“Gail watched my baby (Clover) and I couldn’t be anymore excited to post this review! She took care of Clover like she was her own, she sent me 5-7 photos a day and updated me on how she was doing! 10/10 recommend Gail. I will be using her again to watch my baby the next time I go out of town!”

“Christine took good care of our dog for week. We were nervous because this was his first time staying with other dogs longer than a day. He came home happy and exhausted after a week of play. We received photos and videos throughout the week and he was packed up, ready to go at pickup- we appreciated that after a long day of travel.”


About: I love working with dogs! I grew up with a variety of breeds and I am very patient and caring with all animals. My family had both large German shepherds and small miniature poodles, so I feel extremely comfortable with any size dog. I currently have a small rescue poodle mix, who I spoil just a little too much. I have also fostered and sat for various breeds and I really enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and temperament. Every dog deserves to be treated as a member of the family, which is exactly how I treat any pet in my care. I look forward to meeting and caring for your precious and beloved family member and he or she will immediately feel like part of my own family!
“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!”
“Roxanna and her family are so sweet and lovely. They took excellent care of our pup. So thankful for her attention to detail, photos, updates and treating Chelsea like one of the family. I felt completely at ease leaving her with Roxanna.”

“Alexis and Andrew were great with taking care of our dog and very responsive. They sent pics daily and let know how he was doing with eating and his activities. I felt very comfortable with Hokie’s stay.”

“We are so thankful that Crystal and her family watched our puppy! She was very easy to communicate with and sent very cute pictures throughout our dog’s stay. Our puppy seemed so at ease when we picked her up. I have nothing but good things to say!”

“Musa has been great with our kitty, Cheeto. Musa has looked after our kitty multiple times now. It takes a little time for our kitty to get used to a new environment, but Musa and his wife are very patient. Going to Musa's is like a mini vacation for Cheeto, now.”

“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Stevie! Her communication was top-notch; she provided regular updates and adorable pictures that kept me informed and reassured throughout Stevie’s stay. Jennifer’s professionalism shone through when Stevie got into a bit of mischief. She handled the situation with experience and calm, ensuring Stevie was safe and happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Jennifer for her exceptional care and dedication!”


“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with Bailey. I am so thankful that I found her and that she was available during the holidays. She always responded quickly and was very communicative. And Bailey seemed to have a wonderful time with her and her family. Many thanks!”

“Ellie was a superb Rover mom to my Cavapoo. He was treated like royalty. She provided me with updates on my pup every day. She showered him with great food, treats and toys. Bo was the happiest dog on the planet. I am so thrilled to have her take care of my precious dog.”

“This is my first time writing a review, literally ever, but I need to brag about Tien. Tien is my go-to sitter for my dog Wilfred. He’s a very nervous dachshund, but when I drop him off he is extremely excited to see her. He always comes home happy and healthy (and maybe a little sad, missing her). She sends me very cute and funny, sometimes epic, pics of him daily while I am gone. She works with my chaotic schedule which is sometimes last minute and sometimes long trips. I strongly recommend her without hesitation and so does Wilfie!”


“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!”

“Ollie has the best time with Donna and always comes back so happily tired! And we love all the adorable updates she sends. Ollie is excited to head back to Donna’s next week for more fun!!”

“Thanks to Susan B. and her family, my husband and I were able to fully enjoy a vacation over the holidays without worrying about our pups. Will definitely reach out to her if we are traveling again!”

“We were thankful to have Laurie and Richard for our dog sitters. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We had plenty of pictures and updates and it was a good experience!”

“Carmen and her daughter went above and beyond taking care of my Myles. She sent me multiple updates with pictures a day. She lives close to a great park so Myles got some amazing walks. Myles was very loved and taken care of while he was with them! Carmen will be my go to sitter in the future. ❤️”

“José was very careful to make sure he learned what Hazel liked and needed. He and his family provided a very calm and loving home for my anxious dog. The stay worked out well.”

“Kevin was an excellent dog sitter for our golden retriever! He sent several pictures daily and was very accommodating with our pick up time/drop off. Will definitely use Kevin&family again!”

“Our Stella had another great stay with Nadine! We loved receiving daily picture and video updates. We could tell our pup was in good hands and comfortable and happy while we were away.”

“Sarah took great care of my cat, Rufio, while I was away for the weekend. She was very responsive, gave accurate and thorough updates, and followed all of my instructions. I’d definitely recommend her!”

“We highly recommend Mya and will make her our first choice the next time we need a pet sitter. This was our first experience using Rover, and we were nervous about how our kittens would react to a stranger. However, when Mya came over for the initial introduction, our cats took to her immediately, even our more timid one. We were impressed by her professionalism, communication skills, attention to detail, and responsiveness. We truly appreciated the photos and updates from each of her visits. Thank you for taking care of our cats like your own; we hope to work with you again soon!”


“This was my first time using Taylor and I’m pleased to say she did a great job caring for my two senior cats. Taylor was responsible and communicative, sending text updates after each visit along with photos. Taylor made sure to find both cats at each visit, as I asked. She cleaned the litter boxes and handled the feedings exactly as asked. I appreciated her friendliness and reliability! I would definitely use her again.”


“Jen was wonderful. She came to meet and greet my two cats and ensured she understood the process of getting in and out and their daily routines. She clearly has an affinity for them as even my more anxious cat became comfortable with her after just a couple visits.”

“Lindsay watched my cat Harper three times over the last two months for a total of 13 days. She followed all of our instructions and sent the best pictures of our girl. Lindsay did an incredible job dropping in the check on the cat every day. We've never used a pet sitter before, and Lindsay went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again!”


“She was exactly who we needed to care for our finicky sweet cat. Abby communicated with us every time she visited with photos and videos of our kitty. She updated us on our kitty’s patterns and eating habits and learned when she wanted attention and when she needed a little space (so important for cats!). She was flexible with needing to find supplies in the house like trash bags when we didn’t leave enough out. Our cat clearly loved having her there and warmed up to her quickly. Bubs is usually visibly stressed after we are gone even with care but this time she was happy and relaxed when we got back. Abby was really the perfect cat sitter for us!!”


“I was very nervous to leave for a long period of time as both my cats are very shy but also seek affection. My worries on day 1 was put to rest as both my cats could sense Tara was safe and willing to meet them as their comfort level. I am very impressed as she got my historically very shy and timid cat to anyone but me to become her lap cat. Her daily reports and adorable photos was very appreciated!”


“Ayana did such a great job watching my cat - she was super responsive and shared pictures while I was away. I’ve already booked a longer stay with her and would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a cat caretaker!”


“Colleen did an amazing job checking in on my kitten! She went above and beyond to spend extra time playing with her and sent great pictures. She even went the extra mile to coordinate picking up and dropping off keys. Would highly recommend!”


“Lei is a wonderful pet carer! My cat Myrrh is usually shy with new people, but she gravitated to Lei immediately because Lei is so sensitive and attentive. Lei engages Myrrh with petting, scratching, and playing—just right for whatever Myrrh is in the mood for. Lei sends a detailed and thoughtful report of each visit right away, with lots of photos and videos. It's so reassuring to see Myrrh enjoying herself with Lei when I'm away. Lei is rock-solid reliable with visits as well as with communication. Myrrh has a daily medication, and with visits from Lei, I know Myrrh will always get her medication accurately and on time. I highly recommend Lei and will definitely rebook her to care for Myrrh!”


“My 16 year old cat recently developed a few health issues, requiring special diet, meds and supplements. Alison took care of him for three days. I came home today, my cat looks happy, content, and most of all, quite healthy. Alison really is the best to have taken care of my cat for the past two years. I will continue her service as long as she is available in the future.”

“Amanda was great with our cat. She was very attentive to our care instructions and got along well with the cat who is usually very shy. She sent us numerous pictures each visit to show how the cat was doing. She was clearly happy, healthy, and relaxed in Amanda’s care. I would definitely request her again the next time we need a cat sitter.”


“Sierra is great! This is my second time having her take care of my cat and she does a great job, stays in contact throughout her visit, and will make sure your pet is well taken care of”


“Ni was amazing with my cat Stevie! She sends sooo many photos throughout the visit timeframe and treated him so nicely! She also is very organized with making a list of exactly what you need to be done for your pet while you’re away. Will definitely hire Ni again!”

“Guiselle did an amazing job with our three cats! She made sure they were fed on time, played with them, and sent us the most adorable pictures. We’d be happy to have her watch them again!”

“Jane did a great job with taking care of my cat! She was friendly and communicative. She took lots of photos for me and I knew my cat was in good hands. I would definitely rehire her again and would highly recommend!”

“Katerine took Mia on short notice, and Mia had a great time hanging out with the other dogs. Katerine is always a great communicator and provides timely updates.”

“Prisila was truly awesome. She was communicative and very attentive to our dogs. One is 14+ years old and the other is 5+ months old. We were up in the area for our son’s graduation from The Basic School at Quantico. Prisila took excellent care of our dogs, shared their activities and pictures with us, all while juggling their different needs and schedules. We were able to fully enjoy our son’s graduation because we knew the dogs were happy with Prisila and they were being well-cared for. We would absolutely take our dogs back to Prisila. Thank you, Prisila. ⭐️”

“We asked Susan to watch our pup for a few days and were so thrilled with her service! Ruby loved playing with The Boyz, and couldn't wait to see them again each morning. Ruby is a shy dog with people she doesn't know, but she bonded with Susan very quickly, and even fell asleep in Susan's arms, which we were amazed by! Susan has a beautiful yard for the dogs to run around and play, and was fantastic at keeping in touch; sending us videos and photos throughout the day. We will definitely ask Susan to dogsit for us again in the near future!”

“Devora has been a fantastic sitter for us while we work a few days each week in the office. She sends lots of updates and is clearly very knowledgeable about dogs. She also truly seems to be such a dog lover and we’ve felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. We will certainly be using her again!”

“Peace could not have had more fun with Michelle and Cinnamon running around in their very spacious back yard. It was a rainy day, but Peace didn't want to come inside. Michelle did a great job communicating to me and made sure Peace was dry when I picked her up. I seriously haven't seen Peace so excited about a daycare visit.”

“Andrew is a first class dog professional. Flexible, reliable, and has a true knack with dogs. He helped us out on short notice and we could not be happier. You will be extremely happy that you chose Andrew. 5 stars—easy.”

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.

“Ann and Rick made my dog Winnie feel right at home and took great care of her during our recent very long day first visit. I received reports and photos during the day, which I very much appreciated. Even though we had done a successful meet and great beforehand and Winnie trotted into their house with only a brief look back, they felt she was a bit nervous and adjusted her day accordingly. I look forward to future bookings.”


“When faced with a sudden family emergency, I reached out to Helena & Nathan trying to find a place for my boy, Jackson, for the day. H&N responded within minutes and we were able to work out day care for the day. I can't tell you how grateful I felt knowing that Jackson would be well cared for while I attended to my own family's needs. H&N kept me posted with plenty of photos throughout the day - and those photos really lifted my spirits when we ended up having to put a beloved family cat to sleep. I really can't thank them enough for the support and care they provided...to both me and Jackson. Rest in Peace, Mr. Kitty. You were my father's best friend and brought love and laughter into all of our lives. We'll miss you.”


“Veronica always takes amazing care of our little Shih Tzu, Josie. She is very kind, and Josie gets so excited when it's time for her to go play with her furry friends! Thank you, Veronica!”
“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’ve taken care of dogs and cats since before I can remember! My family has three dogs at home (all lab mixes) and they are the best. I have experience with puppy energy to older dogs. I work full-time remote at the moment so I’m flexible for care times. I also have time on afternoons and weekends as well for pet care. I have experience with crating pets, feeding, and administering special medication. I’ve dealt with dogs with anxiety in the past as well as over friendly dogs.

“Jack was fantastic!! He took great care of our 8-month-old puppy. He took her on lots of walks, taught her a new trick, and sent us regular photo and text updates. I would use him again in a heartbeat. Our dog was happy and tired when she came home!”

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.
“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”

“Alison was quick to respond to us needing a sitter next week and was kind enough to meet us for a walk to meet our dogs. They immediately loved her, she was on time and great to meet! We would definitely trust her to stay or walk with our dogs in the future.”

“Sarah was amazing as a dog walker for my pups! She was very responsive, came exactly on time for the walk, and was clearly so sweet and loving with both of my dogs! One of my pups is quite shy and Sarah spent extra time with her to get her comfortable before the walk which was above and beyond amazing. Will absolutely book with her again in the future!”

“Love Anne!!! She is always so understanding and constantly helps us when we are in a bind. Amazing dog walker and is so understanding of changes in plans!”

“Come rain or shine, Amanda was always here with a smile for our big and little bubbas! There is no price for the peace of mind to know that our abode, Finnegan and Nibbs were in good hands while we were away! Would give more stars if I could! Hate to move away, hope to be as fortunate with whomever we find next.”

“Abigail is amazing with my dogs. She is patient with both my reactive Terrier who can pull on the leash and my senior frail Chihuahua. She is easy to communicate with and I feel like my pets could’t be in better hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Katherine is amazing - I feel like my puppy is in great hands with her! She is responsive, professional, caring, and sets the bar really high for other dog walkers!”

“Trent is absolutely wonderful. He made going away for a weekend without our two large dogs stress free. Trent gave us detailed messages about how each of their walks went, followed all of our guidelines and it was easy to tell our dogs trusted him and enjoyed his company. He handled our reactive 80lbs dog with grace and ease. We would recommend him to anybody! One of the most reliable and easy experiences we’ve had with someone else caring for our pups. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Dominique was amazing. I was in a little bit of a bind and he came through for me. Trusting that what I told him regarding my pups was the truth (that they are super friendly) and walked them without having met them. Followed all the instructions with out issue. I AM so glad to have found him here.”
