“We were traveling and planned a last minute stop in DC and Mount Vernon. Cameron was able to watch our Luna for 2 nights while we got to enjoy the city and not worry about Luna and the heat. Plus, Luna had other 4 legged friends to hang with. Would definitely recommend and thank you for taking great care of Luna.”
“Robyn came through when I needed it! Very personable, professional and accommodating! Looking forward to establishing a long lived boarding a relationship for the very near future! ;-)”
“Rena took excellent care of my fur baby. I could tell from the many updates and photos he had a wonderful time during his boarding with her. I will definitely reach out to Rena in the very near future for her services.”
“Garrett, Ana and their family were so wonderful. They were very communicative and took care of our golden, Pretzel so well. Pretzel had the best time with their family! My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving pretzel with them. We will definitely book with them again!!”
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“Cici and Nick were great with my high maintenance and anxious senior dog. They provided frequent updates and pictures and I truly appreciated the requirement of a meet and greet in public prior to being able to book. These are good people who love their animals and those they take care of.”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful with our girl Maggie. She was very accommodating and was able to take her last minute after our original dog sitter had something come up and was no longer able to watch our girl. Megan kept us updated with pictures and videos during Maggie’s stay which made us feel at ease while we were out of town. When we came and picked her up after our trip, Maggie looked like she had enjoyed her stay. Would definitely recommend Megan for anyone looking for a pet sitter. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Jordyn was great with our dog! She and her partner were such a sweet couple and made Skye feel right at home. She provided pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Skye got along great with her pups, and Jordyn was very flexible and reliable. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Lillian and Sebastian was wonderful right from the jump start. They both made my husband and I feel very comfortable to leave our fur baby. Further more, upon dropping off our fur baby, he was made to feel right at home. To top it off, we received plenty of photos, videos and text fill with updates of our fur baby. Excellent care.”
“Needed last minute care for the July 4th holiday and found Aaron and Tia! Very accomodating and happy i chose them! I was worried Howie would get anxious but the daily photos and videos assured me he was well cared for and happy! Thank you so much!”
“Loved his communication and understanding. You could tell that him and his partner are great caregivers and dog lovers. They even train working dogs so you know your pet is in good hands! 100% recommend.”
“Highly recommend!! Extremely thorough and went above and beyond prior to our pup’s stay to ensure he would be comfortable in the new environment while we were out of town. Great communication as well which is ALWAYS a plus for us while we are traveling to include daily updates, and pictures. Could tell our pup had a blast and we will definitely be back 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!”
“It’s the second time Chili and Pepper stay with Chelsea-Jo and Austin, this time for two weeks. They are great! Took care of them, treated them as part of the family, sent texts and pictures everyday (great pictures by the way) and Chili and Pepper were happy and comfortable with them.”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“My furbaby had a wonderful time. He was shown lots of love and attention and I was sent daily updates and pictures of him. Thank you for caring my furbaby while we were out of town.”
“My 1st time using Rover. I chose Beauty for her multiple 5 star reviews and the fact that she lived in the same city. Beauty took amazing care of our Kenge; who is not very good with strangers. It was his first time away and ours away from him. The photos and videos sent helped ease any anxieties that we had. He looked so loved and at ease. I would highly recommend Beauty for Rover services.”
“Lashelle was absolutely amazing with Rockie! From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with thoughtful, detailed messages and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Rockie is naturally anxious in new environments, but Lashelle was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She understood his body language, gave him the space he needed to adjust, and helped him build confidence at his own pace. I especially appreciated how she handled introductions with her family and pets, always putting Rockie's comfort and safety first. It was clear she has a lot of experience with dogs and truly cares about their well-being. She kept me informed about everything—from his eating and potty habits to his progress settling in, making new friends, and even his funny moments watching TV! She also went above and beyond by cleaning him up after an accident without hesitation. By the end of his stay, Rockie had gone from being nervous to relaxing on the couch, enjoying the yard, snuggling with the family, and even warming up to everyone in the house. Seeing that progress meant so much to me. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lashelle treated Rockie like one of her own, and I knew he was loved and cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, experienced, communicative, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for our trip, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such wonderful hands. He constantly sent thoughtful updates, videos, and pictures, which made us so happy and truly allowed us to enjoy our vacation worry-free. It was obvious how much care, attention, and love he gave her, and you could tell she was having an amazing time the entire stay. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog means everything to us. We are so grateful for the incredible care he provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”
“Marcela is reliable, kind, and compassionate. Our dog is always happy to go to her house, as he’s treated like family. Thank you, Marcela, for another great boarding experience!”

About: I've been an animal lover ever since I was a little girl. Animals have always loved me and can feel how much I love them instantly! I've had multiple pets in my life: birds and cats. I've been around dogs a lot and take care of my neighbors big Pitbull mix dog all the time. The size of the animal does not stop me from loving them and giving them the best time with me. I don't just pet the dogs, I actually play with them. Run around, fetch, walk them and making sure they get water during/after playtime. I am currently a stay at home mom with a reliable vehicle. I am available most of the day since my kid is in school. I am even available on most weekends and even week day evenings (after school) if needed! My main goal is to make sure that your pet(s) feel loved and cared for while you are gone! I will make sure they have the best time, feel safe, and comfortable while you are away. This includes making sure any mess that was made during your leave will be taken care of as well!

“Morgan was FANTASTIC! I had never left my cat with anyone except my best friend and was extremely nervous about traveling for the holidays after she moved away. Morgan's expertise and care made it possible for my girl to stay in her comfort zone, and for me to be with family without severe anxiety. He communicated clearly and often, gave me great updates (and photos!), and was the perfect mix of professional and personable. He took plenty of time with her even when he came out on Christmas Day. He clearly understood cat psychology and Cleo adored him for it (I'm a little shocked because she does not typically warm up to people that quickly at all!). All in all I could not be more thrilled to have found a trustworthy source of care for my baby girl, and will definitely be using Morgan again in the future! 🧡”
“Breanna is AMAZING with my big baby boy 🐕!!! We are beyond Lucky to have found her! She goes above and beyond and is like a Dog Whisperer lol! My German Shepherd LOVES her and she’s his new bestie. I hope I can keep Breanna forever! 5 stars Highly recommend- she’s Wonderful!! 😁”
“Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”
“That is a great addition—it shows she really understands different cat personalities, from the "spicy" ones who hate grooming to the shy ones. Here is the updated review with those details included: ### Review for Liz **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Liz provided incredible care for my three cats while I was away. It is always a bit stressful leaving a multi-cat household, but Liz handled everything with total professionalism and genuine care. She stayed on top of their specific needs, including: * **Medication & Maintenance:** She reliably administered medicine and kept the litter boxes spotless. Food and water were always fresh and topped off. * **Frank:** I loved the updates about her playing with him; she made sure he got plenty of exercise with his favorite laser toy! * **Rudy:** She even managed to give Rudy a good brushing—something he usually hates when I do it! She clearly has a magic touch. * **Ryan:** For my hider, Ryan, Liz took the time to find her every day just to lay eyes on her and make sure she was safe and doing okay. It’s clear Liz truly loves animals and respects their individual boundaries. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy home. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, patient sitter!”
“Nicole watched our cat Ollie for nearly 3 weeks while we were on vacation. I was anxious about leaving him for that long, but Nicole set our minds at ease with daily updates and pictures. She always responded quickly to messages and kept us updated on the status of our AC, which was on the fritz when we left town. I felt confident that both Ollie and my home were in good hands with Nicole. We will be using her again in the future.”
“Christina did a wonderful job with our baby girl (kitty cat)! She is friendly, responsible, respectful, and very professional. This was my first experience with Rover and I was nervous to have a stranger take care of my precious kitty, but I am so glad I took the risk. Christina sent pictures and notes with each visit. She impressed me at our meet and greet by asking important questions, which showed me she has attention to detail and an ability to anticipate needs. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Christina!”

About: I am an experienced pet owner who would love to provide quality care for your pets. Your pets will never know you are gone!! Give us a try! I have two senior dogs who know they are loved. Both were rescued from bad situations and have been with me 8 and 13 years respectively. We do a daily walk around the neighborhood and they still look forward to it, even the one with 3 legs. I took care of him when his leg was amputated 5 years ago due to cancer and feel pretty good about giving meds, if necessary. Your dog will be well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard and I do walks. I have cared for younger dogs also who want to play and fetch and run. Your dog will be safe in my home and I will do my best to keep your dog on the schedule that you have.
“This lovely couple was PERFECT. I could not say enough awesome things about them!! They were accommodating for my two babies and I will definitely rebook with them in the future!”
About: We treat your pup like family—just like our own! We understand how important it is to know your dog is in the best hands. With a safe, comfortable home and a fully fenced yard with plenty of shade, your dog will have space to play, relax, and feel right at home. Our love for dogs means we provide personalized care, ensuring a happy, stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend! Pet care is at the heart of our daily routine! Our family of dedicated dog carers includes full-time and part-time workers, ensuring that someone is always home to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime in our fenced yard, cozy relaxation indoors, or supervised socialization, your dog will always have loving companionship and a safe, comfortable environment throughout the day. In our home, we follow a loving and consistent routine to ensure every pup feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Each day includes morning walks—rain or shine—followed by feeding and plenty of outdoor playtime in our fenced yard. If it’s raining, we bring the fun inside with an assortment of safe dog toys and interactive play. In the afternoon, we head out for another walk, and if applicable, a trip to the doggy park for extra social time. Treat time is always a highlight, and in the evening, we wind down with a final walk before tucking your pup into bed with soothing music for a peaceful night’s sleep. If your dog is more of a lounger and loves to relax while watching TV, we’re happy to accommodate their favorite pastimes, too! Your dog becomes part of our routine—and part of our family.
“Connie was amazing with Thor! Besides being available last minute, she went above and beyond. She has a super warm personality and made Thor feel at ease right away. He was so happy to run around in her yard. She even packed some homemade treats for him to take home! She was just fantastic and I highly recommend. We will absolutely reach out again when we need help with our pup.”
About: I’ve had experience in pet sitting for minimum 10 years. Attention to detail and care for pets needs come first. Restrictions if any are considered as well. Morning, mid day, and evening walks are a must. As well as feeding, as frequent or less as needed. Pets will remain hydrated and have ample play time and relaxation time throughout the day. I offer a fenced yard with a seperate play area inside of home dedicated to pets. There will be ample space inside, or outside of home for pets to flourish and plenty of dog parks available if preferred.
“Jesus was so wonderful with our dog, Mack. Mack is an anxious boy and is fearful of most strangers, so we have had difficulty finding someone who he felt comfortable with and could care for him while we’re away. Initially, we were nervous dropping him off because we weren’t sure how Mack would be, but he walked right up to Jesus and everything went great! Jesus provided plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day, which we really appreciate. My wife and I felt so much relief and were at ease knowing Mack was enjoying his day with Jesus. We are so happy to have found Jesus and will certainly be using him again in the future. Mack can’t wait to be back!”
“Seyla is absolutely amazing. When I've had emergencies, last minute work schedule changes he has definitely come through for me. Izzy absolutely loves it with him and her fur friends. They have become her 2nd family”
“Tarressa did a great job watching our dog! While we were gone, she di a great job staying in contact with us and sent pictures and videos. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable with her. Tarressa is very trustworthy & caring. Definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!”
“They were great! This is our 2nd time Jessica watched our puppy, first time daycare. Our puppy was happy and tired when he got home. She responded quick to our messages and always provided updates. Thanks Again we will definitely board or daycare with Jessica again!”
“Saniyya was responsive and flexible! I was a little late picking up & she was helpful. Appreciate her help & would use again! Day care end time posted was a little off ( actually at 540p not 6p) but overall satisfied! Thank you Saniyya”
“Loved the pictures. Loved the location. She was well taken of and loved. I felt very comfortable leaving my girl. It was her first day of doggy daycare and we will 100% be rebooking!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and feel very comfortable handling pets with different needs and personalities. I currently work in recreational therapy twice a week, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail skills that carry over into providing safe and attentive pet care. As an online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, consistency, an supervision they deserve. At home, our family has five dogs, so I am very familiar with managing multiple pets at once and maintaining consistent schedules. In addition to daily care, I have experience with overnight dog sitting that includes week-long stays where I handled feeding, walks, playtime and managing pet's normal routines. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and cats and I understand how to adjust care depending on energy level and age. I have also taken care of chickens while house sitting, so I am comfortable with a variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats. I am able to drive, which allies me to be available for drop ins, walks, and emergencies if needed. Overall, I am dedicated to making families feel safe with leaving their pets at home and making the pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part time and am an online college student. I work Wednesday and Friday nights from 4pm-9pm. For my college classes I do not have to be on any type of zoom, so I do my course work at my own pace. I provide care in my clients home so pets can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and keep pets aware from anything that may be unsafe. I work to build trust with both owners and pets by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet's personality. I also have reliable transportation, so if an emergency does arise I can provide additional needs.

I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to check in on pets. Prefer morning walks and late afternoon walks.Have an open schedule. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I make sure they stay comfortable by following their regular routines. I provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, let them outside for bathroom breaks, clean up after them, administer medication if instructed, and spend quality time playing with and comforting them.

About: Hi, I'm Val! I'm a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes (we were definitely a pet-crazy family!). My sister is a former vet tech (I have learned so much from her and she is still my #1 resource when I have to "triage" anything non-emergent), and I grew up surrounded by animals, so pet care has always felt like second nature to me. I’ve cared for senior pets, administered medications, supported animals with special needs, even raised premature puppies! I’m very attuned to the unique rhythms and cues of each animal I meet. I’m gentle, playful, and intuitive, matching energy levels and always paying attention to what a pet needs in the moment. Whether that means slow movements and soft energy or zoomies and tug-of-war, I show up in a way that helps your pet feel safe, respected, and loved. I also deeply value communication with pet parents. I’ll always ask lots of questions to understand your preferences, routines, and what makes your pet feel their best. You can count on regular photo and written updates during our time together! I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with pets who may require more attention on walks together due to triggers, so long as there’s no bite history and we’ve had a proper meet & greet to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. :) I'm looking forward to meeting your fur fam! I work remotely and have a flexible and self-structured schedule, so I’m thankfully able to build my days intentionally around the things that matter, including pet care! I space out my client sessions to make room for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with the animals I care for. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and always take the time to understand what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I read behavior cues, match energy levels, and adjust my approach, whether that means calm and slow or playful and high-energy. I ask detailed questions up front so I can follow your preferences closely, and I always keep you updated with photos and notes. Your pet’s well-being and emotional safety are my top priorities.
About: I have taken care of family, friends and my own pets all my life. I am really responsible and have a love for all animals. I am very detailed oriented and I have a flexible work schedule. I can readily accessible at any time of the day to accommodate anyone. I have a large fenced in backyard which allows non caged or crated stays, where pets are allowed to play and roam off the leash
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dog breeds my whole life. I’ve also owned cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have 2+ years of experience with taking care of bearded dragons and I’ve had a couple visits with snakes, specifically corn snakes. I work with any and all dogs/cats. I also like to send pics/videos of the pets to their owners daily for that reassurance that their fur baby is taken care of with the upmost care! I’m currently a full-time college student. I’m available any day and any time of the week. I’m usually available last minute as well and around holidays if needed. I currently have 4 dogs; 3 Yorkies and 1 Boarder Collie mix. They’re set on a twice per day feeding and their internal clock is set to those times. If I were to be in a clients home, I would do my best to ensure the animal stays in their routine and their feeding/medication is on schedule. They’d get plenty of play times and unlimited cuddles!

“We were traveling and planned a last minute stop in DC and Mount Vernon. Cameron was able to watch our Luna for 2 nights while we got to enjoy the city and not worry about Luna and the heat. Plus, Luna had other 4 legged friends to hang with. Would definitely recommend and thank you for taking great care of Luna.”
“So grateful to have found Mickey to watch my dog while I am away. He sent me pictures and/or videos each day to show me how he was doing and how much fun he was having, which really took the stress out of leaving him behind. He had his own vacation while I was gone. Will definitely book with Mickey again.”
“Cici and Nick were great with my high maintenance and anxious senior dog. They provided frequent updates and pictures and I truly appreciated the requirement of a meet and greet in public prior to being able to book. These are good people who love their animals and those they take care of.”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful with our girl Maggie. She was very accommodating and was able to take her last minute after our original dog sitter had something come up and was no longer able to watch our girl. Megan kept us updated with pictures and videos during Maggie’s stay which made us feel at ease while we were out of town. When we came and picked her up after our trip, Maggie looked like she had enjoyed her stay. Would definitely recommend Megan for anyone looking for a pet sitter. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Jordyn was great with our dog! She and her partner were such a sweet couple and made Skye feel right at home. She provided pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Skye got along great with her pups, and Jordyn was very flexible and reliable. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Lillian and Sebastian was wonderful right from the jump start. They both made my husband and I feel very comfortable to leave our fur baby. Further more, upon dropping off our fur baby, he was made to feel right at home. To top it off, we received plenty of photos, videos and text fill with updates of our fur baby. Excellent care.”
“Needed last minute care for the July 4th holiday and found Aaron and Tia! Very accomodating and happy i chose them! I was worried Howie would get anxious but the daily photos and videos assured me he was well cared for and happy! Thank you so much!”
“Loved his communication and understanding. You could tell that him and his partner are great caregivers and dog lovers. They even train working dogs so you know your pet is in good hands! 100% recommend.”
“Highly recommend!! Extremely thorough and went above and beyond prior to our pup’s stay to ensure he would be comfortable in the new environment while we were out of town. Great communication as well which is ALWAYS a plus for us while we are traveling to include daily updates, and pictures. Could tell our pup had a blast and we will definitely be back 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!”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“Lashelle was absolutely amazing with Rockie! From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with thoughtful, detailed messages and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Rockie is naturally anxious in new environments, but Lashelle was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She understood his body language, gave him the space he needed to adjust, and helped him build confidence at his own pace. I especially appreciated how she handled introductions with her family and pets, always putting Rockie's comfort and safety first. It was clear she has a lot of experience with dogs and truly cares about their well-being. She kept me informed about everything—from his eating and potty habits to his progress settling in, making new friends, and even his funny moments watching TV! She also went above and beyond by cleaning him up after an accident without hesitation. By the end of his stay, Rockie had gone from being nervous to relaxing on the couch, enjoying the yard, snuggling with the family, and even warming up to everyone in the house. Seeing that progress meant so much to me. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lashelle treated Rockie like one of her own, and I knew he was loved and cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, experienced, communicative, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for our trip, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such wonderful hands. He constantly sent thoughtful updates, videos, and pictures, which made us so happy and truly allowed us to enjoy our vacation worry-free. It was obvious how much care, attention, and love he gave her, and you could tell she was having an amazing time the entire stay. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog means everything to us. We are so grateful for the incredible care he provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and Tanita and Terrence made it a great one! They were friendly from the moment we met. Out of the three choices we selected, they just stood out! We received the cutest pictures of the pups and updates daily. Since we were out of town for the stay, they put our mind at ease. The most friendly and stress free interaction ever. My dog enjoyed himself immensely. We will be choosing Tanita/Terrence again, hands down! Thank you for your service!”
“Connie was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She took excellent care of my pups and sent many pics during their stay. I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Stacy and her family were awesome! They took really good care of our fur babies. Communication was great, we received lots of pictures and updates while we were away. Jaxson and Kobe got all of the love, attention and belly rubs, they felt right at home.”
“Terez watched Reese for us during a quick weekend getaway. She was very flexible with our schedule in accommodating a pick up and drop off for us since we lived so conveniently close. Reese felt right at home with her. We will definitely use Terez again!”
“Michelle was amazing!! We had a family emergency where we needed a dog sitter ASAP. Michelle was very responsive and promptly accepted our request with open arms with no hesitation. Michelle and family were very welcoming! During our doggo’s stay, Michelle updated me constantly with adorable pictures and videos of the ample play and generous green space that Blaze enjoyed at Michelle’s property!! Blaze made plenty of friends and had a blast. Thank you Michelle and family!”
