“I can’t recommend Zulu enough! She took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She was so attentive and sent updates, making sure my furry baby felt happy and comfortable the entire time. I’ll definitely reach out to her again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Joe was great and we would be happy to leave Dakota in his care again. He was super flexible and provided daily updates which were really appreciated. Dakota made some dog friends and seemed to enjoy his lengthy visit. Joe lives near a wooded area so it was nice for Dakota to be a little bit out of the chaos of the city.”
“Very reliable. Melonie did outstanding in caring for Fitz. She made sure i see pictures daily. She became a 2nd Mom to Fitz; no adjustment needed when we dropped him off and he was happy and content when we picked him up. He’s normally anxious in change of environment but he really felt a home with Melonie and her household. No issues at all in our previous and current visits.”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“Staying with Elizabeth was a wonderful experience for us and our pups. She is responsive, friendly, and chill—what our pups needed. A great experience overall.”
“Stephanie and Luis are the absolute best! They provided fantastic care for Toto. The communication was outstanding and frequent. The reassuring updates made my time away completely stress-free. Toto came home incredibly happy and well-cared for. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Our 13 yo pitbull loved her stay with Christian! She is very communicative, sent us photos, and made sure she got all her meds. Would leave our pup with her again.”
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby so I was nervous but Alaysia was prompt, professional, and so loving! She sent many pics and videos while we were away and I didn't think my baby would want to come nack home. I know that he was cared for. I will definitely trust her with my Bleu again.”
“Lynette and Vincent took great care of my fur baby! We set up a meet and greet after which I felt very comfortable that she’d be in good hands while in their care. She’s very shy but loves to cuddle. I was also concerned she wouldn’t eat however, she was relaxed and hungry enough to eat the very next day. From the pictures Lynette and Vincent sent, multiple times, daily she had settled in quickly and nicely. She was running and playing with their dog. All a testament to Lynette and Vincent’s patience and dedication to making their home a home-away-from-home for my fur baby. I am so thankful to have found them and I look forward to the next pet sitting with them.”
“Aaron & Tia took great care of my Frenchie Bella. She had an initial knee injury that required crate rest and very limited activity and their willingness to accommodate our needs at the last minute for an extended (18 day) stay was beyond amazing. After the meet and greet with Aaron and their amazing soon I felt even more at ease. Prior to her stay, Bella was stung in the eye and was required eye drops in addition to the knee injury. Aaron wasn't phased by the additional special needs. While on travel in Asia, I received almost daily pics and a video. I could tell she was having a great time. She also needed to lose a few pounds to help with her knee injury and Aaron and Tia returned Bella in tip top shape and a few pounds lighter. She is off of her pain meds for her knee and her eye is healed. I can't thank them enough. When I met with them they only had a few reviews and I wasn't deterred. This is proof that the # of reviews does not determine the type of love and care your pup receives. I will be using their services again and again very soon.”
“Patience is outstanding! Warm, compassionate, and caring, with consistent communication and videos throughout our dog’s time with her. She went above and beyond with our extreme flight delays, and she is simply a wonderful human being and fantastic dog sitter. Will absolutely book her again!!!! What a life saver and wonderful person all around.”
“Diego treated Duchess like she was his and I love that! He sends updates to reassure you that all is well and he provides pictures! I will definitely use his services again and recommend him!”
“My wife and I are first-time users of Rover, and Ms. Kimberly B. performed above and beyond our expectations. She kept us up to date with texts, pics, and video regarding our pet's status and condition. In short, she was an outstanding sitter and keeper. Well Done Ms. K. ---Dr. & Mrs. M.”
“Brian is great! He makes our Milo feel like he’s on a relaxing vacation…while I’m on vacation. Brian’s communication is excellent and you’ll always get great photo updates of your pet’s stay. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Rae cared for Kenzo with so much love and attention while I was away on my business trip. I’m deeply grateful for the peace of mind she gave me, knowing he was safe and happy for all four nights!”
“Kelly was awesome with our Benji. Benji doesn't normally like strangers but he instantly loved her and felt comfortable in her home. She sent pics and updates throughout and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Benjis stomach was upset and Kelly was able to give him meds and update us on his poops. Our first time using Rover and she helped us become comfortable with it.”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”

About: I love all the dogs. I enjoy playing with them and taking walks. I love long hiking in the parks where me and dogs can be closer to nature. I have always met only great dogs. They all have different personalities and this is something that requires patience and understanding to allow the dog connect with me. However, as big or small the dog can be, it has no difference for me. In my life I had only one time dog biting me and it was when I was a child and was running through the neighbor's property and the dog did his duty and started running after me. He scratched my left leg with his teeth, but it was more of a gentle warning, than a bite. Dogs listen to me very well. Sometimes I get surprised myself how well they respond to me. This is something I would enjoy doing with all my heart Dogs are amazing creatures! Thank you, Oksana
“Gennevieve was the best babysitter for my Ophelia! She sent pictures everyday, let me know how she was doing. Her home was clean and she had one kitty so my kitty had a friend! I would definitely book her again on the future!!”
“I highly recommend Mickela for your pet sitting needs. She was able to fill a super last min need for drop-ins on my two kitties while I was away for a few days. She responded quickly and was able to meet me at short notice. She was very sweet and the boys took to her immediately. She was great about cleaning up their messes (including a puke surprise left by one of them lol). This was the first time I booked a sitter to do daily drop-ins and I’m so glad I reached out to Mickela. She was such a huge help. 🤗”
About: My partner and I have experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, from social and playful to shy and independent. We understand that cats rely heavily on routine and a calm environment. During house sitting, we carefully follow feeding schedules, refresh water daily, maintain clean litter boxes, and monitor for any changes in behavior or appetite. We provide companionship based on each cat’s comfort level — whether that means interactive playtime or simply quiet presence and reassurance. We are comfortable administering oral, liquid, and topical medications as directed. We are not able to administer injectable medications. Our goal is to keep your cat relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Alejandra did a great job dropping in on our cats over the weekend. She was on time, provided detailed reports, took lots of pictures, and asked good questions when some of the instructions we left were unclear. I plan to hire her again if she is willing!”
About: I've always had a special connection with cats, as they tend to gravitate towards me even when they're shy. As someone who embodies black cat energy I understand trust is earned, not forced. I respect every cat's boundaries, letting them set the pace. My job is to provide a calm, low-stress environment where they can feel safe and cozy. Whether your cat wants to play, cuddle, or just lounge in the sun, I'm happy to meet them where they are.
“Mikeala was wonderful!! Very prompt and professional, and gave me a lot of peace of mind over the holidays. My cats also loved her, and cats are the best judge of character. Would 100000% recommend her to anyone!”
About: From a young age, I've had a deep-rooted passion for caring for animals, particularly dogs and cats. This love has grown over the years, leading me to a fulfilling role at a veterinary clinic. In my position, I am dedicated to ensuring that your beloved pets receive the highest standard of care. I meticulously manage their vaccination schedules and regularly monitor their overall health, providing peace of mind to pet owners. Each day, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable, promoting their well-being and happiness. I am currently working full-time at a veterinary clinic in Washington, DC. I work four days a week and have three days off. My off days vary each week, but I receive my schedule a month in advance, so I always know when I am working. I have a friendly dog that will keep your babies company. He is playful and loves to play tug of war with other dogs. I will make sure your baby is well taken care of and loved. I will treat them like my own.
“Cynthia was an amazing support for me! I had never left my two 1 year old cats alone before, and she made me feel so comfortable. Not only did she walk me through everything I needed to sort out before I left, she checked in throughout the week and sent lots of pictures of the boys doing their favorite activities. Will definitely use her again!”
“Heather did an amazing job of taking care of our three elderly cats. She was able to give them all the medications they needed, clean up after them and play with them every day. Thank you so much, and our kitties thank you too!”
“Loved having Aja as our pet sitter! She is so nicely and communication with us was exceptional. She even went above and was willing to help us out and come back to our home after a visit when a friend accidentally locked our cat in a room. Can’t wait to use Aja again!”
“Erica was great with our cat. She was very responsive and helpful. She went above and beyond, e.g. by also bringing the mail inside and stopping by for an additional, next-day visit. Would definitely recommend her and work with her again. Thank you, Erica!”
“Amy took great care of our cats while we were out of town. It was very reassuring to get updates after each visit. We came home to happy cats. We would definitely book Amy in the future.”
“Iveth has been SOO amazing with my cats, 3 times now. She is always so quick to respond, and sends me updates every single day. I trust her with my kitties and my home 100% ♥️”
About: I’m a dedicated dog owner with hands-on experience caring for multiple fur babies with different needs, personalities, and sizes. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic care, and giving pets the patience and attention they need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with dogs who deal with allergies, sensitive stomachs, and anxious behavior, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to routines and little changes in behavior. What sets me apart is that I truly treat fur babies like family. I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, energy needs, and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure. Whether your dog is playful and active, shy and nervous, or just wants cuddles and consistency, I aim to provide loving, dependable care and regular updates so you can feel at ease while they’re with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for dogs of my own and structure my day around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m used to keeping up with routines, paying attention to behavior changes, and giving pets the time, patience, and affection they need. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or boarding, I make sure each pet gets consistent care, attention, and a calm environment. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, secure, and calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, potty schedules, medications if needed, and any special routines or triggers your pet may have. In a client’s home, I respect your space and do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also believe in regular updates, clear communication, and treating every fur baby with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own.
About: I have been around a variety of animals my entire life! Currently we have a 2 year old Newfoundland. We love the big and fluffy dogs. Winston loves making new friends to play with. We have a large fenced in Yard (5 foot tall fence). I have raised huskies for 12 years, so I have experience with the energetic, hyper active dog breeds. I also have experience with many other animals as I have had them as pets previously (cats, lizards, ferrets, rats, hamsters, birds). I prefer to pet sit for only one family at a time. This is for your pets safety as well as my dogs. I was a vet tech for 12 years. I am comfortable giving medications (oral, injection, topical, eye drops). I have experience with young and older dogs. Typically first potty break is around 6am and bedtime around 9pm. During the day dogs can go outside every few hours as needed. I currently primarily telework 3 days a week, and go in person to the office 2 days a week. Dogs are welcome in the home office and will get let out throughout the day. When I have to go in person, dogs are kenneled. My in person days are typically 9 hour days. Dogs are fed twice a day and sepetate from one another. Food bowls are not left out during the day. There is always access to fresh water. Dogs sleep in the bedroom with us at night. The back yard is fully fenced in (15 steps down). I also have a ti-out in the front yard for senior dogs who are not good with stairs. The kitchen and living room area are baby gated off. Gates are only shut when needed. Otherwise dogs have full access to 1st and 2nd floor. Winston is very friendly and loves them company of other dogs (playing or lounging togeher).
“Grace has been absolutely wonderful with my three cats! She made sure they were happy and comfortable the entire time I was out on vacation. If you need a cat sitter, she is the best one to get!”

“I cannot recommend Melissa enough! From the very first booking, she has been reliable, communicative, and incredibly attentive to my dog’s needs. The updates, photos, and videos she sends always give me peace of mind and make it clear that my puppy is not just being watched, he is genuinely being cared for and loved. Archie absolutely adores her and gets excited every time he sees her. She creates a safe, fun, and engaging environment, and it’s obvious that she treats every dog in her care like family. Melissa goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. What truly sets her apart is the extra effort and thoughtfulness she puts into caring for the dogs. For Archie’s first birthday, she hosted a birthday celebration with the other dogs in her care. Seeing him celebrated with treats, friends, and adorable photos was such a great feeling and meant so much to our family. It was one of those moments that reminded me how fortunate we are to have found someone who genuinely loves what she does. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, responsive, and will care for your dog as if they were her own, look no further. We are so grateful to have found her, and Archie is always excited for his next visit.”
“Max was really nice and good with my dogs, one of my dogs is really nervous around strangers and she was comfortable around him, my dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we picked them up.”
“Nisha was great when she greeted us at the door. Immediately Bash saw the other dogs and got so excited. Nisha kept me informed on Bash’s progress all day with pictures. Love how she was so on point. I’ll definitely will be using Nisha again.”
“Chris came through at a very critical time for us . This was our first time leaving our Rocky with anyone and we were very nervous of leaving him. But we are very pleased with everything , Chris was very responsive and sent pictures of our dog while we were away .”
About: Recently married and paying off bills! If you have animal needs, I'm your girl! I've had cats and dogs my whole life. All kinds of breeds-mostly huge ones🤣 husky, chow, labs. I currently swap pet care with a neighbor, so I figured why not sign up for Rover! She said she used to do it, and she enjoyed Rover. It gives me a dopamine boost every time I get to see the fur babies. I'll treat them just as my own. I work from home, so with enough notice, I can make time to make runs out to care of your pets! I am in Temple Hills - very nearby is easiest. I usually immediately let out the dogs or walk the dogs. Then I feed them. While they are eating, I will do whatever needs to be done such as filling water bowls, cleaning up messes, etc. Then once they are done, I give lots of hugs or play depending on the doggie needs. Some dogs just want to sit under my feet and sleep while I'm at the counter or some dogs have all the energy in the world. Cats tend to just be cats 🤣 I had a cat that requires injections, so long as the dog or cat tolerates, I can do shots, oral or topical meds.
“My dog, Freddie, stayed with Joe for an afternoon while we were out in Beaufort. Joe has a great location, super convenient to downtown and a great backyard for the pups to play in. Joe made things super easy and his dog, Watson, kept Freddie busy and entertained for the afternoon. Would highly recommend Joe and Watson and hope to have Freddie stay again in the future!”
“Alejandra is an a amazing! Me and my Miniature Schnauzer WALL-E relocated. We've been trying to find someone loving, caring and great with fur babies. Our MEET and Greet with her was so inviting. She introduced us to handsome lil guy Ritchie (Pomeranian). WALL-E and Ritchie for familiar with each other with no worries!. I used the day care service. Alejandra was great with communicating. Very professional and she loves showing love to WALL-E. She presented videos, photos and kept me updated on how my lil guy was doing throughout the day. Thank you WALL-E and Q”
About: I have had dogs and cats since a very young age, caring for them has been something that has been my passion for a while now. I love meeting and playing with new dogs and so does my dog (: ! I have raised dogs all the way until they were very old so senior care is not an issue. Me and my dog love to go on long walks and explore different areas in my neighborhood! I have a fenced backyard that my dog has access to at all times as well (: ! I work remotely most of the week so I will be there all day with the animals making sure they can get plenty of exercise I have a fenced yard that is easily and always accessible and plenty of room for a crate if that is what you use for your dog
“Aja did everything a dog parent could ask for in caring for our two Bichons while we ran some errands. We loved the updates and photos she sent and took care of one dog’s “accidents” without a complaint. She is a pro and we would not hesitate to recommend her.”

About: I had a dog named Buddy that I loved deeply for 16 years. Buddy passed away two years ago and it has been difficult moving on without him.I am looking for opportunities to dogsit for companionship and an excuse to be more active. I have dogsat for family many times and have experience caring for a range of ages and breeds. I am most familiar with caring for senior dogs. I work fully remote and will be able to be with your baby throughout the day. Please consider me you new sitter! Pet care fits into my daily routine, since I work from home, I’m able to take care of the dog during the day and night. I typically wake up pretty early and keep a regimented schedule throughout the day. I make sure the dog is walked. I make sure that I spend a little time playing with them if they’re older dogs and I spend a little time rubbing them or petting them. Some dogs don’t like all of that so you really have to pay attention to what type of dog you’re getting. Luckily I love all dogs so it’s all fun for me.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I provide more than just walks — I provide safe, loving, and attentive care tailored to every pup’s unique personality and needs. My background includes fostering dogs, working in a professional dog boarding facility, volunteering in animal shelters, and gaining experience in an animal hospital setting, which has given me the skills to confidently care for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels.

When caring for pets in their homes, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is different, so I tailor my care to each pet’s specific needs, routine, and personality. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication, cuddles, or giving extra patience to anxious pets, I make sure your fur baby receives the same love and attention they’re used to at home. During walks and pet sitting visits, I focus on safety, communication, and making sure your pet is happy, exercised, and well cared for every step of the way.

Some dogs just want to sit under my feet and sleep while I'm at the counter or some dogs have all the energy in the world. Cats tend to just be cats 🤣 I had a cat that requires injections, so long as the dog or cat tolerates, I can do shots, oral or topical meds.
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I have owned and cared for pets since I was seven years old and worked for the humane society for two years while attending college. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, patience, and a safe environment. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, car rides, and engaging them in playtime activities that keep them happy, active, and mentally stimulated. My experience with a variety of breeds has given me extensive knowledge of different temperaments, behaviors, and care needs. I am gentle, dependable, and committed to ensuring every pet feels comfortable and secure. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have rescued pets and helped provide safe homes for those in need. I am also a dedicated supporter of the humane society because I believe pets truly enrich our lives. Each animal has a unique personality and special way of communicating, and I find great joy in building trusting relationships with them. For me, caring for pets is more than a responsibility—it's a passion and a way of helping save and improve lives. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a working professional, I understand the importance of balancing responsibilities while ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I schedule pet visits, walks, feeding times, and playtime just as I would any other important commitment. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure your pet receives consistent care, companionship, and affection throughout the day. Your pet's well-being will always be a priority in my schedule. A place where tails wag, paws play, and dogs are treated like family! At 3BK Scratch & Play Hut, your furry companion will enjoy all-day play, safe and engaging walks, endless cuddles, affection, and plenty of love. ❤️❤️ We provide a fun, comfortable, and caring environment where every dog receives personalized attention, companionship, and the care they deserve.

About: I come from a family of dog lovers and have raised my cairn terrier since she was two months old and she’s now 12!! I’ve worked with big dogs, small dogs, old and young. I currently train my dog in emotional and psychiatric care as she is training to be a service animal. I am currently working a part-time job and do online school so don’t worry about me leaving your pets high and dry!! I have two pets of my own so I know how important attention is. I’m available whenever you need me I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where all the dogs (and dog owners) know each other. I have a large yard and live only a couple minutes away from a park. I can easily crate your pet if necessary and have a super shy dog that won’t bother yours at all. We have plenty of things to keep your pet entertained including a splash pad and plenty of toys

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my extensive experience and specialized skills in handling dogs of all ages and temperaments. I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, which allows me to provide tailored care and training to meet the unique needs of each dog. I am well-versed in training puppies, focusing on foundational skills and positive reinforcement techniques to foster good behavior and a strong bond. For senior dogs, I offer compassionate care that includes managing age-related issues such as mobility challenges and medical needs, ensuring they remain comfortable and happy. In addition to training and age-specific care, I am committed to maintaining a structured routine that promotes a sense of security and well-being. My approach combines attentive supervision with engaging activities, making sure your dog receives both mental and physical stimulation. This personalized and holistic approach ensures that every dog in my care receives the attention and care they deserve. Getting to take care of animals simply is one of the most rewarding things around. Dogs are always so giving towards us, so I believe that it is my duty to give back to them whenever possible! Dogs have certainly done so much for my life and I simply want to make sure they have all the love and kindness they need to thrive. Getting to meet new dogs and help people out all at once is a dream come true for me! Although I’ll be the primary caregiver for your dog, my home is full of puppy love! I currently live with my significant other, and they are a huge dog lover! They’ve had dogs for their whole life and is always happy to bring a new pup into the mix. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Perhaps the best thing about me as a sitter is that I’m a full-time dog lover! I am home every day except for Thursday which means that your pup will have all the love and attention that they need. No one likes to keep their pooch cooped up in a kennel all day, so I make sure that they can roam free and clear as they please! As I’m home all day except for Thursday, I’m the perfect fit for dogs that are used to having their human around them during the day--or for ones that could benefit from that! If you can't afford my prices I can work with you on the price you can afford it's no problem. As a pet sitter, your routine might look something like this: - **Morning:** Arrive to feed the pets, take them for a walk, and handle any bathroom breaks. - **Midday:** Check in again for a short visit, playtime, or a quick walk, depending on the pet’s needs. - **Evening:** Return to feed the pets again, provide companionship, and handle any additional exercise or bathroom breaks. I care for parts in my home all my clients home by making sure they're safe to have the food and taking them for walks and playing with their toys with them everyday.
About: I've owned cats, dogs, and even guinei pigs the majority of my life. I've had a total of 4 dogs and 12 cats during my life. I'm patient, caring, fun, and an outstanding friend! I've cared for dogs with special grooming needs, exercise needs, and varying quirks. I'm available most what's, except for Tuesday and Thursday, but can make time on those days if needed. I'm always available on those days after 8 though :-). By nature, I'm very organized and timely. I pride myself on it, and always will. No matter the size of the dog, or cat, I can work with your pet. I know that I vibrate an excellent aura, as I've yet to run into a dog or cat that does not like me. Most importantly, I know that pets are family, and should be cared for as such. I look forward to meeting you, and of course your pet!

About: I’m a dedicated dog owner with hands-on experience caring for multiple fur babies with different needs, personalities, and sizes. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic care, and giving pets the patience and attention they need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with dogs who deal with allergies, sensitive stomachs, and anxious behavior, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to routines and little changes in behavior. What sets me apart is that I truly treat fur babies like family. I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, energy needs, and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure. Whether your dog is playful and active, shy and nervous, or just wants cuddles and consistency, I aim to provide loving, dependable care and regular updates so you can feel at ease while they’re with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for dogs of my own and structure my day around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m used to keeping up with routines, paying attention to behavior changes, and giving pets the time, patience, and affection they need. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or boarding, I make sure each pet gets consistent care, attention, and a calm environment. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, secure, and calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, potty schedules, medications if needed, and any special routines or triggers your pet may have. In a client’s home, I respect your space and do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also believe in regular updates, clear communication, and treating every fur baby with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own.

“Joe was great and we would be happy to leave Dakota in his care again. He was super flexible and provided daily updates which were really appreciated. Dakota made some dog friends and seemed to enjoy his lengthy visit. Joe lives near a wooded area so it was nice for Dakota to be a little bit out of the chaos of the city.”
“Very reliable. Melonie did outstanding in caring for Fitz. She made sure i see pictures daily. She became a 2nd Mom to Fitz; no adjustment needed when we dropped him off and he was happy and content when we picked him up. He’s normally anxious in change of environment but he really felt a home with Melonie and her household. No issues at all in our previous and current visits.”
“Staying with Elizabeth was a wonderful experience for us and our pups. She is responsive, friendly, and chill—what our pups needed. A great experience overall.”
“Our 13 yo pitbull loved her stay with Christian! She is very communicative, sent us photos, and made sure she got all her meds. Would leave our pup with her again.”
“This was my first time leaving my fur baby so I was nervous but Alaysia was prompt, professional, and so loving! She sent many pics and videos while we were away and I didn't think my baby would want to come nack home. I know that he was cared for. I will definitely trust her with my Bleu again.”
“Aaron & Tia took great care of my Frenchie Bella. She had an initial knee injury that required crate rest and very limited activity and their willingness to accommodate our needs at the last minute for an extended (18 day) stay was beyond amazing. After the meet and greet with Aaron and their amazing soon I felt even more at ease. Prior to her stay, Bella was stung in the eye and was required eye drops in addition to the knee injury. Aaron wasn't phased by the additional special needs. While on travel in Asia, I received almost daily pics and a video. I could tell she was having a great time. She also needed to lose a few pounds to help with her knee injury and Aaron and Tia returned Bella in tip top shape and a few pounds lighter. She is off of her pain meds for her knee and her eye is healed. I can't thank them enough. When I met with them they only had a few reviews and I wasn't deterred. This is proof that the # of reviews does not determine the type of love and care your pup receives. I will be using their services again and again very soon.”
“My wife and I are first-time users of Rover, and Ms. Kimberly B. performed above and beyond our expectations. She kept us up to date with texts, pics, and video regarding our pet's status and condition. In short, she was an outstanding sitter and keeper. Well Done Ms. K. ---Dr. & Mrs. M.”
“Brian is great! He makes our Milo feel like he’s on a relaxing vacation…while I’m on vacation. Brian’s communication is excellent and you’ll always get great photo updates of your pet’s stay. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Kelly was awesome with our Benji. Benji doesn't normally like strangers but he instantly loved her and felt comfortable in her home. She sent pics and updates throughout and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Benjis stomach was upset and Kelly was able to give him meds and update us on his poops. Our first time using Rover and she helped us become comfortable with it.”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Marla did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Caramel. She sent photos and videos, which really gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Marla and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
“Alli and family were fantastic dog sitters for our dog! Right from the meet and great our pup was comfortable and well-loved in their house. Alli is communicative and attentive; we felt 100% at ease knowing Hazel was in good hands. We will definitely use Alli as our go-to dog sitter from now on.”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog, Maya, for 10 days, but Shelby was amazing and made me feel completely at ease. She sent me daily pictures of Maya playing with her dog, Rona, in the backyard, and it was so comforting to see Maya having fun throughout my time away. Shelby was super quick to respond to all of my messages, which also really helped. I highly recommend Shelby for anyone needing a reliable and caring dogsitter. Thanks, Shelby & Rona, for taking such great care of Maya!”
“Dena truly took care of Tommy as if he were her own. I received daily updates, pictures, and even a video. She is responsive to ask communication. Flexible with the schedule for pick up and drop off. My cat was in wonderful, capable hands the entire time. I'm looking forward to booking her again in the future.”
“Vania and her family are wonderful pet sitters and pet friends. Gaby loves hanging out with everyone and Vania is very responsive and cares a lot about her duties as a caregiver.”
About: Recently married and paying off bills! If you have animal needs, I'm your girl! I've had cats and dogs my whole life. All kinds of breeds-mostly huge ones🤣 husky, chow, labs. I currently swap pet care with a neighbor, so I figured why not sign up for Rover! She said she used to do it, and she enjoyed Rover. It gives me a dopamine boost every time I get to see the fur babies. I'll treat them just as my own. I work from home, so with enough notice, I can make time to make runs out to care of your pets! I am in Temple Hills - very nearby is easiest. I usually immediately let out the dogs or walk the dogs. Then I feed them. While they are eating, I will do whatever needs to be done such as filling water bowls, cleaning up messes, etc. Then once they are done, I give lots of hugs or play depending on the doggie needs. Some dogs just want to sit under my feet and sleep while I'm at the counter or some dogs have all the energy in the world. Cats tend to just be cats 🤣 I had a cat that requires injections, so long as the dog or cat tolerates, I can do shots, oral or topical meds.
