“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!”
“Diego met with us for meet & greet & when we dropped off Totoro (5yo Pug; partially blind), we went over details of his stay & T’s routine. Detailed & kept us updated with frequent pics & videos, highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Tommy took great care of our pup. Our pup was well fed and given his meds on time. Tommy was kind, pretty flexible and worked with our schedule which was really a huge help to us. Thank you Tommy!”
“Mark and his family took such great care of zuki! Mark took the time to ask questions about Zuki’s routine, play style, and training behaviors that I have been working on. Appreciated all the updates and pictures. Zuki clearly had a great time and returned home happy and tired from all his fun.”
“Fantastic service, will book again! Really appreciate the excellent care and communication, and the kindness and flexibility when I needed to extend my booking because my travel schedule changed. Felt assured that my cats were safely integrated into a new temporary family and well taken care of while I was away.”
“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!”
“Stephanie and Luis did an amazing job dog sitting! Communication was great from start to finish, and they kept me updated with pictures, which really put my mind at ease. They were so welcoming and even created a special space in their home for Coco and Chloe. I’d definitely trust them and rebook again!”
“Christian was amazing! Accepted my sitting request with pretty short notice after I found out my roommate wouldn’t be able to watch my dog. She also gladly watched my dog for an extra night than was originally planned when my flight got delayed. She sent me frequent updates and pictures of my dog, and it was obvious he was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again!”
“Crystal is such a thoughtful and caring sitter! Every time I take Scooter he comes out of his shell more and more. It’s been amazing watching him blossom. I’m so grateful to have found Crystal. She is a blessing to me and my furbaby!”
“Jayla deserves more than 5 stars. She responded fast, was friendly and attentive to my Prince. I had to have emergency surgery and couldn’t care for Prince. Knowing he was being cared for helped me to be able to focus on healing. I will definitely use Jayla again”
“Lia’s communication is always on point! Charlie and I recently moved to DC and looking for a new sitter. Lia was honestly the best sitter for Charlie! She went above and beyond for Charlie even accommodated to his spoiled picky eating behavior 😂. Honestly I want to gate keep Lia but I think everyone deserves to have a sitter like her.”
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.
“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!!!”
“This was our first time leaving our “Livi” with a sitter! Abigail was TERRIFIC!!! From the moment we met, we felt that Livi would be in good hands. She surpassed our expectations! She communicated frequently and sent pictures which moreover made us more comfortable. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to use her in the future. Thanks again, Abigail!”
“Joe was such a great host for Barnaby while I was on work travel. He took Barnes on walks/runs each day, had him socialize with other dogs, and always sent me an update with pictures. Joe was very communicative, quick to respond, and flexible with pick-up / drop off. Truly the best dog watcher I've used in the city, and that's including the big chains. I'll definitely be using him again”
“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.”
“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.”
“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’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been something that comes naturally to me. As a dog and cat parent myself, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets the same care, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own. You can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are in caring and dependable hands.
“Savannah went above and beyond to care for our three cats! She fell into their rhythm and made sure each were cared for well. She understood their personalities well and this helped their care routines. She is a great communicator and kept us in the loop with any minor timings or complications that came up.”
“Delina is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Highly recommend. She is trustworthy and reliable. I always know my pets are in good hands and she will communicate if anything arises. Responsive go emails and communication, wonderful to work with”
“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!”
“Abigail was very attentive to the care note we left and provided a brief but descriptive summary of the check ins. We felt very comfortable having her take care of our kitties!”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our two kittens. They couldn’t have been in better hands with Callen. She visited our kittens three times- feeding, playing, and giving them love. Callen also administered meds to one of our kittens which was a real life saver. Also really appreciated that she came over for a pre-sitting meeting. She’s very communicative and punctual! Will definitely use again!”
“I highly recommend Mickela for your pet sitting needs. She was able to fill a super last min need for drop-ins on my two kitties while I was away for a few days. She responded quickly and was able to meet me at short notice. She was very sweet and the boys took to her immediately. She was great about cleaning up their messes (including a puke surprise left by one of them lol). This was the first time I booked a sitter to do daily drop-ins and I’m so glad I reached out to Mickela. She was such a huge help. 🤗”
“Kordell was absolutely wonderful! I was nervous to go on a long trip, but he took the extra minute every day to write a note about how my bunny was doing and to send me nice pictures. It was clear that he went the extra mile to make sure she was happy and comfortable. I would highly recommend Kordell for any pet.”
“Emma was so great with our cats while we were away! She was even able to get our shy guy out from hiding and he’s very shy with new visitors. We loved the photos and updates she sent our way and would definitely ask for her help again. Thank you!!”
“Great help, Anh really helped put my mind at ease while I was away, and helping with the dogs was a big deal. She was very attentive and reliable on time and had attention to detail. I will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend”
About: I've taken care of dogs and watched after dogs almost all of my life. From my god mother's Rottweiler, Sisters Black Lab, my best friends Boston terriers a labradodle. Your pup will be in great hands with me. I work from home so I have no issue with being in the house with your dog. My community is very pet friendly with not 1 but 2 dog parks that allows for exercise and fresh air. I work full time from home, and have a very flexible schedule. Usually while watching pets for friends I'll go for a morning walk for bathroom needs, around lunch we'll take another quick walk and game of fetch and one more walk in the evening before the sun goes down. I care for pets depending on what you as the owner recommend. For my dog nephew, we only feed him at 4pm (put food in the bowl) so that in the mornings and nights when we take him out to do his business he's good to go. I like to have a toy or bone around for them to chew on while I work, but once we go out side I make sure we're getting some fresh air for at least 30minutes to an hour.
“While I didn’t actually get to meet Edmond and Nafis, they were very easy and pleasant to work with. They were also accommodating when my trip got unexpectedly extended. I got detailed summaries of each visit and lots of pictures which always puts my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking them again in the future.”
“I (and my cat) enjoyed working with Tandy. Tandy is very communicative, attentive, and clearly expressed a joy, care, and sensitivity working with animals. Though Rover, Tandy minded my cat and fish every other day over the course of two weeks. Tandy’s Reports were detailed and this is something I further appreciated: she wasn’t afraid to ask questions.”
“Jayla has a very nice vibe about her. She followed my instructions and was always on time. I was out of the country for a week and I didn’t worry about my little kitty once. I plan to call on Jayla every time I’m away in the future. She’s EXCELLENT. I highly recommend her.”

“Thank you so much again for watching my baby 🐶. I will definitely book him again. My baby was very tired, which was a good thing. She got home and ate and went right to sleep.”
“This was my puppy’s first time at doggy daycare, and Jayla was amazing! She made me feel completely comfortable, kept me updated throughout the day, and sent plenty of photos. My pup had a great time playing and socializing with another puppy. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — highly recommend!”
“Theresa was amazing! Rosie had a great stay with her and T'Challa. Everything went perfectly, I'm so grateful that Theresa took such good care of Rosie while I visited the National Mall.”
“I brought my little senior to Denisha and I could not have been happier with the care she took with him. She has true caring for animals and she cared for my dog as well as she cared for her own dogs. They went on walks and when she noticed he was lagging, she picked up his ten pound self and carried him the rest of the way. She cues into behaviors to figure out dynamics and issues. She was just great. I loved that she took him on walks because no place I have taken him has ever put that effort into him. Please consider Denisha as a caretaker for your dog. I will definitely be going back to her.”
About: I've cared for animals my entire life, from small pets to large farm animals, and even helped on my aunt's farm growing up. My love and compassion for animals is what sets me apart. My dream is to become a veterinarian and one day open my own veterinary practice, so you can trust that your pet will be treated with the same care and attention I'd give my own. Im currently working part time at home and looking for anyway to workout during the week so I have a lot of time space and energy to run around and love your dog while being gone. My 6 month old cat has a crate available if needed, but she usually has free roam of the house since there are no other pets in the home. She's very friendly and loves small children and other animals. I give her plenty of love and attention every day, and I truly treat her like my own baby!
“I am very pleased! Thanks Diego and Coco! Diego was professional, responsive, and asked the right questions to make certain my fur baby was well taken care of. He sent me pictures and a video. I plan to use him again soon.”
“Danielle is great with Diggy. She keeps me updated during his stay and also send pictures. I truly appreciate her in taking care of my fur baby. Thank you, Danielle and you are greatly appreciated!!!”
“This was my puppy’s first time with a sitter but Christian was awesome easing his anxiety and taking great care of him. She’s very responsive, reliable , and extremely patient ! I’ll definitely be using her again.”
“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!”
“Wonderful experience! This is my first time leaving my fur baby with June and she didnt disappoint. She gave my senior pup, Snapple, plenty of cuddles and attention all day. And I absolutely love the amount of pics and videos June sent during her stay to make me feel comfortable as a dogmom :-). I highly recommend!”

About: I am great with dogs. Choose me if you want your dog to be treated like family and to get lots of exercise while you are away. I have a backyard that is fenced in, parks all around my home and we will go on lots of walks. We go on long walk in the morning and evening so your pet will get plenty of exercise and engagement with me. I currently work full time during the day with teleworking.

I prefer to have a crate available to secure your pet if I need to run an errand - I am flexible with this request. I understand crating isn’t an option for everyone.

Trusted by friends, family, and strangers to look after their fur babies whenever they are in need.

“McKinley was amazing. Our dog had a wonderful time, and was well taken care of. She communicated throughout the day, provided photos and gave our dog the attention he needed throughout the day.”
“My dog, Freddie, stayed with Joe for an afternoon while we were out in Beaufort. Joe has a great location, super convenient to downtown and a great backyard for the pups to play in. Joe made things super easy and his dog, Watson, kept Freddie busy and entertained for the afternoon. Would highly recommend Joe and Watson and hope to have Freddie stay again in the future!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been something that comes naturally to me. As a dog and cat parent myself, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate comfortably with a wider range of pet owners and ensure clear understanding of your pet's needs and care instructions. My goal is to give your pets the same care, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own. You can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work during the week, but I’m available in the evenings after 6pm for dog walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. On weekends, I have more flexibility and can offer boarding and extended care. Because I have a set work schedule, I’m able to plan ahead and make sure every pet I care for gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I truly enjoy spending my free time with animals, so pet care is something I genuinely look forward to. When your pet stays in my home, they’ll have plenty of space to relax, play, and move around comfortably. I have a friendly Labradoodle and a cat who have their own separate areas of the home, so your pet can have some company if they’re comfortable around other animals. I always respect each pet’s personality and your preferences, and I’m happy to keep pets separated or crated if that’s what makes them feel safest and most comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and welcoming home where every pet can feel comfortable while they’re away from their family.
“Michael was prompt, professional and wasn’t scared of my reactive pittie. I have never let anyone walk or take care of him without meet & greet first. I just couldn’t do that this time as I am injured.”
“Chase was great with Garland. They were walking Garland for an extended period of time while we were traveling and were timely, communicative and thoughtful. We would love to have Chase walk Garland again anytime they are available!”
“Juran was a great dog sitter. She is super communicative and takes time to get to know your pet. She even did a brief meet and greet with my dog beforehand which made him more comfortable with her. I look forward to Juran taking care of my dog again soon!”
“Natalie and Dan have been so understanding, patient and knowledgeable- which has been great for my pup who needs a little extra time to get acclimated to new people / has some reactivity and guarding tendencies. The dedication, experience and care that they bring to working with fur babies is such a gift! We love working with them!”
“Alex was great. Communication was excellent, provided pictures, and took very good care of our pups. Made being away less stressful. I do recommend him, and will use his services again.”

About: Hello there! My name is Romon, you can also call me Griz. I suppose my friends see me as the momma or papa bear of the group haha. Anyway I've been taking care of my friend's, family's, and of course personal 'furry best friends'. I have a background in personal training and fitness. Never really ran into a dog that didn't like or respect me at least after the first couple treats or games I was able to play with them. Recently lost two friends one moved away the other, Sasha; a poodle mix of 12 years, passed away I was luckily able to spend more time with her during 2020 before she had to go. Her memories are still with me and I know many are back to work and wish they could spend more time with their newest pups. We can work together to make sure they're, well taken care of, and I just wanted to help out and lessen the load of watching over these wonderful epitomes of joy and energy. I've walked, sitted, played with, slept besides, and even cleaned up after all sorts of dogs from puppyhood to very senior dogs, 10lbs to 100+lbs believe it or not, can't seem to get a break from them, which I don't mind! Lastly I hope to get to know your fuzzy yet amazing family members on a professional and even better, personal level. Feel free to message for any questions I pay very close attention to any special instructions. I've recently found great streams of income im able to maintain at home while working on my online degree Fortunately my major for the 3rd semester in a row is online only. My schedule is pretty open and flexible so I wanted to make the most of my situation and again the main thing is to help out new or out of practice pet owners. Im free at all hours of day and night outside of a select few evenings where I train clients to achieve their fitness goals. Mostly online so feel free to reach out and schedule with me if youd like recurring services. We'll make it work. Im a capable and loving pet owner that doesn't mind breaking a sweat. I would love to keep your fur baby busy AND happy whether its a small walk with portable water bowls, at home self made doggy puzzles to keep their minds sharp and busy, even if I am tired, for those longer sessions. I have access and experience to great doggy parks equipped with fencing and great walking areas, and lots of car space for those longer trips or incase of an emergency where I have to safely transfer your fluffy children quickly. I have a lot of experience to share and rely on too much to list here but go ahead and quiz me at Fanaticallymotivated email on google for those of you new or unsure of my services with the Rover service provider. I hope to work with you both and take care of any worries.

“Jayla deserves more than 5 stars. She responded fast, was friendly and attentive to my Prince. I had to have emergency surgery and couldn’t care for Prince. Knowing he was being cared for helped me to be able to focus on healing. I will definitely use Jayla 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.
“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!!!”
“Joe was such a great host for Barnaby while I was on work travel. He took Barnes on walks/runs each day, had him socialize with other dogs, and always sent me an update with pictures. Joe was very communicative, quick to respond, and flexible with pick-up / drop off. Truly the best dog watcher I've used in the city, and that's including the big chains. I'll definitely be using him again”
“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.”
“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!”
“Johnathon was an excellent sitter for Butter while we were away for the 4th o f July weekend. Looking at the pictures sent of Butter he looked like he was right at home! Butter didn't seem like he wanted to leave when we came to pick him up! I would definitely recommend Jonathan and plan on using his services again in the near future!”
“Caleb was great with my cat! He was very flexible with pickup and drop off (which was extra helpful for tricky travel days) and was super nice. Would definitely recommend him to anyone to watch their pet!”
“Sadie had a wonderful stay with Alli and her family! I am very grateful that Alli was able to accommodate our stay on such short notice with my last minute work trip. Excellent communication and very easy to work with, including a picture update each day. I could tell Sadie had a fun time with the other dogs and with Alli’s family and kids. She took such great care of Sadie, including following instructions with her two medications. Also appreciated that Alli spends the majority of her time at home with the dogs so the dogs get a lot of supervision. Definitely recommend Alli and will be using her again! Thank you for an excellent experience!”
“I had a great experience with Fabian and would highly recommend him. He took excellent care of my dog while I was away and made the entire process stress-free. He provided regular updates, including messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”
“Mariah always comes back to us happier than when she left. Haydenn is a great communicator and gives frequent pupdates. More importantly, he has a way with dogs like no other. We are so grateful to have him in ours/Mariahs life!”
“We can't rate Geneen highly enough! We boarded our dog Juniper with her twice this summer (for a weekend and for a week). She kept in regular communication and provided many photo updates. Our dog is a little quirky (a lovable weirdo) and Geneen and her husband took her quirks in stride. It was easy to see that the dogs in their care were given plenty of love and activity, and were well supervised. We wouldn't hesitate to board Juniper with Geneen again.”
“Krista and Kira are WONDERFUL! Clearly great dog lovers and were so sweet with our senior tripod. He was clearly so happy and relaxed with them and that made being away stress free! Thank you SO MUCH!”
“Caitlin was great! We scheduled a meet and greet before our pup’s stay and she was very friendly & accommodating to our schedule. During our dogs stay, she sent a daily update with a few photos & how he was doing. Great experience, 10/10 would rover with Caitlin again.”
“Very kind to us dropping off our puppy for the first time with a stranger! She sent us a lot of photos and kept us up to date on how our puppy was doing all week. So grateful for her help and responsiveness! ♥️”
