“Excellent communication and clean housing. I really appreciated the daily photos. Was, at first, surprised that he boarded more than one dog at a time but it ended up being just fine. Thanks for excellent care, Andy!”
“Erin is excellent. She took great care of my girl (my dog), responds quickly to questions and kept me updated with respect to how my dog) was doing. My dog seemed very content and relaxed with Erin. I highly recommend Erin and would use her again to take care of my dog.”
“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”

“Johanna is absolutely wonderful! Our sweet Millie has some extra needs and Johanna was so understanding and went above and beyond to make Millie comfortable in her home. We are so grateful to have found a reliable, kind, and understanding sitter!”
“Shanilka was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time ever leaving Toby with a sitter, and she made the whole process completely stress-free. Right before I dropped him off, Toby got into a chicken bone (of course), but Shanilka wasn't fazed. She was calm and happy to keep an extra eye on him, which was such a relief. She sent plenty of photos and videos while I was away so I always knew how he was doing. It was so clear Toby got tons of love and had a wonderful time. I’ll definitely be booking with Shanilka again. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Kerstyn was wonderful throughout the entire boarding process. She was so professional and responded to all of my texts promptly. My pup unfortunately was feeling a bit unwell during her stay, but Kerstyn was a pro at both managing my dog’s needs and putting me at ease. I would absolutely recommend booking with Kerstyn!”

“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“We are so grateful to Alex and Daniel for all they do — they are such wonderful people and we always arrive home to find a well-loved, bright-eyed, very happy and healthy pup! So lucky to be your neighbors — thank you!!”
“Diana and her family were amazing! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter from Rover and couldn’t have asked for a sweeter experience. She sent several updates with lots of photos of our puppy playing with her kids, on walks, and even learning new tricks. So adorable… and comforting! Will definitely book with Diana again!”
“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”

“Sabrina was so great with JohnnyB. This was his second stay with her and he came home well cared for and tired. Sabrina sent regular updates and pictures. It’s so great knowing JB is in good loving hands while I travel.”

“Catherine stayed at our house taking care of our young cats Lyle and Vienna, and the house, for 9 days. She did a terrific job. The cats were in wonderful shape and so was our house. We hope to use her services again.”
“Marilyn is an excellent cat sitter who goes above and beyond. She paid very close attention to the instructions that were given for my cat. She attended to everything that I asked her to do. She provided me with detailed updates on my cat. Despite my cat being shy, she managed to get pictures of him that I enjoyed seeing. I was most impressed with the efforts she made to connect with my cat who doesn’t typically respond well to strangers and is very skittish. She seemed very invested in making sure that he was doing reasonably well. I got the impression that she cared for my cat in the same loving way that she cares for her own pets. Her willingness to help on short notice was much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Marilyn and plan to arrange for her to care for my cat in the future.”
“Jennifer is wonderful. This was the first time she took care of our cat, and it went well. She is easy to communicate with. We will definitely request her again.”
“Victoria and her son communicated in a very timely manner. Photos were sent every visit and if something came up they addressed it with me as well. It was nice to have them as pet sitters and recommend them! Thank you once again!”
“Celeste was fabulous! Our cats were fed and happy and Celeste sent pictures of them every visit. My cats can be a little needy, but Celeste read through my notes and took care of all of their needs!”
“We had issues with our doorman passing off our key and Evan was very patient and communicative throughout it all! Evan has been reliable every time we’ve used him and we will certainly continue to use him!”
“Daria helped us watch our shy ten year old cat, Roux, on short notice. She made time to come over and meet her first and get to know the lay of our house. She took the time to get Roux, who usually hides, to come out during visits and sent us such thoughtful and wonderful updates. We couldn’t more grateful. Wonderful sitter!”
“First time leaving this particular pet with a sitter. Couldn’t be happier with the care and attention Jana provided! And beyond being lovely with my pet, she was also very nice and flexible when my schedule changed.”
“Victoria unfortunately had to deal with my kitty passing away while I was away. She acted quickly and took him to the vet where he could be held until I returned the next day. I am grateful for her help and resolve to do the right thing.”
“Ana is always super prompt and professional. She’s kind and thorough in her communication, both of which seem to spill over into how she cares for pets. Always love booking with her :)”
“Caroline was super nice! Very flexible about a last min booking and flexible about coming later than planned. Great with our cats and she was able to give our older cat medicine too! Thank you Caroline!”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our cat. She is reliable, dependable, and clearly has a natural way with animals—our cat connected with her right away. She kept us very well informed, sending thoughtful, detailed updates and a photo so we knew exactly how our cat was doing. She fed her, played with her, and made sure everything was clean and tidy. She was also always very responsive. We felt completely comfortable knowing our cat was being so well cared for. We would happily book Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”
“I messaged Karsyn last minute when my other sitter fell through, and she was eager to help! She was very patient and accommodating when there were issues getting into my home. Lots of pictures of my cat happy and playing! I would recommend her help to anyone!”
About: Since rescuing a stray cat in 2021, I have been responsible for every aspect of her daily care, including feeding, cleaning the litter box, grooming, administering medication when needed, and monitoring her health and behavior. Caring for a rescued cat has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to earn the trust of shy or anxious cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I always strive to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared
“Sara is a fantastic sitter! I have been consistently rebooking with her for months and feel confident my cats are in excellent hands when I am away. She takes great care of my cats, including shifts in their medication. Highly recommend!”

“Lee is great! She is easy to communicate with and very responsible. My dog has visited Lee for day care several times and loves hanging out with both Lee and her dog Lucy!”
About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.
“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.”
“Andy took great care of our Sadie. She's known to have a bit of a challenging personality but she adapted well in his care. He clearly has a lot of experience caring for dogs.”
“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”
“Grette has taken care of our puppy for the past two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s kind, reliable, and our puppy comes home happy and tired every time. Great communication, flexible scheduling, and amazing help with puppy training- plus the sweetest attention to details like daily brushing. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing them with the best care. I am attentive, reliable, and focused on giving your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. In addition to general pet care, I’m comfortable with senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make sure they feel safe and happy while in my care. I often walk to the park, which give me the opportunity to interact with dogs from other neighbors or friends. I really enjoy these walks, where the dogs can socialize and explore, making me feel comfortable taking care of them in the future. Also, during our outings, I always make sure to be attentive to the needs of the dogs I meet, giving them quality time and exercise. My approach is always in an active environment, full of love and respect, and I’d love to share that with the pets. I live with my two daughters, and we’re always looking for outdoor activities. We love going to the park, where we play, run, and explore together. When I care for a pet, I make sure they enjoy these walks and have a great time. I provide a safe and comfortable space at home, with lots of attention and love, and of course, I enjoy taking them to local parks where they can socialize and burn energy. At home, they feel like part of the family since my daughters are also very affectionate with the dogs. Every day is a new adventure for us, and pets are always welcome to join in on our daily activities
“Michael was fantastic with our dog, Charlie! Very responsive and provided updates throughout the day. Look forward to having Michael watch Charlie again soon!”
“Juliet is the best doggie sitter! My pup loves her place so much. She is kind and attentive and professional and sends great pics and updates. Highly recommend.”
“Joey did a fantastic job to take great care of my 7-year-old labrador who had a bit of separation anxiety. I am so grateful with Joey to accept the last minute request after a brief meet up. I would love to use his services again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Joey for your flexibility and patience with Meimei!”
“Rebeca is the best! Our nervous dog adored her and had so much fun. Rebeca took such good care of her, she came home happy and tired, they must have played with every toy and run outside!”
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.
“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“My maltipoo had a great time with Asma! Asma quickly helped him feel situated in a new environment, and she was caring, fun, and patient with him (she also shared some new treats for him which he loved). Asma’s also very responsive and sent nice updates of their day together. Looking forward to the next time!”
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.
“Vernon took lovely care of our boy! He was communicative, timely and flexible. He took our request at the last minute and adjusted to our schedule. He is efficient and I could tell that our boy had a good time. This was our first time using Rover and he gave us the peace of mind. We will definitely be using him again!”

“Justin was wonderful! He sent check-in each time he walked and fed our dog Juni, and he clearly enjoyed spending time with her. We were happy to know he’s walked a few of our neighbors’ dogs too, so he was very comfortable with the neighborhood. I will definitely be hiring him again!”

“Genevieve was wonderful! Very responsible and clearly cares deeply for animals. As a new pet owner, she made us feel very comfortable and confident having her be with our new pup. Highly recommend her - we plan to continue to use her in the future!”
About: I spent my childhood taking care of my childhood pets and neighborhood pets as well. I’m completely comfortable with animals and would love to have fun with your pets! I love going on walks, keeping pets active and engaged, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I am a senior at American University, so my availability is fairly open. I am available on Saturdays all day. On Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I am unavailable from 2pm to 7pm. However, I am available during other times on those weekdays. I am unavailable from 4pm to 7pm on Wednesdays, but free other times on Wednesdays. I have experience house-sitting and cleaning homes, so I know the importance of respecting someone else’s space. I feel confident that I can care for pets and assure owners that their pets and homes will be safe and intact.

“Celeste was very easy to communicate with and left a thorough report card of their walk every day. Celeste arrived right on time to take Remy for a long walk and even took him to the park to play fetch. I highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“Ariana was great! She worked with my very stubborn dog and got him around the block perfectly. I would definitely hire her again. If she can work with my giant stubborn dog, she can take care of any dog!”
About: In addition to caring for my own dogs since I was a child, I've been the go-to petsitter for my family and neighborhood throughout high school. Now that I'm in college, I miss fur babies dearly, and I'm excited to get back into the business! I'm at school full-time, but my weekends and Mondays are completely free, plus Thursday mornings and evenings are open as well. I'd be happy to look after your pets during weekend getaways, or stop by as needed when evening events take you away from home. Your home is yours, and I'm more than willing to follow your routine and rules so that your pet feels secure and you need not worry while trying to enjoy some time away. I also tend to be very communicative, so that you know exactly what's up and can rest easy.
About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs. I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! I will be out of the country starting Sep 6 until mid November. I will have access to internet so if you are looking for services after mid-November, then please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you 😊 First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.
“Anna is an incredible communicator. My pup and I are so lucky that we have found such a wonderful walk companion for her. She is a fun loving creature who needed someone with an understanding of her excitement on encountering other dogs as well as ensuring she has plenty of play.”
“First walk with our boy Ziggy and she was great. On time, took him out to the dog park, he came back tired. All you can ask for! Super nice and asked all the right questions. We felt very comfortable with her.”
About: I have a pet Russian tortoise who requires special care and delicate handling that's more involved than, say, walking and feeding a dog or taking care of a cat. I have a pretty flexible schedule both this summer and into the fall. Pet care can easily be scheduled around my summer job and college classes. I make sure pets, my own and others that I've been responsible for, get plenty of attention. I don't leave them until all their needs have been met

We really appreciate his efforts, his updates, and his great photos! We’d be happy to book with Byamba again in the future for Juke. Overall, we’re very satisfied and grateful for his dedication!”

And it's the little things that count - all of my dog's stuff (bowls, measuring cups, travel bag) was returned to me in immaculate condition. I didn't realize how much I would appreciate that until Kamille did that. She also wiped him down with a beautifully scented wipe so he smelled like an angel at the end of the visit. Thank you.”
