This was my second time leaving my rescue dog, Tao, with Rouday, and both experiences have been great. He was understanding of Tao's occasional timidity after being bounced between multiple shelters as a puppy. I also appreciate that he makes dog sitting a family affair, which has been great for Tao's socialization. I'd definitely recommend Rouday to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!

Where do I start! This was the first time with an in-home pet sitter. The experience was fantastic. From the beginning, Valeria and her family made Krysti and I comfortable. I received daily updates and lovely pictures of Krysti during her 10 day stay. I never felt anxious or cautious at anytime during our time apart. If anything, I was a bit concerned that she wouldn’t want to come home with me.LOL! Overall, I truly loved this experience. Thank you, Valeria! I have another cruise this year, and definitely a re-book.

Amani and her family did a great job with Oso over the long holiday break. It was a 10 day stay which is the longest we've ever left Oso with a Rover, and felt very secure with Amani the entire time. She was very communicative from the get-go, scheduling a meet beforehand to make sure Oso was comfortable at their home and with their other dog. They have a great fully fenced in yard for the dogs to play, and I know from Oso's GPS collar that he went on several walks and a dog park trip. Amani provided updates and photos every day which was great. And lastly, she was willing to give him his ear drop medication every day while he was there, which made us very relieved. Would definitely book with Amani again!

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.

I can’t thank Diego enough for the incredible care he provided for my dog, Zulu, especially after his recent surgery. Diego went above and beyond—making sure Zulu took all his medications on time, preventing him from licking his wound, and giving him the special attention he needed during the healing process. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Zulu was in such capable and compassionate hands. Diego is truly my go-to for both boarding and daycare whenever he’s available. His level of attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care makes all the difference. See you in August!

Megan sent pictures daily which helped a lot and she left my place really clean. I will definitely be booking Megan in the future and suggest you do too.

WOW! for our hyper-attached dog's first 1/2 day with Angela, we are so impressed! When we picked Skippy up, I had to throw a treat to lure her away from Angela 🥳 Then Skippy wanted to walk a bit on Angela's street and afterward Skippy went to Angela's gate instead of to our car. That behavior speaks volumes about Skippy's comfort level with Angela. Angela appears to have a very calming influence on Skippy 🥰 Thank you, Angela!

Malvi and Andrej are great. They are thoughtful about how different dogs will get along. They have a big backyard and the pups get lots of playtime outside. The first floor of their house is well set up for dogs, and they take really good care of the pups who come to spend the day. My dog has done day care at their house as well as boarding, and she comes home relaxed and happy every time.

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 have experience fostering a puppy and volunteering at dog shelters, where I regularly take dogs out for walks and give them loving attention. I grew up with a golden retriever named Max, which sparked my lifelong love for dogs. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am available throughout the weekdays and select weekends. I kindly ask for advance notice when possible, as I am a college student balancing my schedule. I care for pets in a safe, calm home environment with plenty of space to play and relax. I live in a house with a large backyard. I am happy to crate your dog if needed, as long as you provide the crate.

About: Hi there! I'm a dog mom of an energetic boxer, Gus. Gus is my first dog, but from a young age, I always walked dogs in the neighborhood. As an adult, I had over 4 years of experience with doggy roommates. I have experiences with many different personalities and sizes so I'm very comfortable with them. Gus is an excellent walking buddy who is good on the leash and so love to play with a grieve l friend for a visit. I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00-5:00, so I'm around most of the time to monitor play and keep the pets company. If it helps lighten the load when packing, I havethe following items already: Extra dog beds Dog bowls including a slow feeder Feel free to pack these items if course if they will make your pup happier to have their own. A few things I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00 to 5:00. So I'm around the Pets most of the day. I also have a fenced in backyard for the them to run and and get some energy out. I will walk them in the neighborhood and will avoid busy streets. I also don't introduce them to other dogs while walking them to avoid any accidental negative greetings in my care.

I would love to use his services again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Joey for your flexibility and patience with Meimei!

I was really impressed with Jason N. and can't recommend him highly enough! My pup is a shy rescue with separation anxiety, but she immediately felt right at home at Jason N.'s and was having so much fun with the wonderful resident dog that she barely noticed when I left. I received regular updates on her day that completely assuaged any concerns I'd normally have, and when I picked her up at the end of the day I found her happy, relaxed, and all played-out. Having someone I really trust to watch Stella is an immense piece of mind, and I'll definitely be calling Jason N. next time I need a sitter.

About: I believe great pet care is about more than simply being there… it’s about making your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs, with a patient and gentle approach for puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra reassurance. You can count on me to provide dependable, thoughtful care and plenty of love while you’re away. 🦋🤍 Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I work from home 3–4 days a week and don’t have children, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to your pet. I’m able to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day while keeping their routine comfortable and familiar. I truly enjoy having pets around and would love to make them feel right at home while you’re away. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication or special instructions, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s comfort and boundaries, and committed to keeping you updated so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

This was my second time leaving my rescue dog, Tao, with Rouday, and both experiences have been great. He was understanding of Tao's occasional timidity after being bounced between multiple shelters as a puppy. I also appreciate that he makes dog sitting a family affair, which has been great for Tao's socialization. I'd definitely recommend Rouday to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!

Amani and her family did a great job with Oso over the long holiday break. It was a 10 day stay which is the longest we've ever left Oso with a Rover, and felt very secure with Amani the entire time. She was very communicative from the get-go, scheduling a meet beforehand to make sure Oso was comfortable at their home and with their other dog. They have a great fully fenced in yard for the dogs to play, and I know from Oso's GPS collar that he went on several walks and a dog park trip. Amani provided updates and photos every day which was great. And lastly, she was willing to give him his ear drop medication every day while he was there, which made us very relieved. Would definitely book with Amani again!

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.

Based on the photos of her sprawled out and lounging around their home, our 12-year-old pup was very comfortable in Austin & Majid's care! They were kind, professional, and communicative throughout our time away.

My previous Rover family left the area so I reached out to Aaron and Paweena, who quickly scheduled a meet & greet and asked good questions that left me confident that the would care for my girl. They invested extra time with her to overcome initial homesickness and even let her sleep on their bed.

Rodrigo was a lifesaver on multiple occasions in just a few short days - accepting a frantic last minute booking I had when some plans fell through and being very patient and helpful dealing with unexpected travel delays on my return. Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!

Chloe came back in such great spirits and as if we were never gone! Jena took great care of her and was super attentive to my older dogs little quirks! Would definitely reach out again if needed!

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!

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.

Simon (and I) had a great experience with Caitlin and would book with her again. She paid close attention to his care details and shared updates that gave me peace of mind that he was settling in nicely and having a good time.
