“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!”
“My Brutus had such a great time with Christian. This was the second time that she has kept him and this time for a week.

She was very communicative sent pictures and videos and really took care of my Brutus for a majority of the pictures. He looked happy. 10 out of 10 recommend”
“Jenna was an absolutely fantastic Rover choice for my dog. She was exceptional at caring for her and was superb at letting me know how my dog was doing throughout the time she was with Jenna. If you are able to book with Jenna as an option, then you will be more than happy with the choice.”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“2nd time booking with Rodrigo for Watson and again it was a seamless experience. Rodrigo sent regular updates and clearly took great care of Watson. Thanks again Rodrigo and Luna!”

“Rut and her husband took care of Georgie for two nights this week. As a pup parent, having reliable care for my fur baby is at the top of my priority list and Rut is definitely just that. Not only did I not have to worry about his safety and well being but I was certain he was having a blast. I got frequent and detailed updates throughout his whole stay and Rut was incredibly flexible with pick up, drop off and my changing plans.”
“Sabrina is the best! This is my second time booking with her to watch my dog Ruby. She is so caring and reliable. She took Ruby to the park and kept me updated with the most adorable photos! Can’t wait to use Sabrina again!”
“Charnetta was absolutely great. She was always responsive and provided consistent updates that included lots of pictures and videos. She took into consideration Whitesocks' shy personality, special diet needs, and was understanding if he preferred some time alone. From drop off to pick up Charnetta was flexible with timing and coordination. She also took note of my busy schedule and was not put off if I could not respond right away. Even with Whitesocks being boarded for over 2 months, there were no issues. Charnetta took care of him as if he were one of her own; I was never worried or concerned. I will definitely rebook again in the future :)”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“My dog enjoys staying with Sky and comes home healthy and happy…. Communication is great and we get photos and videos during her stay…. It’s always a good experience.”

“Kelli has cat sit for me now three times and has done an impeccable job each time! She makes my cat feel comfortable and pays attention to details. Also a huge plus she sends thoughtful updates for each visit. Thank you Kelli! Highly recommend her services.”
“Tamara has checked in on my cat multiple times now, and I’m so thankful for her! She is responsive, caring, and dependable. On this last trip, I forgot to finalize the booking after sending a request. I realized it while out of the country and texted her immediately. She went to my house within 30 minutes and sent me pictures and an update of my cat. She’s also been much more than a pet sitter when I’ve been out of town. She’s dripped my faucets when it was freezing, watered plants, and brought packages and mail inside from my porch. I can’t recommend her enough. I will certainly keep using her services!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ryan while we were away on a short trip! Before we even left, he took the time to visit and meet our cats, which instantly put us at ease. During our time away, Ryan provided great updates and made sure our cats were happy, well-fed, and comfortable. We came home to relaxed, content cats - the best sign of all! We would definitely recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter.”
“Katy takes such good care of my cat. He absolutely loves her! She includes plenty of photos and gives a fantastic visit summary each time. I would highly recommend booking with her.”
“Maria was excellent and sent updates daily...it really put our minds at ease despite, being thousands of miles away from the cats. They aren't the easiest to take care of but Maria certainly made it feel that way. Thank you so much!!!”
“Mireille was kind, communicative, and took great care of Quna! She was even kind enough to come meet Wuna before booking. She asked great questions to make sure Quna had the best care. Def hope to book her again!”
“Nicholas came highly recommended by a friend and he did not disappoint! He watched our cat Mo for 11 days while we were away on vacation. He was reliable, communicative, and went out of his way from NW to take care of Mo in NE. Gave our cat great care, including brushes, pets, playtime. Our house and our cat’s litter box was in great shape when we came back. Best Rover we’ve had! Thank you so much Nick!”
“Gregory is without a doubt the greatest cat sitter on Rover. He is attentive to care instructions which is extremely important. My cat loves him. Gregory is super professional and you can tell he loves cats. I only plan on using him in the future.”
“Emily did an amazing and caring job with my cat Carter for four days when we were away for 5 days in the middle of the winter. She came every morning like clockwork to check on him and give him some love even in the middle of a bad snow and ice storm when getting around was challenging and uncomfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Skylar is great with my cat, Tiger Lily! Lily has some separation anxiety and doesn't love meeting new people, but Skylar handles her super well and makes her feel comfortable. I know she is well taken care of when I am out of town! Thanks Skylar :)”
“Abby was very communicative and easy to work with, and I appreciate that she wanted to learn about my cat and the cat’s habits before starting her drop-ins. Great cat sitter.”

“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”
“They were absolutely amazing with Whiskey! They would send me pictures throughout the day and give me updates which really helped with feeling at ease. I would highly recommend them to dogsit for you!”
“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!”
“Holly was absolutely amazing with Stella! Stella can be incredibly nervous in new environments, but Holly showed so much patience and gentle care to help her settle in. She truly went above and beyond to make Stella feel safe, comfortable, and loved. It is incredible to find someone who understands anxious dogs so well. We would definitely be booking with Holly again when we are in town—highly recommend!”
“Rodrigo and Luna were wonderful partners for my dog Cooper when we needed help with day care! We really appreciated Rodrigo’s flexibility in scheduling and look forward to sending Cooper to visit again soon.”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, and currently own Gullu, a 10 yr old rescue. I have experience managing all ages and sizes of dogs, with varying medical conditions and unique needs. I successfully trained Gullu out of her separation anxiety with a lot of love and patience, and the joy of seeing her blossom makes me believe in every dog’s potential! I work full time from home. I have a set schedule for my dog Gullu as I walk her 4-5 times a day. On weekends I do extra long walks to ensure she gets enough exercise. I live in a 1500 sq ft apartment with a large living space. I also have a very sweet and friendly 10 year old rescue, Gullu who is a small 25 lbs mixed breed. She is very gentle, minds her own business and has no issues sharing space or toys. I can crate your dog if needed.
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.
“Wally loved staying there and Claire was wonderful with him. She was very responsive in terms of communication and was willing to meet up once before our stay as a meet and greet to make sure he was okay!”

I have over 10 years of experience in taking care of any handicapped or disabled dogs! I work from home majority of the days! while I do have a studio apartment is is large with love. your dog will get multiple walks a day around my neighborhood and i’m less than 2 minutes from a large dog park. your cat will have plenty of toys & cat trees to lounge in! I can adapt to any of your furry friends needs. I am equipped in giving medications, helping with disabled animals, taking your dog for a run, a walk or even a good midday nap. whatever they need!
“Max is a one of a kind dog sitter. My crazy dog Jax is typically not the most trusting, especially towards men, but he took to liking Max quickly and would gallop to him the moment he realized I was dropping him off. Max watched Jax for several months and was always professional, kind, caring, patient and consistent with Jax, despite Jax's behavioral quirks. He goes above and beyond when watching pets. For example he acquired a scooter and skateboard to provide exposure and positive reinforcement around those items to Jax. Max is easily worth at least triple his current rate for watching pets and is basically a community fairly god parent to the pets and pet owners of Columbia Heights for what he does. I can't recommend him enough.”
“Irina is a lifesaver. She accepted my request to pupsit a sweet blind and deaf senior dog on short notice with no hesitation. She was also incredibly kind and flexible with unforeseen timing changes from my side. I picked him up from her house; I'd never seen him so calm and happy. He loves his time with Irina and her two dogs.”
“Cassie was able to help out on very short notice, and was extremely flexible. Paul was excited to go back every day and had a great time! Will be sure to book again!”
“Daniel was great with Oscar! He was very communicative and Oscar came home happy and tired from day care. We feel very comfortable leaving our dog with Daniel.”
“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!”
“This is the first time that Nina has watched Roxi, and I am hoping it will not be the last! Nina was very flexible on time. Sent photos during the day. I couldn't be happier!”
“We found Mac on Rover and connected based on tremendous reviews for doggy daycare. Mac is outside awaiting Keely’s arrival each morning, takes her on nice walks, and communicates well with us and our varying pick-up times in the afternoon. Keely knows the name “Mac” after just one week and is so happy at morning drop off. We are thrilled with the time and attention Mac provides for Keely!”

“Jondle was great with our older (and sometimes stubborn) French bulldog! She was very responsive throughout the entire process and made a point to come meet me and Eloise before she started caring for her.”
“Leah walks our guy Otis a few times a week and has been nothing short of wonderful. She takes care of Otis like he is her own dog. She did us a huge solid and agreed to start walking him only a few days after we had adopted him and didn’t know much about him. She communicates reliably and consistently; she always gives advance notice if she can’t make a walk. And, she is very mindful of Otis’ needs and adjusts accordingly, asking questions and giving updates as needed. The one time I happened to be home when she came to get Otis for his afternoon walk, he ran to the door and never looked back. He LOVES Leah. At the risk of losing our cherished dog walker because she gets booked up after this review, we would give 10 stars if we could because Leah very much deserves her flowers!”
“Naa Kuorkor has done an amazing job with Charlie. She’s been detailed with how the walks went and making sure that Charlie is content. She’s consistent with clear communication. I highly recommend her for your dog walking needs :)”
About: We’ve both had dogs in our family since we were young and we have our very own, paçoca! She’s a nova scotia duck toller. Her name means little peanut in portuguese and nothing describes her better than that. we love nothing more than to be around dogs. We would love to care for yours! We both work a hybrid schedule and at least one of us is always available to care for, play, and walk pets as many times as needed. We can provide your dog with the exercise they may need, whether it is a morning run, long walk in the afternoon, or dog park visit. We live in a pet-friendly two bedroom apartment with lots of light and space. Dogs we’ve cared for prior really enjoyed laying on the couch/their beds and getting some sun. We live very close to Logan Circle, which is a great, pleasant and green space in downtown DC for dogs to walk and play with other dogs. We love incorporating the pets’ routines into our own and can adapt as needed. Taking them on walks during the day is a great opportunity to take work breaks, get some fresh air, and enjoy the day. Our apartment is spacious and gets lots of sunlight, which the dogs love! It’s also close to lots of nice green areas such as Logan Circle or the S street dog park!
About: I have taken care of animals and been around animals my entire life. I love both cats and dogs, and have a dog at home! I have plenty of free time during the week.

Will definitely book with Pauline again in the future - thank you!”
