I recommend Katherin, your pup will have the best stay!”

She has been a great communicator, took pictures of my dog and some of those are my favorites of my doggo right now, and when she thought my dog might have an injury she let me know to call to see what I felt the next steps were. My princess looked so happy within Nicole’s care and she had fun with the other pups too. Thank you Nicole!”

“Tamara was great with my cat Mocha! It was clear Mocha felt comfortable and got lots of love which helped us have a stress free vacation. Highly recommend!”
“Nathan is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had. A month before a planned international trip one of our cats was diagnosed with cancer. We were thinking of cancelling the trip completely, but Nathan worked with us to create a schedule and stepped up with experience to help manage our beloved cat’s meds while we were away. He always spends quality time with the guys and every time we get back it’s like they didn’t even notice we were gone. He is also thoughtful in clean up and bringing in the mail. Nathan goes above and beyond!”
“Thomas went *above and beyond* with my two kitties. He followed my detailed list of instructions to the T and even administered my kitty’s inhaler when she had an emergency attack. (This was not part of the plan and Thomas executed like a pro). He also took some amazing photos for the rover report card that really made me smile while I was away—I’ll be saving in my favorites album!”
“Ryan watched our cat, Al, every day over 2.5 weeks while we were away. He was reliable, communicative and very respectful of our space. Most of all, Al seemed happy and well cared for when we returned! Thank you Ryan for taking such good care of him!”
“Eric took excellent care of our cats while we were away! He spent quite a bit of time with them and made sure our cat who needed medicine took it again after she had a bad tummy and threw it up the first time. Definitely a sweetheart, would have him look after them again. <3”
“Emily’s updates are always thorough. My shy cat likes her enough to come out and interact during visits - something my cat does not do with every sitter. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone.”
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.
“Bridgette did such an amazing job caring for my two cats. She took so any good photos and played with them and even was able to give my cat a pill she hates taking. I would 100 percent book with her again”
“Ann is hands down the best cat sitter I've ever had watch my two cats. She's watched them numerous times and always provides such detailed and thoughtful updates. It's clear she cares and takes time to bond with and play with my cats. It's such a peace of mind when I'm out of town knowing Ann is watching them. 11/10”
“Emma did such a great job taking care of our energetic kitten!! Our kitty clearly felt super comfortable with Emma and enjoyed Emma’s generosity with playtime and snuggles. We hope Emma will watch our cat again in the future!”
“Nick was fantastic! Everyday he sent us a write-up with photos of our pet, which gave us great peace of mind. He was extremely communicative and responsive and always got back to me almost immediately when I messaged him. We will - without a doubt - work with him next time we're headed out of town again!”
“Alexander stepped in for a last-minute drop in and did great. He sent a lot of pictures, and I returned to find my cat with sufficient food, water, scraped litter, etc. Thanks Alexander!”

“Jacquelyn was so great! The cats were so happy when I got home, and my apartment was well cared for even after being gone for two weeks. 10/10 will 100% recommend and be rebooking in the future!”
“Kyaus is phenomenal! He went above and beyond to ensure our kitties were safe and comfortable. We were nervous leaving our mischievous kitten for the first time, but Kyaus was able to relieve all our concerns and went out of his way to make sure she was okay. 1000% recommend!”
“She was great with my cat! So attentive and thoughtful! Went out of her way to make him feel included while I was gone for the holiday. Already rebooked for another visit! Thank you!”

“I would like to say thank you to Christian well my first time using Rover and helping me feel comfortable with my fur baby saying with her. She did a wonderful job communicating and sending pictures letting me know what’s going on and making this days feel so easy. I would definitely recommend her to anybody and using her in the future, thank you so much.”
“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 taken care of dogs my whole life. my grandma growing up had a foster farm where I was there every weekend helping out where I could. any size dog from the teacup yorkies to the extra large labs are welcome in my home. my dog loves any kitty furry friend and would love to hang out! I have over 10 years of experience in taking care of any handicapped or disabled dogs! I work from home majority of the days! while I do have a studio apartment is is large with love. your dog will get multiple walks a day around my neighborhood and i’m less than 2 minutes from a large dog park. your cat will have plenty of toys & cat trees to lounge in! I can adapt to any of your furry friends needs. I am equipped in giving medications, helping with disabled animals, taking your dog for a run, a walk or even a good midday nap. whatever they need!
“Rodrigo and Luna were wonderful partners for my dog Cooper when we needed help with day care! We really appreciated Rodrigo’s flexibility in scheduling and look forward to sending Cooper to visit again soon.”
“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!”
About: I love dogs big and small, but have a special place in my heart for the tiny ones. I’ve had yorkies since I was 11 and have a 2 year old yorkie now, named Scotti. So owners can feel confident I’ll take great care of their little ones- I’d love to pet sit for you and get to know your dogs unique personality! Unfortunately I’m very allergic to cats so unable to work in houses with cats. I love meeting new dogs. I work from home most days and I have a 6 lb dog myself, so if I were pet sitting in my own home, he’d be there! With very small dogs, there are special considerations like paying extra attention when you walk them or take them outside knowing runners and scooters might not be able to see them. I’d love to do a meet and greet with your dog first so they’re comfortable. Also, if you’d like to book me for boarding services, I’d love to watch your little one! However, I request that you schedule at least two walks or drop in visits first so I can get to know you and your pet. I’d also like to introduce them to my dog at the end of the second walk. Then I’ll be ready to accept your boarding request!
“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!”
“Aroa was fantastic! She gave plenty of updates with photos throughout the day and kept my anxious boy very happy with lots of walks and scritches! Would definitely recommend!”
“They were absolutely amazing with Whiskey! They would send me pictures throughout the day and give me updates which really helped with feeling at ease. I would highly recommend them to dogsit for you!”
“Max is a one of a kind dog sitter. My crazy dog Jax is typically not the most trusting, especially towards men, but he took to liking Max quickly and would gallop to him the moment he realized I was dropping him off. Max watched Jax for several months and was always professional, kind, caring, patient and consistent with Jax, despite Jax's behavioral quirks. He goes above and beyond when watching pets. For example he acquired a scooter and skateboard to provide exposure and positive reinforcement around those items to Jax. Max is easily worth at least triple his current rate for watching pets and is basically a community fairly god parent to the pets and pet owners of Columbia Heights for what he does. I can't recommend him enough.”
“This is the first time that Nina has watched Roxi, and I am hoping it will not be the last! Nina was very flexible on time. Sent photos during the day. I couldn't be happier!”
About: I've had dogs since I was a kid and enjoy training dogs and puppies as a hobby. You'll be pleasantly surprised to find your dog understands a new command after staying with me for a few days! I currently work from home most days, so I've taken to this as a way to brighten up my day and help folks in the neighborhood with their pet needs. I am reliable, consistent, and follow owner's care instruction to the letter. I also take on a limited amount of clients to ensure that your pet gets quality care.
About: I have been helping my mom with rover since she started two years ago and I want to do this on my own. My mom has a five star rating and so once I earn your trust and get to care and love your fur babv. I’m currently in high’s school finishing up to start on my adult life and work in the big world and hoping I can start on that with rover. I have a fenced back and front yard. Safety is my number one priority. I do what’s best for the owner and pet. So if you prefer them to be walked around the block, go to the dog park or just burn energy in the yard i will do what’s best for you and your fur baby
“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.”
“Skippy loves staying with Angela! She just pressed her "happy" and "Angela" buttons together. What a positivr experience this is for Skippy 🥰”
“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.

“Tamara walked our dog around the neighborhood and left her safe and happy back at home. She is easy to contact and work with and made sure we felt comfortable leaving our dog child in her hands.”
“Eric was amazing! He stepped in on short notice to walk our dog Sammy, and even gave our cat Lucy some attention when he would stop by to pick Sammy up for the walk. He was very communicative and friendly and did not hesitate to set up a meet and greet before we left town. We would use Eric again in a heartbeat, he was great!”
“Absolutely! Here’s your revised review with those thoughtful details included: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were visiting Washington D.C. and needed someone to walk and care for our pup while we attended events. Rut was amazing! She even met us the day before for a meet-and-greet at no charge, which gave us total peace of mind. She came to our hotel and walked our cavapoo twice — she was incredibly professional, accommodating, and kind. She really went out of her way to work with our schedule and timeline. Her communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease leaving our pup in her care. Highly recommend her to anyone needing trusted and thoughtful pet care in DC”

Volunteer with humane rescue alliance in DC since 2024 (can provide verification upon request) and certified to work with “blue” dogs. I regularly interact and sit for my brother and friends’ cats! Lots of references available! I’m a teacher on summer break with a flexible schedule during the day! I will be proactive, communicative, and honest with you about my schedule. I will take care of your pet as if they are my own. You can expect lots of cute photos and check ins (if desired), and a happy & healthy dog or cat when you reunite. :)
“Pauline walked/fed our senior dog during the holidays and was so great!

“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! :)”
About: hi! I’ve had dogs in the family my whole life, and more recently had roommates with dogs and cats (equal love to both) left home in my loving care. now, I’m in a pet free building and miss the fun company. I’m familiar with both dogs and cats and mostly want to spend some time with either, playing or walking, but also open to longer-term pet sitting. I work from home Monday/Thursday/Friday, and I walk myself like a dog, so I’d be happy to have a companion to take along or somewhere to stop for a little pet playtime. I can also do before or after work on Tuesday/Wednesday, and flexible on weekends! I will not break into your house! treat others how you want to be treated! communication is key! I'll care for your pets + your home like a close, but not too-close, friend's. if you have specific questions, ask me!
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: We’ve both had dogs in our family since we were young and we have our very own, paçoca! She’s a nova scotia duck toller. Her name means little peanut in portuguese and nothing describes her better than that. we love nothing more than to be around dogs. We would love to care for yours! We both work a hybrid schedule and at least one of us is always available to care for, play, and walk pets as many times as needed. We can provide your dog with the exercise they may need, whether it is a morning run, long walk in the afternoon, or dog park visit. We live in a pet-friendly two bedroom apartment with lots of light and space. Dogs we’ve cared for prior really enjoyed laying on the couch/their beds and getting some sun. We live very close to Logan Circle, which is a great, pleasant and green space in downtown DC for dogs to walk and play with other dogs. We love incorporating the pets’ routines into our own and can adapt as needed. Taking them on walks during the day is a great opportunity to take work breaks, get some fresh air, and enjoy the day. Our apartment is spacious and gets lots of sunlight, which the dogs love! It’s also close to lots of nice green areas such as Logan Circle or the S street dog park!

They are experienced and knowledgeable dog people, and they genuinely liked and appreciated our two very different dogs and took great care to make sure they were comfortable and happy, including them in their Thanksgiving celebration truly like part of their family. Malvi & Andrej communicated with us fully, frequently and clearly, and we never had any worries or qualms about how the dogs were doing. The dogs came back to us healthy and happy. We surely will leave our dogs with Malvi & Andrej again. We could not hope to find a better arrangement for them.”
“MEGAN IS AMAZING!! She took great care of my dog while we were out of town for the weekend, sent daily updates, and was very responsive and flexible. If you’re looking for a sitter, she should definitely be on your list! Will 100% be booking with her again in the future.”
