Highly-rated overnight sitters - Edmonston
“Nicole and family did an amazing job with Zack! He had such a great time that he's now exhausted 😴👍. Their kindness, responsiveness, and care were truly appreciated – thank you for making our experience so special!”
“Payton and Graham were fantastic with our dog, Indy. They have a backyard he loved playing in, but even more impressive they were able to get his halter on (he's extremely headshy) and take him on actual walks. Videos they sent showed Indy snuggling with Payton in a way he has only done with us before. Communication was excellent, and Indy clearly loved being there. Not only would we book again with Payton and Graham, I'm doing so right now!”
“Always pleased with Jeff’s care of our Marley. Jeff accepts and tolerate’s our miniature Dachshund’s quirks and personality and we are so grateful for Jeff. He is always our number one choice 😊”
“Stephanie was such a great host to my dog Bruno, she maintained communication/updates throughout the visit and was very attentive to my instructions for Bruno given he has a hard time adjusting to new places. Would definitely book with them again! -Lindsay”
“Crystal was amazing with our dog! She had great communication throughout, was super friendly, and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely work with her again!”
“Christian truly saved the day for me during a family emergency. She responded quickly, was very flexible, and took such good care of Caia. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Caia was with someone so kind and reliable. I’m very grateful and would absolutely trust her again.”
“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.”
“Amazing! My dog and I are joined at the hip and I don’t love leaving her just anywhere! Rouday was so kind and my dog took good care of him right away. His flexibility and graciousness with me almost stood out more than his professionalism and care with my dog. Highly recommend!!!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Tasha! I was headed out of town and in need of a cat sitter for my cat, Matcha. Tasha agreed to cat sit for me and I must say from the moment of our first communication, Tasha was superb! She made sure to send daily updates, which I greatly appreciated! My daughter and I are so happy we found her and we hope to use her services in the future! Thank you again Tasha!”
“Incredible! From the first moment, I knew my pup was safe and loved on. Abigail consistently communicated how he was doing and sent pictures that made my day every day! I highly recommend her services. I have booked with Rover before, but this was by far the best experience.”
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 could not be more thankful to have found Malvi and Andrej. About a week before my pup was supposed to have her first stay w them, my dad was rushed to the ER. I reached out to see if they could take her- basically immediately. Not only did they take her in, they offered to keep her an extra day when I needed to stay longer and sent regular updates and photos of my girl having tons of fun that brought me joy in a difficult moment. While their kindness is in front of mind- they also have a super safe environment, great yard, and sweet playful pup. Big thumbs up ??”
“Estela did a great job looking after Jack while I was away. She frequently sent pics and closely watched and attended to him that enabled his small tail wound to heal without wearing a cone all day. She treated Jack as one of her own.”
“My first time using this app and I lucked out. Excellent fur baby sitter, felt comfortable leaving my dog there. She was able to accomodate super last minute and for an entire week. Very friendly, great communication with updates and pictures.”
“Catie has once again exceeded my expectations. I had to leave my mom’s 18 year old dog with her, and I can confidently say that I left with peace of mind. Since Catie had already taken care of my puppy, I was confident that she would handle my mom’s older dog without any problems. She even took her for walks in a carrier, which was incredibly thoughtful. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“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.”
“Cal and Kelly went above and beyond in taking care of my dog while I was away. From the very beginning, they made me feel completely at ease with their warm communication and attention to detail. They sent daily updates, along with the most amazing videos and pictures that truly captured my dog’s happiness and comfort. I could tell they genuinely cared about her well-being and treated her like their own. Their dogs were very friendly and loving. Their dedication and love for animals are clear, and I’m so grateful for the exceptional care they provided. I would 100% recommend Cal and Kelly to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitters. They’re simply the best!”
“Austin & Majid were great Rovers for Hercules. They were very communicative and ensured Hercules was well looked after. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Mickinley was absolutely great. She was very kind, polite, and full of positive energy. She was also incredibly flexible and willing to adjust to my changing schedule, which I really appreciated. Before the booking, we scheduled a meet-and-greet, and she was happy to come to my home to meet Flash and start building a bond with him. While I was away, she took wonderful care of him and regularly sent me photos and updates, which gave me real peace of mind knowing he was happy and doing well. I would definitely recommend McKinley to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I'm very happy it was Izcali who I found. Izcali is professional and reliable providing consistent updates throughout. My cats seemed very happy to have had Izcali take care of them while I was away. I would highly recommend Izcali.”
“Lilla did an amazing job taking care of my cats. she sent lots of photos and detailed visit summaries, and even replaced my feeder ball that had broken while I was out of town. I definitely recommend her!”
“Gregg was fantastic. He’s knowledgeable about animal care, he’s super nice, and worked well with all of the instructions we left. We were just grateful to find someone to help us when our regular sitter was out, but Gregg turned out to be 10x better than we could’ve hoped for.”
“Thank you so much Megan for housesitting with Sonny this week! We were grateful for the daily updates and pictures, and knew that you two were having a great time together. Megan is a great cat sitter, and highly recommend her to anyone here on Rover. Unfortunately we’re moving out of DC and will have to start all over in our new town to find a sitter as caring, respectful, and responsive as Megan. Sonny will miss you! Thanks for everything!!”
“As opposed to how freaked out my cats typically are upon my return, they were never in better spirits! Emma went the extra mile to cope during a snowstorm, and I was extremely pleased overall. I will definitely try to book her again the next time I travel”
“Hiring Amy was the best thing we could’ve done before our vacation. She didn’t just take care of our cats, she befriended them. It was like having a family member care for them. We loved getting photos after every visit, along with a note about how they were doing. And on top of that, she’s just a SUPER nice person. It’s no wonder our animals dig her.”
“Iris was amazing! Very responsive to texts and great communication. Spent extra time with my family of fuzzes and always sent pics, along with helpful feedback. Will definitely rebook and highly recommend!”
“Your fur baby will be well looked after of with Daniela. She is very caring, thoughtful and has excellent communication and follow through. My dog fell in love with her. I was able to go out of town and feel confident that my girl was in good hands!”
“Camila is the best! Not only is she an amazing and thoughtful pet sitter, but she also takes the time to do extra things like grab packages and clean around pet areas!”
“Nicole took the best care of my 2 cats 🐈⬛ 🐈. She was super communicative and sent pictures every time she interacted with them while I was away. I had a personal hardship while I was away and it felt very reassuring that my boys were in good hands despite my own dilemma. 10/10 would recommend and use her services again. Also, my boys loved her!! 🐈⬛🐈♥️”
“Alexandra was great for our stop-in visits with the catboys while we were out of the country. She communicated well and took great care of them. Will reach out to her again in the future when we are out of town.”
“Sharmily took great care of our kitties and we loved getting lots of pictures with every update! She was very responsive to all our questions and concerns and made sure our cat got his medication.”

“Kaylynn was very observant and attentive to my Buddy’s needs. Greatly appreciated her going the extra step to ensure he was well taken care of and kept my mind at ease knowing he was in good hands Highly recommend and will use in the future. Thank you Kaylynn!”
“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.”

“Catie always takes such good care of my pup, introduces her to new dogs and experiences, and communicates proactively about general updates and any potential concerns. Bertie loves going over and comes home tired and happy.”
“Jeff is fantastic, so kind and generous and our boys always come back so happy. We never worry when we leave, because we know they are so well taken care of. When we pulled up to Jeff’s house, they started barking and getting so excited to see him. Thanks Jeff for all your help. We’re so glad we found you!”

“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.
“Amazing sitters! We never worry when our pup is in their care. They are great at taking care of all types of different personalities. Would 100% recommend if you want a safe, loving home away from home for your dog!”
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. I am very active and love taking long walks or light jogs, just like your pup! Gus is also an excellent walking buddy who is good on the leash. I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00-5:00, so it's very easy for me to pop out before work, lunchtime, it after work to take a long walk. If it helps lighten the load when packing, I havethe following items already: Extra dog beds Dog bowls including a slow feeder Toys Feel free to pack these items if course if they will make your pup happier to have their own. I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00-5:00, so it's very easy for me to pop out before work, lunchtime, it after work to take a long walk. 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.
“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!”

About: As a couple who shares a home and a deep love for animals, Devin and Precious bring a unique and heartfelt set of skills to pet sitting that truly sets us apart. Having both been raised around dogs from a young age and actively raising dogs together, we bring a lifetime of hands-on experience to every pet we care for. Beyond dogs, we also have experience with reptiles, making us comfortable and confident with a wide variety of animals.

We are natural animal lovers and whisperers, which allows us to quickly build genuine connections with your furry friend and tune into their individual needs. One of the core philosophies we live by is positive reinforcement training through treats and healthy diets. This approach builds trust between pets and their owners, encourages great behavior, and supports overall health and wellness.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Edmonston
“Izcali was wonderful! She walked our boy through the snow, sent adorable photos, and spent a bit playing with him before leaving. 🤗 He looks so happy and we're so grateful to have a kind and trustworthy dogwalker nearby!”
About: What we offer is more of a pack activity group than typical dog sitting. We are very active and do as much as possible as a small group together including pack walks, runs, trips to the park, hiking in trails, hard earned naps, and group basic training and enrichment. We aim to strike the right balance of fun and rest to avoid over or under-stimulation. As a mental health therapist with an anxious dog of my own, I am particularly attentive to dog body language, signs of discomfort, and unique personality. I empathize that it truly sucks that you can’t just text your dog to ask how they’re doing when they’re in another person’s care. My aim is for the next time you arrive at my home, your pup’s booty will wiggle and communicate it all! In the meantime, I welcome your check ins and am happy to send you plenty of pictures and detailed updates. **Note: We are not the right fit for dogs who: are not regularly socialized with other dogs, need to be the only dog in the sitter’s home, are reactive towards or guard resources from other dogs, or just generally would not find our pack playing, walking, and basic training lifestyle very fun! My own dogs are central to our daily routine and get plenty of enrichment, runs/walks/hikes, play in the yard, basic training, and post-activity rest each day. We are very active and do as much as possible as a small group together. Pickup/Drop Off Schedule: We have implemented the following schedule for drop off and pick ups to help protect our pups routine and what remains of our lives outside of doggies 🙃 M-F before 6pm Sat/Sun before 9:30am E.g. if your trip ends at 7pm on Sunday we ask that you schedule your pick up for anytime Monday before 6pm. If we are able to accommodate, flexible drop off/pick up rate for outside of those windows is $30. Doggy Drop Off Room: If we are in meetings during your drop off/pick up times, or out with the other pups, we may arrange for you to use our doggy drop off room where your dog can rest until we are back (within 0-2 hrs). For all pick up/drop offs outside of M-F before 6pm we will arrange for you to use the doggy drop off room. We’ll provide instructions for access when you book. We do not do pick ups/drop offs after 8pm. I am happy to discuss and answer any questions you may have about your specific needs! We have a fenced yard, an indoor camera, gates and human grade rooms for doggy comfort, two crates, and more leashes and toys than one pack could ever need.
“Lilla was fantastic!! Often going above and beyond to make sure our puppy had an amazing experience with her. She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures and/or video to let us know our puppy was doing well. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again whenever we need someone to walk Molly!”
“Megan is absolutely wonderful! She takes great care of our dog and always keeps us informed of how the visits go. Its so reassuring knowing that our dog is well cared for!”
“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!”
About: I’ve always lived with pets in my home and love spending time with them. Previously, I’ve helped watch my sister-in-law’s senior cat and have lots of patience with all animals. I’m currently between jobs so I’m very available to spend as much time as needed with your pets! I also love going on walks frequently throughout the day. Currently, I only live with a cat and she is quite independent. I’ve watched a few of my friend’s dogs and am able to stick to a routine for food and walks. I’m naturally a very detail-oriented person.

“Gabrielle was very responsive and they were accommodating of my wanting an initial meet/greet introduction. They let me know when they arrived and again when wrapped up the walk; gGreat service. Thank you!”
“Nicole is amazing! She treated Diesel like he was apart of her family. He went on atleast 30 minute walks which is needed for my dog. If you have dogs that are interested in other animals, Nicole knows how to regain attention from your dog and complete the walk. I will definitely be using Nicole again.”
About: I grew up with a high-energy Siberian husky and a large mutt (~80 lbs) who were both dog reactive. I learned how to handle them from as soon as I was strong enough to not get pulled into the street! I loved taking them on runs, hikes, long walks, and pretty much anything outdoors. I currently have a two-year-old golden retriever mix at home who loves people, playing, dog parks, hikes, loafing on the couch, and lots of attention (all of which I am more than happy to provide for her). I was recently laid off and am returning to school to get EMT certified soon, so I have a lot of free time to care for your dog! I have housesat for friends with smaller dogs in the past as well and would welcome the opportunity to housesit any size dog :) I am located near town center market in Riverdale Park and have a car. I'm currently in evening classes so other than that I have most weekdays free for walks at whatever time is most convenient for you. For housesitting, I would need time to attend those classes and walk my own dog but would be able to not leave your dog unattended for more than 2 hours at a time. I will be very respectful of your home and would happily attend to any plants you have as well (I enjoy gardening quite a bit). I want you and your pet to feel comfortable with me in your house. I will also send updates at whatever frequency you prefer!
About: I have experience with both cats and dogs, mostly cats, but love both dearly. I have had pets in my house ever since I was a kid and enjoy their company greatly. Taking care of animals comes to me naturally and am excited to meet all types of pets. I am happy to help play and exercise your pets as needed and instructed :) I am currently a college student so I have many times where I am either in school or studying but I know for sure Tuesdays I am free. Other days I would need some sort of heads up to see if I can fit into my schedule. For instance Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays work for me if I have a couple of days notice ahead of time. I will be sure to follow thorough instructions when it comes to having to care for your pets in your house. I understand that having a space with pets can be a handful especially when gone so I will do everything in my power to make both parties comfortable!
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’ve had two wonderful dogs since they were 10 weeks old. We’ve completed dog training classes together and I’ve learned all about pet care through them. Im currently working from home and never travel because I have a toddler son and 2 dogs, so im often available on weekends for pet care and during the week for walks I have two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and a large house for plenty of play space. I’m also experienced with picky eating dogs.
About: *** Not taking on new clients at this time (as of November 2025)***** I have over 20 years of combined experience caring for both cats and dogs of many different ages, with some specific skills around training reinforcement for dogs. Growing up, I cared for my own cat as well as cats and dogs in the neighborhood. As an adult, I have cared for both cats and dogs and done extended house-sits for clients and friends with cats. I have my own dog, named Billie, who is an 8-year-old german shepherd/lab mix. I love animals of all kinds, and love to get to know animals and help them feel safe, cared for, and joyful/playful. I am an MSW graduate student and working part-time, and have a good deal of flexibility in my schedule. I have availability throughout the day for drop-in visits and walks, and morning/ weekend/ nighttime availability as well. My home has a fenced-in yard and is very safe and comfortable for dogs. I am conscientious and clean when spending time in the homes of clients. I will take great care of your home in addition to your animal companion!
About: Through previous and most recent positions, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments through pet sitting and dog walking. My responsibilities included feeding, administering basic medications, maintaining exercise schedules, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and providing companionship and enrichment. While I work full-time, I’m available for evening care after 6 PM depending on location, along with flexible availability on my days off for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting.

“Payton and Graham were fantastic with our dog, Indy. They have a backyard he loved playing in, but even more impressive they were able to get his halter on (he's extremely headshy) and take him on actual walks. Videos they sent showed Indy snuggling with Payton in a way he has only done with us before. Communication was excellent, and Indy clearly loved being there. Not only would we book again with Payton and Graham, I'm doing so right now!”
“Christian truly saved the day for me during a family emergency. She responded quickly, was very flexible, and took such good care of Caia. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Caia was with someone so kind and reliable. I’m very grateful and would absolutely trust her again.”
“Amazing! My dog and I are joined at the hip and I don’t love leaving her just anywhere! Rouday was so kind and my dog took good care of him right away. His flexibility and graciousness with me almost stood out more than his professionalism and care with my dog. Highly recommend!!!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Tasha! I was headed out of town and in need of a cat sitter for my cat, Matcha. Tasha agreed to cat sit for me and I must say from the moment of our first communication, Tasha was superb! She made sure to send daily updates, which I greatly appreciated! My daughter and I are so happy we found her and we hope to use her services in the future! Thank you again Tasha!”
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 could not be more thankful to have found Malvi and Andrej. About a week before my pup was supposed to have her first stay w them, my dad was rushed to the ER. I reached out to see if they could take her- basically immediately. Not only did they take her in, they offered to keep her an extra day when I needed to stay longer and sent regular updates and photos of my girl having tons of fun that brought me joy in a difficult moment. While their kindness is in front of mind- they also have a super safe environment, great yard, and sweet playful pup. Big thumbs up ??”
“Catie has once again exceeded my expectations. I had to leave my mom’s 18 year old dog with her, and I can confidently say that I left with peace of mind. Since Catie had already taken care of my puppy, I was confident that she would handle my mom’s older dog without any problems. She even took her for walks in a carrier, which was incredibly thoughtful. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Cal and Kelly went above and beyond in taking care of my dog while I was away. From the very beginning, they made me feel completely at ease with their warm communication and attention to detail. They sent daily updates, along with the most amazing videos and pictures that truly captured my dog’s happiness and comfort. I could tell they genuinely cared about her well-being and treated her like their own. Their dogs were very friendly and loving. Their dedication and love for animals are clear, and I’m so grateful for the exceptional care they provided. I would 100% recommend Cal and Kelly to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitters. They’re simply the best!”
“Austin & Majid were great Rovers for Hercules. They were very communicative and ensured Hercules was well looked after. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Mickinley was absolutely great. She was very kind, polite, and full of positive energy. She was also incredibly flexible and willing to adjust to my changing schedule, which I really appreciated. Before the booking, we scheduled a meet-and-greet, and she was happy to come to my home to meet Flash and start building a bond with him. While I was away, she took wonderful care of him and regularly sent me photos and updates, which gave me real peace of mind knowing he was happy and doing well. I would definitely recommend McKinley to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Jenna took great care of Cabby, sending lots of pictures and updates on how she was doing! We knew she was in good hands and well taken care of and would definitely have her stay with Jenna again.”
“Natalia and Edward were wonderful with my dog, Olly! From the start, they were kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Olly in their care. Throughout the week, they sent me regular updates and lots of cute pictures, which I really appreciated, it was so nice to see how happy he looked. They clearly took great care of him and made sure he got plenty of attention and love. When I picked him up, he was calm, content, and clearly had a great time. I’m so grateful for the care they gave him and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend Natalia and Edward to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters!”
“Haydenn was super responsive and wonderful with our 10 year old dog, Fern. We had to make a change in our plans at the last minute, and he was very accommodating. We would definitely use him again in the future!”
“I believe Simba had a better New Year celebration with Christin, James and friends then I did and I had an awesome New Years! Simba, has found his home-away-from-Home❤️. I will definitely call Christin and James every time I need a sitter!”
“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.”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Joe was great—easy-going and accomodating. My dog had a great time with Joe and two other dogs! He messaged me updates and photos during the 7 days away from our dog, which was very reassuring. Joe even took my dog on a 5 mile run! Will definately book with Joe again. This was the first time using Rover.com, and I highly recommend. I also highly recommend your dog stay with JOE!”
“Melanie was great! Easy meet and greet to introduce DJ to his other furry friends for the weekend and the hand off was as smooth as I could have asked for! I got plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay so I knew DJ was in good hands.”
“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!!!”
