“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!”

“So great! They are very accommodating and communicative. They kept us connected to out furry baby and all the fun he was having during our trip!”


“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!!!”

“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.”

“My dog had such a great time with Kathleen! He got plenty of walks and snuggles and she was very easy to communicate with. Will definitely use her again next time I need a sitter.”

“Meredith has watched our dog Toby twice now and both times she has sent great updates and taken really wonderful care of him. She makes everything very easy and we know Toby is well taken care of.”


“Fabian was amazing and so flexible with our needs. He went above and beyond and we never once worried about our pets while under his care! Highly recommend”


“We’re always a bit anxious leaving our pups behind when we travel, but there was no need this time! Lucky and Sadie were treated wonderfully, and we really loved the updates we were given. We never had to worry if they were in good hands or not. We definitely would reach out again if we need help!”

“My pup was so spoiled in love and clearly very happy and comfortable! Best Rover stay she’s had yet! 🥰 I highly recommend booking with Melonie. She provided tons of photos, daily updates and was very thorough in our initial meet and greet. Thank you for caring for Gianna, Melonie!!”

“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.”


“Brian was absolutely amazing with my little Princess! Text updates with pictures multiple times! Even when it was time to pick her up, she didn’t want to leave. Going forward we will only be using Brian. When we used to board her at Kennels, she would fall into a depression and refuse to eat and even drink water. When we picked her up, it was just like we came home from work. She was the same happy little princess like always. Thanks again Brian and l can speak for Ria when I say- she can’t wait to stay with you again!”
“My dog was extremely well cared for at June’s! Banks had a blast with a new friend and looked totally at home! June is great with communication and sends great updates. Will book again for our next need!”

“Donald & Jeffrey watched our pup during an extended trip and took great care of her. They sent pictures & updates and gave her lots of attention. They seemed to really enjoy hosting Mia. We’ll definitely ask Donald & Jeffrey to watch our dog again.”

“Melissa is amazing! So happy i found her!! She’s is very easy to communicate with. She sent lots of pictures and she shows a genuine care for my fur baby! I don’t worry about him one bit.”
“Sarah genuinely gives me the most peace of mind when I am away because I know my Pookie is being loved on, taken care of, and kept safe always!! As usual, I am so appreciative of all of the pictures and updates she sends, and cannot thank her enough for the love she gives my pup.”


“Michelle is soo sweet and accommodating! She and her family will make the perfect home away from home for your furbaby! Absolutely recommend to anyone who's having anxiety about leaving your pet with someone, Michelle is someone you can trust (:”

“Beth took excellent care of our ~14 year old diabetic dog while we went away for a long weekend and was able to give her twice daily insulin shots. Even better, she lives 2 blocks from us, making the whole thing super easy and convenient. I'm sure Piggy appreciated being at home in her own neighborhood. 14/10, would do again! Thank you Beth!”


“Indigo loves staying with Melissa (and Hershey). Having a safe and happy place for her to go when we travel makes going away so much easier. Thanks Melissa!”

“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. 🤗”


“Absolutely amazing sitter. She left detailed notes after every visit, sent pictures, and clearly put a lot of care and attention into checking on my cat. I really appreciated how communicative and thoughtful she was, it made being away so much less stressful. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. Would absolutely book again!”


“Cynthia went above and beyond for Hobbes. She sent a lot of pictures, was easy to reach, and always kept us updated. I would highly recommend her to others.”


“Third time working with Melissa and she consistently is a reliable, professional, and trustworthy pet sitter. She is able to drop in on my cat King and sometimes I think he wants to swap me out for her! She is great and is able to help King by giving him his insulin shots without issue. She is my go-to!”

“Elizabeth took great care of my cats. She fed and cleaned litter boxes daily. According to the cats, she gave out treats and pets as they demanded. I definitely recommend her for cat sitting!”

“Kordell was an amazing sitter. I found him as a sitter last minute after other sitting arrangements fell through and his flexibility was a life saver. Also, Buccy the cat, normally standoffish and moody got along with him pretty well which was a happy surprise. Thank you again Kordell!”


About: I’ve always had cats in the house and have cared for them from birth to end of life. My most recent experience is with my adopted baby, Sushi, who I adopted as a kitten. I have experience feeding, changing and scooping litter boxes, loving on, playing with, giving medicine, and anything your cat may need. I’ll care for them as if they are my own and would love to spoil them.

“Kayli did a great job with our cats - super responsive, took great pictures, and the cats clearly enjoyed their time with her. She also left the area as clean as any Rover sitter we’ve used. Highly recommend!”

“You did an absolutely amazing job. The extra effort and time you have put in not just taking care of Tom but playing with him and even using the exercise wheel - above and beyond. Amazing work Max.”
“Kalani did an amazing job communicating before and during the pet sitting, was punctual and reliable, followed instructions but made sure to ask questions when unsure (which makes me very happy!) and kept/left my house as organized and tidy as I when I left. I cannot state enough how amazing it was to come home after a week gone to very little cleanup needed!”


“Melissa took such great care of my cats during her drop in visits while I was on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and videos and even spent more time with them than required. You can tell she really loves what she does. I highly recommend her and will return to her in the future!”

“Shannon was incredibly communicative and kind. We were navigating a very skittish cat and she was incredibly compassionate and understanding. I would recommend her to any family.”


About: I always took care of mainly my cats I had 6 some were kittens and some were almost 19 some had thumbs and some just needed different medications either way I made sure it happened for the cats and families
“Dani was absolutely amazing! She was very thorough and great with communication. I felt my fur baby and fish were well taken care of and will be requesting her again in the future! Thank you :)”

“Kaitlyn is amazing. I was on a camping trip with little to no cell service, so I couldn't get the rover ap to load. She agreed to text me to keep me updated on my my girls. They were so much happier than usual when I arrived home. Minimal snubbing. 15 out of 10 stars!”


“Bria took great care of our cat and apartment while we were out of town! She is really friendly and communicative and sent lots of videos of our cat who seemed super happy to be hanging out with her. I appreciate that she’s so good with animals and you can tell they love her back. I would hire her again!”

“Wonderful experience! This is my first time leaving my fur baby with June and she didnt disappoint. She gave my senior pup, Snapple, plenty of cuddles and attention all day. And I absolutely love the amount of pics and videos June sent during her stay to make me feel comfortable as a dogmom :-). I highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Theresa was amazing! Rosie had a great stay with her and T'Challa. Everything went perfectly, I'm so grateful that Theresa took such good care of Rosie while I visited the National Mall.”

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.
“Jennifer was amazing and helped me out last minute when another rover sitter cancelled! She was super responsive and Spike enjoyed spending the day with her and Louis :) I would definitely book again!”

“Jessica took amazing care of Luna. She was communicative during her stay, sending me photos and letting me know how she was doing. This was very reassuring when using a new pet sitter. Luna also took a liking to her and we look forward to booking again with her.”

“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“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!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was very young, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a pug, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently in my last semester of nursing school! My classes are online, and I only have one in-person clinical day per week, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for doggy daycare, boarding, and walks throughout the week and can usually accommodate different drop-off, pick-up, and walk times. 🐾 Safety is always my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet pug, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and personalities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure dogs are supervised, fed on schedule, and kept in a safe environment. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, follow any routines you prefer, and give your pup plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”


“Ursula accommodated us last minute when we have to leave Teddy for a few hours. Her and her husband was caring dog parents. They reassured us that Teddy will be in good hands. They also sent us photos of Teddy frequently which my kids loved. Thanks you and keep up the good work! Will definitely book with them again in the future.”
About: My first two rescues were Rottweilers my third and only child is the child that my mom blessed me with. She is a needy, loving girl but high energy so I’ve dealt with everything from couch potato to high Strong lovely I work from home and my height energy baby is used to go out multiple times a day and she is great with any dog she needs. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I am very active walking them in the neighborhood and we will always make time to go out. We are sidekick and we go walking together, dog parks together, but also she has not ever met a dog that she doesn’t love. Even those in the neighborhood that don’t get along with others love her. I do not have kids, but my nieces who are 5 to 9 or around her often so she is great with them, but I also understand those that don’t want their dog around kids so I will not bring them around them if they are uncomfortable.
“Watson enjoyed his day with Alainie and her two pups. She is a very responsive and flexible host that accommodated a few last minute changes for our recent booking. We're looking forward to booking with her again!”

“My dog had a wonderful day in Tricia’s care! Tricia sent multiple photos and updates throughout the day. I look forward to having her watch my dog again.”

“Melissa is a great host! Sasha loves her. She takes care of Sasha like it was her own. Melissa is responsive and will keep you updated. She cares for your pet and make sure they are safe and well taken care of. Sasha knows when it is daycare and time to go to Melissa’s house.”

“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”

“Dzov and Carl LOVED their day with Brian and Izzy. They had so much fun, neither of them woke me up the next morning... they were so pooped from having a blast with Jax and Ziggy. We got lots of fun pics and videos throughout the day. Carl and Dzov can’t wait to see their friends again!!”

About: What sets me apart is the lifelong experience and genuine love I have for animals. 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. Although Angel passed away last year and I haven’t had a dog of my own since, caring for her gave me years of firsthand experience understanding a dog’s needs, personality, routines, and the importance of patience and companionship. 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!
“Chase has been prompt, responsive, thorough, and SO kind with Betty. Betty is regaining some confidence with walkers, and I couldn't ask for someone more patient and gentle than Chase!”


“Corissa is amazing! She made sure Bentley was happy and was super personable. She went out of her way to have a meeting with me before we booked it and made Bentleys safety a top priority.”
“Kennedi came through for my baby at last minute. She has great communication skills, super nice and I know how adventurous and playful Lotus can be so I know she's patient! She's very attentive and I appreciate her for coming through. I will book again”


About: I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats, including multiple rescue animals, so I understand that every pet has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. I currently have two dogs, one is a rescue and two rescue cats, which has given me experience working with anxious pets, building trust, and recognizing behavioral needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I also have experience caring for seniors and individuals with special needs, which has made me very patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering extra care and attention when needed, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Caring for pets is a huge part of my everyday life! Between two dogs and two cats, my pets keep me busy! I’m very accustomed to building my daily schedule around animals. I am currently home for the summer and available at all times of the day to provide attention and care! In caring for pets, I deeply value maintaining their regular routine to the greatest extent possible. Ensuring pets have feelings of familiarity and comfort is super important to me in providing an environment that feels safe and trustworthy for all furbabies!
About: I provide reliable, gentle care for pets of all personalities. I take time to understand each animal’s routine and comfort level, offering calm interaction, clean spaces, and consistent feeding. Whether playful, shy, or special-needs, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and understood—while keeping you updated along the way. I’m currently a full-time student attending school online so I’m open and available for all your pet care needs, at any time of day! I’m fine with doing weekends, and overnight stays if necessary, just let me know! I offer calm, reliable in-home care so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space. I follow your routines closely—feeding, cleaning, playtime, and any special needs—while keeping their environment tidy and stress-free. My goal is to make your home feel just as safe and comforting for your pet as when you’re there!

“Ican't say enough good things about karima! She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and always go above and beyond to make sure my dog, Bruno is well-exercised and happy.
