“Jenna is very kind and patient with my pack. Her communication is excellent, she is always on time and my fur babies enjoy seeing her!! It gives me me peace of mind to put them in her care.”
“Max took great care of my two dogs for 6 days. Was prompt with the visits, took them on occasional walks and kept me updated on the dogs with pictures and feedback.”
“I am consistently impressed with Don’s attentiveness and excellent communication when caring for my two cats! I am a repeat customer of Don’s and will continue to hire him. I am often out of town for long stretches of time for work and I always come home to two happy, well cared for cats. Don always makes note of my cats’ behavior, as well as general care he performed. It’s a comfort knowing that Don is giving thorough attention to detail when I’m away.”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful. She made sure to go over my cat's needs and preferences thoroughly. The updates were detailed and had lots of pics! I would absolutely book again when we go out of town.”
“Ruohan was absolutely amazing with my boy shadow! Shadow is a special little thing who is stubborn. She literally hand fed him since he was sad I was gone. She constantly updated with me with 7+pics each visit and I can follow along in the journey. She also would respond to questions almost immediately!! I can confidently say your sweet fur baby will be taken good care of and i will most definitely use her for future trips. Thank you again!”
“Nicole always does such a wonderful job caring for our dog. I especially like her comments to us on Rover that truly shows she understands the personality of our stubborn, quirky yet lovable dog. It makes me feel secure knowing Nicole is looking after her while we travel.”
About: I’ve had a dog for almost my whole life, so I’m experienced caring for pets of all ages. I’ve also pet sat for other families with both large and small dogs, and I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. In addition, I used to help my mom with cat sitting, so I’m familiar with caring for cats as well. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently not working until the end of June, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting all week. I enjoy spending time with animals. I’m also reliable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications if needed, and following any specific instructions to make sure pets stay happy, comfortable, and cared for. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I provide plenty of supervision, playtime, and affection. In a client’s home I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. I prioritize building trust with both pets and owners by being attentive, patient, and communicative.
About: With a profound passion for dogs and extensive experience in their care, I am dedicated to providing exceptional service. My own Lhasa Apso, now 6 years old, has been a constant source of joy and learning. Through my journey with her, I have honed my skills in ensuring a dog's happiness and health. I am both CPR and First aid certified for pets. I am committed to delivering the highest standard of care, ensuring your dog receives ample love, attention, and exercise. I am confident that I will treat your dog with the same care and affection that I give to my own. Your dog's well-being is my top priority, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for them. As a student, my schedule is highly flexible. I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets, offering regular walks, playtime, and overnight care whenever needed. I prioritize safety by keeping dogs supervised, checking fences, and following your exact routines. Your pet will receive constant attention, love, and care in a highly secure environment.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and I know how personal it is to trust someone with your best friend(s) and your home. My goal is to make the experience feel calm, safe, and stress free for both you and them. I’m especially comfortable with overnight house sitting, multi-pet households, senior pets, oral medication, separated feeding or space routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience at first. I understand that every animal has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, so I try to follow your instructions as closely as possible. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with daily clear check-ins and photos so you never have to wonder how your furry family members are doing. I’ll also be honest if anything seems unusual, because I’d rather communicate early than leave you feeling unsure. I’ll also treat your home with respect! I keep things clean, follow the boundaries you set, and do my best to leave your space just as nice (or nicer!) than I found it. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to planning around animals’ needs and keeping care consistent. For overnight house sitting, my weekday availability is typically Monday through Friday from 5:30 PM to 7:00 AM. That includes evening care, dinner, potty breaks or walks, medication, bedtime routines, overnight care, and morning care before I leave. On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, I generally have more flexibility and can provide care throughout the day. For drop-in visits, my weekday availability is usually evenings, with more flexibility on weekends and holidays. **For July 4, 2026 Holiday Weekend** I’m available for holiday drop ins for dogs and cats who may be more sensitive to fireworks, storms, or changes in routine. I’m always mindful, responsive, and attentive, and during busy holidays I know that steady care and clear updates can make a big difference for pet parents! I’ll always be upfront about my schedule before confirming a booking so we can make sure your pet’s routine and care needs are a good fit! When I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow the routine, rules, and boundaries you set. I want your dog/cat to feel safe in their normal environment, so I do my best to keep things consistent with their usual schedule, comfort needs, and household expectations. I’m very respectful of your home. I follow home access instructions carefully, keep pet areas tidy, and treat your space with the same care I would want someone to show mine. I’m also happy to discuss reasonable home care tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping pet areas clean. Before confirming a new booking, I prefer a meet & greet so we can go over your pet’s routine, personality, home access, emergency contacts, and anything else that would help you feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Mia is a fantastic pet sitter! My two kitty cats became instant friends with her. She was timely and followed all the instructions wonderfully! Thanks for taking such great care of our pets! Highly recommend.”
About: We understand the stress of trying to find a place for your pup. We have teo dogs, Mocha (a miniature Schnauzer) and Luka (a mix Lab). Having dogs has given my kids the confidence to feel comfortable around pets and lately we have been sharing our love with other dogs that we have cared for. The day starts with a walk, feeding, a later stroll down to the park (to play outside-based on weather), afternoon feed and a later walk. But if you feel this is too much for your dog, don't worry, we adapt and do what your dog likes best....We will take care of your dog with diligence and plenty of love. We have plenty of love to give. Morning feeding and walk. Mid day snack and playtime (outside, if weather permits). In the afternoon, a walk or playtime (if weather permits) and evening ends with a feeding and a walk. Again, we adjust based on each dog's needs. We board pups in our home. We have a fenced yard for supervised playtime and we keep your pup with the same that they have in your home. They will be loved!
“Katherine is wonderful! She is reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. Thank you, Katherine, Truvy loves hanging out with you and we will be sure to contact you again in the future!”
“Teresa did a fantastic job checking in on our cats! She was available for a last-minute holiday booking, was super patient with our shy cat, and we felt safe and comfortable having her stop by our home.”
About: Hello! My name is Shanice and I would love to take care of your fur baby! I have been taking care of animals specifically dogs ever since I was young. I have a dog of my own that I had ever since he was a puppy and he is 11 years old now so we basically grew up together. Not only I take care of a dog at home I also work with dogs on a daily basis. I work at a dog daycare facility so I feed, monitor, and train. I also work at a vet hospital where I help with the sick animals so you can see that animals are my life. If you have me looking after your fur babies I can guarantee that they are in the best hands. I am available for boarding on Sundays from 2pm to 5am. Wednesday from 2pm to anytime you want. I am also available on Thursdays openly. First I will make sure that they are well fed and well hydrated especially during the summer and have some quality playtime. If you allow me to bathe your pet I will to make sure they are all clean and comfortable.
“Kira was amazing and took care of our (oversized) dog very well while we were out of town. Have great, detailed reports and walk paths. Definitely recommend using her to watch your fur babies!”
“Dee Dee was great with our three cats. She was very communicative and responsive to all questions and requests. Two of our cats can be a bit standoffish, but they warmed up to her very quickly.”
Washington Grove dog parents share their Rover experiences
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! Hanah is very reliable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. She is clearly knowledgeable and experienced with dogs, and she takes the time to understand both your needs and your dog’s needs. Her expertise and genuine care gave me complete peace of mind. I was very pleased with the service she provided and would not hesitate to use her again in the future. I highly recommend Hanah to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter or dog walker.
We used Leticia recently to watch our 3 dogs. She did an excellent job. She was communicative, flexible, warm, and friendly. She came out ahead of time to meet our pets and asked appropriate questions. She also sent lots of pictures of our pets so that we knew they were happy and well cared for. We will absolutely be looking for her again in the future.
Nicole is the most kind, patient, friendly, loving dog sitter. She goes above and beyond communicating regularly about her visits. I cannot say enough about her care and integrity when watching my dogs. She dog sat for our 3 older dogs previously. We have 2 new special needs puppies that have hearing and vision issues, one is completely deaf and mostly blind. She was incredible with the two new puppies and our older dog. It was so nice to have peace of mind and know that our dogs were in her very competent care when we were away.
I can’t imagine trusting anymore more with my pet. Dymond is basically a part of our family at this point — she goes above and beyond for her clients and is the best dog sitter I have ever experienced. She is reliable, always clear & consistent with communication, leaves detailed logs for visits and notifies you immediately if there are any concerns or urgent needs. She is also so loving to my baby, sends me photos of how amazing of a time she’s having, I feel so happy knowing my dog has time with her during the week because she is so happy and content afterwards. I could go on and on, but needless to say I would recommend Dymond again and again!
Victoria was amazing!! My boyfriend and I had to go out of town due to a death in my family, and she was available last minute to watch my husky. It was my husky's first time not being around either me or my boyfriend and not having a friend watch her. Despite the separation sadness and anxiety my dog gave off, Victoria was a champ handling her. Will totally book her again!
Lauren did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Rocky, while I was away for a week. She was punctual, attentive, and very reliable. From the start, she took detailed notes on my instructions and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Rocky’s needs. Throughout the week, she kept me updated on how things were going and promptly communicated any concerns, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. In addition to taking great care of Rocky, making sure he had food, water, and plenty of attention, she also helped water my plants, which I really appreciated. It’s clear she is responsible, caring, and detail-oriented. I would absolutely trust her again with Rocky and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful pet sitter.
