“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.”
“Mckinley watched my kitten Cashew over the July 4 long weekend, and she was awesome! A week before Cashew’s boarding stay started, she proposed a phone call to learn all about his care and any concerns I had. She sent consistent updates with photos/videos of Cashew throughout his stay, and he clearly had a blast playing with her cat!”

“Abigail did a great job caring for my dog over the 4th of July weekend. I was able to relax knowing my dog was in good hands. As a bonus my pup had a great time playing with sweet Stella. Abigail was easy to coordinate with, gave regular updates and also was very knowledgeable about dog play styles/dog behavior. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend Frida! Her and her partner have a sweet dog that was a great match for our 1.5 year old goldendoodle. They sent thoughtful updates that put our minds at ease, and we came home to a sleepy pup after a weekend away. Will definitely be reaching out again for care in the future!”
“Faustine was an amazing dog sitter and was super sweet, flexible with great communication skills. We super appreciate Faustine and we would 100% use her again!!!”

“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.”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Well it’s official — Milan and I have found our new trusted dog sitter! 🐾 We were specifically looking for someone closer to home, and Roxanne and Leo exceeded every expectation. From the moment we connected, I knew Milan would be in loving and caring hands. Roxanne provided consistent communication, daily updates, and the sweetest photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. For the first time in a long time, I was able to fully relax and enjoy my vacation stress-free knowing Milan was not only being cared for, but genuinely loved on and enjoying herself too. Milan truly had a little vacation of her own with Roxanne and Leo! I’m beyond grateful we found them. Finding someone you can fully trust with your fur baby is priceless, and I cannot recommend them enough. 🤍”

“Joe was great—easy-going and accomodating. My dog had a great time with Joe and two other dogs! He messaged me updates and photos during the 7 days away from our dog, which was very reassuring. Joe even took my dog on a 5 mile run! Will definately book with Joe again. This was the first time using Rover.com, and I highly recommend. I also highly recommend your dog stay with JOE!”

“Thomas was excellent with our two cats! He was easy to communicate with and took his time in playing, feeding, watering and cleaning after them. I looked forward to his updates and photos each day. He asked good questions about the cat's preferences and made sure to spend time connecting with each of them according to what they like. We'll certainly call on Thomas again for cat sitting.”
“Maria has been fantastic! From our very first meeting, she was incredibly responsive and professional. During every visit, she provided thorough updates that kept us at ease. Luxe, who usually sticks to the bed, actually spent his time waiting on the couch to greet Maria the moment she walked in. It was so heartening to hear how Luxe followed her around and how much they bonded on the couch together. We are so pleased with the care Maria provided!”
“Maria was totally awesome! She was able to help me out at the last minute with my two cats. She was competent, independent, and good at communicating. I would definitely recommend her!”

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.
“Dzov and Carl LOVED their day with Brian and Izzy. They had so much fun, neither of them woke me up the next morning... they were so pooped from having a blast with Jax and Ziggy. We got lots of fun pics and videos throughout the day. Carl and Dzov can’t wait to see their friends again!!”
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!
About: My husband Galen and I have both had dogs since we were in our teens. We are both experienced in caring and loving for our pups. As a couple we have owned pets together for 13 years. We are a US Air Force Family and have been stationed in DC for the past six years. We love how the community is a dog centric town!! Galen is full remote, meaning your pup will never be alone. We currently have a bulldog named Burrito. Our miniature american eskimo named Mojo unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge in December 2024. I love our dogs so much I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your BFF to a stranger. I promise I’ll provide your pet the love and attention they want or need as if they were my own. My husband is full remote and I unfortunately am back in the office full time. Galen will be home with the pups all day. I do an early morning walk and an after work walk while he does multiple midday walks. In the evenings we both are able to take the pups on long walks. We monitor any bones given and are in close proximity during feeding time. We also continuously reinforce good behaviors by pets, praise, and treats if you allow. We only accept one dog at a time. Pups are allowed on the couch. Bundy Dog Park is across the street, if you allow for additional exercise. Your dog will receive lots of pets, praise and love while in our home!
“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!”
“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.”
“Gil was great watching our pup for the day! Very responsive, friendly, and flexible with our somewhat up-in-the-air schedule. Would definitely recommend Gil to others and look forward to rebooking next time we are in need of a sitter.”
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!
“Asma is great! We had a nice meet and greet and Lulu has an awesome day with her. Asma was communicative and sent really cute photos throughout the day. Lulu the dog approved!!”

He set up time for an introductory video call, took lots of notes on our dog Sammy and our cat Lucy, and was very attentive.
