“This was our first time using Rover, and Kelly and Maurice made sure it was a great experience for us. We could see in the daily photos and videos we received from them that our dog, Jazz, was very comfortable with their family and pets. Knowing Jazz was being well cared for and loved warmed my heart and allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. We'll definitely seek their services again in the near future.”

Thank you so much—will definitely book again!”

“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!”

“Everything was great! She took such a great care of my 3dogs including a puppy and daily pictures and video clip helped us a lot! I will bring my dogs to Shuling again!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Pax had another fun time staying with Denise and Andy. He couldn’t wait to get into her home when we arrived and scratched at the door to get in. I will definitely try to rebook with her in the future.”
“This Tiko’s second time staying with Yousef and we couldn’t be happier, they are communicative and always send pics. Tiko is always happy when he returns and there is little to no anxiety. I can tell that he truly enjoys his time there!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zulma. From the moment I walked into her house she made me feel completely at ease about leaving my dogs in her care. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”
“Carlie and her family could not have been more loving and attentive. Arlo probably wanted to live there forever. She was incredibly kind about a mistake I made on pick up time.”

“Aaron and Tia will forever be my go to person for pet-sitting. I have a 4 month old French bulldog and he seems to be at home with them and I love how they communicate and send videos and pictures of my fur baby while I'm away. They definitely are educated about pets and what is needed, because they educated me about how to train my puppy. They are very welcoming and family/pet oriented.”
“Estela did a great job looking after Jack while I was away. She frequently sent pics and closely watched and attended to him that enabled his small tail wound to heal without wearing a cone all day. She treated Jack as one of her own.”
“Michelle could not have been more amazing! She sent us daily updates with pictures of our Sulley, which put our mind at ease. She made the entire process so simple and so flexible with arrival and departure times. We had an out of state funeral and we had so much going on...Michelle was beyond kind and I’m certain that Sulley can’t wait to return! Thank you again Michelle!”

“Kelly was absolutely amazing!!! Constant communication and lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Will definitely book with her again if needed.”
About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care under my belt, I've honed a deep understanding of both canine and feline needs. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts—and from curious kittens to laid-back lap cats—I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. As a dog and cat owner myself, I’ve also supported a pup with aggression issues through his stressful times, giving me valuable experience in patience, awareness, and calm handling. My background includes administering medications, maintaining clean and comfortable litter boxes, and providing specialized care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. Trust me to bring expertise and genuine affection to every walk, cuddle, and visit with your furry family members. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, with availability after my 8-4 job Monday through Friday, and all day on weekends. I'm dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care that complements your schedule and ensures your pets are happy and well-looked after. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring consistency with their regular routine. I also provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime, maintaining open communication with you to keep you updated on your pet's well-being.
“We had a wonderful experience with Jake, who stopped by twice to care for our three cats and did an amazing job! Communication was excellent throughout, and he was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about our cats’ well-being. We would absolutely trust Jake again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and trustworthy pet care.”
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I love their unique personalities and the trust that comes with building a bond with them. During my time at PetSmart, I often spent my free moments in the adoption center socializing with the cats and helping them feel comfortable. I also have a cat of my own, Luna, whom I adopted nearly three years ago. She may be a little sassy at times, but she’s incredibly sweet and loving. Caring for cats has taught me how important patience, understanding, and attention to detail are when it comes to making them feel safe and happy. Whether your cat is playful, shy, energetic, or independent, I’ll provide personalized care and treat them like family.
“Jessica was very responsible and extremely caring and hands-on with our senior cat (and hamster too). She did several check-ins a day and spent many overnights which requires a high level of trust and Jessica went above and beyond. She communicated constantly with updates, pictures and videos (seriously, top-notch communication) and she left our home in perfect condition. Our animals took right to her and I am grateful to have found someone so kind and committed.”
About: I provide calm, gentle, and attentive care for cats in the comfort of their own home. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take a patient approach and allow them to warm up at their own pace. My cat care includes feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, companionship, and detailed updates for pet parents. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or affectionate, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away.
“Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.”
“Faith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogs—even administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We weren’t sure how many drop-ins we’d need or how long we’d be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had many different pets growing up ever since I was born! I have walked, fed, bathed, and taken care of many pets in my life as well as my own growing up. I am currently unemployed but am still looking for a part time job, so in the meantime I am very flexible and available to take care of your pets every day of the week including weekends! I have two big furry dogs that love to play so I go play with them outside as well as take them to the park when it’s nice out!
About: I have experience caring for cats of different personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent. I’m trusted by friends and family to feed, clean litter boxes, and spend quality time with their cats to keep them comfortable while they’re away. I pay close attention to routines and behavior, making sure each cat feels safe and stress-free in their own space. I’m gentle, patient, and truly enjoy building trust with every cat I care for.
“Mary is a wonderful cat sitter and would fully recommend. She took care of our cats over the Christmas holiday while our family was traveling. Great communication and pictures that helped keep us up to date on how our cats were doing. Additionally, Mary helped put us at ease when we had encountered some issues while traveling back home as there was a potential for our flight being cancelled due to operational issues with the airlines. Mary was willing to potentially watch our cats for an extra day or two and even offered to do so for free if it came to it. Luckily we made it back in time, but knowing we had Mary as a fallback was a great relief. Again, amazing cat sitter and highly recommend!”

“I recently adopted Daisey and wasn't sure how she would do in daycare. Lindsay did an excellent job of caring for her and helped Daisey to settle into a new environment and enjoy the experience. She regularly sent me updates and photos of Daisey which helped put my mind at ease. Lindsay provided excellent care and I will definitely use her services again.”

I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest time, medication instructions if needed, and any special care notes provided by the pet parent. Before boarding, I like to learn about each pet’s personality, behavior, comfort level, triggers, and routine so I can make sure my home is a good fit.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now, through my friends, family, neighbors and my own 2 puppies!

However, I’m a college student now, who lives an hour away from home, but I’m back for weekends and have plenty of free time to care for pets! I provide a safe, fun environment for pets. I have a fenced yard for running around outside, and two friendly dogs who would love to make friends! I closely supervise pets and will follow all instructions/special requests strictly from owners!

“Ashley was great! We were here in the area traveling in our RV visiting the DC area. We wanted someone to come walk and feed Rascal so we could spend a full day exploring downtown DC and the surrounding area. Ashley covered for us every day. Rascal is not used to spending long periods of time alone so Ashley was a blessing. She fed him and took him on a long walk every visit. We felt so good to know Rascal was being cared for by Ashley. She was also flexible with our schedule. We will call on her again if we return to the DC area which is very likely next year. Our daughter has a job offer in DC next year and we will likely visit and stay in this same area.”
“Sarah has been a life saver. My wife and I just moved to Deale and were worried about finding someone to help walk our 7 year old Boston terrier during the day. Sarah came over the day we moved in for an introduction and started walking him the next day. She always sends photos and keeps us in the loop. 10/10 would recommend Sarah!”
“Jake was amazing. He helped me out with little notice and was so kind and sweet to my dog Skye. He not only played and walked with her he took time just to sit and pet her. He is a gem and we will be calling him again!”

We have 4 sons and she is always attached to our 3rd sons hip. We also rescued a beautiful cat, Misaki, who is now 1 1/2. My youngest son begged us for her and she has claimed me. She is the most sweetest thing and loves to cuddle. She follows me everywhere which we should have named her Shadow. If I could bring all the animals into my home I truly would! Myself and my youngest boys ages 13 & 12 would love to care for your animals as we would our own! I’m currently a homeschool mom for I’m very flexible. I work part time but I’m available at anytime. I will make sure your babies are well taken care of! I am available three times a day for services and anytime you need your babies needs met. If they need play time we can do that or even just a belly rub after dinner :)

“Being as though this was first experience reserving a pet sitter, Mady was fantastic. Very patient, plenty of communication and photos of my pupson. Very happy with our choice and I look forward to working with Mady in the future.”
“Our dog truly enjoyed his stay with Donna & Brian! We appreciated their willingness to do a last minute boarding request for us, the picture updates, and support in extending our booking when we accidentally did it incorrectly 😅 also super helpful that they provide crates so you don’t have to bring your own! Thank you so much—will definitely book again!”
“Lindsay was great, as well as her family. She provided pictures and responded quickly with any questions. I would definitely recommend and use her in the future! You can leave your pet without worry!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Pax had another fun time staying with Denise and Andy. He couldn’t wait to get into her home when we arrived and scratched at the door to get in. I will definitely try to rebook with her in the future.”
“Carlie and her family could not have been more loving and attentive. Arlo probably wanted to live there forever. She was incredibly kind about a mistake I made on pick up time.”
“We called Bianca a few hours if that prior to a spontaneous trip. She graciously accepted and took care of our dog wonderfully. Her daughter walked our dog and was great too! We will be contacting Bianca for any future trips! Highly recommended!”
“Aaron and Tia will forever be my go to person for pet-sitting. I have a 4 month old French bulldog and he seems to be at home with them and I love how they communicate and send videos and pictures of my fur baby while I'm away. They definitely are educated about pets and what is needed, because they educated me about how to train my puppy. They are very welcoming and family/pet oriented.”
“Marta has become our go-to day care provider and boarder, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found her. Our dog, Miss Charlie, has stayed with Marta approximately five times now, including the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Each time, Charlie has had a fantastic experience. This last time included a wonderfully special Thanksgiving meal featuring turkey and sweet potatoes! As an overly protective dog mom, finding someone who cares for your pup as much as you do can be challenging. However, I can confidently say that Marta loves our dog just as much as we do. We have complete trust in her, and her professional-quality pictures not only keep us informed but also make us miss our pup even more—they are so cute! If you're in search of an exceptional sitter for your pup, look no further. Marta is, without a doubt, the best choice. We highly 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!”
“Loki's stay with Giovanni & Vanessa was beyond what we could imagine. We truly enjoyed getting to know them during our meet and greet and seeing how Loki connected with them. Loki was spoiled with love, attention and bits of training. We recieved daily updates of Loki and we really enjoyed the videos. We would definitely book with them again as it was obvious Loki had lots of fun and felt comfortable with them. Thanks so much Giovanni & Vanessa you guys are awesome!”
“Christian is always soo sweet and takes care of our 2 doggies so well! They always look forward to going to see her!!! We have used daycare and boarding with Christian and the doggies leave happy and healthy!”
“As tempting as it is to gatekeep Miss Kimberly..CAN’T DO IT SHE IS AMAZING! After my Rover sitter canceled on me last minute, I was scrambling to find a good quality sitter for Roman. Immediately I was welcomed with open arms by Miss Kimberly. She really made it feel like a family member was taking care of my dog. She is very attentive, kept me updated daily multiple times a day, and was very thorough with explaining to me every detail of what his experience will be while he stayed with her & safety precautions she takes. They have a beautiful yard and plenty of space in their home for my house hippo. Roman immediately bonded with her husband too, who was also very welcoming and kind. She has bumped up to my #1 Rover sitter ⭐️”
“Kiki was amazing with my corgi pup, Mushu! She's a true professional and kept me updated every day with adorable photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind during Mushu's first extended boarding stay. It was clear that Mushu was happy, well cared for, and having a great time. Mushu and I can't wait to book with Kiki again!”
About: Hi pet parents. My name is Helen, I'm 42 and single with a 2 year old miniature pinscher. Chase attends Dogwood Acres daycare once a week and loves other dogs. He has a great time playing with his "cousin" who is a 50lb Ozzy Doodle. Chase loves to play, we go on 2-3 walks per day in our neighborhood. I also have a huge fully fenced backyard and a she shed to warm up in. I work from home a few days a week I walk my dog 2x per day. My dog is neutered and loves playing with other dogs. I have a fully wood fenced yard and an air conditioned “she shed” for dogs to hang out in. My home is dog friendly and full of dog toys.
“Brittany and family were amazing with our pups! Daily status updates with pictures and on everyone I can just tell they had a blast. Will DEFINITELY be booking again!!”
“As always, Branden did a wonderful job with my dog. Sage is older and has a new medical condition, so I was naturally a little nervous about leaving her. Branden was incredibly attentive—carefully monitoring her symptoms, making sure she received her medications on time, and keeping me updated on how she was doing. He even gave her a bath after noticing snow melt on her paws from their walk, which I really appreciated. I always feel at ease leaving Sage because I know she’s in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Chris was awesome! He provided regular communication and updates. He also treated my pet like his own. It was clear that Chris gave Ziggy great care and attention. Thanks!”
“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.”
