“We had a great experience with Diego and Natalia watching Monty and Oliver. They were very communicative and sent lots of updates, photos, and videos while we were away, which we really appreciated. Our dogs are energetic and full of personality, and they were patient and great with them. We came home to two happy dogs and would definitely book with him again.”

“Paula was an amazing sitter. From comforting me when my pup was acting out of character, to providing excellent care and attention to my pup during his stay. She provided detailed updates complete with pictures and videos. Definitely stumbled on a gem of a sitter with Paula.”
“My senior pup's stay with Fabian was amazing! His setup is a paradise for dogs, and I really appreciated the frequent photos and overall great communication. I'd love to board my dog with him again the next time we go out of town.”
“Steve is great, and I would highly recommend him as a sitter! He and his wife took great care of our dog Gandalf. She has some anxiety issues and they helped her get through a big thunderstorm and a hot summer weekend. He was super communicative before the booking, and sent detailed updates and great photos the whole time we were away.”
“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.”
“Best decision we have ever made was using Alli to care for our angel!!! Our pup was immediately welcomed into her family and our dog was so sad to leave her new friends when we picked her up! We got so many photos of our dog enjoying her stay which made our trip so much better. Cannot recommend Alli enough!!!”
“My dog was extremely well cared for at June’s! Banks had a blast with a new friend and looked totally at home! June is great with communication and sends great updates. Will book again for our next need!”
“Meredith has watched our dog Toby twice now and both times she has sent great updates and taken really wonderful care of him. She makes everything very easy and we know Toby is well taken care of.”
“Roy was a star! We left our 12 week up pup over the weekend, and there were no issues. Roy communicated very well and timely with pictures and updates on how they were doing. Thanks to Roy, we felt very secure leaving our baby in his care.”
“Joe was great—easy-going and accomodating. My dog had a great time with Joe and two other dogs! He messaged me updates and photos during the 7 days away from our dog, which was very reassuring. Joe even took my dog on a 5 mile run! Will definately book with Joe again. This was the first time using Rover.com, and I highly recommend. I also highly recommend your dog stay with JOE!”
“Mark and his family took such great care of zuki! Mark took the time to ask questions about Zuki’s routine, play style, and training behaviors that I have been working on. Appreciated all the updates and pictures. Zuki clearly had a great time and returned home happy and tired from all his fun.”
“Marta was great! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times and sent me detailed updates and photos of my cat while I was away. I’d rebook with her in the future.”
“April is a great dog sitter! This was a mutual first experience for both of us and she made my dog feel more than comfortable in her home! April spends a lot of time with the dog and made sure that she got multiple walks a day. She also kept me updated with how things were going and sent multiple pics throughout the day so I could see how my baby was doing. Every single picture my dog had her mouth wide open with a big smile! She eased all of my anxiety about leaving my dog with a stranger and I caught myself not worrying about my pup for the couple days I was out of town. This was a great relief and I’m thankful April was able to do a great job with her! My dog is very particular when it comes to trusting people but it looks like my baby has made a new friend and I can’t wait to book with April again!!”

“Cynthia is absolutely the best! We are first time pet owners and I’m sure a little over protective, but her patient, kind and calm demeanor put us right at ease. She kept us updated with texts, photos and even a video while we were away...she will always be our first choice!”

“Absolutely amazing sitter. She left detailed notes after every visit, sent pictures, and clearly put a lot of care and attention into checking on my cat.

“This was our first visit away from our kitten, Nico, and I was incredibly nervous. However, Kayli took excellent care of our guy. She was incredibly communicative, gave Nico very well rounded visits (lots of snuggles, all of his favorite toys, etc.), and made sure to ask all of the right questions before our trip began. We will definitely be booking her again, Nico will miss her!”
“Mikela was very personable and very communicative when we did our virtual meet and greet. Our kitty is very old and needed some extra care and she was very understanding and helpful about it. We were away with no service except for emergencies/ rare service spots so when we were able to check in she was very fast with responding and giving us updates. We super appreciated her and her attention to detail and how well our little old lady was cared for. We would absolutely book her again. Thank you Mikela!”
“Tandy was amazing! we couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Rover. We had to leave for a week long trip and Tandy made sure we were comfortable with our pets being in the best care! She followed our instructions to the detail and went above and beyond to make our cats comfortable. One of them was scared (he is a scared kitty) and she made sure to take the time to friend him and approach him and learn about him. We are so thankful for her help and will definitely will be rebooking her! Thank you Tandy!”
“Bessie was fantastic with Pip and Taz! She took great care of everything—from their feeding routine and litter box to spending time playing and hanging out with them. She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of photos and updates, and made it easy to feel confident that they were well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Bessie and will definitely use her again!”

“Theresa was wonderful! Milan loved spending the day with her and her pup, T’Challa. She kept us updated throughout the day with messages and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind! She was very attentive to his needs. Milan enjoyed walks, plenty of attention, and a warm, welcoming environment. Thank you so much!”

“Thank you so much again for watching my baby 🐶. I will definitely book him again. My baby was very tired, which was a good thing. She got home and ate and went right to sleep.”
“We’ve had June watch our puppy for many months now and I can’t believe I haven’t sung her praises until now. June has been the best dog sitter and 3rd parent to our dog! She’s communicative, helpful and as a new puppy parent, very helpful in reinforcing training (we think she’s better behaved at Junes!).”
“I appreciate all of Denisha’s efforts to try to accommodate my dog’s needs. It did not turn out working out but that’s due to my dog’s own personal special needs and needing more individualized special care. Denisha was very patient and honest during my dog’s care. Some sitters do it for the financial gain but I could really tell that Denisha genuinely cares for the dogs that she sits. She was responsive and provided frequent updates/pictures. I really am thankful that she cared about my dog’s comfort and tried to accommodate her needs. I would definitely recommend Denisha!”
“Joe made us feel so comfortable, from start to finish! Our guys have never stayed with anyone but family, and they left Joe’s like they’d known him forever. We couldn’t be more happy with our choice and plan on booking over and over again! Also, big shout out to Mr. Watson! He is the sweetest pup you will ever meet and welcomed new friends like they were part of his home. Thanks for everything, Joe and Watson!”
“Our dog Miles loves to go over to Supon's once in a while to spend the day running around with new dogs. Supon takes great care of him and he always comes back tired and happy.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for animals for most of my adult life. I’m the Go-to person whenever anyone I know needs a pet sitter/walker. I’ve personally owned and cared for senior pets with special needs and have a great reputation as a reliable and responsible person. I’m currently unemployed and I have ample time to make your pets happy and feel loved while you are away or working. Most of my friends say that their pets ignore them when I’m around because of all the love and affection I show them. I live in a large apartment and I have many places close by where I can walk your dog and make sure they are safe and sound while getting their daily exercise. Cats have lots of space to chill out or cuddle up with me whenever they want to.
“I would like to say thank you to Christian well my first time using Rover and helping me feel comfortable with my fur baby saying with her. She did a wonderful job communicating and sending pictures letting me know what’s going on and making this days feel so easy. I would definitely recommend her to anybody and using her in the future, thank you so much.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was very young, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a pug, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently in my last semester of nursing school! My classes are online, and I only have one in-person clinical day per week, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for doggy daycare, boarding, and walks throughout the week and can usually accommodate different drop-off, pick-up, and walk times. 🐾 Safety is always my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet pug, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and personalities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure dogs are supervised, fed on schedule, and kept in a safe environment. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, follow any routines you prefer, and give your pup plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
“This was my first time using a dog sitter for my very anxious dog. Sabrina was warm and welcoming and sent regular updates and pics. My dog was there for a few hours and seemed to warm up just fine. Will definitely be using Sabrina’s services again!”
“Thank you for taking care of our baby! Nicole was great - patient with Ethel, who was a little anxious. If we are ever looking for a sitter near DC again, we will absolutely reach out again!”
“Precious and Devin were absolutely great hosts!! They kept me informed and made sure to communicate with me throughout the day! I really appreciate how warm and welcoming they were and the excitement that had in hanging with Bernard for the day! I could tell he enjoyed himself!! Highly recommend booking with them and will continue to do for future stays!”
“Jennifer was amazing and helped me out last minute when another rover sitter cancelled! She was super responsive and Spike enjoyed spending the day with her and Louis :) I would definitely book again!”

“Michael was prompt, professional and wasn’t scared of my reactive pittie. I have never let anyone walk or take care of him without meet & greet first. I just couldn’t do that this time as I am injured.”
“Gabrielle had been very timely and communicative about what happens on their visits. Very quick to reply when I ask about availability. Great service all around! Thank you.”

“Eric is absolutely amazing. My dog is a rescue, and he’s very strong, but Eric is patient, loving, and understanding with him. We truly could not have asked for a better dog walker, and we’re lucky to have Eric.”
About: All dogs need a friend who will run with them, chase sticks and get a little dirty. I’m here to make the city feel more like a jungle and less like concrete. I grew up in VA, working on a farm and playing with all kinds of pets, so I’m not afraid of big dogs. I’m a former D1 athletes, and I work in education, with a background in child and animal care so high energy pets are no problem. I’ve pet sat exotic breeds of dogs for cash during undergrad at Georgetown; I’m also comfortable with high need pets! I’m down to clown but I’ll always put your pets safety first! As a data guy I’m big on little details and enjoy it following instructions. I make it into a game. I also live with a fellow rover person!
About: I’ve been working closely with dogs since I was four years old. We moved around a lot growing up and I would always helped her readjust to feel safe in new areas. I would get to know neighbors’ and friends’ pets, and with this early life experience, I’m a natural at getting pets to feel comfortable with me. I have experience working with senior dogs and dogs in recovery from injury, as well as dogs who have been rescued or traumatized by scary situations. I am currently in school, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I typically have 1-2 classes per weekday, either in the morning or at night, leaving the majority of my schedule open for pet care. I always make sure pets’ emotional needs are taken care of. For example, I pay very close attention to body language. At home, if my dog is ever purposefully ignoring me, I check with her to see if something is wrong.
“Chase was great with Garland. They were walking Garland for an extended period of time while we were traveling and were timely, communicative and thoughtful. We would love to have Chase walk Garland again anytime they are available!”
“Kennedi came through for my baby at last minute. She has great communication skills, super nice and I know how adventurous and playful Lotus can be so I know she's patient! She's very attentive and I appreciate her for coming through. I will book again”
“Will be using Luisa again! What a great experience from start to finish with our first walk. Great communication as well and helped ease of first time anxiousness with a dog walker.”

“Sung was an incredible caretaker for Winnie. She and her husband sent such thoughtful, detailed updates after every walk, and it was clear they genuinely cared about her. We highly recommend them!”
“Ican't say enough good things about karima! She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and always go above and beyond to make sure my dog, Bruno is well-exercised and happy. I especially love the daily updates and photos they send during the walk, which gives me so much peace of mind while I'm at work."”
“I’ve been meaning to leave Dominick a review for some time and my apologies for not earlier. I’ve been using Dominick regularly for the last 8 months. My dog is always happy to see him and when I get home I know he’s had a good walk. I trust Dominick entering and exiting my house without me being there. I know based on my notifications that Dominick is always on time and he communicates very well. If I have any specific instructions whether it is to leave my dog in his crate or to give him a treat before he leaves, I know it’s been done. Typically I use Dominick’s service when I have a busy work day or traveling and he’s a tremendous help in giving my dog (a 15 month old very energetic husky) some exercise. I recommend Dominick 100 percent.”
“Lilla was fantastic!! Often going above and beyond to make sure our puppy had an amazing experience with her. She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures and/or video to let us know our puppy was doing well. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again whenever we need someone to walk Molly!”
About: Cat papi Trav. Good for watching after your little fluff of love while you’re out enjoying yourself. Avid pet lover, but have a soft spot for cats Work from home so I have time to sneak in belly rubs and ear scratches throughout the day. If your cat/dog isn’t the most social we car look at each other from the across the room. I have a 2 bed room condo. Enough space for all to enjoy themselves. A nice park for the walks, and nice windows for the cats to peer into the outside world.
“Appreciate Nicole's care and attention for my pup Cassie on their walk. Cassie likes to take her time, stopping to sniff spots or lay down, so I booked an hour walk. Nicole made sure she got the full walk in so Cassie could enjoy her usual exercise and mental stimulation.”

Caitlin as a dog sitter who will love and care for your dog as if they are her own!”
“Megan was great! She is not just a dog lover, she is very competent and followed all of our instructions perfectly. My dog is older and has various medications and she handled it all! Her daily updates were great and I knew my pup was very happy and safe with her! Def will use her again!”
“Jill, our senior, deaf and basically toothless cocker spaniel had such a wonderful time with Virginia and her family that she barely even greeted me when I arrived to take her home.
