“The best sitters we have had! Our two dogs had a ton of fun during their long stay. We loved the daily updates with photos. Will be booking all of our future stays with Lynette and Vincent. Thank you!!”
“This was our first time trying a sitter and after our initial meeting, we knew we would be comfortable leaving Remi with them. They kept us informed and provided great videos. We were pleased with the care they provided and will certainly book with them in the future.”
“Diego was great (and Coco too ☺️)! He encouraged a meet and greet, was very patient and asked questions to understand my dog’s habits and needs. It was the first time leaving her with anyone and went smoothly. Diego also sent regular updates and pictures, so I felt informed of how things were going. Definitely recommend and already booking the next stay!”
“Crystal was amazing. I can totally tell my little baby Rio felt comfortable in her presence. I appreciate her love for my baby and how much she communicated! She sent photos and videos daily and informed me of how he was doing. I would absolutely hire Crystal for her services and recommend her to anyone.”
“From the moment we arrived to Sabrina’s home, we could tell how comfortable they felt in her home. They weren’t anxious or hesitant, they settled in so naturally, which says everything ALOT. As an anxious pet parent, that peace of mind was everything. Our Maltese got an upset stomach during the last night of the stay. Sabrina took such great care of her and followed up with us to check on her a few days later after That level of concern shows this isn’t just a service, she genuinely care about the pets she watches. Thank you for treating our babies like they were your own. We’ll absolutely be back in the future!”
“Tommy was amazing! The communication was great and he sent pictures. Our dogs seemed super happy and comfortable as soon as they arrived to his home. I’d highly recommend booking with him.”
“Very kind and responsive! They updated us several times throughout the week with how our Ace was doing. They even sent us videos and pictures. Will definitely book again!”
“Corey is amazing. We used him for boarding services. He took very great care of Duchess and treated her has his own. He provided a status and pictures of her multiple times per day. I will definitely use his services again! Thank you so much Corey!”
“Cynthia was super thoughtful and flexible with our dog. She gives all her temporary pups a ton of attention, so she's perfect for a dog that needs to be around people. She was also very kind when my dog got anxious and chewed on some of her things. I definitely recommend her!”
“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!”
“Donna is a true dog lover. It was evident to us from our meet and greet that she is familiar with dog behavior and has the temperament to deal with different types of dogs. She was very warm and loving to our dog, got to know him and cared for him accordingly. We were kept abreast of what was going on with him every day of the 10 days that we were away and felt totally comfortable with her. We will definitely board our dog with her again.”
“Needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby and April kindly obliged. Very friendly and welcoming so I felt comfortable leaving Bella with her even as my first time using these services. She sent pictures and gave periodic updates which I appreciated. I would definitely use April again in the future!”
“My dog stayed with Valeria for 3 nights, we had no issues. I felt comfortable with his stay, never felt worried or concerned, and was able to enjoy our weekend away. She took excellant care of him.”
“Raynell was amazing! She watched my dog last minute and treated him like family. She was flexible, kind, and kept me updated with regular pictures and messages. I really appreciated her care and will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“As always Malvi and Andrej provided the best care for our Ronan. We always travel relaxed knowing our boy will get the love and attention from them. So glad we found them!”

“Amber had great communication with us while we were away, and everything is fine at home--the cats are acting like "oh, you again", so everything went well. Would definitely ask to sit again.”
“Alicia was wonderful, she took great care of my two outdoor cats that I have. She is flexible with scheduling, and was very patient with my cats to make sure that they ate. Would definitely recommend!”
“Rita is my go-to cat person— this is the second time I have had a health emergency and she has taken care of my three cats in my absence. She cares about them and goes the extra mile to reassure me about the cats. She provides pictures and communication that lets me know my cats are in good hands. And she’s just agreed to another week— I’ve unexpectedly been delayed. Thanks Rita— I’m lucky to have found Rita and Rover.com.”
“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. 🤗”
“Nicole was amazing with our kitty on her first boarding experience. Nicole gave Paris the space to adjust at her pace, and gave lots of love and attention to make her feel at home. I loved all of the photos and videos each day so we could see how well she was doing!”
“Second time using Jessica, as usual, outstanding care for our cat. Was always timely for each of the three visits per day, always stayed the minimum amount and usually stayed a bit longer, followed instructions to the T, and spoiled our little chonker to no end. She was also kind enough to bring our mail in every few days after I forgot to have the post office hold it. Really glad we found Jessica!”
“This was the first time I've use Rover and I have to admit I was nervous. But Naomi took great care of Dex, my little cat boy. Her notes were very thorough and her photos were great. Really put me at ease. She also checked on and fed my little community cat family, including a new family of kittens. You'll feel very comfortable with her, and I absolutely recommend Naomi with no reservation.”
“Matilda was very communicative and did a great job caring for my cat, cleaning the litter, checking on the water, and playing with my cat. She did a great job paying attention to what my cat needed and giving her space when she needed it. Would book her again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Bessie was fantastic with Pip and Taz! She took great care of everything—from their feeding routine and litter box to spending time playing and hanging out with them. She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of photos and updates, and made it easy to feel confident that they were well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Bessie and will definitely use her again!”
“Bri always takes such wonderful care of our cat Bandit and her updates via photos, the occasional video, and a summary of the visit are incredibly thoughtful. I highly recommend booking Bri and am so happy we found her!”
“Kaylee, is so sweet and professional. Chase seems to really enjoy her company. She followed directions and communicated well with any concerns or questions. I’m looking forward to working with Kaylee again.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Jessica and she is the greatest! Our extremely shy cat adores her and she spends quality time with him. So glad we found such a reliable and kind cat sitter. Highly recommend using Jessie, your pets will love her!”

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.
“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!”
“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!”
“Thank you for taking care of our baby! Nicole was great - patient with Ethel, who was a little anxious. If we are ever looking for a sitter near DC again, we will absolutely reach out again!”
“Finley had a total blast with Supon. She played, she sunbathed, she hung out at his feet while he worked. We moved to the suburbs recently and Finley isn’t as used to going to dog sitters’ as she was, so she was skittish when she arrived. But very quickly it was clear from photos and videos that she was having the best day ever with new dog friends, Supon, and his expansive outdoor deck. I also appreciated how much Supon kept me updated throughout the day. Finley can’t wait to go back.”
“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.”
“Melanie was so wonderful with my foster dog Betty! Melanie was attentive to her needs, really responsive, and able to work with me at short notice. Betty will definitely be coming back to hang until she finds her furever home!”
“Lottie enjoyed her time with Alicia and Hazel! She arrived tired, since we’ve been on the road, but each afternoon, when we picked her up, Lottie was ready to go again! I knew it was a great fit when I walked Lottie to Alicia’s the 2nd day- she bounded up the steps with tail wagging!”

“Will be using Luisa again! What a great experience from start to finish with our first walk. Great communication as well and helped ease of first time anxiousness with a dog walker.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I had a golden growing up for 15 years and now have a dog of my own! I love going on long walks with dogs who need it, playing fetch, and giving lots of scritches and love! No dog is too small or too big for me. Happy to accommodate anything your pet needs! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work in VA and living MD so I’m really all over the map. I would prefer any time after 3 but can also come in the mornings with enough heads up. I do not have a fenced in back yard but do have a nice trail to walk on and get some energy out. I also have a lead in the backyard to keep the dogs safe and not escape if they would like to roam freely. My coonhound has been just fine with the set up! I also have a crate if preferred. My dog is friendly with others and loves other dogs!
“Lilla was fantastic!! Often going above and beyond to make sure our puppy had an amazing experience with her. She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures and/or video to let us know our puppy was doing well. Highly recommend and will definitely book her again whenever we need someone to walk Molly!”

“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.”
“Tia is awesome with Ziggy. In just 1 week, Ziggy has gotten used to her coming through the door. And sits and waits for her. This has been a lifesaver for us. We will continue to have Tia around as long as she will have us.”

“At this point, there is no one else I would trust with my dog Ruth! Holly is incredibly responsive, with videos and updates through Ruth’s stay. She also clearly loves dogs and shows my fairly anxious pup all the love she needs when I’m gone. Ruth got sick while she was staying with Holly and Holly kept me informed, actively tried to make her better (instead of just waiting it out), and comforted both me and my dog through it! She’s the best!!!”
