“Sophia is the best! Finding Sophia on Rover made our travels much more enjoyable, because we knew our dog was getting the best care! Our dog was excited to return to Sophia's and came home calm and rested. Thank you so much Sophia! :)”
“Tanya and her whole family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pippa! She felt right at home from the moment she arrived, and they provided the best care possible. We loved receiving the photo updates Tanya sent—it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Pippa was while we were away. Thank you, Tanya, for creating such a kind and loving environment for our pup. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Pippa was safe, happy, and so well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Tracey and her family took care of my dog with so much love and attention! We started with a Day Care trial, followed by a weekend stay, and now a longer period. I felt completely relaxed while we were traveling because Tracey knows how to take care of animals. She sent photos and kept us informed about Harry's routine. Harry loves to cuddle and I feel like he has found a family that keeps him happy while we are away. I recommend her without hesitation!”
“Ivan is awesome taking care of my dog, Truffle. He sent me update pictures daily. Truffle has amazing time with lvan and his family including Sunny. She enjoys beautiful backyard and walking in the forest. Definitely recommended Ivan.”
“Apollo had a lovely time staying with Sriju! She has such a peaceful, calm spirit and a cozy home. Apollo felt comfortable right away. Sriju’s house is located on a corner with a large yard next to it and there is a playground and dog park close by. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“Xiao took very good care of Oso. Oso immediately became close with her, even during the meet and greet. Oso looked so excited to explore her home and backyard. lt was very clear Oso was loved and had a lot of fun. I will certainly book with Xiao in the future.”
“Evvery is amazing! She took such great care of my dog even in this difficult winter weather with snow and ice covering the ground, and especially giving her special care when she got a small cut on her paw. Excellent communication with both photo and video updates. Thank you again Evvery!! : )”
“I cannot recommend Dawn enough! She took care of Chewie for a full week, and from start to finish she was absolutely incredible. She sent pictures, videos, and updates multiple times a day, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me enjoy my trip knowing my pup was in the best hands. She was also wonderfully flexible when I needed to drop Chewie off earlier than planned. The moment we arrived, Chewie instantly took to her warm and loving nature—it was clear he felt safe and at home right away. Her yard is a dog’s dream: huge, fully fenced, and completely safe. Chewie had so much room to run, sniff, explore, and play—definitely more than he gets at our house! And her sweet dog Rascal deserves a special shoutout for being so patient with Chewie’s endless puppy energy and attempts to jump all over him. Chewie came home tired, happy, and already missing his home away from home. He even picked up some great habits during his stay—he learned not to run off with our toilet paper, so we can finally keep our bathroom doors open again! Dawn is truly the best. If you’re looking for someone loving, attentive, responsible, and genuinely devoted to dogs, look no further. Chewie will definitely be back! 🐾💛”
“James, Nicolette, and their children took excellent care of our nine month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Lizzy was treated as part of their loving family and had plenty of exercise and attention. My wife and I received constant updates and photos. I highly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation in the future.”
“Cooper enjoyed his time with Huan, her family, their dog and the daycare dog. She fussed over him and let me know of any concerns immediately. We also got daily pictures and videos. He came home exhausted.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our Goldendoodle, Jasper. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs, and that showed in every part of Jasper’s stay. She and her family treated Jasper with so much love, care, and attention that he truly felt like part of their family. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Jasper was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he looked so relaxed and happy. it honestly seemed like he wanted to stay there with them. That says everything about the kind of care Melissa provides. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our boy, Jasper.”
“Sean and Eve were fantastic sitters. They continually sent me pictures of Rocky and kept me up to date. They even went above and beyond and gave Rocky a bath when he got into something smelly. I appreciate the care and love they showed my dog, and would recommend them in a heartbeat.”
“Our dog loved them so much. We were worried how he will stay overnight for the first time without us. He slept well and ate timely. He was being a good boy with Gail & Kris 😊”
“Lots of pictures of Toby during the stay, he seemed happy there and get along with Zoey. Marci and Margaret responded right away, I had a good feeling after the meet and greet and decided to use them for Toby's care. If they'll have Toby again, I would use them again.”
“Monika was wonderful with Choco during his overnight stay! She kept me updated and sent me pictures, which really gave me peace of mind. Her whole family treated him so well, and Choco was very at ease, he looked just like he was at home. I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Monika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: I have had many dogs since I was a kid. My whole family have them as family members. I adopted Colby, a mini poodle, 13 years ago and he recently passed on Mar 7, 2026 due to oral cancer one month before he turned 14 yr-old. I will board ONE NON-SHEDDING dog at a time so I can spend quality time with that dog ☺️ I would love help dog owners to walk, play, and love their dogs while they cannot and get some dog love for myself. I miss my dog tremendously so I am not ready to have another. Let me take care and play with your dogs and make them happy ☺️ I work full-time remotely. I can customize my schedule to fit your needs as long as I am given a notice to adjust (I set my work schedule a week in advanced every monday). I love taking a long walk when the weather permit. 😁 Whatever your dog accustomed to, I can adjust. I live in a one bedroom condo right now. I will provide a safe and loving environment for your dog.
“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”
“We are so grateful to Pam! She treated Mikko incredibly well. And he played with toys for one of the first times (he’s a rescue and an older dog so this was amazing). His food has multiple steps to it and she was very detail oriented regarding this. Thank you again Pam!! 💌”
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for taking such great care of my sweet Kenzie this weekend 🐾💕. You were amazing—always keeping me updated, sending the cutest pictures, and being so gentle and patient with her, especially with her being blind. It really meant a lot to me to know she was safe, loved, and in such good hands. I also appreciate you letting me know about the little accident in her kennel 💦—you were so honest and attentive, and that shows just how much you care. You’re truly such a kind and loving person, and it shows in the way you treated Kenzie. I will definitely be using you again in the future! 🥰🐶 Thank you again!”

“Nothing but good things to say :) Sara was a lifesaver and was able to help us with AM and PM drop-in visits for a week, for our two cats, rather last minute. When she came to our home for the meet and greet, she’s extremely personable, kind, and attentive. Definitely helped in making our vacation worry free. We got updates and plenty of pictures daily, I appreciated the communication. The boys were well taken care of as well as our home. We’ll be using her services moving forward and highly recommend. :) Thanks Sara!”
About: I’ve taken care of a bunch of different kinds of cats with different personalities. I always find the best way to connect with a new cat is to be friendly and let them come to you once they’ve acclimated to your presence! I promise that if you hire me your cat will have a wonderful time and will be fully pampered and taken care of!
About: Hi!! I’m Michele and I live in a townhouse community in North Potomac/Gaithersburg, adjacent to the Kentlands. I have owned rescue dogs for 30 years, and I have always chosen dogs that are “hard to adopt” due to having a traumatic history, having accompanying anxiety or other behavioral challenges, and/or being a wrongly stigmatized breed. All of my dogs have been mixed breeds — a Doberman mix, a Shepherd mix, a Rottweiler mix, a Pitbull mix, a Mini Pin mix, and a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix. I have also been helping my daughter over the past two years with her growing petsitting business, which has included caring for dogs, cats, and a bearded dragon. I have spent much of my career as a consulting writer and communications specialist in the global health and international development field, and have mostly worked from home. Due to recent changes in the federal government, most U.S.-based professionals in this field lost employment in 2025, and I am taking the opportunity to branch into more entrepreneurial paths that speak to my other personal passions. I always make sure my own pets (and yours!) have plenty of exercise, water, and hugs! And of course food and any medications according to your exact instructions. I am available for care at any time of the day, as well as housesitting in your home (or my home if you prefer!) when you are away! I am also happy to care for any other pets. Thanks so much for considering me, and I hope to meet you and your best friend(s) soon!

My cat doesn’t get along with anyone. He took to her and I can say that’s is awesome. Thank you so much for the care you gave to Lucky.”
“Candice is awesome! She provides a detailed report each day along with loads of pictures. I had the peace of mind knowing my pets were being cared for while I was away. She understood the unique needs of my pets as well. Each pet home is different and Candice will care for them accordingly.”
“Took amazing care of my cats, and even helped manage my apartment flooding while I was away and unable to get home; which was way beyond anything that was ever expected of her. She was great, Even my shy cat snuggled right up to her! Can't thank her enough!!!”

“My fur baby has been going to Sophia every week for daycare since August 2023 and sometimes for boarding when we have to travel. Best decision we’ve made for our little Rue. He loves Sophia and her family and enjoys playing with his fur friends. We have even noticed little small behavioral changes in Rue for the better. He comes home happy and tired. So glad we found Sophia as a second home for Rue.”

I always make sure my dogs (and yours!) have plenty of exercise, water, and hugs! And of course food and any medications according to your exact instructions. When I walk dogs, I am conscious of allowing them to have ample time to sniff and explore, as this gives them the mental exercise they need and tires them out for good naps during the day. I also love to give dogs play time in fenced yard/areas with any balls/toys they enjoy. I am available for walks at any time of the day, as well as housesitting in your home (or my home if you prefer!) when you are away! I am also happy to care for cats and any other pets. Thanks so much for considering me, and I hope to meet you and your best friend(s) soon! I’m currently rebuilding my career from scratch and have plenty of time for pet care! The work paths that I am building will all be mostly work-from-home. I will provide long and short walks, additional exercise in fenced areas, water, food, and medications! I am forever a dog-on-the-furniture/bed person but will happily respect your wishes if you prefer not to allow that. I will also provide crate training if desired! I currently do not have dogs living with me full time, but my daughter has two dogs and can bring them to my house anytime if you would like some social time built in.

“Wenyan has been extremely responsive and accommodating for days leading up to our greyhound's first daycare experience! Her experiences and reviews really speak for themselves (and was the reason why we chose to book with her). She provided a lot of updates and photos on the day of; more importantly, our grey really liked her and was able to get along well with the other dogs there. It looked like she had a ton of fun (I don't think she cared very much that we were leaving her for the day xD ). We've already booked Wenyan again for boarding soon! Highly recommend!”

I have 10 years of experience caring for animals and always research how to best care for the animal in question. I have 2 years of experience with professional pet sitting.

About: I have consistently provided care for family, friends, and my own pets. I possess a deep affection for animals. Throughout my life, I have been an ardent animal lover. My responsibilities include feeding and walking them, as well as engaging in playtime and cuddling. I am extremely passionate about animal welfare. With over 23 years of experience in pet sitting and walking, commencing at the age of 13, I have honed my skills.

Pet care aligns seamlessly with my interests and I derive considerable satisfaction from it. I appreciate being surrounded by such endearing animals.

Typically, provide essential care encompassing sustenance, hydration, and a secure environment, supplemented by optional services such as walks, playtime, and medication administration, all delivered with respect for the pet's distinctive needs and routine.

“Jessica was so amazing with our pups, they loved her! She arrived promptly and left a very detailed description and shared many cute pictures of the dogs. We hope to book with Jessica in the future.”
“Leticia is a wonderful dog walker. We have two large, very anxious dogs, and she handles them with incredible care and confidence. Her calm and friendly presence puts them at ease, which is no small feat. She is consistently prompt, highly communicative, and truly reliable. We feel lucky to have found someone so capable and kind—our dogs absolutely adore her. Highly recommend!”

I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every dog in my care. I make sure they always have fresh water, regular bathroom breaks, plenty of exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day.

“Heidi was great with my babies. She communicated great. There was an issue with my address and it sent her to my old house. She was very understanding and went the extra mile to drive 30 minutes to my current house. You want a sitter like that. You should definitely book with Heidi.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for a few years now and decided I want to help those in need of a dog sitter and some training. I’m a nurse and work 3 days a week and looking to dog sit or walk on my days off. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can switch my days around if needed. I have an American Bully named Milo who is 10 months old. He loves meeting new dogs and is very friendly. I have a small fenced yard but I will take my puppy on walks at least 2-3 times a day. Because Milo is still a puppy having another dog will also help his energy levels.

“Tracey and her family took care of my dog with so much love and attention! We started with a Day Care trial, followed by a weekend stay, and now a longer period. I felt completely relaxed while we were traveling because Tracey knows how to take care of animals. She sent photos and kept us informed about Harry's routine.

“Evvery is amazing! She took such great care of my dog even in this difficult winter weather with snow and ice covering the ground, and especially giving her special care when she got a small cut on her paw. Excellent communication with both photo and video updates. Thank you again Evvery!! : )”
“I cannot recommend Dawn enough! She took care of Chewie for a full week, and from start to finish she was absolutely incredible. She sent pictures, videos, and updates multiple times a day, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me enjoy my trip knowing my pup was in the best hands. She was also wonderfully flexible when I needed to drop Chewie off earlier than planned. The moment we arrived, Chewie instantly took to her warm and loving nature—it was clear he felt safe and at home right away. Her yard is a dog’s dream: huge, fully fenced, and completely safe. Chewie had so much room to run, sniff, explore, and play—definitely more than he gets at our house! And her sweet dog Rascal deserves a special shoutout for being so patient with Chewie’s endless puppy energy and attempts to jump all over him. Chewie came home tired, happy, and already missing his home away from home. He even picked up some great habits during his stay—he learned not to run off with our toilet paper, so we can finally keep our bathroom doors open again! Dawn is truly the best. If you’re looking for someone loving, attentive, responsible, and genuinely devoted to dogs, look no further. Chewie will definitely be back! 🐾💛”
“James, Nicolette, and their children took excellent care of our nine month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Lizzy was treated as part of their loving family and had plenty of exercise and attention. My wife and I received constant updates and photos. I highly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation in the future.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our Goldendoodle, Jasper. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs, and that showed in every part of Jasper’s stay. She and her family treated Jasper with so much love, care, and attention that he truly felt like part of their family. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Jasper was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he looked so relaxed and happy. it honestly seemed like he wanted to stay there with them. That says everything about the kind of care Melissa provides. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our boy, Jasper.”
“Sean and Eve were fantastic sitters. They continually sent me pictures of Rocky and kept me up to date. They even went above and beyond and gave Rocky a bath when he got into something smelly. I appreciate the care and love they showed my dog, and would recommend them in a heartbeat.”
“Monika was wonderful with Choco during his overnight stay! She kept me updated and sent me pictures, which really gave me peace of mind. Her whole family treated him so well, and Choco was very at ease, he looked just like he was at home. I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Monika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for taking such great care of my sweet Kenzie this weekend 🐾💕. You were amazing—always keeping me updated, sending the cutest pictures, and being so gentle and patient with her, especially with her being blind. It really meant a lot to me to know she was safe, loved, and in such good hands. I also appreciate you letting me know about the little accident in her kennel 💦—you were so honest and attentive, and that shows just how much you care. You’re truly such a kind and loving person, and it shows in the way you treated Kenzie. I will definitely be using you again in the future! 🥰🐶 Thank you again!”
“Gisselle was fantastic and very flexible with accommodating our changing work schedules. We knew our puppy Hank was in great hands and will certainly ask Gisselle to watch him again in the future!!😊”
“Caden was great, buddy, my 9 year old border collie love him and I got updates regularly, he took great care on him and I will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend”
“Our 10 year old Golden was exhausted after a weekend at Wenyan’s but seemed well cared for. We received lots of pictures and videos which were appreciated. Being around other dogs kept him too busy to miss us.”
“Raghavi and her family were AMAZING!!! It was my first time booking a pet sitter, so I didn't really know what to expect, but I got so lucky! Raghavi let me do a little meet-and-greet before I even booked to make sure that Ryder was comfortable with her dog, which put me so at ease, and during the boarding itself, was so accommodating with Ryder's schedule (and went above and beyond by sending me lots of photos while I was away, which was such an unexpected but very nice and much appreciated surprise!) She was so easy to get in touch with, and when I needed an emergency extra couple of days covered, she was so flexible and easygoing about it. Definitely booking again!!! :)”
“Chris is an amazing dog sitter! I had such a great experience with Chris! He is so nice, friendly, and truly cares about the pets he watches. While I was on vacation, he sent me videos and photos of my dog Isabella, which gave me such peace of mind. Chris took excellent care of her, and when I picked her up she looked happy, relaxed, and refreshed. I will definitely use his services again for dog sitting — he’s amazing! Thanks again Chris!”
“Marylee (and her husband) were amazing!! I pick Rover people based on if I would want to stay with them lol!! At the meet and greet she was very thorough with her questions about the cat and dog and making sure all their needs were met. It felt like she has an understanding about the types of issues that could arise and how to deal with them. Very organized. Very attentive, warm loving people. I was sent updates and photos throughout my time away. Her yard is crazy big and beautiful and fenced in. My dog LOVED it! She was able to accommodate my daughter’s cat at the same time last minute. I felt so secure knowing they were being well taken care of while I was gone. Cat had her little cat tower and pictures of the cat by the glass door able to look outside and see everything. I am done searching for Rover people… will definitely use Marylee again. Excellent!!”
“Jason is amazing as always! We had a last minute request and he was very accommodating. This time our pup stayed with him and Jason was absolutely fantastic. Jason kept us updated with regular messages and photos, and it was clear our furry companion was comfortable and well cared for. Pickup/drop-off was smooth, communication was quick, and our pup came home happy and relaxed. We’ll definitely be booking with Jason again, and I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and professional sitter.”
“Sabina and her family have been great to Apollo! She took him on the adventures and made him happy. That definitely put a huge cheese on my face. I mean, he had so much fun with her family! She kept me updated with those photos while I was away. That’s wonderful because I wasn’t even worried too much about him with Sabina and her family. She took care of him well. He loved them since day one! Will definitely ask Sabina again in the future! She rocks!”
“Amanda was so amazing with our scaredy cat who had never stayed away from our house before! She was incredibly patient with our kitty, made her feel safe and comfortable in new surroundings, and kept me updated to ease my mind. So grateful for Amanda treating our kitty like her own!”
“Carolina was fantastic with communicating updates and taking great care of Henry! He had a blast running around and playing with her dogs. Will definitely have him stay with her again in the future!”
“Mindy did a great job communicating with us, especially since this was our first time leaving our dogs with her. Our flight was delayed and she was very understanding when we came a little late for pick up. Everyone looked happy when we picked them up!”
