Dobby had a wonderful time at Robin and Michael's with lots of socialization with other dogs and was very well cared for. The regular text and photo updates kept us at ease so we were able to enjoy our vacation. We now know where we'll take Dobby the next time we go away! Thanks Robin and Michael!”
“Yi was great with our little Chispita. She took care of her with love and shared with me pictures and videos, all the time. I felt confident about how Chispita was. I definitely recommend”
“Bianca was a wonderful sitter. I knew the moment I met her that my pooch was in good hands which put me at ease. My dog takes time to warm up to people but he was well acquainted with Bianca so quickly. She provided frequent updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her in photos. When I picked my dog up he was crying when she left and was searching for her. I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet.”
“This was our first time boarding Ruby and we were so anxious about leaving her! Maria put us at ease. She clearly has the experience, knowledge, and love to care for our dog. Ruby came back relaxed and tired from playing with the other dogs and getting lots of outside time. We will definitely return to Maria for our next trip!”
“Rex can get anxiety especially with separation and being in new surroundings. Max was able to work through it well with him. He kept us informed the entire time which we really appreciated. I would recommend Max to anyone!”
“I was nervous about leaving Chilson since we only adopted him 3 months ago and he’s only just begun to feel at home with us. Haydenn had his heart when they first met and Chilson warmed right up! Was happy and content when I picked him up and I hope to ask Haydenn to watch him again next time we’re in DC.”
“I haven’t left my dog, Chico, with a new sitter in over 2 years so I was a little nervous this time! However, Rin was amazing, patient and super understanding. She sent tons of photos and it was clear my dog felt at home and was enjoying his time. I would recommend Rin 100%. Thank you!!”
“What a great experience! Thanks guys for looking after Ajax so well. We will for sure look you up again. Ajax was wonderfully cared for and happy. 100% would recommend.”

We are so grateful to them for taking such good care of Pip, and can’t wait to book with them again for our next trip.”

“I've only ever used friends and family to watch my pets so was a little nervous about the idea of booking a stranger but Jana was so wonderful, put me right at ease, and set the bar so high for pet sitters! Right away I knew she was going to be a fantastic sitter. She was quick with her responses, prompt with her check ins and photos and clearly loves animals. My cat was so well taken care of while I was gone and I'm looking forward to continuing using Jana's services!”
“We had an awesome experience with Xin! She took great care of Tommy. We got regular updates and pics, which really put us at ease. Tommy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. Would 100% book again 😊”
“Teffni is just terrific and clearly cares for the well being of all her charges. She is just doing a phenomenal job in a very difficult situation where Linus the Cat’s doting owner is in hospice care at home. Teffni’s care and flexibility have enabled Kitty to comfort to his mom and bring smiles to her face every day.”
“Julianna was excellent with my cats. My one girl can be pretty skittish and she seemed to warm up to her fairly quickly. She gave me thorough updates, took a ton of pictures, and immediately reached out with any questions. I felt at ease leaving my cats with her and would definitely book her again 🐱”
“It makes us feel so much more comfortable to have Melissa watching our cat when we are out of town. Melissa spends the entire time caring for and interacting with her, even though she is very shy. Melissa always provides very detailed notes and photos which let us know exactly what is happening. She will always be our choice to care for Smores while we are away!”
About: I've been dog walking ever since 2020, starting with my sister's retriever mix, my neighbor's dogs of similar size (85 lbs), and a family friend’s corgi. I'm used to taking care of dogs with a lot of energy! I've been entrusted to take of care my sister's dog on my own for extended periods of time since then, spanning anywhere from a week to over two months. I am available mostly from 10 am - 4 pm on weekdays, barring any special circumstances. On weekends I am less flexible in the afternoons. I have a fenced in yard that is decently spacious with lots of slopes for dogs to run across. It's perfect for a game of fetch or just a case of the zoomies! While I do spend most of the day on my own, I can give enough attention to any dog that needs it because of my flexible schedule.
“Drew is just downright amazing! Braved the winter storm to take care of our boys and went above and beyond as a sitter. Extremely responsive and friendly to us and the cats. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.”
“Ilana made sure our cat was well taken care of while we were away. I highly recommend! This is the first time for us to use Rover and we're glad to have Ilana take care of our cat. Thank you Ilana!”
“Nuha took such great care of our cat! She is kind, communicative, and we came home to a very happy cat. She left detailed reports on each visit, and we felt like we could relax on vacation knowing our cat was taken care of.”
“Natalia is always great with our cat. Just before e elect for vacation he started showing signs of illness. Natalia went above and beyond to make him a bland diet and talk to the Rover vet. We appreciate her help and genuine care for our cat and our home.”
“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 ❤️”
“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. :)”
“Michael is the best! You can see from his write ups and all the pictures he takes just how much he cares for the pets he’s watching. Thank you for taking such great care of Bianca and Benito!”
“Alexander was very attentive to our cat, Jasmine, while we were away. He was also responsive to our questions and concerns and administered oral medication to Jasmine every day.”
“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!”
About: I’ve owned three cats in my life Lucas, Jasmine and Garfield. Sadly Garfield is no longer with us as he passed away a few years ago of a heart attack, but Lucas and Jasmine are still around and hopefully stay that way for many years to come.
“Linda was absolutely amazing. My situation was very complex due to leaving for a family emergency and she was such a huge help. She checked in on my fur baby, and made sure she was safe and okay. Thank you so much Linda, I can’t recommend you enough!”

“Spike had a great time here! I was a little worried at first because he gets a little territorial around his house toward other dogs but has always been good at doggy day care, I just thought maybe since it was out of a house, he would think it was his right away, haha! But they have a great way of integrating and letting the dogs get comfortable with the space and other dogs. They really have this down to a science! They showed my big boye lots of love and fun, even gave him a goodie bag of new toys to play with! Thanks so much for your care and commitment!”
“Natalia was a wonderful daycare mom for our pup. She made my pup feel safe and took him on great walks! She was also very accommodating of my schedule. I highly recommend her. We will definitely return to her in the future.”
“We are so thankful to have found Paul! He excepted our booking very last minute and was so accommodating. Ebony doesn’t always do well in new places, but I think he would have preferred to stay with Paul even longer! Lots of walks, lots of pictures and updates. I especially appreciate how confident Paul is with socializing Ebony with other dogs, something I am always nervous about. Will definitely use Paul as a sitter in the future!”
“Amazing place! Made me and my dog feel very comfortable with our first time. Very professional and can tell they love and know dogs really well. Will be using them again!”
“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!”
“Jessica was super easy to work with! She was quick to respond, very understanding of my dog's needs (an anxious dog) and overall a very kind and pleasant person. My dog spent a day with her and I would recommend her for all your pet needs!!”

“I couldn't be happier with both the care and physical activity my Gigi experienced while with Yi. She was well tended to, with tons of pictures and videos to keep me posted throughout the day, and she was allowed to really run and play burning through all of that puppy energy. She could barely stay awake when we got home! A+++”

“Our dogs love Helena! She is very kind, caring, and punctual. Our dogs loves Helena’s warm personality and they greet her with lots of love. Our little cavapoo Whitney is typically fearful and a little anxious at times. Whitney has quickly warmed up to Helena and not as anxious doing the transfer of leash at the door. Thank you so much Helena for your love, care and patience you give our fur babies.”
“Teffni is so sweet and communicative, and she had to deal with a lot: my dog not wanting to walk in the rain and the front desk attendant giving her a hard time. Really appreciated her help.”
“Michael walked our two big dogs for all of the college football games we attended this season. He was always on time and took our dogs for a nice long walk. He has helped us out many times and has always been very professional and caring with our dogs.”
“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.”
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
“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!!!!”
“Whitney is an excellent walker! Sully was immediately excited and eager to meet her and was clearly very happy after the walk. I’ve already booked a second walk with Whitney!”
“We met Nicole for the first time. She's a wonderful young woman, full of positive energy and joy. Our dog Sasha immediately liked and trusted her. It's clear that Nicole has a huge heart for animals. We offered Nicole a full-year schedule right away. ~ Tom”
“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.”
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.
“I loved seeing all of the adventures the boys went on with Jeffrey! Thank you for tiring them out! They look like they had an absolute blast and would probably love to do this again.”

“Jonathan was wonderful with Teddy! You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure Teddy had a great walk and was comfortable along the way. He even brought a water cup for him, which was such a thoughtful touch. Jonathan was on time, dependable, and his communication was excellent. Teddy was in great hands, and I’d absolutely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable!”
“Jason is beyond wonderful with our new pup, as well as very friendly and kind. He's accommodating to our changes as we settle into a routine. We're looking forward to ongoing walks!”
“Justin was wonderful! He sent check-in each time he walked and fed our dog Juni, and he clearly enjoyed spending time with her. We were happy to know he’s walked a few of our neighbors’ dogs too, so he was very comfortable with the neighborhood. I will definitely be hiring him again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Kevin is fantastic! He walks our dog a few times a week and our dog is loving it. Kevin is reliable, friendly, and leaves the best walk reviews for us! We really enjoy having Kevin as our dog walker.”

“Julijai and her family were phenomenal dog sitters! They took such great care of my guy, Eli. He loved running around in their big fenced in yard and playing with their own pups who were around Eli’s age. He came home tired and happy :) Couldn’t have asked for more from Julijai and her family. They were great and I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter.”
