“Renee went above and beyond to make sure my baby was healthy and happy! Would recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind while they’re out of town!”



“Gabs was absolutely amazing!! We did a meet and greet prior to the actual session and they were very patient with my pups. My youngest was very skeptical and skittish and they were so patient with my pup. They helped cut up a snack for the pups and even did some light cleaning after. I came home to two happy pups and all toys packed up. Gabs was super communicative and very patient. My pup has warmed up to them and I definitely would book Gabs again!! They are very warm and personable. I look forward to working with Gabs again.”


“In over 30 years of using boarding and pet sitters, Ariel is the GOAT, the boys completly loved her and they already miss her. Ariel was prompt, respectful, informative and left the house in better condition then when we left(which we don't expect). We could go on, but is was a honor to get to meet her. She has our permission to give our numbers to anyone who wants a more detailed review. Thank you Ariel Christina and Steven”


“Tori is a great dog sitter. She clearly communicates her schedule, shows up on time, sends great updates, follows care instructions (complicated for senior dogs), and treats our pups like gold. We’re very grateful. Thank you, Tori!”

“Mya did a great job taking care of my dog Winnie. She was communicative and sent lots of fun pictures. I would absolutely trust her to watch Winnie again!”


“Julia took wonderful care of my energetic cat while I was away. I could tell Clover had lots of playtime and attention and was happy and calm when I returned. Julia was super responsive throughout and provided lots of photos. Would definitely book her again!”


“Caroline is the best! This was our first time having Caroline stay with our pets while we were traveling, and she made us feel like they were in such good hands from the start. We have a reactive dog, so finding a sitter we trust is super important for us. Caroline was so patient with our dog, and she took the time to learn her triggers and comfort her when she was anxious. She followed our instructions closely and was very attentive. We got tons of updates and photos during our trip, which we loved. We will definitely have Caroline take care of our girls again!”


“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”


“Christina has been cat sitting my two fur babies for a couple of months when I go on business trips. She has wonderful communication and my cats (who are picky) love when she’s over. They are well taken cared of and hope to continue booking with Christina for future pet sitting needs ! Thank you, Christina !”


“Vanessa did a great job and was very communicative and sent lots of pics while I was away! I also was dealing with travel issues and Vanessa was flexible to help me out. Thank you!!”


“Shereen is simply fantastic. She’s been walking our senior girl for a few months now, but this was the first time we’ve had her pup-sit. She sent regular updates and amazing photos and it was clear how well both pups were being cared for. I’m pretty sure our dogs don’t want us to come home. 😉”



“I knew Pamela would be a great house sitter for my dog Ruby when we first met. She focused first on Ruby - making a connection and understanding her routine. Pamela sent frequent updates and pictures. I came home to a happy dog and a home well taken care of.”


“Addie was amazing watching my kitties! She was very communicative including lots of pictures and videos which I loved! Also very responsive and easy to plan with. The cats were well taken care of and loved and even my plants got some love too!”


“This was our first time using Rover. We came to DC for a graduation and Naval commissioning and needed a dog sitter for a full day. Zoe replied and the rest was history. Her online communication was awesome. We did a meet and greet and which and immediately felt comfortable leaving Dolly (American Staffordshire Terrier/Pittie) with her. Zoe arrived on time and we left. Zoe sent pictures during the day and gave us a status report. When we arrived back at our hotel, they were both snuggled on the couch. To sum it up, Zoe is totally reliable, very communicative and I am absolutely sure you will have no issues if you decide to let her watch your dog(s).”


“She exceeded my expectations. She was very careful and affectionate with my cat, and throughout the time, I received videos and photos in which the kitty looked very comfortable and happy. It is clear that she loves animals and knows exactly how to take care of them and make them feel comfortable and safe. She is very organized and responsible. In my case, she took care of my pet for eight consecutive days, and when I arrived, everything was perfect. I highly recommend her 100%.”


“Aly did great taking care of our older pups, including their medication and keeping them company. She was very accommodating when our flight was unexpectedly delayed.”


“Second time having Kylee in our home to sit for our pup and it went really well! Our dog was completely relaxed with her, and she’s usually anxious when we’re gone. Two thumbs up!”


“Korrey did a wonderful job taking care of our German Shepherd Quincy and hound mix Sydney while we were on vacation for a week. Sydney is a little skittish towards new people, but she warmed right up to Korrey - he has very calm energy. Korrey administered several medications for the dogs and also picked up the dog poop in the backyard. He followed all instructions, sent a few pictures, and I never had any issues getting in touch with him. I was nice to be on vacation and not have to worry about our pups at all!”

Waverly Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karly did an amazing job house-sitting for Shelby. In the past Shelby would have occasionally not eat or poop - but she no problems with eating or pooping under Carly's care! Carly took Shelby on several walks daily. Also she brought in the mail and watered some plants while I was away. She left the house spotless so it was easy to come to a clean house and happy dog!

Spencer did a great job giving us regular updates about our pets (dog and cat) while we were out of town. It was very reassuring knowing they were in good hands. They looked so happy in all of the photos he sent us so I know they had a great time. I would happily have Spencer watch our pets again.

Korrey took care of our pets over five days while we were away and, once again, was the best the pet sitter we’ve had in a long time! Our feisty cat and bulldog were healthy and happy when got home. Both have either prescription meds or diet and Korrey makes sure to meet their needs. Communication was great as always and we got lots of pics/updates. We highly recommend picking Korrey for all your pet sitting or dog walking needs!

Gus took to Jennifer immediately upon meeting her! She has been a phenomenal walker and overnight sitter. She is a great communicator, takes excellent pictures, and treats Gus like her own. Gus is an older pup and has some medical issues. He requires medication twice a day and needs to be carried up and downstairs. Jennifer has done an amazing job taking all of his needs into consideration and he is clearly so happy everytime he spends time with her. I highly recommend Jennifer and would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Yiting was the most attentive and thoughtful I’ve found in my area! She was very communicative throughout the entire time and I gave her specific instructions which she followed to the letter. Even more important, my dog seemed comfortable and had all the playtime he needed while I was gone. Highly recommend
