“As it was our first time leaving Emme with people outside our family we were very nervous. However, we couldn’t have asked for better people to look after her! Argos and her seemed to have the best time and she was clearly looked after very well. Mallory stayed in contact and updated me with lots of pictures and videos- which really helped me to feel comfortable. We recommend them without a doubt!”
“Christine was great! She watched my beagle for a long weekend and she was reliable, sent updates, and has a great home for dogs with a nice fenced in yard. I'd definitely bring Serenity back there again.”

“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!”
“I’ve been using Rut for a couple of years now and she’s great! My dog loves her and I love that I don’t have to worry about him when he’s with her. She gives thorough updates which helps a lot when I’m away from my dog. She is attentive, communicative, and treats my dog like he’s her own.”

“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!!”
“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”

She was an incredibly responsive and easy to coordinate with. I would highly recommended her as a sitter for any senior pups!”

About: I live near Dupont/West End and have been caring for my bonded pair of cats for 4 years here in DC! But I also have cared for our family cat and rabbit prior to college. I think cats have a huge amount of personality so I would love to give your cats the attention they need while you are away! I do work a hybrid schedule, so I can do drop in visits on most weekends, Monday and Friday evenings. But I can also drop in on the evenings of Tues-Thurs depending on my schedule, so please give me an advance notice of what you are looking for and I can coordinate!
“Nothing but praise for Jane! I had to leave on short notice and Jane lucky accepted to watch my Oreo. She was professional while also showing your love of animals. She kept incontact with me the whole time and sent me a few photos of my little guy. I think Oreo was a little sad to leave because he enjoyed himself so much! Highly recommend Jane for any and all! Thank you so much for taking care of my kitty!”
“This was our first time having Elliott sit our cats in a new city, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! He was super responsive and attentive to their needs. We will definitely book him again!”
About: I'm a full-time remote worker based in DC, which means I'm home on my laptop nearly every day — no rushed visits, no juggling a 9-to-5 around your pet's schedule. Whether it's a quick check-in or staying overnight while you're away, your pet gets consistent company and attention throughout the day, not just a few minutes here and there. I offer house sitting and pet sitting (drop-in visits), and I'm happy to do a free Meet & Greet before booking so we can make sure it's a good fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!

“I was very pleased and grateful for Suvon’s care for my puppy, Cooper. It was very easy to arrange date and time, Suvon was very prompt and clearly explained what Cooper needs to bring and what I can expect while Cooper’s there (which were all amazing!). Suvon kept me posted very frequently with how Cooper’s doing and sent me amazing photos (ummmm... like studio quality with gorgeous backgrounds). Looks like Cooper had a great time, he came back home and is sleeping like a baby.”
“Irina did a wonderful job caring for my new 5-month-old puppy, Otter. She was punctual, responsive, and provided great updates during his day care stay. I greatly appreciated her taking him in last-minute. Otter had a blast playing with her other pups. Thank you, Irina!”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful with Niní! She took care of him for three days while I was on a business trip, and he clearly adored her. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and very accommodating with my changing schedule. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Vanessa and would happily book her again!”
“Mac truly provided outstanding care for my dog! He was patient with my pup and communicative with me. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that even on her first visit, my dog grew to be quite comfortable with him and even accomplished all of her dog business! 😊 I will definitely use him again!”
“Sara was flexible in making arrangements for us to drop off and pick-up Charlie, and was diligent in sending photos of her stay throughout the day. This was the first time that we had used a sitter for Charlie, and we found the experience to be a good one. We plan on using Sara's services again in the future,”
“Lee took excellent care of our dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced. We appreciated the regular updates and our dog was very happy at the end of the day. Would highly recommend and use her services again.”
About: I have had cats for my entire life. I currently have a 2 year old cat that loves to play and to cuddle. Have been pet sitting for years for young and senior pets. I live right next to a few beautiful parks that I love to visit and show off to your pets. I have one cat that’s is great with others, I am available for boarding and drop in visits every day with a flexible schedule to help fit your pets needs. I have a friendly cat that is great with other cats and dogs. We have plenty of toys and room to share. Drop in visit I’m available to spend time and take care.
“Joey did a great job with Tova! His confidence with dogs gave us great comfort and peace of mind that Tova would have a great time and be safe! Highly recommend having your pup spend the day with him!”
“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 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 go on walks based on the dogs needs and abilities.
“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”
About: I’ve cared for pets ever since I was a child. Most recently, I cared for a hound dog for 7 years and currently going on 4 years caring for a cat. I trained my dog who had no exposure to cats prior to me adopting one. They ended up living harmonious together. I go above and beyond, even finding joint exercises and massages for a senior dog I had as he was aging. I see pets as family, especially having no children, so I’d love to make myself available for those in need of caretaking because I have the capacity. I’m currently flexible when it comes to pet care as I am self employed working from home. I can easily adjust to the owners pet schedule because of the flexibility of my daily and weekly routine. There are many dog parks, trails, and walkable areas where I live in the DuPont neighborhood within the DC metro area. Depending on what your pet is used to, luckily there are many amenities within proximity that may fit their typical routine and lifestyle.
About: I’m a caring and responsible pet owner with over 2 years of hands-on experience taking care of my own cats every day. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines, providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime, and paying close attention to their behavior and health. I have also helped friends care for their pets while they were away. I know that every pet has a different personality, so I’m patient with shy or anxious animals and happy to give energetic pets the attention and exercise they need. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available every day of the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I can provide pet care at any time of the day and accommodate different schedules, whether you need morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care. I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any special requirements. I take time to build trust with every pet and always provide photo and message updates so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.
“Aubrey accommodated a very last minute request to watch our pup. She had excellent communication and took great care of our dog who had injured her back and was on medication. Would definitely book her again in the future!”
“My doggie had a wonderful time with Asma and her pooch Mica! She was super considerate of his idiosyncrasies, and planned out a wonderful, well balanced, day care day for him.”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up with my family in El Salvador, so taking care of dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Back home, I have two Schnauzers who are my favorite little partners ever. I’ve had plenty of experience feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. Even though they are currently in El Salvador with my family, being around dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I would care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a student at GWU, and I’m usually only away from home for about four hours a day, so I have lots of time to give your pup attention and keep them company. My roommate is also around often, and we both absolutely love dogs, so your pup will get plenty of cuddles, playtime, walks, and love while staying with us I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and will always make sure they have a clean, calm, and caring environment.
“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: I have two baby Cavaliers that I love with all my heart. ❤️ Love giving them attention, cuddles, walks and playtime. I will treat your dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and very loved while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, I work from home and can easily make time for walks, playtime, cuddles and lots of attention throughout the day. I live in a house with plenty of space and a fenced-in backyard where they can safely run around and play. I can also crate your dog if needed or if that’s part of their normal routine. I’m also a little bit of a helicopter dog mom 😂 so I’m always keeping an eye on them and making sure they’re safe. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and follow any instructions you might have

“Elliott is great with my large puppy who is still in training to learn not to pull. He is extremely punctual and reliable, but also flexible if I need to switch days! He is also incredible responsive to my messages and questions, and gives me a detailed summary of how my pup did on his walk. I highly recommend Elliott.”
About: I have past experience both cat and dog sitting and walking. I have been around animals my whole life (dogs, cats, horses), and have had both dogs and cats of my own. I am currently job searching at home, so pet walking and sitting will be easy for me as I can be very flexible with my schedule. I am confident and comfortable feeding, crating, and going on long walks with all animals. I also have a cat at home who has a temperament, so I am comfortable caring for these types of animals as well.
“Deniz is great. She is very commutative and reliable. It’s very clear she loves dogs (and vice versa). Our dog can be a bit skittish or picky with who he likes but he loved Deniz from the beginning. She sends lots of pictures and always seems to go above and beyond”
“Noah has been great with our dog Toph, who can be a handful. He’s very responsive and follows our detailed instructions well. We are thankful to have his help.”
“Ian was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual two times a day for 3 weeks. The dogs loved him, and he really exercised them for 30 minutes. He also helped me with mail, etc., as I am home bound recovering from a fall. I cannot recommend him more highly.”
“Julia literally gave our dog an extra cashmere sweater she had to keep him warm on his walks in the snow! She is incredible and has the biggest heart! Every morning Banx waits for her by the door- he can’t wait for his walks!”
“Julie was absolutely incredible with my puppy. She was attentive, sent lots of pictures, and let me know if there was anything wrong at all times. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Monica is a wonderful walker. She’s taken care of our dog for several weeks and we’re so grateful. She communicates well, is very sweet with our dog and always helpful.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs all my life but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I started really building a consistent clientele. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to house-sit for them and take care of their furry babies and give them pure and genuine love and care. It’s truly the highlight of my day to see and interact with dogs. I’ve even travelled out of state (I’m from the US) to take care of two dogs who I adore like they are my own. I have watched 1-3 dogs at a time and love every minute of it! I work in an office during the day, but once I’m home, I’m ready to give your pet my full attention! When I’m pet sitting, your fur baby becomes my number one priority when I’m off work. I love spending that time giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and companionship. I’m intentional about making sure they get quality time with me rather than feeling like they’re just being checked on. In the pet owners home, I will make sure to follow all requests on their personal preferences for dog care inside the home. This will also carry over for dog walks and any other services.
“Salma responded to my short-notice request quickly, which I greatly appreciated as it was for only a few days of dog-walking. I'd had some surgery on my leg and it was difficult to walk for the first few days. Salma came three times daily and was very kind and patient with my elderly dog. I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“Kayla was communicative and informative throughout my time away. I appreciated it because it allowed me to rest assured he was being properly cared for and was in very capable hands. I wish look forward to Kayla caring for Balthazar (who is very stubborn) again.”
About: I grew up with dogs, but my current building does not allow pets so I miss them dearly (our newest puppy is home with my parents). I’ve had plenty of experience with rescues so can confidently deal with more difficult personalities:) I have always lived with medium-big dogs, but I’ve been a sitter for small dogs as well. Overall, I am just looking to pour my love onto the pups of Georgetown! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so can fit in a couple walks during the work day Monday-Friday. Slight preference for morning walks. I love to walk and be active, and have a lot of patience with training dogs as I’ve adopted multiple rescues in the past. I’m excited to get to meet the dogs of the neighborhood and get some movement together! I’m also happy to dog sit at the owners home, and am very punctual and responsible with feeding times.
About: I've grown up with animals my whole life — dogs, cats, and even horses — so caring for pets isn't new to me, it's second nature. I understand different temperaments, energy levels, and needs, from a high-energy pup who needs a good walk to a senior cat who just wants company. I currently dog sit and dog walk regularly, and I'm reliable, attentive, and genuinely happy spending my time with animals. Your pet will get consistent routines, plenty of attention, and someone who treats them like their own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm based in the [Washington, DC] area and typically have [mornings and evenings / flexible weekday] availability for walks and drop-ins, with more flexibility on weekends for boarding or longer sits. I build a consistent routine around each pet's normal schedule, feeding times, walk times, and downtime, so there's minimal disruption to what they're used to. Whether I'm in my own home or a client's home, safety and comfort come first. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, follow any feeding, medication, or routine instructions exactly as given, and make sure spaces are secure (leashed walks, safe yards, doors and gates checked). In my own home, pets have a calm, comfortable space to settle in, away from hazards, with fresh water always available. I communicate regularly with owners, photo updates and check-ins, so they always know their pet is safe and happy.
“David does an amazing job! He is detailed, timely, considerate, and communicative. He has walked our dogs several times and is one of the best we’ve found on Rover. Can’t give more than five stars, but would if we could!”

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.
