“Rae took good care of Jax. She took him in after a very last minute request from me to board for a weekend and was communicative. Would recommend her for anyone needing dog care boarding.”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“I use Kelly all the time!!!!! She is wonderful with my anxious Shih Tzu. Very gentle and patient with him. She sends pictures and provides regular updates. I refer her to everyone!!!”
“⸻ I couldn’t be more grateful for Dena and the amazing care she gave my dog, Chewie! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. She treated him like he was her own—giving him tons of love, attention, and making sure he was comfortable the whole time. What really stood out to me was how she kept me updated every step of the way with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I highly recommend Dena to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly dedicated to caring for your furry family member. Thank you again, Dena!”
“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”
“First time using Rover. Shane was magnificent and my dog is so upbeat. Definitely will use him again. He sent constant updates and pictures of how my dog was going throughout the stay.”
“Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Marlene took wonderful care of our dog while we were gone for 5 days. We appreciated all the pictures and could tell Zoe was having a great time! We would definitely book with Marlene again and recommend to others!”
“Brie had a lot of fun with Katie! Katie sent wonderful pictures and videos, and I could see she was having a good time. It's hard to be away from one's pup and I was grateful that she could stay with Katie over the weekend.”
About: Currently work as a Pediatric Physician Assistant and love doing Rover on the side! currently have a 2 adopted rescue from South Korea. I’ve been doing Rover with all different types of dogs. I love getting my steps in and would love to have another friend join me whether in the hot or cold weather. Currently working full time and have more time to spend with other dogs on the weekends! I would love meet your dog and give them all the love. I love getting my steps in so we could go on walks together, but also if your dog just needs some attention at home I would love to stop by and let them on a bathroom break and give them lots of love!
About: I grew up having dogs and have always loved caring for them! I've been dog sitting for 6+ years for friends and family and treat all dogs as my own. They're always part of the family and allowed on furniture, get plenty of play, walks, attentions, and of course treats (if allowed by you!). Flexible office/WFH schedule that will be tailored to your dogs needs! We will start each day with a walk or yard time (whatever your dog prefers), make sure they are let out every few hours, and always get exercise in the evening (whether it's another walk, yard time, or the dog park if they're up for it!). Fenced in front AND back yard! My 3.5 year old doodle, Millie, is friendly and loves everyone. She mostly loves to nap but gets excited to have other dogs over and likes to play - in small doses :).
“Michelle was absolutely spectacular. I've had some not-so-great experiences leaving my pup overnight with new people and she made me feel so comfortable with having Annie stay with her. Not only that, but it was my first trip out of the country, so I was extra nervous because I wasn't sure how accessible I would be. Annie had an absolutely amazing time with Michelle, her little one, and Winston! Michelle sent me tons and tons of pics and videos, gave me regular updates on her bathroom breaks and how she was eating, just generally ensured that I felt Annie was safe the entire trip. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her again for any trips I take in the future!”
“Nina did a great job watching my dog Lenny! She went out of her way to drop my dog off so he wouldn’t have to walk in the rain. Her dog Ricky is a sweetheart!”
“Jodee, AJ and Maverick took care of our Daphne as if she was there own. She had a blast playing with Maverick and touring their neighborhood!!! Thank you for making Daphne feel at home❤️”
“Catherine & Nikhit were wonderful with our dog. We did a meet and greet beforehand and they sent plenty of updates. They were attentive and had a great backyard for Benny to play in.”
“Jessica did a great job with our puppy Balto! She sent us plenty of updates and pictures and he loved spending the weekend with her and her dog Kaya! Definitely recommend!”
“I left my dog Archie with Francise for a couple days and she was great with him! He’s an anxious one and when I went to get him he seemed so happy and comfortable. Francise was great with accommodating me and had great communication while I was away.”

“Great service, very thorough. We loved the daily reports and photos. We feel very confident that our cats are in good hands and everything is perfect upon our return”
“Grateful to Terez for her cat sitting services! We have a shy cat that likes to hide from sitters. It was no biggie for Terez, she's a pro. She feed Bandit and cleaned the litter box, brought in mail and communicated each day. Will book again, thanks!”
“This was both my first time using Rover and leaving Babette. Rachel really made it a comfortable experience with very thorough updates, lots of pictures and a lot of playtime for teenage Babette (lots of energy!) she clearly has a gift with animals and I look forward to booking Rachel again!”
“Liza was so great with the cats while I was away. She was super responsive and sent some of the best pictures of my cat Theo I have ever seen (and he’s a squirmer)! Getting into my building while I’m away is a bit difficult, but Liza was so great about setting the access keys up ahead of time. I will definitely be using her to watch the cats again!”
“It was great having Megan care for my cat, Bella. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, which was reassuring during my travels. Thanks, Megan!”
“Abbey was great! She sent us timely updates about our two cats, which helped us so much while missing our pets when out of town. She also took the time every time she visited to go above and beyond to play with them and spend quality time. As two very social cats, it was much appreciated. When we returned home, you could tell they were happy and loved while we were gone. Will definitely be using Abbey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets!”
“Caroline is great! She was able to work with my dates for a holiday booking which was amazing. Very easy to talk to and provided great care when dropping in. She sent me very cute pictures and provided descriptive report cards. I will definitely book again for my next vacation. Thank you Caroline!”
“Laura was AMAZING. This was my first time leaving my cat Dublin with a sitter so I was quite nervous. Laura was great with Dublin, she was communicative and sent pictures. There was so point on my trip where I felt stressed or worried about Dublin as I knew Laura was handling things! 100/10 review. Thank you Laura!!!”
“Byul has been heaven sent. An unexpected trip came up at the last minute over the Memorial Day holiday. My previously vetted sitters were unavailable. Byul came to the rescue. She accepted the last minute assignment and took charge. My cat Cashmere was in completely caring and professional hands. I'm so grateful for the service she provided for me and Cashmere.”
“Sophia was great to work with! She was willing to accommodate my request with short notice and was flexible when I needed to modify plans. She was very communicative and sent photo updates. She gave great attention and care to my two pets. They were immediately comfortable with her. I will definitely book her again!”
“Alex was so great and responsive taking care of my cat while we were away. She is very reliable and provided additional comfort by bringing in packages and ensuring alarms were set. Will definitely be requesting again!!”
“Nicollette took amazing care of our cat while we were away. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking which saved our trip, and we returned to a happy healthy cat. Thanks, Nicollette!!”
“Emma was great! She sent a ton of pictures everyday and provided details on how everything was doing! I could tell that she really cared about my pet, I’m really happy that I was able to have her drop in for the week. I will definitely rebook with her! Thank you Emma!!”

“Jen and Louis saved the day and came through for me and my chiweenie Willar when I really needed a sitter who understands my senior pup's needs. Willar has dietary restrictions and some quirks, and Jen was attentive, followed all the instructions for Willar's routine, and she asked very thoughtful questions. Additionally, her dog Louis is so welcoming and sweet. They really helped with some transitions I'm going through and were very accommodating.”
“Nina was great! We were on vacation and had a last minute change of plans. Nina responded quickly to our inquiry and was able to accommodate us last minute. She took great care of Shadow! I would use her again if we’re ever back in DC ?”
“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Megan. She really went above and beyond for Ollie and it shows. He crashed every time he came home which shows just how much play he got at Megan’s. We will definitely be back!”
“We were so happy with the care they provided. I loved the updates and photos and even though I made a mistake and booked the wrong dates Eduardo was able to accommodate the change in time/dates. We will trust them with our puppy in the future and highly recommend them”
“Abigail and Cole were absolutely wonderful with our pup. They are friendly, communicative, and clearly treated our dog like their own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and felt at ease the entire time knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Abigail and Cole to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!”
“Kasey made me AND Pinot feel so at ease! She was so enjoyable to communicate and work with. Very detailed and thorough in her updates and overall a genuine and caring person! Thank you for having Pinot.”

About: I have three years old golden doodle. We have scheduled potty walk and play time at least three times per day. I might spoil your dog with good caring ❤️ Morning potty walk / lunch play & walk (30-40mins) / evening play &walk (30-40mins) + before bed time pee walk. Also scheduled meal time after walk. I keep dogs happy but also safe. I normally share photos of your dog regularly to make sure you know your dog’s doing well through Rover app.
“You guys were a life saver, I must admit I was a bit nervous as this was a first time using Rover. But Natalie and Bryce made me at ease for the moment we met. Now let’s get into Dutch :) we had a time getting in the truck as he was still trying to follow you guys!!! That tells me he really enjoyed the care you provided. Thank you thank you soooo much!! We would definitely use you guys again!!!!!!!”
About: I’ve had a dog almost all my life, very comfortable with big or small dogs and whatever their walking/ feeding/ playing needs are. Can adjust accordingly. I am available for walks either early in the morning, after 5 pm, and anytime on the weekends! I am working full time but given enough heads up I can adjust my schedule around work. I live in an apartment which is very spacious. There is grass downstairs but I would typically walk a long the building and into the neighborhood nearby.
“Allie is great with Asher and took his special needs seriously. Asher made the transition to her as a new daycare very well telling me he is happy. I look forward to working regularly with Allie.”
About: My first two rescues were Rottweilers my third and only child is the child that my mom blessed me with. She is a needy, loving girl but high energy so I’ve dealt with everything from couch potato to high Strong lovely I work from home and my height energy baby is used to go out multiple times a day and she is great with any dog she needs. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I am very active walking them in the neighborhood and we will always make time to go out. We are sidekick and we go walking together, dog parks together, but also she has not ever met a dog that she doesn’t love. Even those in the neighborhood that don’t get along with others love her. I do not have kids, but my nieces who are 5 to 9 or around her often so she is great with them, but I also understand those that don’t want their dog around kids so I will not bring them around them if they are uncomfortable.

“Nicollette is a consummate professional! She is honest, reliable, and trustworthy! Also, Bear loves her to the moon and back😊 We have been working with Nicollette for a year now I believe and couldn’t be happier with how she interacts with Bear and handles the business aspect of our rapport.

I’m also happy to bring in mail/newspapers, water plants, or take care of any other little task that needs doing.
“Paul is the best dog walker I’ve ever had. He’s incredibly reliable: he answers messages promptly, is always on time for walks, and as a bonus, is a genuinely kind person. I have a 100lb. dog and Paul is able to walk him without issue, and can even wrangle him into his rain coat! I would trust Paul with caring for any animal. Before he leaves everyday, he fills up the water bowl and has never once forgotten. I truly cannot recommend Paul enough.”

About: I have owned and loved pets my whole life. Growing up I owned dogs, and took care of neighborhood dogs and cats. Now, I own two cats, and love visiting with and taking care of pets of friends and family. I am available most days and times, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Flexible scheduling, and happy to work with your pets routine care and needs! I know how deeply people care for their pets, as a pet owner myself. Each pet has their own personality and attention needs. Whether it be an excitable dog, or a cat that needs a little extra space to feel comfortable, I think it is important to make sure the level they need is appropriately met!

He was patient with my initially skeptical dog and Obi has come to trust him and enjoys their walks! I recommend Nathan's services if you are looking for a dog walker or other support with your dog.”

“10 x10 Stars for Megan’s love and care for my Lord Henry. The videos and photos gave me so much comfort. Megan not just walked him twice daily, she made sure that my high energy labradoodle got plenty of dog park and social time. When he wasn’t up to being social she gave him on on one play time. She administered his eye meds with no problem. I guest being a nurse brings a special mindset. I will always trust Megan with my precious Lord Henry. I’ve used many dog sitters and boarding services. Megan is the best. Thank you Megan for giving Lord Henry the best time ever.”
