I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”
“Heather and Chris have a pleasant and welcoming home and tended to my dogs needs appropriately. They are very friendly and professional. It shows that they are experienced. They sent photos every day Walt stayed with them and it was apparent that he was well cared for. He did escape their back yard once, as a huskey would, but they were quick to recover him and keep me in the loop about it all. They offer full transparency and are wonderful people. I highly recommend Heather and Chris, and thank them for caring for my husky.”
“Ciara was so accommodating, especially with last minute updates to Kenny's care needs. She always kept us up to date throughout the stay and was easy to get a hold of when we needed her. Kenny had great weekend playing with Rafa and came home happy and tired :)”
“We decided to take a last minute weekend get-a-way and was in a pinch to find someone to watch our two doodles. We reached out to Lori and she responded immediately and were able to set up a meet and greet with her dogs. She was absolutely amazing and we could automatically see her love for dogs. She sent us pictures while we were gone and responded promptly when we checked in. She has definitely gained a repeat customer 🙂”
“I’m so happy we chose Kaitlin for our time using Rover. She was super quick responding to any questions we had and our dog was comfortable and had a great time. Would definitely book with her again!!”

I have experience giving cats oral medication, trimming cats' nails, and bathing cats if necessary. My schedule is remote and asynchronous (I am a student and work online) so I am often available at short notice, in addition to just generally being flexible with my availability. I keep pets calm and comfortable by adhering to their typical routine as closely as possible. I am never a yeller, I have taught my own cats the command "down" with an accompanying snapping noise.

And I'm happy to set up a meet and greet so that I'm available to help out at a moments notice. I make my living providing pet care and housekeeping. Remember sleep away camp when you were a kid? Or that one really cool babysitter? That's what your pet's time with me will be like. Your vacation is also their vacation. Whether at your home or my own, walks, or drop-in visits, I provide regular updates and so many cute photos to help assure that they're in good hands. My home has a large, fenced in backyard for all the desired romps and squirrel chasing. I live in a beautiful, easily walkable neighborhood; which is great for multiple daily adventures, stopping to smell all the smells and learn safe social skills.

“Kimba had a great time with Kaitlyn. She took great care of Kimba and sent pictures throughout the day. Kaitlyn is very responsive and makes me feel at ease. Kimba has a lot of separation anxiety and it was clear from the photos and when we picked her up that she’d had a great day. I know Kimba was in good hands with Kaitlyn. I’d use her again next time we are in town.”
“My husband and I are traveling in our RV and had booked a tour at the Louisville sluger Museum. So I opened my trusty Rover app and was fortunate to find marvelous Myrna!! My 2 girls (Havanese) had a wonderful time being spoiled and loved by Myrna in her home. Marna sent many pictures and I felt 100% comfortable that my girls were in good hands and I could enjoy our tour. Highly recommend! Would leave more than five stars if possible.”

Wish I lived in the area so I could book her again; Christina was excellent and communicates well (and sent photos during the stay, which was a bonus!)”
“Absolutely some of the best caretaking Charlie has had! Lori was great with Charlie. We met beforehand with her sweet pup to make sure the dogs would get along, and I really appreciated her thoroughness and quick communication. During his stay, Charlie got to run around and play with other dogs at her home and her family’s farm, but also had time to rest and relax. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up and slept the whole way home! 10/10 would recommend Lori!!”

I'm based near Florida Ave NE in Washington, D.C., and I proudly serve clients across the DMV including Southeast D.C., Navy Yard, Capitol Hill, NE/SE neighborhoods, and parts of Maryland and Northern Virginia. I grew up surrounded by pets especially dogs and was always the one helping walk, feed, bathe, and care for them.

I’ve also fostered dogs and cats through my local shelter, caring for everything from puppies and kittens learning the ropes to senior dogs needing diapers and additional support.

I currently have two dogs of my own, Murphy and Lucky, they are my whole heart and I love every pet I care as if they were part of my family.

I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”
“Valerie was the best! I had never left Cleo for very long, but this a great experience! Cleopatra was excited to meet her and a blast while she was with her. I received photos of my baby and she looked so happy! I don't vacation much, but Valerie is the choice for my pup!”
About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”
“Heather and Chris have a pleasant and welcoming home and tended to my dogs needs appropriately. They are very friendly and professional. It shows that they are experienced. They sent photos every day Walt stayed with them and it was apparent that he was well cared for. He did escape their back yard once, as a huskey would, but they were quick to recover him and keep me in the loop about it all. They offer full transparency and are wonderful people. I highly recommend Heather and Chris, and thank them for caring for my husky.”
“We decided to take a last minute weekend get-a-way and was in a pinch to find someone to watch our two doodles. We reached out to Lori and she responded immediately and were able to set up a meet and greet with her dogs. She was absolutely amazing and we could automatically see her love for dogs. She sent us pictures while we were gone and responded promptly when we checked in. She has definitely gained a repeat customer 🙂”
“I’m so happy we chose Kaitlin for our time using Rover. She was super quick responding to any questions we had and our dog was comfortable and had a great time. Would definitely book with her again!!”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
“Lisi took excellent care of senior dog. We had plenty of updates where she looked very comfortable and it seemed like she was really loved on during her stay. She came back happy and acting like her normal self. I would recommend Lisi!”
“We loved having Grace keep our Bella girl! She gave up daily pictures and updates. She made sure our girl got lots of play time and outside time. So grateful for someone that treats her puppy visitors like her own!”
“Madison, is a great dog sitter, she was very attentive to my dogs needs, when I picked him up he was very happy and in a good mood. Madison also provided me with daily updates and photos. She also checked in with me if it was okay to take my dog on a hike. He loved hanging out with her. She is a great choice for anyone looking to have their dog cared for.”
