“Steve!!! You are awesome! I extremely and highly appreciate your patience with my little one. I’m also glad that the chicken pieces worked like a charm :)) And thank you for talking to her constantly specially during the walk. That’s exactly how we walk. She likes to be talked to all the time. Thank you again!!”
“Brian was great! He followed all the instructions I gave him on taking care of not only my dog by two dogs I was watching as well. He made sure to let me know when he got there so I could disarm the alarm and arm it when he left and took great pics of my pupper!”
“This was the first time I used Rover and someone I did not know to take care of my dog. Sydni did more than take care of my pup, she took care of my worries. She was so thoughtful in the texts. Matrix was beyond happy. I would use her anytime. It was easy to meet with her, and she kept me updated twice a day on how he was. She cut the walks short if it was too hot outside, considered how he might react with the fireworks, just incredibly caring.”
“Olivia was lovely! Very responsive and communicative which I really appreciate. Will definitely be a return customer. Thanks for taking great care of Goose!”
“Carla was fabulous with our once a day visits for our cat Milo! She arrived on time and followed our care plan as instructed. We will plan to use her again in the future!”
“Very good with communication, was on time, and even got my Mocha to play and gave her lots of cuddles and love! Absolutely adore Pond. I look forward to Mocha having future visits with him! 5 🌟”
“Kelsey did a great job taking care of our two pups while we were away. She was attentive, timely, and thoughtful. We will definitely book again!”
“Sarah has been a great sitter for our new puppy. She showed incredible patience when dealing with him and his hesitancy around new people. She has been consistently punctual and communicates regularly about how our puppy is doing.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, starting with my own Maltese, Snowball, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. From walks to bath time to snuggles, I’ve been hands on every step of the way with the support of my family. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pups too, knowing I treat every dog like my own. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to care for senior dogs, small breeds, and playful pups alike. I work a part-time job at my college on Wednesdays, but I’m available to sit any other day of the week! I have lots of time to give your pup attention, playtime, and outdoor walks. I’m especially free for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm. I have a fenced yard and a sweet older dog named Snowball who gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. At my home, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of affection and attention. I love keeping their routines consistent and providing a calm and safe space. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I will follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I have had cats since I was 5 and now have 3. I volunteer at a ferret rescue, so I specialize in ferrets and cats! I often cat sit for my neighbors across the street. Note: I don't have much experience with dogs. I am in college but am currently not taking in-person classes. However, that will change in several months. I can come pretty much any time on weekdays but it's limited on weekends. On Saturdays I'm at the ferret rescue, but can come after 1:30. I regularly scoop and change my cats' litter boxes and play with them. If you give me a detailed set of instructions via text or a sheet of paper, I will make sure to complete the tasks with care. Please be open to follow up questions as I do not know the layout of your home.

“Molly did a great job taking care of my dog for a few days while I was away. I have a camera at home, so she followed all my instructions properly but one area she could improve on is time management. Other than that, she's still learning and is on a good path as a pet sitter.”

About: "I treat every pet like family offering not just basic care, but genuine love, attention, and consistency. I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality and routine, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and stress-free in your absence. With clear communication, real-time updates, and a strong sense of responsibility, I go beyond sitting, I build trust. As a college student home for the summer, I have a completely flexible schedule and can be available at any time throughout the day. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m reliable, and able to provide consistent attention and companionship. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can adjust to fit each pet's needs and routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort, safety, and happiness come first. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their regular routine feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep everything tidy and provide regular updates with photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised space where they can feel relaxed and loved. I create a safe environment with plenty of attention, play, and rest just like home away from home. My goal is to make your pet feel as happy and comfortable as possible, wherever they are.

Sophie T.
“Sophie recently signed on as a valued volunteer for our 501c3 ferret rescue "Washington Metro Area Ferret Outreach" She has quickly learned various skills, and has shown to be a dependable volunteer in caring for the 31 ferrets in our home-based shelter. She works with a team of other volunteers to clean and maintain the cages, engages in enrichment with the ferrets, takes a few minutes to also play with the resident cats. We have entrusted a house key and some unsupervised visits from Sophie to come when the shelter operator had out of town business, at which time she was able to go solo and offer supplemental feedings, check on the welfare of over 30 ferrets, and then "rotate" ferrets in and out of play areas. Sophie has show to be a very compassionate, skilled and reliable care taker for the ferrets at the shelter!. I highly recommend her for Rover.”
