“Melanie, Greg, and their family were very kind, patient, and communicative about Phoebe during her first overnight stay away from home. We would definitely book them again!”
“Jessie and Erik were the best dog sitters and totally put us at ease that Harper was in great hands while we were away. They sent lots of great pictures showing how much fun Harper was having playing with their dog, Charlie, and going for walks etc, which we really appreciated. Their fenced-in backyard for play was a huge value add for our dog who loves to run around. Would highly recommend them to others and plan to use them again! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Harper!”
“My pups had the best time and probably didn’t want to come home. Austin was great with communication and they felt perfectly at home with him. I made a mistake in food and he made sure they had enough and even gave them a brush so they’d be fresh for pickup. If he’s available and you need someone, I 100% recommend. Thanks a bunch!”
“Fnu and Eric took great care of our dogs. Daily photos, good communication. The dogs clearly had a great time with their own dogs - they were constantly playing. Our dogs were happy and healthy after their 11 day stay at “camp” and we look forward to using them again!”
“Aisha was so amazing in taking care of our high energy doggo for a whole week while we were away for our wedding!! I received updates and photos every day. I was nervous at first because this was our first time using Rover or going away without our doggo, but Aisha made me feel confident and comfortable in her abilities to take care of our boy the very first hour she had him! He had a blast playing at the dog park, got to go on long walks, and made a new doggo friend with her dog. I HIGHLY recommend Aisha to anyone and will definitely be booking her again in the future (if she'll have our silly pup again!) If I could give her 10 stars, I would! She was amazing!”
“Tater had a great little staycation with Michelle while we were out of town. We got so many photos of him just having an absolute blast. Their dog Murphy welcomed Tater to toys and cuddles. We were able to enjoy our trip without having to worry about if Tater was okay or enjoying himself. Thank you so much!”
“Kathleen did an incredible job with my border collie! She understood his needs and sensitivities and made sure he felt at home. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“We are so lucky we found Virginia! She was flexible and so sweet with our dog, Patches. He became best buds with her dog Sofia, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Looking forward to the next time we go away so Patches can hang out with his new friends again!”
“Brian has become a trusted and dependable for this single, working dog mom of 2! He is a great communicator and has been incredibly patient and flexible with me when there are travel delays outside of my control. My boys get so excited when we pull up to his house and always return home tired (in a good way!) and happy.”
“Once again, Lauren was really fantastic with my neurotic little pup. As he has gotten older, he has become more quirky. She adapts wonderfully to every situation. She sends regular updates as well. I would trust her with any dog. Thank you Lauren!”
“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.”
“Super responsive, super friendly, sent tons of pictures and videos during the stay. Even went above and beyond to handle some of our dog's particular issues/factors.”
“Michelle gets all stars from me for being a terrific dogsitter. I got photos and numerous updates everyday and she handled my feisty 1-year-old little terrier, Ruby, like a pro. tons of exercise, love, and a window to the street for some people and dog watching met all of Ruby's needs. I totally trust and appreciate the outstanding care and attention she provides.”
“Daniel took great care of my 4 ish years old medium sized friendly energetic dog for five days … while he was in the middle of what will unfortunately be a long injury recovery from a broken leg. Daniel even took my dog to the emergency vet for me once over concerns about his splint. He was communicative both before and after the issue, so I always knew what was going on. He maintained a positive attitude and was loving towards my dog who seemed pretty happy at his place! Their dog Frito is a nice buddy to have around. I got some cute photos of them chilling together or napping nearby each other.”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“Madelyn & Chris was great with my golden! Communication was easy, and I got regular updates. My pup seemed happy and well cared for. Would definitely book again.”

“Becky was great with our cats! She was very responsive, left detailed reports and took great photos so we could see the cats while we were away. She even managed to get good photos of both of our cats-even though one loves to hide. Thanks again!”
“I highly recommend Kristy. She is responsive, communicative, reliable, friendly, and great with our cat. We had to travel unexpectedly, and it gave us peace of mind during a stressful time knowing our cat was living her best life with Kristy. We will continue to request her as a petsitter on Rover.”

“Yulia did a great job taking care of Milo while I was away! She left detailed reports every check in, was timely in her responses & check in times, and even helped clean up a spilled rice mess in the kitchen after Milo chewed through the bag. Would recommend her and book again!”
“We were so excited to find Erin last minute to watch our kitty after our regular sitter wasn't available. She was responsive, made time for an advance phone chat, and sent lots of notes and photos, which we love! Will definitely reach back out to her if we are out of town again!”
“Erin was very reliable and even though our cat is not the most social with new people we knew he was well getting taken care of. Thank you so much.”
“Alex was a wonderful sitter for our two cats. She came to meet us and our cats before our trip and asked lots of smart questions about the cats and their care and behavior, provided us with tons of updates about them each time she visited, made sure they both got play time with each visit, and was incredibly thorough. We felt very comfortable with her watching our cats while we were away. We will absolutely be checking Alex's availability first whenever we go away in the future.”
“Razia was wonderful! She took great care of my cat Pepper, who can be a finicky eater and sometimes shy. But it was clear from the photos Razia shared during her visits that Pepper warmed right up to her!”
“As always a great experience working with Carolina. Our cat loves her and we know he is good hands! Incredibly professional and makes sure things are all taken care of.”
“Susan was absolutely great! She is a very sweet and kind woman. She was easy to talk to and very accommodating! She took multiple pictures every night she came to care for my cat and let me know how he was doing. My sweet boy was very well taken care of and as well as my home. I will definitely go to her first when I need another sitter.”

About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and it’s so clear how much she cares for them. She made my own dog feel right at home! I really appreciated all her communication and her flexibility on my pick up time. Will 100% book again. Thank you Jennifer!”
“My pup had a great time at Russ's house! She came back super tired from playing with the other dogs. Russ sent me several updates throughout the day, which I really loved. Drop off and pick up was super easy- I will be using Russ again!”
“I cannot recommend Scarlett enough. My pup has the BEST time with her and Lassie. His tail is always wagging when he comes see her for his regular daycare. Scarlett’s communication is excellent and I really love all the pictures and video updates she sends throughout the day. She makes sure your pup has a great balance of walks, enrichment, and rest throughout the day. I can see how she really takes the care to love your pup like her own. I couldn’t be happier, thank you Scarlett!!”
“Sputnik had a great time with Shane. When we left him at Shane’s place he was exited to arrive and when we picked him up he was happy and tired. Really good experience !”
“Jessica took amazing care of Luna. She was communicative during her stay, sending me photos and letting me know how she was doing. This was very reassuring when using a new pet sitter. Luna also took a liking to her and we look forward to booking again with her.”
“Watson enjoyed his day with Alainie and her two pups. She is a very responsive and flexible host that accommodated a few last minute changes for our recent booking. We're looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Ursula accommodated us last minute when we have to leave Teddy for a few hours. Her and her husband was caring dog parents. They reassured us that Teddy will be in good hands. They also sent us photos of Teddy frequently which my kids loved. Thanks you and keep up the good work! Will definitely book with them again in the future.”
“Anastasia had The. Best. Day. Ever. at Cynthia’s for doggy day care. Every time she leaves the house for a walk now, she bolts to my husband’s car. It’s new, and she’s only ridden in it once and it was to Cynthia’s, so I’m pretty sure she thinks if she goes in this car, she’ll go see her new doggy friends. We had great communication throughout the day, too. Just a delight to see our pup happy in this new, social environment.”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs of all different kinds from a young age! I have a strong love and appreciation for all dogs and their unconditional love. I was an elementary school teacher for 8 years so patience, organization and an intense sense of care are my strongest skills. I am currently in the process of finding a new remote job and am home during the week and most weekends! I love to walk and having a buddy to come with me would make my day. My hours and days are pretty flexible ♥️ I live in an apartment with plenty of outside space around the building to take any pups outside to play with. I don’t have any pets at home so your pet will have my full undivided attention 🤍
“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!”
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.
“Supon is the best sitter my dog has had the to stay with! Supon LOVES his doggie clients and my Shih Tzu loves to stay with him. I trust Supon completely, sends great pictures and treats his guests like his own dogs. You couldn't find a better sitter.”
“Corina was great! Really responsive and great to work with. She took great care of our dog Nina. Sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. She took Nina out on several walks during the day and even worked on training her new tricks. My dog just loved her and I can tell she was well taken care of.”
“Ryan was very nice, communicated well sent pictures and responded to text ASAP. He was also very accommodating when I was running late. Will definitely use him in the future.”

About: With us you get not only one but TWO dedicated pet sitters! My partner and I have been around dogs and pets since we were kids, and we've had my chihuahua mix for 4 years now. I volunteer at shelters and rescues, have dog sat for friends and family for years, and have fostered dogs of all ages. We love dogs of all sizes and personalities and we'd be honored to take care of your best friend! Please note we offer pick up and drop off for an additional fee. TO ANY RETURNING CLIENTS: I have moved locally sooner than I expected. I now live in Del Ray, Alexandria. I am still happy to come pick up/drop off your pup! My partner and I are both personal trainers and work at most just 4-5 hours at a time, and can hang out and love on your pet the rest of the time! Even when one of us is out it is likely the other one is home with your pup, and even if we both have to step out your furry friend will always have my chihuahua mix for company. He loves to nap inside and then enjoy multiple walks a day around the neighborhood. We'll be able to play together all day everyday! My dog gets along with everyone and is a wonderful play companion. However, he can also take naps and mind his own business if your dog prefers! We live in an apartment with plenty of room to play, and I have an extra room where I can crate your dog if needed. If your dog loves the dog park we are happy to take them - Ricky is a regular!

“Adriana deserves 1000 stars!! I actually booked a dog walk for someone else - My friend is home with a newborn baby and two rowdy labs so I wanted to get her dogs out of the house for a little to help. Adriana messaged me back immediately and was happy to help! She was incredibly accommodating, professional and asked me all of the important questions so she was prepared when she arrived. She sent photos and handled the two labs wonderfully. The dogs loved her and she absolutely made the new mom's day. I would trust her with my dogs any day. Thank you so much Adriana for your kindness!”
“Great communication, always met our scheduled time, and even helped us all out when there was an accident inside. Looking forward to working with him again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs as long as I can remember. Every breed from labs to doodles to yorkies. I’ve trained puppies and cared for dogs after health emergencies. I’m excited to meet your fur baby! I’m a full time medical resident who’s interested in walking dogs in the evenings and sitting for dogs on weekends. Interested in incorporating your dogs schedule into my routine I attentively listen to the instructions of the guardian to ensure full understanding of their expectations. I actively observe the surroundings both outside and in the home to avoid issues before they arise. My goal is to have a safe, fun adventure with your companion before they excitedly return into your care
