“Shadid is amazing! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving my puppy, Rudy, with someone else. From the moment we met Shadid, she was great with Rudy. I was concerned about Rudy getting anxious and being difficult to manage. I realized quickly that I had nothing to worry about with Shadid. Rudy was immediately comfortable with her. I don’t think he even noticed me leave because he was so excited to hang out with Shadid & Pebbles all day. Throughout the day, I received pictures of Rudy at the park and playing. It felt great knowing that Rudy was in good hands and having an amazing day. When I picked Rudy up, he was sad to leave! Rudy can be challenging and usually takes a while to warm up to people, so I was extremely impressed by Shadid’s ability to care for dogs. I would absolutely be comfortable leaving Rudy with Shadid again and am so grateful that I found her. If you love your dog and don’t know which sitter will be best, contact Shadid!! Your dog will have the best day and you’ll feel great knowing he/she is in good hands! From a professional standpoint, Shadid is excellent. I’m in medical school and was taking an exam during Rudy’s stay, so it was important to me that the sitter be professional. Shadid was perfect. She responds quickly and is completely reliable. I strongly recommend her!”

“Huey took such great care of my pupper Winky, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Winky can be super shy at first, so I always get nervous leaving him with someone new, but he got comfortable with Huey so quickly it was amazing! She has two super friendly dogs of her own(a little bichon and a corgi), and they got along so well with Winky which is awesome. She also sent me updates and photos during the stay and it looked like he was completely relaxed and having the best time. I also added on grooming during his stay, since she’s also a home based groomer and did such an amazing job(she told me she has 20 years of grooming experience!!) Winky came home looking so clean and adorable with the cutest haircut! You can really tell she has a ton of experience with dogs and genuinely cares about them. I’d absolutely book with Huey again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and caring for their pup!”

“Krista and Roger are our wonderful neighbors, and we recently started using them for occasional daycare for our dog, Grover. Grover loves spending time with Shyloh and their whole family. Krista’s incredibly responsive to my requests and any questions I have. We know Grover’s safe and loved when he visits Krista and Roger’s home!”

About: My priority is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home- even when you’re not. I have more than 5 years of experience in pet grooming services, and I also have basic obedience training dog skills I work part time as a dog/cat groomer from monday to friday so basically i have the rest of my time to take care of your lovely friend and also my wife is a pet groomer too but she stay at home with my kids i have a fenced back yard for your pups for pee and poo. they can stay free inside the house unless you want them to be in his/her crate

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for years through friends, family, and pets I've had the opportunity to care for along the way. Those experiences taught me that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. Today, I'm the proud owner of a Cavapoo puppy, Oreo, which has given me daily hands-on experience with puppy care, exercise, feeding routines, enrichment activities, and positive reinforcement. Caring for my own dog has strengthened my understanding of the patience, consistency, and attention that great pet care requires. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I prioritize communication, reliability, and regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is receiving the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to help them feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a flexible schedule and be present for the pets in my care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping pets comfortable and on their usual routine. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Because I work from home, I'm able to maintain a flexible schedule and be present for the pets in my care throughout the day. This allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while helping pets stay comfortable and on their usual routine. I also have a friendly Cavapoo puppy, Oreo, who loves companionship and can be a great playmate for dogs who enjoy being around other pets. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while their owners are away.
“My puppy, Buddy, loves Iwona! She took wonderful care of my puppy. I appreciated the early drop off time she offered and the frequent pictures and updates. Iwona knows dogs well and was very patient with my five month old boy. We look forward to seeing Iwona again!”

“Huan was such great help taking care of my dog for 3 days. She was very communicative about his day and always sending me pics and videos of his day. Will totally recommend her as a pet sitter and I am sure we will be coming back again :).”

“Very nice. But keep in mind she may not be able to manage a bigger and energetic dog. My dog was too excited. I work until late at night and dont have time to go to sitter so I settled for a daycare day instead of overnight.”


“We can't be happier with Sophia's service through Rover. The appointment schedule is easy and flexible with fast responses to our questions; most of all, Goliath seemed to really enjoy his stay. Plus, we also received real-time updates. Affordable and friendly service around the DC area, we highly recommend Sophia! Thanks, Sophia.”

“Sriju is a very kind person. She is attentive to my dog, Daisy, when she stays for the day. Daisy loves staying with her. I will continue to keep bringing my dog to stay with Sriju🐶🥰”


About: It's the best feeling to know you have a caring person to care for your dog while you're away. I am an avid dog lover, and owner of a 13-year-old, Shih Tzu. I am active and love outdoors. Allowing me to care for your dog, he/she will be in great hands. I can provide morning, afternoon, evening and weekend dog walks around your neighborhood, follow a regular routine, or even go to a favorite dog park. An important goal for me is to provide consistent high quality care, and a lasting relationship. I have the basic knowledge of dogs with a sense of humor/professional as well. I am licensed, bonded, insured and CPR-certified. Your dog will get attention & love just like he/she is my very own Shih Tzu, Tazz! I have the appropriate accessories setup for daycare and doggie care in my apartment. If any adjustments need to be made, willing to provide necessities as needed. I am currently working outside the home 4 hours daily; early hours 4:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m. I am available for doggie/kittie care in all aspects after 9:00 a.m. daily While I am in an apartment, I have arrangements for doggie care/separation, if needed, i.e. gated area/crate (in intervals) I allow free-run of the apartment, otherwise.
“Juju received great care. She was happy when we picked her up. Cornell is quick to respond to any questions or to provide updates as requested. He gave great details and feedback on her visit when we picked her up.”

About: Are you a dog parent who’s worried whether your sitter will treat your dog as family AND actually provide them with individual care and attention instead of just being one of MANY dogs staying within the home? I know this experience first hand as I also worry about my dog’s safety especially when a sitter’s home has several dogs, which pretty much mimics a boarding facility. This defeats the purpose to me of my dog staying in a home, so as a dog sitter myself, I aim to do just the opposite. _______________________________________ Hi! My name is Dianne, and I am a long-time foster dog mom and have a foster fail of my own. I have been fostering since 2017 and have successful adopted out 11 dogs through Fetch WI rescue and Lucky Dog Animal Rescue in DC. •• MY CARE APPROACH •• I aim to always provide high-quality and safe care by hosting AT MOST 2 dogs at a time (in addition to my resident dog, Kona). This is especially important to us as we know how crowded boarding facilities can be (AND sometimes sitters’ homes) and the stress this can cause on dogs. My goal is to be able to provide constant and undivided attention to your pup while in my home. I also require meet & greets before booking to ensure your dog is comfortable with mine. After booking, I still ensure that all dogs get properly introduced to each other (first outside on a leash, then through a gate barrier, and finally without barriers). As an experienced foster parent, safety will always be my top priority. You can expect to get an immediate update to how your pup is settling in after drop off and daily after that. You won’t have to wait around for updates. Leaving your baby is also stressful, and I hope to alleviate some of that stress with constant, reliable communication (I know I expect the same with my Kona 🙂) My husband, Jake, and I work from home and would love the opportunity to provide individualized care for your pup. ———— ———— ———— ———— —— Since I do not have a backyard, I provide several walks throughout the day for daycare and boarding dogs as well as providing dedicated play time either in the house or in an unfenced grassy area behind our house using long rope leads to allow the freedom for dogs to run around (if requested). I make sure to account for each dog’s needs whether they need a lot of activity and stimulation or if they would just prefer to hang around the house and nap. I hope I get to meet your pup! I currently work from home and have a ton of flexibility to step away from my computer as needed. My husband works a hybrid schedule and will be home some days. I have a mellow 5 year old resident dog who loves to play if your pup is interested. Otherwise she pretty much minds her own business. She is a St. Bernard and Blackmouth cur mix who is very gentle and has had a lot of exposure to dogs of varying temperaments through fostering. She can’t wait to meet you pup!

This was our first time leaving our dog, Lotus, with a sitter. Sriju put all of our concerns at ease with updates and pictures throughout the day. She also helped address all questions and concerns we had prior to finalizing our booking. As a new dog mom, this exceeded my expectations! Thanks Sriju!

Huey took such great care of my pupper Winky, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.

Olga was the best 😊 Diego clearly enjoyed his time with Olga and her sweet dog! I am so glad that I was able to find someone who gave great care to my dog— will definitely be seeing Olga again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing doggy day care! 🐕 😁

Dani is truly a lifesaver and one of the absolute best sitters you could ever ask for! She welcomed my dog into her home on very short notice when I had a sudden family emergency and had to fly overseas. From the very beginning, her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals were clear. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and cared for as if he were her own. She sent me frequent updates, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She carefully followed all of the instructions I left. Her communication was amazing! she not only kept me fully updated on how he was doing, but she also checked in on me and my family during such a difficult time, which meant a lot. I have another trip coming up soon, and without a doubt, I’ll be booking with Dani again. I cannot recommend her highly enough! if you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Dani is the one! 🤍🤍🐶🐕

Elizabeth and family took care of Bandit very well! We first had a meet & greet to check if their cute pug Olive gets along with our wild Bandit. Their fenced in yard was perfect for Bandit to run around, they updated me regularly during the day, and Bandit had an overall great day at their house.
