We highly recommend Kerstyn; your dog will be in excellent hands with this caring sitter!”
“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”

“I had a great experience meeting with Fernanda during our meet and greet. She's friendly, professional, and took the time to get to know both me and my cat (even though she was hiding!). I appreciated how thoughtful she was in asking questions about my cat's routine, preferences, and care needs. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals and wants to provide the best possible care. The meet and greet left me feeling confident and comfortable about leaving my cat in her care. I would absolutely recommend Fernanda to other pet parents looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“First time leaving this particular pet with a sitter. Couldn’t be happier with the care and attention Jana provided! And beyond being lovely with my pet, she was also very nice and flexible when my schedule changed.”
“Danielle was punctual, responded quickly, accommodating and you can tell she loves dogs. She was very patient and kind with my dog. I will definitely use her again.”
“Clara was great! She looked after my cat while I was on vacation and always made sure to send pictures! When my cat’s medications arrived later than scheduled, she made sure to pick them up! We are so happy she was able to take care of our cat!”
“Mary was great with my cat! She was quick to respond when arranging the booking and she took excellent care of my cat while I was away. It was great peace of mind to have her caring for Rose while I was away!”
About: Since rescuing a stray cat in 2021, I have been responsible for every aspect of her daily care, including feeding, cleaning the litter box, grooming, administering medication when needed, and monitoring her health and behavior. Caring for a rescued cat has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to earn the trust of shy or anxious cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I always strive to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared
“Hana is great! We’re very particular about our cat needs, and she does a great job of following our directions. I feel good leaving our cat in Hana’s care. She’s very sweet and communicative.”
“Sarah took the best care of our cat Tilly when we were traveling. She sent us pictures and updates each day and spent extra time to help her adjust to us being gone. You can tell she loves animals and we plan to use her again.”
“I don’t think words will do justice in describing the level of care and professionalism Audrey provides, but I will try. She kept me updated on everything throughout my trip, sent photos of every pet every day, did everything correctly, and to top it off, has the personality of a ray of sunshine. If you are lucky enough to book Audrey on Rover, know there isn’t a single thing you’ll need to worry about. I’ve never had this kind of peace of mind while traveling, and I absolutely will be rebooking🩷”
“Caden was great at taking care of Thelma & Louise for a last minute booking. He communicated well and showed pictures of them eating since one of my cats eats fast especially when anxious. He did a great job sending pictures too. Highly recommend Caden for your summer vacations!”
About: As my headline says, I had six cats at once growing up, so I understand that patience and respecting a cat’s boundaries are essential. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from borderline feral to practically dog-like. I know that not every cat wants to be approached or handled right away. I’m happy to let them come to me on their own terms, while still making sure they get the attention and care they need. I’m comfortable administering medication, grooming, cleaning litter boxes, and handling the less glamorous parts of cat care—including disposing of the occasional “gift” they leave behind. I’ve dealt with cats bringing home everything from birds, bats, bunnies, and mice to insects, so very little surprises me anymore. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable and their routine as normal as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Hannah did an amazing job watching our cat while we were out of town for the week! She checked in regularly and sent pictures each visit. Would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I have owned pets for the last 15 years, both cats and dogs. I am available any day, any time for walks or drop-in visits! I am comfortable walking aggressive dogs. I absolutely love animals, and will provide the best care for your pets! I am available any day, any time - my schedule is open to drop in or go for a walk anytime you need, even multiple times per day! I will honor whatever advice or instructions provided, and I am comfortable/experienced in dealing with shy or aggressive pets. First and foremost, safety is important. I will always take the utmost care in making sure your pets are responsibly cared for and I will never put them in a risky or dangerous situation.
“Charlie is such a great cat sitter! Charlie provides detailed updates, is very responsive, and gained our cats trust quickly. If you are reading this, look no further and book Charlie!”
“Amber has been great each time she has cared for Nugget. She’s patient with Nugget’s mini attitude and has even been able to pet her which is rare for someone to do when I’m away. I appreciate the bond she’s established and how she keeps in contact with me. Amber will even do extra tasks like clean the litter area even though I forgot to ask that when we first established the details of care. Amber is and will continue to be my first call when I need someone to care for my fur baby.”
“Karsyn was awesome! We went away for 8 days (the longest we’ve ever left our cats) and I was really nervous but Karsyn took great care of our kitties and sent lots of photos :)”
“Larissa is a fantastic sitter for your pet/pets! My 2 kitties were very well cared for by Larissa! She gave them the attention they needed and the photos she took showed this! Thank you Larissa!”
“Catherine went above and beyond for our drop-in visits! I was so happy to leave George in good hands, with great walks and playdates with her dog Winston! Thank you so much for everything you do!!”

“My dog, as best I can tell, had a very fine time with Lee and her pup, Lucy. We were very happy with Lee and would use her again, without question. Thanks Lee!”
“My maltipoo had a great time with Asma! Asma quickly helped him feel situated in a new environment, and she was caring, fun, and patient with him (she also shared some new treats for him which he loved). Asma’s also very responsive and sent nice updates of their day together. Looking forward to the next time!”
About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** **For house sitting you must be ok with my dog Buddy coming with me and staying at your house as well.** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.
“Michael took great care of my boy! Lots of play and attention; he came home tired out in the best way. Even gave him a brushing! He was also willing to be flexible with my uncertain timing, which was much appreciated. I would book with him again, no question.”
“Christian is a wonderful dog sitter and walker! He ask great questions, is very caring with my high energy chocolate lab Waffle. He’s easy to communicate with. Would recommend him to anyone.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years- I am great with all breeds and have a knack for training puppies (and older dogs too!) I am working from home and live right along a beautiful pet friendly park! I go on walks and runs throughout the day so love taking pups out with me! I ensure dogs are well taken care of and have experience administering different medications to dogs (including allergy injections) and following dietary restrictions or other needs. I show a lot of love and affection to pups and will keep them occupied and hopefully burn some of their energy playing and going on walks/runs!
About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can put up inside the house up if need be. We usually don’t like dogs going in the basement, mainly because that’s the kids area and there are lots of small items and toys they can get into.
“Summit had a great day with Jessica! He was given two long walks and had fun playing with Jessica's dog. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and just absolutely adore them! I’m a long time dog lover, and have experience helping a fellow Rover Dog walker/Dog sitter care for pups many times! I also work in the emergency department, so staying calm and getting the job done are a huge part of my day to day! I currently work shift work, so on the days I’m off, I am free to dedicate a lot of time to making sure your dog is well cared for and having the best day! I have a spacious apartment in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of space for long walks! There’s also a nearby dog park and plenty of other parks for us to enjoy some play time.
“Laura is a real professional. She invested time to find out my pup’s needs before our scheduled daycare. She communicated very clearly with us throughout the day. Most importantly, my dog was so happy and well cared for when she was with Laura. I highly recommend her!”
“Haley was amazing with our little puppy!!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch him, she had so many updates throughout the day! We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Vernon took lovely care of our boy! He was communicative, timely and flexible. He took our request at the last minute and adjusted to our schedule. He is efficient and I could tell that our boy had a good time. This was our first time using Rover and he gave us the peace of mind. We will definitely be using him again!”
“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”
“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!”
About: I’m a proud dog dad to Rambo, my Golden Retriever, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. Raising him has given me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic training, leash manners, and all the attention and care that comes with being a dog owner. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and behaviors, including dogs that can be reactive in certain situations. This has taught me to be patient, pay close attention to body language, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and adapt my approach to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that every dog is different. Some love long walks and constant playtime, while others prefer their space and a calmer environment. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the same way I’d want someone to treat Rambo—with patience, attention, care, and plenty of love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine with Rambo, my Golden Retriever. My days already include walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of time dedicated to him, so caring for another pet fits naturally into my schedule. I’m also flexible and can plan around your pet’s routine and needs. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and the owner’s instructions, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and I always make sure they’re introduced safely and comfortably to Rambo.

About: I have loved dogs since I could remember. I’ve had pups of my own and currently have a small Yorkie who I adore, but grew up with a German shepherd who was the best. I’m a nurse and am looking to maximize my puppy time on my time off! I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I’m more than happy to administer medication if needed. Whatever you need, I’m here for you! I’m happy to do drop ins, walks, feeding, whatever you need! I only work 3 days per week and have a lot of flexibility for morning and mid day walks. I live in a pet friendly building with a dog run. I’m happy to crate your pups if that is how they feel safest. I have one 7 year old Yorkie.
“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”
“First walk with our boy Ziggy and she was great. On time, took him out to the dog park, he came back tired. All you can ask for! Super nice and asked all the right questions. We felt very comfortable with her.”
About: Hi! My name is Meera and I am 23-years-old. I grew up with four sweet dogs including a German shepherd, a Bull Mastiff, a Belgian Malinois, a terrier, and a golden doodle. As an adult I’m the proud owner of an 8 lb chihuahua! I have the best of both worlds in terms of large breeds and small breeds. Given that I grew up with five very different dog breeds and their personalities, I understand every dog has their own unique needs. Some dogs are very family-oriented and are wary of strangers whereas other dogs are friendly with everyone they meet! Some dogs need more exercise whereas some dogs need less. Regardless of what your dog needs, my number one priority is to provide the best walking experience your dog can have to ensure the dog's and your happiness! I an a grad student and have a free schedule for the summer! Other days can be discussed. I am available for dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and more. I ready to care for your dog in the comfort of their home according to your instructions. I will tailor my care to the owner’s and pet's individual needs. Highly flexible.
“Sarah was great with my senior pup and her love for animals is clear. I appreciated that she was available for a meet and greet and booking on short notice. Would gladly have her care for Finn again!”
About: I love dogs and cats, and miss my own pets as I’m away from home. So I would love to help take care of your pets when you need an extra hand! My availability is during weekends for drop-ins/walks, but can be flexible for days. I can’t wait to hear more about your pet, just reach out! I work full-time, so I am mostly free on weekends. That can be any time on the weekend, and if needed, can try for weekdays after work. For drop-ins, I will play with your pets and brush them if they enjoy that! And for dogs, would love them to take them for a stroll so we can both get our steps in!

“Anna is an incredible communicator. My pup and I are so lucky that we have found such a wonderful walk companion for her. She is a fun loving creature who needed someone with an understanding of her excitement on encountering other dogs as well as ensuring she has plenty of play.”
About: I grew up in pet household with 3 dogs (golden retriever, podeco, shitzu/terrier mix) and 1 cat, caring for all of them from puppy/kitten age. I have also co-lived with other dog/cat owners, and love taking care of my friends’ pets. I currently do not have a pet at home, but I’m the happiest when surrounded by furry friends 😊🐶🐱 I am a development economics researcher and typically from home on my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to pet sit most days of the week. I have deep respect and affection for animals, and I am very sensitive to their emotional needs. I believe dogs and cats love deeply and deserve the same back. I am very much aware of how to organize a home to ensure there are no unsafe circumstances that can endanger a pet. I am careful when it comes to feeding times, quantities and food type, as my family pets all had different dietary requirements, including at times preparing fresh vegetables and other foods to complement their kibble.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for everything from small dogs to large dogs, including a couple of Belgian Malinois. I frequently take care of friends’ dogs when they are out of town, providing walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention to help them stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my week. I have a pretty flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m very clean and organized, I can clean up after pets including messes or accidents to ensure home is tidy. I have a private, fenced-in patio with artificial grass for supervised potty breaks, plus I provide regular outdoor walks.
About: I have a pet Russian tortoise who requires special care and delicate handling that's more involved than, say, walking and feeding a dog or taking care of a cat. I have a pretty flexible schedule both this summer and into the fall. Pet care can easily be scheduled around my summer job and college classes. I make sure pets, my own and others that I've been responsible for, get plenty of attention. I don't leave them until all their needs have been met
