“Nicole was amazing! She has been a great communicator, took pictures of my dog and some of those are my favorites of my doggo right now, and when she thought my dog might have an injury she let me know to call to see what I felt the next steps were. My princess looked so happy within Nicole’s care and she had fun with the other pups too. Thank you Nicole!”
“OMG where do I begin. Ms. Crystal is AMAZING!😍😍😍😍😍 From beginning to end our experience was top notch and extremely professional. She began with meeting us virtually prior to our booking date to detailing what she offered and what was to be expected. Everything she stated was true. She treated our fur baby🐕 as her own! She took our baby on nature wallks, sent pictures daily and checked in with a refreshing text message of the details of our pups day. She even gave valuable insight on our pups behavior, calming techniques for her anxiety and personal experiences from 24 years of knowledge which we happily soaked up. This was our first time with Ms. Crystal but she now our go to. Our fur baby just loves❤️her. We would recommend her to everyone!”
“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!”
“I have had sitters for my Teddy before, but never felt so comfortable. She communicated well and gave frequent updates. She took great physical care of him. She even washed his little shirts before I got him. That's above and beyond. Im thankful.”
“Lucia kept us up to date with our dog activities by frequently sending us pictures and we really enjoyed them. From the pictures, we could see that our dog was happy. We will definitely bring our dog to her next time we are going out of town again.”
“We’re so thankful we found Jeff. Our first time using Rover and he was just so communicative throughout the process and from beginning to end made us feel comfortable and that our pup was safe. We received daily pictures and updates and we just know Bentley had the best time. Will be utilizing Jeff again in the future with zero hesitation.”
“Estela watched Walter for a whole week and sent me a pic almost daily. Doggy was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I will consider using her services again whenever I need dog boarding.”
“I believe Simba had a better New Year celebration with Christin, James and friends then I did and I had an awesome New Years! Simba, has found his home-away-from-Home❤️. I will definitely call Christin and James every time I need a sitter!”
“Tabatha went above and beyond taking care of my dog Lila over the weekend. She took care to get to know her, and to understand all her quirks and preferences both before and during the booking, and went out of her way to make Lila feel comfortable in her home. She was very communicative throughout the booking, and sent plenty of pictures and videos. Highly recommend Tabatha for anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friend!”
“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!”
“Colleen took wonderful care of our cockapoo for 3 days. She sent photos several times and provided photos. She also was able to give some eyedrops several times per day that our dog required. My dog seemed content and well cared for. Thank you.”
“Wonderful pet care while we were on vacation for two week. Tasha sent pictures and communicated through out the two week, on how Shorty was doing. Will use her services again. Thank you, Vanessa”
“My first time using this app and I lucked out. Excellent fur baby sitter, felt comfortable leaving my dog there. She was able to accomodate super last minute and for an entire week. Very friendly, great communication with updates and pictures.”
“Mark and his family were absolutely amazing! The communication was great from start to finish, which really gave me peace of mind. This was Coco’s first time being away from me overnight, and honestly, I wouldn’t have gone if Mark and his family weren’t available. Coco can be full of energy, but I love how they were so patient and accommodating with her. I also really appreciated all the pictures and the positive, loving vibes from the whole family, it truly made a difference. Thank you all so much, and we will definitely see you again!”
“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!”
“Diego was very attentive to us and our animals. We got several images and videos each day. It made it feel like we were right there. Our puppies were happy when we picked them up but I think they didn't want to leave Diego. Would definitely recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future.”
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.
“My frenchie had a very smooth and easy 6 day stay with Adiyah. She’s very kind and easy to communicate with. She sent photos throughout our time away and I always felt like he was in good hands. Will be booking again! And highly recommend.”
“Christian was so great with Itty! She sent me pictures everyday of them out on walks and Itty curled up in the house. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“We greatly appreciated Kelly and Maurice's flexibility when we had a last minute request for our Roxy. She was well taken care of, loved on, and made comfortable as soon as we dropped her off. It helped ease our minds knowing that she was in a great environment!”

“We loved working with Rebecca! She was flexible and came to meet our cats before hand and it really made a difference. We will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Tandy was amazing! we couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Rover. We had to leave for a week long trip and Tandy made sure we were comfortable with our pets being in the best care! She followed our instructions to the detail and went above and beyond to make our cats comfortable. One of them was scared (he is a scared kitty) and she made sure to take the time to friend him and approach him and learn about him. We are so thankful for her help and will definitely will be rebooking her! Thank you Tandy!”
About: I have cared for many stray cats by providing them with food and shelter until I was able to find them loving homes. I also have a cat of my own, so I understand the patience, care, and attention cats need to feel safe and comfortable. In addition, I currently work in an animal hospital, where I regularly handle and care for cats of all ages and personalities. My hospital also offered boarding services, giving me experience in feeding, monitoring, administering medications when needed, cleaning litter boxes, and ensuring cats are comfortable while their owners are away.
“Gina is great. My cats love her, and she even helped me trap two friendly neighborhood strays and took them to the Humane Rescue Alliance where they were adopted out. Several other folks in my neighborhood also use her services.”
About: Since a young age, I lived around/with cats and what this has allowed me to do is gain expertise on how cats behave with their manner’s and attitudes that they may possess. Something that has always attracted me to cats. Is their ability to stand on their own in most situations and to display a high level of independence.
About: I’m a dog dad of 3, I’ve grown up around all animals. I love my children and I want to be able to help people take care of theirs if they need it. Sometimes I like to bring my wife along to help, if you’re not okay with this please let me know and I’ll make sure it’s only me. I’m currently going to online school which leaves me with a lot of extra time for extra work such as Rover. Outside of taking care of my own babies. I am able to do stop in visits to take care of your fur babies for either a walk, to let them out, or to give them company for some time if they need it.
“10/10! Our trip was so much more enjoyable knowing our boys were well taken care of. Loved the photos and cute little updates☺️. We will definitely ask Sharmily to watch Frank and Nino again.”
“Nasheia is incredibly professional, communicative, and so very caring towards our dog Charlie! Charlie has a few special needs in his diet and behavior around other dogs, and Nasheia has handled everything he’s thrown at her. She drops in to our home for feeding and walks while we’re in office a few days during the week, and Charlie absolutely loves her. Nasheia communicates any issues early on, like scheduling or unexpected things happening during visits. She also politely points out when supplies like treats or food are low. She’s forward thinking and that’s a perfect match for us as planners when it comes to our dog. We’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Our cats were in the best possible hands with Natalie. She took care of all three of our girls over the holiday break and we couldn’t be happier with the love and care they were given. She followed all instructions perfectly, made sure to follow through with documentation and photos, and was attentive to everything I messaged her with throughout our time away. Most importantly, however, our cats were loved. She was very intentional about spending time with them, letting them warm up to her, and then giving them as much love as they could handle each visit. Our cat who typically never comes out of hiding was in the room with everyone during her second visit! They played, cuddled, had treats, and you could tell they felt very cared for and safe. Plus, I came home to a space that felt even cleaner than how I’d left it and it was the most reassuring feeling I could’ve asked for. Will rebook again and again.”
“Megan was a fantastic sitter for our cats. She came right on schedule for the visits, communicated with us often, and was very attentive to the cats needs. Couldn’t recommend her more to put your pets in safe, caring hands!!”
“Keaton was absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend them enough. They are incredibly responsive/communicative and always kept us up-to-date with everything. Our cat totally loved them too. I am so appreciative of all the super cute and high quality pics of our baby with every visit. We even got some extra special photo/videos of her happily playing. It was so clear that Keaton put so much love and care into everything they did while sitting for us. I felt so at ease knowing that our baby had the attention and playtime she needed while we were away. Keaton made sure to feed her and do all the necessary caretaking items and still always took the time to play with our kitty's favorite toys and give her snuggly lap time. The pictures we got show just how much she loves Keaton and we would love to use them again whenever we can! Thank you so much!!”
About: Thanks for checking out my sitter profile! I've been watching pets across the DC area for nearly 8 years, which includes experience as a walker and housesitter. I'm a dependable animal lover who will make sure your pet is happy and comfortable even while their people are away. I live with my partner in a very dog-friendly house in Landover Hills. While I manage the Rover account, my partner Lou--who is a caring pet parent with animal experience that includes a stint at wolf sanctuary-- also will keep your pet(s) company. We have two pups: the elderly Walden, a pug who sleeps 90% of the day, and Drax, an active mutt who enjoys playing with friends new and old in our yard but also cuddling up for evening snuggles. We have two cats who are friendly with dogs but have access to a dog-free office if any issues arise (so far we've only had adorable introductions as dogs' first cat friends--many nose boops). The house is in a suburban area and has a fenced in, maintained yard where your pup can happily spend their days playing with Drax, rolling in the grass, and sniffing around. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I work from home most days of the week; Lou works entirely from home. We often have guest animals in the house, so are used to a daily routine of breakfast and backyards romps after wake-up, multiple breaks throughout business hours, and plenty of play time and dinner in the evenings. We’re happy to incorporate your pet’s usual routine into ours to keep them comfy. I’m attentive to dogs in my care and take pride in ensuring they are comfortable while their owners are away. While with us, your pet will be treated like our own and get plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
“We appreciated Emma checking on our cat everyday while we were out of town. She’s an effective communicator and even got our typically-antisocial cat to warm up a bit!”

“Simply phenomenal! This was the first time we've had to leave Ollie for the whole day so we wanted to be sure he was left in good hands. I've been on the sitter side many times before but this was the first time we've left one of our dogs with someone other than family. We could not be happier or more grateful! Catie was extremely communicative, gave multiple picture and video updates, and Ollie clearly had a blast playing with Catie's dogs! So glad to have found such a loving, attentive sitter we can feel so comfortable leaving our pup with :)”
“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 love dogs, especially the friendly, loving, and attention-seeking ones! Ever since I was a young child, I've been surrounded by dogs--various ages, sizes, and breeds--and now realize that I find comfort in their presence. I am looking forward to welcoming your fur babies into our home! My work schedule is very flexible, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies, giving them the loving attention that they deserve.

About: I’ve done rover before and I’ve made long friends with watching their pets I’ve seen them grow and be the best fur balls they are I only work on the weekends 9pm-7am so I’m home during the week. Your fur babies will have my full attention all week I will be home with them the whole time It depends on how the owner would like me to do things but I would walk them , play with them and depending on weather go to a park
About: I've always had dogs growing up in southern Virginia. I have taken care of my own pets for the past 10 years, I have a dog and a cat (that acts like a dog). My dog is not spayed, so I have experience with dogs in heat. If your dog is not neutered, I have experience monitoring behavior and separating the animals. My parent's dog is not neutered. As a loving parent of a goldendoodle, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I am able to work remotely on most days so I can be flexible with my dog walking schedule. Most mornings start with fresh water and fresh food and a walk. I usually walk my dog again during lunch and then after the work day is over in the evening. I understand dog/cat behavior and know when to separate the animals. Moreover if you dog is crate trained, I will use that as their safe space whenever they may be anxious. If possible, please leave an item from home with your scent.
“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!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, providing attentive daily care that includes feeding, fresh water, enrichment, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and take time to build trust through calm, positive interactions. My care focuses on safety, routine, and giving each pet the individual attention they need, whether that’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. I start each morning by checking on the pets, refreshing their water, and serving breakfast before beginning my own day. Walks, litter box care, and playtime are scheduled around my regular tasks so pets receive consistent attention and activity throughout the day. I plan my work, chores, and errands with built-in breaks to ensure pets get timely bathroom outings, companionship, and enrichment. In the afternoon and evening, I incorporate additional exercise, feeding, and quiet bonding time. I keep a predictable schedule so pets feel secure and know what to expect. Even during busy days, I prioritize their needs by preparing supplies in advance, keeping my home organized, and setting reminders for medications or special instructions. When pets stay in my home, I focus on providing a safe, comfortable, and structured environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I start by setting up a designated space for each pet, complete with cozy bedding, fresh water, and any personal items their owner provides. Dogs receive regular outdoor breaks, and with a fenced house and large backyard they have plenty of playtime to keep them active and mentally stimulated. Cats enjoy a calm indoor environment with clean litter boxes, enrichment activities, and safe spaces to explore or relax. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, preferred activities, and any special care instructions. I monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels throughout the day to ensure they feel happy and healthy. For pets that need extra support—such as seniors, shy animals, or those with mild anxiety—I provide gentle reassurance and a quiet, predictable space.
About: I am an animal lover and have had various types of animal companions throughout my lifetime. Currently I am the Farm operator for our Urban farm. We raise ducks and chickens but they are always separate from visiting pups. Only within view for their entertainment and relaxation here on the farm. Yes we are located nearby in the city 🥰 I have a quiet understanding with most animals that I come across and enjoy their company. I have sat for many of my friends and family and am the go to person when someone needs to go out and about but cannot take their pet family members. I am currently focusing on dog sitting and have dedicate my time to being available to meet as many fur babies as I can in the next couple months. I have a room dedicated to pet care which has a greenhouse feel with plants but is fully enclosed in the home. It has a doggy door which leads out to our fully fenced back yard and large dog run with a insulated dog house inside. I also have a wireless camera on the areas which allow me to make sure that everyone is ok at all times. Please note that I no longer accept large breed dogs at this time aside from past clients. I am currently focusing my time on pet sitting. I am always also checking in via webcam on the pups wherever I am. Dog personalities are so amazing and fun to see. I have a double fenced yard to keep your pets safe. Lots of open dog crates and bedding for snoozing. A dog door that allows them some freedom and a large dedicated outdoor dog area for doggie playtime. They also always have access to fresh cool water.
“Amazing sitters! We never worry when our pup is in their care. They are great at taking care of all types of different personalities. Would 100% recommend if you want a safe, loving home away from home for your dog!”
About: Hello World! My name is Rouday and I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. In those 25 years I have had the privilege of raising three dogs, all different shapes and sizes.

About: I’ve had dogs of different breads since I was a little girl. I used to feed and walk my neighbor’s dog around the community while also taking care of mine :) I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dog indoors and also be able to take them out occasionally on walks. I live in an apartment so I unfortunately don’t have a yard at the moment. I do have a balcony that’s safe for a small dog to be in.
About: I have experience fostering a puppy and volunteering at dog shelters, where I regularly take dogs out for walks and give them loving attention. I grew up with a golden retriever named Max, which sparked my lifelong love for dogs. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am available throughout the weekdays and select weekends. I kindly ask for advance notice when possible, as I am a college student balancing my schedule. I care for pets in a safe, calm home environment with plenty of space to play and relax. I live in a house with a large backyard. I am happy to crate your dog if needed, as long as you provide the crate.

About: I enjoy spending time with my dog and learning about dogs. I got my first dog 6 years ago and ever since it’s been life-changing I’m currently fully remote and free most weekends so, I’ll be available for the most part. I do live in an apartment so I can’t board or dog sit inside my space. I like to go on walks, runs, spend time teaching commands and go on trails. I like to communicate with the owner before giving out treats to make sure they’re good to have or update them on their potty time in case something is off.
“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!”
“Tandy was super professional and kind. I lived a little out of the ways but she was happy to come by and take care of our dog. I scheduled her for a walk and she still came and walked her in the RAIN and got soaking wet. Even got my dog a towel and dried her off. Definitely will be booking her again. True heart of gold and very helpful.”
“Feriha is great with our young puppy! She was very attentive to our energetic pup’s needs. She arrived on time and followed our instructions. After each walk, she provides plenty of detail and adorable pictures. Highly recommend!”

About: I believe that every child should grow up with the unconditional love of a pet. We rescued our first to grow up with our adult daughter and our newest addition has grown up with my teenage daughter. Their dogs have ultimately become my dogs because I secretly enjoy their company ☺️ Like Many, Working from home had become the normal and now that many of you are returning to in person work schedules I've decided to care for fur babies that have grown accustomed to the warmth and undivided attention of their companions. I'm free most weekdays. And after drop offs my Koby 🐶 and I go on walks in the neighborhood. And we venture the school's neighborhood at pickup. So in between your pet can be as lazy or as active as he, she or they wants. I have a large fenced back yard for playing and a huge front and back porch for lounging. Our home provides open space and cozy spaces for relaxing.
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. Over the past year, I’ve lived with three dogs, two parrots, and 4 cats, and before that, I lived with and helped care for around 23 rescue animals. Everything from lizards and turtles to dogs, goats, and horses! My goal is to pursue a career in animal care, and pet sitting is the perfect way to gain even more hands on experience with different breeds and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m suppose to start college in December and am not employed, at the moment I am free all day and all night and can care for your pets whenever and give them the most comfortable stay, and lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard and a wide dog cage in the backyard and in the house in case your pet needs to be caged. I take care of both my dog and my mother’s elderly dog they eat and get walked at around the same time every day and go outside to play with toys or just to run around the yard a lot throughout the day.

“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!”

“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!”
“I believe Simba had a better New Year celebration with Christin, James and friends then I did and I had an awesome New Years! Simba, has found his home-away-from-Home❤️. I will definitely call Christin and James every time I need a sitter!”
“Tabatha went above and beyond taking care of my dog Lila over the weekend. She took care to get to know her, and to understand all her quirks and preferences both before and during the booking, and went out of her way to make Lila feel comfortable in her home. She was very communicative throughout the booking, and sent plenty of pictures and videos. Highly recommend Tabatha for anyone looking for a sitter for their furry friend!”
“Wonderful pet care while we were on vacation for two week. Tasha sent pictures and communicated through out the two week, on how Shorty was doing. Will use her services again. Thank you, Vanessa”
“Mark and his family were absolutely amazing! The communication was great from start to finish, which really gave me peace of mind. This was Coco’s first time being away from me overnight, and honestly, I wouldn’t have gone if Mark and his family weren’t available. Coco can be full of energy, but I love how they were so patient and accommodating with her. I also really appreciated all the pictures and the positive, loving vibes from the whole family, it truly made a difference. Thank you all so much, and we will definitely see you 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.
“My frenchie had a very smooth and easy 6 day stay with Adiyah. She’s very kind and easy to communicate with. She sent photos throughout our time away and I always felt like he was in good hands. Will be booking again! And highly recommend.”
“Christian was so great with Itty! She sent me pictures everyday of them out on walks and Itty curled up in the house. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“My sweet pup has the time of her life at CampMax! Max is the perfect gentlemen host and I appreciate the consistency. We could not be happier with the care!”
“My previous Rover family left the area so I reached out to Aaron and Paweena, who quickly scheduled a meet & greet and asked good questions that left me confident that the would care for my girl. They invested extra time with her to overcome initial homesickness and even let her sleep on their bed.”
“Joe was great and we would be happy to leave Dakota in his care again. He was super flexible and provided daily updates which were really appreciated. Dakota made some dog friends and seemed to enjoy his lengthy visit. Joe lives near a wooded area so it was nice for Dakota to be a little bit out of the chaos of the city.”
“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!”
“We spent quite a bit of time searching for the perfect sitter for our senior Jack Russell Terrier, Bonzi, as he has only ever stayed with family. We met Johnathan and knew he was the one. He is friendly, kind, and caring. Bonzi stayed with him for a week and Johnathan treated him like a member of the family. He also stayed in touch with us sending updates and photos. Bonzi was well looked after and we will not hesitate to use Johnathan again. We are so happy we found him.”
About: Hello World! My name is Rouday and I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. In those 25 years I have had the privilege of raising three dogs, all different shapes and sizes. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, playing with them at dog parks, and loving up on my furry friends. I currently have an extremely flexible schedule as I work remotely and control my own workflow. I also have two young children that require schedule flexibility. Very safe secure building, which includes dedicated dog walking areas, and also room to groom pets as well. Location is also close to some great parks and walking paths that dogs will enjoy
“Jenna was fantastic! She was incredibly communicative, sent great photos and updates every day, and took excellent care of Finnley. She was also very flexible with scheduling and always responded quickly. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Finnley was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Mckinley watched my kitten Cashew over the July 4 long weekend, and she was awesome! A week before Cashew’s boarding stay started, she proposed a phone call to learn all about his care and any concerns I had. She sent consistent updates with photos/videos of Cashew throughout his stay, and he clearly had a blast playing with her cat!”
“We have used Austin and Majid on multiple occasions (and already have them booked for our next stay.) Francis is always so happy when he recognizes that we are on their street. They take great care of him and are glad to have a safe place for him to be when we are away.”
“Second booking with Tommy and it was great just like the first one. He kept me updated with pictures everyday. Korra enjoyed her stay and made new friends! I’ll be booking Tommy again.”
“Cal and Kelly took great care of Buttercup and sent lots of photos of her having fun with her dog friends there. They let us know when she was feeling anxious (she is a sensitive rescue) and took extra care to make her more comfortable. They are our favorite Rover sitters!”
“Haydenn is fantastic! Communicates regularly and our dog absolutely loves him. She is usually hesitant to go with dog watchers but whenever she see's Haydenn she RUNS and pulls me over, very excited to see him. Highly recommend!”
