“Lia was great! Our older and anxious cat was very comfortable with her. We got frequent updates and photos and felt very reassured that our cat was in good hands. Our cat needs daily medication, which Lia also took care of without issues. Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I genuinely cannot recommend McKinley enough! She is the sweetest, kindest, and most thoughtful sitter I could have ever asked for. From the moment I dropped Hamilton off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such amazing hands. She sent me daily photos and checked in throughout the day with updates on everything he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ve honestly never seen Hamilton happier. He looked so comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to be there, I think he was actually a little sad to leave, lol. It was so obvious that McKinley treated him like he was her own, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, keep you updated, and go above and beyond, McKinley is the person to book. I would trust her with Hamilton again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be using her in the future. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pet!”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“Emme had such a great time. Sabrina was communicative and flexible which really helped us out! Emme loved going to the dog park, playing with Murphy and snuggling up! Thank you guys.”
“Rodrigo did a great job taking care of my sweet Frenchie, Bella. He sent me daily pictures and made sure to listen carefully to my care instructions. His own dog, Luna, was a great playmate to Bella and she came home happy and exhausted. I'd definitely use Rodrigo 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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Katherin is the absolute best!!!! She went absolutely above and beyond caring for Hugo. She took him on lots of fun adventures everyday, including to nearby coffee shops, dog parks, and long walks to Georgetown. She also attended to an unexpected medical need and sent detailed updates everyday, which gave me such peace of mind. Thank you Katherin, Hugo was so lucky to have such a fun vacation with you!”
“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.”
“Nico was great! He kept me updated about Maggie and I could tell from pictures she was having a great time! He was professional, friendly, responsive, and flexible. I'm already planning on re-booking in the future!”
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.
“Max was an amazing sitter for my dog, Kali! Kali had been spayed a week prior to her 4 day stay with Max, and had already ripped her stitches open once, so it was critical that Max made sure she stayed safe and kept her cone on. Max was unbelievably attentive and did an excellent job with her! He sent multiple updates with photos each day, had extra treats and toys for her, took her on multiple walks per day, and even did some basic training with her to make sure she could be left home by herself for brief periods. I would not hesitate to book Max again!”
“this was the second time Sky has watched my dog and she was amazing! She watched her for an extended stay and took very good care of her and I could tell from the daily updates and photos/videos that my dog was enjoying her time and felt very relaxed and comfortable. would highly recommend trusting sky to take care of your dog!”
“Ruth was absolutely phenomenal! She asked lots of great questions to ensure she could provide the best care. I received frequent photos and updates as well as a video of them playing. She even got up early enough to take my dog to the dog park before anyone was there since he is afraid of other dogs. I highly recommend Ruth!”
“I am so grateful to have found Rachel! She was so wonderful to work with, and our pup Daisy clearly loved staying with her. She sent pictures and updates throughout our trip and we knew Daisy was well-taken care of while we were gone.”

“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!”
“I can not recommend Natalie enough! She went above and beyond taking care of our cats while we were out of town. Her communication, kindness, and thoroughness gave us peace of mind the whole time!”
“Hanna is such a great and reliable cat sitter! I have worked with her multiple times and it's always been very straightforward and stress-free. I completely trust her with taking care of Jellybean while I'm out of town!”
“Victoria was an amazing sitter!! She sent wonderful pictures and descriptions of her drop-ins, which made me feel so at ease while I was on my trip. I could tell my cat Blackjack really adored her and loved the time he spent with Victoria. Would absolutely recommend her.”
“Maria was very thorough and communicative about her visits with our two cats. She sent lots of photos and spent quality time with our cats. She is great and hope to use her services again in the future!”
“Marta is a true animal lover. She was so sweet with my cat and looked after him like he was her own. She clearly has had experience owning pets herself in the past, and also communicated updates proactively with me throughout my time away. Thanks Marta!”
“Phil was amazing!! He sent us tons of pictures and was super on top of communicating with us and taking care of our kittens. He was even kind enough to meet the kittens before we left town which I really appreciated. You can really tell he loves cats, I cannot recommend enough!”
“I’m so glad I randomly found Emily’s profile! My cat is going through chemo + has asthma, and finding a sitter who’s not just able but also enthusiastic to care for him can be tough because of how anxiety-inducing it is to leave him! Emily’s check-ins were great, her responsiveness and awareness of his health a solid 10/10, and the photos she sent were adorable. She did great at pilling him, giving him his inhaler, and even cleaning up after him when he had GI issues - the apartment looked just the way we left it when we came back! :) She also went above and beyond when it came to monitoring Bobby’s cancer/treatment symptoms, and reached out instantly if anything concerning ever popped up. You can really tell she loves cats, and it shows in how she cared for Bobby. I’ll definitely be reaching out the next time we need a sitter, and I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to leave their baby in good hands.”
“Julia is a fantastic cat sitter! This was her first time checking-in on my boys and she was an excellent communicator throughout the entire time I was away. She sent plenty of pictures and detailed notes. I was so grateful to come back to two happy cats and a clean apartment. I have one older cat who can sometimes be a little messy but Julia was so gracious to go the extra mile to make sure I wasn't coming home to a disaster. I appreciated that immensely!! She is so kind and it was so clear to me right from the start that she loves cats and that they were in good hands while I was away. I would highly recommend Julia and will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Bridgette took great care of my cat Noodle for 3 days visit while we are out of town! She was very responsive and followed all the instructions. Most importantly she cuddled and cared for Noodle while we weren’t home to do so!”
“Amazing sitter! This was my first time hiring a sitter for my cat, Willow. Anika was very easy to communicate with throughout this process. She arrived Friday night and stayed with Willow until Saturday morning. She sent pictures of Willow. When I returned home, everything was clean and tidy. I would definitely book with her again! Willow approved!!”
“My cat LOVED Gracie! She did a great job caring for her and I really appreciated getting lots of photos and videos. We will definitely book Gracie again.”
“Sydni Ming did a wonderful job caring for my two cats for several days. She was attentive, detailed, and helpful. A great communicator who even convinced my very shy cat to come out and say hello! I look forward to next time and I know my cats will be in great hands!!”
“Gregory was wonderful! He let my cat take her time to warm up to him over the course of a few days, sent pictures, and even stayed longer than he needed to. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and everyone!”
“Walker was wonderful in watching Titus! He went above and beyond in sharing pictures of clean cat litter and fresh food, in addition to Titus receiving love. He also looked for ways to address keeping Titus entertained and less stressed when he was alone. Look forward to hiring him 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.”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”
“Paula was phenomenal with our 4 month old puppy—she maintained her at-home schedule / routine with care and our pup was excited to see her for day 2. 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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Cassie was great with giving my 4 month old puppy the attention he needed throughout the day. He’s a nervous walker and she successfully got him out and about!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, and currently own Gullu, a 10 yr old rescue. I have experience managing all ages and sizes of dogs, with varying medical conditions and unique needs. I successfully trained Gullu out of her separation anxiety with a lot of love and patience, and the joy of seeing her blossom makes me believe in every dog’s potential! I work full time from home. I have a set schedule for my dog Gullu as I walk her 4-5 times a day. On weekends I do extra long walks to ensure she gets enough exercise. I live in a 1500 sq ft apartment with a large living space. I also have a very sweet and friendly 10 year old rescue, Gullu who is a small 25 lbs mixed breed. She is very gentle, minds her own business and has no issues sharing space or toys. I can crate your dog if needed.
“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.”
“Joanna was awesome — so great with Boomer who came home well rested, walked, having enjoyed all his daily treats, and genuinely happy! Loved getting photo updates along the way. Thanks so much for taking him on. Boomer can’t wait to see you again next time!”
“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!”
“Ashley went above and beyond to provide me and my dog Minnie a fun, safe, and comfortable doggy day care experience! I tend to get nervous leaving my little one with strangers, and especially with other dogs. My dog can get nervous and even anti-social, but Ashley was great in making both of us feel assured that Minnie was in good hands by arriving early to allow time to see how she acclimated to her and her two dogs. They all got along great, and I could tell Minnie had so much fun during her time with Ashley. If I ever travel to the DC area again with my dog, Ashley is definitely my go-to.”

About: Growing up around dogs in Missouri and helping care for neighborhood pets instilled a lifelong passion for animal care. I have hands-on experience handling larger and energetic breeds including family German Shepherds and pit bulls and I pride myself on being reliable attentive and active. Whether your dog needs a brisk neighborhood stroll or a high energy workout I am ready to keep them safe and happy. I currently work from home three days a week and have dedicated availability to take your dogs on walks early in the morning, during my lunch hour, and after work! I strictly adhere to pedestrian rules while walking in the city and stay fully alert around all moving vehicles. I will always monitor the weather conditions and walking distances for your dog while making sure they stay properly hydrated!
“Cooper was so excited to see Gracie for their morning walk! This was the first time she had walked him but he recognized her from our meet and greet. He had fun on their walk with his ball and she sent tons of pictures. Thanks so much!”
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!
“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!”
“Victoria was great walking Teddy and Carl! We found ourselves in need of last minute help and we are so glad we found her - she was communicative, friendly, and flexible for last minute changes. Would absolutely recommend for anyone in need of dog walking!”
“Ciera was amazing with our cat and 100 black lab! She played with and took Charlie on walks. AND I hade to unexpectedly stay overnight and she worked me to make sure my lovable babies were tended to. Modified her schedule to care for them. I was at peace with her there. I’ll be using her again!”
“Taylor is absolutely fabulous with our high-energy, large dog Ruby. We look forward to her taking Ruby out every week. She goes above and beyond each time, takes great care of Ruby, and helps with training.”
“Rut took such great care of my little dachshund, Arthur. He loved going on walks with her and warmed up to her very quickly. Rut is also incredibly easy to work with. She is punctual, highly responsive, and very flexible to meet her customers' needs. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Booked Tobias to walk my dog. He was on time and send photo updates from the time they spend together. Jhana had a great time. Will book again if needed and can recommend him as a dog walker!”
“Jondle was great with our older (and sometimes stubborn) French bulldog! She was very responsive throughout the entire process and made a point to come meet me and Eloise before she started caring for her.”
“Anne was kind and knowledgeable and made my first Rover experience positive one. I have a small breed dog with leash reactivity so having someone other than myself walking him makes me nervous, but Anne relieved me of my concerns. I would definitely use her again!”
“The pictures I get just show how HAPPY my dog is on his walks. Dominic is flexible, incredibly communicative, and I feel at ease knowing he is talking care of my best boy.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, from small breeds to large breeds with different personalities and needs. In addition to growing up with dogs, I’ve provided pet sitting through platforms like Nextdoor and Facebook and have cared for family pets while working as a nanny. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. As an elementary school teacher, I’m patient, responsible, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My availability varies by season. During the summer, I’m available most days and many weeks for walks, drop-ins, daycare, or overnight stays. During the school year (September–June), I’m generally available after 4:00 p.m., as I teach elementary school during the day. I’m also a graduate student and typically have evening classes two nights a week, but I keep my calendar updated so you can always see my current availability. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for a visit, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and plenty of affection. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and any special instructions you have. As an elementary school teacher, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to details, and I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Jefferson takes great care of my big guy. He jumped in for a last minute need and now is our weekly walker. During our first meeting he took diligent notes which showed me his high level of care. Definitely will use again.”
“Shae was incredibly easy to work with and instantly put me at ease. She arrived on time, bonded quickly with my dogs, and treated them like her own. She kept me updated throughout the day with adorable photos and let me know right away if anything came up. I’d absolutely book her again!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy building trusting relationships with every pet I care for. I understand that each dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, so I take the time to provide individualized care that helps them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. As a doctoral student in clinical psychology, I'm accustomed to being responsible, observant, and dependable, which are qualities that naturally carry over into the care I provide for pets. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, needs a slower pace as a senior, or simply enjoys extra affection and playtime, I tailor my care to fit their needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications if needed, maintaining feeding and walking schedules, and providing regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and cared for as if they were my own, while giving owners confidence that their furry family member is in compassionate and capable hands. I'm currently on break from my graduate school program for the summer, so I have wide open availability throughout the week. I am available both mornings and evenings as well as weekends! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision, and I strive to provide dependable, attentive care that gives you peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine by following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication instructions, and any other preferences you provide. I respect your home, keep the environment clean and secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while you're away. During walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses, avoiding hazardous areas, monitoring weather conditions, and paying close attention to your dog's comfort and behavior. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience where your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, and where you can relax knowing they're in responsible and caring hands.
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 had 7 dogs over the last 24 years, two lived to be 18 and 19 yrs old. I was known for many years as the Brookland Dog Lady. This is the only time in my adult life that I have only one dog. I currently have one 2-year-old Cockapoo named Peaches. Peaches loves most dogs and people and is generally confident and submissive. She’s very good with large, young, and old dogs alike. My house is fairly quiet. Over my 24 years of experience with my own dogs and watching friends dogs, I have dealt with just about every health problem and ailment. I am experienced with puppies, seniors, providing insulin, doggie diapers, prescriptions and just about anything else you can think of. I love walking dogs through my neighborhood. I have a fully fenced backyard as well. I work primarily from home so I can provide a lot of attention and supervision. They are like children to me. I work from home so I’m never gone for more than a few hours. My daily schedule starts with breakfast for me and my dog, Peaches. I then take her out immediately to the backyard for a potty break. I then get ready for my day and work from home. I walk my dog in the afternoon every day with additional yard breaks throughout the day. We often stop to play with other dog friends along the way. I can do a second walk each day if needed. I feed her again around 6pm. I let her out again in the yard before bed. They would sleep in my bedroom at night - either on the floor in a dog bed or in bed with Peaches and me. I do have a doggy door that she can use as needed, but I do go out with her whenever she goes outside. I have a 7 ft wooden fence around my yard. I also have a gate across my front porch so that if any dog were to get out of the front door, they would not be able to get off the porch. Dogs are always leashed when outside of my yard. I have watched and cared for many dogs for my friends, family and neighbors over the years. I have also been "dogmother" (designated in the will to care for a dog if anything had happened to their human) by several friends and family.
“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❤️🙏🤗”
