“I am so appreciative for the incredibly wonderful warm care Tanu gave Meli. Tanu and her two terrific sons were attentive, loving, and treated Meli like their own. Tanu made sure Meli got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddle time. Tanu worked hard to make it seem like Meli was also on vacation! It is such a relief to know someone so responsible and kind was taking care of my dog. I will certainly use Tanu to care for Meli... (more at r.rover.com/hCMSHg )”
“Shirley is the best! She is responsible, kind, and very communicative. We appreciated all the photos she shared and took comfort knowing that our puppy was in great hands with Shirley. You can tell that she is a true animal lover. Highly recommended!!”
“Grace took excellent care of our senior, blind Lab Mix, Dutch. It took Dutch a bit to get used to a new situation and Grace took it in stride and was very caring. Grace provided Dutch with her oral medication daily along with eye drops 2x daily. We recommend Grace and will be checking her availability next time we go away. Thank you Grace.”
“My pug Charlie had another wonderful time with Abbie and Peachy. Charlie feels really safe with Abbie even though she is a little anxious and Peachy is a great friend that helps Charlie to stay active and socialized especially in this cold weather. Outstanding hosts!”

“Mamdouh and his family are amazing! I have used them twice so far and fully trust them with my dog. They send photos and videos daily, which reassures me my dog is having a blast!”
“We had such a wonderful experience! Dior felt right at home from the moment she arrived and was so well cared for during her stay. We loved getting updates and could tell she was receiving lots of attention, love, and even some extra treats. Especially because Dior was in heat we were so happy she was comfortable. The thoughtful gift keychain was such a sweet surprise and really showed how much they care about both pets and their owners. We came home to a happy pup and couldn't ask for more. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their dog!”
“I am very happy with the treatment my dog got. She gave him a lot of love and many photos were sent to me. She texted me often to give me update. Lucky seemed happy.”
“Lu boarded our dog and cat for a few days. Everything went great! He and his family are wonderful people and they took excellent care of our pets. We received daily updates with photos, and there was great communication. We are very satisfied with the experience and will call on them again next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Michelle was a Godsend!!! I was referred to her for a last minute dog sitter. The moment I met her I knew she truly loves dogs. Michelle put my mind at ease and I knew Rocki would be in excellent hands. Rocki is normally standoffish and LOVED her immediately after meeting her. She sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the night. Rocki is very scared of thunderstorms and she petted her throughout the night to keep her calm. I will definitely use her again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!”
“Victoria is amazing! She made me feel so confident in leaving my dog with her! She is such an animal lover and was so communicative. She made sure Charlie was comfortable and welcomed into her home. She sent pictures and was constantly in touch! Hiring her again for December!”
“Melissa and family were great with Max. Melissa sent us daily photos and updates about Max. Max spent a total of 6 days and he seemed to do great with them. I felt comfortable leaving Max there and would not hesitate to have Max stay with Melissa again.”
“Narly was an incredible host for our two pups, Brady and Lola. While away she sent us photos daily. I would definitely use her again when needed. We feel very lucky to have found her. Thank you Narly!”

My puppy spend alittle more than week with her and she kept me updated with photos and videos the entire time. I am definitely planning to book her again.”
“I had a great experience with Tina! She took the time to meet Summer on short notice before taking care of her. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and I could tell Summer had a great time. She also has a fenced backyard where Summer enjoyed playing fetch and getting her zoomies out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
“Britany is amazing! This was our second time leaving Frodo with her, this time for a full week, and she went above and beyond. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. If she had any concerns, she brought them up right away and was always very transparent. When we dropped Frodo off, we could tell how happy he was to be there - he didn’t even look back at us lol! Britany really knows his personality and quirks now, and it’s clear he feels comfortable and cared for with her. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“We needed to book a boarding at the last minute, and Janine was able to accommodate. She took great care of my dog and communicated often during his stay with photos and updates. He loved running aroun in her backyard and the companionship that her two dogs offered as well. I would recommend her to any friends and family.”
“I can’t say enough good things about V! It’s always hard leaving Bluey behind, but they made it so much easier by sending regular updates and photos. My dog was clearly happy, well-cared for, and relaxed when I got home. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Cynthia ! I’m a young professional with a love for all animals looking to spread and gain some joy through my love for animals. Driven by a deep affection for dogs and a desire to enhance my physical health, I am exploring dog walking and dog sitting services. This endeavor is not only a refreshing diversion from my corporate tech job but also a meaningful way to contribute beyond the confines of my computer. It’s a step towards a healthier lifestyle and a gesture of giving back to the world, one dog walk at a time. I had my own little friend and we spent 12 years together. He battled a few medical issues making me equipped to handle any special needs of your dog. Additionally, throughout my college years, I spent time volunteering at animal shelters providing long walks on trails. While my journey in professional dog walking may have just begun, my lifelong love for dogs shines through in every interaction. My enthusiasm and genuine affection for these friends set me apart. At a party, you can spot this vegan in the corner spending time with the family's dog. I believe that every dog deserves personalized attention. My approach is tailored to each dog’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and engaged during our walks. I provide nurturing care for puppies, ensuring safe and positive walks that cater to their curiosity. For senior dogs, I offer a peaceful companionship, mindful of their slower pace and physical needs. Above all, my connection with dogs is heart-driven. I strive to ensure every dog in my care feels like the most special pup in the world 💖 🕒 Work-Life Balance: Working from home means I’m never too far from a wagging tail. My flexible WFH schedule works well with any spontaneity needs. 📅 Weekend: Weekends are for adventure! Whether it’s a hike in the trails or simply a walk around the quiet neighborhood, I make sure your dog experiences the excitement and stimulation they crave. Housesitting: I do not do extended house-sitting stays due to prior commitments and schedule conflicts.

With me, every pet enjoys a routine filled with affection, attention, and the utmost care. They will be under watch 24/7.
“Ana is the best sitter I've ever booked on Rover for my cat Romo! She is incredibly thorough and shared so many pictures, updates, etc. She went above and beyond to provide the best possible care for him. I am definitely planning on booking her again if she is available for any future pet sitting needs. She's the best!!”
“Juliana was wonderful with our super shy cat Sophie. She sent us pictures to update us on how things were going. Very happy with her service and would absolutely recommend and book her again. Thank you again!”
“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”
About: I looked at cats like I looked at the cool kids at school; I desperately wanted the approval but I didn't want them to know that. How could such aloof creatures be so cool?! Someone at work brought in kittens from a litter nearby, and I instantly bonded with the tiny one that crawled into my lap named Bear. Suddenly I loved all cats, and have had the pleasure to share my time on Earth with 3 amazing little spirits. My calm demeanor seems to help me be recognized as "cat trustworthy" as a friend once pointed out. I think sometimes that - and a love of all animals - is all you need.
“Elizabeth is super patient with our very shy rescue cat, trying to coax her out of hiding with open doors, music and kind words. She follows all our guidelines for food, water, litter & litter disposal to maintain our cat's routine while we're away. We hate leaving our cat but know she's in the best hands with Elizabeth!”
About: Hi! I’ve had cats most of my life and there is nothing sweeter than coming home to a purring kitty at your feet! I’ve had very affectionate cats and some more independent, but I’m the end, all want love! One of my most sweetest fur babies was my cat, Shadow Madeline. She was a beautiful black princess, with white on her paws and on her belly. She had a great personality and was so regal! I adored her!
“Lauren was terrific. Reliable and punctual. Excellent communication. Really connected with our dog during on her first visit. A pleasure to deal with. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I am a med student student who loves animals. I have been dog-sitting since I was a freshman in high school. I started off caring for an elderly dog who had a difficult time walking. I have also worked with a dog who had a limp due to an injured leg and needed to be given medication on time. With each time I sit, I give a summary at the end so that you can also know what your furry friend has been up to. Along with all the dogs I have worked with I also own an adopted dog. My family and I adopted him in my sophomore year of high school. He has taught me to be very patient and aware of his needs. I enjoy baking peanut butter cookies to feed him and have baked them for other clients. I am a great sitter because I will care for your dog as if it is my own. I will attend to his or her every need along with baking him/her treats. Something I can provide that others may not be able to provide is long walks along the National Mall. I am a dancer and enjoy going for runs. If a dog is able to, I would love to go for a run with him or her. I am a good sitter because I provide care that exceeds one's expectations. I have school for 2 hours on most days. Therefore pet care fits into my schedule easily. I enjoy going on walks which provide the perfect exercise for dogs. I also like baking and I tend to bake treats for my pets. I don't have a fence, however, I am at my desk when I am working. So I will be able to provide constant company to your pet. I love to go on walks and will take the pet as often as they need. I do not have my own yard, however, I do have a small fenced-in area I can take the dog for play time.
“This was our first booking with Patricia and we're really happy with how everything went. She's exactly what we were looking for in a cat sitter and we will definitely be booking her again in the future. She handled everything we asked for and then some. It was a relief to know that our cats were being well looked after twice a day. We also really appreciated the updates and pictures she sent after her visits. Highly recommended!”
“Melissa and her husband took such good care of my kitty while I was away! She was very loving and followed all the instructions I had left her. This was the first time I ever had a cat sitter so I was very nervous. But Melissa made me, as well as my kitty feel very comfortable. I will most definitely be rebooking her again. My kitty loves her so much!”

“Tyler took amazing care of my senior dog, Tyler— yes, Tyler took care of Tyler. ? They had a good time together that was evidenced by the pictures received every three hours. It was my first time leaving Tyler at all in over 6 months, so was quite nervous. For someone as worried as I am, I felt safe leaving Tyler with Tyler and will definitely book them again in the future if they’re willing. I can tell that Tyler genuinely cares for the animals they dog sit for and that’s very important to me— TOP NOTCH CARE!!”

“Michelle was amazing with Milo! This was our first time leaving him with someone else, so I was a little nervous, but she made the whole experience so much easier and more comfortable. She was very attentive, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs, which gave me a lot of reassurance. I really appreciated the updates and how she made sure Milo felt safe and cared for. When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, which means everything to me as a dog mom. It was clear he was in good hands the entire time.

“Tina was so awesome to work with! She watched our super high energy 2 year old lab mix (Kenzie) for daycare at her home. She sent lots of pictures and updates and made sure to ask us lots of information about our dog before we dropped her off. I appreciated how much communication she provided and all of the pictures she sent!”
“Grace was able to take Caleb on a last minute request for daycare. She was very friendly, knowledgeable about dogs, and was open to answering any questions I had. Her backyard is cute and has space for dogs to run and play and the area inside where she keeps the dog is spacious for play and comfortable. Will def book again. Thanks again Grace!”
“Peggy was great! Easy to work with, flexible, and really cared about our dog. We were traveling through her area and she walked Maple both right when we arrived after a 3 hour car drive and right before we picked up Maple with another leg of travel ahead of us- I think she really thought about the fact our dog had been traveling and would need a good long walk ♥️”
“Outstanding daycare experience and Peachy was a great host too . They were very sensitive to Charlie who has some anxiety and made her feel very comfortable and she felt right at home once she warmed up. They gave an immediate update at her first visit, which was very comforting. They were also very honest and kind , sent photos and followed all instructions. I highly recommend. My pug came home smiling and she’s looking forward to her next slumber party there☺️”
About: What truly sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience as a devoted pet parent — especially with senior dogs and emotionally sensitive pets. I cared for my beloved senior dog Rocki for 14 years, supporting him through every stage of life, including the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness senior dogs need. Today, I share my life with my dog River and also help care for my partner’s 16-year-old senior dog, so I am very comfortable with senior care, slower mobility, routine-based needs, and gentle handling. I’m highly attentive to body language, emotional comfort, and stress signals, which helps me support anxious, sensitive, or aging dogs in a calm and reassuring way. My home provides a safe, structured, and loving environment where dogs can feel secure and relaxed. I’m also patient and consistent with younger dogs, helping reinforce routines, calm behavior, and positive habits through gentle guidance and structure. Every dog in my care is treated like family with safety, emotional awareness, patience, and genuine love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I structure my days around consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and calm rest periods for my own dog, River, as well as my partner’s senior dog. Because caring for animals is already part of my everyday routine, I’m able to provide dependable, attentive, and structured care for pets staying with me. I prioritize supervision, emotional comfort, and routine so every dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family in a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each dog’s normal routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of rest and comfort. I pay close attention to body language, emotional needs, and stress signals to ensure every dog feels secure and relaxed. My home includes a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, cozy indoor rest areas, and close supervision throughout the day. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s established routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide gentle, attentive care, ensure safety, and send regular updates with photos so pet parents always feel reassured while they’re away.
“Trying to find a great babysitter has been one of the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do especially since I own a large breed puppy! Those feelings changed after I met Vanessa and her family. They are the most loving family I’ve ever met! I felt very assured that my german shepherd puppy was in good hands. I cannot thank Vanessa enough for the amazing service she has provided!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our pup Glacier tonight while we were visiting from Vermont. Y’all were very attentive, sweet and made us feel comfortable. We appreciate you!💕”

About: I have over twenty years dog experience caring for 4 different dogs in my life personally, plus countless other friends and family members dogs who all love me. I work remote, so I can take my laptop anywhere and work from everywhere. Plus my job is full of fellow pet lovers who all understands whenever I had to take my own dogs to the vet for instance. I recently had to put my little buddy down :-( and would love to get to help others take care of their own doggies. In my home I have a fenced in yard. I also love to take dogs on walks and meet other doggies, assuming they’re friendly. As far as meals are concerned, all of my dogs had specialized diets, so food was kept separate and prepared accordingly.
“Anna did a great job walking our dog while we were away on vacation. Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, she walked her for the full 30 minutes twice a day every day. She was very flexible when I asked her to pick the dog up at a different location and communicated a bunch of times to update me on how things were going. I highly recommend using Anna.”
“Lisa was great! She was very focused on learning every detail she could about Malcolm ahead of the walk, and even came to meet us before we confirmed. It was a nasty, cold rainy day and Lisa showed up on time, with a smile and ready to roll! We will definitely be seeing her again!”
“Meryn is a great and reliable walker to our dog, who took to Meryn so quickly. We’re grateful to have Meryn helping us with walkings during the week. Super responsive and a great walker!”
“Gabrielle was AHMAZING with Oakland. She is truly a comfort to his day. Knowing I am at work in the city and she is eagerly there to walk and play with him midday puts me at ease. Thanks Gabrielle for being Oakland's friend and walker”

I carefully supervise introductions, monitor behavior, and provide a structured environment with plenty of potty breaks, playtime, rest, and attention. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, explore the yard, or simply relax, I will make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of love while you're away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I keep a flexible schedule so I can accommodate each pet's individual needs and routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and any special needs before their stay. Dogs are always supervised, introduced carefully, and provided with a clean, comfortable environment. I have a secure fenced yard for outdoor time, and I can separate dogs when needed to ensure everyone remains safe and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they're away.
About: My main service is cat boarding! I have everything for every type of cat! I have wall perches and beds for cats who like to climb, I have tons of cat safe places for a shy cat to hide, and I have probably 10 different cat trees and scratch towers, and of course an endless amount of toys! My house is also always 100% dog free! My home is basically a kitty wonderland 🐈⬛ ⭐️ I NEVER board or sit dogs in my own home. My house is 100% dog free 365 days of the year! I know this is very important to some cat parents! ⭐️ I’m currently not available for any dog sitting or drop in services! I mainly specialize in cat care at this current moment! I don’t have dogs in my home, so if you’re looking for a cat sitter without dogs, I’m a good pick! I have cared for dozens of cats between sitting, boarding, and fostering. I have experience with cats with all different temperaments. If your cat prefers to hide for days at a time, or bounces off the walls at 3 am, I’ve seen it all!
“This was our first time having Kathryn walk our boy Sammy and she was great. Even dealt with a crazy family freind one day. The friend will never be at our house again when we are away, I promise you. Could not recommend her more. Thanks Kathryn!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs large and small since I was eleven years old! Including my own, such as Irish Setters, Jack Russell’s, and Corgis. I understand how to handle dogs of all temperaments, from little pups to old timers, and am able to adapt quickly to give the best care to each dog! I’m currently working full time, so I’m desperate to get involved with some animals more often. I’m available in the mornings before work, and in the evenings after! Whatever your need, I can do! I understand most people have different preferences when it comes to their pets, and I totally understand that! I can assist in crate training, walking, letting out in the yard if you have one, and whatever other specifications you have to make sure your pet is happy as can be!
“Ana did a fantastic job walking Archie. He likes short walk and then lots of play time and belly rubs. Ana was loving and caring with Archie she is also dependable. He’s always happy when Ana walks him. We can’t thank you enough with how much compassion you showed to Archie.”

About: I had my own dog for 15 years. Additionally, I have watched multiple different pets for my friends for extended amounts of time, including overnight. I work full-time however I work fully remote besides a few instances where I have to go on site once in a while. I also have frequent open weekends, and am available after 4pm most weekdays during the summer I normally watch the pets that I care for in the owner’s home to ensure the pet is comfortable with their surroundings and feels at ease. I do have a fenced in yard at my home
About: I’ve had numerous cats, dogs, birds and a rabbit! I love animals and the unconditional love they give in return. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your babies while you are gone and give you the piece of mind you are looking for. I’m retired and have plenty of time to play and check on your fur baby! I adore animals and will love yours as much as I love my own! Currently I am offering services in your home only as I have a high energy puppy in mine. If your dog also is high energy and wants/craves stimulation with a like minded pup, I’d be more than happy to see how they get along! My home has a fenced in yard as well as a doggie door, and my dogs go on numerous walks per day.
“This was my first time booking Melissa and it couldn’t have gone any better! Melissa was an excellent walker for Mocha. She was very communicative and kept me updated on their walks.

“I am so appreciative for the incredibly wonderful warm care Tanu gave Meli. Tanu and her two terrific sons were attentive, loving, and treated Meli like their own. Tanu made sure Meli got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddle time. Tanu worked hard to make it seem like Meli was also on vacation! It is such a relief to know someone so responsible and kind was taking care of my dog. I will certainly use Tanu to care for Meli... (more at r.rover.com/hCMSHg )”
“Shirley is the best! She is responsible, kind, and very communicative. We appreciated all the photos she shared and took comfort knowing that our puppy was in great hands with Shirley. You can tell that she is a true animal lover. Highly recommended!!”
“Lu boarded our dog and cat for a few days. Everything went great! He and his family are wonderful people and they took excellent care of our pets. We received daily updates with photos, and there was great communication. We are very satisfied with the experience and will call on them again next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Victoria is amazing! She made me feel so confident in leaving my dog with her! She is such an animal lover and was so communicative. She made sure Charlie was comfortable and welcomed into her home. She sent pictures and was constantly in touch! Hiring her again for December!”
“Yogeeta was great and very attentive when prior to my booking. It was last minute and she answered any questions i had an even set up a last minute meet and greet which was great. My puppy spend alittle more than week with her and she kept me updated with photos and videos the entire time. I am definitely planning to book her again.”
“I had a great experience with Tina! She took the time to meet Summer on short notice before taking care of her. She sent pictures and updates twice a day and I could tell Summer had a great time. She also has a fenced backyard where Summer enjoyed playing fetch and getting her zoomies out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Amazing experience, Vanessa is great, my babies were taken care of as if they were part of her family. Vanessa is so loving and really payed attention to every detail. Will always recommend 100 %. Trixi (Dog) and Ash (Cat) had a amazing time.”
“Britany is amazing! This was our second time leaving Frodo with her, this time for a full week, and she went above and beyond. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. If she had any concerns, she brought them up right away and was always very transparent. When we dropped Frodo off, we could tell how happy he was to be there - he didn’t even look back at us lol! Britany really knows his personality and quirks now, and it’s clear he feels comfortable and cared for with her. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“We needed to book a boarding at the last minute, and Janine was able to accommodate. She took great care of my dog and communicated often during his stay with photos and updates. He loved running aroun in her backyard and the companionship that her two dogs offered as well. I would recommend her to any friends and family.”
“I can’t say enough good things about V! It’s always hard leaving Bluey behind, but they made it so much easier by sending regular updates and photos. My dog was clearly happy, well-cared for, and relaxed when I got home. Highly recommend!”
“Kierra is AMAZING! Incredibly friendly, warm and caring. She genuinely loves caring for pups and puts so much energy and thought into it. Don’t think twice about booking with her!”
“Nancy was great! She made sure our pup was comfortable before his stay and then sent us updates while we were gone. She is very trustworthy. We would definitely have our pup stay with her again.”
“I had to go on a trip that was booked months in advance but with the holidays around the corner, it was very hard to find someone caring and trustworthy. I came across Chris and his wonderful home and thought why not. Once I dropped my pups off it was like they entered their second home. They were given full attention and the best treatment any dog owner could ask for. I was updated with photos and videos almost every hour. It was almost like as if I never left. I definitely will be coming back again. If you need a trustworthy and attentive sitter, look no further than here! Thank you Chris!”
“I adopted a dog last month and had to take an emergency trip for work and was worried what to do- I was lucky enough to come across Vanessa’s profile and after a meetup, decided to leave my new pup with her. The entire process from meeting Vanessa and her family to picking up Rio was flawless- the fact Rio shared a home with a home with a family vs being boarded was immense and the constant contact and updates kept me at ease. I now feel so much more comfortable when I need to travel knowing she can stay here and have an absolute blast in a family setting with a huge backyard for the dogs to play in.”
“Wendy watched my cat when over the weekend. She is extremely communicative and flexible. She sent a lot of pictures and updated me while I was away. She listened to my concerns and addressed them as well.”
“When I left Hartley at Karina's she was definitely nervous, but I felt confident she would be okay. Over the next few days Harley had a really rough time, but Karina kept me appraised about everything that was going on, and worked with me to find solutions for her anxiety. I felt a thousand times better knowing even though she was super stressed, Karina spent every second keeping her as calm as possible and making the situation as good for her as possible. I would highly recommend leaving an animal in her loving care with no reservations. She was amazing for my dog and for me.”
“Michael watched Finn over a 24 hour period and was very good. He was responsive and flexible and communicated theoughout the process. We look forward to boarding Finn again”
“Just an incredible experience. Michelle was a pleasure to have dog sit Hero. She sent tons of pictures and videos and also gave Hero a bath! I would recommend her to anyone. 10/10.”
“Our dogs had the best time staying with Krissy and her family. We got daily updates and pictures from her and could tell that our dogs were loved like they were her own pets. The icing on the cake was the absolutely adorable homemade dog biscuits with notes to each of my dogs, so sweet. We will definitely use Krissy again, she was absolutely wonderful!”
