“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!”
“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.”
“Kaylee was fantastic. We got daily updates and pictures. We’ve left our dog with a few different borders on Rover, but this was the first time we picked up our dog and she was calm, relaxed, and not her anxious self. Usually we get our dog back and it was evident that she was very anxious in our absence. Not this time! This was proof to us that Kaylee was a fantastic border and we will be using her from now on when we go on trips.”
“Alphonsus was great! This was Raleigh’s first boarding in our new city, and he made the experience as easy as possible. He kept me updated throughout, provided a comfortable home, and Raleigh came back very content. I’d definitely book 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!”
“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!”
“I cannot recommend Alli enough! Our dog Bibi came home just as happy and healthy as when we left her, and Alli was great about sending photo updates. I hope that Bibi has a chance to stay with Alli and her family again in the future!”
“Another great overnight stay with June! Banks gets the absolute best care while staying with June and we’ll be back soon. He’s her little buddy now :)”
“I cannot recommend Carolin enough for anyone in need of top-notch pet care! From the moment I dropped off my pup Coco with them, I knew he was in great hands. Carolin provided updates and photos regularly, which gave me peace of mind during my conference. It was evident that Coco was not only well-cared for but also genuinely loved during his stay. I returned to a happy and healthy pup, which is all any pet owner could ask for. Thank you, Carolin, for your exceptional care and attention to detail. I will definitely be booking with you again in the future!”
“Margaret was very responsive and flexible with my travel plans! She took great care of Howie and sent updates through his stay. He came back happy and well taken care of!”
“This was our second time having Nike stay with Michelle. We knew Nike was happy to be there because when we arrived, she ran up the stairs into Michelle's apartment! Michelle sent lots of photos as usual and Nike once again had a mini vacation.”
“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.”
“I am very grateful to Rachel for how well she took care of Lucy. She was very attentive to her irritation in her belly and placed compresses on them and changing her clothing. She sent me daily updates with super cute photos. Before meeting, she reached for any special instructions which she took care of following. I felt secure that she was well taken care of. Thank you Rachel! ⭐️”
“Scott was fantastic with our dog, Zoe! She had such a great time that she didn’t even want to come home. She stayed with him for a week, and he sent us photo updates multiple times throughout her stay. Communication was super easy, and it was clear she was happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be using Scott as our go-to dog sitter from now on!”
“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!”
“Arti was such a great dog sitter! She cared for my adult dog for a full weekend and made sure she was happy, well fed, and got plenty of play time. Arti also sent so many cute pics, I loved seeing them come through. I would certainly recommend and would book again!”
“Mona took amazing care of our large breed, high-energy puppy while we were out of town! She is quick to respond, and a great communicator, providing updates and pictures throughout the stay. She helped us keep our puppy on her regular training schedule to make the transition as easy as possible. I highly recommend Mona to anyone who needs a sitter! She made the entire process extremely easy. 10/10 service”

“This was our first visit away from our kitten, Nico, and I was incredibly nervous. However, Kayli took excellent care of our guy.

We will definitely be booking her again, Nico will miss her!”

“Nina was phenomenal and I could not recommend her more! She took great care of my cat, and he warmed right up to her. Nina was very communicative, attentive, and gave detailed updates. If you are looking for a great sitter, Nina should be one of the first you consider!”
“While I didn’t actually get to meet Edmond and Nafis, they were very easy and pleasant to work with. They were also accommodating when my trip got unexpectedly extended. I got detailed summaries of each visit and lots of pictures which always puts my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking them again in the future.”

“Abby did a great job with my cats. She checked in when she said she would, provided my cats the care and attention they needed, and sent me photos with every check in.”
About: I’ve cared for cats with a variety of personalities, ages, and routines through house-sitting, pet-sitting, and helping friends and family over the years. From playful and social cats to shy seniors who need a little extra patience, I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust and keep them comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, maintain litter boxes, monitor behavior, and provide plenty of affection and companionship. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their cats are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Vanessa was amazing with our cat! She sent tons of photos and provided a lot of detail for each visit. She also successfully administered our cat’s inhaler!”
“Andrea has become my go to pet sitter for my cat Whiskey. She is everything you could hope for and more - responsible, responsive, flexible, and kind. She is always my first choice when booking check ins. I highly recommend Andrea.”
“I loved having Katarzyna take care of my cat while I was away in a work trip. Despite the last minute request, she took the time to meet up before I left to meet my finicky kitty. She treated my anxious cat with the perfect amount of care and respect. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was very young, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a pug, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently a nursing student on break, and most of my classes during the semester are online. This means I’m home full-time on all non-clinical days and have plenty of time to give your pets my full attention. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. Safety is always my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet pug, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and personalities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure dogs are supervised, fed on schedule, and kept in a safe environment. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, follow any routines you prefer, and give your pup plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”
“June has been taking care of our pup for most of her life (2 year old Shih Tzu)! Not only is she a super experienced sitter/caretaker she’s also truly happy to have our pup with her! Shes now “Aunt June” and Pepper LOVES staying with her. June also has a wealth knowledge on dog care and health and really helped us figure things out as first time dog owners. Can’t say enough good things about June!”

“Attentive pet care from a very competent dog owner. Ohana is excited to arrive in the mornings, and returns home calm and stress free as a result of the good company and good mental engagement and playtime with Louie. 10/10”
“Nina was great! We were on vacation and had a last minute change of plans. Nina responded quickly to our inquiry and was able to accommodate us last minute. She took great care of Shadow! I would use her again if we’re ever back in DC ?”
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.
“Emily was so great with our puppy. She was great at communicating with us, took lots of pictures, and our puppy was throughly tuckered out and the end of the day. It was great to be able to leave him in such good hands.”
“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.”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of all ages. I tend to like animals more than humans. I have learned to train my own stubborn puppies. I know the importance of trust when it comes to caring for other pet parent's fur babies. I work from home so I have flexibility on timing and days. Although I cannot provide boarding, I can provide lots of play time and walks. I cannot provide boarding in my home or do overnight in home care. I'm happy to do visits multiple times a day to care for your fur baby.

I especially love the daily updates and photos they send during the walk, which gives me so much peace of mind while I'm at work."”

About: I have rescued and cared for multiple street dogs to full recovery, as well as having had my own. I currently have an English Cocker Spaniel, who has a lot of energy, but I found I still have more care to give. I used to work at a no-kill animal shelter for about 3 years, caring for dogs of all ages and illnesses. Highly experienced with puppies and senior dogs, with some cat care. I’ve provided dog training services, maintained training regimens, provided physical therapy, administered medication for all ages and conditions, and has experience with all temperaments of dogs. I look forward to sharing my love, care, and experience with your furry family member! I am currently working from home and found extra time in my schedule to give more care to pets. My mornings are generally more available and fluid. I live in a townhouse with a small front yard. For boarding or pet sitting in my home, I look forward to having another fur baby to be friends with my own. But I can give that same care in your home if need be!
About: I've been around animals 24/7 since I was 7. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on and care for their dogs and cats for decades. I have experience with kittens and puppies, as well as rescued animals, pets with PTSD, blind cats and dogs, and aging pets in late stages of life. I grew up with dogs and horses, and now have cats at home. I am self-employed, giving me a flexible schedule to care for your pets! With 24-hours notice I can be available for walks, check-ins, or over-night care. We currently cannot accept boarding or pet care in our home as our kitten is not socialized with other animals. I respect the rules and wishes of my clients in how their pets are cared for, and recognize that every pet's needs are different.
“Rakel did an amazing job! She was so sweet, attentive, and professional. We have 2 pitbulls (who can be quite the handful) and she conquered the task effortlessly. I will 1000% rebook her!”
“Audrey and Christopher are AMAZING!!!! They took my booking kind of last minute, had amazing communication, brought poop bags, and walks my puppy over 2 miles in just an hour!!!! They’re the best and I will for sure be booking them again!!!”
About: I've walked, fed, loved, and taken care of dogs for close to 16 years, from pit bulls to huskies to poodles. If your dog needs a temporary friend, I'm your guy. Now, I have my dog-sized cat Figaro, who has known me for 7 years. Being a doting Cat Dad has prepared me well for making sure your cat gets the TLC they need! I work remotely full-time and am very mobile, always ready to drop in when needed or to sit in for extended periods. Maybe your buddy can even help me out with a spreadsheet or two. It's all about the details. Number one: food in the dish (as appropriate), water in the bowl. Nobody misses a meal or goes thirsty with me. Secondly, where are they? Are they on their cat tree, are they off to cause mischief, are they waiting on the couch to play? At all times, I have this information for safety and for optimal picture-time. I don't need the little guy to come out of his hiding spot, I just need to know he's safe.
“Nina was amazing! She took my two dogs outside and made sure that they both went potty and then fed them dinner. She communicated with me and I felt really comfortable with her taking care of my dogs! I would definitely have her take care of my dogs again.”
“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!”

“Jada and Naz walked our two poodle mixes at 10pm every night while my husband was out of town for 18 nights. One of our dogs is anxious and reactive, but they were able to work with her kindly and effectively. They had very good communication and were good-spirited even when it was raining.”
