“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 :)”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since childhood, dogs, cats, and hamsters. I take pride in keeping animals and their spaces clean, safe, and comfortable. I regularly pet sit for family and friends. I bring patience, and compassion to every pet I met. I live by treating all animals with love. I am mom of 2 school aged kids and work full time with flexible hours from home. I am available most evenings, and weekends. I’m a great fit for house visits, and short term notice requests. I have a cozy den with a padded rug where my Frenchie Coco calls home. I have a xlarge crate available, but pets are welcomed to relax in the living room with their beds. My residence has a designated dog area and the neighborhood is very walkable.
“Holly is fantastic! She welcomed our pup into her house on very short notice, and was totally accommodating. She went above and beyond - in addition to regular walks she took our dog on hikes and spent many hours with her outside. She also gave our dog special attention - cuddling with her and making her feel welcome and loved. In addition, her own dogs were instant buddies and play mates for our pup. She even sent texts and photos so we could see! It was wonderful to know our pup was in such amazing hands and having such a great summer vacation while we were out of town. Our dog came home totally happy and exhausted! I HIGHLY recommend Holly if you want to give your dog a true vacation full of fun and love!”
“My dog loves Artina! When she comes to pick him up, he basically forgets who I am 😊. She has been watching him since he was a pup. I would highly recommend Artina. She is definitely my go to!”
“Janay took exceptional care of Dolly! She handled medication after Dolly had an unexpected tooth extraction right before we left, she kept our girl calm (Dolly can be anxious and reactive, but seemed to thrive with Janay), and she offered to pick up and drop off to accommodate our travel plans. Dolly was sad to see Janay leave, which is the best review of all. So grateful and cannot recommend Janay highly enough.”
“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!”
“Andrew and Allen were amazing! They had regular updates, cute photos, and made our dog super comfortable! We would absolutely ask them to cover again if we ever need!”
“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!”
“Briana was amazing! Daily pictures and updates let us know how well Bentley was being loved and taken care of!! Definitely felt at peace leaving our fur baby with Briana!”
“Donald and Jeffrey took excellent care of our shy rescue dog. It was very clear from the updates and pictures they sent that he was very at ease with them and well cared for. We are very grateful for their wonderful care!”
“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.”
“Lili did a great job taking care of our senior dog, Winnie. Lili is very responsive and responsible. She regularly sent photos and updates of Winnie and Winnie was clearly very comfortable with her. I definitely recommend Lili and we will ask her to hang out with Winnie again!”
“Jackie was so great! She has a great apartment for dog sitting and was very sweet in letting my dog sleep on her bed and feeding her treats throughout the day(as I requested!) I definitely recommend Jackie!”
“Another excellent stay with Diego and Coco! We needed a comfortable stay for our dog while out of town and everything went smoothly. She was happy to see Diego again when we dropped her off and daily updates reassured us she was doing well. Will book again in the future!”
“Melanie was incredible! It was my first experience with Rover, and she put me at ease right away. Her confidence, delightful demeanor, and genuine affection for my dog was amazing. I will absolutely recommend her services again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Cierra watched our little Phoebe over our wedding weekend. She was very communicative and provided lots of updates on how she was doing. This was great to help put our mind at ease during a stressful time. Phoebe is a pretty anxious dog but she seemed to be relaxed during her stay. This was also the first time that we had sent Phoebe away rather than having someone stay at our house, so it was helpful to see that she settled in nicely.”

“Eric was the best!!! Very communicative, adorable photos (could have a side gig as a cat photographer!), and our cats who are usually sullen and grumpy when we return from a trip were completely calm and happy :) Will definitely be rebooking and highly recommend for anyone wanting a top-notch sitter for their fur babies.”
About: I've cared for cats of all ages and temperaments, from playful kittens to shy seniors who need extra patience. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, medication administration, and giving lots of love while you're away!
“Michael was punctual, easy to communicate with, and provided thorough updates about my two cats while I was away for 2 nights. Thank you, Michael!”
“This was our first visit away from our kitten, Nico, and I was incredibly nervous. However, Kayli took excellent care of our guy. She was incredibly communicative, gave Nico very well rounded visits (lots of snuggles, all of his favorite toys, etc.), and made sure to ask all of the right questions before our trip began. We will definitely be booking her again, Nico will miss her!”

“Absolutely amazing sitter. She left detailed notes after every visit, sent pictures, and clearly put a lot of care and attention into checking on my cat. I really appreciated how communicative and thoughtful she was, it made being away so much less stressful. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. Would absolutely book again!”
“Rachel took excellent care of our bunny! She was on time and sent thorough updates. She also took the most beautiful photos of him- we might need to frame them! Will definitely plan to hire her again in the future.”
“Eric took great care of my cat for drop-in visits over the holidays. He was always super fast to respond to my messages, including booking a couple extra days at the last minute when my trip was extended. He even watered my plants and left me a bottle of wine when one of the plants didn’t do well (which was totally not his fault). Thank you!”
“Kellye was responsible AND responsive while we were out of the country! She checked in on Gweng often and made sure she was fed, entertained, and also had her immunotherapy medication. Highly recommended for anyone with a feline companion in need of care!”

“Christina has sat for our 4 cats several times now for 1-2 weeks each time, and she's been truly great! It makes being away from our pets so much easier knowing we have such a trustworthy sitter to handle feedings, litter cleanings, inevitable hairball cleanups, and keeping them happy and stimulated.”
“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.”

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: hello! I’ve been a pet sitter for quite some time. I’ve taken care of dogs on and off over the years. I was a Rover house-sitter for 2 years and then took a break for travels and work. I’m now back to dog sitting and doggy day care! I’m happy to do long-term pet sitting, I tend to have a flexible schedule. I had a dog my own for 10 years, he was a small to medium sized Pomeranian. I now have another dog, he’s 3 years old and a greyhound-lab mix. He’s very mellow and really great with other dogs. He’s very well trained and responds to English and Spanish. I’m currently working from home. So, I am able to pet-sit throughout the day, take them on walks, and provide attentive care. I am available on weekends, as well. Your dog will be comfortable with me and my dog in our apartment. They won’t be alone and will have continuous company, either from me or my dog. Llano (Yano) is a mellow dog, so he tends to be easy going. I can take them on walks around the neighborhood. I am able to be there for them and keep a steady schedule for walking, feeding, and play time. My house does not have a fence, therefore they will not be off leash at any point outside. I can provide general care, meal prep, and brushing if needed.
“My pup absolutely loves Artina! She's great with puppies and Aries completely freaks out when he sees her. Couldn't ask for a better, more responsible daycare for the little one. And he can be a chewer! So grateful for Artina.”
“Josefa took special care of Indy and treated him with lots of love! She was very quick at responding to me and sent lots of pictures. I would definitely book again with her!”

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: We are responsible and experienced dog owners living on Capitol Hill who enjoy caring for dogs and providing them with a safe, comfortable home while their owners are away. We grew up with dogs and have always loved the companionship, energy, and personality they bring to a home. I understand how important it is to know your pet is well cared for, exercised, and treated with kindness. Our home is in a great dog-friendly neighborhood with several parks nearby for walks, playtime, and fresh air. We have a doggie door and a small outside area. We also have our own dog, Java, who is a friendly and an easygoing companion and enjoys having visiting dogs. We provide a calm, attentive environment where dogs can feel relaxed, safe, and part of the household. I look forward to welcoming your pet and giving them plenty of care, exercise, and affection while you’re away. I'm currently looking for work and have loads of time to provide companionship, love, and loads of walks for your furry family member. Between my husband and I, someone is always home to give your furry child attention and engagement. I have a two story house with a fenced in backyard and deck. We have several dog parks near bye. Our dog is medium sized, and very easy to get along with. We go on tons of walks ourselves so adding one more just makes it more fun.
“Lidia was great! She always arrives exactly on time, is attentive to the details we discussed, and sends cute photos. I would definitely recommend her”
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.
“Madison was great! Very communicative leading up to the booking, kind with my dog, asked good questions, and super friendly. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life. Growing up I had the main responsibilities of walking our dogs (shih tzu and Labrador) as well as feeding them. I’ve loved dogs my entire life and after college finally got my first dog! As a dog parent I understand what makes a great sitter: reliable, great communication, and a genuine love for dogs. I am excited to meet your dog and take care of him/her just like I would my own dog! Right now my weekends are completely free and my weeks vary from work from home to in the office depending on the day! I can be flexible when needed though! I have a great neighborhood to walk dogs in plus a nearby dog park. I will abide by your rules to make sure your dog feels at ease the entire time.
“I had a great experience working with Russell. He was always on time, very attentive, and clearly took the responsibility seriously. My pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for every time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I could tell Russell was very engaging and genuinely enjoys what he does. I’m extremely grateful for his help and would absolutely look forward to working with him again.”
“Eric has been super great on walks with our dog, Mellie. He’s also super flexible and accommodating with times. Mellie loves him and he’s been a very happy dog!!”
“Wilber had a great first walk with Mike. I received a detailed report and some great pictures. Mike even received Wilber’s seal of approval via some face kisses and the opportunity to rub his belly!”
About: While growing up I helped my family run a dog sitting business out of our home. I am very experienced at walking and caring for dogs, especially medium to large breeds. I also grew up with two dogs of my own, a labrador and a beagle, who are both currently 14 and still incredibly healthy. I'm a big advocate for proper exercise, mental stimulation, and real food. Current student available to for walks / check-ins until Mid-August! Not accepting reoccurring bookings. Available on weekdays and on weekends on a case by case basis. I am more than happy to take dogs on longer walks or even runs. I grew up with labradors (and one very active beagle) so I am used to dogs with high activity needs. I am also comfortable caring for shy/timid dogs that need extra time adjusting to new humans. I am slow and intentional with my interactions and don't mind a little extra work to built trust.
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!
About: I have lived with or cared for friends' dogs and cats for many years. While I was never able to have my own dog, I helped my friends every chance I could get! I am a flexible and reliable sitter for your pets! I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I am currently on summer break from my PhD Program, so I have a ton of flexibility and availability to take care of your pets! I am very flexible during the day and happy to do quick check-ins, house-sit during the day, or overnight! Taking care of your pet will be my full focus! Being in summer vacation provides me with the time and energy to treat every pet as if they were mine. I aim to follow their routine closely and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. For the safety of myself and your pets, I prefer to walk one dog at a time unless the dogs do very well together on walks.
About: I’ve walked and cared for many kinds of dogs, and loved my time with all of them! I’m experienced with leash manners, medical needs, reactivity, and physical restrictions. I have a very flexible work from home schedule that allows me to walk, drop in on, or stay with your furry friend as often as needed! I treat your space and pet’s routine with the same care I do my own. I understand trust is everything when it comes to your home and pets, so I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and leaving the space as I found it.
