“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“Caleb was great with my cat! He was very flexible with pickup and drop off (which was extra helpful for tricky travel days) and was super nice. Would definitely recommend him to anyone to watch their pet!”
“Katie was very accommodating. Since this was my first time using the service, I did not know what to expect. She kept in touch throughout my fur babies stay and sent pictures. She asked questions and gave me an opportunity to ask questions as well.”
“Beth took excellent care of our ~14 year old diabetic dog while we went away for a long weekend and was able to give her twice daily insulin shots. Even better, she lives 2 blocks from us, making the whole thing super easy and convenient. I'm sure Piggy appreciated being at home in her own neighborhood. 14/10, would do again! Thank you Beth!”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
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.

“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!”
“We needed a last minute sitter for three drop-in visits. Melanie was very responsive and made setting up a quick meet and greet easy. She followed all of our instructions and took great care of Parker. He can be pretty crazy meeting someone new and she did a wonderful job of calming him down and making it a great visit.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Lia is truly such a wonderful sitter. I’ve had her check in on my cat a few times now and have only good things to say. She has been so successful at giving my cat medication, and I really appreciate the level of attention she gives him as well.”
“I highly recommend Brendan. He took care of our cat while we erected away. He was on time for every visit. Provided daily updates and was very courteous during our initial meet and greet. I would definitely use Brendan again.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Ezgi is so so reliable and such a great help for us - we were out of the country and she made sure we had plenty of updates on what was happening with our cat and worked with us when we encountered issues with our concierge system. Ezgi is always who we want to go to when we need someone we can trust!”
“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”
“Fatu was a great communicator and very responsive. She truly went above and beyond for my sweet kitty and we appreciate her help very much. She even set up a pet camera I ordered last minute, huge shoutout to her!”
“Adrienne has checked in on our Cat Prim many times while we travel! She’s always incredibly responsive, professional and kind. Thank you, Adrienne for always taking such good care of Primmy and sending the best pictures! :)”
“Hazel is an incredible cat sitter! Her attention to detail and communication is top tier! I felt 100% at ease knowing that Hazel was taking care of my cat when I was out of town. I would highly recommend Hazel as a pet sitter!”

“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”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“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!!”
“I am genuinely so thankful I booked with Gil. I got so many updates throughout the day which was so appreciated and I always felt my Clyde was in good hands. My baby boy has such a wonderful time and was upset when I picked him up because he didn’t wanna leave his friends! I will absolutely be booking again.”
“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.”
“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.”

“We had a great experience working with Ashley for our 9 month old puppy. It was our first time using dogvacay and she was always quick to respond. I felt like our dog was in good hands with her and will definitely use her again if I ever leave town!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. Whether it’s providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes, going for walks, playing, administering basic care, or simply being a pet’s safe space while their favorite safe space is away. I have experience with both cats and dogs, and am comfortable around dogs of all sizes and breeds! I am patient, dependable, and caring. I always follow owners’ instructions and carefully maintain a pet’s normal routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care until you’re home again! I am currently a part time student so I have tons of time to fit into your schedule and care for your animals! I am incredibly flexible and willing to work with you so that I can provide you with reliable care. I am very attentive and responsible when it comes to any type of care. I will care and protect your animals as if they were my own, keeping them safe and cared for at all times

“Pamela did an excellent job walking Maeve and Freyja for the first time. She carefully followed all of my instructions, kept me updated with great communication, and made me feel confident they were in good hands. My dogs took to her right away, and it's clear she has a natural way with animals—I would happily book her again! She even took the time to clean their toe beans after walking them.”
“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!”
“Eric is absolutely amazing. My dog is a rescue, and he’s very strong, but Eric is patient, loving, and understanding with him. We truly could not have asked for a better dog walker, and we’re lucky to have Eric.”
“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!”
“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.”
About: Hello! My name is Brendan, and I recently moved to the DC area from Kansas City. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and currently am a proud “Cat Dad” to three cats named Betty, Tigger, and Miss Kitty. I have experience taking care of cats with medical issues, including my own Miss Kitty who has diabetes and I have managed with insulin for several years. I also have experience administering pills and oral medications to cats. This is currently my only full time job, so I can be available for drop ins, dog walking, or whatever other pet care you need on whatever schedule you need!! I know and understand how important animals are so I will treat your furbabies and your home like my own, with care, consideration, and lots of love!
“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: With 20 years of personal experience caring for my own pets -- including sweet senior dogs -- I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I'm a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience walking and sitting dogs and cats for friends and neighbors, and I always treat each pet like they're my own. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or needs a slower, more gentle pace, I'm here to provide reliable, loving care tailored to their needs. I’d be thrilled to get to know your pet! I'm currently between jobs, which means I have full availability every day of the week. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I'm happy to accommodate their regular routine -- including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care they need. I believe pets feel safest and happiest in their own familiar environment, so I prefer caring for them in their home where they’re most comfortable. I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine, and I always prioritize their safety -- whether that means securely locking doors on walks, keeping a calm atmosphere, or following detailed care instructions to the letter. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. While I generally don’t offer boarding, I’m open to discussing it on a case-by-case basis for the right fit.
“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: Hi, my name is Sofi! I work from home full-time, which allows me to spend plenty of time with pets. I’ve grown up with animals and have loved being around them my whole life. Since moving to the U.S., friends and people in my social circle have trusted me to pet sit, house sit, and take care of their pets, including dog walking. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex in a very walkable area, close to parks and green areas, perfect for daily walks and playtime. While I don’t have pets of my own, I truly enjoy their company and the joy, energy, and good moments they bring. I’m offering my services on Rover because I love spending time with pets and can provide them with attentive care while I work from home. I’m flexible on cost and cancellations. I’m happy to answer any questions or provide more details about me, you can reach out anytime, and I usually respond quickly. I work from home full-time, which allows me to easily integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is generally flexible, so I can take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day, rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed, ensuring they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day.
“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.”
“Haley has done a great job walking Wilson. She arrives on time and follows the instructions I have for the walk perfectly. I would highly recommend Haley for anyone who needs a good walker.”

“Haydenn was super responsive and wonderful with our 10 year old dog, Fern. We had to make a change in our plans at the last minute, and he was very accommodating. We would definitely use him again in the future!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Callen was absolutely amazing! I can't begin to thank her enough for taking care of my dog while I was out of town. I was nervous about leaving him to travel, but she sent lots of updates and always communicated in a timely manner. If you want to be at ease, I highly recommend Callen!”
