“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 :)”
“Phoenix is always happy when we arrive at Christine’s. And coordinating with Christine is always easy, particularly when flight delays occur.”
“I took my dog Scout to a meet and greet with Susan and her dogs before committing to a stay. Susan asked lots of questions and watched Scout as he explored her yard and house. I felt comfortable leaving him with her and her dogs because she seemed like a caring person and she paid attention to the details about Scout that were important to me. She sent pictures and updates to me while I was away. When I picked him up I could tell that he liked her and that he was happy! Scout had a great time at Susan’s house and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.”
“Musa and his family took such great care of my kitten, Grogu! It was obvious that Grogu was played with a lot and given great attention. Thank you, Musa! We would love to have you watch him again??”
“Tien was great! Communicative, sent a bunch of pictures, and willing to do a quick meet and greet with my senior pup. Dog came home happy and energetic, which was nice to see since she’s been slowing down in her old age. Also, all of pet supplies (bed, bowls, etc) were clean upon returned, which was so thoughtful. Thanks so much for taking such great care of Roxy!”
“Veronica is a wonderful pet sitter. All three of my somewhat anxious dogs (one a senior) ate well and seemed content and happy. Quick response to a check-in as I was traveling. Hope to book with her again soon!”
“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.”
“The dogs enjoyed their stay! Communication was great and I received updates daily. I felt comfortable with my dogs in their care. I would definitely leave my dogs with them again.”
“Laurie and Richard took excellent care of my senior pup, who was very relaxed throughout her stay. I would definitely use their services again.”
“Fantastic family to board with. Roger was kept very active and given lots of love. Terrific experience and will always try to book with Carrie and Matthew when available.”
“Great experience! We highly recommend Helena to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter. We left our 40-lb dog Calvin for a week with Helena without any issues. She took good care of him during our absence. Great photos as well. When our flight was delayed, Helena was totally flexible and understanding.”
“Jose took great care of our dog. He was incredibly responsive and sent daily photos which was very helpful since our little dog was staying with him for the first time. We will definitely call on Jose to sit for our dog again!”
“Just an awesome person to leave your fur-kid with! I received regular updates and pictures of Xena as well as good feed back for some concerns that I had. Aisha was able to make an accommodation for me based on my busy schedule and this is something that most would not have done and I appreciated it. The location is great because there is a huge grassy area right outside the door. In the end I even received a handwritten card thanking me for using her service! I highly recommend Aisha”
“We had a great experience working with Kathleen. Our flight got delayed coming home and she was very helpful and accommodating to our changing travel plans. We could tell Ruby was well taken care of when we picked her up. Thank you, Kathleen!”
“Jennifer was so kind and attentive to my pup! I could tell my dog instantly warmed up to her and her dog and felt super comfortable there. She was great with communication and sent many adorable photos.”
“Katerine was fantastic - she’s a naturally very kind person and took great care of our dog. She sent lots of pics and shared updates throughout our week long trip. At pick up, she gave a great rundown of the week and our dog seemed quite happy. She has a nice, fenced in backyard and a nice, grassy area for walks. All around, a great Rover experience.”
“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.”
“We are SO,SO happy we found Michelle (& family) to help us take care of Gus when we need to go out of town. She is definitely a dog mom and treated our little guy like her own. 5 Stars, for sure!!!”
“Jennifer was an amazing sitter for our two beagles! One is elderly and one is very anxious, but both settled in and had a great stay. We appreciated all of the updates and photos and the attention to details when taking care of our dogs!”

“Lindsay did great with our cat! She shared nice updates and photos every day and followed all the instructions we left. She also took excellent care of our plants.”
“Nicole is awesome! She was super responsive with any questions or feedback, and her reports are comprehensive. My cat doesn't get along well with everyone, but I could tell from the pictures that she clicked with Nicole. I would definitely book her 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!!”
“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”
“Jessica is a great sitter. My cat seems to love her so I feel very comfortable that my baby is well cared for while I’m gone. She sends really sweet updates about how cute and cuddly my cat is being, with pictures, which I LOVE!”
“Elizabeth took really great care of my cat over a long weekend. She was a great communicator and sent photos of my cat at every visit. This was my first time working with Elizabeth and I highly recommend her. Please consider hiring her - I think you’ll will be happy with her attention to detail and communication skills.”
“I've booked with Yan before, so I knew my cat would be in good hands. She took great check-in pictures and took good care of my cat while I was away, including playtime! Book with someone you feel comfortable leaving your best friend with - book with Yan!”
“Sarah is amazing! She took such wonderful care of my cat while I was away. My cat loves her and would greet her at the door whenever she arrives. She has also provided lots of play time for my cat to make sure he gets his exercise in addition to sharing detailed visit summaries on how my baby is doing, all of which I greatly appreciate ❤️ Would also like to thank Sarah specifically for being patient even when the concierge took longer than usual sometimes to get the keys!”
“Riley is a superstar pet sitter, and I recommend her wholeheartedly! She just cared for my two cats a second time, and this go round was for ten days. Riley provides The Best updates and pictures galore, which makes being away feel much less stressful- I can keep up with how they’re doing and see how they’re getting along. Riley takes time to really interact with the cats and get to know them, and she takes initiative to keep things clean, above and beyond the expected. Lastly, Riley is responsive to all my questions, suggestions and feedback, and just an impressive communicator all around. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Bianca was an incredible pet sitter! She made my two cats comfortable by visiting them while I was away this holiday break. She did everything I asked while sending great photos every day. I highly recommend Bianca for petting-sitting needs. She was on time, professional, and kind!”
“Ni was great with my cats for a week. She sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. She administered my cat’s daily inhaler and even cleaned up pee and hairballs! I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Amanda is wonderful! My kitties loved her! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. She kept my cats area so tidy and cared for too. Would definitely recommend her!”
“I booked a session with Shelby as a "meet and greet" to get to know my two cats, as I have been looking for a sitter. Shelby is terrific! She was punctual, personable and asked many good questions. Most importantly, both my cats took to her instantly, putting my mind at ease. I will definitely be using Shelby's services in the future.”
“Maria is the best! She takes the best care of my cat and makes sure I’m informed about how things are going. I’m so appreciative of the pictures and status updates. You can tell she really cares and treats your pets like her own.”
“Sarah was great! She even came to check on the kitties after a snow storm & took time to play with them and give them treats. Sent lots of videos and photos too. Thanks so much!”
“Colleen is everything you’d want in a pet sitter. She put my shy cats at ease and instead of them hiding (as they have with others), they were happily showing off their bellies to her. Colleen had great communication with me through the app and was very punctual. I definitely plan to use her again.”
“Amanda took excellent care of our fur buddy, Finn! She was super gentle and patient with our shy guy, and won him over in the end. Amanda was great to work with, and provided thoughtful, detailed and personalized updates for each visit. Will definitely love to have her look after Finn again, and would recommend her to any pet parent.”
“Hana was an exceptional cat sitter. She was responsive and genuinely cared for our cats giving us regular updates. I would absolutely book with her again and I recommend her to a friend”

“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 are grateful to Andrew for taking care of our dogs, Roscoe and Luna! He did an amazing job looking after them. They had a wonderful day filled with relaxation and fun, and it was clear that they felt comfortable and happy in his care. Andrew provided updates during the day showing our dogs enjoying their time away from home. We highly recommend Andrew as a dog sitter.”
“Susan was wonderful! Accommodated Manni last minute and he came home very tired from playing with her sweet pups :) she has an awesome backyard which is hard to come by! Would definitely book with Susan again! ”
“Devora is so kind and accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Trusting your most precious pet with a stranger can be difficult but she was assuring, communicative, kept me updated and I really felt my senior dog with many needs felt comfortable and safe in her care. Many other dog care options have many dogs of mixed sizes and activity levels in large areas where they can play and be very active. But a small, more fragile dog really needs a particular place where they can be safe and comfortable, so Devora’s home really was a perfect fit for this niche that put my mind at ease and allowed my dog to have a stable space he could relax without anxiety at the times we weren’t able to take him along with us. I would absolutely recommend Devora for any pet care services she offers.”
“Lina had a great time with Helena and Nathan. The backyard is huge, and she loved running with her new dog friends. Didn’t get to meet Nathan this time, but Helena was wonderful with Lina. We will definitely book again.”
“Another great session with Katerine & Brian. When I dropped off Mia, she was super excited and happy to see Katerine again. We also got some beautiful photos of Mia during the visit. Looking forward to continue to rely on Katerine for our doggy day care needs.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Loreen was really patient with Milo, who is a bit skittish around strangers. She took the time to get him acquainted with her house, yards and kids. She and the kids genuinely love Milo and she sent great pictures of his stay at her house. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Fritz always has the best time with ManYee and Hannah. It’s a good feeling to see him run to the elevator with her, not even looking back. And I always know he’s in the best care possible!”

“I was lucky to find Tasha, a new local dog walker in our town. She responds to messages quickly, is available for morning walks, friendly and, most importantly, punctual and reliable.”
“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!”
“Courtney was fantastic with Oakley! She took the time to play with him during the walks and ensured he was put up in the crate with water for the rest of the day. Oakley loved his time with Courtney!”
“Alice was a wonderful dog walker. Her attention to details on how giving care for your pup will be notch. She was also very responsive and good with communication leaving you worry free regarding the care of your dog. Alice was very punctual and very attentive. My do definitely enjoyed and appreciate her company during visits. I highly recommend her assistance and we personally will definitely re-book her again!”
“Elise has been walking my dog for several months now, and I couldn’t recommend her more. She is great with Remy and does such a phenomenal job at communicating! I always feel comfortable knowing she’s with him.”
“Nicole is absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I were very worried about trying to find care for our dog Whiskey. He has a lot of anxiety around new people and some medical issues as well. Nicole has gone above and beyond for Whiskey. Nicole spent over hour with him on their first walk, so that Whiskey could get accustomed to her at his own pace. Of course, now they are best friends and Whiskey always looks forward to his walk with Nicole. This past week Whiskey was very sick, and Nicole was able to utilize her years of veterinary experience to assess him and ensure that he was okay to make it until I got home from work. Nicole is incredibly kind, outgoing, and reliable. She is incredibly sweet, caring, and attentive to Whiskey and his needs. My fiancé, and I truly could not have found a better person to walk and care for our dog. Thank you so much, Nicole! 🤍”
“Just starting using Sophia and have been impressed with her feedback, punctuality and love of animals. My dog can be a bit stubborn regarding walks with new people but Sophia is winning her over ❤️.”
“Morgan was so great with Brownie! She was very attentive in the instructions and details I provided for the walk, and also sent cute photos! I would love to have her walk Brownie again.”
About: My first "real job" was being a dog walker, where I would walk a cocker spaniel named Gonzo after school for 3 years. Since then I have dog and cat sat for neighbors through the years, both for short weekend trips and for longer multi-week trips requiring me to house sit as well. I fostered my first kitten for a month while in college, and helped foster over 30 cats and kittens during the pandemic since I had a little extra time on my hands. Over the past two years I have been pet/house sitting most months. I have watched everything from one dog or one cat for 4 days, to two cats and a dog for 2.5 weeks. I've watched puppies and kittens from 4 weeks old and on, and dogs and cats as old as 14 years. The actual breeds have been all over the place, but in terms of dog size I've watched everything from small terriers and daschhounds to huge labs and german shepherds. In addition to owning and caring for a goldendoodle for 11 years, I've also done a lot of pet sitting for my parents 6 year old rescue hound/lab mix and 4 year old rescue short-haired cat. While watching your dog(s) or cat(s) I would rearrange my schedule as needed to prioritize giving most of my attention to your pet(s). I work remote and generally have a flexible schedule, so I could feed/walk/care for your pet(s) following whatever schedule they are used to. I don't work on the weekends and would be able to dedicate any needed time on weekends to caring for your pet(s)! I am happy to care for your pet in your home the same way you typically do so that they maintain the same routine. Whether that means letting your dog(s) out in a fenced backyard, taking them for neighborhood or trail walks, going to a dog park, or following standard crate rules. Similarly for cats, I am happy to maintain the same feeding schedule, whether it's wet or dry food, and clean the litter box regularly. And of course, give your pets all the scratches and attention they want!
“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.”
“Anne did a great job communicating her availability and being timely on our scheduled walks. She also followed our requests to walk certain routes and handled Biscuit's route preferences and hesitations during the walk well. I really appreciate her patience and professionalism to keeping us in the loop on GPS tracking and his status during the walk. Thanks Anne!”
“Guiselle was friendly, timely and super professional! She sent multiple pics of our dog while they were on their walk and it really reassured my husband and I while we were at work! Looking forward to booking her again.”

She took good care of him during our absence. Great photos as well. When our flight was delayed, Helena was totally flexible and understanding.”
“Just an awesome person to leave your fur-kid with! I received regular updates and pictures of Xena as well as good feed back for some concerns that I had. Aisha was able to make an accommodation for me based on my busy schedule and this is something that most would not have done and I appreciated it. The location is great because there is a huge grassy area right outside the door. In the end I even received a handwritten card thanking me for using her service! I highly recommend Aisha”

Banks can be a stubborn eater sometimes and she was very knowledgeable on how to get him to eat and made sure we knew how he was doing. We would 100% recommend her and will definitely ask her to watch Banks in the future.”
“This is Kobe’s 2nd time boarding with Kevin and his family! Wonderful hosts, Kobe almost didn’t want to leave and went back in the house to say goodbye :). Will definitely book with Kevin again!”
