“Tanya and her whole family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pippa! She felt right at home from the moment she arrived, and they provided the best care possible. We loved receiving the photo updates Tanya sent—it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Pippa was while we were away. Thank you, Tanya, for creating such a kind and loving environment for our pup. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Pippa was safe, happy, and so well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“My husband and I could not be happier with Sophia and her family for taking care of our Crouton! She took several photos throughout the weekend stay and kept us updated on Croutons stay. We will 1000% work with Sophia again and highly recommend her!!!”
“Titan was immediately comfortable with Robin, and we were worry-free during our 8-day vacation. Robin kept us up to date on how Titan was doing and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. We will definitely think of Robin in the future when Titan needs daycare or boarding. Thanks for a great stay!”
“Pam and her daughter were so great with Pancho. They sent me many pictures and updates, it was obvious he was getting lots of love, attention and fun active time. Highly recommend and hopefully Pancho will get to pay another visit to their place!”
“Karen was great with my baby! She sent picture updates throughout the day and also made sure to tell me signs of him being sick. I would recommend to anyone to have her watch their fur babies.”
“Tracey and her family took care of my dog with so much love and attention! We started with a Day Care trial, followed by a weekend stay, and now a longer period. I felt completely relaxed while we were traveling because Tracey knows how to take care of animals. She sent photos and kept us informed about Harry's routine. Harry loves to cuddle and I feel like he has found a family that keeps him happy while we are away. I recommend her without hesitation!”
“Min did such an amazing job watching Coco! 🐶 He was so well taken care of. Min kept me updated with plenty of videos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It really showed how much care and attention they gave to Coco. I’m so grateful for their kindness and would absolutely recommend Min to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring! And I will continue to book with him.”
“Huan took excellent care of my dog for the time he was with her. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. My dog came back happy and relaxed—he clearly got lots of attention, great walks, and plenty of belly rubs. She’s kind, personable, and truly attentive. I highly recommend her for boarding and sitting.”
“Super communicative! My pup seemed very happy with Max and was able to readjust back to our home well—a signal that she maintained routine and treated him like family! Highly recommend!”
“Outstanding care was provided for my Golden retriever. I'm eager to book another reservation because my dog was so happy when she was with this very kind family! She enjoyed meeting their friendly dog, Dell, and she loved playing with Dell in their large backyard. Communication with James and Nicolette was also great and they were very accommodating when I arrived late to pick-up, due to a snowstorm.”
“My pet Ginger had a great time at Wendy's. She met other small dogs just like her that made her very comfortable and fun. I really appreciate Wendy's flexibility in drop-off and pick-up times, especially when I was traveling, and my flight was canceled.”
“Lina and her daughters were fantastic! They took great care of our two dogs over a long holiday weekend, providing numerous photos throughout each day. We would highly recommend them and have already scheduled additional stays!”
“Carolina was awesome with our pup! She made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. She kept us updated with pictures and videos. It was clear she treated our dog as one of her own.”
“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! 🤗”
“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”

“I needed a cat sitter on short notice and found Alice. I never used Rover before so it was a bit daunting to ask someone I never met to take care of our cat Pinky. However I sensed I could trust Alice 100% from the moment I spoke to her. She is very friendly, helpful and professional. She owns cats herself so she knew exactly what was needed. She provided picture and detailed updates while we were away. Pinky absolutely adored Alice and I didn’t worry about Pinky while I was away. I knew she was in great hands. I highly recommend Alice and would definitely book her again!”
“Jennifer is fabulous. Great personality and easy to talk to. She was always punctual with her visits, took care of my cats, took photos, and gave me information to ease my mind of being away. I will ask her for more help in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was little. I had several of my own, and have helped others. I’ve helped with a lot of different breeds and different ages. I’ve also taken care of outside/inside cats as well.
“Jane took care of both my cats while I was away and did an AMAZING job! She was super communicative and my fur babies were so happy when I got home. She took great care of them! Will absolutely book again!”
“Having Sara care for my cat, Maisie, puts my mind at ease that all will be well while I am away. She accommodates Maisie's bad traits while helping bring out her fun side. Knowing that Sara will be watching out for Maisie allows me to concentrate on my travels and myself for a while. So worth it! Thank you, Sara!”
“Max arrived right on time and sent pictures and updates of my cat. He refilled the food and took out the litter just as I requested. Super appreciative of his timeliness!”
“Monika is a very responsive and attentive sitter. She sent us updates consistently everyday and even extended the booking when our return flight was canceled and delayed our return home. We highly recommend her services!”
About: I will be happy to take care of your dog/dogs. My family and me have a lot of experience in doing so since we have our own dog, and often do dog sitting for our friends. I am studying online, and my parents work online full time. We have a lot of time and desire to make your dog’s stay with us comfortable. We are available at any time. I live in a big house with my family. We have a fenced backyard. We also have a super friendly Shetland Sheepdog, who will keep your fur baby company. We also live close to a huge park.
“Dymond was wonderful with my cat! Very responsive, caring, and easy to communicate with. This was my first time leaving my cat since adopting her and I felt very comfortable doing so knowing Dymond would be checking in on her!”
“Jina is awesome! We were referred to Jina when our regular cat sitter was unavailable and would definitely work with her again. She spent a lot of time playing with and petting our cats, making sure medications were given, cleaned the litter boxes regularly and asked questions as they came up. She also brought in an extremely heavy package that was delivered early which was totally not expected but always appreciated. Thank you so much Jina! It’s so nice relaxing on vacation knowing our cats are well taken care of”
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience with a wide range of animals-from tiny hamsters to senior rescue dogs. I've volunteered at shelters, cared for all kinds of pets since I was five, and currently dote on my 16-year-old mixed-breed pup. I understand how hard it is to trust someone with your furry family, so I make it my mission to treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. Big or small, shy or spunky-every pet is family to me. I’m currently available for weekend bookings only and offer care in your home to keep your pet comfortable in their own space. I’m unable to host pets at my place due to my senior dogs needs, but I’m more than happy to come to you and provide loving, dependable care whenever your pet feels more at ease. Your pets safety and your homes privacy are my top priorities. I respect every space I enter and care for your pet with the same caution I give my own. I understand how personal it is to welcome someone into your home, I take that responsibility very seriously, always reliable, transparent, and treat pets and people with kindness.
About: I grew up always having dogs in my family, and now I love caring for yours! I have fostered and cared for many puppies and dogs, and have adored every one! I give them lots of love, and help them feel at home. I work from home with a lot of flexibility, so am here for you. Since I work remotely, I can care for your pets in my home or yours. Available to help you with walks, overnights, weekends and more. I am mature, experienced and trustworthy. I will treat your dog like they're my own so you can feel comfortable leaving them in my care. I love to let them cuddle on the couch, play with toys in the yard, and have gates available, if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of a bunch of different kinds of cats with different personalities. I always find the best way to connect with a new cat is to be friendly and let them come to you once they’ve acclimated to your presence! I promise that if you hire me your cat will have a wonderful time and will be fully pampered and taken care of!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Travilah
“We recently starting using Sophia two times a week for day car and I am so glad we did. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and keeps you updated throughout the day with videos and pictures. My fur baby loves when we arrive and we will definitely continue to use Sophia for the foreseeable future.”
“As always- thank you to Wenyan for taking such great care of our Rosie. She is always so happy looking in her pictures and I love that she is in a safe environment for care and socializing 😊”
“Sabina is an excellent dog caretaker. She is proficient, communicates well, and gives our dog plenty of attention. We will continue to use her services whenever we can!”
“Sriju is a very kind person. She is attentive to my dog, Daisy, when she stays for the day. Daisy loves staying with her. I will continue to keep bringing my dog to stay with Sriju🐶🥰”
“Our dog Remy seems to have had a very nice experience during his first visit to daycare with Shoham. It was evident that she genuinely cared about the pets under her care and provided us with updates throughout the day. The house has an ideal backyard for dogs and Remy is looking forward to future visits!”
About: Hi!! I’m Michele and I live in a townhouse community in North Potomac/Gaithersburg, adjacent to the Kentlands. I have owned rescue dogs for 30 years, and I have always chosen dogs that are “hard to adopt” due to having a traumatic history, having accompanying anxiety or other behavioral challenges, and/or being a wrongly stigmatized breed. All of my dogs have been mixed breeds — a Doberman mix, a Shepherd mix, a Rottweiler mix, a Pitbull mix, a Mini Pin mix, and a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix. I have also been helping my daughter over the past two years with her growing petsitting business. I have spent much of my career as a consulting writer and communications specialist in the global health and international development field, and have mostly worked from home. Due to recent changes in the federal government, most U.S.-based professionals in this field lost employment in 2025, and I am taking the opportunity to branch into more entrepreneurial paths that speak to my other personal passions. I always make sure my dogs (and yours!) have plenty of exercise, water, and hugs! And of course food and any medications according to your exact instructions. When I walk dogs, I am conscious of allowing them to have ample time to sniff and explore, as this gives them the mental exercise they need and tires them out for good naps during the day. I also love to give dogs play time in fenced yard/areas with any balls/toys they enjoy. I am available for walks at any time of the day, as well as housesitting in your home (or my home if you prefer!) when you are away! I am also happy to care for cats and any other pets. Thanks so much for considering me, and I hope to meet you and your best friend(s) soon! I’m currently rebuilding my career from scratch and have plenty of time for pet care! The work paths that I am building will all be mostly work-from-home. I will provide long and short walks, additional exercise in fenced areas, water, food, and medications! I am forever a dog-on-the-furniture/bed person but will happily respect your wishes if you prefer not to allow that. I will also provide crate training if desired! I currently do not have dogs living with me full time, but my daughter has two dogs and can bring them to my house anytime if you would like some social time built in.
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, from lively puppies to senior dogs that require extra care. I’m knowledgeable in basic puppy training, including housebreaking and teaching commands. For older dogs, I offer patient, attentive care, ensuring their needs are met, including administering oral medication if necessary. I keep dogs engaged with plenty of playtime and walks, always making sure they feel secure and cared for. I also limit the number of dogs I look after at a time, so your pet will receive lots of personalized attention. As a dog owner myself, caring for pets is a key part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my day around their needs, making sure they get regular walks, playtime, meals, and any specific care they require. From early morning potty breaks to midday playtime and evening cuddles, I remain flexible and attentive to ensure each pet is happy and well-cared for throughout the day. In my home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and cared for just like they would be at their own home. I follow their normal routine with meals, walks, playtime, and rest, giving them plenty of love and attention. Our dog, a doodle, is very friendly, playful and loves company
“Huan was such great help taking care of my dog for 3 days. She was very communicative about his day and always sending me pics and videos of his day. Will totally recommend her as a pet sitter and I am sure we will be coming back again :).”
“Rong took wonderful care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease. She sent me regular photo updates, which I really appreciated. I’m so grateful for the loving and attentive care—highly recommend!”
“Ivan and his whole family took care of our little Oreo while he was with them. And their dog is wonderful and friendly. We got enough updates and pictures throughout the day. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Oreo at Ivan’s in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a young child. My Bruno (12 lb Biewer Terrier) and my regular daycare friends will keep your pup company - as well as my two attentive and careful children (12 & 9). We will love your pet as if he/she is our own! As a teenager, I raised cockatiels and I volunteered for the Museum of Life and Sciences in Durham, NC taking care of exotic animals of all types and sizes. Now that we have a yard, I've been living my dream of having my own dog (5+ years). It turns out I am great with dogs! • I limit boarding to smaller dog breeds with the rare exception for daycare when I know the family and larger dog plays well. • I work from home, so I will be with them all day. • I have a large fenced-in backyard, where they can get their zoomies out, and go for potty breaks as needed. I go outside a lot, which brings them outside more too (they like to be wherever I am!) • If your dog likes car rides, let me know, he/she can come along for short errands and pickups to and from school. • I can watch other kinds of pets, as long as you can easily transport them to me: Birds, bunnies, etc. using my “cat” rate on Rover. Request a cat boarding and let me know about your pet. • I do not watch cats. We have allergies to them To get started, we will have a meet & greet over video or in person, and book from there. Please let me know: 1. Does your pup has any behavioral quirks to be aware? For example, he won't go potty unless he's on a walk. 2. Any special feeding instructions? 3. Any favorite games? Looking forward to meeting you! I work from home regular 9-5 hours. I take frequent breaks before, during, and after work to feed, potty and exercise our fur buddies. I'm here to let them in and out of our large backyard for frequent breaks and play time. I have a large fenced backyard, with pickets to keep smaller breeds safe. I'm constantly checking that the gates are closed. They can sleep anywhere in our house, and most are comfortable doing so without a crate. When the weather is nice, I'll work on our deck to give them more outside time (because let's face it... these velcro sweeties want to be wherever I am!)
About: Trained puppies since 8 weeks old. Family and friends know I am patient and caring with pets. I handle emergencies professionally and am pre-med student! I’m a college student back for summer so I have plenty of time! I stay up late so I can give night time walks or visits. I’m free on the weekends so I can give plenty of care and attention to your pets. I have a fenced yard and big neighborhood park for your dogs to play! I have a friendly Maltese they can play with too! I’m athletic so I can go on plenty of walks.
About: I have taken care of dogs for more than 35 since I was a kid. All my family family members love dogs. We have miniature schnauzer. She is very friendly and can gets along well with other dogs. You can rest assured that your dog will be treated like a family member of ours. We live in a walkable neighborhood with close access to the park. Also I have a large backyard. I can take your dog for a walk easily and provide your dog with a safe and happy environment. Looking forward to meeting your doggie! I am home all day and can provide your loved once with companionship and care. I get up early and chill with them in the evening. I have a large fenced backyard and a roomy house. I love playing with them and taking them for walks on shady sidewalks and trails. I don’t have cages in my house.

“Mila LOVED her! Like immediately! Never seen her respond so nicely within seconds to a stranger before. She could clearly sense Leticia’s good energy :) I appreciated that Leticia was available to walk her on such short notice. Mila came back tired (a sign of success) and clearly had a good walk.”
“William is outstanding!! He’s is exceptionally patient with my senior dogs, they trusted him right away. William is a great communicator, on time, and professional. A+++++”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 16, helping my friend take care of their dog when they needed to go on vacation and whenever I would visit. Additionally, I’ve taken care of my sister’s dog for extended periods of time. I’m currently on winter break from college, so I’ll be here for about 3-4 more weeks. So for the time being, I should be available about every day except for Sunday. I have a fenced yard and large home. I can care for a pet in just about any place around my home at almost all times.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs then owned two blue heelers: one hearing and one deaf. Happy to take good care of your sweet doggies and that you can relax while you are away. I work from home and have a super flexible schedule. I have a doggy door and a fenced yard, and nice trail for long walks. Will invite your doggie(s) as part of our routine and happy to walk more than once a day- will give attention and be sure your dog is happy and comfortable
“Lauren did an excellent job with being patient and waiting for Rocket to get comfortable with her. She was able to get him to go out and walk rather than staying in and sleeping which her prefers. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I gotta be honest, I don't have an extensive list of pet sitting experience on my resume. But, I have pet-sat two dogs (a german shepherd and a minipoo) and have cared for three dogs throughout my life, one (collie) whose back legs gave out a year before she passed, and another two since they were puppies (black lab, jindo). My dog has hypothyroidism so I give him levothyroxine everyday and am familiar with diets to not trigger pancreatits. I have a fairly open schedule with an exception to Friday nights and Sunday mornings. Any time else I am fairly flexible and open to working! I can feed, walk, pick up, and play with your dogs anytime necessary. I can't house them but I am willing to drive reasonable distances!
About: I’ve had two of my own dogs since I was 2. I really enjoy fostering dogs and puppies, and just being around dogs in general- I’m also a big walker! My dog Winnie is a rescue so I have experience working with more timid, shy, or skiddish dogs on walks. I’m currently a college student on summer break. I am taking a couple of summer classes and volunteering part time so I have plenty of time to walk! I will always put your dog first, making sure they feel safe and comfortable wherever we are. I will make sure they get anything they need; frequent breaks, water, treats.
About: Hi! I’m a rising sophomore at Virginia Tech with a flexible schedule from working part time. I love dogs and have experience helping friends walk, feed, and care for their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and will make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs. I help babysit for a family daily from 3–6 PM, but outside of that I have a very flexible schedule and can be available at different times throughout the day. I love staying active and enjoy going on walks with dogs, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy spending time playing with them and taking them on walks. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy.
“I only had Doc for a month before I needed a reliable and professional walker who I could trust. Marc is the perfect fit! Doc is skittish at times but he warmed up to Marc almost instantly. He's punctual and always sends a few pictures of the walk. I definitely recommend him!”
“Jessica was so amazing with our pups, they loved her! She arrived promptly and left a very detailed description and shared many cute pictures of the dogs. We hope to book with Jessica in the future.”

They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for.
