“Emily is great! She is reliable and communicative, and my cats took to her immediately. I didn't have to worry about them once while I was out of town, and came home to two happy healthy kitties. Would be happy to book her again any time I have to go out of town!”
“Gabrielle was the most amazing pet sitter!! This was our first time using a rover for our dog and we are so happy we chose Gabrielle. She was patient with our somewhat nervous dog and was always in constant communication with us. She sent so many pictures and took such great care of our animals!! We will definitely be calling her again in the future!!”
“Caris has been an wonderful in looking after our pup. They are exceptionally professional, always responsive and helpful, and clearly care about our pup. Reflective of this - Caris has been wonderful after our dog had surgery, they were attentive to our extended care instructions and we never have to be worried about how our pup is doing when Caris is watching her. We would recommend Caris for anyone who needs help watching or caring for their dogs!”
“Nicholas did a wonderful job taking care of Evie during our time away. He also went above and beyond when the concierge was away from the desk and he came back again on his own time to feed her which we really appreciated. We would definitely book him again on our next trip away.”
“Erin took great care of my two cats, she sent us tons of pictures and checked in on them after we got back home! I appreciate her responsiveness even though my booking was last minute. I would definitely ask Erin to drop in on my kitties again!”
“It’s never easy leaving your pets at home when you go away on travel, but Carol truly gave me peace of mind the entire time I was gone. She had great communication and sent updates / pictures while I was away. Can’t recommend her enough and I will certainly book her again in the future!”
“Our dog is very shy so can be tough to care for but Olivia did a great job with her. She was very responsible, a good communicator and asked good questions. She took care of all the messes Poppy made and so the house looked and smelled clean when we got home!”
“Antonella has taken care of our two dachshunds a couple times now and always does a great job! Our one dachshund is very shy and she is always patient with him until he warms up after a couple of days. She recently watched them for a week while we were away and did a great job taking care of them and walking them each visit. Well definitely be using Antonella again in the future!”
About: I started a dog sitting business when I was 10 taking care of neighbors pets as well as my own. I have always been an avid dog and cat lover and throughout my life have interacted with many different breeds and sizes. I currently work from home giving me flexible hours allowing me to more easily fit your dogs into my schedule. Additionally, I am very familiar with the DC area allowing me to know all the great dog friendly areas! I currently have the cutest grey kitten Elias I rescued him from a shelter. He loves cuddles.. at all times of the day and playing with homemade toys.
“Kaya did a fantastic job watching our new dog and two cats. She provided photos and updates assuring us things were going well. She provided meds and even took extra care during fireworks to be sure our dog felt safe. It was our first time using the rover app and Kaya. We already plan to have her watch our pets our next trip!”
“Andre takes great care of my cat and goes above and beyond every visit. He’s communicative and even helped me handle an emergency home issue that came up while I was out of town. Highly recommend him (and so does my cat!)”
“Stephanie took such good care of my cat while I was gone for a weekend! She gave updates with pictures and a detailed messages, and gave him plenty pets and play time!”
“Becca was a wonderful sitter for our cat Maunz. Very fast and clear communication and was willing to come by in person for a meet & greet. She took lots of time to play with her and was so kind to send throughout updates of her visits. Thank you!”
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for over 5 years. I enjoy long walks with dogs, and am able to handle any size dog. I work full-time, but am available many evenings and weekends to walk your dog! I am reliable. I am happy to adjust my schedule in the evenings to help! Safety is the most important thing on walks. I’ll take under consideration your dog’s temperament and make sure we avoid any triggers. I’ll also always make sure we have a fun and productive walk.
“Lauren did a wonderful job at taking care of our cat, Rocky, while we were away for more than a week. She was always communicative, giving timely updates and asking questions when necessary. We would absolutely engage her pet-sitting services again and recommend her to any pet owner!”
