“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Diana and her family took great care of our puppy while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and photos and was quick to respond to messages! We would trust Diana again with Pepper Ann if she is available!”
“Great photos of our elderly cat, relaxing, cuddling, and enjoying her pampered visit. Sonya went above and beyond to swing by our house and pick up medicine we'd forgotten. Great peace of mind knowing Maya was in safe, capable hands!”
“Cal & Kelly were wonderful! They sent multiple photos and videos daily. This was our first time leaving our dog alone while we went on vacation but we felt very comfortable with him in their hands. Our dog had an especially great time playing with Lilo and Nero! We look forward to keeping our pup there again soon.”
“Liya & her family provide exceptional service to my dog. Very attentive, caring and always goes above and beyond. She has been flexible with time, changed plans etc. As someone who is very particular, I feel at peace leaving Chloe in her care. Highly recommended!”
“Cindy was awesome. She addressed the initial anxiety of Lightning , made sure he is comfortable, and sent pictures and videos . We will not hesitate having her board Lightning again.”
“Both of my dogs truly enjoyed their stay with Melissa. They were well cared for and she provided ample updates. I definitely will be working with her again to care for my pups.”
“Andy graciously boarded my dog Marble during the holidays. He was always prompt with communication, attentive, detailed, and sent pictures every day, so I knew my dog was well taken care of. Marble came back happy (with a washed blanket courtesy of Andy!) and I could not have been more grateful. Would board with Andy again in a heartbeat!”
“Thanks for taking such good care of our Romeo! He loved your home so much that he didn't want to leave! Thanks for sending all the adorable photos and updates, too. I hated to be away from our little fur ball, but at least had the piece of mind that he was living the good life in your home. ❤️”
“Sandy had a wonderful time at Adva's house. She went on lots of walks and played outside in their big backyard. The whole family was warm and loving towards Sandy. Adva emailed us pictures and was great about communicating with us.”
“My dog has appeared to enjoy being with Jiao, and I got a picture or video of my dog everyday. Jiao was timely with her communication and flexible with drop off/ pick up. I would use Jiao to dog-sit again.”
“Bianca is fabulous. She is kind, loving, competent, caring. She was attentive to my tiny, anxious, elderly dog's needs. Bianca adjusted and adapted what I'd shared with her so that it worked in her home, e.g., my dog wouldn't eat with the same set-up as I use so Bianca tried out different ways until my dog finally ate. I was curious to see how Bianca's cat would be with my dog. At the meet & greet they calmly sized each other up. During the stay Bianca shared a lovely photo of my dog snuggled on her sofa with her cat on the armrest. Nice, mellow companions. I was thoroughly comfortable leaving my dog in Bianca's care and will absolutely do so again when I go out of town and can't bring my dog with me.”
“Evan and Megan were great sitters! They communicated well the entire time we were gone and sent us pics to keep us up to date on how our puppy was doing. Highly recommended.”
“Alejandro took such great care of our old girl. We knew it was a perfect match the moment we walked in for the meet and greet. Our dog was so excited to meet Alejandro and his partner and got to exploring and cuddling immediately. She had no qualms about being dropped off for her staycation (it seemed like she couldn’t wait for us to leave). When we picked her up, it was clear that she missed her time with Alejandro.”
“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Carolina was amazing with my cats! She sent lots of photos every day and provided really thoughtful updates. I’ll definitely be using her again next time we’re out of town.”
“Teffni is just terrific and clearly cares for the well being of all her charges. She is just doing a phenomenal job in a very difficult situation where Linus the Cat’s doting owner is in hospice care at home. Teffni’s care and flexibility have enabled Kitty to comfort to his mom and bring smiles to her face every day.”
“Highly recommend Minh for house and pet sitting. He took great care of our cat Jasper who ended up being quite shy. Minh helped make sure he had food and water and moved these to where Jasper was hiding out. Minh was extremely responsive, detailed and thoughtful. House was taken care of and left in excellent condition.”
“My cats LOVE Hungjung. Both cats come to her right away and play with her. My shy cat even lets Hungjung pet her, which is a very big deal - even my regular guests don't get to pet this cat. Hungjung is very respectful of my space, arrives when she says she will, and sends good pics of each visit. Highly recommend for all cats.”
“Natalia is a rockstar. She is my favorite sitter and my 3 kitties love her to bits. She's so thoughtful and attentive to the kitties and super responsive, keeping us updated with photos and notes when we're away from our girls. I can't recommend her enough.”
“Ambar was amazing, willing to meet with me ahead of time, and sincerely helped me with an urgent booking. She really helped me around the stressful holiday times and was always so prompt with her reports. I will definitely attempt to use her again!”
“We’ve used her twice for drop-in visits and home stays, including a full week this month while we were out of town, and she’s been fantastic each time. She’s punctual, attentive, and clearly cares about our pets. She also leaves everything clean and in order. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Jana was my first experience with a rover sitter and I could not be more happy about it! She was really communicative about everything. She made a checklist for everything she needed to do for each visit and was really prepared. She also sent photo updates of my kitties and let me know every time she was with them. Jana also went above and beyond and made the kittens a toy for them to enjoy (so sweet!!) which really shows how much she cared about my kitties [and animals in general!] She took time to play with them and give them attention :) Jana made me feel so much better about having left my cats alone for a few days and I would book her again and I definitely recommend her services!”
“Our very sensitive Siamese was in great spirits when we arrived home, and that has not always been the case with other sitters. Helene gave him extra love and attention and it definitely showed! We will definitely book with Helene again.”
“Julianna was fantastic! She went above and beyond over a holiday weekend, making sure our two cats were not only fed, but played with and cared for. She sent us wonderful pictures and detailed updates, and made us feel completely at ease about being away from the kitties.”
“Drew is just downright amazing! Braved the winter storm to take care of our boys and went above and beyond as a sitter. Extremely responsive and friendly to us and the cats. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.”

“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”
“We are so thankful to have found Paul! He excepted our booking very last minute and was so accommodating. Ebony doesn’t always do well in new places, but I think he would have preferred to stay with Paul even longer! Lots of walks, lots of pictures and updates. I especially appreciate how confident Paul is with socializing Ebony with other dogs, something I am always nervous about. Will definitely use Paul as a sitter in the future!”
“My dog is very happy at Natalia's and with the company of other dogs there. She is happily going to Natalia, which is the biggest sign for me that Natalia's place is a good environment for dogs.”

“I normally don’t leave reviews, but it’s my sincere pleasure to sing Anna’s praises. I had a recurring daycare booking for my Irish Setter two days a week, and Anna was wonderful. Anna was reliable, kind, and clearly loves dogs. My dog was always excited to see her and came home happy and well cared for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’m so grateful we found her and would happily recommend Anna to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter. Five Stars all around!!”
About: I’ve cared for many of my own dogs & dogs of friends, gf’s, etc. since the late 1980s. I’m a long time dog owner and dog lover, who is also a professional and former small business owner - who is mature, responsible, and serious. On the professional side, I have a combination of organizational/business management and basic sales/marketing & customer service training. I own a single family home with a large yard. My “main job” is in tech and I work from home nearly every day. I’m minutes away from a large park as well. The pets (and people) under my care receive a lot of loving attention in a safe, higher end neighborhood. I have a fenced yard backing up to a very serene, wooded/natural setting with tons of trees. If needed, my home has specific crates/cages and multiple rooms, depending on what the circumstances require. However, usually most pets are allowed to roam freely throughout most of the house and yard, as long as they do not conflict with or disrupt others.
“Felisa gave Pearl excellent day care in her home on a holiday weekend. My dog loves to be outdoors and she had the opportunity to play in the backyard and to take long walks.”
“Diana did an excellent job watching my dog. She asked about his likes and dislikes beforehand and was good at communicating drop-off and pick-up. She kept him entertained throughout the day with games of fetch and walks. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”
“Ashley was great with my puppy! She made me feel very confident leaving my dog with her for daycare! You can tell she loves dogs! She has a great backyard! My dog was happy when I picked her up!”
About: I am an animal lover to my core! I've had dogs my whole life, and have been proudly owned by Labs, French Bulldogs, and currently a pair of Chihuahuas. I have also cared for cats as long-term fosters! I volunteer with the French Bulldog Rescue Network, and have attended obedience classes at Capital Dog Training with several of my dogs. I have a special affinity for the smoosh-face breeds and the gentle giants, but I've dog sat and walked all sorts, from Salukis to Shiba Inus! I also have experience walking multiple dogs at a time. I also adore my feline friends, and would be delighted to meet your pet, whatever the species - I have cared for lizards and rats, too! My life is incomplete without animals in it, and I would love to spend some quality one-on-one time with your furry friend(s)! I also have passed a federal background check. PLEASE NOTE: I generally do NOT accept first-time clients on less than one week's notice, although I am more willing to be flexible on that point for cats. I am working from home for the indefinite future, so I am fairly flexible to come at whatever times suit you and your pet's schedule the best. I do not care for pets in my own home, but will take every necessary precaution when caring for your animals in their home environment.
“My Hazel had a great couple of days with Jamie. She totally sacked out after playing with Kohl in the spacious fenced in yard! Jamie promptly replied to messages and shared pictures during Hazel’s stays. Her home is easily accessed from the Beltway, which helped my commute. Jamie is very pleasant, and obviously has much experience with dogs. I highly recommend her services, and hope Hazel can become a repeat visitor!”
“Kelly was flexible and willing to come an hour earlier than originally scheduled when we had to change our plans at the last minute. She responds instantly to messages in the Rover app and sent us a bunch of pictures of our doggies.”

“Everything with Ri worked smoothly . She came a few days in advance so we could meet each other and she could meet the dogs. She was friendly and clearly comfortable with dogs. She walked the dogs without a hitch and left the key in the agreed upon location.”
“Teffni is so sweet and communicative, and she had to deal with a lot: my dog not wanting to walk in the rain and the front desk attendant giving her a hard time. Really appreciated her help.”

“DJ is so wonderful with our beloved Scout!! She is extremely patient and attentive to her and very diligent in her calling her, feeding her, and playing with her. We are so glad to have found DJ!”
“We met Nicole for the first time. She's a wonderful young woman, full of positive energy and joy. Our dog Sasha immediately liked and trusted her. It's clear that Nicole has a huge heart for animals. We offered Nicole a full-year schedule right away. ~ Tom”
“Kevin is fantastic! He walks our dog a few times a week and our dog is loving it. Kevin is reliable, friendly, and leaves the best walk reviews for us! We really enjoy having Kevin as our dog walker.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life! I had my first dog, adopted from Dogs XL, in 2014. I love big dogs, little dogs, and medium dogs. All breeds and types (with a preferred love for rescues!). I love learning the personalities of new animals, and learning their quirks and how they show their love. I just graduated from college and am currently looking for long-term employment. Due to only having part-time gigs right now, your animal will have frequent walks, supervised time outside, and pets. I am willing to be flexible in my schedule for home visits too, coming as frequently as desired. I have a fenced yard and no other animals in the house, but two parents, a brother, and myself (all pet lovers), so there will be lots of people to keep your animals company and play.
About: Hello! My name is Sylvia. I have several years of experience pet sitting dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits, although I’m open to all kinds of animals. Since my family does not currently have an animal to keep us company, I jump at every opportunity to walk, feed, and spend time with any pet. I am currently home for the summer, so I’ll have plenty of time to play! I am also babysitting on the side, but my hours are very flexible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making sure the dogs feel safe and comfortable with plenty of attention and exercise while the owners are away. I understand every pet has unique habits and personality, so I try to stick to the routine they know.
About: I’ve had a dog for 12 years and family and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs and give them the proper care. I am playing in a summer baseball league and I work at a summer camp for 4 weeks so during that time I’ll only be available on weekends but when that isn’t happening I am mostly available during the day. I routinely feed and walk my dog at home and go to my friend’s home when they are on vacation to feed and let their dog out.
“Marissa was super attentive and responsive to Valerie's needs (springer spaniel puppy). My husband commented that she was confident and in charge, but super nice and connected with our pup right away. Marissa was very responsive -- I had to book sort of last minute, and she responded right away and took on three walks. She was easy to converse with/contact through the Rover platform.”
“Amelia is the best!!! She’s been so very patient with our dog, Leah, who has major anxiety issues. She’s always prompt and timely in her communication. Leah just adores her and that makes us very happy.”
“I will book with Nailah 10 times out of 10. She is consistent with communication, very kind and caring, and professional. Nailah walks my dog about 6-8 times a month. I know Ivy loves the walks!”

I miscalculated the date of our return by a day and Derek promptly extended the booking and made everything so stress free and seamless!”
“Maria has taken care of Taz on various occasions for extended stays, and the measure of how well she takes care of him is his excitement every time I take him to her house. Maria also kept us updated during his stays, sending pictures and reporting any issues on a daily basis.”
“Maci loved spending time with Erin and her godson!! Erin treated Maci just like she would her own dog. Thank you, Erin! We hope to use your services in the future!”
“Joseph and his wife took amazing care of Kashmere over night. They sent updates through out the entire day/ night with pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing ok. Also kept him on schedule for us so there were no issues for us when we got him back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Calvin and Vanessa! They took amazing care of our Shiba for over two weeks, and she got along so well with their two friendly dogs. We really appreciated their quick responses and frequent photo updates — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Before the longer stay, we did a one-night trial, which went well and made us feel confident about leaving our Shiba in their care. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
