“As always, our dog loves hanging out with Elizabeth and Phillip. I know he can be a handful but they don't seem to mind. Really appreciate their patience.”
“Wow! Such a great experience with Jacqueline! My puppy Dewey loved his experience and I was so impressed with the great care that was provided! It is obvious that Jacqueline is truly a great dog person and the communication was top notch! Loved all the great pictures and feedback! Highly recommend!”
“Aspen and her family took such good care of our boy, Fritz. He came home healthy and happy but we could tell he missed Aspen and her bunch, too! A +++++ Thank you, Aspen.”
“We love leaving our Maggie with Heather. It’s like a vacation for her while we’re on vacation. She gets to run and play in Heather’s backyard. She’s so happily and tired when we pick her up. We couldn’t be more pleased! 😊”
“Took very good care of my babies while staying at his place. Was very resourceful and patient when my Pickles decided to play the hiding game and then started getting agressive. I appreciate Roy for watching and keeping my babies safe during the day.”
“Ciara was the BEST. She sent pictures of my fur baby Louie daily as well as a little message to tell me how he was doing. Louie is an 11 month old Aussiepoo with tons of energy, and Ciara and her fur baby made sure to tire him out everyday. Would recommend her 100% every time.”
“Beth was an amazing sitter for our pup. She was easy to coordinate with on the front and back end and gave frequent updates with pictures and details keeping us up to date on everything our pup. Will definitely be back with Beth for our next getaway!”
“We’ve used Julie twice now and she is nothing short of amazing. Our little girl loves it there and I know she is well taken care of. Julie is super easy to communicate with and very responsive! If you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, book her now!”
About: Dogs have always been family in my home, and that’s exactly how I treat every pup who stays here. My name is Keith and I share a home with my wife, Natalie; our 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound, Bernie, and our 6-year-old daughter, who has grown up loving and being around dogs. The home has a large, fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, explore, or just lounge outside. Inside, the home is completely dog-friendly—couches, furniture, snuggles and all! I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with family rather than being boarded. One of the biggest benefits of staying here is that someone is almost always home. I work from home 90% of the time and the whole family is home on the weekends, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. They won’t spend their stay sitting alone for hours. Having an Irish Wolfhound has also given me plenty of experience with large and giant breeds, but I genuinely love dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is to follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and included while they’re here. And of course, I am happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see what your pup is up to! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I work from home majority of the time, so someone is almost always here. This means your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of attention, playtime, outside time, and cuddles throughout the day. I am available for weekday and weekend boarding and love having an extra furry family member around! The home has a large, fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a sweet 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Bernie who is very much part of our family. We have a 6-year-old daughter who has grown up around dogs and understands how to be gentle and respectful with them. The home is very dog-friendly—pups are welcome on the furniture, encouraged to get comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re here. I am also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, crate, or exercise routine so they feel as comfortable and secure as possible.
“Bennae was very accommodating and kind. Chico returned home with the same mannerisms he left with. I will definitely be using Bennae again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Great experience”
“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”
“Jon took great care of my dog, Beau, who seemed to take to him very well. I appreciated the quick tour Jon provided of where Beau would be staying in the home and the frequent updates. Highly recommend.”
“Carol was great! Can't thank her enough. Knew my pup was in good hands after receiving pictures everyday with my dog having a big smile on her face! Definitely recommend and will be reaching out again for any future sitting!”
“Crystal was a fantastic host for our girl. She was very responsive and shared pics with us daily. The household was a welcoming place and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a temporary home for a furry friend.”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
“Shunita went way beyond we expected. Our dog got sick with diarrhea. Not only did Shunita wash & clean all the bedding, but also cooked chicken & rice special for her. We definitely will use Shunita again! She is TOPS! Highly recommend her to anyone that loves their dog babies!”
“Nissa took such wonderful care of our dogs! They had so much fun and I loved all the thoughtful updates while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing they were in great hands!”

“Ciara was awesome. I felt comfortable overseas knowing Freya was in good hands. Ciara took care of everything and even developed a bond with Freya. I'd be excited to use Ciara again in the future.”
“Maddy did a great job with our dogs! She kept them fed and entertained. The updates were great and I never was concerned with how the dogs were doing. One of my dogs is a trouble maker and she did great with her! Definitely recommend booking her! Reasonably priced, great service!”
“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”
“Jacqueline is so awesome. She’s so easy to talk to and so accommodating. I ended up extending our booking and she had no problem with it. She sent me lots of pictures of Monty and kept me up to date on how he was doing. She is a true pet lover! I will 100% book with her again :)”
“Ryo did a great job for our 10 night house/cat-sit. Great communication, sent plenty of pictures, and I know that our three shy cats were definitely building that comfort and familiarity you all hope for in a house or pet sitter. Only feedback is the water bowls needed one last top-up, but not the end of the world. Overall Ryo was super respectful of our space, and left everything in its place. You'll be our first choice for future cat and house sitting needs if you're interested Ryo, that's for sure! Thanks again so much.”
About: Hello! I am studying in my masters program and looking for extra income to be. My partner lives in Texas with our Sharpei pitbull mix, Buster. I am missing him everyday I’m away. I have a cat of my own with me who is 10 and is named Bagheera. I am very fun and active and love the idea of taking your dog on long walks. I grew up with dog of various “big dog” breeds and I can handle puppies no matter how big or small they might be. I would love the opportunity to play with and care for any animal, and make sure they have everything they need! I’m a full-time student so my schedule is flexible and I’m available for boarding on the weekdays and weekends. Depending on my schedule, I may be out of the house for about four hours at a time, but frequently visit home. Before starting grad school, I was a full-time nanny for 10 years so I have lots of care experience and know the depths of which people love their pets. Being a nanny has helped me react quickly in emergency situations and has helped me expand my horizon of dog care as well!
“Bayley did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She followed all the instructions on our guide, sent proof-of-life pictures on every drop-in, and consistently communicated about the timing of her visits. It was such a relief to know our fur babies were in good hands so we could enjoy our trip :)”
“Didn't even think to ask for pictures but she took multiple good ones which is always good for reassurance. It was my first time using her and rover but will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Eleanor was absolutely amazing!! She was so attentive to my cat while I was out of town, I was able to have a worry free vacation because of her! I will definitely be booking her again in the future!!!”
“Elizabeth is great! We are so appreciative of all that she does for our cats while we are away! Communication is great and we love all the photo updates. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“No complaints whatsoever! Brynne took excellent care of my cats for a week, provided detailed updates and clear photos throughout, and went above and beyond to keep them comfortable, clean, and entertained during her visits. Thank you Brynne!”
“We were really happy with the care she gave our dog while we were away. At first our dog was a little shy and unsure, but she eventually warmed up to her and started getting excited for their walks and playtime. I was honestly nice seeing her look forward to the visits. She always made sure our dog was fed and had fresh clean water, and even with only 30-minute visits, she still took the time to walk and play with her. Our dog can pull a lot during walks, but she handled her really well and seemed patient with her. Overall we were satisfied with her care and appreciated the updates and time she spent with our dog while we were away. We’d definitely consider booking with her again. Thank you again!”
“We were very happy with William and our cat Toasty was too! William was quick to respond to the booking request and other communications. Our cat warmed up to him right away and he sent several pictures of them hanging out. Would definitely book with him in the future :)”
“Jenna saved the day on very short notice. She arrived right on time and my girls seemed to like her. This was only her first visit but she seems very reliable. I would definitely book with her again.”

About: Hi! I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Learning their routines, behaviors, and boundaries helps me ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Making sure you return to exercised, well behaved, and happy pets is the always the priority. During inclement weather, I provide safe outdoor potty breaks, with indoor play like puzzles and scavenger hunts. Ensuring they're still getting to work out their energy and your money is well spent. I'm happy to help figure out which service is best for you and your pet. Please reach out with any questions. 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. Whether at my home or your own, I'd like to know what your pet's current routines are, and any anxieties you or they might have. I appreciate the trust and responsibility I've been given while taking care of your loved ones and home.
About: I grew up around pets my whole life, and I love spending time with animals. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while they’re with me. Boarding dogs stay in my home and have access to a securely fenced yard to run around and play. I also have a nearby park for walks. Pet care is my full-time job, so I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. Boarding dogs get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods of time. I make sure every pet in my care feels safe and comfortable, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. Boarding dogs have access to a securely fenced yard, and I also have a nearby park for walks.
“Kaitlan is very professional and communicated with me by text promptly every time. We are in a motorhome and use Rover to find out of town pet sitters so we can find a safe place for my pups to stay during the day while we tour different areas. She was great.”
“Very caring and knowledgeable! She always has plenty of playmates for your dog, whether her own or someone else’s. Theo came home exhausted and didn’t want to leave! Will definitely use again.”

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!)”

About: I have many years of experience caring for friendly dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m patient, loving and responsible, and I make sure each dog feels safe, calm and happy while their owners are away. I do walks, feeding, playtime and follow any routine you need. I also care for small pets in cages or terrariums, such as hamsters, rabbits, hedgehogs, geckos, small lizards and similar animals. Their care is simple but important, and I always keep their water, food and space clean and safe. I work part-time, so I have flexible availability during afternoons, evenings and weekends. Your pet will always receive attention, affection and the routine you request. I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a lot of flexibility to take care of and play with your pets. I am available during the week in the afternoons and evenings, and on weekends I have more open hours for walks, visits or longer stays. I always make sure to organize my time so that your pets receive all the attention and affection they need. The safety and comfort of pets is my priority. In your home I always follow your instructions to maintain your routines, while in mine I offer a clean, safe and loving space. I make sure they have fresh water, regular walks and constant supervision. I can also administer food or medicines according to the indications. My goal is that your furry ones feel calm and happy, and that you have the confidence that they are in good hands

About: I’ve always had a dog growing up, our family dog recently just died of old age.. and think it’s probably to soon to get another dog so we’re going to take baby steps. I’m currently working part time, I have a 4 year old son who loves animals so feel it would be great to take on pet sitting part time.. I have a spacious home & also a fenced in back yard for dogs to easily roam around and be comfortable inside or outside etc.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old! Between looking after my own dog and my family's, I have the experience and love to make sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve! I'm a middle school teacher in the Louisville area, so weekends are the best for house sitting and longer watching periods!

I will always follow the wishes of the owner to make sure your pets are cared for in the most consistent way possible.

About: Hi! I'm Haylie, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes. 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 even assisted dogs and cats during births when I was younger, which gave me deep insight into caring for animals at all life stages. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, quiet cuddle time, medication, or just dependable daily visits, I’m here to help with care that’s loving, professional, and tailored to your routine. I'm comfortable with: ✔️ Dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes ✔️ Senior pets or those with special medical needs ✔️ Puppies and high-energy pets ✔️ Flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings when available Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! Pet care is an important part of my daily life. Living near Florida Ave NE, I’m often out walking dogs in Navy Yard or stopping by for quick visits around Capitol Hill and SE D.C. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and flexible with last-minute requests. Caring for dogs and cats isn’t just part of my routine, it shapes it. I love giving pets one-on-one attention and helping busy owners in the DMV feel at ease. I take pet safety and trust seriously, whether caring for pets in your home or mine. I follow all instructions closely, keep spaces clean and secure, and ensure your pet feels comfortable. On walks, I avoid crowded areas and match your dog’s pace. Pets staying with me enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment. I provide regular updates so you feel connected and confident while you're away.
About: Growing up, I’ve always been surrounded with pets and been given the opportunity to care for dogs numerous times. I am very patient with animals and genuinely find joy spending my time with them. After recently graduating from college and moving into a studio apartment, it has been an adjustment not being surrounded by pets. Through Rover, I’m excited to not only help others, but also to find fulfillment spending time with pets. Although I work a 9-5, I am willing to make plenty of time before or after work to accommodate your needs. I am a morning person, so I would be more than happy to take your dog on an early morning walk or be there to let them out. I also will be able to take care of them in the afternoon. My weekends are free to help at any time. You can trust me with your pet because I treat animals with the same amount of respect that I’d treat any person. It is my priority to ensure their safety while also having fun. I would love to take them on walks at the park and am open to having them at my apartment if needed.
“Eleanor is a staple of my Zeke dog’s care team. She has been walking him every week for over a year (and clearly demonstrates patience with me). Eleanor is dedicated, reliable, communicative and repeatedly steps up to help as her schedule allows. Eleanor provides invaluable care and I’m happy for those reading this to have found her!”
About: I’ve taken care of, for one, my own dog since I was young and besides from that my neighbors, friends, and family always rely on me when they’re out of town to take care of their pets:) I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs! I’m currently enrolled at the University Of Louisville, and have some in person and also online classes so when I’m available could differ but I’m pretty flexible and I could bring my laptop anywhere! I love pets like they’re my own, I have a deep spot in my heart for them all🥹 I can crate any size dog if need be (I know some worry about that). More than happy to take them out wherever whenever, play/walk with them, or bathe them:)!
About: I'm a freelance artist and mostly work from my laptop, which allows me to hang out with your pet(s) pretty much the entire time. We'll cuddle, and go on walks, and play outside, and I'll give them lots of loving pets. I will also send you frequent photos of them, since I know how stressful it can be to leave them in someone else's care. For me, dog sitting is more than just making some extra money...it's therapy. I am unable to have a dog of my own at this time so I am looking for some dog friends who will help to fill that void. I have yet to meet a dog I didn't like (even the crazy ones), so I'm sure your pet and I will get along swimmingly. I mostly work from home so I will be with your dog most, if not all of the time. I especially love longer stays, but open to just about any length of time. Lots of pets and cuddles! I love taking them on walks, or just hanging out in my fenced backyard. I live near Iroquois park, so that’s also a favorite activity.
About: I have years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats, and with housesitting as well. I am able to help support animals who have health concerns, special needs, and anxiety. I can administer medication and give shots as well. I have a senior kitty and an adult age cat myself, so plenty of experience with senior care.

I am have nearly full availability the next couple of months, so please reach out and I should be able to accommodate any time frame. I will abide by all house and property rules for the animals safety which includes leashes, fences, walking paths. I am happy to work with owners on what they are most comfortable with. I do not bring pets inside my home as my cats are usually not friendly to that! But I am always happy to stay at others homes.

About: I absolutely love animals and have my whole life. I just know my last words are going to be "pst pst...come here buddy" as I walk up to a big cat or something. I have had pets ever since I was little and have always considered them apart of my family. I have experience with the care of cats & dogs and I would be delighted to care for your fur baby! Currently this is my full time gig, so I am available for walks and check ins all through the day. I can also do overnight stays with your fur baby (in your home only). I am available to take walk doggos during the day/evening and even do some check ins to make sure they have all they need. Overnights will be in your home so your fur baby is in a familiar environment that they are comfy in.
About: I have years of experience providing reliable and passionate pet care for all ages and sizes. I am also experienced in puppy training, senior care, and providing medication if needed. I take the utmost care to ensure that your pup's safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I work from home so I am flexible in that regard. I can take my work around any space if needed and work around your schedule. I clean up after pets thoroughly as well as provide them with lots of potty breaks and exercise. I never have them meet new dogs for their safety.
About: I've been petsitting ever since I was younger and grew up around dogs my whole life. I don't have any special skills but offer a lot of love as a current dental student who can't have their own pet currently. I am currently a student with a busier schedule now that I am in clinic. On a case by case basis I may be available during the week if I do not have to see a patient. Most weekends I am available though! I am very flexible with care, each family and home has their own requirements about how their pet is cared for. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them in the backyard, or even just cuddling with your pet on the couch together while I work on some homework!

About: Dogs have always been family in my home, and that’s exactly how I treat every pup who stays here. My name is Keith and I share a home with my wife, Natalie; our 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound, Bernie, and our 6-year-old daughter, who has grown up loving and being around dogs. The home has a large, fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, explore, or just lounge outside. Inside, the home is completely dog-friendly—couches, furniture, snuggles and all! I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with family rather than being boarded. One of the biggest benefits of staying here is that someone is almost always home. I work from home 90% of the time and the whole family is home on the weekends, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. They won’t spend their stay sitting alone for hours. Having an Irish Wolfhound has also given me plenty of experience with large and giant breeds, but I genuinely love dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is to follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and included while they’re here. And of course, I am happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see what your pup is up to! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I work from home majority of the time, so someone is almost always here. This means your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of attention, playtime, outside time, and cuddles throughout the day. I am available for weekday and weekend boarding and love having an extra furry family member around! The home has a large, fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a sweet 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Bernie who is very much part of our family. We have a 6-year-old daughter who has grown up around dogs and understands how to be gentle and respectful with them. The home is very dog-friendly—pups are welcome on the furniture, encouraged to get comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re here. I am also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, crate, or exercise routine so they feel as comfortable and secure as possible.
“Took very good care of my babies while staying at his place. Was very resourceful and patient when my Pickles decided to play the hiding game and then started getting agressive. I appreciate Roy for watching and keeping my babies safe during the day.”
“Beth was an amazing sitter for our pup. She was easy to coordinate with on the front and back end and gave frequent updates with pictures and details keeping us up to date on everything our pup. Will definitely be back with Beth for our next getaway!”
“Jon took great care of my dog, Beau, who seemed to take to him very well. I appreciated the quick tour Jon provided of where Beau would be staying in the home and the frequent updates. Highly recommend.”
“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”
“Nissa took such wonderful care of our dogs! They had so much fun and I loved all the thoughtful updates while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing they were in great hands!”
“Carol was great! Can't thank her enough. Knew my pup was in good hands after receiving pictures everyday with my dog having a big smile on her face! Definitely recommend and will be reaching out again for any future sitting!”
About: I worked in an overnight pet facility called Pet Station Country Club for close to a year as a part of the overnight team. From around 7pm to 6am I would have personal watch of dozens of pets including cats and dogs, and was in charge of giving them medications and potty breaks. I am also Pet Tech CPR and First Aid certified, so I can give medical attention to your pet in an emergency. I have grown up around all kinds of cats, dogs, rabbits and chickens, and love pets! I am a full time student undergoing my junior year at University of Louisville, but am free multiple times during the day to check in on pets as I live within 5 minutes of campus. My evenings are free, and I have no prior commitments. The townhome I stay in has a fenced in yard and is incredibly close to University's campus, meaning it is a safe environment for walks and care.
“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 couldn’t be more grateful for the care and love that our sweet baby girl (Sol) received during her stay! Ebony was incredibly attentive, giving Sol the space she needed and a slow, gentle introduction. She even set aside special one-on-one time, keeping Sol entertained while they watched movies. We felt completely at ease knowing our baby girl was in such kind, thoughtful hands. Highly recommend!””
“Bella Rose enjoyed her time with George and Erin, we truly appreciate you two for taking great care of her and making us comfortable about leaving her.”
“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”
“Megan took great care of my dog and was great about sharing pictures and letting me know he was doing good while I was out of town. Sounded like he got along great with her dog as well. Definitely recommend her if you need someone to look after your dog.”
“Rachael took great care of my GSD for a week while I recovered from surgery. The updates and great pictures made me smile each day. Thank you Rachael and Pat for taking such good care of my Tony.”
