“I can’t recommend Zulu enough! She took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She was so attentive and sent updates, making sure my furry baby felt happy and comfortable the entire time. I’ll definitely reach out to her again the next time I need a sitter.”
“The love and care Lynette and Vincent show my pup each time he’s there is truly unmatched. They are the best and treat my pup as if he’s one of their own!”
“Lillian's home was a perfect set up for Betsy - puppy sleepover! Big backyard to run around in, with a tall fence and a couple of new friends. My kids watched the Betsy videos Lillian sent us over and over through the weekend. The next time we need a place for Betsy to stay, we will definitely first check to see if Lillian is available!”
“Corey is a great resource on Rover! He took our request last minute and was really courteous, attentive, and professional. He kept us updated while we were away with messages and pictures everyday. We will definitely be using Corey's services again.”
“Diego, was great caring for our fur babies during our vacation. He communicated with us everyday and provided photos and. videos of our babies enjoying themselves. They appeared to he enjoy him and his roommate. Our babies are spoiled at home and we can tell they received the same attention as if they were home. We really appreciated this. He provided them space both indoors and outdoors for them to run and have as much playtime as the needed. Diego understood their mealtime and gave Apollo extra attention so he would eat as he is normally not a good eater. They Loved hanging out with his puppy CoCo and they all seemed to get a long great. We don’t trust anyone else watching our babies but Diego! Thank you so much for treating our babies like family.”
“Branden was a superb caretaker for my Belgian Malinois. I am especially grateful that Branden responded patiently and graciously to my dog’s separation anxiety. Branden’s demeanor is calm and friendly which certainly helped my dog adjust. Branden is highly professional and knowledgeable. Branden sent me text message and video updates which I greatly appreciated. He went the extra mile by offering high quality treats, plenty of exercise, and general TLC. I highly recommend Branden!”
“Kelly and Maurice are a home away from home for our pup. Thank you for always taking such good care of our Lola Pearl. You and your family help are a godsend.”
“Aaron and Tia are hands down the best ever. They are super friendly loves dogs and I can’t even thank them enough how they have helped me in last minute dog sitting but just the care they show with my dog. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter that just loves animals Aaron and Tia are your people this is my second time and they are 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You won't go wrong”
“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.”
“I recently had a last-minute Fourth of July trip, and Tamara graciously accepted my booking request on very short notice. Not only did she care for my oldest dog, but she also welcomed my youngest, who can be a bit of a handful. With patience and kindness, Tamara gave both of my girls exceptional care. She allowed my youngest the freedom to adjust at her own pace and, amazingly, helped her become comfortable around cats for the very first time! I never would have imagined she could calmly interact with one, but Tamara made it happen. Throughout their stay, Tamara maintained excellent communication and sent me plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also has a wonderful family who helped shower my girls with love and attention, making them feel right at home. Tamara is responsible, attentive, compassionate, and truly caring. She goes above and beyond, and she is worth her weight in gold. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. My girls will absolutely be back when I’m in town! ❤️”
“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!”
“Very reliable. Melonie did outstanding in caring for Fitz. She made sure i see pictures daily. She became a 2nd Mom to Fitz; no adjustment needed when we dropped him off and he was happy and content when we picked him up. He’s normally anxious in change of environment but he really felt a home with Melonie and her household. No issues at all in our previous and current visits.”
“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!”
“Mark provided exceptional care for Cayde. From the moment I dropped him off, Mark ensured my peace of mind, assuring me that my dog was in capable hands. I greatly appreciated the regular updates via pictures and videos. The video capturing Cayde playing in the snow is particularly heartwarming. Upon Cayde’s return home, I could discern that he had an unforgettable experience. Mark’s genuine concern for the dogs he watches is evident. I am confident in utilizing Mark’s services for Cayde 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.
“Jayla deserves more than 5 stars. She responded fast, was friendly and attentive to my Prince. I had to have emergency surgery and couldn’t care for Prince. Knowing he was being cared for helped me to be able to focus on healing. I will definitely use Jayla again”
“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.”
“My wife and I are first-time users of Rover, and Ms. Kimberly B. performed above and beyond our expectations. She kept us up to date with texts, pics, and video regarding our pet's status and condition. In short, she was an outstanding sitter and keeper. Well Done Ms. K. ---Dr. & Mrs. M.”

“Bessie was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! She communicated so well and made us feel super comfortable leaving our animals in her care. Would 100% book again!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life! I adopted my first dog, Beth, in 2015 when she was just 14 weeks old, and I trained her myself. During the pandemic, I adopted my second dog, Buz, at 8 months old who had aggression and resource guarding issues. Because of them both, I am very watchful of dog behaviors and am not afraid of big barks! I know training basics and am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes! I am a teacher in SE DC, so during the school year, my availability is primarily evenings and weekends. During the summer, my availability is very open! I am very attentive and respectful of others homes, dogs, and instructions. Knowing that my own dogs take a minute to warm up to someone new, I will be sure to follow specific routines or guidance given! Your home will remain as it was when I enter!
“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!”
“Great help, Anh really helped put my mind at ease while I was away, and helping with the dogs was a big deal. She was very attentive and reliable on time and had attention to detail. I will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend”
“Savannah did a great job with my kittens. She took the time to play with them and they really enjoyed her check-ins. I would definitely rebook with her in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of several pets since I was young. I had several dogs and cats (sometimes at the same time!). I love walking and playing with dogs, I’ve trained my puppy. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I have also taken care of kittens and adult cats. I have litter trained kittens and played with them often. I currently work full time, but am more than happy to watch your fur baby on my days off! I have days off where I have no plans and would love to spend it with more dogs or with your cat! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.
“Jada And Nazir are two amazing people. They were very personable and communicated effectively. I booked them for drop in services and they were on time and thorough.”
“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. 🤗”
About: I have experience caring for both adult cats and kittens. I owned two cats and helped care for my female cat throughout her pregnancy, labor, and recovery while also raising her three kittens from birth until they were rehomed. This gave me hands-on experience with newborn kitten care, monitoring growth and development, feeding, cleaning, socialization, and creating a safe environment for both mother and babies. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, whether they’re playful, independent, shy, or affectionate. I provide patient, attentive care and will treat your cat like one of my own while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
“Erica was great with our cat. She was very responsive and helpful. She went above and beyond, e.g. by also bringing the mail inside and stopping by for an additional, next-day visit. Would definitely recommend her and work with her again. Thank you, Erica!”
“While I didn’t actually get to meet Edmond and Nafis, they were very easy and pleasant to work with. They were also accommodating when my trip got unexpectedly extended. I got detailed summaries of each visit and lots of pictures which always puts my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking them again in the future.”
“Megan was amazing with my little kitten! It was my first time leaving her since I adopted her so I was a bit anxious about it, but I got so many pictures and updates that it really put my mind at ease. Megan was also very responsive and made the whole process super easy. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I've always had a special connection with cats, as they tend to gravitate towards me even when they're shy. As someone who embodies black cat energy I understand trust is earned, not forced. I respect every cat's boundaries, letting them set the pace. My job is to provide a calm, low-stress environment where they can feel safe and cozy. Whether your cat wants to play, cuddle, or just lounge in the sun, I'm happy to meet them where they are.
“Cynthia was an amazing support for me! I had never left my two 1 year old cats alone before, and she made me feel so comfortable. Not only did she walk me through everything I needed to sort out before I left, she checked in throughout the week and sent lots of pictures of the boys doing their favorite activities. Will definitely use her again!”
“Vivi helped me on short notice! She exhibited genuine concern for my animals and was quick to communicate. I truly appreciate her caring and confidence. I have no doubts that I will use her in the future.”
“Mya did a great job checking in on my cats! She made sure they were well fed and sent me pictures of them (when they would actually come out lol). I would definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone in the area that needs a good pet sitter.”

“Sasha was welcomed and enjoyed every moment with his Melissa and two fur babies. I highly recommend Melissa. She was understanding of my hectic schedule. Truly appreciated. Make me comfortable and reassuring with effective communication and pictures!! Amazing job! She want to come back already.”
About: As a woman In her 40s, in addition to growing up with a German Shepard/Husky mix, I’ve had years of experience with dogs. In 2019, My daughter & I added a new addition to our family which is known as Our Chihuahua Mellow 🎀! With that being said, I have experience with pups ranging in Age, Breed & Size. I work part-time , so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’d prefer any bookings with atleast a 2-3 day notice so I can adjust my schedule and take care of your fur babies to the best of my abilities! 🐶 I have a Fenced in backyard that allows the dogs to play on a Safe & confined space. I also have a large crate if needed.
“My baby Titan had a great time with TayShawn and her family. He was all tuckered out when he got home from playing. I would definitely use her again. Thank you for loving on our baby like one of your own”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and it ignited my passion to become a veterinarian—something I’m currently diving into with excitement! I adore animals like they’re my new best friends, and working with all sorts of creatures has filled my heart since I was a little girl. Now, getting the opportunity to do what I love feels like a dream come true! I’ve had incredible experiences grooming pets, administering medicine, and ensuring their daily needs are met—each moment is an adventure! I even got certified as a canine attendant, which was an amazing milestone for me! Plus, it’s not just me; my whole family joins in on the fun with pet sitting! If you ever worry about your furry baby when they’re in my care, put those fears aside! We are all passionate about providing love, respect, and the very best care for every furbaby we encounter. We’re dedicated to making tails wag and hearts happy! 😊 I’m currently a college student so having a routine for myself and my fur baby is a must in my books! I love to experience meeting new personalities with animals as I do people. Although I am young (I like to hang out with my friends of course) I still try to insert my pet into my fun through a safe manner. With me, there’s always room for a fur baby to tag along and enjoy themselves as much as they can. My family consists of a lot of kids and puppies so whenever your pet is here they are always on the go. I try to keep your fur baby as active as possible especially if they’re a high energy baby. Just know your baby is gonna be living a dream life in my care!
“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!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 12 years now! I am very loving, dependable and attentive. I provide a safe, nurturing and fun environment. I currently am not working right now , so I do have a lot of free time to care for pets and spend time with them!! I treat every pet like my own. The environment is very safe and there is a lot of grass areas to walk and run around!
About: Recently married and paying off bills! If you have animal needs, I'm your girl! I've had cats and dogs my whole life. All kinds of breeds-mostly huge ones🤣 husky, chow, labs. I currently swap pet care with a neighbor, so I figured why not sign up for Rover! She said she used to do it, and she enjoyed Rover. It gives me a dopamine boost every time I get to see the fur babies. I'll treat them just as my own. I work from home, so with enough notice, I can make time to make runs out to care of your pets! I am in Temple Hills - very nearby is easiest. I usually immediately let out the dogs or walk the dogs. Then I feed them. While they are eating, I will do whatever needs to be done such as filling water bowls, cleaning up messes, etc. Then once they are done, I give lots of hugs or play depending on the doggie needs. Some dogs just want to sit under my feet and sleep while I'm at the counter or some dogs have all the energy in the world. Cats tend to just be cats 🤣 I had a cat that requires injections, so long as the dog or cat tolerates, I can do shots, oral or topical meds.
“Anthony did an amazing job taking care of Mr. Brown. He is attentive, reliable, and clearly passionate about dogs. Mr. Brown was happy and well-cared-for, and I look forward to using Anthony again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“This was my puppy’s first time at doggy daycare, and Jayla was amazing! She made me feel completely comfortable, kept me updated throughout the day, and sent plenty of photos. My pup had a great time playing and socializing with another puppy. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — highly recommend!”
“Danielle is great with Diggy. She keeps me updated during his stay and also send pictures. I truly appreciate her in taking care of my fur baby. Thank you, Danielle and you are greatly appreciated!!!”
“Nisha was great when she greeted us at the door. Immediately Bash saw the other dogs and got so excited. Nisha kept me informed on Bash’s progress all day with pictures. Love how she was so on point. I’ll definitely will be using Nisha again.”
About: I had a dog named Buddy that I loved deeply for 16 years. Buddy passed away two years ago and it has been difficult moving on without him.I am looking for opportunities to dogsit for companionship and an excuse to be more active. I have dogsat for family many times and have experience caring for a range of ages and breeds. I am most familiar with caring for senior dogs. I work fully remote and will be able to be with your baby throughout the day. Please consider me you new sitter! Pet care fits into my daily routine, since I work from home, I’m able to take care of the dog during the day and night. I typically wake up pretty early and keep a regimented schedule throughout the day. I make sure the dog is walked. I make sure that I spend a little time playing with them if they’re older dogs and I spend a little time rubbing them or petting them. Some dogs don’t like all of that so you really have to pay attention to what type of dog you’re getting. Luckily I love all dogs so it’s all fun for me.
“SABRINA! Is the best sitter I have had using Rover, she welcomed my baby with open arms and even offered additional services out of the kindness of her heart. My furbaby made new friends, and that part was the highlight of her services. I've even booked for her boarding services as Snipa is very comfortable with her. Thank you Sabrina, looking forward to continuing to work together!!”
“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.”
“I had a last minute event come up and needed a next day sitter for Coco. Roxsand was very accommodating though it was last minute. She adjusted her schedule for us even though I was at her house at 6am. Roxsand also sent several photos of Coco throughout the day. I'm very appreciative of her time, care and professionalism and Coco looks forward to coming back very soon for more fun! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Latoya is great! Arlo loves his stay with her and her pups ! She is very observant and keeps you up to date via photos and videos of them in walks and relaxing at home! I love watching them hang out and it definitely keeps me at ease while I’m at work ! Arlo usually does not want to leave his friends and is sleepy once he gets home!”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I provide more than just walks — I provide safe, loving, and attentive care tailored to every pup’s unique personality and needs. My background includes fostering dogs, working in a professional dog boarding facility, volunteering in animal shelters, and gaining experience in an animal hospital setting, which has given me the skills to confidently care for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. As a dedicated fur mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog like family and focus on creating a comfortable, stress-free, and fun experience while you’re away. Whether your pup needs extra patience, structured care, medication support, playtime, or simply lots of love and attention, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. I pride myself on reliability, communication, and building genuine bonds with both pets and owners. Your dog’s well-being will always be my top priority. My schedule is structured to make sure every dog in my care gets the time, attention, exercise, and consistency they deserve. I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday from 4 PM–12 AM, so on those days I’m available for morning and noon visits, walks, drop-ins, feedings, potty breaks, and quality playtime before heading to work. Friday through Sunday, I have open availability and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and nighttime care as needed. I always try to be flexible and communicate clearly with pet parents so I can provide the best care possible for each dog’s routine and individual needs. With my years of hands-on experience working with dogs in boarding facilities, shelters, fostering, and animal hospitals, I understand how important reliability, patience, and personalized care are for both pets and owners. When caring for pets in their homes, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is different, so I tailor my care to each pet’s specific needs, routine, and personality. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication, cuddles, or giving extra patience to anxious pets, I make sure your fur baby receives the same love and attention they’re used to at home. During walks and pet sitting visits, I focus on safety, communication, and making sure your pet is happy, exercised, and well cared for every step of the way.
“This is our first time working with Michael, and he was absolutely excellent, incredibly responsive, and prompt for every walk. My pet Romeo is a senior Yorkie, and his needs are simple, but he is very old now. Michael was incredibly gentle and took his time on walks with Romeo. Sent real time updates and photos. I’m always grateful for highly communicative walkers and people who care about my pet.”
About: Cat papi Trav. Good for watching after your little fluff of love while you’re out enjoying yourself. Avid pet lover, but have a soft spot for cats Work from home so I have time to sneak in belly rubs and ear scratches throughout the day. If your cat/dog isn’t the most social we car look at each other from the across the room. I have a 2 bed room condo. Enough space for all to enjoy themselves. A nice park for the walks, and nice windows for the cats to peer into the outside world.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 6 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years I’ve cared for multiple family dogs, including my own dog since 2019, my mom’s two dogs, and my husband’s dog. I also cared for my two cats and helped raise their three kittens from birth until they were rehomed. I’ve been an animal lover since my first dog at the age of 2. I’ve always been loving and playful with them and when they misbehaved i’d only cage them temporarily so they know what they did was wrong without popping the dog. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and providing companionship for pets ranging from young animals to seniors. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care is currently my primary focus, which allows me to provide flexible and reliable care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication reminders, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to follow their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. Before care begins, I take time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions. During visits and walks, I remain attentive to their needs and surroundings, ensuring they receive proper care, exercise, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I respect both your pet and your home as if they were my own and believe in maintaining open communication through updates and photos. My goal is to create a positive, safe, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
About: Since growing up at a young age, I’ve always had a pet by my side and now that I love daily unconditionally. If there is one thing I can teach them is to get along with others animals as well as people. My patience and understanding will keep them thriving and healthy. I only want to give them more than they need. I am available 5 days of the week to care for your pet, including the weekend if needed! After all, someone has to be there for them. No pet under my supervision has ever been in harms way. I have a big cage with food and water. Pet toys, cleaning supplies, and pet proof items to keep them safe.
“I couldn't ask for a better person to walk my pup Ollie. This was our first time trying out Rover so we didn't know what to expect and Erick gave us comfort the first day we've met him. 10/10, very patient and communicates quick when we have a question about anything relating to Ollie.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising and training a Cocker Spaniel, a Pitbull Terrier, and a Rottweiler from puppyhood into their senior years, my goal is to provide patient and dependable care tailored to your pet's unique personality.

I currently work full-time in Alexandria, VA, but I work remotely on Mondays and Wednesdays. I do have open availability on weekends, and I am available to board throughout the weekend into Monday. My care is tailored to the individual needs of every animal. My apartment complex is incredibly pet-friendly with a large area right outside my unit for long walks and playtime. We also have a grooming station in case your fur baby needs a little TLC before going home.

“Tia is awesome with Ziggy. In just 1 week, Ziggy has gotten used to her coming through the door. And sits and waits for her. This has been a lifesaver for us. We will continue to have Tia around as long as she will have us.”
“Alejandra is amazing, she treats the dogs as if they were her own and has been super flexible for when the dogs need a walk. Definitely would recommend anyone looking for someone to walk their Alejandra is there girl.”

About: Hello there! My name is Romon, you can also call me Griz. I suppose my friends see me as the momma or papa bear of the group haha. Anyway I've been taking care of my friend's, family's, and of course personal 'furry best friends'. I have a background in personal training and fitness. Never really ran into a dog that didn't like or respect me at least after the first couple treats or games I was able to play with them. Recently lost two friends one moved away the other, Sasha; a poodle mix of 12 years, passed away I was luckily able to spend more time with her during 2020 before she had to go. Her memories are still with me and I know many are back to work and wish they could spend more time with their newest pups. We can work together to make sure they're, well taken care of, and I just wanted to help out and lessen the load of watching over these wonderful epitomes of joy and energy. I've walked, sitted, played with, slept besides, and even cleaned up after all sorts of dogs from puppyhood to very senior dogs, 10lbs to 100+lbs believe it or not, can't seem to get a break from them, which I don't mind! Lastly I hope to get to know your fuzzy yet amazing family members on a professional and even better, personal level. Feel free to message for any questions I pay very close attention to any special instructions. I've recently found great streams of income im able to maintain at home while working on my online degree Fortunately my major for the 3rd semester in a row is online only. My schedule is pretty open and flexible so I wanted to make the most of my situation and again the main thing is to help out new or out of practice pet owners. Im free at all hours of day and night outside of a select few evenings where I train clients to achieve their fitness goals. Mostly online so feel free to reach out and schedule with me if youd like recurring services. We'll make it work. Im a capable and loving pet owner that doesn't mind breaking a sweat. I would love to keep your fur baby busy AND happy whether its a small walk with portable water bowls, at home self made doggy puzzles to keep their minds sharp and busy, even if I am tired, for those longer sessions. I have access and experience to great doggy parks equipped with fencing and great walking areas, and lots of car space for those longer trips or incase of an emergency where I have to safely transfer your fluffy children quickly. I have a lot of experience to share and rely on too much to list here but go ahead and quiz me at Fanaticallymotivated email on google for those of you new or unsure of my services with the Rover service provider. I hope to work with you both and take care of any worries.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I understand that every pet has its own personality, so I always take the time to learn their routines and preferences. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also attentive to safety and will always make sure your pet is secure, happy, and supervised. I treat every pet like they’re my own. When you book with me, you can expect reliable and caring service. I will: - Follow your pet’s routine and instructions carefully - Provide plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise -Send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing -Make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind and make sure your pet has a fun and stress-free experience. I live in an apartment with a very friendly dog. I have 2 roommates that also love animals as much as I. My #1 goal is to ensure safety for your pets and comfortably for your sake and theirs!
About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.

“Marla did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Caramel. She sent photos and videos, which really gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Marla and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
“Lillian's home was a perfect set up for Betsy - puppy sleepover! Big backyard to run around in, with a tall fence and a couple of new friends. My kids watched the Betsy videos Lillian sent us over and over through the weekend. The next time we need a place for Betsy to stay, we will definitely first check to see if Lillian is available!”
“Branden was a superb caretaker for my Belgian Malinois. I am especially grateful that Branden responded patiently and graciously to my dog’s separation anxiety. Branden’s demeanor is calm and friendly which certainly helped my dog adjust. Branden is highly professional and knowledgeable. Branden sent me text message and video updates which I greatly appreciated. He went the extra mile by offering high quality treats, plenty of exercise, and general TLC. I highly recommend Branden!”
“Aaron and Tia are hands down the best ever. They are super friendly loves dogs and I can’t even thank them enough how they have helped me in last minute dog sitting but just the care they show with my dog. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter that just loves animals Aaron and Tia are your people this is my second time and they are 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You won't go wrong”
“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.”
“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!”
“Very reliable. Melonie did outstanding in caring for Fitz. She made sure i see pictures daily. She became a 2nd Mom to Fitz; no adjustment needed when we dropped him off and he was happy and content when we picked him up. He’s normally anxious in change of environment but he really felt a home with Melonie and her household. No issues at all in our previous and current visits.”
“Mark provided exceptional care for Cayde. From the moment I dropped him off, Mark ensured my peace of mind, assuring me that my dog was in capable hands. I greatly appreciated the regular updates via pictures and videos. The video capturing Cayde playing in the snow is particularly heartwarming. Upon Cayde’s return home, I could discern that he had an unforgettable experience. Mark’s genuine concern for the dogs he watches is evident. I am confident in utilizing Mark’s services for Cayde 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.
“Jayla deserves more than 5 stars. She responded fast, was friendly and attentive to my Prince. I had to have emergency surgery and couldn’t care for Prince. Knowing he was being cared for helped me to be able to focus on healing. I will definitely use Jayla again”
“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.”
“My wife and I are first-time users of Rover, and Ms. Kimberly B. performed above and beyond our expectations. She kept us up to date with texts, pics, and video regarding our pet's status and condition. In short, she was an outstanding sitter and keeper. Well Done Ms. K. ---Dr. & Mrs. M.”
“Chrismar is an excellent young woman. She took great care of Milo; she took him for walks at the park, let him sleep with her in her bed, and always kept me informed about my puppy. She is very responsible and caring. I would definitely request her services again. 🐶💛”
“I had never used Rover before and couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Brian! I received updates and photos throughout the weekend, making me feel confident that I had left Bernie in good hands. When I picked him up at the end of my trip, I got a happy, tired dog. I would absolutely use Brian again next time I have to leave town!”
“Elissa was wonderful with my dogs. She was accommodating, asked great questions, and followed my instructions for feeding and walking perfectly. I got pictures and video of my dogs every day, which made me feel like they were in great hands while I was away. Elissa is very caring and truly likes and enjoys dogs. I highly recommend Elissa to care for your dogs when you are away. Thank you Elissa!”
About: Recently married and paying off bills! If you have animal needs, I'm your girl! I've had cats and dogs my whole life. All kinds of breeds-mostly huge ones🤣 husky, chow, labs. I currently swap pet care with a neighbor, so I figured why not sign up for Rover! She said she used to do it, and she enjoyed Rover. It gives me a dopamine boost every time I get to see the fur babies. I'll treat them just as my own. I work from home, so with enough notice, I can make time to make runs out to care of your pets! I am in Temple Hills - very nearby is easiest. I usually immediately let out the dogs or walk the dogs. Then I feed them. While they are eating, I will do whatever needs to be done such as filling water bowls, cleaning up messes, etc. Then once they are done, I give lots of hugs or play depending on the doggie needs. Some dogs just want to sit under my feet and sleep while I'm at the counter or some dogs have all the energy in the world. Cats tend to just be cats 🤣 I had a cat that requires injections, so long as the dog or cat tolerates, I can do shots, oral or topical meds.
“Lindsay was just who we needed to care for our boy Migo! I can tell she cares very deeply about the animals entrusted to her, and Migo was no exception. Even as an anxious dog, his short vacation with them left him a l little bummed out to be leaving! For a caring and devoted animal lover to watch over your own, look no further! Lindsay truly is the best of the best and I am forever grateful for her. 💙”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 12 years now! I am very loving, dependable and attentive. I provide a safe, nurturing and fun environment.

The environment is very safe and there is a lot of grass areas to walk and run around!
“This is the 1st time I used Rover and I get so nervous leaving Bruce with people while I am out of town. From the very beginning Yolande was so kind and did very well with Bruce. She was amazing at communicating and letting us know Bruce was very well taken care of. I am so thankful for her and 100% recommend her!”
“I would leave 6 - Stars if I could. My fur baby was well taken care of. Donna and her husband were excellent hosts. Their love for pets was very obvious. I truly hope I have the opportunity to board my baby with them again.”
