“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”

This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous, but Evan sent me updates with pictures frequently, giving me peace of mind that Lucy was in good hands! I highly recommend Evan for dog sitting and will definitely book him again!”
“We have always had friends offer to keep our dog when we travel. This year, knowing they had a lot going on, we did not want to ask. A friend who is a rover pet sitter suggested we find someone in our area. We reached out to several with no success. Then we read Colleen & Sean's profile and felt we had found the family. They responded very quickly, set up a date with a couple of days to meet and, for my husband and I, the right caretakers for our dog. They shared photos and details everyday to us. Since this was our first time with Rover, we were scared at the start and reassured it was the right decision everyday. As we retrieved our dog on the last day, we heard their daughter saying good bye to her, which reaffirmed, she for the week, was family. I highly recommend this incredible family.”
“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!”
“Andy looked after my dog while I was on a work trip, and I couldn’t have been more at ease. He kept me updated, and my dog was clearly happy and well cared for. She was even reluctant to leave and wanted to say goodbye to him. Highly recommend!”
“Brianne cared for our puppy during our holiday travels. She provided plenty of walks and play time. It was great that our energetic, friendly pup could spend time with a family and other dogs. Brianne sent pictures daily, so we felt at ease while we were away. She was excellent with communication, responding promptly when messaging on the Rover app. We picked up a very happy and tired pup after his stay. Would definitely book again!”
“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”
“Shaela took great care of our furbabies and was very patient with our puppy Dolly. She treated them as her own and they loved all the extra toys she gave them. Your pets are in excellent care with Shaela.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving our pet in her care. They were reliable, attentive, communicative, and clearly treated our pet like family. We received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that gave us so much peace of mind while away. Our pet was were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we returned — which says everything. It’s obvious they genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to make sure both pets and owners feel supported. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and exceptional!”

“We love Johanna! Millie can be a little anxious and Johanna just takes the best care of her. Johanna is also very responsive and continually sends sweet photo updates throughout Millie’s stay. We are so grateful to have found Johanna!”
“Katherin was amazing! She sent detailed and thoughtful updates about my dog’s stay, giving me at least three updates a day, with such cute pictures! She made sure my dog ate, brushed her teeth, and gave her long walks around the neighborhood. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I recommend Katherin, your pup will have the best stay!”

About: I have fifteen years of pet sitting and care experience, to include drop-ins, walks, feedings, litter box cleaning and overnight stays.

“Jessica was such an amazing house and cat sitter for our senior cat. She kept us up to date and spent so much time with him. We recently lost his brother cat before leaving on a long vacation. But Jessica took the time to care for him like her own and make sure he didn’t feel lonely. I am so appreciative of everything Jessica did during her stay with him. I highly recommend her for pet and home sitting!”
“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.”

About: Hi! My name is Christopher, and I've been caring for animals for most of my life. I grew up with my family's Chihuahua and have been pet sitting and dog walking for family and friends since I was 15 years old. I completed a Veterinary Assistant course at a nearby college and am trained in both dog and cat CPR and first aid. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including large dogs, high energy dogs, and senior cats and dogs that need a little extra patience and attention. I'm passionate about providing more than just the basics of pet care. I believe pets thrive when they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, enrichment, and individualized attention. I also place a strong emphasis on reading and respecting each animal's body language so that they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking partner, a dependable sitter, or someone to provide attentive care while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind and ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for! I have full availability until June 27th. Until then, I am always more than willing to be flexible and work with you to create a plan and schedule that best fits your animal's needs and routines. Being the owner of a feisty chihuahua and having cared for larger but equally rambunctious dogs, I can work well under pressure to keep a watchful eye on any and all pets in the home as well as maintain an awareness of open windows/doors and other security concerns. I know how to maintain a healthy balance between play and gentle guidance - especially when outdoors or in the vicinity of other animals.
About: I’ve grown up with pit bulls since a very young age. Thus, not only am I a dog lover, but I am very familiar with dog care. I frequently take my dog on walks, bathe him, play with him, and feed him, making sure he gets the medications he needs. I know what it takes to make sure a dog is happy and has everything they need. I will be working part time over the summer with flexibility working remotely. I will be available to provide anything from walks & short visits to longer stays! I will clearly follow all rules and safety instructions you give me to respect your space and keep your furry friends safe. Just let me know!
“Chiara is the absolute best!! She’s so responsive, attentive, and kind. Leaving my cat behind is always hard, but she makes me feel so much better knowing that she’ll be stopping by to check on him and play with him.”
“Salma was an absolute angel of a house sitter. She gave up lots of updates and photos of our cat, even starting little routines with her. She kept the house tidy and somehow my plants look even better than when I left them. Would have her back in a heartbeat.”

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** 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.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.
“Caleb was absolutely fantastic with my pup Avi, who, at 15, is very sweet but can be a bit stubborn. But he took to Caleb immediately, following behind him with his tail a-wagging! In addition to being so great with my dog, Caleb was incredibly responsive, polite, and had great energy.”
About: I have grown up with pets in the home (both cats and dogs) and have taken care of them throughout their entire lives. I have an active lifestyle and would love to have some furry companions on my walks and hikes and make sure they get proper exercise. I currently have a part time internship on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 10 AM -3 PM. Otherwise, my schedule is very flexible. I normally tend to go on walks in the mornings and mid- afternoons. I have a fenced backyard with ample room for play and running around. I have two friendly cats, however they often keep to themselves, especially when there are other animals present.
“This was one of our best Rover experiences. Amal was so communicative and punctual, and Maggie loved her instantly. We will absolutely use her again!”
About: Hello! My name is Cecilia, and I am a junior at UNC Chapel Hill, but I will be in DC until August. I am a well-known contact for dog/cat sitting and walking in my neighborhood and thought I would expand my services to the rest of D.C. I have also fostered dogs and successfully gotten them adopted. I often volunteer at Lucky Dog Rescue on weekends to help handle dogs. I have had cats before and adore them. I often cat sit for my neighbors. I mostly work from home and can be around pets all day. For dogs, I have time to take them on at least 2-3 walks a day and can do more/less based on the dog. For cats, I am available to give them a lot of attention and care throughout the entire day. My house is dog proof as I have had dogs for my entire life, and there has rarely been a time when at least one dog is not residing there. We have a really large, fenced in yard and I like to take dogs to dog parks nearby if they do well there. I like to work outside and be around them in the sun and grass. There is a small pool in our backyard that dogs can cool off in as well.
“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 had the pleasure of raising my two pups from infancy at the same time - and they’re 10 and energetic now! I am very energetic and love all kinds of dogs, so happy to help! I work from home and am quite flexible during most work days! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m happy to accommodate any daily routine for your dog. I am very active so I can walk them on check-ins and definitely take them out for restroom breaks I have two dogs at home and they love to play with other dogs if your dog is friendly, and if not happy to hang out and take care of your dog alone as well. Whatever you and your dog are most comfortable with!
“Michael was fantastic with our dog, Charlie! Very responsive and provided updates throughout the day. Look forward to having Michael watch Charlie again soon!”
“Haley was a real lifesaver for us. We had a very last-minute request due to an emergency and needed someone we could trust with our senior dog, and Haley agreed to watch him without hesitation. She took great care of him and gave us real peace of mind during a stressful situation. She was also very flexible with our pickup time, which we really appreciated. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
“Jessica was so flexible and helpful as navigating logistics got challenging given a late flight and work commitments that day. Our sweet dog was in excellent hands and had a great day.”
“Catherine was a life saver! We were able to book her the night before for day care services. It usually takes Donna some time to warm up to new people, but she immediately ran inside Catherine’s house and greeted her. When I picked her up, she was happy to see me but ran towards Catherine to celebrate. I will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I'm not just another dog walker or pet sitter — I'm your reliable neighborhood neighbor who’s already the go-to person in my 10-story NW DC apartment building for everything from quick walks to overnight stays (and yes, I handle both dogs and cats with ease!). What really makes me different is my background as a recently retired Special Education teacher. That means I bring serious patience, structure, and a knack for reading behavior to every pet I care for. Whether it’s helping a energetic young pup learn polite leash manners, crate training basics, or simple commands during our walks and playtime — or giving gentle, attentive care to senior dogs and cats who need slower paces, extra cuddles, or help with mobility and medication — I’m genuinely good at meeting each pet exactly where they are. I grew up with dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with all personalities and ages. I focus on making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away — with consistent routines, plenty of affection, and that extra layer of responsibility that comes from years of working with kids who needed thoughtful, individualized support. In short: You get a sitter who’s dependable, experienced with all life stages of pets, and truly enjoys the work. Your furry (or not-so-furry) family member will get the kind of calm, attentive care that makes coming home even sweeter. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine! Since I’m recently retired, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I live right in a 10-story apartment building in NW DC, so I’m already here and can easily pop down for midday walks, quick drop-ins, or overnight stays without any commute hassle. A typical week for me includes several regular dog walks and cat visits for neighbors in the building. I genuinely enjoy starting my day with a good walk or ending it with some playtime and cuddles. It keeps me active, social, and smiling — plus it gives me that wonderful sense of responsibility I loved from my teaching days. Whether it’s a quick 30-minute walk around the neighborhood, a full night of house sitting, or daily check-ins while you’re traveling, fitting pet care into my schedule is easy and something I truly look forward to. I’m available most days and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your needs! I provide all pet care in your home only, so your pets stay in their familiar environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. For dogs, I will only consider bringing them to my house on very rare occasions — and only after I’ve gotten to know the dog well and we both agree it’s the right fit. All cat care happens exclusively in your home. In your home, I follow your exact routines for feeding, walks (for dogs), playtime, litter box care, medications, and more. I’m very mindful about safety: keeping doors and windows locked, using secure leashes when needed, and treating your space with complete respect. As a retired Special Education teacher, I’m patient, observant, and highly responsible. I treat every pet and every home with the care they deserve. You can trust that your furry family member will be in safe, loving hands.
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

About: Hi! I have grown up in a household where there were always multiple dogs of many breeds and even some cats. I love the company of pets and the energy I get while around them. I’ve watched over my families pets for years and those of close friends. Can’t wait to have my own home of four legged friends in the future! I have the commitment of school (until June) and a few after school activities but I have a fairly open schedule usually, especially on weekends. I try to always create an environment where my pets feel relaxed and stress free while understanding their needs when they try to communicate them. I will make other pets feel comfortable, excited, and stress free while fulfilling their adventurous nature.

“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.”
“Julia walked my two dogs all summer while I was working. From the beginning, Julia took the time to make sure she understood my (very detailed!) preferences, always made sure she got things right, and was accommodating for schedule changes and when we moved. Julia was such a big help and I could entrust her with walking my two fur-babies. She is great!”

She’s incredibly warm and knowledgeable about taking care of dogs with different needs, as well as reliable and great with communicating. We’re very, very lucky to have her taking care of our fur babies”
“Ashton was incredible with our senior dog! Ashton was kind and gentle with her, ensuring she got good exercise even when she was a bit stubborn. Ashton even went above and beyond, coming to our house to help even after a big snowstorm. We’ll definitely have her help out again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child, I’ve owned a fish, 7+ rabbits, 2 hamsters, a turtle, a chick, and currently own 2 dogs. I’ve petsit for mainly friends, I’ve housed a dog until we could find him a home. I also have experience with Guinea pigs and cats. My current schedule is very open and I have lots of availability! I am available almost daily now and will have lots of time for your fur babies. When I walk dogs I love to play with them and pet them before doing anything else so that they feel more comfortable with me being in their home. Then I clean their diapers and wash/replace their food bowls. Then I will take them for a 30min-1 hour walk and when we return back home I like to give them play time if time allows.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of many ages, sizes, and personalities. I completed a college course called Canine Fitness Connection, where I regularly walked and worked with shelter dogs. I’ve also fostered shelter dogs, helping them adjust to new environments and routines. Currently, I help care for a 14-year-old Havanese and a 9-year-old Golden Retriever, giving me experience with both senior care and larger active breeds. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide safe, reliable, and attentive care while keeping owners updated and informed. I currently have a part-time internship, which gives me flexibility throughout the week and even more availability on weekends. As a lifelong dog lover, I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or just some extra attention and companionship, I’m happy to help and will keep you updated along the way. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I feel the same way about my own dogs. Through walking shelter dogs, fostering rescue dogs, and caring for my family’s dogs, I’ve gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine and needs so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure you receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Lucy and I had a great experience with Evan and his wife! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous, but Evan sent me updates with pictures frequently, giving me peace of mind that Lucy was in good hands! I highly recommend Evan for dog sitting and will definitely book him again!”
“We have always had friends offer to keep our dog when we travel. This year, knowing they had a lot going on, we did not want to ask. A friend who is a rover pet sitter suggested we find someone in our area. We reached out to several with no success. Then we read Colleen & Sean's profile and felt we had found the family. They responded very quickly, set up a date with a couple of days to meet and, for my husband and I, the right caretakers for our dog. They shared photos and details everyday to us. Since this was our first time with Rover, we were scared at the start and reassured it was the right decision everyday. As we retrieved our dog on the last day, we heard their daughter saying good bye to her, which reaffirmed, she for the week, was family. I highly recommend this incredible family.”
“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”

“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”

“We love Johanna! Millie can be a little anxious and Johanna just takes the best care of her. Johanna is also very responsive and continually sends sweet photo updates throughout Millie’s stay. We are so grateful to have found Johanna!”
“Katherin was amazing! She sent detailed and thoughtful updates about my dog’s stay, giving me at least three updates a day, with such cute pictures! She made sure my dog ate, brushed her teeth, and gave her long walks around the neighborhood. I felt at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I recommend Katherin, your pup will have the best stay!”
“It was wonderful to find Morgan for my older boxer who needed a quiet environment while we were out of town for the holidays. Morgan has older dog experience, took Sugar for gentle walks and sent me pics daily.”
About: I have been on rover for two years and have provided countless services to cat and dog owners alike. I love all animals and hope to ease the stress of being away from them. I am currently a junior at American university from university and my schedule is open for taking care of your pets. My most available time is in the mornings weekdays and afternoons on weekends . I have several supplies for cats in my home including but not limited to: food, litter box, and hairbrush. I can always purchase supplies for my home and the home of clients who have dogs. There is also a park not five minutes from my house for walks.
“Bridgid took great care of our dog and was super easy to work with. She was understanding and flexible with a last minute booking, sent periodic pictures and updates, and we were comfortable knowing our dog was getting personal care like she would at home. We will definitely have Poppy stay with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Walter came home very happy after several nights and was very well cared for — I could tell by his temperament when I picked him up, and how relaxed he was coming home. He is an older dog who gets anxious out of his routine, and Mike treated him very well.”
“I left my dog Archie with Francise for a couple days and she was great with him! He’s an anxious one and when I went to get him he seemed so happy and comfortable. Francise was great with accommodating me and had great communication while I was away.”
“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“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!”
