“Nickolai was very communicative and responsive. We received pictures of our girl and updates throughout her stay with Nickolai. The home has a very large fenced-in backyard which our dog enjoyed immensely. We mentioned that our dog is accustomed to going on walks and Nickolai was kind enough to take her out for walks around the neighborhood.”
“Wesley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, it was evident that Frankie was treated like family and genuinely well cared for. Wesley and his parents have a beautiful home with a secure, fenced-in yard, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. We were able to travel out of the country with complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and truly prioritized. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Wesley to anyone looking for exceptional care. I received photos and updates. We look forward to planning our next adventure and rebooking with Wesley!”
“Bella had a great stay with Manami! Manami kept us up to date with photos and notes each day. This was our first time leaving our 9 year old lab with anyone but family. We were appreciative that she was so well taken care of. We would recommend Manami and Bella would love to stay with her again!”
“Daniela watched my 4 month old puppy and I couldn’t be happier! She was extremely responsive when we reached out to her and continued communication with us the whole time! I got updates throughout everyday with pictures and messages on how my pup was doing! Even sent us home with some more treats and a bone! Will definitely be coming back to her!”
“This was the second time my dog has stayed with Susan and Craig and she absolutely loves it there! They are so thoughtful with their daily updates and photos, and take all of the concerns and instructions seriously, and update me accordingly. I’m so happy to leave Jane with them because I know they will care for her as if she is their own dog, and I never have to worry.”
“Lori was amazing! She made Nipsey feel like a part of the family! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of Nipsey. Nipsey definitely enjoyed himself and we will most certainly book her again!”
“I’ll always trust Aastha and Daniel with my dog! They do a great job and keep me updated always. Plus they get great pictures of my guy when I’m gone! He loves their big backyard”
“Promise made our pup feel right at home. She was very flexible and made a last minute adjustment for me. I look forward to bringing our pup back when we need help again.”

“Thank you so much Alicia and Simon for taking care of Milo. it looks like he had great time at your house playing with Teddy and Daisy. Thank you so much for taking him out for a walk daily. Milo enjoys outside walk. Mamatha”
“Trish & Robert were wonderful hosts for Ruby. She had a great time running around their backyard when we met and kept me in the loop with regular updates and photos. Would definitely be looking to see if they are available the next time I have to travel without Ruby.”
“Taylor took great care of my two large dogs for a week. One of them can be a bit difficult with feedings, and Taylor handled it like a pro. She provided frequent updates and pictures of my dogs. I will definitely hire her to board my dogs again.”
“This was my first time using rover and not personally knowing the person made me nervous but after meeting Jessica I felt totally at ease leaving my dogs with her! Her family were all very sweet and clearly are dog lovers. I was able to get pictures and videos everyday which I love getting:) I will be for sure to have Jessica watch them again when I leave town again. I couldn’t recommend someone more she was the sweetest and treated my dogs like I do!”
“Howie was great from the beginning. We were able to do a meet-and-greet at his home before Biscuit's stay and Howie was very patient as Biscuit sniffed around the house. Howie sent an update every day with several pictures pictures and a nice message which helped give us peace of mind. As we were leaving, his wife came up to the house and Biscuit was very excited to see her. It was clear Biscuit was well taken care of, given lots of attention, and that Howie had stuck to Biscuit's schedule and all the rules we have at home. This helped ensure Biscuit's transitions were very smooth. Thanks, Howie!”

“Emma responded so fast to our last minute request and was able to do a meet and greet that morning with all our animals. While we’re were gone and Emma was checking in they gave fantastic updates on how our cat was doing and sent lots of pictures. Emma even stayed much longer than the visit required. Giving lots of love to our old kitty. Best last minute decision ever to go with Emma. We would trust any of our pets with Emma again.”
“Elizabeth did what was needed to care for my cat. She made sure my cat had fresh water, food, and cleaned the litter box. Above all else, she made sure my cat was well cared for before leaving. I will definitely be hiring her again.”
“Kelly was a wonderful cat and house sitter! She was responsive to my communications, kept me informed about my cats’ happenings, and was a pleasure to interact with. It’s wonderful to have peace of mind when I travel and Kelly provided that!”
“Tricia was absolutely great with my two kitties. Left the house in perfect condition, communicated every day, came on time, played with and brushed them, and bonus: she's an absolutely fantastic animal portrait photographer!!! The pics she sent are some of the very best I have of both of my girls. I'm so used to getting partial-body, proof-of-life hostage pictures from pet sitters (IYKYK) that her work was a fabulous surprise!! This was my first time using Tricia and won't be my last.”
“Taylor took amazing care of my two kitties and was very patient and gracious with all my questions and requests 😅. Would 100% recommend her and will def book her again whenever I need someone to take care of my kitties.”
“Kaitlyn had an amazing job taking care of our kitties while we were out of town over the holidays! Her updates were thorough and they clearly enjoyed our company! Kaitlyn was also super flexible and accompanying when our travel plans were unexpectedly impacted and we couldn’t make it home on time! Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“Megan was great! Super communicative, knew all the right questions to ask, was flexible with scheduling drop ins with my cat, and sent tons of photos and detailed notes. Very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend to others and book again.”
“Our cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”
About: I’ve volunteered at the Animal Humane Society and spent the past 6 years fostering cats through City Kitties Rescue and The Cats At Longstreet. I also regularly care for the cats of friends while they are away. I have a senior male cat of my own who is cat friendly. I am comfortable with shy and fearful cats.
“Kristen sat for our house and 2 cats and she was great. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, played with the cats (who liked her right away, as we did), and we returned to a very clean house. We felt very comfortable having her here and hope she'll be available the next time we leave town!”
“Elizabeth did a great job with our 3 cats. I’m pretty sure my cat Sherbert is already missing her. She played with them and gave them snuggles. We will for sure be asking for her to help us again.”
“Maia took wonderful care of our cat, Princess Leia, while we were out of town for four days. She was an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind that everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, both our house and our cat were clearly well cared for. Princess Leia was happy to see us, but she also seemed calm, relaxed, and content, which is always the best sign that she's been in good hands. Maia's drop-in visits gave us confidence that our cat was getting the attention and care she needed while we were away. We would absolutely trust Maia with our home and pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.”
“Jennifer has become our go-to cat sitter for the last few years, and has help support our family with last minute books (we were welcoming our first kid!). My wife and I always appreciate the photo updates, and know the cats are in good hands when we are away.”
“Rola did a wonderful job checking in and caring for our cats while we were away. It didn’t take long for our cats to warm up to Rola and start showing their personalities. Highly recommend!”

“This was our first doggy care time with William. Our experience with Meet and Greet a few days and today's doggy care day care was very positive. William is easy going and accommodates well. Our dog Leo was excited to be with him this morning. I can see Leo doing this every time he goes to William's house. Definitely will send Leo to be with him in the future.”
“Nickolai was very responsive & communicative. I was able to book last minute with him -for the next day! My pup was greeted with a treat which was a great sign! I also received photos throughout his stay which certainly gave me peace of mind. Bruno came home tuckered out and ready to chill, which is great because mom is ready to chill too after a long day of work. He will certainly be back if I am working in the area again! 😊”
“We can’t get over how quickly Tilly took to Madilyn’s place. Just picked her up from her second visit and she seemed pretty content to just stay there. Looks like it was a cuddle fest all around, we’re grateful to have been able to be squeezed in last minute once again and so glad Tilly has a happy place she’s comfortable in with fun buddies who provide great care!”
About: As a dog owner and foster/rescue volunteer, I've worked with all kinds of dogs, from playful puppies to dogs with special needs, including senior pups which have a soft spot in my heart. i work office ours during week days, after 4 pm i focus on giving my dogs the activity they need, and i dedicate the weekends fully to my furry friends. I have a fenced park in my building with games for dogs, I can crate your dog if wanted or needed, and I have plenty of toys and green areas close by to make sure the pups have fun! I have a pup myself very friendly that will be happy to be and have some company
“Nicole and her dog Ella are fantastic! My pup gets so happy to see them both. Nicole has a huge fenced yard and provides a safe and fun home! Nicole is a great communicator and my pup loves to go over there.”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born. I'm very comfortable and confident in giving them love and care! I've helped dog sit for my parents, friends & neighbors. I also had the amazing joy of raising a Boston Terrier to the blessed old age of 15. I helped train him as a puppy and in new ways once he lost his hearing and had memory loss in his senior years. I feel like it's a treat just having a fury presence in the house. My husband and I are both drawn to animals. I feel like they make the world a better place! They certainly add joy to mine! I work from home part-time, so that leaves me plenty of time to walk, play with and snuggle your pups! I'm available for boarding both weekdays and weekends. I have a nice size lot to get your dogs out whenever it is needed and also have many great parks & trails nearby for taking a nice long stroll. I am happy to have pets on furniture and sleep in a bed but also can give them the care they are used to (crate sleeping, dog bed, etc). Most important is that they feel comfortable!
“My dog Louie had the best day at Emily’s!! Emily works from home and keeps Louie active during the day. He loved playing with her dogs and the long walk he got! Louie will definitely be back!!”
“Sandy was able to petsit our dog Kori on short notice & I am very thankful that she was available. Kori was well-cared for and able to play with her dogs as well, overall a fun experience for him. Thank you!”
“I highly recommend Kristen and Robert to care for your beloved pet. I felt very comfortable leaving my Roy with them and their family of 3 other doggies. I felt they were very kind, friendly and caring. They sent me pictures and let me know how Roy was getting along. I will definitely contact Kristen and Robert again when I am need of someone to watch my precious little Roy. Thank you !”
About: Hi! I’m Elena. Whether your pet is an easygoing adult dog, a timid kitty, or a gentle senior who just wants a quiet place to nap, I provide calm, attentive, and high-trust care tailored to their normal routine. My animal care background runs deep: 8+ Years of Rescue Experience & Patient Care: I spent eight years volunteering with City Kitties Rescue in DC and The Cats at Longstreet. Through this work, I developed a strong understanding of animal body language, patience with shy pets, and a gentle touch for animals who need a peaceful environment to feel comfortable. Gentle Senior & Easygoing Routine Care: I love spending time with adult and senior pets who enjoy a relaxed pace, predictable routines, lots of affection, or simply lounging on the couch. I grew up with a Peekapoo and trained with the Animal Humane Society on gentle dog handling techniques. Pro Communication & Great Photos: You’ll receive clear, real-time updates and high-quality progress photos during every stay so you always have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and relaxed. Broad Animal Experience: While I focus on adult cats and dogs on Rover, I’ve personally cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—from hedgehogs, rabbits, and pocket pets to reptiles (including live feeding). I maintain a peaceful, welcoming environment and treat every pet like family. I’d love to meet you and your companion! My schedule is very flexible. I work part-time and remotely, which means I am home for the majority of the day and can give your pet plenty of individual attention, frequent potty breaks, and low-stress companionship. Because I work from my peaceful home environment, I can easily stick to your pet’s normal daily rhythm—whether that’s a midday backyard break, regular feeding times, or just having a cozy lap available while I work. Whether caring for pets in my own home or visiting yours, safety, comfort, and respect for routine are my top priorities. In My Home (Boarding): I use a low-stress, step-by-step transition process for feline guests. Just like my rescue fosters, visiting cats start out in a cozy, dedicated space (like a private room) with all their essentials until they feel confident enough to explore the rest of the house at their own pace. For dogs, I maintain a secure, calm environment and ensure my backyard is fully supervised during outdoor breaks. In Your Home (Drop-Ins): I follow your exact instructions to keep your pet’s routine seamless. My visits typically begin with fresh food, water, and litter/potty care. Once their primary needs are met, I spend the remaining time providing gentle affection, low-key play, or simply quiet companionship—always ensuring your home is kept secure and key logistics are handled with complete accountability.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have always been the person friends, family, and neighbors trust with their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I have plenty of hands, on experience with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, making sure they feel safe and giving lots of attention. I’m also a dog owner myself of a golden retriever, so I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your best My schedule is currently flexible as I'm in school, which gives me plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and other pet care needs! I love walking, I can do 1.5-3.5 miles in a day depending on what is good for your dog! Making sure they feel comfortable is most important while getting exercise no matter the weather. There's nothing I love more than dogs.
About: As a current dog owner (Rosita, 30lbs), and having had dogs of my own in the past (Scooby & Walnut), I completely understand that special connection of owning a pet. They become more than just a pet, they're family. We only accept one client at a time to ensure 100% care to your pet’s needs. My husband (Andrew) and I both currently work remotely so your pet would have my full attention and the schedule flexibility. My husband Andrew & I are the only humans who live in this house (no children). As a current dog owner myself, I have experience with pet care. I also understand special needs to your furry friend. I can relate because my last doggo, Walnut had a chronic condition that required her to take medication daily, so I have experience with oral medical administration. Be assured that I will welcome your dog the same way I'd welcome anyone into my home. I'd cater to their needs and make sure the dog is enjoying their stay or visit with me! I am organized and responsible but caring at the same time. Thank you!
“Howie was amazing with Maizey. She is a bit timid around strangers, but she felt right at home at his house. Makes mom not worry so much when she is away that Maizey is in good hands! Will definitely book Howie again!”
“Gabby loved her day care days here! The yard and neighborhood are great for her squirrel and bunny hunting needs! :) I felt like Gabby was well cared for and well-loved during her stay. She is excited to go back!”
About: I’m a full-time pet caregiver with more than 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, fish, and other small pets. I’ve also been actively involved in animal rescue and fostering since 2021. One of my most meaningful experiences was fostering a blind and deaf senior Chihuahua with Cushing’s disease in hospice care for over a year. This strengthened my ability to provide patient, individualized care for senior, anxious, special-needs, and medically complex pets. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and administering oral medications. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight house sitting. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine while providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and companionship. You’ll receive thoughtful photos, detailed updates, and prompt communication throughout your pet’s care. Multi-pet families are especially welcome! My low additional-pet rates make quality, personalized care more affordable for households with multiple pets. All pets must be listed on the Rover booking. I provide full-time care but may step out briefly for prearranged dog walks or appointments, as discussed and agreed upon before booking. Feel free to message me with any questions! For added peace of mind, every service booked and paid for through Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes 24/7 support and up to $25,000 in veterinary care reimbursement for eligible claims. Pet care is my full-time work, so my daily schedule is organized around the pets in my care. I offer flexible availability throughout the day and week, including early mornings, late nights, weekends, and many holidays. This allows me to accommodate established routines, recurring services, and last-minute requests when availability permits. I plan travel time carefully between bookings and avoid overbooking so each pet receives their full scheduled time and attention. I begin each booking by reviewing the pet’s routine, behavior, triggers, health needs, and emergency information. I double-check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes before transitions, keep dogs leashed outdoors unless safely contained in an approved area, and monitor the weather to ensure outdoor activities remain safe. I have experience with crates and crate training and am comfortable following an established crating routine when needed. I can also safely manage designated areas of the home using baby gates, closed doors, playpens, or other barriers according to the pet parent’s instructions. This can be helpful for maintaining boundaries, separating pets during meals, or providing each pet with a comfortable space. My goal is always to provide as much safe, supervised time outside confined areas as possible, with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow all access and security instructions, maintain the pet’s familiar environment, and leave the home clean and securely locked. Meet-and-greets are welcome so we can review care instructions and ensure everyone feels comfortable before the booking.

“Madilyn is excellent! She made herself available on short notice for a walk, which was very helpful, and she gave both my dogs what they needed on an individual basis. She was also great with my senior dog!”
“Kelly was great with my dog Brandy. Always on-time for appointments. Brandy would sit by a window waiting for Kelly to arrive, so I know Brandy enjoyed spending time with Kelly. I highly recommend Kelly for anyone needing a dog walker.”
“AJ was wonderful with Leia! She was so kind and caring, and when Leia got tired during their walk, AJ went above and beyond by carrying her part of the way home. We really appreciate her taking the extra time and effort to make sure Leia was comfortable and got home safely. It’s clear that AJ genuinely cares about the dogs she’s walking. We would absolutely recommend her and would happily have her walk Leia again!”
“Emma is truly the sweetest! She did such a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby during her walk. Emma was incredibly patient and gave her all the time she needed, including extra breaks, so she could enjoy the walk at her own pace. I really appreciated how attentive and caring Emma was throughout their time together. She even sent along the cutest little story about their adventures, which I absolutely loved! It’s clear that Emma genuinely cares about the dogs she walks and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I really appreciate Emma and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and wonderful dog walker! 🐾💕”

About: About Sierra 🐾 Hi! I’m Sierra, a caring, responsible, and dependable pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your pets with patience, love, and plenty of attention. I’m open to dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting! I enjoy getting dogs outside for walks, exercise, playtime, and fresh air. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the care and attention they need. I currently work full-time, but I have regular days off, shorter workdays, and weekends available for pet care. I also have help at home when needed, so your pets can receive plenty of attention and care while I’m away. I live in an apartment with dog parks nearby, as well as dog-friendly spaces within my apartment community. I’m happy to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of attention based on your pet’s individual needs. My goal is to make sure every pet I care for feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶🐱❤️ I’m currently free to watch weekends and weekdays! I’m not working right now, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets attention. I do live in a apartment but there are dog parks near me that I can take them to and dogs parks in my apartment complex they will be fully taken care of
“Kayla was a life saver for me this past week! I typically work from home but was traveling for work - so Kayla came over during the workdays to take Barley for a walk. She was flexible, responsive, and loving towards my two-year-old golden. She even offered to bring Barley a raincoat when it was raining one day the days! I will definitely be using Kayla again on my next work trip!”

“Jeff came through at the last minute for us when our dog couldn't go to the regular sitters with our other dogs based on his vets recommendation and I had prior commitments.”
About: Your pet’s comfort is my priority! I work at doggy daycares, boarding places, and have 3 fur babies of my own — so I know how to make tails wag. I work mornings Monday–Friday at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, so I'm an early riser and always have time for morning potty breaks and snuggles! I'm off in the early afternoon, which means plenty of evening playtime, walks, and quality care for your pups. I'm also available for house sitting on weekends — your pets will feel right at home with me! From my experience working at doggy daycares, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and has their own needs. Some pups feel safe and calm in a crate, while others get anxious. That’s why it’s a priority for me to get to know your dog and work closely with you to create a care plan we’re all comfortable with!
About: There’s something about a dog’s loyalty, personality, and the way they become such an important part of our lives that I’ve always cherished. My love for dogs began at a very young age; at just six years old, I had a Poodle of my own and was already learning the responsibility and joy of caring for a dog. Throughout my life, I’ve proudly had dogs of my own and cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. We recently lost our beloved German Shepherd/Husky to old age, and although his loss was difficult, it reminded me how much joy dogs bring into our lives. I would love the opportunity to share that extra love and attention with another amazing dog while their family is away. I’m a lifelong dog lover with more than two decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, ranging from 2 to 165 pounds. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, quirks, routines, and preferences and tailoring my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, affection, and walks when weather permits and with the owner’s approval. My 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard provides plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I also work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to be present and attentive to my furry guests. Whether your pup loves cuddles or prefers personal space, I’m happy to follow their lead and respect their individual needs. With experience caring for dogs who are anxious, fearful, reactive, or more challenging to handle, I’ve developed strong observational skills and can recognize signs of stress, discomfort, illness, or injury. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions and routines, and providing basic first aid when needed. Most importantly, I love spoiling my furry guests because, in my opinion, they’re on vacation too! 🐾 You’re welcome to bring their regular food, treats, favorite toys, bed, blanket, or other comfort items to help make their stay familiar and special. I’m dependable in all weather conditions and always prioritize the safety, health, and comfort of every guest. If my calendar shows that I’m unavailable, please feel free to reach out anyway. I’m flexible whenever possible and happy to see if we can find a time that works. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member into our home! ****** ******** ***** I’m proud to share that I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer with Can Do Canines and regularly participate in dog-related events. These experiences have been incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful to be able to contribute to the care, training, and support of these remarkable dogs as they prepare to change lives. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be readily available and provide pets with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also have a fully fenced-in yard, which is ideal for multiple potty breaks, outdoor playtime, and exercise throughout the day. Caring for a pet comes down to consistently meeting their physical, emotional, and health needs. The exact details vary depending on the animal, of course! -I have a 60-by-55-foot fully fenced yard and pet gates in the house (if needed); -I love to go for walks with pets; -I love to cuddle and play with pets if that’s what they are into; -I feed them a balanced diet per owners’ instructions. Fresh water is always available. -I’d love to comb them if tools are provided from owners; -I provide lots of daily update pictures and/or videos; -And would be open to any reasonable requests owners might have.
“She is amazing with our two dogs. You can tell she really cares for the animals she walks. She is always flexible and understanding with schedule changes. Our dogs loved her even though they’re usually very skeptical of new people and I would highly recommend her for any services for your pups!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and have had my own for 5 years now. I love spending time and walking my girl and would love to do the same for yours! I am available all day on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I am occasionally available in the mornings on Tuesday-Thursday with the right amount of notice. I can provide walking around your neighborhood/playing in your back yard or inside with the dog and their toys. I am unable to provide care for other dogs in my own home.

I feel like it's a treat just having a fury presence in the house. My husband and I are both drawn to animals. I feel like they make the world a better place! They certainly add joy to mine! I work from home part-time, so that leaves me plenty of time to walk, play with and snuggle your pups! I'm available for boarding both weekdays and weekends. I have a nice size lot to get your dogs out whenever it is needed and also have many great parks & trails nearby for taking a nice long stroll. I am happy to have pets on furniture and sleep in a bed but also can give them the care they are used to (crate sleeping, dog bed, etc). Most important is that they feel comfortable!

“Nickolai was very communicative and responsive. We received pictures of our girl and updates throughout her stay with Nickolai. The home has a very large fenced-in backyard which our dog enjoyed immensely. We mentioned that our dog is accustomed to going on walks and Nickolai was kind enough to take her out for walks around the neighborhood.”
