“I usually leave my dog, Ginger, with a familiar sitter, but they were unavailable this time — and I am so glad we found Tatiana instead! She was truly a godsend. From day one, she was warm, responsive, and professional. I received daily updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind throughout Ginger’s stay. Ginger looked happy, relaxed, and well-loved when I picked her up, and it was clear she had a wonderful time. She even made new friends with Tatiana’s dog and cat — which says a lot, because Ginger is a bit picky with her buddies! Thank you so much, Tatiana, for taking such great care of Ginger. I will absolutely book with you again and recommend you to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter!”
“This was Duncans second visit with Ali, he stayed over two weeks this time. He came back to me happy, healthy and showed no signs of stress at all. The daily pictures sent to me indicated he was having a fabulous time, enjoying Ali’s family and all the love provided. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of. Once again I can highly recommend Ali, she is wonderful!”
“Andrew took great care of our dog Apollo. I was apprehensive about using Rover for the first time, but Andrew quickly eased my concerns with his responsive messages and meet & greet with our dog. Apollo looked very content and well cared for when we picked him up - we’d definitely book with Andrew again and would recommend him to my friends!”
“Teo had an excellent weekend and a great time playing with Maui. It is the second booking, and I’ll definitely book again. Teo was cheerful getting there, which tells it all.”
“Thanks to Lisa and her som! I can't thank you enough for the exceptional care you provided for KoKo! As a new Rover user, I was so relieved and grateful that you were able to accommodate our last-minute boarding request and your flexibility with the drop-off time was truly a lifesaver. It was such a comfort knowing KoKo was enjoying daily walks and had so much space to run and play. The photo updates were absolutely wonderful and really put my mind at ease. You both clearly went above and beyond, we truly appreciate it. We've found our go-to sitters for sure! We'll absolutely be in touch for all our future out-of-town trips.”
“Nalleli and her family took wonderful care of our 15 yr old dog, Kiki. She was loved, had lots of cuddles and snacks and was very happy at Nalleli. I appreciate the care that Nalleli provided and look forward to booking her again to look after our pup when we’re away.”
“Jill and her husband, Sean, were so caring and provided excellent care to our dog, Rigby, while we went on a family vacation. Rigby had a great time based on the pictures and messages that we received while we were away. Those messages put my mind at ease knowing that he was well taken care of. We will definitely use them again when we plan future trips.”
“I wish I could give 10 stars to Karen and her family! Our dog, Casey, is a rescue who is a bit anxious when he is away from us, but we didn’t need to worry. Karen kept us updated and we could sense how happy Casey was during his stay. I highly recommend Karen; I know she will be our first choice for a “home away from home” for our dog!!!”
“Elena is the greatest. My Scrappy had an extended stay with her and she took such good care of him. We got pictures and videos everyday and he was a happy dog. Highly recommend Elena.”
“Sujan did an amazing job caring for my 2 dogs, who are still young, while I was out of town. No problems whatsoever. Always would send photos and updates. I highly recommend!!”
“My dog Anna loves being there. Xinyi sends me so many updates and pictures so I’m very reassured that Anna is very well taken care of. 100% recommend! She is quick to respond as well.”
“John & Joana are wonderful with Oscar and also with us. They are very responsive, kind, and caring. They send pictures and videos regularly. They know so much about dogs, I feel comfortable leaving my furry baby in their care anytime. Thanks, Joana and John.”
“What can I say that hasn't been said before about Valerie. She was phenomenal with Rooney for his most recent stay. Always received multiple photos every day showing how he was getting along with the other guests. Whether it was simply on a walk or having a tug of war with another dog. Valerie is always our first choice if we are going out of town. She will treat your pet like her own and make sure you are always updated with what they are doing.”
“Vidhi did a wonderful job taking care of Buddy. Communication was smooth throughout his stay, and she sent daily pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I also loved that she also has a mini Goldendoodle, so Buddy had a buddy to keep him company! He looked very comfortable and happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Vidhi, and I have booked her again for next weekend.”
“This was our first time using Rover and I cannot imagine it being a better experience. Katie and Adam were simply amazing. After our meet and greet I knew Murphy (our 9 year old mini labradoodle) would be in good hands but wow, he was on vacation at a 5 star resort. They took such great care of him - took him on many walks, loved him and just all the way around treated him like part of their family. I actually think he might be a little depressed about being back home!”
“Carl is a kind, thoughtful person who clearly loves dogs. I felt at ease within moments of meeting him and felt assured that Duncan would be well taken care of. Carl is very responsive and sent us lots of pictures during Duncan’s stay. Duncan seemed to have a great time with Carl, Oliver, and family, so will definitely be requesting his help again.”
“Caesar thoroughly enjoyed his stay with Hommer & Hellen and I felt like I was leaving him with my own family. They are passionate about caring for pets and were extraordinary with keeping updated during Caesar's stay.”
“Perry was an amazing sitter for our pluto. Very sweet and thoughtful ☺️ She made sure pluto was comfortable in every possible way, plus pluto gained a friend in Perry and Caesar 💕 Communicating with her was very easy and she always kept us updated the whole time. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Yekaterina is awesome! Friendly, responsive, communicative and especially kind and caring to our elderly girl, Mamie. We really appreciate Kat and hope we can work with her regularly. The next time we might decide to a weekend trip instead of only a day away and we can rest assured that our girl will be well cared for! Kat is A+!”
“Brooke was amazing. She watched my cats and place perfectly. Did amazing updates and pictures. She went above any other rover person I’ve had before. Will for sure use again.”
“Elena did a wonderful job caring for our three cats. She was in communication daily, and even did extra tasks like bringing in the mail. I would book with her again without hesitation!”
About: I have experience caring for cats for family and friends. I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship while following each owner’s instructions. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Allie did such a great job taking care of our cat while we were away! She went above and beyond to make sure that our cat was well cared for and comfortable. She was very responsive when we had questions, as well. Our cat warmed up to her very quickly and was happy when we returned. We highly recommend Allie!”
“Abigail took great care of Cinders and Pepper whole their owners were away for the weekend. She followed all care instructions, gave them their medications, and spent a good deal of time with them so they didn't get lonely. We'll definitely think of Abigail again for next time!”
About: I live in my cat’s home (Because this is her house . . . She has claimed it as her territory, haha) for about 2 years now. She is playful and friendly and cuddly, but she wasn’t always. When I first adopted her, she was shy and would run away at the sight of a human, but I’ve nurtured her and coached her to come out of her shell by giving her kindness, consistency, play time, clean litter boxes, wet (& dry meals), and treats. She now even knows a trick or two! Every cat has a unique personality, but as long as you respect their boundaries and give them time, you’ll earn their trust ! Your cat will be in great hands with me!
“Wonderful sitter! She took excellent care of my cat and was reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout the stay. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in good hands, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I can’t recommend her enough! From the moment I dropped off my cats, I knew they were in great hands. She has such a genuine love for cats, and it really shows in the way she cares for them. She kept me updated throughout the day with lots of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She played with them, gave them treats, made sure they were comfortable, and truly cared for them as if they were her own. It was obvious my cats were happy, loved, and well cared for. She’s kind, attentive, and went above and beyond in every way. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pets, she’s the one!”
“Couldn’t be happier that I can trust someone like Cassidy to take care of my cats when I am away. She is extremely kind and takes great care of them. She communicates very well with me and is always so nice when we chat about the cats and how they are doing. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Heather was so great taking care of our kitty while we were away. You can tell she’s very experienced with the questions she asked and the way she interacted with him during the meet and greet. She even brought him a feather to play with so he could familiarize himself to her scent a few days before and it’s now his new favorite toy. Would recommend Heather for any family who wants to ensure their fur babies are loved and cared for like their own. Chessie’ says thank mew very much!!”
“First time using Rover, and Olga was amazing! Frequently kept me updated on Coopers status, including plenty of pics. Had the schedule this last minute and on Thanksgiving Day, and Olga was more than happy to help. Will definitely use her again in the future, and highly recommend.”
“Manasa is so sweet and thorough in caring for my babies! She asked questions before, during, and after to ensure all their needs (and mine) were met. She promptly notified me when they were not on their best behavior. The picture updated really provided me with a peace of mind and I’ve already booked her for my next pet care. Thank you again so much for everything!”
“Natalie was a great sitter for our cat! She was extremely thorough with her updates and we could tell that she spent quality time with our cat while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I took care of my black lab for 8 years, including feeding, giving medications, bathing and walking. I raised my cat from 6 weeks forward, cleaning litter boxes, feeding, giving attention to/playing with, and giving any medicines needed. I currently have a 4 and 5 year old cat. I also regularly volunteered at the cat Cafe in Murfreesboro, TN before I relocated to the area. There I was responsible for playing with the cats, feeding them and cleaning litter boxes. I have worked at an animal hospital where I have gained knowledge about medical situations and some medication giving. I am also a professional toy fixer! I am currently in between jobs so I do have mostly open availability until this changes or if I have to block some time off for an interview. I am willing to stay as long as needed to keep your furbabies happy and make sure they are fully taken care of. Being sure to leave your home exactly how it was when I arrived.

“Mocha is a regular client of LaurieBeth's since we adopted her a few months ago. Mocha is always so excited to spend the day with her and gets lots of affection and exercise. I am also super appreciative of LaurieBeth because Mocha is working on her obedience training and LaurieBeth didn't hesitate to help us reinforce the behaviors. So grateful!”
“Akshata is very sweet and caring. Kai is usually very shy, but he seemed to get comfortable with her and her place almost immediately. She even sent me photos of him settling in, which gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: 30+ Years of Experience: Puppies to Seniors I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over three decades, caring for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I understand how to read canine body language and cater to different life stages: Puppies: Patient with potty routines, basic manners, and high-energy play. Seniors: Gentle, attentive, and experienced with mobility support, low-impact routines, and administering oral or topical medications on a strict schedule. Work-From-Home Care & Supervision As a self-employed professional working full-time from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. Whether they need a mid-day bathroom break, a play session, or just someone present to keep them company while I work, I offer consistent supervision and a calm, reliable routine throughout the day. Pet-Friendly Home & Spacious Fenced Yard Our entire home is fully set up for dogs! We have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where pups can safely run, play, and explore. We also have one high-energy, super-friendly resident dog who loves meeting new friends and playing with our furry guests. If your dog prefers a buddy to burn off energy with, they’ll have a built-in playmate here. Active Walks & Nearby Trails I love staying active! Living right near several fantastic walking trails makes it easy to provide fresh air, structured exercise, and mental stimulation tailored to your dog's fitness level—whether that’s a lively stride on the trails or a relaxed sniff-walk around the neighborhood.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 3 years, and I truly love what I do! I’ve cared for playful puppies, laid-back adults, and sweet senior pets, making sure each one gets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I aim to make every pet feel relaxed and loved while their humans are gone. I am available most times Monday through Friday and can accommodate Saturday and/or Sunday and holidays with at least a weeks advance notice. I currently have a medium sized doodle and follow a routine of 2-3 walks per day, 1-2 potty and play breaks. I have a big yard with a long leash. Additionally I have a small portion of the yard that is fenced in for playtime. Dogs are allowed in my living room area.
About: I have over six years of experience providing dedicated care for dogs and one year with cats, specializing in everything from overnight house sitting to daily visits for walks, meals, and playtime. As a full-time pet care professional, I easily manage multi-pet households and design balanced routines tailored to each animal's needs. I have extensive experience supporting both high-energy puppies who need basic training reinforcement and senior pets requiring extra patience, gentle pacing, and medication administration. I am incredibly detail-oriented, remain completely calm under pressure, and prioritize consistent communication by sending regular text, photo, and video updates. At home, I have a friendly one-year-old Chihuahua mix who loves welcoming new dog companions. While I dedicate my own mornings, middays, and evenings to your animals, I am personally occupied on weekends between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM. During this brief window, my wife will step in to care for the pets, ensuring your animals are never left unattended and receive uninterrupted, reliable attention. I am genuinely passionate about animals—the kind of person who always stops to greet a dog on the sidewalk—and we will treat your pets with the absolute love, safety, and respect they deserve as members of the family. Pet care is the central focus of my daily schedule. Because I have a highly flexible routine, I am able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and structured play sessions throughout the day. My mornings start with fresh water, feeding, and an initial stretching walk, followed by regular check-ins and companionship every few hours and an evening walk. On weekends, I dedicate extra time to longer walks, outdoor play, ensuring every guest feels safe, engaged, and fully integrated into a stable daily flow. I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I closely follow any specific feeding schedules, house rules, and instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I provide constant companionship, keep a watchful eye during play, and give plenty of individual attention, affection, and belly rubs so they feel completely safe and loved while you are away.
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. 🐕 🐕🦺 🦮 🐩 We’re comfortable with puppies, large dogs, older dogs, and pets with individual routines or personalities. 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 regularly cleaned and stocked with plenty of blankets, toys, and chew toys. 🪢 🥎 🧺 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. Mom is the primary sitter, with her daughter—an apprentice vet and lifelong animal lover—often helping out. Together, we provide the kind of attentive, loving care we would want for our own pets. 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.
“My pup had a great day hanging out all day and is totally pooped. Shows how much fun he had at Staci’s! Highly recommend and her pup Cooper is also such a sweetheart. Can’t wait to send my pup over again!”
About: Our family of five discovered just how much joy a dog can bring when we welcomed our Coton de Tulear, Kova, into our home. Since then, caring for him has become something we all enjoy—from walks and playtime to simply spending time together. Kova is naturally a little anxious, so he’s taught us to be patient, observant, and respectful of every dog’s unique personality and comfort level. We’ve also experienced what it’s like to trust someone else with a beloved pet when we’ve traveled, and those positive experiences inspired us to become Rover sitters ourselves. My goal is to provide the same peace of mind to other families by treating every dog with kindness, patience, and genuine affection. For me, pet sitting isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about making sure each dog feels welcomed, comfortable, and loved until they’re back with their family. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because we already plan our days around Kova. Every day includes walks, outdoor time, play, meals, and plenty of companionship. Since either my wife or I work from home every day, someone is almost always home to provide attention, potty breaks, exercise, and care throughout the day. We’re also happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule, including meal times, medications, favorite activities, or any special instructions that help them feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our highest priorities. We have a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and live in a quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for walks. We take the time to make sure every dog settles in at their own pace and can provide separate space if they prefer a quieter environment. We’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding routines, medications, exercise, and any special needs. To help you feel connected while you’re away, we’ll send at least one daily update with photos so you can see how your dog is doing and enjoy your time away with confidence.
About: Pet sitting/walking is the best occupation, and I enjoy it on a daily basis. I am available to hang out and care for animals 24/7, which makes it perfect for pups or cats that need that extra attention. Rover is my full time job and I absolutely love what I do. I prefer to give dogs their needed exercise or leave them alone if they are feeling lazy. In either case they are always under supervision. Cats are also my specialty as I have been caring for cats my whole life. As a mature pet sitter, I believe it provides a certain level of trust for my clients, they rest assured their loved ones are taken care of by someone who understands. Cheers! :) I am available 24/7 to care for your furry children. I am available any time throughout days and evenings. We are very flexible with scheduling, don’t hesitate to ask for schedule modifications. We do not have fenced in yard but have trails and woods right nearby. W&OD trail is walking distance from my house. We walk daily for at least 3-5 miles, if the pup is excited to do so. We can crate or not. We allow the pups on furniture and treat them like family members.

I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care.

“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!”
“Corinne did a great job with the dogs and keeping me updated. Would highly recommend using her as she was very communicative about any issues with the dogs and how they were doing.”
“Haeun is a gem! 💎 She was responsive, flexible, prompt, thorough, and our pup Luna was a very happy camper when she got back from her walk. We would definitely book Haeun again for our pup!”

“Sarina is incredibly wonderful with our new pup. She is very reliable and takes great care. She takes good pictures to show what they did during the visit and leaves me notes about how she was. I have used her several times for walking and I will continue to do so for as long as she is available!”
“Elena was great! I messed up and didn't properly provide access to my building. Instead of giving up and going home, she found someone to let her in so I could walk my dog! Absolutely amazing for that and all other walks while I was on vacation.”

“Jillian is wonderful! She communicates with us clearly, arrives on time, and is super friendly. Our Ladybug is not the easiest dog to walk, but Jillian has been incredibly patient with her. Ladybug adores her and gets excited as soon as Jillian arrives. We are very happy with Jillian's service and would definitely book her again :)”
About: I use Reiki and massage when animals and their humans are accepting of it. My rates are built to service a wider geographical area. Please ask about lower rates for care needed close to my home, or other existing clients. I grew up with many cats (over many years), and a dog. We had several dogs in the neighborhood I would help and visit with, and have experience with horses and other animals of air, land and sea. I’ve been caring for dogs, cats and horses professionally for a little over three decades. I am self-employed and make my own schedule, so I’m busy, but flexible with enough notice or if there is a gap in my schedule. I have a big and friendly dog of my own who would want to stay with me if you require overnight dog or cat sitting, depending on how far you are from our home. My end-unit townhome backs up to the retention pond. I can see the walking trail that backs up to the forest from my deck. My small, fenced-in backyard opens up to a wheelchair accessible paver path. So ideal for older pets who need less/no stairs. I’ve cared for many elderly animals.

Rigby had a great time based on the pictures and messages that we received while we were away. Those messages put my mind at ease knowing that he was well taken care of. We will definitely use them again when we plan future trips.”

“What can I say that hasn't been said before about Valerie. She was phenomenal with Rooney for his most recent stay. Always received multiple photos every day showing how he was getting along with the other guests. Whether it was simply on a walk or having a tug of war with another dog. Valerie is always our first choice if we are going out of town. She will treat your pet like her own and make sure you are always updated with what they are doing.”
“Carl is a kind, thoughtful person who clearly loves dogs. I felt at ease within moments of meeting him and felt assured that Duncan would be well taken care of. Carl is very responsive and sent us lots of pictures during Duncan’s stay. Duncan seemed to have a great time with Carl, Oliver, and family, so will definitely be requesting his help again.”

“Deborah and her daughter did an excellent job taking care of my golden retriever, Winston. They sent lots of photos and videos and Winston was clearly having a blast playing with with their pup, Lotus. Deborah was kind enough to get Winston pup cups, that he thoroughly enjoyed. I would gladly use them again!”

Both dogs were happy and well-cared for when I returned. Helen was professional, attentive, and clearly has a way with animals. I highly recommend her services and would definitely book with her again!”
