About: What sets me apart is my endless patience and keen attention to detail—I treat every pet like they're my own. When I'm not spoiling my own kitties, you'll find me behind the camera, snapping cat photos to help them find their forever homes. Rest assured, I'll share the best update pictures of your fur babies while you're away. I work full-time but am mostly home-based, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care for your pets throughout the day. Whether it's drop-ins, walking, or just taking a break to give your furry friend some love, I'm here to ensure they're happy and comfortable. Available on weekdays and weekends! Drop-In Visits / House Sitting: When visiting your home, I’ll ensure your pet has fresh food and water, take them out for a walk or let them out for a bathroom break, and spend quality time playing or cuddling with them. I treat your home with care and your pet like family.

“Couldn't be happier with Joe and his great communication while looking after my boy. Thanks a million and I hope that I can use you again in the future.”

About: I had two dogs back in my hometown and they feel like boss of the house when I am around. I can take care of puppies, small dogs and big ones too. I am currently doing my masters at UMD and I am usually free in the day because my classe are mostly scheduled in the evening I live in apartment housing, well it has a park and lot of space to walk around. I can come to your house and walk them around.

“Izzy was good with our dog. She spent time with her before and after the walk and Roxy looked forward to her coming. Unfortunately she was over committed and wasn’t able to continue with us.”

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with over 25 years of caregiving experience. I have had dogs almost continuously since kindergarten ranging in size from a 5 lb poodle mix (Trooper) to a 95 lb yellow lab (Nala), in addition to 3 years as a parent to 2 cats, Jules and Gemini. Jules was with us only briefly due to her advanced age when she was adopted, while Gemini is a much younger kitten who wasted no time claiming my home as her own. I also recently lost my 10 year old corgi (Sadie) unexpectedly to an extremely aggressive form of cancer, and so would love the opportunity to spend some therapeutic time with your furry kid. Prior to beginning work through Rover, I have several years of experience caring for cats and dogs for a variety of friends, family, and neighbors including everything from drop-in visits and dog walking to full-time house/petsitting. Outside of my petsitting duties, I am a PhD chemist working hard to make the battery in your phone last longer and your electric car drive further. My wife and I moved to the Silver Spring area in 2024 for her job as a television producer and I am in the process of establishing myself in the DMV research community. Availability: Except in special cases, I am available for booking at any time of day, any day of the week. I am happy to provide everything from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays. I am currently working part-time from home, so I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets at any time! This can include drop-in visits to your home, overnight stays with your fur baby, and day-care or boarding at my home (as long as they're friendly with my cat Gemini). I am glad to visit your home as frequently as you prefer. All visits will include checks for water quantity and freshness, any prescribed food refills or walks, and of course play time. I'm also happy to provide overnight care for your pets and home if preferred, please send me a message if you are interested in more long-term visits. I'm also very happy to host your pets in my own home! I have plenty of room for cats and dogs up to 50-70 lbs. Both my wife and I have had pets our entire lives and between the two of us, someone is nearly always home to supervise and provide any needed care. Since I live in an apartment complex, I do not have a private yard but do have plenty of communal space for walks and other outdoor activity.

“Zada communicated with me about my little guy and how his walk went. I could tell from her feedback that she was very aware of his sensitivity to sound and overall overstimulation from the city. Despite his sensitivity, she was patient with him and let him continue to explore on his walk. You definitely want Zada walking your fur babies :)”

About: I grew up with 2 cats, a dog, and crested gecko. I have pet sat since high school, watching over everything from an axolotl to a parrot! I currently live with 2 cats and would love to hangout with any of your furry or scaly babies. I have a pretty open school schedule and am around most of the time. My school days typically end around 1pm, but I am able to come back in between classes if needed. I plan to follow the owner’s instructions for pet care as everyone cares for their own a little bit differently. I have experience with senior animal care and would love to help out.

About: Hi! My name is Aubrey, and I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years caring for all kinds of animals — from household pets to farm animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether they’re playful puppies and kittens or senior pets needing extra patience and care. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy care, training, routines, and the patience and attention young dogs need. As a college student and future grad student at UMD, I have a very flexible schedule, especially over the summer and into next semester. I’m available for overnight stays, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, medication administration, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand every pet has different needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college and future grad student here at UMD, I have a flexible schedule with availability for overnights, walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure to ask questions not only about your puppy but your house and regular routines. Health in animals is very important while you’re away so I always ask to have detailed notes or instructions.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for 25 years now. Growing up I had a dog, five cats, and our house was known to feed the stray cats in the neighborhood. I’m a huge animal lover. I’ve been pet sitting clients for the past 4 years, and I absolutely love the work. Dogs and cats are so sensitive to change, so I love catering to their needs to make sure their time apart is free from stress. I do this by maintaining their routine, providing plenty playtime/exercise if they’re open and able, lots of pets and cuddles if they’re interested, and staying home as much as possible so they can have the security of a present and consistent caretaker (overnight care). I want the pets to feel like they’re on vacation too! As for the pet owners/stewards, I love to send plenty of pictures and videos, so they can feel at ease knowing their pets are cared for! I don’t have a lot of selfies/photos with the pets but under my photos you’ll see all the sweet pets I’ve cared for! Please let me know if you have any questions! I’m a part time actor— mostly theatre. I’m free during the daytime and normally have rehearsals in the evening. When there are evening rehearsals I walk dogs in the early evening 5 or 6 before leaving and walk them before bed, around 10:30.** **As of April 12th 2026 I’ll have full availability for dog/cat sitting and dog walking I prefer staying in a clients home so pets can stay in an environment they’re used to. I provide lots of cuddles for the pets that need it. If clients have carpeting, I’d like to know their preferred carpet cleaning methods (I.e. machine or hand scrub) in case of any accidents.

“Maria is absolutely amazing! She was able to calm our reactive dog and her knowledge has also helped us make our family walks better for Mickey!”

About: Hi! I’ve loved animals my whole life—I was always the one begging my parents to take in every stray I found 🐾 I’m currently a nursing student, so I’m very detail-oriented, responsible, and focused on safety. I also have a prior military background, which has taught me discipline, reliability, and consistency in everything I do. I’m very active and love running, so I’m great for high-energy dogs who need walks and exercise, while also being calm and patient with cats and more relaxed pets. I’m comfortable following routines, giving lots of attention, and keeping you updated with pictures so you always know your pet is happy and safe. My schedule varies with school during the week, but I’m available outside of those days, along with mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I also have occasional required skills hours, but I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs 🐾 During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care based on their personality—whether that’s going for a walk, playing, or just keeping them company. I always prioritize safety by ensuring secure leashing, clean water, and a safe environment before leaving. I also provide regular updates with pictures so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away 🥰

“Kaylynn was super responsive and made time to do a pre-walk visit to socialize with my foster. She was very familiar with the breed and the neighborhood which made the experience so much smoother. My foster pup took to her well and they had a great time together. Highly recommend”

“Gio was an excellent dog walker. She helped me when my current dog walker could not continue walking buddy. She reported all the details of the visit efficiently and gave us peace of mind. She was informative and responsible. This was my first time using rover and I had a great experience thanks to Gio. She has a true love for dogs and what she does. I will definitely work with her in the future.”
