“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!”
“Teak seemed to genuinely enjoy his stay with Supon; I would definitely recommend him! Supon sent me tons of photos which I much appreciated - it is so much easier to leave town knowing that Teak is comfortable and happy. Teak had a great time at the park, eating little snacks, sleeping, and barking at squirrels and birds on the deck. Supon was an excellent host!”
“Tien couldn’t have done a better job taking care of our dog. We were on vacation for 12 days, and we received updates/pictures daily from Tien. Our dog was in great spirits when we picked her up, and it was clear she enjoyed being with Tien. Will definitely be bringing lulu back to Tien whenever we go out of town, if she’s available.”
“Susan was a great sitter for our older girl Bailey. She was very friendly and thorough during our meet and greet and provided very clear instructions to best prepare Bailey for her stay. She and her husband have older dogs themselves, so I was very confident in their ability to watch over our dog. Will definitely work with her again”
“Emma and her husband took great care of our dog, and sent us cute pictures and helpful updates. They were communicative throughout the process and flexible with our drop-off and pickup times. We loved that our pup had a built in buddy and outdoor space to run around. Would highly recommend!”
“Laurie and Rich always take great care of Louie! He has health issues and can be fussy with food and medicine but Laurie and Rich are patient and caring and I’m never worried about leaving him with them. They also send several photos throughout the day and give regular updates.”
“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!”
“Juliet is awesome!! Sosi had a blast playing with Romeo and running around on a lawn. Juliet sent lots of adorable pics and vids to prove it- highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Very nice, and caring. I felt safe and secure leaving my baby with Roxanna and her family. Bella came back with new extra energy from making a new friend in their dog. Roxanna communicates well and often which was reassuring while I was awhile from my baby. She is great!”
“Andy did an amazing job watching our five month old puppy, and on last-minute notice as well! It was our first time leaving him overnight and we are so grateful to Andy for taking such wonderful care of him, he returned to us happy and tired from plentiful playtime and walks.”
“Stephanie is great! My dog had a great weekend with her and she had so much fun in the backyard! Stephanie sent lots of photo updates and was quick to respond. Highly recommend!!”
“Leah took wonderful care of our dog when we were out of town! It was our first time leaving the dog with someone on Rover, and she went above and beyond to keep us in the loop on how she was doing, and sent us pictures. We will definitely be wanting to book Leah again in the future!”
“I would highly recommend Ann. We left our dog with her for three days and she came back happy, healthy and well taken care of. Ann sent photos and videos often, was in constant communication and wanted to learn about what our dog liked, disliked, and needed to have a good stay with her. We'd be comfortable leaving our dog with Ann anytime.”
“Jie took excellent care of my pup Milo! She sent pictures and provided updates. He looked happy and at home. When I picked him up, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave because he had such a great time. Jie was professional and I will absolutely leave Milo in her care again.”
“Yasmine was amazing! She responded to my request quickly, sent updates & photos throughout the night, & even checked on us the following day. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you Yasmine!!!”

“Once again, Taylor did a great job watching my kitties. She even troubleshooted my litter robot when it was being difficult. She is a communicative and considerate sitter.”
“Colleen did a fantastic job with my shy kitty who was even more skittish following a recent move. Communication was seamless and, judging from the photos, my cat absolutely loved her. I hope to use her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Hannah did such a great job with our kitten while we were out of town! Sent lots of pictures and updates that definitely helped our peace of mind leaving our girl for the first time! 😺”
“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were away! I really appreciated the little updates and photos of how they were doing. They were happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely entrust our fur babies with Maria again in the future!”
“Elizabeth is the best! She has cared for our cat several times now, but our cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and now needs more care. Elizabeth has handled it all like a pro, communicating clearly and being very patient with my nerves. Thank you!”
About: I first gained experience caring for cats while I was an au pair from 2016–2018. I helped my host family care for their cat by feeding, playing, cleaning the litter box, and giving insulin injections when needed. Since joining Rover, I’ve cared for cats in multiple households, with many repeat visits ranging from single drop-ins to over 10 visits for the same family. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer medication or insulin if needed, and make sure each cat receives plenty of attention, playtime, and loving care while their owners are away.
“Amanda took care of my cat while I was away and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She did an outstanding job, ensuring my cat was well fed, comfortable, and happy. Amanda provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Elise was excellent and helped us out very last minute, as our flight home was canceled. She offered to help within hours of us requesting service and went the extra mile with everything, thank you!”
“Tara took great care of our cat while we were away. She made sure she was fed and looked after. She sent us detailed updates and photos. We would definitely work with Tara again!”
“Anne is consistently amazing for our cat care needs! She does everything we request, is very attentive, and makes sure our cats get plenty of pets and affection. Our cats clearly love her, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re happy and well cared for when we’re away. Highly recommend!”
“Richard was absolutely great at taking care of my two cats while I was on vacation for 6 days. He was responsive and extremely detail oriented. During our meet and greet, he asked very insightful questions - clearing thinking of all possibilities. During my trip, he provided timely, consistent, and thorough updates. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a great cat sitter!”
“Great experience! Sent me updates throughout the stay with pictures. My cats were a lil shy but Amber was patient with them and they warmed up to her by the end ?”
“Spencer and Julia took great care of our guy! They were super easy to communicate with and sent tons of pictures. We’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Sierra took great care of our three cats. One even liked her enough to let her pet him! She communicated well with us and we felt our cats were in good hands when she came over.”
“Guiselle took great care of our 3 cats and was very communicative throughout our trip. She clearly loves animals and is very professional. I would trust Guiselle to watch our kitties again.”
“Elena was great! She went above and beyond to look after my cat. She came to meet my cat prior to my trip. She took photos while I was away. She made me feel at ease. Highly recommend.”
“Lucy was the best cat sitter we’ve had on Rover! She was very good with communicating, sending pics, and making sure our cats were happy while we were gone. We did not worry about the cats one bit. We will be hiring her again.”
“Shannon was incredibly communicative and kind. We were navigating a very skittish cat and she was incredibly compassionate and understanding. I would recommend her to any family.”

“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!”
“Supon took great care of our dog Miles. He took him out on various walks and gave him some great chews and toys. Miles is a beagle that needs a lot of activity so I was happy to see that he was very tired after his day at Supon's. He went straight to bed when we got home and didn't even come into the kitchen when we were making food! At Supon's place Miles also got to hang out with other dogs and was able to be around people and dogs all day (his favorite thing!).”
“Juliet was very accommodating to my work schedule. She kept me informed with pictures and how Remi was doing throughout the day. She is caring, kind and sweet and will make sure your pup is taken great care of.”
“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.”
“Five stars isn’t enough! My dog Harry absolutely adores Yiting. Every time she watches him, I know he’s not just being looked after, he’s having the BEST time. Whether it’s through play, cuddles or thoughtful little routines that makes him feel at home. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure the pets in her care feel loved, safe, and entertained. Her attention to detail, her kindness, and her deep love for animals shine through in everything she does. She also sends lots of great pictures and videos throughout the day! It’s such a relief to leave Harry in her hands, knowing he’ll be treated like family. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“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.”
About: I am a pet lover. I grew up in a home with many pets including dogs and cats and have always had a special connection to animals. I love going on long walks and heading to the dog park when the weather is nice. I am here to help you care for your pet the best way possible. I'll always listen to special instructions and will show your pet the love and attention as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to do "drop-in visits" and "rover now" walks during most week days when many walkers are unavailable. I am in the office two days a week, Tuesdays and a flex day. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! **I cannot accept pets that get into plants as I have a few not pet safe plants at home** **For house sitting you must be ok with my dog Buddy coming with me and staying at your house as well.** I work from home 3 days a week and am home most weekends! I too Iove middle of the day walks and all day hangs! I am in a pet friendly building that is super close to Rock Creek for longer walks. My home is child free, and smoke free. I do have a senior beagle mix I adopted from a family member who could not bring him with for an overseas move who is a full time pet at the home.
“Dzov and Carl LOVED their day with Brian and Izzy. They had so much fun, neither of them woke me up the next morning... they were so pooped from having a blast with Jax and Ziggy. We got lots of fun pics and videos throughout the day. Carl and Dzov can’t wait to see their friends again!!”
“Penny had a great time at Crystals house. I loved all the pictures throughout the day to see how penny was doing. Crystal was super responsive as well on all communication. Would highly recommend”
“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! ”
“My dog had a wonderful day in Tricia’s care! Tricia sent multiple photos and updates throughout the day. I look forward to having her watch my dog 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.”
“My husband and I were in DC for the weekend and had to check out of our hotel at 11am but wanted to still explore the city a bit before heading home. We needed somewhere for our dog iris to spend the day. We dropped her off at Prisila’s house while we went into DC. Prisila was very responsive and was flexible with drop off and pick times. The whole process was easy and convenient! If we come back to the city we would definitely let iris go over there again.”
“Sush is cordial and very friendly. She welcomed our Keegan with love and affection. She has a beautiful and ample space for daycare and board. Totally reliable and trustworthy. 5 stars.”

“Suphaphattra responded to us very quickly to walk our 55-lb lab mix on short-notice and did everything we hoped she would do! We would very happily use her services again - thank you Evie!”
“Noah has been great with our dog Toph, who can be a handful. He’s very responsive and follows our detailed instructions well. We are thankful to have his help.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Amber was very accommodating and understanding! She did a great job caring for my new puppy and sent pictures and gave great updates! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!”
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!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own pets and working in a professional pet-care environment at PetSuites. As a pet owner, I understand the importance of providing animals with proper feeding, fresh water, exercise, attention, and a safe and comfortable environment. I currently care for my two dachshunds, Winston and Kai. My experience at PetSuites has also helped me develop strong skills in customer service, communication, pet handling, cleanliness, and making sure each pet receives attentive and compassionate care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available most hours, seven days a week. I can provide consistent, reliable care for pets while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. Pet care is already an important part of my daily routine. I care for my two dachshunds, Winston and Kai, by providing meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, attention, and lots of love. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Simply AMAZING! I was overhearing in my room and she didn’t know I was home. When she came in to pick up my pup for a walk she was patient and made sure he had water in his bowl before the walk so when he comes back he can have water. She goes over and beyond and I am so grateful!”
“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.”
About: Hi! I took a break from pet sitting but I am so excited to be back! I love all kinds of animals! I have patience for those animals that may be timid or nervous. I can work with training or to just give an opportunity for exercise. I am up for anything! Dogs have become a passion of mine, and I am here to help you take care of your furry friend. They are precious companions and deserve a life where they are loved and paid attention to. That's what I am here for! I can help both your furry friend and help you by providing services and to love on your pet. It can be worry-some to hand your companion over to another so I am here to alleviate that stress. I am between jobs so I have lot of time for walks, play, stimulation etc. Your pet's health and well-being is my priority. I am happy to take your pet on any walks. There are plenty of trails around the Arlington area that are pet friendly. I am happy to play with your pet and give them lots of love!
“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!”
“I recommend Brenna! She was highly responsive and responsible. My dog is sweet, but can be an obstinate walker. She was patient with him and is very kind.”
“Ellie has provided such great care for Brady!! She has gone above and beyond all expectations . . . so nice to be able to go away and know that Brady is receiving such loving care.”
“Hannah was great getting Logan moving in the middle of the day while I was at work. She's super responsive and was a huge help to me in my first week back in the office.”
“Marley was amazing! I was gone for almost 5 days and have a very reactive girl dog and relatively chill boy dog. She took amazing care of them and sent so many updates. I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. It means so much to have people watch and care for your pets like they are their own!”
“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.”
About: With 3 years of experience caring for pets in the DC area, I provide reliable and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. From daily walks and feeding to overnight stays, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and entertained while you’re away. I have flexibility in my current work schedule and would like to use that opportunity to care for pets when their families most need it. In my clients home, I try my best to make all the pets feel comfortable and get to know me. Their care and comfortability comes first!
“Lucia has been walking my puppy and my senior dog almost every day for the past month or so and has been great. She is very communicative, providing photos and updates after every walk. She also is very accommodating when the unexpected comes up such as days when I did not go into the office. She is very reliable and trustworthy.”

“Mariela was great! She’s everything you want in a sitter - interested in your dog’s personality, flexible, and good at sending regular updates and pictures. Right from the introductory meeting, she was observing Nelly and asking me questions about her habits and quirks, and I felt perfectly at ease leaving her in Mariela’s care. Would 100% books again!”
“Kathleen has now cared for our two dogs 3 times (almost more than we saw them last month). She is absolutely amazing; she has no problem getting my older dog to take her pills, they get super excited to see her and she has been beyond flexible with us on drop off and pick-up. I highly recommend her!”

“Brian took amazing care of Jackie! He was incredibly communicative from the start, sending regular pictures and updates about her. It was particularly hot during her stay and Brian made sure that she was safe and kept a close eye on her after time in his lovely backyard. Jackie came home happy and healthy - all that you could ask for in a Rover stay. We will definitely be back to Brian’s house in the future!”
“Alisa was so fantastic to work with from start to finish. She is super communicative, it was easy to schedule the meet and greet and to coordinate drop off and pick up, and was so warm and kind to my pup. I trusted that gilly was being cared for and receiving lots of love the entire stay, and will absolutely use her in the future.”
