“Brianne cared for our puppy during our holiday travels. She provided plenty of walks and play time. It was great that our energetic, friendly pup could spend time with a family and other dogs. Brianne sent pictures daily, so we felt at ease while we were away. She was excellent with communication, responding promptly when messaging on the Rover app. We picked up a very happy and tired pup after his stay. Would definitely book again!”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Great photos of our elderly cat, relaxing, cuddling, and enjoying her pampered visit. Sonya went above and beyond to swing by our house and pick up medicine we'd forgotten. Great peace of mind knowing Maya was in safe, capable hands!”
“Alejandro took such great care of our old girl. We knew it was a perfect match the moment we walked in for the meet and greet. Our dog was so excited to meet Alejandro and his partner and got to exploring and cuddling immediately. She had no qualms about being dropped off for her staycation (it seemed like she couldn’t wait for us to leave). When we picked her up, it was clear that she missed her time with Alejandro.”
“Andy took great care of my puppy! Not easy with a 5 month old golden doodle, but Bixby had many walks and a backyard to spend this energy. It was a good experience for him to socialize with Andy’s daughter and other dogs he dogs sits.I appreciated the daily pictures and videos. We won’t hesitate to reach out again.”
“Chad and his wife went above and beyond to care for my senior dog who had significant health issues arise while I was away. They were very caring, professional, and communicative through it all. I felt so fortunate that she was in their care. I could not have asked for better care! They are truly amazing!”
“Great experience leaving Oliver with their family. The two of them were conscientious and considerate about understanding Oliver's needs and ensuring that I felt comfortable leaving him in their care while I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Oliver with them again!”
“Kamille was fantastic! I’m so glad Hershey stayed with her while I was out of town. She always shared pictures and videos and was very easy to get in touch with. Also, Kamille is very detailed oriented and I greatly appreciated the care she provided.”
“We all had such a good experience with Erin! Great communication, loved the pictures and Sherman had such a good time on their walks and outings. Highly recommend. Thank you so much, Erin!”
“Johanna was such a wonderful sitter for our dog Rylo. He can be a little nervous in new environments, but we felt like we were in expert hands with Johanna. She shared regular updates and photos and was so great to work with. Rylo already can’t wait to play with her again soon!”
“Jeneffer is so great! She has watched my dog Lucy many times now and we have always had a great experience. Jeneffer communicates promptly and is very trustworthy. I always know Lucy is in great hands. I love that it is a family affair and that there will always be people for my pup to be around. They have a beautiful house with a yard and Lucy is always so excited when she sees we're at Jeneffer's.”
“We are truly thankful to Michael for taking care of our dog while we traveled. She clearly had a great time and we appreciated the regular messages and photos of walks during her stay. Thanks Michael!”
“Austin and Majid took great care of our pup while we were away for a week. Our dog is a rescue with a history of some behavioral issues, and what drew us to them is that they were very comfortable and confident in taking care of pups with all kinds of temperaments. We appreciated the updates and felt great knowing she was safe and well-cared for.”
“Erika was wonderful - I highly recommend her with your furry members of the family. The little guys were happy and well cared for, one even looked like he was thinking about staying with her when we showed up!”
“Haydenn was an awesome sitter for our Bulldog! He was super communicative and accommodating even when our travel plans changed. We’ll definitely hire Haydenn again!”
“My active pug had a great stay with Colleen and family. I knew he was in great hands and they kept in touch with pics of Vinny and their lab Lily. Lucky to have found them!”
“We could not have asked for a better family to take care of Camden! They were so communicative and sent photos and videos multiple times a day. Camden got a ton of outside time and loved being with their dogs. Highly recommend and definitely will use again!”
“My sweet, shy little pup loved Meri from the first moment they met (which is very unusual for my dog). Meri did such a great job taking care of Lucy, keeping me updated by sending me pictures, and making Lucy feel at home. Our flight was delayed, and Meri was very responsive and flexible to our changing travel plans which put me at ease in a stressful situation. I highly recommend Meri!”

“Luisa was the perfect cat sitter while I was away for two weeks! She took great care of my (very attention-demanding) cat, including brushing and playing with him on top of making sure his food and litter needs were met. She sent adorable pictures the whole time so I knew he was in good hands, and when I got home, he was way more relaxed than he has ever been before after I'm away. Clearly he loved Luisa's visits :).”
“Elizabeth took great and attentive care of my cat Electra while I was out of town for a couple of days. Electra was coming of some minor issues and Elizabeth kept me well informed on Electra’s status (thankfully all continued to be well!).”
“Julianna was wonderful! She was very responsive to all my messages, and took great care of Darcy while I was away. 10/10, would definitely trust her to catsit again. 😊”
About: Hello! I'm Ellie and am available for occasional walking & drop-in visits. I love dogs and have been doing river for the last 5 years! I can also board and do doggy daycare (I do own a medium sized 10 year old Thurman as well but he loves new buddies!). I have 2 dog loving kids so for all boarding clients - dogs need to be kid-friendly. I love dogs - I will take them on long walks and plenty of playtime/pets! I've always loved dogs and used to volunteer with dogs at animal shelters and I used to work for a pet sitting company where I took care of all types of dogs and cats on the regular! Right now I welcome all sizes and I used to own large Goldens growing up :) Let me know if you have any questions! I am fully available right now for morning, afternoon and evening visits/walks. Weekly Monday through Friday (some weekends too). I love dogs and look forward to meeting furry friends!! I have an unfenced backyard but will keep any dog on a leash anytime we go outside. I will take them on walks around my neighborhood.
“Juna took great care of our cats while we were out of town for the holiday! She was very thorough in making sure she knew all the details to best care for our girls and was very communicative throughout her stay with pictures and updates along the way. Will definitely be booking again with her when we can!”
“Lynleigh has been a magnificent care giver for my cat Kara. Kara was very well taken care of and I was able to enjoy my vacation without concern for her care. Lynleigh has a Gift with animals. I recommend her highly and will use her again.”
“Michael dropped in every day for two weeks to play with a new kitten when I was at work. He was reliable, kind and overall great to work with, and a wonderful companion to my kitten friend. My kitten had a LOT of energy and Michael played with him using multiple toys/lures and fun techniques to help tire him out. He had a real attention to detail, heating the kitten's food to just the right temperature. :). (Thank you Michael!) I look forward to working with Michael again!”
“Karrah took excellent care of my cat Otis while I was away for a few days. Otis warmed up to her quickly and she sent me great updates with pictures. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for cat sitting!”
“Larquana went above and beyond in caring for my elderly cat, Toby, last weekend. From the moment she walked in the door to meet him, Toby wanted to be around Larquana. This was pretty surprising to me because Toby normally takes awhile to warm up to new people. Larquana handled Toby's complex meal and medicine routine with ease and gave Toby tons of cuddles and play time. Seeing photos of him happy and cared for made it possible for me to enjoy my holiday too. I highly recommend Larquana!”
“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.”
“Cynthia helped us out last minute, was incredibly responsive and took great care of Felix in our absence. I would definitely book her again and recommend her highly. Thank you Cynthia!”

“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”
“Brianne and her husband took great care of Birdie! We dropped her off for daycare on Saturday. They were extremely responsive and ensured a smooth transition for both drop off and pick up. Birdie came home happy and exhausted! They definitely made sure she was exercised and cared for.”
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since I was a child. I’ve owned an Airedale terrier, a pug, a Russian terrier, and my family currently has a Japanese spitz. I’ve got all sorts of experience - I have adopted a doggie from a shelter before, and I’ve also raised my two pups from 3 months old until they passed a few months ago at ages 14 and 16. I’ve boarded dogs - I looked after a friend’s pug for a week, a family friend’s elderly golden retriever, and fostered a stray my sister and I rescued before someone adopted her. I’ve taken road trips with multiple pets, and flown across the country with 3 of my dogs, I’ve taken them to all sorts of vet appointments, and been with them through all stages of their lives. I’m on this platform looking for company to heal from losing my furry friends, because being around dogs brings me peace and joy. I am a performing artist and I travel a lot for concerts, so having my own pet is unfortunately not feasible at the moment, hence I decided that taking care of someone else’s furry babies while I’m home between performances is the second best thing:) You can rest assured that I’ll take great pleasure in taking care of them and having them in my home. I work from home during the day and I am home from evening until morning, too. I do however step out for errands and appointments. Your dog will be with me most of the time while staying in my home, walked 2-3 times and fed on schedule, but should be comfortable being on its own for 2-3 hours max, if I have things to do. If your doggie has severe separation anxiety and is unable to be alone at all, I can accommodate that with enough notice and for 2x my normal nightly rate. I’ve always let my dogs run free around the house and make a safe space for them where they liked, but I did crate my rescue doggie when he first arrived to slowly acclimate him to the new place. Whatever you prefer for your dog is fine by me and I’m happy to accommodate. I don’t have a yard, but I have plenty of green areas nearby where I’d walk your furry pal. I keep my dogs on leash at all times. I like training them and playing with them to give them some mental stimulation, but if they prefer to chill and not be bothered I’m cool with that as well

About: I have loved animals all my life and grew up surrounded by cats, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I have a calm and positive energy that helps me connect with animals, and I enjoy playing with them as much as keeping them safe and comfortable. I’m patient, caring, and responsible, always paying attention to each pet’s unique needs. In my free time, I enjoy reading, which also means I’m happy to spend quiet moments with pets who like calm company. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to manage my time easily and dedicate attention to pet care. This way, I can adapt my routine around the pets’ needs, whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I have experience caring for dogs in the home of friends and family, and I naturally connect with animals. I pay close attention to their needs, whether they want affection, playtime, or simply some space to relax. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable, keeping their routines consistent and giving them plenty of love and care.
“Grette was super with our little pup for Doggy Day Care -- she knows just what your pup needs and she took our very active 6 month old pup for a long walk so he was really chill when he came home.”
“Diana did an excellent job watching my dog. She asked about his likes and dislikes beforehand and was good at communicating drop-off and pick-up. She kept him entertained throughout the day with games of fetch and walks. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“Verde had a wonderful time with Rene. When we pulled up the next day she couldn’t wait to get out of the car and greet them. They kept me well updated. We’re definitely using them again.”
“Our puppy Cody had an amazing day at Stephanie and Shaun’s today, and I would recommend them very highly to anyone who needs boarding or sitting services. Cody got to run around and play in a beautiful yard with their family and dogs. He was very well looked after. Stephanie and Shaun were very responsive and communicative, lots of pics and updates. They saved the day by taking a same day booking request for a last minute trip. I will book them again!”
About: I’ve had a dog for over 10 years, from a baby to an adult I have experience with it all. I feel like our pets are the babies we didn’t have but always needed! I am available full time, weekdays and weekends! I have a very flexible schedule, feel free to message me if you have any questions and I’ll get back to you with 1-2hrs. I am a very nurturing type of pet mom, I prefer pets that are trained so we can spend more time having fun! It is just me in my home, I do have any pets in my home. I do have wood floors but carpet in my room. I like to go for walks around the neighborhood, play, give treats, but always make time for their naps lol! I am big on scheduling, when it comes to meals, and walks I know some animals have a strict routine and like to follow that.
“Fitz came home from her daycare stay with Amanda and Andrew so happy and ready for a nap! Amanda has been so easy to communicate with, and hosted us for a brief meet and greet before Fitz’s first stay. She asked lots of great questions about how to keep Fitz safe and happy, and drop-off/pick-up were a breeze. We so appreciate the peace of mind knowing our little girl is being treated like family. Amanda also sent pictures during the day so we could see our pup living her best life. We (and especially Fitz) can’t wait until next time!”
“Juliet was very accommodating to my work schedule. She kept me informed with pictures and how Remi was doing throughout the day. She is caring, kind and sweet and will make sure your pup is taken great care of.”
“Michael does such a great job watching Sully, and I always feel very comfortable leaving her with him! Sully always returns happy and tired from a long day of playing and attention - highly recommend Michael!”
“Chad and Regina were very accommodating and flexible in helping tend to my pup’s first dog sit. Feeling at ease to leave her in their good hands in the future!”
“Caleb was absolutely fantastic with my pup Avi, who, at 15, is very sweet but can be a bit stubborn. But he took to Caleb immediately, following behind him with his tail a-wagging! In addition to being so great with my dog, Caleb was incredibly responsive, polite, and had great energy.”
“Josefa took special care of Indy and treated him with lots of love! She was very quick at responding to me and sent lots of pictures. I would definitely book again with her!”

About: For years, my son had a Rover account and we hosted dogs at our house and walked dogs in the neighborhood, and of course took care of our own dog (Hunter) who is 15 yo now ... Now the kids are grown and launched and I'm ready to get for nice brisk neighborhood walks with folks' dogs (one at a time ;-) I'm a recently retired attorney (55 yo) who loves dogs and loves getting out and about for walks! I generally have mid-day time to get out for a walk or two in the Chevy Chase or Silver Spring area. I am only walking dogs for now (not hosting), but have a nice 15 yo dog at home and have walked and cared for many dogs when my (now grown) son had an account.
“Yee was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet and thoughtful—she even got Bailey a bandana and made him homemade chicken and sweet potato treats 🥹. She spent so much time cuddling and playing with him, and it was clear he felt comfortable and loved. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We would 100% book with her again!”
