“Lisa is the best! Our little guy stayed with Lisa for 10 days -- she spoiled him with lots of walks and belly rubs. Lisa keeps you updated throughout the visit which allows you to rest easy that your fur baby is happy and healthy.”
“Gail is awesome! I had a last minute work trip and had to find a sitter basically the day before and she was so incredibly accommodating to watch my dog. She sent me updates multiple times a day including pictures and video. Will definitely be using Gail again :)”
“Our pup came back happy and exhausted! She had a great weekend stay at Leanna’s and we were so thankful for her updates throughout. Will definitely be returning as a customer in the future!”
“Ksenia and her husband Hugo are very kind people. Ksenia asked a lot of questions at the meet and great so that made us feel comfortable that she was thinking about our dog’s needs. Our guy has some separation issues and wasn’t up to being separate at night so Hugo slept in the living room with him. Which was way beyond what was expected. Butcher came home tired but in good spirits.”
“Emily was wonderful with our senior pup Regen! Excellent communication and frequent pics. Bo (the resident pup) was also a gracious host. Regen seemed very comfortable there. We’ve already booked another stay, and have another (longer) one coming up!”
“Sujan went above and beyond to take excellent care of my Paco boy! I love that he believes in a fresh diet. Paco seemed very content when I picked him up, and Sujan kept me informed daily on his care. I will always book with Sujan in the future.”
“We are so grateful to Shiva for taking such wonderful care of our Frenchie, Arya! 🐾 From the moment we met Shiva, we felt completely comfortable leaving Arya in her care. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and thorough, making sure every detail of Arya’s care and routine was taken care of. Shiva was thoughtful about everything—from feeding and walks to making sure Arya was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She kept us updated while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind, and it was clear that Arya was in wonderful hands. We came home to a very happy pup, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We highly recommend Shiva to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, thorough, and genuinely caring. We will absolutely be asking her to look after Arya again! ❤️”
“Staci was great! Jeter has separation anxiety and she was able to make him feel comfortable and loved. She was so patient. She sent daily pics and updates. She responded to my messages very quickly. I highly recommend her and hope to use her again.”
“Karen clearly enjoys giving an attentive and supportive care to her furry charges. I know that Runi had a wonderful time during the two weeks I was traveling. I saw lots of pictures every day of him playing with other dogs, walking contentedly on outings, taking his meals and even sometimes sleeping. Indeed, I think Runi misses Karen and I know he will greet her cheerfully on his next stay”
“Leslie is the ultimate dog host. Theo was loved from the moment he entered her home. Leslie gave Theo so much attention and took the time to get to know his habits and needs. The daily photos and videos and summary of activities allowed me to have a window into his time while I was away. I never had a moments worry. Theo received so much love - Leslie is the absolute best and Theo will be back!”
“Veronica took very good care of our dog while we were away on a holiday. Our dog was very happy with her and had company to play with! I would definitely return to Veronica for our pet-sitting needs.”
About: I've been taken care of more than 50 dog breeds with great care and love. I have taken care of dogs all over my neighborhood for 5 years now and they all enjoy how flexible my time is and that I take great care of their dogs by feeding, walking, and washing their pets. I'm currently working a part-time at the airport, I am available to take care of your dog on Tuesday and Fridays. I am usually home most of the time drawing and excercising. So some time spent getting a walk or entertaining your pet can easilly fit in my schedule. I have a clean and spacious home. There is plenty space for your pet to walk around and explore my fenced backyard and open frontyard. Im very gentle and very capable of carrying large dogs. I used to own a small breed but he has passed due to time, so I currently dont own any pets at the moment. Im very active and caring with pets. I enjoy to have them roam free or hang out by my desk. I can run around with them too if they so desire.

“Lily had a wonderful trail walk every day! Ivan and his family gave her love and great care while my family was in vacation! Thank you so much Ivan and Lily will happily come to your house again!”
“Renata was absolutely wonderful and made my first time using rover wonderful. She’s so sweet and communicative while I was away with pictures and updates. Brinx had a wonderful time”
“Musa and his family was amazing to our 1 year old cat Dooly. My fiance and I were abroad for a little over two weeks but we felt completely at ease with Dooly’s care, thanks to Musa. The pictures that we received made it quite evident that Dooly was making himself VERY comfortable. He is a bit of a sensitive boy but he was snuggling up to Musa and his family in just a matter of days. My fiance and I were jealous 🤣 Thanks for everything Musa! We had an insanely busy trip and knowing that Dooly was in great hands allowed for us to focus on family reunions and wedding prep. We appreciate you and your family immensely!!”
“Carla and family is amazing. I boarded biscuit in the last minute and they treated biscuit as their own dog. Biscuit had an amazing time there and Carla sent me a lot of pictures and updates on biscuit. I will highly recommend Carla !!”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Cody while I was away. We are lucky to have such a wonderful sitter, and I’m so grateful for your help. Thanks again for everything!”

“Kristen was amazing housesitting my cats over Thanksgiving. She gave me great updates and was even able to coax my timid cat out of hiding. I would absolutely use her services again.”
“Another great experience with Jake! Not only did he take great care of our cat Arthur while we were away, he also helped us out by bringing in one of our packages that had delivered after we had already left. He also was willing to watch Arthur again under short notice, we are extremely grateful! We will be looking forward to working with him again :)”
“Keara was awesome! She kept me updated everyday with lots of photos and detailed log. I was so happy I left my two fur babies with Keara and if I go out of town again I’ll definitely ask her again 🥰✨🙏🏻”
“Paige was great. She sent good feedback about how our little one was doing while we were gone. She spent time with her and sent some great photos. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Heather is awesome! She takes good care of my 3 kitties while I'm gone and sends pictures that I love. Cheeto, Diesel and California don't like strangers so the fact that she is able to get 2 out of the 3 to interact with her is awesome. Even if it's just coming out long enough for her to get pics. This is the second time I've used her and not disappointed”
“Allison was wonderful with my kitty, Boots! She took great care of him, made sure he got his meds, and even had him purring. Will definitely be planning to work with her again in the future!”

“Jessica was a great drop-in sitter. We'd definitely book her again. Every visit was accompanied with an informative and fun message about the cats, the visit, the various tasks done, and the state of the house. Jessica sent pictures of the cats with every visit, and between the note and the pictures, it helped a lot being separated from our pets! Everything looked great when we got back, and our cats are happy and healthy. Thanks, Jessica!”
“Ed is awesome! We needed someone to look in on our cat Troubles a couple times a week while we were out of town for an extended period of time. Ed exceeded our expectations. He kept us posted with plenty of pictures and updates, and made sure Troubles and his domain were comfortable, clean, and happy. We are so grateful to Ed for the peace of mind he provided us while we were away. We highly recommend his services!”
“Maeghan does a great job taking care of my cat! She’s punctual, reliable and truly takes an interest in the well being of your pet. I’ve had Maeghan take of my cat 4 times. This past winter, somehow she made it to my house during a severe snow storm to feed my cat! That’s commitment.”
“Asal was so amazing while we were away! She took such great care of our cats and went above and beyond our expectations. She sent us lots of photos and videos while we were gone and gave us frequent updates on how they were doing. I definitely recommend booking with her, she’s an incredible pet sitter! We will definitely book her again when we go on our next vacation. Thanks again Asal :)”
“Asher was absolutely amazing and so incredibly patient with my cat who can experience extreme separation anxiety. Every care step was followed and multiple pictures per visit were provided, leaving me fully at ease that my precious baby was being taken care of in the same way that I would have. Absolutely would love and fully plan to book again in the future!!”
“Christine did a great job taking care of my cat! She provided updates and pictures even though my cat stayed hidden (he's a bit of a shy guy). Would definitely use her to keep an eye on things again!”

“Highly recommend Kiran. We were able to do a meet and greet prior to make sure our dogs felt comfortable and got along. We were sent pictures and videos throughout the day which made us so happy to see how at home our pup had made herself, and how welcomed she was into their home. I’m so happy to have had Penny cared by Kiran and will definitely reach out to him again in the future.”

“Jon and Johanna are great care providers. I felt totally confident with their help with my dog Enzo. They clearly love dogs, especially dachshunds and are very structured in keeping my dog engaged and active and involved with training and fun activities. I will definitely keep them in mind for future bookings. I really appreciate the help they gave me this week.”
“Dip had a great time with Marcel. We will definitely be a repeat customer. Plenty of yard space, great location, attentive care and walks added up to a good day for Dip at Marcel’s.”
“Vivian was wonderful with our dog! She sent updates and pics throughout the day. She followed our instructions. She also accommodated her with some steps to get onto the couch and made a nice perch for her to look out the window. Thanks again Vivian!”
About: I have two small dogs 5 and 3 years old. One is not neutered. I work from home so im home most of the day with my two dogs. I have watched and cared for dogs from puppies to older dogs. I work from home (town home with fenced backyard). My neighborhood has lots of dogs and kids so we are always going for walks and getting to know our neighbors. I have lots of dog toys and my kids and i will play with our dogs as well as neighbor dogs all the time. They always have enough water and food and lots of treats. Some say my dogs are spoiled 😎. I will often give my dogs boiled chicken and sweet potato as healthy treats.
About: We’re a dependable mother–daughter pet-sitting team with 30 years of combined experience caring for, training, fostering, and loving animals of all shapes and sizes. 🐾 Over the years, we’ve cared for dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, birds, fish, and many other pets. Our own family has included Whippets, Labs, Shepherds, Mastiffs, Basset Hounds, and Chihuahua mixes, and as sitters and fosters we’ve cared for many more breeds—including Bulldogs, Retrievers, Huskies, Poodles, Mountain Dogs, Great Danes, and plenty of wonderful mixed breeds. 🐕 🐕🦺 🦮 🐩 One of us is working toward dog-training certification, and we both have puppy-training experience. 🦮🚶♀️ We gently reinforce good habits, routines, and leash manners through patience, consistency, TLC, and positive handling. Most importantly, we understand that every pet has its own personality, pace, and needs. As home owners ourselves who have lived in three different neighborhoods in the DMV, we specialize in providing attentive, respectful, and reliable care while keeping your pets comfortable in the surroundings they know best--your home! When your pet stays with us, they become part of the family. Our home is set up with safety and comfort in mind, with a secure fenced yard, indoor gates, and separate spaces when pets need a little room of their own. Our designated pet areas—including our family room—are cleaned at least once daily and stocked with plenty of blankets, toys, and chew toys. 🪢 🥎 🧺 (See photos attached to our profile). Our cats stay comfortably upstairs, giving them their own space away from visiting dogs. Most important, someone is always home with your pets. They get lots of companionship, attention, affection, and access to our outdoor space whenever they want it. What we offer with our services: 🏡 Fenced yard 👩👧 Mother–daughter care team with 30 years combined experience 🏠 Someone is always home 🐶 No more than 2 dogs/families boarded at one time 🎓 Dog-training experience/certification in progress 🐕 Experience with everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes ❤️ Dogs treated as part of the family Mom is the primary sitter, with her daughter—an apprentice vet and lifelong animal lover—often helping out. We’d love to provide reliable care for your pets at home or welcome them into our home! ❤️ We are currently working flexible hours and one of us is out of school for the summer, so we have plenty of time and flexibility to play with your pups! When we welcome you pets into our home, someone is always home with them. We are experienced dog walkers comfortable caring for pets in urban, suburban, park, and country settings. Whether your dog enjoys neighborhood walks, park outings, or a calmer pace, we adjust to each pet’s personality, energy level, and routine. For pet sitting in our home, we have a gated kitchen/family room area where pets can stay safely with us, as well as a fenced patio where they can get fresh air and companionship. We have the ability to separate your pets from other pets if that helps them feel secure. We can also crate your pet if that is part of their normal routine or helps them feel secure.

“Anna did great with Indy. She met him before his walk which made both of us comfortable. Each day Anna walked him I came home to a relaxed and happy golden retriever. Definitely recommend her and will request her again.”
“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”
About: I currently work at a dog rescue. I volunteered as a dog washer at the humane society for a year. I pet sat relatives dogs in their home. I know how to respect dogs boundaries. Right now my schedule is somewhat flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends. I am unavailable on Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 4pm to 730pm. I am respectful of everyone’s home and treat it how I’d want a pet sitter to treat my own. I know the signs to take it slow with dogs and cats.
About: Calendar is currently up to date through June 2026! Growing up we had outdoor cats, until a tiny 5lb chihuahua came around and stole our hearts. We had her for 15 resilient years. I went on to foster a handful of dogs through my college years at a local rescue.I then helped my roommate from 2018 to 2020, Rover pets until we went our separate ways and I adopted the sweetest 10 year old pup, Rocky. We had 2 wonderful years together until my boyfriend and I had to unexpectedly put her down in September 2022. Love found it’s way back into our hearts a few months later; when we met our new pup Ozzy. He has brought so much joy and energy into our home. I am WFH M-T-Th-F and available most weekends! I have a few meetings a week, but the rest of my work is project based. This makes it so I can stop in for a quick walk, or just to hang for a bit relatively easily. I can also work from your home and spend some time with your pet if they require more one on one time. When doing in-house stays, drop-ins, and walks I will always be respectful of your space and your home. I am very flexible and will follow any instructions you asks for while I’m taking care of your pup.
“Maeghan has been so great to work with, and Tiger took to her right away! I appreciate her responsiveness and flexibility, especially with the strange weather recently.”
“Maya has been great with my coonhound Stella. She & Maya seemed to bond instantly as Maya has a way with dogs. I'm looking forward to booking her more for the summer, she really cares about your dog. She's an excellent walker!”
“Jennifer has been walking our dog Leo on a regular Tuesday/Thursday schedule (mornings and afternoons), and she’s been fantastic. She’s extremely dependable and always communicates well in advance if there’s ever a schedule change. I feel completely comfortable having her care for Leo. What really stands out is how attentive she is — when Leo got sick, Jennifer noticed right away and alerted me immediately so I could get him to the vet. That kind of attentiveness and care goes well beyond just walking the dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable dog walker!”
“I had plans fall through with late notice and needed a few days of dog walks for my 7mo puppy who is going through his second fear phase. Plus, there wasn’t time to meet Kendall ahead of time, or even be there when she met him for the first time. She did an AWESOME job easing in with my pup and getting his trust so quickly, and the second day he was already excited waiting for her return. Feeling so relieved and grateful for her, and this first experience with Rover in general.”

About: I’ve been taken care of pets since the first one came into my household, cats mostly but I have experience with dogs and birds too! I currently work remote so I’m free most of the day everyday, which allows me to have more than enough time for all my furry friends! In a clients home I like to treat the pets as if I’m the owner myself, with respect, love and kindness as much as possible
