“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!”
“Brianne took great care of our shy chihuahua mix! She was very responsive over text and sent us plenty of photos. We would definitely book Brianne again and recommend her services!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“Evan was a great sitter for my older dog, Dempsey! He took great care of him and kept me informed of how he was doing. Evan has a genuine love for dogs and did a wonderful job!”
“Sonia was fantastic with Murray and was extremely warm and understanding throughout his stay. She also sent the best dog-sitting pictures of anyone we've booked with and it shows how much she cares.”
“My sweet, shy little pup loved Meri from the first moment they met (which is very unusual for my dog). Meri did such a great job taking care of Lucy, keeping me updated by sending me pictures, and making Lucy feel at home. Our flight was delayed, and Meri was very responsive and flexible to our changing travel plans which put me at ease in a stressful situation. I highly recommend Meri!”
“Andy was great with my dog! He always sent me photos and pickup/drop off was easy. When I picked my dog up, he didn’t want to leave! It was nice to know that he was in good hands while I was gone.”
“Very great communication and sent a lot of pictures while I was away! Made my girls feel at home and the family was incredibly nice/hospitable. Did not worry at all leaving my girls in their care!”
“We are so grateful to Alex and Daniel for being willing to take a chance on our pup, who has had some behavioral issues with strangers. During the meet & greet, Ella immediately warmed to them both...so we knew that we had a great fit here. Ella had a glorious stay at their home, with lots of TLC and belly rubs. We've already booked her next visit!”
“Cindy was great with Murphy. Friendly, easy to communicate, We appreciate her flexibility, prompt and clear communication, and her overall attentiveness to our dog. We could not be more pleased with her work and would be happy to recommend her services to our family and friends.”
“I could not recommend Kelly and Cal more enthusiastically! They took great care of our two babies, sent frequent updates including videos and pictures, were super responsive -- and were SO easy and flexible! I needed to add time to our scheduled visit and they happily rolled with that. Plus, I was a few minutes late picking up and they were fine with that too! Most importantly, our doggies were happy and healthy. Will definitely rebook!”
“Chad and Regina were great caretakers for my small dog. This was my first time using them and I will definitely book with them again. I appreciated the regular updates and communication through my trip!”
“Kelly was fabulous! She watched our two newfies and they were so happy I was afraid they would not want to come home. I think it is a big plus that Kelly has a yard where the dogs could work off some of their energy and play. I really appreciated the updates and photos that Kelly sent through the stay, which put us at ease. I would really recommend Kelly - five stars!”
“Highly recommended! Melissa took great care of my pup and was in constant communication with me throughout the stay. Such a pleasure to work with and I will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Edgar was able to provide a loving and non-hectic environment for our older dog. The environment is spacious and accommodating. His dog is great with other dogs, and they were able to coexist wonderfully. He was able to accommodate last minute from another sitter needing to cancel last minute (sorry, thank you), but I intend to give more notice next time we decide to have Edgar provide care for our dog when we’re away. Thank you again!”
“Colleen and her family took wonderful care of my dog. She is a very trustworthy and conscientious dog mom. I appreciate that her home has a fenced yard. She also was able to administer daily high drops to my senior dog. I received updates and photos. Thank you Colleen and family!”
“Rose is FANTASTIC! A loving, fun and calm spirit! Pippy was so very happy and content staying with her and Zeus! I would rebook in a minute and often! We found a gem amongst rocks! 🤗”
“Kamille was wonderful! Very flexible, responsive, and great about sending pictures. Kona had a great time and we wi definitely work with her again in the future.”
“Masha and her family took great care of our little pup. They quickly learned his routine and what he likes and doesn't like. I appreciated getting regular and photos and updates!”

“Abigail spent a good chunk of time with my cat and she seemed very comfortable! She was kind at the meet and greet and took notes to make sure she had all the information”
“Thank you Carolina for taking such good care of our baby! Winnie struggles with eating and Carolina made sure to encourage her to eat and provide her with lots of snuggles and play time.”
“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.”
“My cat Missy and I were both extremely lucky to have Julianna catsit while I was away. She's a lovely person, who obviously knows and loves cats. She visited twice a day and went through Missy's routine excellently; Missy started trusting her right away, as I could tell from the photos Julianna sent me. I really hope Julianna will be available in the Spring, when I'll be taking another trip.”
“Ambar took care of our two cats as we had to go out of town due to a family emergency. She was kind, patient and professional. Especially one of our cats requires daily insulin shots. She was communicative the entire time and we highly recommend Ambar!!”
“Khadija took great care of our cat while we were out of town! She was responsive and flexible. I can tell our cat has lots of attention and was well cared for.”
“Helene did a wonderful job taking care of Chester and Kate! She followed all care instructions and spend extra time visiting with them. Helene provided excellent communication and sent pictures of the kitties during each visit. In addition, she took in the mail, ran the dishwasher and took out the trash. Thank you for a job well done, Helene!”
“Cat parents - look no further than Mary for your kitty sitting needs! Mary kept us at ease with our three kitties during a trip. She is very communicative and shared plenty of routine updates as well as whenever something was a bit off with the cats or the house. All of our instructions were followed purrfectly and Mary treated our cats with a lot of care. If you're a cat person looking for another cat person to watch your kitties then I highly recommend Mary!”
“We are so glad that we have Astrid to take care of Nigel and the fish. Nigel is always in very good spirits after being in her care, and I can tell from the check in pictures she sends that he really loves her visits. Thank you, Astrid!”
“Aliyah was fantastic! She replaced a last minute cancellation and was so on top of everything clear and smooth. We were gone for our wedding weekend, and I was able to have 0 worried for my kitty cat while we’re gone knowing she was in Aliyah’s care <3”
“Our family had the opportunity for a last minute trip and we were concerned about finding someone to drop in for our cat. Madalyn was amazing with her quick response and flexibility to meet prior to our trip over a holiday weekend. When we returned, our cat was happy and well taken care of. We can't wait to work with Madalyn again, with more notice the next time!”

“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.”

About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since I was a child. I’ve owned an Airedale terrier, a pug, a Russian terrier, and my family currently has a Japanese spitz. I’ve got all sorts of experience - I have adopted a doggie from a shelter before, and I’ve also raised my two pups from 3 months old until they passed a few months ago at ages 14 and 16. I’ve boarded dogs - I looked after a friend’s pug for a week, a family friend’s elderly golden retriever, and fostered a stray my sister and I rescued before someone adopted her. I’ve taken road trips with multiple pets, and flown across the country with 3 of my dogs, I’ve taken them to all sorts of vet appointments, and been with them through all stages of their lives. I’m on this platform looking for company to heal from losing my furry friends, because being around dogs brings me peace and joy. I am a performing artist and I travel a lot for concerts, so having my own pet is unfortunately not feasible at the moment, hence I decided that taking care of someone else’s furry babies while I’m home between performances is the second best thing:) You can rest assured that I’ll take great pleasure in taking care of them and having them in my home. I work from home during the day and I am home from evening until morning, too. I do however step out for errands and appointments. Your dog will be with me most of the time while staying in my home, walked 2-3 times and fed on schedule, but should be comfortable being on its own for 2-3 hours max, if I have things to do. If your doggie has severe separation anxiety and is unable to be alone at all, I can accommodate that with enough notice and for 2x my normal nightly rate. I’ve always let my dogs run free around the house and make a safe space for them where they liked, but I did crate my rescue doggie when he first arrived to slowly acclimate him to the new place. Whatever you prefer for your dog is fine by me and I’m happy to accommodate. I don’t have a yard, but I have plenty of green areas nearby where I’d walk your furry pal. I keep my dogs on leash at all times. I like training them and playing with them to give them some mental stimulation, but if they prefer to chill and not be bothered I’m cool with that as well
“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!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience with Galen. Our dog Harvey got along well with their dog Ginger and he was well tuckered out after a full day spent here! Could not reccomend more highly, we will be coming back again!”
“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 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!”
“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 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’ve had a dog for over 10 years, from a baby to an adult I have experience with it all. I feel like our pets are the babies we didn’t have but always needed! I am available full time, weekdays and weekends! I have a very flexible schedule, feel free to message me if you have any questions and I’ll get back to you with 1-2hrs. I am a very nurturing type of pet mom, I prefer pets that are trained so we can spend more time having fun! It is just me in my home, I do have any pets in my home. I do have wood floors but carpet in my room. I like to go for walks around the neighborhood, play, give treats, but always make time for their naps lol! I am big on scheduling, when it comes to meals, and walks I know some animals have a strict routine and like to follow that.
“Natalia was a wonderful daycare mom for our pup. She made my pup feel safe and took him on great walks! She was also very accommodating of my schedule. I highly recommend her. We will definitely return to her in the future.”
“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!”
“Happy repeat customer. Our dog hates riding in the car but gets so excited when we pull up to meet Briane. Briane and our family give our dog lots of love during his visits and she is our “go-to” sitter for our little guy.”

“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.”

“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: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I’ve helped care for my family’s dog for the past 11 years, raising him from an energetic puppy to the senior dog he is today. Friends and family members often trust me to watch their pets when they travel, whether that means feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. As an outdoor enthusiast, I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and enrichment they need. When your pet is with me, you can trust that they will be treated with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own! I have a very flexible schedule, so I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I am able to adjust to you and your pet’s needs and routines! I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big decision. Safety is always my top priority, whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping by for a visit. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, follow care instructions carefully, and will do my best to ensure they are secure and well cared for at all times, all while having a bit of fun!
“Kevin was fantastic with his communication and punctuality. I felt great coming home knowing that our pup Lucy was well taken care of! He even went above and beyond and took her for a much longer walk than anticipated!”
“Whitney is an excellent walker! Sully was immediately excited and eager to meet her and was clearly very happy after the walk. I’ve already booked a second walk with Whitney!”
“Amanda was great! We have a small, super friendly but high energy dog that will not sleep through the night unless she’s had enough exercise. Inanna slept through the night after just one 30 minute walk with Amanda. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Excellent walker. We could not be happier! Communicative and takes great photos. Always on time. Our dog can be a little shy with strangers and she was very patient with him. Would book again.”
“Trevor was amazing! Took a last minute scheduled walk and made sure that my shy/hesitant dog was comfortable. He really went above and beyond and it was soooo appreciated. He was quick and through in his communications.”
“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.”
About: I've had a dog most of my life. I regularly help walk, feed, and overall take care of my dog, who is a rescue, and I've my neighbors and family members take care of their dogs. I am a fast learner and will be committed to taking care of your pets. I have also attended dog training classes and learned techniques for managing a dog on a leash. I have a flexible schedule, so I'll be able to care for your pups anytime! I am available for the summer as I will be attending college in the fall. I will exercise, feed, entertain, and love your dog daily. I will never walk your dog off leash and will follow any instructions you give me.
“Melika is very communicative and does a fantastic job. I’m very pleased with the work she does and the loving way she cares for Loki. I hope I get to use her services frequently.”

We consider Peanut part of the pack there and definitely plan on using them again for any future needs. ❤️”
“Christopher took excellent care of Oslo! He made sure Oslo stayed active and had plenty of playtime and it was clear he was having so much fun.

“Austin & Majid were great Rovers for Hercules. They were very communicative and ensured Hercules was well looked after. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Stacy and Jeff were perfect sitters for our Appenzeller- a crazy 6 year old Swiss Mountain dog. One was a PA and the other, a 9th grade English teacher . There was nothing they could mot handle with patience, understanding and humor. They allowed Luna to sleep in their baby’s bedroom!. Luna watched the baby as if if he he were her puppy; and Porter, the baby, seemed to actually wmjoy, as well as tolerate the attention. It appeared to be a happy, healthy match, and I I would love to have to have Stacy and Jeff watch Luna again anytime!!”
“Maria was excellent! Kepler had a wonderful time! She was incredibly responsive and accommodating to our needs (and traffic mishaps). The meet and greet was thorough and put us at ease. She provided us with daily updates and pictures. Kepler loved all the attention, walks, and treats. Would definitely book with Maria again. Highly recommended.”
