“Tien went above and beyond by picking up a prescription from Teddy’s vet and making sure he received the medicine he needed while I was away. I’m so grateful that Teddy was in good hands during an unexpected moment of need!”
“I so appreciate Jordan and his family for taking care of Gatsby! This is Gatsby’s second stay with Jordan and like before, I got many pictures and Jordan was very communicative. Gatsby came back tired and happy. Thank you again so much!”
“Nova had an absolutely amazing time stay with Melanie and her family! We had updates throughout the entire weekend and she came home so tired and happy. If you are looking for your new go to sitter, look no further!”
“Mariela was great! She’s everything you want in a sitter - interested in your dog’s personality, flexible, and good at sending regular updates and pictures. Right from the introductory meeting, she was observing Nelly and asking me questions about her habits and quirks, and I felt perfectly at ease leaving her in Mariela’s care. Would 100% books again!”
“Holly was amazing with my pup Porter! Easy communication and drop off/pick up, and she sent daily photos of him. Even with multiple dogs, she put me at ease and was such a pro with everything. Thank you Holly!!”
“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!”
“Outstanding host! She took excellent care of our English bulldog and provided funny notes and photos throughout his stay. We will absolutely book with Jen again! 5 stars!”
“Supon watched our dog Finley for a few days while we were out of town and boy did she have a blast. From sunning herself on the roof to visiting nearby embassies to tons of hanging out with other dog friends—my husband and I started to wonder whether Finley was having a better vacation than we were! Supon took amazingly good care of Finley, and it was such a relief to know she was in good hands (and a joy to get the photos updating us about her weekend). We can’t recommend Supon enough.”
“Geoffrey was amazing with Phinney!! He kept me updated with photos and I didn't worry about him at all :) I also got him back tired and happy, I know he had the best time. Whenever I go away, I know I found our new #1 option!”
“Virginia and her family including the lovely Sofia pet host are amazing. We have used her for years and frankly don’t want to write this review for fear that Virginia gets too busy!”
“Corina was amazing and was able to accept the booking on short notice due to a cancelation. She was very detailed upon first meeting, and asked a lot of questions, writing everything down. Hope is an elderly dog, and she is experienced with dogs of an age. She sent regular updates, photos and videos daily and asked questions when needed. Very smooth and would definitely board with Corina again.”
“As a two-time client of Jessie and Erick for week-long boarding, I couldn’t be happier with how well they cared for my dog. With easy access to outside space and another friendly pup to play with, I almost feel like my dog would rather stay another week when I pick him up. Highly recommended.”
“Veronica and Max got along so well, he wouldn’t leave her side! He even went after once I picked him up. It’s always a great feeling knowing your pup is happy when you leave him with new people. And Veronica was just that for him, which is why he was able to warm up to her so quickly. Thank you! Definitely recommend.”
“Me and Palta are extremely lucky to have found such an amazing sitter as Tori. Not only she has taken great care of Palta several times already, but also she is extremely reliable. I am even hesitant to write this review because this might become Tori more popular :D but she deserves it as she is the best sitter i have met on Rover. Thanks Tori!”
“Laurie and Richard took excellent care of my senior pup, who was very relaxed throughout her stay. I would definitely use their services again.”
“So happy to have found Alyce! Brody was so well taken care of and Alyce was incredibly responsive and sent lots of pictures. So appreciative to her and her family!”

One of my cats is generally grumpy towards strangers and Rachel was very patient with him. I highly recommend her services!”

“We LOVE Claudia and so do our cats!! She is so reliable and has checked in with us if a cat is acting funny or off. We feel really comfortable leaving our cats when she is sitting (and that is coming from a very anxious cat mom).”
“Kelly is very trustworthy, flexible, and so lovely to work with. Our flight back home got canceled the day of, and Kelly reassured us that she would stay as long as we needed her to. We received cute photos and updates every day. And we came back to a spotless home with two happy kitties. She exceeded any expectations we had, and is now our #1 go to cat sitter from now on… thanks so much, Kelly!”
“Spencer and Julia were excellent pet sitters for my cat Luna. They took great care of her, and were super communicative with me. I recommend them to all!”
“Hannah took such excellent care of my kitties! She took a lot of extra care and time to win over my shy kitty, and had no issues giving my high-maintenance kitty the attention and medication he needs. Thank you so much!”
“Richard was amazing!! I had him house sitting my cat Mina, who can be picky and a bit sassy but he was patient and very sweet! I got lots of updates and my place was exactly as I left it. Will definitely be choosing Richard for future stays!”
“Kat did an amazing job taking care of my cat! She was easy to communicate with and provided very thorough updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care and would highly recommend her.”
“Veronica took great care of Millie while I was out of town for an entire week! She was very communicative and always sent photos of Millie! Would definitely rebook!!”
“Shane is so kind and looked after my kitties so well that I never had any worries for them. He's almost always a few minutes early starting his visits and from the pictures, my two little gremlins were happy to see him and enjoyed his visits. I will definitely be using Shane for my sitting needs as long as he's available”
“Shannon was incredibly communicative and kind. We were navigating a very skittish cat and she was incredibly compassionate and understanding. I would recommend her to any family.”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Raising a dachshund, a large Pitbull mix, and caring for friends' pets, from playful puppies to senior dogs, have given me extensive canine experience. I am caring, attentive, and flexible, tailor my approach to meet your dog's unique needs and personality. Working from home as well as my own need for daily walks, gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for pets through out the week. I prioritize reliability, trustworthiness, and safety when caring for pets. I can follow specific instructions, ensure a secure environment, and provide attentive, care to meet their needs.
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.
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“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!”
“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.”
“My 12lb mini poodle turns into a sled dog, pulling me to Supon's front door, every time we're on the street. We're all so grateful for Supon's caring environment and fantastic communication.”
“We met Linda, Leo and Fred and instantly felt at ease! She was so warm, kind and genuine. Leo and Fred were both welcoming and friendly towards Pinot. They played so well and Pinot was well taken care of. Thank you!!!”
“Holly was fantastic!! She took the best care of my boy Jax. Her communication was great and I could tell Jax had the best time with her! I would highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs since I was very young, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a pug, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently a nursing student on break, and most of my classes during the semester are online. This means I’m home full-time on all non-clinical days and have plenty of time to give your pets my full attention. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. Safety is always my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a sweet pug, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and personalities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always make sure dogs are supervised, fed on schedule, and kept in a safe environment. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, follow any routines you prefer, and give your pup plenty of love and attention while you’re away.
“So happy to have found Nina & Chris for my dog. They were very communicative and gave many updates during the day. We did a daycare text-run ahead of a work trip I have scheduled in a few weeks, to see if my dog fit into their household. Glad things went well!”
“Diana was great with Pisco! He had such a fun time and she took such good care of him. She’s very responsive, communicative, and makes sure to share fun memories as well. Even when Pisco wasn’t feeling the best she made sure he was comfortable and kept me informed. Would definitely recommend her and return for more bookings!”
About: I am a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I love spending time with animals and would be happy to look after your dog when needed. I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds since 2015. I am a teacher and am typically available to host your pets on Fridays after 4:00 PM and anytime on weekends. However, since I am currently on summer break, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide care throughout the day and accommodate your pet's needs while you are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. My goal is to provide a positive and stress free experience for both you and your pet. You can trust that I will treat your dog as if they were my own, ensuring their needs are met and they feel loved and cared for at all times.
“Had a great experience with Fengyuan providing daycare for Marigold! Got lots of photo updates during the day and she made a new friend out of Chicago 🤗”
“My dog had a wonderful day in Tricia’s care! Tricia sent multiple photos and updates throughout the day. I look forward to having her watch my dog again.”
“Kind, accommodating and extremely gentle. My dog misses her instantly and she will always be the person to care for him. She sends pictures and videos and truly is remarkable. Highly recommended”
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.

“Noah has been great with our dog Toph, who can be a handful. He’s very responsive and follows our detailed instructions well. We are thankful to have his help.”
“We are so happy with Albedardo. He is such a kind, conscientious and intelligent young man. We’ve always worried when trusting someone new to look after our furry children, but with Albedardo it was immediately clear that he is organised, professional and thorough. He made sure to learn as much as possible about our pups before walking them which really put us at ease to know that he genuinely cares about our pups’ wellbeing as well as delivering a quality service. I highly recommend contacting Albedardo if you want someone who is organised and transparent, who loves to do his best, and who earns your trust.”

“Alissa is wonderful! She is patient, kind, attentive, and a great caregiver to our old man dog. From the start, she treated him with such gentleness and respect. We always felt at ease knowing he was in her care. Our Frankie can be a little slow and stubborn these days, but Alissa showed incredible patience and made sure he was safe and happy on their walks. It’s clear she truly loves animals and takes her role seriously. We are so grateful to have found her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate walker!”
“Gabriela did a great job walking my two pups. The pups seemed really happy and excited on the walks from the photos provided. She communicated everything well and gave good updates.”
About: Hi! I’m Veronica. I split my time between Los Angeles and the Washington, DC area, and whenever I’m in town, I love spending time with animals. I’m a proud pet mom of both dogs and a cat, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🦴 ABOUT ME I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I am comfortable with: • Walks and exercise • Feeding schedules • Basic medications • Puppies and senior pets • Multi-pet households • Plenty of playtime, affection, and companionship I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. 🏡 STAYS & VISITS I work primarily from home and am rarely away for more than a few hours at a time. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. For boarding stays, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease in a new environment. 📸 UPDATES I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away from your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates, photos, and messages throughout each stay or visit. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I love sharing their adventures, naps, playtime, and cute moments with you. ❤️ WHY I PET SIT As someone who travels frequently between DC and LA, I miss my own pets when I’m away from them. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with wonderful animals while helping fellow pet owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. 🐾 MY PROMISE My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I care for my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! ❤️ I run my own business, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to provide reliable pet care. When I have clients for my business, I’m normally not gone for more than four hours a day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week and can often accommodate last-minute requests. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and routine instructions while providing plenty of attention, affection, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“I recommend Brenna! She was highly responsive and responsible. My dog is sweet, but can be an obstinate walker. She was patient with him and is very kind.”
“Ann is an exceptional dog walker. I have an elderly dog and Ann was very attuned to how she was feeling, how much she wanted to walk, and just followed her lead. Ann is a great communicator, sending me numerous pictures and written updates after each walk (three times a day). She is organized, friendly, is great with dogs, and makes sure everyone is on the same page. She coordinated with my cousin where my dog was staying. Rosie was very happy and relaxed when I went to pick her up.”
“Lexi was great with my 7 year old frenchie! She was patient with him when he overheated on a summer walk, and was sure to take great care of him and some of his particular and special needs. She was highly communicative and thorough. Would definitely recommend Lexi!”
“Guiselle took great care of Lola! She was prompt and very responsive and sent lots of photos. She also took Lola on different routes every walk which I’m sure made Lola very happy to have some new scenery to check out! We would use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Holly is FANTASTIC! She always keeps you informed, and Kylo was so happy with the wonderful walks she gave him. She was always on time and I truly recommend her 100%!”
About: I have almost 30 years of experience taking care of pets, from mostly dogs, to gerbils, to fish, to rabbits, and even cats. It all started by taking care of my aunt and uncle's dog and cat while they were away. I also helped my cousins with their rabbits when we were younger. Over the years, my family had many goldfish (won from fairs or carnivals), two gerbils, and a black lab who lived almost 14 years. In college, one of my roommates got a rabbit that we all worked together to take care of as well. Now, I mainly help family and friends with their pets while they're away, but I would love to branch out. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them in the backyard (or inside a house if it's allowed). I'm looking to try this out as a side gig and possibly turn it into more, so I am dedicated to find time that meets your schedule. Since I live in an apartment, I am unable to take care of any pets (not already listed on my lease) in my home. However, I am willing to come to your house and will make sure to lock any doors used and make sure everything is cleaned up as much as possible before leaving.
“Jennifer was amazing with our dog Chase! He loved Jennifer from the moment she initially came over for a meet & greet. She also took the most adorable pictures of him I have ever seen! It was great to be able to see pictures of their walks and stuff. Will definitely be using Jennifer again in the future!”

“Amy was very good with our dog. She gave it toys and let her sleep with her in bed. Amy was good too at sending photos and updates. Our dog enjoyed her stay so much she was reluctant to leave Amy.”
