“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”
“Christine was wonderful! She made sure Louie got time outside and sent us lots of photos! I will definitely be asking her to Louie sit again!”
“Laurie & Rich were great hosts for my dachshund mix Lily! The sent me regular check ins and pictures of my pup which I greatly appreciate. They communicated fantastically throughout the entire process, and accommodated all of my requests. I could not have asked for a better host! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Amazing sitters! Jodee and AJ are super easy and lovely, lovely yard for my dog to play in which he doesn’t have at home. Sent pictures everyday with updates. At the end of the stay my return flight was delayed and they were willing to watch my dog an extra night—super accommodating. Highly recommend and will use them again in a heartbeat!”
“There are not enough words to describe how perfect our boarding experience was with Alyce. During our initial meet and greet it was clear that Alyce and her family were knowledgeable, passionate, and caring which immediately made us comfortable leading up to a week long board. Throughout the stay Alyce provided us with daily updates to include eating and sleeping habits, many pictures and videos, and his overall his mood. Jax is looking forward to coming back soon to play with his new friends Mookie and Lucas. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“Kerstyn was so amazing to help us out last minute! Our dog, Wilson, enjoyed his stay and we could tell from the photos and videos shared that he was well cared for. We definitely will be reaching out to Kerstyn to watch our dog in the future!”
“Francise was wonderful with our girl, Winnie! She took wonderful care and provided great updates and photos. Winnie can be a little difficult on walks sometimes because she is a bit dog reactive and Francise did a great job managing her! We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!”
“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”
“Nani is a fantastic sitter. She is kind and treats your pup like her own. She is patient and flexible. My dog really enjoys his stays with her. I highly recommend her. I love the updates and photo’s too.”
“What can I say about Vincent? Well, if you want the best of the best, he is it. This was the first time I had to hire a sitter to watch my fur baby, Barkley. I had some concerns about leaving him with someone because I'm a little bit of the anxious type. Vincent made this experience for both Barkley and I very enjoyable. Vincent is a loving, caring and efficient dog sitter. He is very conscientious and made Barkley's stay comfortable and enjoyable. I know this because I have a complete play by play of my pup's stay via pix and video from the time that Barkley was in his care. I highly recommand him! And when I'm in the area, I will request his services again. Believe me, you will not be disappointed ?”
“Kelly was great and I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was quick to respond to my request, to set up a meet and greet, and easygoing re: drop off and pickup. I will gladly book her again the next time I have a need.”
“Kevin is FANTASTIC! Morty is super fun too! They're organized, thoughtful, friendly, outgoing, flexible and kind. Our dog came home with better manners than when we left! We look forward to using their services again soon!”
“This is the 2nd time we dropped Weezy with Kat & Brian and she had a great time. Kat and Brian are very easy going and have great intuition when it comes to dogs. They treat Weezy so well!”
“Faustine was an amazing dog sitter and was super sweet, flexible with great communication skills. We super appreciate Faustine and we would 100% use her again!!!”
“Aisha was very kind and patient with Monty. I loved all the pictures and updates i received during his stay. He got plenty of exercise and play time with Aisha and her son. She also responded promptly to messages which i appreciate. I highly recommend her services for your pet sitting needs. I will definitely be using her again.”
“BLUF: Book in confidence. Helena and Nathan were great. Their comms were very clear and timely, they definitely know what they are doing in terms of thinking forward about how to give your dog the best experience and to give you peace of mind while they are being boarded there. Both their home and their yard are well-tended - no hazards for dogs like wires, broken boards, etc. They were also flexible in terms of dropoff/pickup times, as well as accommodating reasonable requests for toys, treats, and food options. They also allowed a friend of mine and their dog (who recommended me to Helena and Nathan) to stop by for a short playdate. Great experience and will book again!”
“We keep coming back to April because she’s literally the best! She is very accommodating and communicative. She always takes great care of Onyx, and sends a bunch of photos/videos during her stay. Onyx had so much fun staying with April and Louie! I highly recommend booking with her!”

“Carrie was great! She was very responsive and followed all instructions we left for her. We have a senior cat who needed urgent medical care right before we left town. Carrie was very understanding of our constantly changing and last minute instructions. She was also very accommodating when we asked to cancel a few visits.”

“Our three cats were well taken care of and happy while we were out. They were in great spirits when we came back and Sarah was wonderful about communicating while we were gone. She’s wonderful.”

“Lisa did a great job taking care of my cat! He has some special food needs and she followed my instructions perfectly. He definitely enjoyed his time with her! I’d absolutely recommend Lisa to any other pet parents in need of a sitter!”
“Will absolutely be re-booking with Ajia. She took great care of my senior cat, making sure my cat and house made it through a bad heat wave. Really appreciated the daily updates and pictures.”
“Henry was great! One of our cats is super friendly and took to Henry immediately, enjoying lots of playtime with him. Our other kitty is much more shy, but Henry was patient with him, and he eventually warmed up to him as well. Both of our cats were well cared for, and we felt confident they were in good hands. We would definitely hire Henry again!”
“Jennifer was so great with our kitty and sent detailed updates with lots of photos! It was great knowing she was so happy and was in such good hands.”
“Paul was responsive and incredibly communicative. I needed to take a last-minute international trip. Within a few hours, we were able to schedule a time for Paul to take care of Clementine. I am definitely using his services again the next time I have to travel.”
“Emily was very communicative and did a great job keeping my place clean and caring for my foster cats, including giving them oral medication. Her pricing is also great value for this site!!”
“Spencer & Julia took great care of my cat and provided a ton of photos during their time with him! They offered plenty of pets, treats, and cuddles and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”
“Thank you for everything! You’ve been so great with Rosie and I appreciate your pictures, videos, and detailed summary of the visit. I would definitely have you back.”
“Sai stayed in our home and cat-sat our attention-addicted cat for 12 days. During this time, he gave our girl a lot of love, made sure she had all her needs met, and was responsive to any messages we sent him. Sai is trustworthy and professional. We would absolutely ask him to cat-sit for us again!”
“Where can I even begin with how amazing Aimee was?! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cat, Spot, for 9 days while I was away. I was nervous since he gets anxiety but when I came home he was so happy and had 0 accidents while I was gone. Aimee checked in with me every single day and sent plenty of pictures and updates. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands and I will absolutely be using Aimee again and recommend her to anyone needing an awesome sitter! Very trustworthy and overall such a kind human being, Spot and I are both happy!”
“Leo is such a sweetheart and a real animal lover! I could tell he really cared about my pets’ wellbeing and didn’t just see them as an item to check off on his list. He was on time or early, very communicative, and really helpful, especially since I booked pretty last minute. I would absolutely have him as a sitter again!”
“Jocelyn did an excellent job sitting for us over an extended two week period. She was always on time or early and was always responsive when I had questions.”

“Such a great sitter!!!! So grateful I found Merlyn and her sweet pup Nugget! My dog Bodhi loves hanging out with them while I’m at work! Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had furry family members all my life. Finally got my own and live having a pup to train, pamper and love on. Let me share that experience with you and your pup as well☺️ I work from home, which makes pup care easier. My pup goes on a 30-60min walk or fetch in the fenced s hook fields near me around 7.30-8, eats around 10.30am with a quick walk outside soon after. She naps and is free to play. Last walk and dinner is around 6.30-7.30. Jade sleeps in her crate beside my bed. I’m able to give as much attention to her as needed because my schedule is flexible. I am very tidy and keep hazards away from the pups. I use dog-safe cleaning products. I also have a nest doorbell camera to monitor those coming and going. Plants are out of reach. I have access to fenced parks and fields less than 1min walk where I take Jade regularly. I like to play Chakra Healing Frequencies
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
“We had a great experience leaving our dog Otto to spend a day with Amina. She communicated very well and gave Otto the attention he needed. Otto also had the opportunity to enjoy the time with Snowy (Amina’s lovely dog). Thank you very much for the great care. Looking forward to have Otto spending more time with you soon.”
About: I live in the city and work for myself, so my hours are flexible! I absolutely love training dogs and puppies, as well as taking care of each animal as if it was my own! I fostered a few puppies, including very aggressive ones, and then happened to adopt the last one I fostered- my pup, Rosie! Rosie doesn’t live with me on the days I have available for pet sitting. I’m very good with reactive and anxious dogs as those are mainly the ones I’ve fostered. Also, I’m confident in high stress scenarios, including reactivity, health issue scares, or sudden crisis situations. I work from home as a business owner, managing my own hours. It’s easy for me to do a last-minute bookings or plan in advance. I treat all animals as if they’re my own, meaning, I feed and walk them at their proper hours, consider their feelings, and respect the wishes of their owners!
About: I’ve loved dogs since as long as I can remember. As a kid, I was always the friend who would come over and play withy friend’s dogs as much as possible since we couldn’t have one due to allergies (my dad). I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs, as I got my own puppy in summer of 2022. My dog is super social/friendly with other dogs and loves to play all day long. I also frequently watch my friend’s dogs whenever they are out of town. You pup will be treated as if they are part of my family! I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, so your dog will be in good hands no matter what! Just let me know any specifics for care and I’ll be sure to take the best care of them! I primarily work from home during the week, so I’ll be around to watch your pup during the day and night! Weekends I am also available to watch the pups! I typically am flexible on whether I leave the dogs home alone and for how long, so just let me know what works for you! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and have one dog of my own who is very social around other dogs. There’s also quite a few parks/fields around me where I typically take my dog, so your pup can get plenty of exercise! We take our dog out 3-4 times a day, but can be flexible for your pets needs! We also have a crate if needed, but we do not crate our dog whenever we leave him at home. We do allow our dog on the furniture (even though he never snuggles us), but can be flexible for whatever you prefer. We also have a doggy camera to keep a close eye on the pups when we aren’t there.
About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs all of my life. I work from home with a nice fenced backyard and I live across the street from Bluemont park with lots of fields and trails for exploring. I have a 10 year old golden Cavalier (Clover) and we go on long walks in the park and around the neighborhood. Your dog will be allowed on the furniture and the bed if you like or in their crate when needed if that is your preference. I’m home all day and give lots of attention to the dogs I care for. I will only care for one dog at a time along with my dog. I am self employed and work from home so your dog will get lots of attention. Your dog will rarely be left alone and if so not for a long time. I take daily walks (2 times a day) so that is already part of my routine. I have a fenced yard and a doggie door if your dog likes to use that. I also have a 10 year old golden Cavalier to keep your dog company.
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats Daisy and Lucy. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.
“Leah is amazing! It’s clear how much she loves dogs, and she takes such great care of them. That was so evident from how much fun Pisco had during his day with her. She was also incredibly responsive and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her with Pisco again!”
“My dog had a great time at daycare! Fengyuan provided regular updates throughout the day and I felt comfortable leaving Flynn in his care. Pick up and drop off was quick. Flynn came home happy and most importantly tired after a fun day. Would definitely book again!”
“Katerine and Brian did a great job watching Mia, and she enjoyed her time with them. She got to interact with other small dogs they were watching and was spoiled with a lot of snuggle time. Katerine also took some Christmas-card-worthy photos of Mia. Would happily leave Mia with Katerine and Brian again.”
“Jodee and AJ are the best and take care of Winnie like she is part of their family. Pretty sure Winnie thinks their house is hers too. Can not recommend them enough!”

“If my pug Mimi could leave a review herself for Haoran (Selina), it would probably go something like this: “I had such a lovely walk! Since I’m older now, I really appreciate someone patient, gentle, and happy to go at my pace. She took wonderful care of me and sent my mama adorable photos. I came home with extra treats and lots of tail wags. Her calm, sweet demeanor made me feel comfortable. My mama says she’s thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cares about every dog she meets. Can’t wait for my next adventure with her!””
“What a pleasure Liliana is! She was so patient with both me & my newly adopted pup. She really took the time to understand both of our needs! So happy I found a great dog walker in the area!”
“I was impressed with Daniel right from the start! He is a very humble, respectful, responsible, kind young man who loves animals. My dog Sophie immediately took to him and she would have great walks with him. I asked a lot from Daniel when I went on holiday…and he delivered! He came to my home for 10 days to not only walk my dog but also feed her…give her medicine, and as a bonus, he played with her. Socializing w Sophie went a long way because she was alone most of the time. He would always be on time and, when another dog walker canceled, he quickly covered that shift. No questions or higher charge. He sent a lot of photos too. Since I’ve been back from my holiday, I’ve been in poor health. I texted Daniel and he is now my dog walker on days when I’m unable to take Sophie out myself. Again, punctual & always thinking about what’s best for my dog…. For example, He remembers to dry Sophie’s paws when they arrive from a walk in the snow or rain. I highly recommend Daniel as your dog walker or sitter.”
“Dominique was great with my two dogs. They loved him immediately. Dominique was very flexible when I had to add in a couple of additional walks due to work commitments. I would highly recommend him.”
About: I have pet sit for friends and neighbors for years, with dogs of all different shapes, sizes, and needs. I've walked dogs, checked in, or spent the night. I'm an avid animal lover and love meeting and spending time with new dogs! I'm a college student home for the summer with lots of flexibility in my schedule. Even though I'm a college student early mornings are fine with me, I'm happy to be with your dog any time of the day. I'm adaptable to whatever rules and established routines you have in your home. I don't mind getting up early and I'm an avid walker so I'm happy to get outside any time.
“We’ve been working with Jennifer for over a month now, and she has been absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly communicative and so flexible with my unpredictable schedule—I can book her a few days in advance, and she always accommodates. Since we just moved from Kansas, my dogs have had a tough time adjusting, especially one who has anxiety, but Jennifer handles them with such care and kindness. Both my girls are so comfortable with her—she’s truly a gem! I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Lianna has been great so far with Tucker! First and foremost, she really impressed me with our meet and greet. Asking such thoughtful questions, she showed how dedicated she was to providing the absolute best care to Tucker! With every walk since, Lianna has been diligent about updating me and even going as far as working on some training with Tuck. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind care provider for their fur babies!”
“Harry is extremely reliable and is great with my older dog. He keeps me updated on their walks and sends me pictures of their walks. Will definitely request him as Molly's walker again!”

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.

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.

“There are not enough words to describe how perfect our boarding experience was with Alyce. During our initial meet and greet it was clear that Alyce and her family were knowledgeable, passionate, and caring which immediately made us comfortable leading up to a week long board. Throughout the stay Alyce provided us with daily updates to include eating and sleeping habits, many pictures and videos, and his overall his mood. Jax is looking forward to coming back soon to play with his new friends Mookie and Lucas. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“Kerstyn was so amazing to help us out last minute! Our dog, Wilson, enjoyed his stay and we could tell from the photos and videos shared that he was well cared for. We definitely will be reaching out to Kerstyn to watch our dog in the future!”
“Francise was wonderful with our girl, Winnie! She took wonderful care and provided great updates and photos. Winnie can be a little difficult on walks sometimes because she is a bit dog reactive and Francise did a great job managing her! We can’t say enough nice things and we highly recommend Francise and look forward to having Winnie stay with Francise again!”
“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”
“Kelly was great and I felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was quick to respond to my request, to set up a meet and greet, and easygoing re: drop off and pickup. I will gladly book her again the next time I have a need.”
“Faustine was an amazing dog sitter and was super sweet, flexible with great communication skills. We super appreciate Faustine and we would 100% use her again!!!”
“Aisha was very kind and patient with Monty. I loved all the pictures and updates i received during his stay. He got plenty of exercise and play time with Aisha and her son. She also responded promptly to messages which i appreciate. I highly recommend her services for your pet sitting needs. I will definitely be using her again.”
“BLUF: Book in confidence. Helena and Nathan were great. Their comms were very clear and timely, they definitely know what they are doing in terms of thinking forward about how to give your dog the best experience and to give you peace of mind while they are being boarded there. Both their home and their yard are well-tended - no hazards for dogs like wires, broken boards, etc. They were also flexible in terms of dropoff/pickup times, as well as accommodating reasonable requests for toys, treats, and food options. They also allowed a friend of mine and their dog (who recommended me to Helena and Nathan) to stop by for a short playdate. Great experience and will book again!”
“We keep coming back to April because she’s literally the best! She is very accommodating and communicative. She always takes great care of Onyx, and sends a bunch of photos/videos during her stay. Onyx had so much fun staying with April and Louie! I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Reese absolutely loves Erin! He’s so excited to see her for dog walks and sitting. Erin understands his Reese-isms and takes the best care of him. I get lots of updates and photos, which I love!”
“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Would 100% recommend Christina she made my baby boy feel comfortable and safe. He had such a great time I could tell from all the pictures and especially when I picked him up. He’s only 7 months old, still potty training, a picky eater and this was my first time leaving him with anyone else so I was EXTREMELY worried but Christina took such great care of him, ensured he was comfy at night time and could sleep well and he didn’t miss a meal which is amazing as sometimes he refuses to eat. Thank you so much Christina!”
“Mary went above and and beyond for my Vishaad. She sent updates of their activities and pictures as well. I felt very comfortable with her looking over my pup and would love to have her sit Vishaad again. Mary ensure Vishaad had ample attention and activities throughout the day. Thank you”
“Karol was a wonderful Rover dog boarder for my boxer Addie. I would rebook with Karol again in the future. She sent photos multiple times a day, plus a video of Addie running outside. Karol is a wonderful communicator and I know Addie had a fun time staying with her. She came home happy and tired.”
“I’ve booked with Asia several times and she’s great! Very communicative and kind, and my dog Layla is so excited to see her when her car pulls up. I feel very at-ease leaving her with Asia!”
“LOVE Emma. Easy drop off and pick up. Got frequent photo and text updates. I loved that she worked on some mental stimulation and training as well. Will definitely use again!”
