“Shuling did a great job with Roman. He enjoyed playing in her backyard with her dog and she gave us constant updates on his progress. We recommended Shuling 10/10 and will certainly be using her again!”

“This was our first experience with Rover and it was absolutely wonderful! We have an older dog and she is both blind and deaf and Katelyn took such good care of her. She welcomed her into her home and treated her as if she were her own. Her communication was great. We received pictures/videos/updates several times a day. We will definitely use Katelyn again and highly recommend her!”

“Carlie took such wonderful care of our 11 year old Golden. She and her children spoiled him with all kinds of love and attention. I felt very comfortable leaving him while we were on a week long vacation.”

“Fantastic - Amazing - Wonderful! Yukia was a great communicator from the start. We talked before we brought our rascal over. We even did a meet and greet just to make sure he would take to her - and he sure did! During our trip she sent daily photos and updates, and our kids could not wait to get them every day. I could tell when I went to pick him up that he was very happy to be with her. For a quick moment he could not decide if he wanted to stay with her or come back home. It was his first time with someone else and she obviously took great care of him. There is no doubt that we have found our pet sitter for good!”


“Absolutely fantastic. Poppy had the best time and Michelle sent us daily updates. Would not hesitate to book for next time and fully recommend Michelle for your pup-care! Thanks Michelle 😊”

“Our first visit was so smooth. My dog seemed immediately comfortable with Katie. She sent pictures through the weekend and was flexible with pickup times. We are already looking to rebook her for next month. Thanks Katie?”
“They took great care of our dog! I appreciated the updates, and he enjoyed playing with their dogs during the week. Thanks for taking great care of our Max!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could! Phil was in excellent hands during his time with Candice & Rayne. She was very communicative with lots of pictures and updates, flexible and reliable with with a meet and greet, pick up and drop off. Phil had a great time and would love to come back and see Candice next time! Thank you!”

“Janice and Stalio were great hosts to our dog Diego. When Diego needed daily medicine after we made the booking they were happy to assist. They were communicative and helpful. They treated our dog like he was their own.”
“Elizabeth and her two adorable pups were so incredible welcoming our pup, Lyla, into their home this weekend. Elizabeth was so accommodating when setting up our meet and greet as well as pick up and drop off times. She was so great keeping us updated with pictures and notes on playtime, eating, and other general updates. Lyla is a bit of an anxious dog so sometimes it is difficult leaving her in new environments with people she’s never met but Elizabeth’s warm, kind nature and understanding of dog behavior made for an easy drop off. Lyla quickly felt at home and comfortable and had an amazing weekend playing with Boris and Bullwinkle.”

“Eli is the best!! I love the care he shows Skittles. I didn’t send enough food for my dog and Eli purchased more food for my furbaby!! The videos and pictures always made me feel good that my Skittles was doing just fine!! Eli will always be my first choice to sit for my dog.”

“Aimee was incredible and took amazing care of our little guy! She kept us updated every night on how he was doing and would also send us pictures! She will absolutely be our go-to sitter. Thank you, Aimee!”

“Ashley was amazing with Bingo and provided constant updates. She was very patient with him as it took him some time to get comfortable. Had some personal emergencies, so we had to extend Bingo’s stay, and she was very accommodating.”

“Brittany did a great job taking care of my pup and made sure he was well looked after while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I felt confident he was in good hands with her!”

“Buddy loved these people! So did I! I would highly recommend her! I am not comfortable leaving my Buddy with many people but I would definitely take Buddy there again. He came back happy and calm. So Holly is his new sitter. Thanks Holly.”

“My frenchie had the BEST time with Lindsay and her puppy!!!! Lindsay sent me pics daily, and whenever I asked for one. My baby literally had so much fun at her house, I think he sulked for a few days after ? Lindsay will be our go to for boarding in the future.”

“Nadia has become our go-to for pet sitting! She and her entire family treat our dog like one of their own, and we always get the best updates and videos showing just how much fun our pup is having. It gives us total peace of mind knowing our dog is so well loved and cared for 😊”

“Jacqueline was fantastic. She came for a meet and greet and Sophia, my cat, took right to her. She followed all my instructions, but she left me with a real sense of comfort that Sophie was going to be in amazing hands. I felt so comfortable while on vacation and I loved the videos and pictures she sent to me. It was a really great experience and she is the only one I will hire in the future.”

“Alexia is a Great Pet Sitter, she helped Rako out for 9 days, with our return He was Given Food and Water, and there was no mess. I love how she took care of his pads. Great Young Lady to hire.”

“Ava is amazing! My family could no longer watch my two cats last minute before a long vacation, I had to find a cat sitter for the 1st time. Even though, I was a nervous Nelly, Ava totally put me at ease that my guys would be well taken care of. And they were!”


“Allison was great and took extra special care with our 2 cats. We unfortunately booked and were away during a snow storm but Allison was able to make all appointments and even used our snow shovel and ice melt to clear our steps which is above and beyond.”

“Heather did such a great job taking care of our kitties, I think they hardly missed us. She sent us lots of photos while we were away, which was great for peace of mind. We would definitely use Heather again.”

“Kayla was amazing! Always on time and made sure our cats were taken care off. Felt really comfortable leaving them in her care while my fiancé and I were cruising. Took plenty of photos and pets. Would definitely book with her in the future!”

“Samantha did a fabulous job of staying at our house and taking care of our cat Duke while we were on vacation. She was even flexible and stayed an additional night at the beginning since we needed to depart a day earlier to avoid any weather delays. She sent daily pictures and kept in touch with us throughout the stay. I recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”


“Emily watched our 3 cats and turtle while we were on vacation. She was great with our fur babies and I felt like they were in great hands. She updated me daily about any issues and the kitties seemed to love her. Will use her again in the future.”

“Mackenzie was great! She connected with our cats so well and captured their personalities in daily update photos. Mackenzie is very responsive and reliable and we will be reaching out to her again. Thanks Mackenzie!!”


“Bella did a great job! She was super easy to communicate with. Based on the pictures she sent of my cat, it seemed like Tabby really liked her, which is rare with pet sitters! I would definitely hire Bella again!”

About: I’ve grown up with huskies and they are very high energy and active! I have experience with puppies as my sister adopted a chocolate lab puppy and I was over almost every week, including several different times where I watched him for a week on my own over the last year. I have also taken care of other small and large dogs and used to volunteer at Lucky Dog in D.C. where I walk ownerless dogs for free. My neighbor has relied on me to take care of her two cats for several different week-long occasions. I love playing with animals and will provide the best care because I know that our pets are our family. I work from home so I am able to watch pets during the day. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I am very flexible. I am able to let your pets out at any time of the day! I used to have a husky of my own so I know how important our “fur-babies” are to us. You can trust that I will give them the best belly rubs, treats, and take them on nice long walks. If you choose me as your pet caretaker you can guarantee your pet will get all the love and care they deserve!

“Tiffany was a real trouper to come visit our 3 month old puppy. She is knowledgeable, organized and loves dogs. Communicates promptly, and is open to changing circumstances. I highly recommend her.”


About: I’ve been around cats since I was little, my aunt had cats and I would always check in on them for her if she was out of town. My cat who unfortunately passed had kidney issues so I have experience in handling that as well. I’m also a volunteer with the SPCA!
“Jacob took great care of our cat while we were away for a week! He was very responsive, sent lots of cute photos, and we felt like he looked after our cat like it was his own.”

“Ed and Amy are pleasant and attentive to their pet guests. Plus, they are very good about making sure animals get bathroom breaks and exercise. In addition, Gunner’s warm demeanor always makes people feel welcome.”

“Kacie was awesome! She took great care of Queen while I was away at work. Kacie is very easy to communicate with and was extremely accommodating when my schedule was switched up at work last minute. Multiple videos were sent of their daily adventures. Kacie took Queen to the park or on a hike multiple times throughout the day. I 100% recommend Kacie if you need a dog sitter!”


About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was young. I’m very caring and have a soft spot for animals. Excited to be apart of your pets care! I only work 3 days a week so have lots of time to spend with your pet. I’m very outgoing and love to care animals My own pets are very well kept, I take them to the vet on time and always keep them clean/my home clean. In others homes I make sure I am there and punctual and give your pet all the attention they need
“Brittany is the seriously best! She took care of my 2 year old labradoodle, and it was clear from the photos that my dog was having the time of her life in her big backyard and welcoming environment. Thank you, Brittany!”

“Alex communicated throughout our dog’s stay, shared lots of photos, and took him out for walks. Our shy boy normally takes weeks to adjust to a new sitter, but clearly liked being with Alex and her pack.”

“Dana was great. We needed someone close to my sister's house while we celebrated an early Christmas, and she was able to help us out. We will definitely use her again when we are in town.”

“Best experience I’ve had on rover! Maggie had a blast. Celena sent multiple updates throughout the day. This was a last minute booking and I’m so glad she was available, I will be booking with Celena again!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life! My golden just recently passed and I currently have a 4 year old Australian Shepherd. I would love to walk and take care of your dog. Our current dog Bodie would also love to have friends to play with! Most of my experience is with bigger dogs but I am open to smaller dogs as well. I live in a neighborhood that is dog friendly and there are plenty of dogs around for fun interaction and play time if the dog is allowed! My schedule is open and flexible. I work in and out of the office weekly but can accommodate most schedules! Will only accept what I’m able to do! I love going on long walks. Pets are treated like humans in our household. We love animals so much and can’t wait to take care of your pet.
“Makaela took excellent care of Meekoa and Eevee while we were away for the day. They were perfectly happy with her and she even gave them cookies at pickup. Very friendly and communicative! We would definitely return when we're in the area again!”

About: I have owned pets most of my life. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and many other animals. I am also great with plants. I have been pet sitting outside of Rover for many years. I have a very sweet pit mix and do not discriminate against any breed! I understand the importance of trust and communication while allowing someone to care for your pet! I will always go above and beyond to give extra love to your furry friend, not just take care of basic needs. I keep a well stocked pet cabinet and bring supplies with me for sits, drop-ins, and walks. Anxiety, tummy issues, allergies, discomfort, first aid, grooming, enrichment- you name it, I'm prepared. I've handled several medical emergencies. I take the responsibility seriously. You can trust your family member will be properly cared for in any situation. Any concerns or changes in routine will be addressed with you immediately. *If interested in boarding please note that I do have a 66 pound Pit mix. He previously lived with another dog, a cat, and two toddlers. He is very friendly with absolutely zero aggression. He will not stand up for himself. I would be happy to do a meet and greet in my home or on neutral ground. If your pet is not compatible with large male dogs, please do not request this service. Alternatively, I would be happy to pet sit or stop in for longer visits. I work from home part time with very flexible hours. I can easily fit any needed pet care into my routine. I am up and available at most hours, early morning and late at night included. I do not board more than 2 pets at a time. Though I do not personally crate, I will if it's the routine of your pet and the crate is provided. My home is equipped with baby gates and large bedrooms so I am prepared to separate without your furry friend feeling too cooped up, should the need arise. I do not have a fenced backyard. Walks will be given a minimum of 3 times a day. 4-5 walks is my normal routine, though I am happy to follow your pets cues or their routine. My neighborhood is pet friendly with walking trails and lots of shaded areas. I have a deck with a large umbrella and dog beds, perfect if your pet likes to sunbathe as mine does!
“Let me just say Diana is awesome!!! She’s very responsive and took great care of our Ms Kenzie for 9 days . She provided updates and pictures throughout Kenzie’s stay and treated her like family. Our puppy decided to get in heat on day 2 or 3 but Diana handled it like the pro she is as we were concerned that it occurred while we were away. Diana had extra diapers and made sure she was comfortable. We were very appreciative of Diana’s attentiveness, love and care of our pooch and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Diana! Thank you so much Diana!!!!”

“Danielle was the perfect sitter for my pups! She was incredibly easy to work with, responsive, and kind. My dogs absolutely loved their time with her. When I went to pick them up they didn’t want to leave! Would highly recommend. Thank you!!!”

“I selected Marley as a back-up to my regular walker. She has been professional, dependable, flexible, and fun for my puppy. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her much more in the future!”

“Owen is reliable, kind and trustworthy. He shows up, gives my dog a good walk regardless of the weather, and responds quickly. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a walker.”


“Allison is great. Our dog loves her walks. On the very first day Allison took our dog for a walk, when we got home that evening, our dog insisted we take her another walk the second we got in. I guess you can never get enough of a good thing. I am grateful for Allision being there when we can’t be with our dog. I also appreciate that Allison is quick to communicate and plan each week with us.”


About: I’ve grown up with pets ranging from beta fish, dogs, guinea pigs and gerbils! I’ve watched my friend’s pets over the years as well. My cat who unfortunately passed had kidney issues so I have experience in dealing with that. I’m also a volunteer with the SPCA! I’m currently working a full time job, but work locally and have a hybrid schedule so I can be fairly flexible in the evenings and weekends! I could also be available around lunchtime during the week. My cat who unfortunately has now passed pretty much owned the second bedroom and bathroom in my home. I always made sure she is comfy, happy and had lots of boxes and her favorite string (she refused to use an actual cat bed but LOVES boxes!) I will make sure your pet is always well cared for, loved (if they desire) and catered to whatever they need (even if it’s a box)!
About: I am a true animal lover. I think animals become our family and I want you to feel comfortable that I will treat your pet like my own went in my care. I have experience with many kinds of animals, dogs, cats, hamsters, and reptiles. I am patient and kind and love to get to know your pet. This is currently my only job, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available morning, afternoons and evenings for visits. I can help on weekdays or weekends. I first get to know your pets basic needs, ensuring their safety, and offering enrichment. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, ensuring proper elimination, creating a safe and comfortable environment, offering exercise and playtime, and attending to any medical or behavioral needs. I am comfortable with small and large dogs as well as small pets and reptiles.
About: I love dogs and have nothing else to do and your dog will be my entire focus. I have had 3 dogs since I was a kid and have baby sat them and my sister’s dog. I am around the whole summer and would love to watch your dogs. I have also helped train my dogs and gone to training for them as well. I have watched my 2 digs for over a week on my own and my sisters for a week as well I will shape my day around your dog and any dogs I am sitting or watching that day. I have nothing this summer. The only activity I do regularly is lift. If your dog needs a morning walk I will lift later same goes for afternoon walks If you have a fenced yard I will play with your dog after the walk and make sure they get lots of treats and attention
“Heather was fantastic, responsible, punctual, and clearly great with dogs. Chance warmed up to her right away, and I appreciated the updates and photos. I will definitely book her again.”


About: Hi! I’m Courtney — a true dog lover, experienced pet caregiver, and someone who treats every pet like family. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, couch snuggles, or just a calm and reassuring presence, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. For house sitting, my standard rate includes typical care such as feeding, walks/potty breaks, companionship, overnight care, and lots of love. If your pet requires additional support — including senior care, medication administration, frequent potty breaks (every few hours), mobility assistance, separation anxiety management, or near-constant supervision — please let me know before booking, as these higher-needs situations may require custom pricing to ensure I can provide the level of care your pet deserves. Please be as detailed as possible about your pet’s routine, behaviors, and care needs so I can make sure we’re the right fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!

Elizabeth was so accommodating when setting up our meet and greet as well as pick up and drop off times. She was so great keeping us updated with pictures and notes on playtime, eating, and other general updates.

Lyla quickly felt at home and comfortable and had an amazing weekend playing with Boris and Bullwinkle.”

“We feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with Luba and James. Our new to us - 4 yr old- has been through a lot of change recently and we were a little worried about leaving him - but he felt safe in their l loving home. Will definitely choose their home over a boarding kennel anytime we travel.”

“Naya was great with our young puppy. This was his first overnight stay and he exhibited some anxiety. He had some accidents while there, but Naya handled it very well. He slept through the night and got along well with her dogs. When we picked him up the following day he seemed his normal self. Naya did a great job with him and he seemed to really like her company. We feel very comfortable with Naya as a sitter. She took very good care of him while we were away.”
“Dana’s house was a perfect spot for our dog! She has a great fenced in yard and sent multiple photo updates reassuring us that our doggo was having a great time. Her location was a perfect stop on our way to the beach. Would definitely recommend!!!”

“Becca was amazing!! She was able to take care of our beagle on last minute notice. She communicated with me multiple times a day and sent updates and pictures. Our dog was very happy and comfortable with her and I will have her as my go-to sitter from now on ☺️ HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!”

“Justin was easy to communicate with and accommodated my particular pick-up and drop-off needs. He shared photos of Peyton getting acclimated and kept me updated when necessary. I would highly recommend Justin (and Diesel!) for an overnight stay or playdate.”


“Shelby and her husband Brad are fantastic dog sitters! Ollie was very well cared for, and we received plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay. He had a great time playing with their sweet pup, and they even gave him a bath (no easy feat!), so he came home both happy, exhausted, and clean!”

“Joann was so nurturing with our dog Maeve. We had a wonderful experience during her stay! Maeve had lots of playtime outside with her dog Obi. We could tell from the updates each day that Maeve was very content. Highly recommend booking with Joann! We will certainly be booking again and again!!”

“We have had Sari watch Rusty twice now and she has done an amazing job! It was a weight off of my shoulders going into the second time because I knew he'd be well taken care of and have a great time with her. She does incredible long walks and even took him to a park on the water, which was a new experience for him! I cannot recommend Sari enough.”
