Personalized care for your dog or cat - Chevy Chase
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Chevy Chase
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Our very social and attention-craving lab mix loved his stay with Natalia and Edward. We were out of town for seven days and received adorable pictures of him playing with their dog, lounging in the living room, or romping with the family. We especially liked the big backyard that allows for built-in outdoor space and the very walkable neighborhood which allowed for going further afield. It was clear they perfectly understood what our Milo needed and were more than happy and ready to accommodate. Relieved we’ve found a go-to Rover we’d be happy to use again. Highly recommend.”
“Sonia was the best sitter for my dog. She was so sweet and understanding from the moment we met. She kept me updated with Kleo's day and sent plenty of pictures. I will definitely book again, thank you Sonia for taking care of my baby!”
“Kelly and her family were absolutely amazing. She gave great updates for our pup and the backyard and walks we're great for her. The kids were friendly and kind to my dog and Kelly was a great host! Will definitely use her again next time!”
“Diana and her family were amazing! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter from Rover and couldn’t have asked for a sweeter experience. She sent several updates with lots of photos of our puppy playing with her kids, on walks, and even learning new tricks. So adorable… and comforting! Will definitely book with Diana again!”
“Cal and Kelly are amazing sitters. Bodie had a great time at their place. Lots of snuggling and playing with their two friendly dogs. We received lots of pictures and videos so always knew he was doing great. We will definitely use them again.”
“Alex and Daniel were wonderful to work with! They kindly gave us updates on our dog while she was with them and it really seemed like she warmed up to them quickly. We are so greatful to have met them and we look forward to working with them in the future.”
“Faustine was an amazing dog sitter and was super sweet, flexible with great communication skills. We super appreciate Faustine and we would 100% use her again!!!”
“Our experience with Chad was wonderful. This was our puppy’s first ever boarding experience…I as a pet owner was concerned cause she does get separation anxiety. Chad handled it so well. We got regular picture/videos and I knew that she was in an environment where she was being properly cared for. We would definitely return.”
“Evan and Megan were great sitters! They communicated well the entire time we were gone and sent us pics to keep us up to date on how our puppy was doing. Highly recommended.”

“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Erin took wonderful care of my dog while I was on vacation! She provided updates and followed all care instructions. Will certainly be using her services again.”

“Cindy was absolutely amazing with our dogs! From the moment we met her, we felt like our pups were in good hands. She sent us lots of pictures and updates which we loved! It was clear they were not only well cared for, but also happy and loved. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention made such a difference for us. We’re so grateful we found Cindy and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Derek and Christina did a fabulous job. Our girl Phoebe was pampered and well taken care off. We received several updates and pictures which was much appreciated. We'll definitely be back.”
“Anastasiia is fantastic! She made sure my anxious dog a very nice sleepover!! She was very kind and caring and understanding of all my dog's needs. She even let Claudette take the best spot on the couch! Highly recommend!!”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”

“Karrah did an amazing job taking care of my cats! She was so kind and dependable, and I immediately felt at ease leaving them with her. It’s not always easy to trust someone with your pets, but she made the whole process feel effortless. She kept me updated regularly and sent tons of photos, which I loved—it was clear my cats were relaxed, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. That level of communication really meant a lot to me. Karrah is truly a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my cats and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Julianna did an excellent job taking care of my two cats. She provided daily updates with pictures, which I truly appreciated. It was so reassuring to see them and know they were well cared for.”
“Teffni was great with our cats and made sure to send us some nice photos that told us they were comfortable with her visits. She also let us know about a potential problem with an automated feeder unplugged by a chonky orange boy. She also cleaned up a mess in an unexpected area which was appreciated!”
About: I am new to cats, but have a lot of love for our feline friends. I volunteered with Waterville Humane Society in Maine all four years of college, helping to socialize shelter cats. My sister also kept her cat in our house, and I took care of her (Patches) when necessary.
“Cindy is AMAZING! She took such amazing care of my boys, and I will continue to book with her when I go out of town. She is someone who you can trust and my cats warmed up to her very quick!”
“Juna took great care of our cats while we were out of town for the holiday! She was very thorough in making sure she knew all the details to best care for our girls and was very communicative throughout her stay with pictures and updates along the way. Will definitely be booking again with her when we can!”
“We’ve used her twice for drop-in visits and home stays, including a full week this month while we were out of town, and she’s been fantastic each time. She’s punctual, attentive, and clearly cares about our pets. She also leaves everything clean and in order. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Hyunjung was amazing with our kitty Luna! She kept such great care of her during her check ins while we were away for the weekend. She was timely, attentive, and took tons of good quality (and adorable) photos of Luna. Highly recommend and appreciated her amazing level of care.”
“Larquana is super reliable, responsive, and caring. My mind is at ease when I’m away on travel. Thank you Larquana! I will be contacting you for all future needed care!”
“Michael is an absolute cat whisperer! He not only followed our detailed instructions to the letter, but also went above and beyond. We were amazed when he managed to get our shyest cat, Sia, to come out from her hiding spot and engage with him, something no other caregiver has ever been able to do. He provided detailed daily reports, and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. We will definitely be requesting him the next time we need a cat caregiver.”
About: Hello! I'm Ellie and am available for occasional walking & drop-in visits. I love dogs and have been doing river for the last 5 years! I can also board and do doggy daycare (I do own a medium sized 10 year old Thurman as well but he loves new buddies!). I have 2 dog loving kids so for all boarding clients - dogs need to be kid-friendly. I love dogs - I will take them on long walks and plenty of playtime/pets! I've always loved dogs and used to volunteer with dogs at animal shelters and I used to work for a pet sitting company where I took care of all types of dogs and cats on the regular! Right now I welcome all sizes and I used to own large Goldens growing up :) Let me know if you have any questions! I am fully available right now for morning, afternoon and evening visits/walks. Weekly Monday through Friday (some weekends too). I love dogs and look forward to meeting furry friends!! I have an unfenced backyard but will keep any dog on a leash anytime we go outside. I will take them on walks around my neighborhood.
“Drew was great with our kitties! They were happy and well cared for. Drew was always excellent with communication, and he even went above and beyond in care by making sure everything was very clean in the process (without needing to even be asked). We are very happy with the service he provided and we will definitely book again in the future!”
“Vidya was great taking care of Maeve while we were out of town! I appreciate how thorough she was in her questions/meet & greet in preparation for watching Maeve. She was on top of sending updates during drop-ins. Maeve definitely appreciated being pampered.”
“We are so fortunate to have found Vitali! If you want to go on vacation and not have to worry about your pets plotting your demise, hire Vitali B! Great communication and our kitties were so relaxed upon our return that they barely noticed us when we walked in to the house. Meow.....”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Chevy Chase
“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”
“Rene not only has two dogs but much experience caring for dogs. My pup loves to spend her days waking and playing with her canine friends. Thank you for the excellent service!”
“Another successful day with Galen! Solar came home, promptly went to rest, and now he’s out like a light. Thank you Galen! And thank you for all the beautifulpictures and the video. I have saved them all to my phone!”
“Diana is a kind soul and an amazing host for my puppy. She’s been very helpful with potty training and always makes sure everything feels safe and comfortable. Her adorable dog, Charlie, is super chill and friendly, which makes the environment even better. Diana is flexible, responsive, and you can feel her genuine passion for caring for animals. We’re already asking her to set up regular visits because we trust her completely. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“I normally don’t leave reviews, but it’s my sincere pleasure to sing Anna’s praises. I had a recurring daycare booking for my Irish Setter two days a week, and Anna was wonderful. Anna was reliable, kind, and clearly loves dogs. My dog was always excited to see her and came home happy and well cared for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’m so grateful we found her and would happily recommend Anna to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter. Five Stars all around!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with Adi & Pat’s care for Louie! They communicate well and clearly, they asked good questions to make sure they’d cover all the bases for Louie’s care, and provided regular updates and photos, which were greatly appreciated. Louie came home happy and relaxed after his stay and knowing he had a comfortable time is great peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for anyone looking for local sitters and I will certainly be rebooking for any future stays!”
“Fitz came home from her daycare stay with Amanda and Andrew so happy and ready for a nap! Amanda has been so easy to communicate with, and hosted us for a brief meet and greet before Fitz’s first stay. She asked lots of great questions about how to keep Fitz safe and happy, and drop-off/pick-up were a breeze. We so appreciate the peace of mind knowing our little girl is being treated like family. Amanda also sent pictures during the day so we could see our pup living her best life. We (and especially Fitz) can’t wait until next time!”
“Antonio is very calm and has a lovely home for your fur baby to enjoy while staying there. Barklee came home exhausted which usually means he had lots of fun.”
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a previous dedicated dog owner ourselves (we recently lost our German shepherd) I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Your pet won’t just receive food, water, and walks, they’ll get attention, affection, playtime, and a comfortable home environment where they can feel safe and loved. I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout your pet’s stay. My goal is simple: for your pet to have such a great time that they’re excited to come back for their next visit. I currently work from home full time and my husband and I are also generally home during the weekends as well! We have a ton of time to Pets in our home are treated like family. We follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks (as energy permits), playtime, medications, and any other special instructions. Whether your pet loves playing, exploring, or curling up for a nap, we make sure they receive the care and companionship they need while you’re away.
“My dog is very happy at Natalia's and with the company of other dogs there. She is happily going to Natalia, which is the biggest sign for me that Natalia's place is a good environment for dogs.”
“Ashley was great with my puppy! She made me feel very confident leaving my dog with her for daycare! You can tell she loves dogs! She has a great backyard! My dog was happy when I picked her up!”
“My Hazel had a great couple of days with Jamie. She totally sacked out after playing with Kohl in the spacious fenced in yard! Jamie promptly replied to messages and shared pictures during Hazel’s stays. Her home is easily accessed from the Beltway, which helped my commute. Jamie is very pleasant, and obviously has much experience with dogs. I highly recommend her services, and hope Hazel can become a repeat visitor!”
About: I used to be a manager at a dog shelter which I absolutely loved before moving to a new state. I’ve also grown up on a farm and handled all types of pets from goats, pigs, cows to dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I believe every animal deserves to be treated as family not just a pet. I am always home until 3pm when I leave for work, but when I am not home my partner is home. Someone will always be there to take care of your furry or scaly family and will never be left without someone even for a second. They will be welcomed with love, play, and kindness in my home. We will ensure nothing is around that will harm the animal whether it is cables, shoes, food, etc. we will always be around to ensure your pet is taken care of and in good health.
About: I’ve had a dog for over 10 years, from a baby to an adult I have experience with it all. I feel like our pets are the babies we didn’t have but always needed! I am available full time, weekdays and weekends! I have a very flexible schedule, feel free to message me if you have any questions and I’ll get back to you with 1-2hrs. I am a very nurturing type of pet mom, I prefer pets that are trained so we can spend more time having fun! It is just me in my home, I do have any pets in my home. I do have wood floors but carpet in my room. I like to go for walks around the neighborhood, play, give treats, but always make time for their naps lol! I am big on scheduling, when it comes to meals, and walks I know some animals have a strict routine and like to follow that.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Chevy Chase
“Jonathan was great with our recently adopted dog that gave him a hard time. He was calm, patient and adapted to the situation as needed, communicating well along the way.”
“Everything with Ri worked smoothly . She came a few days in advance so we could meet each other and she could meet the dogs. She was friendly and clearly comfortable with dogs. She walked the dogs without a hitch and left the key in the agreed upon location.”
About: Looking for a reliable, adaptable friend to visit your dog midday? I've got you! And I'd love to meet your dog! My dog passed away in 2021 and I've been looking for opportunities to make some new furry friends ever since! I've played and walked and taken care of many dogs of many breeds and sizes at various levels of training. If you have specific training or behavioral goals for your dog, I will be sure to incorporate that into my visits. Currently, I work at my full-time job from 3:30am-noon and can be available as soon as 12:30pm or as soon as it takes me to travel to your pet's location. I am very flexible when it comes to the specifics in how you and your pet would like our visits to work! We could go for walks on a specific path, play to exercise and deplete built up energy, or simply run around in the fenced-in backyard for potty time.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life! I had my first dog, adopted from Dogs XL, in 2014. I love big dogs, little dogs, and medium dogs. All breeds and types (with a preferred love for rescues!). I love learning the personalities of new animals, and learning their quirks and how they show their love. I just graduated from college and am currently looking for long-term employment. Due to only having part-time gigs right now, your animal will have frequent walks, supervised time outside, and pets. I am willing to be flexible in my schedule for home visits too, coming as frequently as desired. I have a fenced yard and no other animals in the house, but two parents, a brother, and myself (all pet lovers), so there will be lots of people to keep your animals company and play.
“We met Nicole for the first time. She's a wonderful young woman, full of positive energy and joy. Our dog Sasha immediately liked and trusted her. It's clear that Nicole has a huge heart for animals. We offered Nicole a full-year schedule right away. ~ Tom”
About: I'm the woman taking an evening walk and asking if I can say Hi! to your dog. Two dogs - one as a child, the second 35 years later - were among the most important relationships of my life. No offence to family and friends. The second was a Black Lab and taking him on his evening walk in a local park in Moscow was the best part of every day. I'm retired and walk for pleasure anyhow. I am the servant of Dasha, a rescue cat with more personality than good sense, who is willing to let me spend nights away to take care of your beloved dog or cat. Friends and family have already benefited from my "service" - and now you can too. I'm retired, with a schedule that is my own to make. I'm only looking for Rover duties in the 20814 and nearby zip codes that I can get to easily and quickly. Daily activities include daily walks and almost daily lap swimming, lots of reading, too much scrolling, and occasional editing and writing gigs. Oh, and playing with my cat Dasha. When staying over for your dog, I'd live at your place and visit Dasha for a few hours daily, as well as go out for errands and laps at the Y pool. I expect dogs to need attention and I'll give it. Though we lived in an apartment in Moscow, our Black Lab Jasper enjoyed the life of Riley, with walks at nearby parks. Most of the day he spent following us from room to room, positioning himself strategically so he always could see one of us at all times. Cats, of course, are different; I wait for Dasha to emerge from wherever she's "hiding" to let me know when she wants to be played with, brushed, petted. If this is your pet - great. If not, I'll adapt to that, too!
About: Hello, fellow dog lovers! With over 20 years experience as a dog owner, I would be honored to take in your dog as part of our family! Nothing makes me happier than to see a happy, healthy dog! We would love to care for your furry family member and treat them as our own in your absence. We have a very large, securely-fenced back yard with room to roam, run, lounge and play while being loved, catered to and cared for by our family! We also offer 2-3 walks per day throughout our neighborhood (has sidewalks). I am home during the day with my children so your dogs are rarely left alone. **Please note: late pick-ups are accepted however, daycare fees may apply. Thank you for your consideration. I hope to meet you and your loved one! I am a stay-at-home mother of four children (in school) so I am able to provide lots of love, care and attention to your dogs! I have a fenced in, large yard with a very friendly dog to keep your fur baby company! I am also able to crate your dog if desired.
“I will book with Nailah 10 times out of 10. She is consistent with communication, very kind and caring, and professional. Nailah walks my dog about 6-8 times a month. I know Ivy loves the walks!”
“Edgar was great! He was willing to work with Tucker’s schedule and looked out for Tucker with other dogs as he hadn’t been fully vaccinated yet. I would totally recommend Edgar!”

Chris was also responsive throughout the process: booking, meet and greet, drop off and pickup. Our dog was happy and relaxed after a one week stay with Chris. Highly recommend him for a stay!”
“Erica (“EJ”) was awesome with our doggy, as our first Rover experience we could not be happier; she provided constant updates, photos and videos of our guy so we knew he was doing well and having a good time”
“Francis had a great time. Austin and Majid were extremely flexible and great at communication. We will definitely be looking to use them again. Thanks!”

I know shes probably happier with him, than at home with me😂 He gives great pupdates and sends pics, always flexible with dates and times, and even helped us out in a pinch.”
“This was the first time we used Rover and we couldn't have found a better dog sitter for our Peppi than Adva and her husband Steven. Peppi is a very shy dog and doesn't get along with strange people too easily, but we could see in her that she had really enjoyed her stay in Adva's home. The next stay with them is already booked!”
