“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places.

She also gladly watched my dog for an extra night than was originally planned when my flight got delayed. She sent me frequent updates and pictures of my dog, and it was obvious he was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again!”
“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!”
“Mckinley watched my kitten Cashew over the July 4 long weekend, and she was awesome!

She sent consistent updates with photos/videos of Cashew throughout his stay, and he clearly had a blast playing with her cat!”

She gave Thelma the TLC she deserves and i would not hesitate to have her care for her again.”

She took him on lots of fun adventures everyday, including to nearby coffee shops, dog parks, and long walks to Georgetown.

“Thomas was great with our cats, including giving our girl her medication, which can be kind of tricky. Thomas is really responsive, so we didn't have any concerns despite being gone for a full week – he took care of our cats just the way we would have.”
“Charlie was so awesome taking care of my two cats. Was available for the entire time I needed and incredibly responsive and accountable. I would absolutely recommend!”
“Rachel was the best sitter I could’ve ever had! This was my first time leaving my 9 year old cat with someone who wasn’t family and Rachel knew how to comfort my cat and make her feel loved, as well as lessen my anxiety of leaving her with someone new. She diligently followed my medication instructions, and provided an ample amount of photos and videos. She’s a godsend! A Cat Whisperer <3”

“Grateful for connecting with Salma on Rover— she took incredible care of my cat while I was away for over a week and it brought so much peace of mind to know someone so kind and caring was looking out for her. This was my first time having someone house sit and I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. Salma sent daily updates and was quick to reply to any messages. My cat also loved her! Thanks again Salma from Melon and I 🍈💞”
“Julie was fantastic. Even when there were issues accessing my apartment because of issues outside of her control, she made sure to communicate with me to ensure she could enter the apartment and take care of Cleo - even if it meant she had to wait longer and come back at a later time.”
“We are so sad to be moving to the suburbs because it means we won’t have Nick watching our cat anymore. When we were away we knew our cat was getting the best care. It will be tough to find someone who matches his kindness and love towards animals.”
“Sonja watched our cats while my husband and I were on vacation and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter! She was very communicative, sent several updates with great pictures, and left our home spotless. We will absolutely be asking for her help again for future trips! Thank you, Sonja!”

About: Unfortunately I am very allergic to long hair domestics so no overnight stays, but I have helped take care of several cats for short visits; plus, a kitty of my own. I especially have experience working with newly adjusting cats or recent surgery cats.
“Lauren took wonderful care of our two cats, including our 17-year-old tabby who had a few issues to keep an eye out for. She sent us very helpful video reports and overall kept us well informed. Communication was also great. All in all, a very positive experience!”

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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
About: I have owned dogs as well as baby sat friends and family’s dog. What sets me apart from other sitters is I have spent numerous hours working in animal shelters and other pet rescue places. Therefore, I have worked with pets of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and personalities. Due to this experience, I have can adapt and understand your animal’s needs very quickly. Currently I am very flexible with when and where I can incooperate pet care into my schedule. I am in the process of applying to grad school so most of my time is spent at home working. I care for pets in both my home and clients home, by first understand the underlying personality of the pet. In doing so, I can better gauge what the pet will need from me to feel safe and happy. I walk the dogs regularly and also have multiple toys and space to play with them. With my experience in shelters I understand pet hygiene, and I also can spot certain medical needs the pet is experiencing that I need to tend to. Overall, my goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as they would at their home. They become my fur baby for the time they are with me, and I will protect them, play with them, and take care of them like they are my own.
“Chang was wonderful in watching Mia, who immediately seemed at ease with her. Chang was able to get her to relax and eat some of her food and also treated Mia to a pup smoothie bowl that she enjoyed. We also appreciated Chang's prompt responses to our messages and all the pictures and updates she shared. We're glad we found Chang on short notice.”
“Juliet is the best doggie sitter! My pup loves her place so much. She is kind and attentive and professional and sends great pics and updates. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Michael was fantastic with our dog, Charlie! Very responsive and provided updates throughout the day. Look forward to having Michael watch Charlie again soon!”
“Asma & Mitchell took great care of our anxious little dog! They were happy to meet us before watching our dog and sent us the sweetest updates and photos while we were away for a few hours. I'm sure he was a bit whiny, but Asma & Mitchell were so kind and seemed to handle him easily! We would definitely feel comfortable leaving our dog with them again.”
“Kathleen was amazing! She is really super with our little pup. He always comes home happy after a day with Kathleen, having played and had lots of walks in Rock Creek Park. She is very quick with communication and sends us lots of photos. I could not be happier with her care and trust her totally with our sweetheart.”
“My dog stayed with Lee for daycare just once so far, but we're off to a good start. She has been very communicative and thorough. I was pleased to get a mid-day update, and Lee made drop off and pick up very fast and easy. My dog was returned to me content and in good shape. From what I have experienced so far, I would definitely recommend Lee and hope to continue hiring her for future dog sitting.”
About: I grew up with dogs in addition to having dogs of my own (both large and small - Bernese Mountain dogs and two Boston Terriers). I am familiar with puppies to seniors, and love to take care of them! I'm currently consulting so have flexibility in my schedule to watch them, sit for them, and walk them. I am very available and flexible with making time for this. I can stay in my client's home and can also care for them at my home as well. I live close to parks and have a large apartment with a friendly cat who has lived with other dogs and cats in the past.

About: Growing up with three dogs, I have learned not only that different dogs have their own lifestyle and personality, but also different feeding habits and behaviors. My clef pallet pup, Daisy, has taught me that patience can lead to happiness and learning with all kinds of dogs. As a recent high school graduate, I am available all summer to care for your furry friends. As I prepare for college, I am building my savings to have a successful first year! Growing up, I have had dogs of different sizes, from teacup size to 50+ pounds. Not only do I have experience with tricky behavioral dogs, but also pups with disabilities, such as clef pallets.
About: I’ve grown up with cats/dogs my entire life and am a huge animal person. I’ve watched friends and family’s animals off and on throughout the years and make sure I spend as much time with them as possible during visits and follow any given instructions. I have two cats of my own, Evan (8) and Cuphead (9), and expect great cat sitting from those who watch them when I’m gone. Therefore, I would give nothing less to animals I sit for as well! I have a full-time job so I’m available on the week-days before 9AM and after 5:30PM. Weekends I’m available at any time you may need. I’ll always make sure to follow all instructions you give- both of my cats are on specific diets so I’m very conscious of animals’ needs. I also am happy to spend as much time with your animal as you’d like in order to keep them company and keep them happy. I have experience giving pills as well. Also happy to clean litter boxes and make sure there’s always fresh water for cats.
“Faustine was quick to respond with our last minute walk request and was easy to communicate with! She clearly has great experience with dogs and it looked like our lil guy had a great time on his walk. Would highly recommend.”
About: Hello! I am appreciative of all fuzzy friends, big and small. I have two cats of my own, with loads of dog care experience. I have lots of experience with young puppies, senior pets who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), fickle kitties, and shy pets. I’ve trained three cats from kittens, and can provide care for those still learning litter box manners. I work a traditional 9-5, and wfh 3 days a week. Depending on the day, I can offer a lunch break check in, meal time pop ins, and lots of weekend love! As a visitor of your home, I am open to whatever method you employ for your friend’s safety. I have experience with crate training and am happy to continue your training practices. In my own home, I keep my cats safe by keeping out a toxic plants/food items and practicing general cat safety (no breakables near the shelf edges ifkyk).

About: I have had family dogs and cats for most of my life. I thoroughly enjoy going on walks with dogs as well as playing with them at home. I have tons of experience watching cats, as I have watched more than 5 cats at once (my parents are true cat people). I would love nothing more than to walk, play and feed your dog(s)/cat(s)! I am capable of caring for more than one pet at a time. I will be respectful of your space and will leave it the way I found it. I dream of the day I will be able to have my own dog or cat, so please let me care for yours in the meantime! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I work full time from home, which provides me the flexibility to check in on your pets during the week days, and during business hours. I can take care of your pets to your preferences. I will play with them, give them as much attention as they need, and feed them to your schedule.
“William took amazing care of our 2 older dogs while we were out of town for a week. We got many updates and pictures every day and could tell they were being very well cared for. He even took time to hang out with them at the house and give them extra love in between walks. This was one of our best dog sitters in recent memory and we will definitely hire again!!”
About: My past work as a veterinary technician has provided me with years of experience caring for diverse breeds, specializing in coordinating complex feeding schedules and managing senior pets with health needs.

I am flexible with providing care on weekends as well as weekdays. If it is your wish that I do so, I am available to stay with your pet in your home if needed.

It was clear Nox was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for.

We would absolutely trust them with Nox again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and communicative sitters.”
