“Salma was excellent! She took such good care of my cat. I also appreciate her flexibility because my key fob didn’t work and we figured it out after I got out of town. Thank you !”
“Rachel has taken care of our cat Annie several times while we’ve been away, and she’s done a fantastic job every single time. This most recent time was for a short weekend trip, and she provided lots of photos and updates about our cat during each visit. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for petsitting, and we’ll happily work with her in the future!”
“Michelle was amazing! Super communicative, sent the cutest pictures, consistent, and took the best care of our little fluff ball. Highly recommend her and will hire again!”
“Thomas was an excellent cat sitter for our two crazy kitties. Nyx is an older girl and Goldie is a kitten. They are still learning to get along, but Thomas was super receptive, responsible, and understanding. It was clear that he put time and attention into taking care of our cats. Thank you, Thomas!”
“Jacqueline was a wonderful pet sitter. She asked for and followed detailed instructions and sent pictures everyday. It was such a relief, knowing my babies were being loved and well taken care of.”
“Julie was very responsive and followed all instructions. My cat was very well cared for while I was away. Julie is also a great photographer, I loved all the pictures I received each visit.”
“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!”
“Alaina was great with my 4 kitties, she played with them and made them comfortable while I was gone for a weekend. Kept them active and with full belly’s! 10/10 would book again :)”
“Antonella was great! She took fantastic care of my cat with attention to every detail. 100% highly recommend working with her and will be booking her again!”
“I wish I could award 6 stars. Honestly, Allison went above and beyond with our little Cudi. We were nervous about leaving our cat alone for a week for the first time ever. Allison is by far the best catsitter anyone could ask for! She’s absolutely the person you want looking after your pets. I was so impressed with Allison’s continuous contact, detailed daily cards, and so many adorable pictures and videos! She went beyond the call of duty by helping with a litter snafu by improvising with an ice cream container. Cudi was so happy playing with Allison and it was great knowing that she was being so well taken care of. If you want someone who will love your kitty as much as you do, she’s the one you want! :)”
“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🩷”
“Adriana is amazing! She filled in last minute during the Thanksgiving holiday was communicative, reliable, and incredible with my cat. She even brought churu treats which won my cat over. I have almost never seen my cat as comfortable with someone new. Would happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
“Sonja was amazing! I had three cats that needed to be boarded overnight due to work on the house. Sonja responded quickly and answered all my questions. She had a dedicated room to set up the trip with a window to keep them entertained and a cozy spot to curl up. She sent pictures and checked in with me several times during the stay. The cats were not easy clients but Sonja was successful at tempting them out for some play. I would definitely recommend her. What a relief to find someone with the perfect set up not just for dogs but also for cats! Will use her again!”
“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!”
“Amy is wonderful with Lily. She is dependable, attentive, and provides updates that give peace of mind. Lily comes back happy and well-exercised. It’s reassuring to know my pup is in such caring and capable hands.”
“Lauren was great and very easy to work with. She took great care of my boys and she was able to help out on relatively short notice when another rover sitter had to cancel. She sent great pictures and videos too. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Anna has pet sit for my cats during 3 trips now. They have really warmed up to her and seem thrilled to get attention during the day. She has been easy to work with, reliable, and trust worthy. I will continue working with her and recommend her to anyone!”
“Thomas is wonderful - reliable and on time, pays attention to details, goes above and beyond to make sure kitties get their time with him, and manages to get my shy cat to like him within two visits!”

“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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Sonja had such a gentle demeanor with our 12 week old pup. From the start, she asked for a meet and greet, which was a very professional endeavor and immediately put her head and shoulders above other Rover sitters.”
“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.”
“Kat is super kind and attentive! She loves dogs and knows them well. We feel great about leaving Chester with her given how communicative she is.”
“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.”
“McKinley was amazing. Our dog had a wonderful time, and was well taken care of. She communicated throughout the day, provided photos and gave our dog the attention he needed throughout the day.”
“I was very pleased and grateful for Suvon’s care for my puppy, Cooper. It was very easy to arrange date and time, Suvon was very prompt and clearly explained what Cooper needs to bring and what I can expect while Cooper’s there (which were all amazing!). Suvon kept me posted very frequently with how Cooper’s doing and sent me amazing photos (ummmm... like studio quality with gorgeous backgrounds). Looks like Cooper had a great time, he came back home and is sleeping like a baby.”
“Definitely recommend booking with Ken! He takes great care of Sammy, is incredibly responsive, and sends lots of pictures and updates throughout the day.”

“Salma was great! She was super fast to respond, and easy to book. She went above and beyond what we expected. I’d highly recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable walker or sitter.”
“Kayla was communicative and informative throughout my time away. I appreciated it because it allowed me to rest assured he was being properly cared for and was in very capable hands. I wish look forward to Kayla caring for Balthazar (who is very stubborn) again.”
About: I've taken care of elderly dogs and cats that need daily medications and frequent potty breaks, along with puppies and kittens with boundless energy requiring multiple walks a day or a lot of play time! I have specifically worked with blind dogs and dogs and cats requiring specialized diets for kidney disease. Dogs and cats are amazing companions and deserve nothing but the best care. I have availability all day on Saturdays, Sundays, and Thursdays. I’m also free before 1 PM on Wednesdays. I’m less flexible on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, but feel free to ask for availability on these days as well! As someone with many years of pet sitting experience, I’m very attuned to all types of fur baby personalities. Whether your pet is shy or outgoing, I will read their social cues and adjust my care as necessary.
About: I have been passionately caring for dogs since high school, gaining hands in experience with pups of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. Having had multiple family dogs has made me comfortable and taught me foundations for compassionate pet care. In college I completed service dog training from puppies to graduation! I am equipped with higher leveled handling skills, deep patience, and the ability to manage complex behavioral needs, reactivity, or high-energy dogs. Whether your dog requires structured behavioral reinforcement, gentle senior care, or just a fun, safe, and reliable companion while you’re away, I am completely comfortable adapting to their unique needs. I treat every dog with the same dedication and professional care as a working dog, while making sure they get all the love and belly rubs of a family pet. I am currently working part-time remotely so my schedule stays pretty flexible. There are certain evenings that I would be unavailable for a different job, but will be blocked out prior. When caring for dogs, you can expect a calm, structured and highly attentive approach tailored specifically to your dogs, age, energy and temperament. Whether your pup thrives on active exercise or needs gentle, low stress, companionship, I prioritize safety, clear boundaries and positive reinforcement during every interaction my background and service dog training means I naturally reinforced leash manners, provide mental enrichment and remain hyper attentive to dog body language to ensure a secure stress-free experience after every visit or stay you will receive a detailed update covering exercise, bathroom, habits, and high-quality photos showing your dog, happy and comfortable For feline clients, my care centers entirely on patient routine and respecting their individual comfort levels. I always let each cat set the pace offering lively playtime with Juan toys for social kitties or quiet, not intrusive companionship for those who are shy or cautious, having managed delicate environmental transitions, and introductions. I focus on minimizing stress, maintaining feeding and lit routine, routines and closely observing subtle shifts in behavior or appetite. You can rely on consistent detail check-in with daily photos, so you have complete peace of mind that your cat unique needs and boundaries are fully honored while you are away.
“Ian was a pleasure to work with. He was punctual two times a day for 3 weeks. The dogs loved him, and he really exercised them for 30 minutes. He also helped me with mail, etc., as I am home bound recovering from a fall. I cannot recommend him more highly.”
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!
“Caden did an amazing job during all the summer time with weekly walks with my Benny, reliable and trustworthy. Sometimes on my request, because of the rain he was willing to change the schedule time to avoid benny being outside during rainstorm. I highly recommend!”
About: I've had dogs since I was about 14 years of age, from tiny terriers to large labradors. I've also been surrounded by some of the loveliest (and skittish!) cats, learning to love them like my own. I work only weekend nights, which is when my partner is available. Even then, I'm never more than a few minutes walk away from home in case of an emergency. Taking care of your fur baby is always top priority! I'm always home, and would never abandon a pet. I take my current dog everywhere I possibly can, and in the rare chance I have to leave, my dog is crated or isolated in a different room. We also have access to an enclosed patio.
“William was a wonderful dog walker for our 15-year old dog. He sent us daily reports and photos, followed our instructions carefully for walking, eating and meds, and cuddled with Fiona. We will definitely use him again when needed!”
“Alina was always so flexible with me and great with my dog! I felt very comfortable every time she took him on a walk. She was so kind and great to work with!”
“Kristin has been amazing with our dog Wrigley! She has been incredibly professional and communicative, always responding quickly and letting us know in advance of any schedule changes. I highly recommend Kristin!”
About: I love long walks and would love to bring your active pets along with me! I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young. I'm currently in grad school and would love to spend my weekends studying and walking with your pets! I am typically available Fridays-Mondays from 6am-10pm. I live in a large apartment building with many comfy couches and blankets for your pets to relax on. I will watch your pet closely to ensure that they stay happy and safe.
“It’s been a pleasure working with Shela for weekday walks with my 2 y/o mini schnauzer, Gemma. Shela is punctual for walks and a responsive communicator. I always enjoy seeing photos of her and my dog’s adventure for the day in the post walk reports. Gemma enjoys her weekly walks with Shela and I’m grateful to know my pup is in good hands under her care!”
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.
“Super happy, I was a little nervous about having someone I didn’t know taking care of my fur-baby. Yang Carlos S., was so caring and sweet with my little boy. I also was worried about opening my home to someone and everything is in its place. I am so grateful to Yang Carlos S. for his professional and caring service he provided.”
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

We highly recommend Kerstyn; your dog will be in excellent hands with this caring sitter!”
“Jeremy did a phenomenal job taking care of my nearly 19 year old dog Carrie while I was gone for an 11 day trip. Going into my first experience using rover, I knew I would have to find someone I truly trust with my senior dog so I could fully enjoy myself on my vacation. Jeremy responded quickly when I reached out, and when I found out he had a senior dog himself, I knew he would be a great fit. After chatting with him over a video call, I booked the pet sitting and eventually dropped her off the night before my trip! After getting home, Jeremy sent me a photo of Carrie all settled in and it immediately relieved any worry I had about her. I knew she was in good hands. From there on, Jeremy sent me plenty of updates about Carrie during my vacation and at some points it seemed like she was having more fun than I was! Long walks, close attention, and lots of love. Knowing Carrie was being so well taken care of made my vacation a million times better. I can’t thank Jeremy enough for treating her so well, and I’m positive that you will have the same experience if you book him too! 🙏🏻”
“Chloe came back in such great spirits and as if we were never gone! Jena took great care of her and was super attentive to my older dogs little quirks! Would definitely reach out again if needed!”
“Joseph was amazing! He accommodated Finnley on extremely short notice and proved to be responsive, responsible, and genuinely caring. His love for dogs and animals truly shines through. I highly recommend Joseph and would gladly book with him again the next time I’m out of town.”
“Simon (and I) had a great experience with Caitlin and would book with her again. She paid close attention to his care details and shared updates that gave me peace of mind that he was settling in nicely and having a good time.”
