of attention. I should be able to accommodate their feeding schedule! Happy to discuss scheduling as well as your needs and preferences! I am able to offer drop ins visits during the day within Dupont Circle, otherwise before or after work would be more realistic. I live in a small, open space, great for exploring and playing. I am quick to clean the litter box. Happy to send photos regularly! I am also able to sit rabbits!
About: I've lived and worked in DC for six years, and getting to know the neighborhood dogs is by far one of my favorite things about the city. I took care of my family's dogs for many years (currently a high-energy Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix), and I've helped care for the dogs my relatives foster, so I feel comfortable working with pets of all shapes and sizes. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, managing reactive dogs, and walking multiple dogs at once. I currently work from home in the Dupont Circle area and have a flexible schedule for daytime walks or drop-in visits. I'm a runner and would be happy to go out for a jog if your pup needs to burn off some steam. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or a stroll in Rock Creek Park, I'm ready to give your dogs the love and care they deserve! I currently work from home in the Dupont Circle area and have a flexible schedule for daytime walks or drop-in visits. I'm also available most weekends and am happy to do drop-ins for multiple days if you're out of town. I pay close attention to the instructions my clients leave for me to ensure I am providing the highest quality of care. Whether it's feeding your pup on time, cleaning up a knocked-over water bowl, or planning a walk route that avoids lots of people, I will make sure to accommodate your dog's needs.
