“Murphy spent 2+ weeks with Jeff while we were out of the country. Jeff provided regular updates and took excellent care of him while we were away. Murphy had so much fun playing with the other dogs too - it was a great experience all around.”
“Colleen and her family took wonderful care of my dog. She is a very trustworthy and conscientious dog mom. I appreciate that her home has a fenced yard. She also was able to administer daily high drops to my senior dog. I received updates and photos. Thank you Colleen and family!”
“Tabatha is a great sitter and I cannot recommend her highly enough! I have a shy cat, Pixie, who is currently mid-treatment requiring daily medication not an easy ask for any sitter. Tabatha handled it all with so much patience and care. She took the time to earn Pixie's trust, gave me daily updates so I never had to wonder how things were going, and closely monitored her eating and litter box habits throughout my trip. Knowing someone was paying that level of attention gave me genuine peace of mind. Her sweet cat Gracie was a bonus, such a gentle companion in the home. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Tabatha is your person. Absolutely will be booking again!”
“Tasha took great care of Ruthie and was super flexible with last minute requests when our flight back got delayed. Lots of nice daily updates. Would definitely use again!”
“She's great with Ziggy & Brooklyn! Super responsive, gives frequent updates, & really takes time to care for them, noting changes in bowel movements & even combing them. Highly recommend!”
“Luisa was incredible with our pup who was staying with her for the very first time. From the consistent updates (photo AND video) to the text updates of how he was managing, she let us have a full trip with a peace of mind! Could not recommend enough!”
“Thank you to Nicole for taking such good care of Shadow. She was very consistent in her updates and let me know how much fun he was having in the backyard. Shadow definitely appreciate the open space to run around and be a happy puppy! Would highly recommend Nicole’s services!!!”
“Our dog is normally very anxious and barky around other dogs but she was wagging her tail and happily hanging with the other pups when we picked her up. Pamela was also very flexible with return times. Thanks so much!”
“Moana had a great stay! She’s pretty shy and anxious so I appreciated the patience they had with her while she got more comfortable. She looked calm and happy as can be in all the photo and video updates. Would definitely book again!”
“My go-to sitter forever! My lil bud always comes back from Aunt Crystal’s house happy and grounded. I always look forward to the daily report and videos that show how much his spirit is thriving with Crystal’s awesome care. We’ll be back soon for more enrichment and fun!”
“I have had sitters for my Teddy before, but never felt so comfortable. She communicated well and gave frequent updates. She took great physical care of him. She even washed his little shirts before I got him. That's above and beyond. Im thankful.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“I highly recommend Angie and her dog-loving family! Our dog has never come home from a week at "camp" happier (or more exhausted). They treated Flynn like one of the family from the moment he arrived. He absolutely loved playing with the kids and the other dogs, and he was very intrigued by the chickens. Flynn got plenty of exercise in their spacious yard, played lots and lots of ball, got plenty of pats and love, and even slept on the bed with the kids. Angie sent plenty of pictures and updates reassuring us that our anxious pup was settling in well. We will be return customers for sure!”
“Bria was great! Extremely responsive when I booked. Very knowledgeable about caring for my daughter’s Yorkie! I didn’t have to provide much instructions, she just knew what our fur baby needed! She loved on our dog the entire time he was with her!! 5 out of 5! Highly recommend!”
“Abigal was very kind with Chiquita, responsive and very communicative with pictures and daily updates on how she was doing. She accommodated a late arrival and a last minute change in pickup, and her care for my pup was visible. Great sitter and would gladly book again!”
About: I love animals and I have always had a variety of pets (both typical and unique) as beloved members of my family or cherished beings I’ve gotten the opportunity to spend time with. Some of the animals I’ve lived with or cared for include: dogs, cats, fish (salt and fresh), birds, hedgehogs, hamsters, reptiles, rabbits, pigs, and many more! I currently live in Hyattsville with my partner and our 4 beautiful rescue dogs (Havanese-6 y/o, Pomeranian-17 y/o, Husky-12 y/o, and Pittie-8 y/o). Over the years, my diverse and pawfict pack has taught me more and more about pet care. Especially my senior Pomeranian–whom I’ve had the privilege to love since he was a rambunctious puppy–now into his baby grandpa-hood, and hopefully into his twilight years. I look forward to walking dogs and meeting/sitting various pets in our neighborhood. Thank you for considering me to care for your special family member! My schedule can be somewhat flexible - if I know in advance I can change the days/hours I work. I currently work as a substitute teacher and part-time for parks and rec. When I’m working, my partner is usually home. On my off from work days, I’m available to sit and/or drop-in on your pet. On weekends my availability is variable, but I try my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date. My partner and I live in Hyattsville with our 4 dogs (Havanese-Maltese, Pomeranian, Husky mix, and Terrier mix). We have a fully fenced-in backyard and 2 separate living spaces in our home, giving us room for extra pups. Our home has one-step entry in the back, making it great for elderly dogs or dogs with joint problems.
“Austin and Majid have watched my dog 3 times and been soooo wonderful. They are loving and considerate of her, and they kept me updated! My dog has some anxiety and behavior challenges, and they were very understanding and patient. Highly recommend!”
“Sonia was fantastic with Murray and was extremely warm and understanding throughout his stay. She also sent the best dog-sitting pictures of anyone we've booked with and it shows how much she cares.”
“Stephanie and Luis were great with my dog, Shipley. I felt like I picked the best possible spot for him to stay while I was out of town. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Aaron and Paweena took great care of Tilly! They were responsive and flexible, and clearly love dogs. Tilly is excited for her next stay. Thank you!”

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our three cats in a complex setting with the medical needs of one of them. We felt so much trust that everything would be OK while we were away thank you thank you.”

“Carla took excellent care of Pumpkin. Made sure his fountain was full, times feeder was still going, litterbox was clean, and that he hadn't accidentally locked himself in anywhere.”
About: I’ve had several pets growing up, including cats, and I’m currently a proud cat owner myself. Living with cats has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding are. I know every cat has a different personality, and I love taking the time to earn their trust while making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, or simply enjoy quiet company, I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I give my own.
About: My place is YOUR pet haven away from home! I’m very outgoing, spontaneous, adventurous, and responsible. I’m very full of life and love for animals. The energy your pet has will certainly be met. I enjoy the ability to help others so guarantee that you could trust me! Is your pet ready to be even more spoiled and loved?

“Brian took great care of Aslan. He carefully followed our instructions for Aslan's special food and medicine needs and was very gentle with our little old guy cat. 😊”
“Camila took care of Ivy for 8 days with two visits a day. She was on time and shared updates and photos when available. She was also patient with Ivy by letting her have her space. She also helped keep Ivy comfortable and cozy. It was reassuring to know Ivy’s food and water were being monitored while I was away”
About: I helped raise 3 dogs from puppyhood and cared for one senior dog and cat. The senior dog had major health problems, so I'm more than comfortable caring for pets with specific needs and health difficulties. I'm currently involved in volunteer work, and my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be available for the summer. Scheduling will be tailored around you and your pet's unique needs. As a pre-law student, I highly value and respect trust, safety, and boundaries. I promise to respect you, your home, and of course, your pet.
“Lindsay is amazing! Our cat loves her, as shown by the photos and videos she sends of him rubbing against her and offering her his belly to rub. She is always on time and responsive. On this trip, we had an issue with our automatic feeder and she offered to add an extra visit each day at a reduced rate to make sure he got his second meal. We definitely hope we can continue to work with her in the future.”
“We really appreciate Zach being available and taking such good care of our three cats and our one foster cat! He navigated our house well and treated all the cats with tenderness. Thank you!”

“Jeff looked after our dog (Toby) when I had to leave town for the day. I ran into delays during the commute home, but Jeff was v understanding. I'm so grateful for Jeff's flexibility and Toby came home a happy camper :)”
“Jeramy is amazing! She is so patient and loving with our girl and her dog Henry is so sweet. What a relief to have someone who is kind and dependable to watch our dog. Highly recommend!!!”
“Tabatha took absolutely amazing care of our timid dog Beetle. It was Beetle’s first time coming for daycare and, though Beetle was nervous, Tabatha did a great job building a relationship at Beetle’s pace. She was patient and caring with Beetle and provided us lots of photos and updates detailing Beetle’s day and mood. Would 100% recommend!!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have had several pets of my own growing up, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and family, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I recently graduated, so I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, for both you and your pet. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walking routes. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re happy and doing well. I also treat every home with the utmost respect and will care for your pet as if they were part of my own family.
“Our pup Bella had a great time with Pamela during doggy day care. My wife and I appreciated Pamela taking such good care of her while we were at work, and we loved the photo updates she sent!”
“Catie was great with my pup Ruby! Ruby has some extra triggers, and Catie not only was great with making sure Ruby did okay and figuring out what Ruby needed alongside the other dogs in care that day, but also provided frequent updates throughout the day. 5/5!”
“Mei regularly cares for my older dog Bear and she does a fantastic job. She takes him on walks and I feel confident that he will have a wonderful day in her care. I highly recommend Mei!”
“We all know how anxious we can be about leaving our furry friends for daycare. Fear not! Cal & Kelly are absolutely fabulous. Yes, this is the kind of place where tour pup may not want to leave. 11 stars!! (spinal tap)”
“Rita was absolutely amazing with my dog, Natalie! Natalie can be reactive and typically needs time to adjust to new environments and people, but Rita went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable and supported. She took the time to really understand Natalie’s needs, triggers, and what makes her happy, which made such a difference. I really appreciated the regular photo updates and how communicative she was throughout—checking in, asking thoughtful questions, and keeping me reassured the entire time. It’s clear Rita genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort, and because of that, Natalie had a great experience. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Rita!”
About: I’ve owned two dogs in my lifetime and watched others dogs outside of my own as well. I love the doggies and they love me! I currently work from home so I have a lot of time to watch pets who need the attention while their loved ones are away. I leave in a secure apartment building that offers designated dog areas. My apartment itself is big enough for he/she to walk around and be comfortable.
About: My best friend is my deaf dog, Timmy (I have human friends too, but they're less obedient). We didn't know that he was deaf when we adopted him, so he doesn't know his name. He is four years old, and very well-trained. He loves having doggy friends, just like me. Before Timmy, I also raised two voluptuous guinea pigs named Swiss and Muenster (like the cheese) in addition to caring for recreational therapy guinea pigs who live at the National Institutes of Health. I promise that your best buddies will be in good hands with me no matter what service you choose. I can also guarantee that your favorite furry friends will be thoroughly exercised before they are returned back home to you. I am in my junior year of college at the University of Maryland College Park, so I have extra free time on certain days to walk dogs and provide doggy day care :) In my home, I am always sure to have the dogs go outside regularly, with at least two walks during doggy daycare. I provide plenty of water and will provide any food or treats that you might bring for them. I will give them lots of love and playtime as well :)
About: I’ve taken care of pets all my life! I helped raise and take care of a Golden Retriever for 14 years in my childhood home until she passed away. Right know I have 3 elderly dogs who are my BFF's. I can't imagine my life without a furry friend. Also I've helped watch family and friends dogs since a young age. I love dogs of any kind and will love yours like my own! I’m currently working close to home with very flexible hours. I can work with your schedule to find the right time to care for your pets! I will approach your pet in a calm and slow manner until they feel comfortable with me. I have a fenced yard. My neighborhood is great for walks. Also depending on your preference with dog park/ walks, I typically take dogs for a 30 min walk (of course each dog is different in taking their time I fully respect that). If your dog is comfortable at the dog park, I’d love to take them there as well! My dog park is 20 minutes away (walking).I can accomodate dogs in crates or dogs that sleep on dog beds. In case of an emergency, I will always contact you first and take your pet to your preferred vet. I have a jeep which your dog will feel really comfortable in, so I am able to get your pet to whichever vet quickly!
“Julie took good care of my timid pup Sophie. She sent some pics during the day, and Sophie seemed happy and comfortable when I picked her up. Julie is also very easy to communicate with - a plus. I'll be using her again to care for Sophie.”
About: My Golden Lab, Grace, was my best friend. She escaped from a puppy mill at 3 months old and I had her ever since. Dogs offer such unconditional love and the chance to repay that even a little bit is rewarding. I work full time in mental health close to home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me a lot of free time and the ability to make my own schedule. I love reading, writing, cooking and exploring my new city I now call home. I'm also experienced in taking care of bunnies as well and have sat over 10 clients. I love chilling with them while reading! I mean, it’s a fact that floppy bunny ears are the cutest thing ever, right? I think Bill Nye the Science Guy taught me that. My experience with pets over the years has taught me that they often act out when they don’t feel comfortable. They also sometimes show aggression or fear in new circumstances. This is all totally normal! My first focus is always allowing a visiting pooch to scope out the place at their own pace without any distractions. This allows them to feel as comfortable as possible. I stay close and keep a special eye on them in case they’re telling me with body language that they’re upset, scared, hungry or just want some outside time! I learned from Grace that all animals deserve compassion and understanding and they’ll feel loved and understood. I would love the chance to provide a home-away-from-home for your doggie that they will love to return to each time you’re away! I work three days of the week remotely, leaving me with a lot of one on one time with your fur baby to cuddle, take a walk, or have a belly rub! When your baby steps into my home, they are now officially in a space they are free to explore without restrict so they can find the most comfortable spot that makes them feel cozy and welcomed!
“Brit had such a great time with Angela! They managed two walks, despite the rain, and Brit slept the whole way home. We will definitely be back!”
“Aaron & Paweena were great and accommodated me so last minute! My sweet boy can be a bit nervous at first when it comes to settling in but he had such a great day and was absolutely exhausted by the end of the day! I came back to him chewing on a treat they gave him & he barely acknowledged me picking him up lol this won’t be my last time booking!”
About: I have grown up with dogs from a young kid and they have always been a constant in my life. My kids always had at least 2 dogs in the house and even though they are gone, I still loving pets around. I specifically like to take care of small to medium dogs, senior dogs, and dogs that are house trained. I am very excited to start this journey on Rover and meet and take care of your dogs. I am retired and am at home full-time which gives me the availability to fully cater to your dogs. I like to go on walks in my neighbourhood and spend time in my fenced in backyard. I have a fenced in backyard with plent of room to play and run around. I also have a very walkable neighbourhood and have an extra room for your pet to have their space.

“Zada communicated with me about my little guy and how his walk went. I could tell from her feedback that she was very aware of his sensitivity to sound and overall overstimulation from the city. Despite his sensitivity, she was patient with him and let him continue to explore on his walk. You definitely want Zada walking your fur babies :)”
“Carla was on time and sent me pictures of the walk she took with my dog. I appreciate her help and she has been flexible with my confusing schedule. Would recommend and plan to use her services again in the future.”

About: While I’ve always had dogs growing up, I am also very well-versed in dog and cat sitting. Whether that’s walking, feeding, changing cat litter, or simply keeping them company. I’m currently working part-tim so pet care fits great into my daily/weekly routine! I can do daily visits up to 3 times a day, whatever fits your schedule best. I will care for your pets however you prefer. Whether that’s a walk, letting them outside in a safe background, or watching your cat(s).
About: I love animals and I have always had a variety of pets (both typical and unique) as beloved members of my family or cherished beings I’ve gotten the opportunity to spend time with. Some of the animals I’ve lived with or cared for include: dogs, cats, fish (salt and fresh), birds, hedgehogs, hamsters, reptiles, rabbits, pigs, and many more! I currently live in Hyattsville with my partner and our 4 beautiful rescue dogs (Havanese-6 y/o, Pomeranian-17 y/o, Husky-12 y/o, and Pittie-8 y/o). Over the years, my diverse and pawfict pack has taught me more and more about pet care. Especially my senior Pomeranian–whom I’ve had the privilege to love since he was a rambunctious puppy–now into his baby grandpa-hood, and hopefully into his twilight years. I look forward to walking dogs and meeting/sitting various pets in our neighborhood. Thank you for considering me to care for your special family member! My schedule can be somewhat flexible - if I know in advance I can change the days/hours I work. I currently work as a substitute teacher and part-time for parks and rec. When I’m working, my partner is usually home. On my off from work days, I’m available to sit and/or drop-in on your pet.

“Highly recommend Zach! He has just started walking my dog, Cooper, M-F for the past 2 weeks and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Zach is incredibly reliable and punctual, and he has a natural way with dogs that is evident in how excited Cooper gets whenever he sees him. Also takes fire photos of Cooper too!”
About: Growing up, caring for animals wasn’t just a hobby—it was a responsibility I took on from a young age. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve been helping stray animals by providing food, basic care, and safe spaces whenever possible. That early experience shaped my deep understanding of animal behavior, especially with shy, anxious, or previously neglected pets. In addition to hands-on experience with strays, I’ve volunteered at pet rescue organizations where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, socializing animals, and preparing them for adoption. This has given me experience with pets of all temperaments, including those who need extra patience and attention. Pet sitting has become a steady and meaningful part of my daily routine while I am unemployed. It gives structure to my day, keeps me active, and provides a sense of responsibility. Caring for animals, managing feeding schedules, and ensuring their comfort helps me stay productive while also earning some income and maintaining a positive mindset during this transitional period. --- I do not have pets of my own, but I provide attentive and reliable care for pets in both my home and my clients’ homes, depending on the service requested. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, while also ensuring the home remains clean and secure. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with regular supervision, exercise, and consistent routines to help pets feel at ease. My focus is always on maintaining the pet’s normal schedule and providing a calm, caring experience.
“Trinity has been an excellent daytime walker for my dog. She’s reliable and communicative, but most importantly she takes great care of my pup. I definitely would recommend her to anyone interested.”
About: I’m available 24/7. Just shoot me a text or message! I’m available in Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland. :) I’ve done pet sitting, and dog walking for years now. My most professional experience was working as a Pet Care Associate at a pet boarding facility. My tasks included: - power washing and deep cleaning the suites the dogs and cats were staying in - meal preparation - feed the dogs - scheduled playtimes - scheduled walks - Tender Loving Care (TLC) - exercise on doggy treadmill Pet Sitting, pet walking/overall pet care is my full time job, so I have full open availability every day of the week, anytime of the week! Please do reach out and consider me to be your pets best friend and caretaker as I love dogs and cats and love seeing their cute fluffy faces :) For boarding purposes, I live in an apartment. There is a big fence and gate around the apartment building, a nearby walking trail, and even a dog park just an eight minute walk from my apartment. My apartment is dog and cat friendly as many of the residents have dogs and cats and other animals in their own units.
“Kaylynn has been an amazing dog walker for my two small dogs. She has been very accommodating to both dogs unique needs including diapering my older dog after walks. Would highly recommend her to my friends with pets.”
“Alexandra has been a wonderful new buddy and walker for my dog. She is patient, communicative, consistent and caring. We’ll definitely be working with her more in the future!”
“Elizabeth is dependable and communicative, which is extremely important to me. She came when she said she would, left cards on Rover with details of Nya's walk, and was a pleasure to deal with. We will be booking with her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Aubrey, and I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years caring for all kinds of animals — from household pets to farm animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether they’re playful puppies and kittens or senior pets needing extra patience and care. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy care, training, routines, and the patience and attention young dogs need. As a college student and future grad student at UMD, I have a very flexible schedule, especially over the summer and into next semester. I’m available for overnight stays, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, medication administration, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand every pet has different needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college and future grad student here at UMD, I have a flexible schedule with availability for overnights, walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure to ask questions not only about your puppy but your house and regular routines. Health in animals is very important while you’re away so I always ask to have detailed notes or instructions.
About: I grew up with 2 cats, a dog, and crested gecko. I have pet sat since high school, watching over everything from an axolotl to a parrot! I currently live with 2 cats and would love to hangout with any of your furry or scaly babies. I have a pretty open school schedule and am around most of the time. My school days typically end around 1pm, but I am able to come back in between classes if needed. I plan to follow the owner’s instructions for pet care as everyone cares for their own a little bit differently. I have experience with senior animal care and would love to help out.
About: I’m Tracey and I love fur babies! They are the most loyal and sweet pals who truly care about everyone they interact with. I miss having my constant companion, Jasper, since he passed and I’m not currently able to adopt a pup. Providing loving care to the wonderful animals of my community is the perfect way to get my ‘dog fix’ in! What you will love about me is that I’ve been a lifelong pet parent and have been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family members for years. I’m responsible and trustworthy, and aim to create a respectful and friendly relationship between you and your family! I treat others’ fur babies as if they were my own because I know how important they are to their families. Being communicative is also important when watching pups, so I keep you updated with photos and texts so you know what we’re up to while you’re away. I have cared for dogs of every size, breed, and personality and have specific experience with Miniature Schnauzers, as I owned one for over 12 years. I was also a foster mom with Schnauzer Rescue League of the Mid Atlantic. I would be happy to care for any pooch on Rover! I live Hyattsville in a beautiful and spacious home that is completely pet-friendly. All animal visitors are allowed on the furniture with your permission, and can enjoy cuddle sessions on the couch each night. We have a fenced-in backyard where your dog can enjoy safe potty breaks and play time or even sunbathing and nap time! My neighborhood is perfect for pups, too! It’s a mix of townhomes and family homes with lots of children. It’s a very walkable area close to shops and restaurants and a doggie park. I live with my 21 year old son, Timothy, who is a former Rover sitter and would be happy to dole out extra cuddles to your pal. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm tweaking areas around my house, working in my garden, exercising, or volunteering at Meals on Wheels. I love being a stress free as possible and having doggie visitors helps me stay happy and healthy! I can’t wait to meet you.
About: I volunteered at the Milwaukee Humane Society doing dog walking for one year with dogs of all ages, backgrounds, and sizes! I also have taken care of 1 senior dog for a year, 2 pups for a couple weeks, and 3 dogs (two being seniors!) for 2 years. In addition to this, I have 8 years of equine experience (13 years of riding, 8 of chores, and 3 of farm staying), and I've also watched goats, ducks, and chickens on these beautiful farms! I'm confident with medications and different personalities because of these experiences. I'm a full-time student currently, so my weeks are pretty open! I am very flexible and will always be able to make time for your pet. Early mornings and evenings are my most available times! I am a very attentive caretaker who followers instructions precisely. Seriously, precisely - I will ask lots of questions if I'm confused! I love spending time with pets, whether playing or relaxing. I do have a cat in my home, so your pet must be okay with a cat!

“Tabatha is a great sitter and I cannot recommend her highly enough! I have a shy cat, Pixie, who is currently mid-treatment requiring daily medication not an easy ask for any sitter. Tabatha handled it all with so much patience and care. She took the time to earn Pixie's trust, gave me daily updates so I never had to wonder how things were going, and closely monitored her eating and litter box habits throughout my trip. Knowing someone was paying that level of attention gave me genuine peace of mind. Her sweet cat Gracie was a bonus, such a gentle companion in the home. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Tabatha is your person. Absolutely will be booking again!”
“Tasha took great care of Ruthie and was super flexible with last minute requests when our flight back got delayed. Lots of nice daily updates. Would definitely use again!”
“She's great with Ziggy & Brooklyn! Super responsive, gives frequent updates, & really takes time to care for them, noting changes in bowel movements & even combing them. Highly recommend!”
“Moana had a great stay! She’s pretty shy and anxious so I appreciated the patience they had with her while she got more comfortable. She looked calm and happy as can be in all the photo and video updates. Would definitely book again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“I highly recommend Angie and her dog-loving family! Our dog has never come home from a week at "camp" happier (or more exhausted). They treated Flynn like one of the family from the moment he arrived. He absolutely loved playing with the kids and the other dogs, and he was very intrigued by the chickens. Flynn got plenty of exercise in their spacious yard, played lots and lots of ball, got plenty of pats and love, and even slept on the bed with the kids. Angie sent plenty of pictures and updates reassuring us that our anxious pup was settling in well. We will be return customers for sure!”
“Bria was great! Extremely responsive when I booked. Very knowledgeable about caring for my daughter’s Yorkie! I didn’t have to provide much instructions, she just knew what our fur baby needed! She loved on our dog the entire time he was with her!! 5 out of 5! Highly recommend!”
“Austin and Majid have watched my dog 3 times and been soooo wonderful. They are loving and considerate of her, and they kept me updated! My dog has some anxiety and behavior challenges, and they were very understanding and patient. Highly recommend!”
“Aaron and Paweena took great care of Tilly! They were responsive and flexible, and clearly love dogs. Tilly is excited for her next stay. Thank you!”
“Payton and her husband were awesome! Our dogs had such an incredible time with them, they almost didn’t want to leave. They provided updates regularly and lots of mental stimulation and walks for our pups. Can’t wait to use them again!”
“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!”
“Kamil did an AMAZING job caring for my sweet little Oreo. She sent lots of videos and photos to keep me sane while I was away. Definitely one of the best dog sitters I have found on Rover. She even included a little care package for me and Oreo. So thoughtful and sweet. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back!”
“Christian was so great with Itty! She sent me pictures everyday of them out on walks and Itty curled up in the house. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Christin and James were amazing !! My dog Jade loved every minute. They are extremely communicative and provided numerous updates. I know Jade cannot wait to come back and visit !”
“Our dog had a great weekend with Coralis! She was happy when she arrived, and happy when we came to pick her up. Coralis kept us updated all weekend with photos and text messages. She met us promptly and was accomodating of last-minute time changes as we were stuck in traffic.”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“I genuinely cannot recommend McKinley enough! She is the sweetest, kindest, and most thoughtful sitter I could have ever asked for. From the moment I dropped Hamilton off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such amazing hands. She sent me daily photos and checked in throughout the day with updates on everything he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ve honestly never seen Hamilton happier. He looked so comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to be there, I think he was actually a little sad to leave, lol. It was so obvious that McKinley treated him like he was her own, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, keep you updated, and go above and beyond, McKinley is the person to book. I would trust her with Hamilton again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be using her in the future. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pet!”
“Malvi and Andrej are amazing hosts and your dog will have the best time in their yard. We have appreciated their help when we have had to leave our girl. Highly recommend.”
“Pancho had a great time at Hayden’s - he came home quite tired! Haydenn has been very responsive and accommodating with Pancho’s needs and time of arrival / pick up. Will come back again!”
