“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“OMG Brian's house is the BEST! Huge is usually pretty shell-shocked to be left behind. But this time was different. When we got to the house, Hugo jauntily walked right up to the right place, stopped to pee on a bush, and cruised right on in like he owned the place. I've never seen him so immediately at home in a strange house. He briefly greeted Bob and then explored. It was amazing. Brian has a very laid-back, positive vibe that transmits to people and to dogs. He is also very good at judging personalities and knowing how much affection and attention a dog is going to need. I hope he always has room for Hugo whenever we travel to DC!”
“Stephanie and Luis were great with my dog, Shipley. I felt like I picked the best possible spot for him to stay while I was out of town. I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“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”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”
“Diego you did a great job taking care of my baby. Thank you!! And I appreciate kept me updated for his whole staying! Would definitely look for you for boarding my dog 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!”
“Lia was highly responsive, helped us out in a bind on short notice, was incredibly accommodating, sent several helpful updates, sent a lot of cute and reassuring photos and gave me a sense of ease immediately. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Serena was so easy to book and she responded to all texts very promptly. She and Jake took very good care of our Ellie. We would definitely ask them to puppy-sit again!”
“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”
“Rae took great care of Jesse for a week. She has lots Of toys and activities for the busy pet. I’m so glad my dog also got to enjoy a vacation. I would rebook with Rae.”
“Very reliable. Melonie did outstanding in caring for Fitz. She made sure i see pictures daily. She became a 2nd Mom to Fitz; no adjustment needed when we dropped him off and he was happy and content when we picked him up. He’s normally anxious in change of environment but he really felt a home with Melonie and her household. No issues at all in our previous and current visits.”
“Tamara was fantastic! Hands down the best sitter I’ve had. I boarded my little guy with her for about 4 days. She sent me pictures and videos and kept me updated throughout on how he was doing. It really put me at ease and let me know he was in great hands. I would 100%recommend.”
“Terez watched Reese for us during a quick weekend getaway. She was very flexible with our schedule in accommodating a pick up and drop off for us since we lived so conveniently close. Reese felt right at home with her. We will definitely use Terez again!”
“Alli and her family took care of Cielo when our sitter canceled at the last minute. They were great! Alli was very responsive and sent daily updates on Cielo, which was just the right frequency for us.”
“I can’t recommend Zulu enough! She took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She was so attentive and sent updates, making sure my furry baby felt happy and comfortable the entire time. I’ll definitely reach out to her again the next time I need a sitter.”

“Kayli is not only an incredibly kind human, she is more thorough than I’ve experienced asking so many different questions upfront so she can provide the best experience to (in my case) the boys as possible. Despite dealing with old home mayhem, she persisted and managed to give my boys an Auntie experience. They weren’t even waiting for me at the door when I got home which… stung but tells me they had so much fun with Kayli.”
“Savannah took such great care of my cat Zena while I was away on travel. She sent so many pictures and updates, and followed all my care instructions, it gave me peace of mind. Was very happy to see Zena so well taken care of. Will definitely book Savannah again for future sittings!”
“Heather did a wonderful job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She showed up on time, spent time playing with her, and made sure she was properly fed and taken care of. I also appreciated her thoughtful updates and photos!”
“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. 🤗”
“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!”
“Jada And Nazir are two amazing people. They were very personable and communicated effectively. I booked them for drop in services and they were on time and thorough.”
“Kalani took great care of my very active cat and my sensitive cat. She was communicative and sent regular updates and photos. I would not hesitate to ask Kalani to watch them again!”
“Shekyira was a god send. She took love and care of two of our cats, one who just had kittens. Communication was swift and she was great with updates me of how our new mamma was doing. Great Hire!”

I can easily crate your pet if necessary and have a super shy dog that won’t bother yours at all. We have plenty of things to keep your pet entertained including a splash pad and plenty of toys
“Melissa is amazing!! I found her last minute before the Thanksgiving holiday, she was able to drop in on my cat twice a day for feedings and to administer insulin shots as he is diabetic. Melissa came to meet me and King for a meet and greet and she could not have been nicer, set me right at ease. She was always on time, asked questions when she needed, and took great photos of him while I was away. I felt really taken care of and will definitely be asking to use her service again!”
About: I have extensive experience in caring for both cats and dogs. I have a rescue Bombay cat named Mojo, who unfortunately has FIC (Feline Idiopathic Cystitis). However, this has made me proficient in administering medication to animals and monitoring them closely! Additionally, I grew up with many Pit Bulls in my childhood home. This has given me the ability to handle larger animals effectively. I actively volunteer at local shelters in my free time as well. I aim to create safe yet homely environments to ensure optimal well-being for every furry friend under my care. I am currently on summer break from college, granting me open availability. With no constraints on my schedule, I can provide round-the-clock attention and care to furry companions. Whether it's early morning walks, midday playtime, or late-night cuddles, I am fully committed to catering to the individual needs and preferences of each animal under my care. I provide a fenced backyard for safe playtime and a separate room for restful sleep. With the presence of my friendly cat, Mojo, companionship and socialization are encouraged. Animals are free to roam, including my room if comfortable.
“Amy took great care of our cats while we were out of town. It was very reassuring to get updates after each visit. We came home to happy cats. We would definitely book Amy in the future.”
“Jasmine was very professional and an excellent caretaker for Luna. She followed my exact care instructions and provided constant updates to make sure I knew Luna was comfortable. I highly recommend hiring Jasmine to watch your pet!”
“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.”
About: I love all the dogs. I enjoy playing with them and taking walks. I love long hiking in the parks where me and dogs can be closer to nature. I have always met only great dogs. They all have different personalities and this is something that requires patience and understanding to allow the dog connect with me. However, as big or small the dog can be, it has no difference for me. In my life I had only one time dog biting me and it was when I was a child and was running through the neighbor's property and the dog did his duty and started running after me. He scratched my left leg with his teeth, but it was more of a gentle warning, than a bite. Dogs listen to me very well. Sometimes I get surprised myself how well they respond to me. This is something I would enjoy doing with all my heart Dogs are amazing creatures! Thank you, Oksana

“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 had a dog named Buddy that I loved deeply for 16 years. Buddy passed away two years ago and it has been difficult moving on without him.I am looking for opportunities to dogsit for companionship and an excuse to be more active. I have dogsat for family many times and have experience caring for a range of ages and breeds. I am most familiar with caring for senior dogs. I work fully remote and will be able to be with your baby throughout the day. Please consider me you new sitter! Pet care fits into my daily routine, since I work from home, I’m able to take care of the dog during the day and night. I typically wake up pretty early and keep a regimented schedule throughout the day. I make sure the dog is walked. I make sure that I spend a little time playing with them if they’re older dogs and I spend a little time rubbing them or petting them. Some dogs don’t like all of that so you really have to pay attention to what type of dog you’re getting. Luckily I love all dogs so it’s all fun for me.

“Max provides excellent care. Our puppy responded so well in meeting Max putting both our puppy and us at ease. Our puppy also benefited from the opportunity to be socialized with another puppy. We highly recommend the professionalism and care that Max provides.”
About: I've been a dog person my whole life. Our family has shared our home with everything from standard poodles to an American Eskimo, so I've handled big personalities, high-maintenance coats, smart dogs who need a job, and gentle seniors who need patience and a soft place to land. We recently lost our beloved standard poodle, and while we're not ready for another dog of our own yet, we have a lot of love with nowhere to go. We'd be thrilled to pour it into yours. Your dog will be our only pet, which means undivided attention: no competing for the couch, the yard, or the treats. Speaking of the yard, it's fully enclosed, so there's plenty of room to sniff, play, and stretch out safely, and we're an easy walk from a nearby park for longer outings. Our home also includes a dog-adoring 7-year-old who has grown up around dogs and knows how to be calm and respectful with them, and all interactions are supervised. By day I run a national nonprofit (from our home), so I'm organized, responsive, and used to being trusted with things that matter to other people. You'll get prompt replies, photo updates, and a sitter who actually follows your instructions, whether that's a medication schedule, a specific feeding routine, or a nightly belly rub quota. I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. My day has a natural rhythm that suits most dogs: a morning walk or yard time before I start work, a midday break for a potty trip and some play, and a longer walk to the park in the late afternoon once the workday winds down. In between, your dog is welcome to nap at my feet, keep an eye on the squirrels from the window, or supervise my Zoom calls. Evenings and weekends are family time, which means more play, more attention, and more couch cuddles. I'm happy to follow your dog's existing schedule for meals, medications, and bedtime, since I know routine is what helps most dogs settle into a new place quickly. Your dog's safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a fully enclosed yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and we're a short walk from several parks for longer outings, always on leash unless you've told me otherwise. I do a quick check of gates and latches before every outing, and dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside, your dog has the run of our home and is welcome on the furniture unless you'd prefer they stay off. We've never crated our own dogs, but if a crate is what makes your pup feel safe and settled, I'm happy to use one. Just bring it along with their bed, food, and anything else that smells like home.

“We needed someone to look after our dog Archie for the day while we went to an event. We were going for the whole day and wouldn't be returning until the eveing so we didn't want to leave Archie alone for that long. Our usual dog sitter wasn't available on that day so I contacted Brian and another pet sitter on Rover to see if either one could look after him instead. It was a bit last minute (3 days notice) which was my fault for not trying to sort something sooner. The other person didn't even respond to my enquiry but Brian immediately did and said he was available. I made the necessary booking arrangements and Brian was felixable with drop off and pick up times if we needed to nudge them in case of traffic or whatever (we were an hour away). On the day we got sent pictures of Archie and I could see he was having a good time and felt comfortable with Brian in his home and with his dogs. I can definitely recommend Brian to anyone looking for a dog sitter and was so thankful he was able to take Archie at short notice. Communication was prompt and the pictures he sent reassured us that Archie was doing well. Thank you Brian!”
“Nisha was great when she greeted us at the door. Immediately Bash saw the other dogs and got so excited. Nisha kept me informed on Bash’s progress all day with pictures. Love how she was so on point. I’ll definitely will be using Nisha again.”
About: I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether they enjoy long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship.

I currently have an American Staffordshire Terrier (AmStaff) and have had several dogs throughout my life, so I understand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that come with caring for a dog.

About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.

“We loved Kalani soooooo much! Our dog, Maro, literally refused to switch to another walker after spending a few weeks with her while our regular walker was away, he adores her that much — we’re hoping he will reconsider now that she’s moving out of our area! She is amazing with dogs, super attentive and caring, and with pet parents she is perfectly professional, communicative, and reliable. 13/10 would recommend for any pet-related service!”

I grew up with dogs for most of my life and had the opportunity to care for and dog-sit my own dog, Angel, who was a very special part of my family.

I’m also a proud cat mom to two cats, Daisy and Tulip, who I’ve cared for over the past three years. My experience with them has taught me just how different every animal can be and how important it is to respect their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, cuddles, companionship, or simply someone patient and dependable while you’re away, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet as an individual and would give them the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own pets. I work from home, so I am able to walk dogs everyday when I am able to move from my computer after completing my task. My home is available to all furry animals. My apartment complex are pet friendly and has a dog park in the area where I am able to allow them to play and have fun!

Getting to take care of animals simply is one of the most rewarding things around. Dogs are always so giving towards us, so I believe that it is my duty to give back to them whenever possible! Dogs have certainly done so much for my life and I simply want to make sure they have all the love and kindness they need to thrive. Getting to meet new dogs and help people out all at once is a dream come true for me! Although I’ll be the primary caregiver for your dog, my home is full of puppy love! I currently live with my significant other, and they are a huge dog lover! They’ve had dogs for their whole life and is always happy to bring a new pup into the mix. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Perhaps the best thing about me as a sitter is that I’m a full-time dog lover! I am home every day except for Thursday which means that your pup will have all the love and attention that they need. No one likes to keep their pooch cooped up in a kennel all day, so I make sure that they can roam free and clear as they please! As I’m home all day except for Thursday, I’m the perfect fit for dogs that are used to having their human around them during the day--or for ones that could benefit from that! If you can't afford my prices I can work with you on the price you can afford it's no problem. As a pet sitter, your routine might look something like this: - **Morning:** Arrive to feed the pets, take them for a walk, and handle any bathroom breaks. - **Midday:** Check in again for a short visit, playtime, or a quick walk, depending on the pet’s needs. - **Evening:** Return to feed the pets again, provide companionship, and handle any additional exercise or bathroom breaks. I care for parts in my home all my clients home by making sure they're safe to have the food and taking them for walks and playing with their toys with them everyday.

“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“OMG Brian's house is the BEST! Huge is usually pretty shell-shocked to be left behind. But this time was different. When we got to the house, Hugo jauntily walked right up to the right place, stopped to pee on a bush, and cruised right on in like he owned the place. I've never seen him so immediately at home in a strange house. He briefly greeted Bob and then explored. It was amazing. Brian has a very laid-back, positive vibe that transmits to people and to dogs. He is also very good at judging personalities and knowing how much affection and attention a dog is going to need. I hope he always has room for Hugo whenever we travel to DC!”
“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”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”
“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!”
“Serena was so easy to book and she responded to all texts very promptly. She and Jake took very good care of our Ellie. We would definitely ask them to puppy-sit again!”
“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”
“Very reliable. Melonie did outstanding in caring for Fitz. She made sure i see pictures daily. She became a 2nd Mom to Fitz; no adjustment needed when we dropped him off and he was happy and content when we picked him up. He’s normally anxious in change of environment but he really felt a home with Melonie and her household. No issues at all in our previous and current visits.”
“Terez watched Reese for us during a quick weekend getaway. She was very flexible with our schedule in accommodating a pick up and drop off for us since we lived so conveniently close. Reese felt right at home with her. We will definitely use Terez again!”
“Alli and her family took care of Cielo when our sitter canceled at the last minute. They were great! Alli was very responsive and sent daily updates on Cielo, which was just the right frequency for us.”
“Julie is without a doubt the very best. Her kindness, care and understanding of Mojo’s needs was 2nd to none. My dog is now a 6 year old Havadoodle with significant separation issues. He took to Julie immediately on our first meet up and was happy to spend the week with her during my travels. I am so grateful for her many updates throughout each day, with photos that proved Mojo was happy to be in her care. If there was a 10 star review permitted, I would happily give Julie this rating without hesitation. Except for of course the dates that Mojo needs her !”
“Melissa was fantastic. It was our first time using Rover, and she turned us into believers. She took Otto to a dog park, sent photos, and it was clear that Otto was happy with her. I would use Melissa again, and recommend her to anyone. ”
“Nina and Chris were so awesome with our dog Mischa while we were out of town for five nights!! They set up a meet and greet prior to Mischa’s stay, sent daily photo updates during her stay, and were flexible and communicative throughout which was so greatly appreciated while we were away. It was evident Mischa was in great hands! Mischa will be staying with Nina and Chris again very soon and we would highly recommend them!!”
“Aaron & Tia took great care of my Frenchie Bella. She had an initial knee injury that required crate rest and very limited activity and their willingness to accommodate our needs at the last minute for an extended (18 day) stay was beyond amazing. After the meet and greet with Aaron and their amazing soon I felt even more at ease. Prior to her stay, Bella was stung in the eye and was required eye drops in addition to the knee injury. Aaron wasn't phased by the additional special needs. While on travel in Asia, I received almost daily pics and a video. I could tell she was having a great time. She also needed to lose a few pounds to help with her knee injury and Aaron and Tia returned Bella in tip top shape and a few pounds lighter. She is off of her pain meds for her knee and her eye is healed. I can't thank them enough. When I met with them they only had a few reviews and I wasn't deterred. This is proof that the # of reviews does not determine the type of love and care your pup receives. I will be using their services again and again very soon.”
“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.”
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.
“Jenna was an absolutely fantastic Rover choice for my dog. She was exceptional at caring for her and was superb at letting me know how my dog was doing throughout the time she was with Jenna. If you are able to book with Jenna as an option, then you will be more than happy with the choice.”
“David and Armando were fantastic dog sitters. Our girl had such a wonderful time there with them. And we loved the communication and photos we received. It really put us at ease to see that she was having such a great time while we were away. In fact, I’m pretty sure she’d go back right now if she could!”
