“Stephanie and Luis are the absolute best! They provided fantastic care for Toto. The communication was outstanding and frequent. The reassuring updates made my time away completely stress-free. Toto came home incredibly happy and well-cared for. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have experience caring for birds, fish, dogs, and cats. My family has primarily had Shih Tzus and Boxers, and I currently have an 11 year old Shih Tzu. Caring for her has given me a strong understanding of the patience, comfort, and slower pace that senior pets may need. I also help care for my neighbor’s cats when she works overnight shifts. I’m comfortable following different routines and making sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide regular attention, companionship, potty breaks, meals, and time outside throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are not left alone for long periods and can settle into a comfortable routine. I live in a condo with a private fenced yard, which gives dogs a safe place to spend time outside. My home is calm and comfortable, and I currently have one senior Shih Tzu who is quiet and spends much of the day resting. I follow each pet’s feeding, medication, bathroom, and care instructions closely. I also take time to learn their personality, routine, and comfort level so they can feel secure while in my care.
“Sam and Tracy were very communicative, and our dog (Guava) was safe and seems happy. We also appreciated the daily photos. We would happily book our pup a stay with them again.”
“Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.”
“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Madison was easy to communicate with and sent a daily update and photo during my dog Olive’s week-long stay. Olive can be a bit nervous but seemed comfortable and relaxed with her! Would definitely book again.”
“As always, Rut and her husband took excellent care of Memphis. They are kind, reliable, and truly attentive, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care. We had complete peace of mind knowing Memphis was in such loving and capable hands. We are so thankful for them and highly recommend their care to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly a little nervous. My wife and I had to travel, and we needed someone to take care of our two dogs. Sunny was the best option we found, and I’m so glad we chose her. She was very communicative throughout the entire stay, and it was clear that she treated both of our dogs with so much love and care. She made us feel comfortable and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She has definitely earned a new loyal customer. The next time we need a pet sitter, I’ll feel much more confident knowing our dogs are staying with Sunny. I highly recommend her!”
“Incredible! From the first moment, I knew my pup was safe and loved on. Abigail consistently communicated how he was doing and sent pictures that made my day every day! I highly recommend her services. I have booked with Rover before, but this was by far the best experience.”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Marcel came back to me well loved and cared for by Shanilka and her family! Marcel was very relaxed at returning home. Thank you for the pictures that you sent. Great thanks for your flexibility on our drop off and pick up time when our plane was late! I especially loved that Marcel slept with your mom and ignored the bed. He had a wonderful team to care for him. I will definitely use your services again. Thanks again❤️🙏🤗”
“We are truly thankful to Michael for taking care of our dog while we traveled. She clearly had a great time and we appreciated the regular messages and photos of walks during her stay. Thanks Michael!”
“Destini is absolutely amazing when it comes down to my Sam. She treats him as if he's hers & I have no worries or care in the world knowing he's well taken care of when he's with her. She sends videos & pictures of their daily outings & I'm so grateful she's in our lives.”
“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.”
“Alex and Daniel were wonderful to work with! They kindly gave us updates on our dog while she was with them and it really seemed like she warmed up to them quickly. We are so greatful to have met them and we look forward to working with them in the future.”
“Erin took wonderful care of Sully. She comforted him during some loud storms, which I’m very grateful for. To ease my worry, she was very communicative and sent lots of updates & pictures. Would happily rebook her again!”
“Ewelina was an excellent sitter for my dog Molly. She was very communicative with pictures, and handled her finicky food attitude! She gave her pills daily and I came home to a happy dog. Thank you, Ewelina!!! Next time I travel I’ll definitely look for Ewelina to care for Molly!”
“Our 13 yo pitbull loved her stay with Christian! She is very communicative, sent us photos, and made sure she got all her meds. Would leave our pup with her again.”
“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 8 years old. I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by cats whether they were mine, my grandparents, or friends. I started taking care of my own cats when I was 8. They had health issues so I’m experienced in giving oral medications. When I was 10 I saved 2 brothers who I’ve taken care of since. I’ve taken care of their litter box, food, and health issues. I have experience working with affectionate, shy, anxious, and energetic cats. I have so much love for cats and lots of experience from my own to others.
“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!”
“John did a fantastic job taking care of our 4 (!!) cats while we were away. He was super diligent about giving them the meds they need, and he sent us lots of adorable pictures. We look forward to booking with John again!”
“Sarah took the best care of our cat Tilly when we were traveling. She sent us pictures and updates each day and spent extra time to help her adjust to us being gone. You can tell she loves animals and we plan to use her again.”
“Julie is a fan favorite in our cat household! We’ve had her care for one of our cats a couple times and we just brought home a new kitten which she took care of this time around! Both have warmed up to her. She makes the right effort to play and takes care of the main things cats want, food! She’s easy to communicate with and we trust her 100% with our animals.”
“Jacqueline was wonderful taking care of our cat Domino at our place! She took care of him for a week and she was very communicative with me and provided me daily updates of her schedule which I so appreciated! She took great care of domino, spent loads of time with him and we came back to the house as we left it! I highly recommend Jacqueline and will definitely ask her to take care of domino again!”
“Becca was amazing with both of my cats! I really appreciated how much she catered to their different needs and was able to make more shy cat feel comfortable enough to make an appearance and my more social cat entertained with her favorite things! Her communication and pics were just what I needed to give me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I’m an experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of caring for dogs, cats, horses, and more. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including those with special needs, behavioral challenges, medication schedules, and strict routines. I also have experience with a number of different large, high-drive working dog breeds. No matter your pet’s situation, I will always tailor my care to meet their unique needs and routine. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, multiple daily medications, and often same day bookings. If your pet stays with me, they’ll relax in a quiet townhouse surrounded by green space, parks, and the Potomac Heritage Trail. Clear communication is important to me. I send daily updates with photos (more if requested!). I started pet sitting because spending time with animals brings me so much joy and keeps me grounded. I’m also currently using Rover to help save for my first home! Every booking brings me one step closer, so thank you for considering me.
“Julia is the best! Steve was so happy to see her today and really appreciated her flexibility with my changing work schedule + all the logistical details. I loved the updates and look forward to booking again!”
“Audrey was amazing and saved my trip last minute when I had a cancellation. When I came home my cat was relaxed with all litter boxes cleaned. I cannot recommend Audrey enough! Fully trust her and look forward to my next booking with her.”
“Lydia was terrific. Last-minute, I needed someone to watch my cat while my movers were working, which can be stressful for an animal, and for four hours she watched him and sought to keep him calm, all while maintaining a great attitude.”
“Reliable and kind. Paris showed up at the scheduled times to feed our 4 cats. Even our shyest cat came out to eat with her. Paris accommodated the shyness and made sure she ate. She provided plenty of pictures and updates. She even braved winter weather to help us and our cats, handling the litter boxes and playing with the cats in addition to feeding. Paris replied promptly for a short notice booking on a Sunday to start on Monday evening (due to a death in the family). Her responsiveness, kindness, and reliability helped make a stressful trip less stressful. We would be happy to book with her again when needed. One of our cats has special feeding needs and Paris provided for that reliably.”
“Our cat loves Lauren so much that he's trying to train us to be more like her. Unfortunately, we can't give him our undivided attention 24/7 but she does that every half hour she spends with him. As always, it's a pleasure to be able to enjoy our get away knowing that he's in such good hands.”

“Julia was amazing! Remi (golden puppy) had a great time at her place and enjoyed her other dogs. Also Julia did a great job of sending photos through out the day! Definitely would recommend.”
“Mashal was careful and reassuring to a sweet but highly strung Athena. I would recommend her gentle and understanding care unreservedly. She was kind to Athena who is somewhat trauma-bonded to me. I hope to continue the relationship so that Athena eventually expands into a new and secure world, and I trust Marsha to do this without a doubt.”
“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”
“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.”
“Had a great experience with Fengyuan providing daycare for Marigold! Got lots of photo updates during the day and she made a new friend out of Chicago 🤗”
“Sky was very accommodating and sent me some cute pics of my Louis. She is so good that he even ate for her and potties for her. He rarely does that with a new sitter without some coaxing. He felt very comfortable with her. I would definitely use her services again.”
“McKinley was amazing. Our dog had a wonderful time, and was well taken care of. She communicated throughout the day, provided photos and gave our dog the attention he needed throughout the day.”
“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!”
“Mac has been an absolute lifesaver! I had to return to the office for 5 days for the first time since I got my dog, Ham, and let's just say he's a little clingy. A lot clingy. Mac has been able to give Ham all the love and attention he needs, and I know Ham loves it at Mac's by how excited he gets when we turn the corner to Mac's street each morning. I am so relieved that I found someone who loves Ham as much as I do. Mac is really the best.”
“Lee was incredible with Edith. She handled her slight anxiety like a pro and was flexible when we needed to shift our timing a little. We'll definitely be booking with Lee again.”
“Christian is a wonderful dog sitter and walker! He ask great questions, is very caring with my high energy chocolate lab Waffle. He’s easy to communicate with. Would recommend him to anyone.”
“Outstanding care for Zeke. Amanda was great. Very nice person, patient, very easy to work with and to schedule sitting times. I highly recommend. If visiting DC she is located very close to everything you would want to see. No going out of way to drop your pet.”
“Marc was awesome!! Our dog has a lot of anxiety and reactivity and he took those issues in stride and followed our instructions. Also super professional and provided updates.”
“Daniel has been an amazing dogsitter for Lenny. He's already been looking after him on specific days for a few weeks in a row, and Lenny is always so happy with him. He's also helped us a lot with Lenny's socialization, which we really appreciate. He always sends us feedback on how the day went, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. We feel very comfortable and confident leaving Lenny with him. We highly recommend him!”
“Jason agreed to watch Charlie, our senior citizen dog, at the last minute. Charlie seemed to have a really great time with him. When my wife picked him up, he had a real pep in his step, which is always a good sign. Jason was very responsive, flexible and understanding. We will certainly use him again.”

About: I am a retired volunteer with City Kitties and Dogs, and have been doing Rover for a few years now! I grew up with rescue dogs and continue to find so much joy in hanging with dogs and cats for the day. I know how important pets are (they’re family!) so yours will always be getting that 5 star treatment and care! :-) I currently WFH 3 days a week and am looking for a furry friend to keep me company! I am up in the mornings around 7am, and have a pretty relaxed job which means lots of time for walks, play, and potty breaks. Your pets safety is my top priority. I will be sure to follow all protocols, take details seriously, and keep an eye on your pet at all times of service!
About: My past work as a veterinary technician has provided me with years of experience caring for diverse breeds, specializing in coordinating complex feeding schedules and managing senior pets with health needs. I prioritize a safe and calm environment for every animal. I have been retired for two years, which makes me available all hours of the day. I am flexible with providing care on weekends as well as weekdays. If it is your wish that I do so, I am available to stay with your pet in your home if needed. Your pet will receive the same care I would provide to my own
“Camden is reliable and really took care of my boy, benny. They had a nice walk around the neighborhood, even though outside was pretty hot, they enjoyed their time together, I will book him again!”
“Julia was a pleasure! Gray was super happy and relaxed. She booked us super last minute as well during some super hot weather. We will definitely have Gray spend time with her again!”
“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Adam! I have long legs great for long dog walks! I have 2 dogs of my own, Lola and Bonnie, and grew up with my family dogs, Thunder and Blade.

I am ready to branch out on my own and give your pets the attention they deserve and the help you need! I am available everyday from ~10AM-12PM and 1:30PM-3:30PM. Evening walks are available, however they are a case to case basis. Reach out and let me see what I can do for you! I care for pets as if they are my own and treat your house better than my own. I would never want to inconvenience you by preforming or behaving in any manner below your expectations.
“Katy was able to wrangle Sable’s puppy energy into a great walk. Sable and her sister Cinder immediately felt comfortable around her, and Sable came back ready for a nap. Thanks, Katy! We will see you again.”
“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!”
About: I grew up with rescue mutts and herding breed dogs that need lots of exercise, mental stimulation, and training so I am familiar with high energy breeds. I also have experience with smaller companion animals, and cats. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds, and have cared for dogs at all stages of life, from puppies to seniors. I'm available mornings and afternoons to spend time with your pets. I'm between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is very flexible and I'm eager to fill that with time with your pup! I love to take long walks, and enjoy parks and trails if your dog likes to go on short hikes. I have a fenced in front and back/side yard with grass, and enough room to throw a ball if they come over for a play date.
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've owned a dog since Summer 2022 and have previously dog sat for friends and family. I love animals and will do whatever is necessary to provide them the care they need.

I am calm and approachable and don't mind dealing with high energy pets. Both of my dogs have been very high energy and needed lots of attention so I am used to being very engaged

In my home I have plenty of room as well as play and feeding materials in place because I have a cat. I also have a dog park across the street from me. In your home, my attention will be on your pet at all times.
