“I couldn't have been blessed with a better sitter. Diana and her family totally exceeding my expectations with taking care of my Apollo. I received updates and photos multiple times a day, that showed the love he was getting, the amazing care he was getting, and he was happy. This was the 1st time using Rover and I was extremely nervous, but Diana and her family took away all my worry. She and her family celebrated Apollo's 3rd birthday with him. We were greeted with balloons. How awesome was that! Diana's love has for dogs shows immensely as well as her good character, and I would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their dog.

About: I've been dog walking ever since 2020, starting with my sister's retriever mix, my neighbor's dogs of similar size (85 lbs), and a family friend’s corgi. I'm used to taking care of dogs with a lot of energy! I've been entrusted to take of care my sister's dog on my own for extended periods of time since then, spanning anywhere from a week to over two months. I am available mostly from 10 am - 4 pm on weekdays, barring any special circumstances. On weekends I am less flexible in the afternoons. I have a fenced in yard that is decently spacious with lots of slopes for dogs to run across. It's perfect for a game of fetch or just a case of the zoomies! While I do spend most of the day on my own, I can give enough attention to any dog that needs it because of my flexible schedule.
“Lo went above and beyond to care for our cat while we were away. We’ve booked her multiple times and are always grateful for her thoughtful communication and attentive care.”
“Nuha took such great care of my boy Finn. I knew he liked her at the meet & greet, and he seemed very happy to see her in all the pictures too She took care of his litter, food, and water as instructed, and even brushed him! Will definitely rebook!”
About: Caring for both dogs and cats is my second nature. Because I manage my own multi-pet household, I am highly experienced in reading animal body language and keeping the peace between different pets. I am highly organized and perfectly comfortable handling strict feeding schedules, specific dietary needs, or administering medications. I treat every pet I watch as if they were my own.
“Teffni is a fantastic pet sitter! We have 3 cats, one who is outgoing & two that are shy, Teffni was so great at letting them get to know here at their own pace. She also handled their different food needs and Nibblers medicine. She gave us updates and pictures during each visit so we knew the boys were happy and well taken care of while we were out of town. We came home to 3 very happy cats! Will definitely book Teffni again!”
“Excellent sitter, I'd highly recommend Khadija! She was responsive and attentive to our shy cat, who always needs a little extra time to get used to new people. We really appreciated the regular photos and updates, and when we returned home our cat was happy and healthy.”
“We loved having Abigail watch our cat, Curie. She sent us so many cute photos and detailed updates for every visit, which really helped us feel like Curie was in good hands! Abigail has a way with animals; our cat took to her right away. We’d happily have Abigail pet sit whenever we’re out of town!”
“Julianna was excellent with my cats. My one girl can be pretty skittish and she seemed to warm up to her fairly quickly. She gave me thorough updates, took a ton of pictures, and immediately reached out with any questions. I felt at ease leaving my cats with her and would definitely book her again 🐱”
“Ilana was great with our two cats! She visited our house twice a day while we were away and made sure our cats were well taken care of. She followed all of our care directions and was flexible when needed. We appreciated her help and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others!”
“Carolina was very communicative and the kitties absolutely loved her. We enjoyed the pictures and updates after each visit. We highly recommend her as a cat sitter!”
“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.”
“Drew was amazing taking care of our cat. He is very passionate and very responsive . He is very detailed oriented and keeps good records of his visits. We will definitely reach out to him to take care of Forest in future.”
“Madelyn did a great job boarding our 18yo cat. He needed both pill and topical medication, and she handled everything. She also provided pictures and updates throughout the stay”
“Mary went above and beyond for caring for my three cats. I had booked four visits for my cats. Unfortunately, there was a serious issue in my apartment building during that time. Residents and their pets needed to be evacuated. Mary ended up having to bring my cats to a boarding facility. She put them all in their crates, walked up and down eight flights of stairs in my building, put them in her car, drove them, and then admitted them to the chosen boarding facility. Through it all, Mary maintained constant communication and care regarding the well being of my cats. I would highly recommend Mary as a petsitter for your pets!! I don't know what I would have done without her help. Thank you, again, Mary!! 💗💗💗”

“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.”
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.
“Paul was great. My dog is anxious around new people, especially men, and Paul was patient with her and helped her get comfortable. He also took her on long walks which she needs because she has a lot of energy so I appreciated how tired she was when we got home.”
“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.”
“We as Valerie's owners added a complicated wrinkle -- I am traveling and have the Rover.com account, and my daughters were on the ground doing the drop off and pick up. Ana did not blink an eye over our logisitcal wrinkle. She was so easy to work with. My daughter said Ana was extremely welcoming and clearly a dog person, so Valerie was so excited to be at her place. We would definitely book with Ana again.”
“Diana is a kind soul and an amazing host for my puppy. She’s been very helpful with potty training and always makes sure everything feels safe and comfortable. Her adorable dog, Charlie, is super chill and friendly, which makes the environment even better. Diana is flexible, responsive, and you can feel her genuine passion for caring for animals. We’re already asking her to set up regular visits because we trust her completely. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I have significant experience caring for animals, including both dogs and cats. I have previously worked as a pet sitter, where I was responsible for ensuring pets were properly fed, exercised, and well cared for. I also had my own dog for about seven years before he passed away, which gave me long-term, hands-on experience in responsible pet ownership. I genuinely love animals and always make it a priority to ensure that the dogs and cats in my care are healthy, safe, and emotionally supported. I typically have open availability after work on Fridays and throughout the weekends. In addition to my strong caregiving abilities, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet and be present when they want to play or go outside. During the week, I work in the mornings; however, I am available Monday through Friday in the afternoons. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available all day. My older daughter is home during the mornings and will be assisting me with caring for the dogs or cats during that time to ensure they continue receiving attentive and reliable care. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and play. Whenever they would like to go outside, I will gladly take them for a walk, to a nearby park, or allow them to play in the backyard or front yard under my supervision. They are also welcome to relax and move freely around the house. I will always be attentive to their needs and ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
About: I have been walking and sitting dogs in my neighborhood since I was young as I can remember! I have experience with all types of cats and dogs of all sizes. Ive personally have had my own two cats for 10 years and my big dog for 6. My dog Rusty pulls a lot during walks and is very strong so I can walk any dog of any strength 🦮 I am currently a college student with a light class schedule so I am available most of the day/night for pet care and day of the week! I have pet sitted many different types of animals at clients houses for many years. I am also available for overnight pet sitting if needed
“Antonio is very calm and has a lovely home for your fur baby to enjoy while staying there. Barklee came home exhausted which usually means he had lots of fun.”
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a previous dedicated dog owner ourselves (we recently lost our German shepherd) I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Your pet won’t just receive food, water, and walks, they’ll get attention, affection, playtime, and a comfortable home environment where they can feel safe and loved. I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout your pet’s stay. My goal is simple: for your pet to have such a great time that they’re excited to come back for their next visit. I currently work from home full time and my husband and I are also generally home during the weekends as well! We have a ton of time to Pets in our home are treated like family. We follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks (as energy permits), playtime, medications, and any other special instructions. Whether your pet loves playing, exploring, or curling up for a nap, we make sure they receive the care and companionship they need while you’re away.
“Maria was amazing with my anxious dog! My pup has never been to daycare or boarding before and Maria was very patient and communicative with me and my pup—I received photos and updates throughout the whole day. She clearly knows dogs well and is able to expertly navigate dogs with all different needs. I will definitely book with Maria again!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for animals my entire life. I previously worked for a dog walking service in Bethesda. Let me enrich your dogs day with walks, pets, and treats! I care for animals as a full time job. Your pup’s happiness is my main concern. I’m available every weekend and all major (and minor!) holidays. I have a fenced in yard and two well-socialized pups who are just dying to run around with your fur baby! I provide walks every two hours. Conveniently located near BCC.
About: As a child, I grew up in a household with multiple dogs around at all times. I have cared for and trained dogs of all sizes. My fiance and I would love to be around more dogs as we aren’t able to have one of our own yet! We only have experience with dogs at this time but we welcome cats as well! My boyfriend and I work from home during the week and are generally available to care on Friday and the weekend! We don’t have children so our schedules are very flexible. We are very attentive, affectionate, and responsive to the needs of our pets. We make sure to go on frequent walks and adventures around the park to remain an active and fun place for pets!

“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.”
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.

She really loves the dogs and gets to know them and their personalities. She even made sure she was watching another puppy so that he would have another dog his age and energy level to play with. She sent many daily photos of him playing with his new friends. From them I could see that she was walking him often and he always looked like he was having a great time. Since we are new to Rover I wasn't really sure what to expect and was a bit nervous, but knowing that Jerry was happy helped me have a great trip without worry. Thank you Maria!”

We could tell that he enjoyed his time there immensely. We have used other sitters but have never been happier than we were with Andrea and Michael. We would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommend.”
