We were nervous as it was our first time boarding Benny, but our anxiety quickly dissipated as we got regular updates and photos of him getting lots of attention, playtime, and individualized care.

About: Dogs have always been part of my family. I’ve loved and cared for Snoopy, Diesel, and Pepsi throughout their lives. I work from home, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and loving care while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep your home clean and secure, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

“Abigail was very attentive to the care note we left and provided a brief but descriptive summary of the check ins. We felt very comfortable having her take care of our kitties!”
“There are some really great pet sitters and then there are the ones that have that seventh sense about things that seem to know what's needed in the moment -- that's Hadley. She was so careful to do what was asked but she also did what no human can know that you will need in a LIVE moment. What a great sitter! Thoughtful. Wise. Kind. On time. Organized. Respectful. Great Communication. Really and truly One-of-a-Kind.”

“Whitney did a wonderful job! The kitties loved her and she followed all instructions to a T. Best pet sitting experience on rover so far—I have already rebooked with her.”

“We've booked Janelle a few times now to help administer medicine to our epileptic cat and she's everything you can ask for in a pet sitter. She's dedicated, flexible, and does a great job of communicating with us!”
“Andrea was FANTASTIC!! We’ve left chip alone for about 36 hours in the past without a sitter and she always seemed anxious when we got back. This time around, we were gone for 3 1/2 days but had Andrea stopping by 2 times per day. Chip was in such a better mental state when we got back! Andrea texted me each time she stopped by and sent photos of chip which really made me feel good and eased my mind. I hope to use Andrea every time we go away!”
“Samuel did a great job with our two cats - came back to a clean place with the cats seemingly all well. Samuel was also communicative and responsive. I recommend!”

“Anne did a great job with my cat. He’s a shy cat who doesn’t come out for many people but Anne was able to get him to come out of hiding. I’d recommend Anne to anyone who needs someone to check in on their cat!”

“Thank you so much again for watching my baby 🐶. I will definitely book him again. My baby was very tired, which was a good thing. She got home and ate and went right to sleep.”
“We’ve had June watch our puppy for many months now and I can’t believe I haven’t sung her praises until now. June has been the best dog sitter and 3rd parent to our dog! She’s communicative, helpful and as a new puppy parent, very helpful in reinforcing training (we think she’s better behaved at Junes!).”
“I was very pleased and grateful for Suvon’s care for my puppy, Cooper. It was very easy to arrange date and time, Suvon was very prompt and clearly explained what Cooper needs to bring and what I can expect while Cooper’s there (which were all amazing!). Suvon kept me posted very frequently with how Cooper’s doing and sent me amazing photos (ummmm... like studio quality with gorgeous backgrounds). Looks like Cooper had a great time, he came back home and is sleeping like a baby.”
“Theresa was amazing! Rosie had a great stay with her and T'Challa. Everything went perfectly, I'm so grateful that Theresa took such good care of Rosie while I visited the National Mall.”
“Once again, Christian knocked it out of the park! Jo Jo and Corduroy were thrilled to learn they were going back to their friend’s house today and they can’t wait to go back. Thank you for your excellent care today, Christian!”
“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“Precious and Devin were absolutely great hosts!! They kept me informed and made sure to communicate with me throughout the day! I really appreciate how warm and welcoming they were and the excitement that had in hanging with Bernard for the day! I could tell he enjoyed himself!! Highly recommend booking with them and will continue to do for future stays!”
“Mei regularly cares for my older dog Bear and she does a fantastic job. She takes him on walks and I feel confident that he will have a wonderful day in her care. I highly recommend Mei!”
“Thank you for taking care of our baby! Nicole was great - patient with Ethel, who was a little anxious. If we are ever looking for a sitter near DC again, we will absolutely reach out again!”
“Izzy and Brian are fantastic sitters. Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, which is great for day trips (esp if we hit bad traffic or end up leaving later than originally planned). They send photos and videos regularly! Dzov LOVES his friend Jax and Ziggy and is always pooped out from playing so hard with those two all day. They're always my first go-to for day care/overnight stays because they're reliable, friendly, and can handle my big doggo!”
About: I’ve had my own fur and feather babies all my life and taken care of many breeds of dogs, cats, birds (Conures, Lorikeets, Parakeets & Caiques to name a few), And I have been a pet foster home caregiver for over 10 years. I currently walk and board animals in my home, specializing in 1-on-1 care. I have work from home flexibility and I have dedicated hours for spending time with your fur baby if you need pet boarding. I accommodate my schedule to adapt to your pets normal home walking, activity & feeding schedule. Overnight stays include two walks per day, one in the morning and one before bed. Any additional walks are 20$. I provide reliable and loving boarding for cats, dogs, parrots, pocket pets & exotics. I also offer flexible drop off and pickup times. I’m located near Takoma Metro. My home is a low-stress, quiet sanctuary for all pets, especially shy or senior pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, parrots, exotics & pocket pets. I will walk your dog in my neighborhood or to the nearby park. I have a nice yard in which your dog can enjoy fresh air and exercise. I love spending time outdoors while walking dogs! Cats: I am with your cat during the day & set aside play time with them so they can chase ribbons, be rubbed or cuddled. Parrots: I spend quality time with your birds and allow them window space to see the outside world. I only board one animal at a time- unless they are from the same household, ensuring your pet receives quality care. My husband and daughter also assist with the care of your pet. This ensures that they are always cared for and supervised.

“Michael has been a reliable dog walker for us for over 6 months now. Romeo is 16.5, and Michael’s patience has been appreciated with some growing needs and a few extra steps in caring for a senior dog. Thank you, Michael, for your care and attention to detail 🙏🏽”

You can tell how much he loves and respects animals and I hope once Kiele gets over her anxiety we can use him 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.
“Michelle is amazing! Michelle took Charlie last minute (literally) to help me out as I had to cover a shift at work. I went with Michelle because we were fortunate to have her walk Charlie earlier this year when I had to go to New York for work. Michelle’s has shown the same consistent care and communication both times. She’s great and make sure to book her if you want to ensure your pet is well taken care of.”
