“Sarah is incredible, and our dog adores her (and her cold tile kitchen floor after the walks they take!). Thank you for once again providing such great care for our big guy. I highly recommend her services!”
“Maria has been wonderful with Ruby, our 1yo 70-lb rescue mutt. Ruby is always super excited to go there, for daycare or for boarding too, and wags her tail like crazy as we approach the front door. Maria is really affectionate and gives the dogs personalized attention, does a lot of work on basic behavior training, and her own dog has been a great role model! Highly recommended.”
“Alison is a wonderful dog sitter and our pups feel comfortable at her home. We highly recommend Alison's dog sitting services. She communicates quickly and keeps you updated about your pets while they are at her home.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Thomasena is absolutely amazing, and her daughter Robin is just as wonderful. They took such loving care of our fur baby while we were away, and it truly felt like he was part of their family. When we picked him up, he was so relaxed and happy—it was clear he had been in great hands. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being cared for with so much affection. Definitely will book Thomasena every time we go away. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Khadija is fantastic! She is super easy to arrange pick up and drop off with, and very communicative which eased my mind. I’d never left my dog with anyone before, so I was terrified. But, Khadija was warm and loving. My dog absolutely fell in love with her!”
“Cal & Kelly were wonderful! They sent multiple photos and videos daily. This was our first time leaving our dog alone while we went on vacation but we felt very comfortable with him in their hands. Our dog had an especially great time playing with Lilo and Nero! We look forward to keeping our pup there again soon.”
“Stephanie is great! My dog had a great weekend with her and she had so much fun in the backyard! Stephanie sent lots of photo updates and was quick to respond. Highly recommend!!”
“We were so fortunate to have Sharon watch over our dog, Beanie for a third time! Beanie stayed with Sharon for over a week while we traveled overseas. Sharon provided us with a peace of mind with how loving she has always been towards her, following her care instructions and also with how communicative she was whenever we reached out. It is evident that Sharon has had a lot of experience with dogs and she will take care of your baby as she does her own, four dogs! Sharon, thank you for watching over our baby. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing she was with you!”
“Our pup had an incredible doggy sleepover at Jordan’s! We could tell from her multiple photos and updates and how wiggly our dogs tail was when we picked up him that he was well cared for. 10/10 would recommend and book her again!”
“Melanie is great! This was our second stay with her and her family. She responds quickly and scheduling is a breeze. She also makes sure to send lots of photos. Your pups are in good hands with Melanie and her family.”
“Rebecca took really good care of Nikko! She went beyond to get him food when I didn't give her enough for his stay. I didn't worry once while I was away because I knew she would treat him like her own. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur baby!”
“As always -- nothing but top-notch TLC for Ella when she stays with Alex and Daniel! We couldn't be luckier to be able to rely on them to keep our girl happy, healthy, and loved while we're away.”
“Connie was a great host for Indie. She’s very responsive to communication and made sure she understands what Indie needs. She has a warm and loving home with younger children who seemed excited to have a dog visit. Indie quickly integrated herself into the family and was comfortable.”
“Masha is incredible!! She was extremely sweet and loving with my cavapoo. She is also very communicative. We got great pictures each day while away on vacation. I highly recommend her!”
“Our dog always has such a wonderful experience with Juliet! Our Cavapoo stayed overnight and it was clear from the moment we picked him up that he had been incredibly well cared for—he was so happy and relaxed. Juliet is terrific, attentive, and communicated with us throughout the entire stay, and we especially appreciated the updates and photos. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs since i was 11. My first job was a dog walker/sitter but i just liked being able to play with pets. Overtime that evolved into me taking care of my friends’ pets (cats, dogs, birds, fish, plants…) when they went out of town. I set and stick to schedules so they get the timely care and attention they need. I also send texts/facetime/pictures updates to pet owners I work from home full time with minimal meetings so i can take lots of breaks to drop-in, house sit, play, walk and feed. There are currently no time restrictions on my end so your pet can have the attention they need! If boarding in my home, i have toys and a pet area. There are no hazardous materials (hard corners, noises, cleaning products) or food laying around. I also have an open floor plan so they wouldn’t be cramped and bored.
“Second time working with Azucena. Andy was so excited when we pulled up to her building and he jumped right out of the car to run up and say hello to her - behaviors we have not seen from him before. It was such a a comfort to know that he was looking forward to his time with Azucena and her daughter. He can't wait to play again!!”

“Michael cat sat for my two girls for the first time and it was a great experience! He was very communicative while we were out of town and quick to respond if we had any questions. While our cats were happy to see us return, it was clear they received plenty of love and attention while we were away.”
“This is my second time hiring Khadija and the experience was just as great as the first time. She was flexible with picking up the keys, sent photos of my cat, and overall just went above and beyond. So great to have a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Anton was great with our cat Benji! Very responsive, attentive, and went the extra mile when helpful (like cleaning whole litter box instead of scooping when dirty or having a late night visit when his schedule changed). We’ll book with him again. :)”
“Teffni’s been a responsible and caring sitter throughout the 3 weeks stint with our cat. She’s punctual, responsive and meticulously handled the duties of looking after our cat well. Will definitely consider her for future sitting needs and recommend her services to anyone.”
“Rebecca did great with our cats! She was so patient and kind with our shy kitty who also needs medicine, and was able to troubleshoot administration when things didn't go exactly to plan. Our girls will be excited to see her again in the future ❤️”
“Ashley did an amazing job caring for our cat. She provided detailed daily updates and pictures of our cat during her visits. We appreciated the consistent communication and felt she was very reliable. Ashley was also flexible with scheduling - we had to shorten our trip at the beginning and she was accommodating and came instead an extra time throughout the time we were gone. We can tell she had a gentle and caring approach with our cat, and understood what the cat needed. We’re grateful for it all!”
“Samuel was a wonderful sitter! He was very attentive and responsible, he sent great summaries and pictures, and was flexible when fitting me in last minute. My rambunctious kitty had a great with him!”
“Drew was great with our kitties! They were happy and well cared for. Drew was always excellent with communication, and he even went above and beyond in care by making sure everything was very clean in the process (without needing to even be asked). We are very happy with the service he provided and we will definitely book again in the future!”
“LL was great when I needed help with my cat Viola while I was out of town. I received daily updates about how Viola was doing and LL was super reliable with taking care of her.”
“Michael is always a pleasure to book with. He’s very responsive and takes really good care of my three cats. He communicates very well and takes the cutest pictures of my girls. If you want someone who can follow instructions, ask great questions and treat your pets with kindness book with Michael.”
“Marika is the best. She takes great care of our older cat, and she always provides fun updates. In the past we even had a weather emergency at our house and Marika sent pictures and provided info for us until we could return. She’s not only dependable, but the animals love her too!”
“Lo went above and beyond to care for our cat while we were away. We’ve booked her multiple times and are always grateful for her thoughtful communication and attentive care.”
“Janis was wonderful! She was able to successfully give my elderly cat medicine every day and took great care of both my cats. She’s very kind and I would 100% rebook for future trips”
“Sarah was amazing with Miso! Dropped by every day and gave my sweet girl all the attention she deserved. She also took some amazing pictures of her to send to me! Will definitely book again next time I’m out of town. Thanks Sarah 🫶🏽”
“Joe was excellent with taking care of our cat on our 4 day long trip. He was punctual and diligent with his daily reports that always included detailed descriptions and great photos. When we came back home I could tell that she had been under great care and she may have even missed him. Wonderful job!”
“Meredith was terrific! One of our kitties had come home from the hospital the week before Meredith’s visit and required close care and medication four times a day. Meredith was patient and caring and took excellent care of our recovering kitty, along with our other cat and dog. The house was neat and clean when we got back. Meredith made it possible for us to go away and have an stress-free weekend. I highly recommend her and would be thrilled to have her back any time!”

“My pup Kodi goes to doggy daycare with Ming and his team. He runs to their door every morning, wagging his tail waiting to go in. I get daily updates with photos and/or texts, and so get to see how much fun he is having while I am at work. The house is a little doggy retreat, with lots of places for pups to rest and a nice backyard to play in. Kodi has a great time and comes home tired from a fun filled day.”
“Mei regularly cares for my older dog Bear and she does a fantastic job. She takes him on walks and I feel confident that he will have a wonderful day in her care. I highly recommend Mei!”
“Cal and Kelly are great! They sent tons of updates during the day and my pup had a blast! She came home all tired out and we will definitely be going back 😁”
“Paul was great. My dog is anxious around new people, especially men, and Paul was patient with her and helped her get comfortable. He also took her on long walks which she needs because she has a lot of energy so I appreciated how tired she was when we got home.”
“Sharon took great care of my dog, Beanie! We have been with Sharon for the past 3 years now and she has been awesome with day care and overnight care. Thank you Sharon!!”
“Maria was amazing with my anxious dog! My pup has never been to daycare or boarding before and Maria was very patient and communicative with me and my pup—I received photos and updates throughout the whole day. She clearly knows dogs well and is able to expertly navigate dogs with all different needs. I will definitely book with Maria again!”
“Jeramy is amazing! She is so patient and loving with our girl and her dog Henry is so sweet. What a relief to have someone who is kind and dependable to watch our dog. Highly recommend!!!”
“My dog is very happy at Natalia's and with the company of other dogs there. She is happily going to Natalia, which is the biggest sign for me that Natalia's place is a good environment for dogs.”

We will ensure nothing is around that will harm the animal whether it is cables, shoes, food, etc. we will always be around to ensure your pet is taken care of and in good health.
“Maria was so great with our rescue pup! We were nervous to leave our pup with a new sitter but she kept us up to date all day. Maris was a strong communicator and very thoughtful. Would recommend her if you need a dog sitter who really cares about dogs and cats and their well being!”
About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** **For house sitting you must be ok with my dog Buddy coming with me and staying at your house as well.** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.
“Wow - Maria is sooo understanding! The clocks at work were not changed for daylight savings, so I was an hour late for an already late pick up. Maria was very kind and understanding. It really makes me feel great to know they are always looking out for Sparky, and now for me as well!”
“Precious and Devin were absolutely great hosts!! They kept me informed and made sure to communicate with me throughout the day! I really appreciate how warm and welcoming they were and the excitement that had in hanging with Bernard for the day! I could tell he enjoyed himself!! Highly recommend booking with them and will continue to do for future stays!”

“Gio was an excellent dog walker. She helped me when my current dog walker could not continue walking buddy. She reported all the details of the visit efficiently and gave us peace of mind. She was informative and responsible. This was my first time using rover and I had a great experience thanks to Gio. She has a true love for dogs and what she does. I will definitely work with her in the future.”
“Azucena was amazing with our Yorkie Amelia!!!! She was very kind and had a lot of patience with her as she is a little unsure around strangers. She took her for walkies and let her sniff to her hearts desire, gave her medication, wiped her paws to remove the harsh snow melt, and was excellent at keeping us updated. We are so glad we found her!!!!”
“Teffni was great! She was always on time, friendly, and my dog Chai was so comfortable with her. Chai was always excited to go with Teffni and always came back good and tired out.”
“Jonathan was great with our recently adopted dog that gave him a hard time. He was calm, patient and adapted to the situation as needed, communicating well along the way.”
“Marina is the sweetest and leaves the most in depth and adorable walk cards/updates for my fur baby! Cru recognizes Marina now and does her full routine with her - such a great Walker!”
“Denisse has been fantastic with our older dog! Very responsive and super accommodating. Our 50lb dog needs to be carried up/down the stairs and she handles that without issue and provides plenty of pictures, updates, and even gives our dog cookies.”
“Melissa was great! We needed her to come on short notice since our regular walker canceled last min. and she was happy to help. She took good care of our high energy 12 week old puppy, TJ, on his walk, asked about our training strategy and did her best to follow it in-spite a difficult day since our puppy is not a fan of the rain. We would love to have her walk TJ in future as well.”
“I will book with Nailah 10 times out of 10. She is consistent with communication, very kind and caring, and professional. Nailah walks my dog about 6-8 times a month. I know Ivy loves the walks!”
“Larquana was awesome with our high energy dog Milo. She was timely, sent me updates and photos of Milo looking extremely happy during their time together, and ensured to put all of Milo’s items back in their place which was very helpful and sweet. We will definitely be calling Larquana again.”
“Our pup loved having Anton visit and walk her while we were out of town! We also had a neighbor drop things off which he brought inside for us. We will definitely have him help us again with our pup. Thank you, Anton!”
“We had such great luck with Jennifer walking our giant girl! She handled our Irish Wolfhound's excitement so well and was comfortable using commands to try and wrangle her. We would definitely use her services in the future!”
“Marika is the best! She shows up when she says she will and has even been flexible with small last minute time adjustments, when possible. She is gentle and sweet with my initially shy guy, Hank, who warmed up to her in no time and clearly loves her! She always sends adorable photos, is a great communicator, and I feel extremely lucky to have someone I feel confident will take great care of the love of my life while I’m at work. (:”
“Mary is a wonderful dog walker and a super professional person! She is always willing to help out if I need extra care for my dogs, and she does so well with my fur babies! 5/5 stars I would recommend her to all who consider her.”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life, and started taking care of my own very young. I have a kitty who is 5 years old now and he is my baby.! I’ve been in horse care for about 7 years, as well as watching and caring for other barn animals. Have had dogs in the family and dog/cat sat for friends my whole life as well! Currently have full availability, am open for walks anytime for what fits your routine, and sitting when they need some extra care. I can work with you and your schedule for weekdays for my availability. I know how important it is to see that your pet family has attention when you may have a busy life! I am with my cat a lot, and keep him on a good feeding routine and have outside time everyday. He is mainly indoor, so I have understanding of protecting your animals in the home as well as needing playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Every human and pet friend alike are different! I would love to know any/all of yours and your pets needs to support my best care and attention
About: I started sitting in earnest four years ago, but grew up with my own dogs and often babysat for friends and family in high school and college. I’ve cared for Greyhounds, Border Collies, Shihtzus, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, APBTs, one Mastiff, one Akita, one senior German Shpeherd, and one Border Terrier/Shihtzu puppy. I’m a teaching artist, so my fluctuating schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own dogs, but the long periods of remote work and time between gigs means I have very flexible availability and can fill the hole in my heart by being a reliable, loving sitter for others. I really cherish any opportunity to spend time with any pups and look forward to meeting yours! I’m between gigs at the moment, so save some odd appointments, I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening drop in walks, daytime sitting, or longer overnight stays and in-home sitting. I always prefer to take a walk with pet parents leading when I first meet new dogs to get a sense of what they’re used to. For multi-day sitting, I always follow whatever norms you set in your home to make sure training stays consistent and there’s no confusion that may create anxiety for your pups. If working remotely, I try to stay where pups can see me and take lots of breaks for walks, pottying, and pets. Unless you have a specific walking route, I like to stay on quieter streets with slower speed limits and less traffic so walks are calm. I also like to allow lots of time for sniffing (smells stimulate your pup’s brain!) unless you have behavioral or training concerns about avoiding distractions during walks.

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!”
