“Mallory and Max were so wonderful with our pup, Nora! They took care of her for 2 and half weeks while we were out of town. Nora got along so well with their dog, Argos, and she came back so happy!”
“Christine was great with my dog Murphy! We did a quick meet and greet prior to my trip and once on the trip she sent photos and updates of how he was doing. She was super flexible with pickup time and Murphy seemed to have a great time with her. Would definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Juliet was AMAZING. I boarded my dog with her for a few days and could not have felt more confident that he was being well taken care of. She asked about all his needs beforehand and communicated with me throughout the stay. She sent pictures/updates often and no doubt my dog loved staying with her and her dog Romeo. HIGHLY RECOMMEND JULIET — we certainly will be reaching out to her again.”
“Lauren took great care of our dog during our first trip away from home without him. She met with us beforehand and asked all the right questions. She sent us regular updates and photos to let us know how he was doing. He also had a good time hanging out with Friday. I highly recommend Lauren!!!”
“Andy took great care of my puppy! Not easy with a 5 month old golden doodle, but Bixby had many walks and a backyard to spend this energy. It was a good experience for him to socialize with Andy’s daughter and other dogs he dogs sits.I appreciated the daily pictures and videos. We won’t hesitate to reach out again.”
“Roxanna is the absolute best. You could not have a better person to work with or to take care of your pet. Her communication was awesome. She sent pictures and videos while we were gone. And her little doggie, Izzy is the sweetest thing ever! My dog, Roger and Izzy became best friends. It went so well- we plan to have doggie play dates in the future. So glad I met Roxanna and her sweet family.”
“This was Winston’s second time staying with Supon. I hate leaving Winston and Supon is the only one I trust leaving him with! He sends lots of adorable picture updates and takes the pups on lots of walks. Winston will be sleeping for days :)”
“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”
“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!”
“Mike and his family were wonderful. They took great care of Sasha ensuring she was well looked after. They also provided regular updates on how she was doing during her first stay with them.”
“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.”
About: I’ve wanted a dog ever since I could remember. At 16 years old, my dream finally came true and my family was blessed with our wonderful Maltese, Toby. He is now turning 12 years old this year! In addition to having experience with my own dog, many friends and family have asked me to take care of their fur babies. I’ve had experience with dogs as old at 16 years old and others as young as less than a year - I absolutely love them all! Saturdays and Sundays are free! I work 9am-5pm on the weekdays, Mondays and Fridays I work remote. Tuesday through Thursday I am in office, but my husband will be home to help. I live on the second floor of a condo, so no need to wait for an elevator to get outside! We also have a huge balcony if your fur baby just wants to get some fresh air. If we are in your home, I will make sure to follow all rules and ask questions if I’m unsure about the safety of your pet.
“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.”
“Kathleen was absolutely wonderful with a last minute booking for Astrid. I got lots of pictures and updates on how she was doing while I was out of town, and her home and fenced-in backyard were perfect for my active pup. She handled Astrid’s energy and separation anxiety very well and is clearly very experienced with dogs of all sizes, shapes, and personalities :)”
“This was our Moose’s second time staying with Mariela and the care that was provided was just as spectacular as the first time🤩 We received just the right amount of updates/pictures and felt at ease the entire time Moose was away from us. Most importantly, Moose was happy at pick-up and showed zero signs of stress. It was clear that he had a great time staying with Mariela and that he was super loved❤️”
“Daniel took great care of Bro. He had great communication with us and made us feel like Bro was really being loved and cared for. Highly recommend and will definitely book again”
“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!”
“Morgan was an amazing dog sitter for my whoodle, Cash! She asked so many great questions before watching him, and gave plenty of updates throughout the stay. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone in the area who has a dog. She went above and beyond and was super kind. Thank you!”

“Gregory was wonderful! He let my cat take her time to warm up to him over the course of a few days, sent pictures, and even stayed longer than he needed to. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and everyone!”
“Becca was amazing with both of my cats! I really appreciated how much she catered to their different needs and was able to make more shy cat feel comfortable enough to make an appearance and my more social cat entertained with her favorite things! Her communication and pics were just what I needed to give me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Hana was fantastic with my cat Milo! She made sure to send a daily update with photos while I was away, and Milo was happy and healthy when I returned home! Definitely looking forward to working with her again soon!”
“Jessica did a great job with my 3 cats! She gave them a lot of interaction/playtime and sent detailed notes and pictures. I rested easy on my trip knowing they were happy and cared for!”
“Anna was wonderful as always! I so appreciated her photo updates - Minerva the kitty clearly loved having her around. She even went above and beyond to ensure a package I left behind made it out!”
“Erin came by to see my kitty a couple times while I was on vacation, and took such good care of him! She cuddled with him and made sure his litter, water, and food were taken care of! I know my kitty loved having her as his companion while I was gone. She was easy to communicate with! I would certainly recommend Erin for your pet sitting needs!”
“Shannon was a lovely housesitter for my two cats. She was very patient with my one cat who needs medication twice a day and is a very finicky eater. We already have her booked to watch them again!”
“Megan took great care of my senior cat, Betty White! My request was super last minute and Megan was a lifesaver. She was super communicative and was able to do my cats medication as well. Will definitely use her again!”
“Anne took fantastic care of our cat while we were away for the weekend - she sent pics and communicated after her visits too which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Hig was so great with our kittens!!! She did drop in visits for our 4 month old energetic kittens who need a lot of attention, and she was wonderful with them! She played with them and held them a lot (which they love!), and she spent even more time with them than what we booked! 😊 The kittens looked like they loved her! We were worried to leave our young kittens for the weekend but Hig was so sweet and caring for them. Will definitely book her again!”
“Kaitlyn took wonderful care of our two cats over the holiday week. We received multiple pictures every day and constant status updates on our little gremlins nefarious activities (there’s always at least one). Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“Lauren was great with my two girls! My kitties warmed up to her, she followed all their care instructions perfectly, and left the place looking exactly as I left it. She sent lots of cute photos and videos, which I loved getting on my trip. I highly recommend Lauren!!!!”
“Shannon was incredibly communicative and kind. We were navigating a very skittish cat and she was incredibly compassionate and understanding. I would recommend her to any family.”
“Nothing but praise for Jane! I had to leave on short notice and Jane lucky accepted to watch my Oreo. She was professional while also showing your love of animals. She kept incontact with me the whole time and sent me a few photos of my little guy. I think Oreo was a little sad to leave because he enjoyed himself so much! Highly recommend Jane for any and all! Thank you so much for taking care of my kitty!”
“Amber is fantastic! She watched our cat for a week while we were on vacation; she was very communicative and always sent us photos/an update of how he was doing. We'll definitely be calling her again when we go out of town!”
“Audrey was amazing and saved my trip last minute when I had a cancellation. When I came home my cat was relaxed with all litter boxes cleaned. I cannot recommend Audrey enough! Fully trust her and look forward to my next booking with her.”

“My 12lb mini poodle turns into a sled dog, pulling me to Supon's front door, every time we're on the street. We're all so grateful for Supon's caring environment and fantastic communication.”
“Lee was incredible with Edith. She handled her slight anxiety like a pro and was flexible when we needed to shift our timing a little. We'll definitely be booking with Lee again.”

Even when Pisco wasn’t feeling the best she made sure he was comfortable and kept me informed. Would definitely recommend her and return for more bookings!”
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.
About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
“Julia was amazing! Remi (golden puppy) had a great time at her place and enjoyed her other dogs. Also Julia did a great job of sending photos through out the day! Definitely would recommend.”
“My doggie had a wonderful time with Asma and her pooch Mica! She was super considerate of his idiosyncrasies, and planned out a wonderful, well balanced, day care day for him.”
“Roshni is amazing with our dog. She is super communicative with us, super patient and loving with him, and overall a good human as well :) We have a very high bar for who we leave our dog with, and Roshni has cleared it with ease and earned our absolute trust.”
“Andy is so responsive and easy to book. He exudes kindness and clearly loves dogs. My puppy went right to him and was happy to return again the next day. Coordinating pick up and drop off was a breeze and he sent lots of photos and updates. It’s clear why he has so many great reviews. I look forward to using him again soon!”
“Mac has been an absolute lifesaver! I had to return to the office for 5 days for the first time since I got my dog, Ham, and let's just say he's a little clingy. A lot clingy. Mac has been able to give Ham all the love and attention he needs, and I know Ham loves it at Mac's by how excited he gets when we turn the corner to Mac's street each morning. I am so relieved that I found someone who loves Ham as much as I do. Mac is really the best.”
“Jie was very kind, flexible and provided a safe, engaging space for my young dog's first experience at daycare. She took care to select appropriate pack dynamic for play and even worked on some 'place' and calm stay training throughout the day with her, which was unexpected and awesome. My dog loves her, and is always excited to visit. Totally 100% recommend Jie without reservation and hope to use her services again soon!”
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.
“Isabella was wonderful with Rolo! She was very sweet, patient, and made sure he felt comfortable the whole time. We really appreciated her care and the updates. Would happily book with her again!”
“Jack was fantastic!! He took great care of our 8-month-old puppy. He took her on lots of walks, taught her a new trick, and sent us regular photo and text updates. I would use him again in a heartbeat. Our dog was happy and tired when she came home!”

“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.”
About: I’ve been dog walking/sitting for about 2-3 years now informally back in New York, just moved to the Bethesda area so I signed up for this app to be able to continue doing so. I have no formal training, but growing up on a farm I have a deep appreciation for animals! I’m currently unemployed, so I can take care of dogs during the day or in the evening. I feed my Millie at 5:30 am sharp, so I am available anytime after that. My Millie is quite picky, so I am very used to any unusual rules you may have for you animals. I am very protective and cautious with animals!
About: I've had a dog my whole life and love taking care of pets. I've been known to walk my neighbors dogs and water their plants when they need the help. I recently ran a half marathon so I would happily take your pet for long walks and even a run. I'm very responsible and nurturing, so I would love to channel that energy into your pet instead of my roommates for a bit. Let me help you give your pet the exciting life they deserve. I'm a full time college student, with a good amount of free time during the summer time, so I would be able to care for your pet whenever it's needed. I plan on taking pets out in the cooler parts of the day, and if the weather is too hot, I feel comfortable entertaining a pet inside, so they can get some of their wiggles out. I have administered medication to dogs several times and feel very comfortable taking care of dogs of all ages.
“Dominique was great with Bear! He accommodated Bear’s grumpiness and was attentive to my concerns! He went above and beyond! Highly recommend him as your walker!”
“Julie took time to get to know Olga before her walk, putting her at ease. She also looked out for her knack for sniffing out trouble on the walk, and paid attention to her rhythm and cues. I'm very glad Julie can help out caring for Olga!”
“Guiselle was absolutely wonderful! She was very kind, patient, and professional from start to finish. She sent great pictures during the walk and kept me updated with clear and consistent communication, which I really appreciated. The routes were well planned, and she made sure my dog got a thorough walk, even exceeding the scheduled time. She also made sure my dog had water for hydration afterward, which meant a lot to me. It was obvious she truly cares about the dogs she works with and takes her role seriously. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Guiselle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“Lilly was amazing! She kept me updated with notes and pictures and I know my pup had a wonderful time with her! I would definitely recommend her and will use her in the future!”
“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.”
“Holly did a great job with my dog during an extended weekend stay. She gave daily updates with pictures and was easy and flexible for drop off and pickup. Will use her again!”
“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!”
“Alexis and Andrew were great with taking care of our dog and very responsive. They sent pics daily and let know how he was doing with eating and his activities. I felt very comfortable with Hokie’s stay.”
