House Sitting in Berwyn Heights

“Pond did a good job housesitting our older dog. They were very responsive and sent updates and photos. They followed our directions for walking and feeding. I would use Pond again.”

“Karleigh took great care of our puppy and kitty. She provided pics and continuous updates. We would definitely recommend and will request her assistance in the future.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my entire life. I currently have a 5 year old German Shepherd mix named Akari who is the absolute love of my life. I also, LOVE taking photos of pets. It's one of my favorite parts of doing Rover! I work Full Time 9am-5pm at the University of Maryland! During the week I can do drop ins/walks early in the morning and after work in the evening! Weekends I am completely open! Let me know what you need and we can work something out! Your pups comfortability is my first priority. I want this to be a fun and enjoyable experience for your dog and will do my best to make sure that happens.

“We continue to use Paola as our primary sitter. She is professional and courteous. Our dog loves spending time with her and she provides frequent updates. We will use her again for future visits.”

About: I have been petsitting, house sitting, cat sitting, and farm sitting since Rover was DogVacay, but actually since I was a child caring for my neighbors pets and horses. My dog Quill is around 8 years old and gets along with almost everyone. No one is perfect. That's why I ask that you allow enough time to schedule a Meet-N-Greet so we know your dog, my dog, and I are a good fit. I do not accept dogs that are not spayed or neutered. Sorry:( I am skilled at giving pills, liquid oral medications, and subcutaneous shots. (think diabetics and thyroid disease for cats) We have taken in a family member's cat in the past year. She is the queen of the household and is not intimidated by most dogs as long as they are not aggressive toward her. I can do drop in visits for cats, reptiles, and birds as needed. I do accept reptiles and birds into my home as well. My Husband and Stepson enjoy all the animals that come and go. I am working full time until June 17th, therefore I only accept dogs on the weekends until school is out. I just updated my summer schedule so there are more opportunities for walks, house sitting, and cat drop ins. I have a fenced patio that the dogs enjoy hanging out on. I do not have a yard, but my Condo is very large and there is plenty of room for the dogs to play and take breaks from each other. I do not take dogs off leash unless I know the dog very well and we are in a safe area such at the dog park or dog beach. I will only take your dog on excursions with your permission. My dog loves to go to the farm and the dog beach, but that's not for everyone. ;)

“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”

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.

“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”

About: I have grown up caring for a variety of different pets! My family has had dogs, indoor and outdoor cats, parakeets, gerbils, and fish. I love animals of all varieties and welcome the opportunity to help you care for your pets while you’re away! I also spent years pet sitting for dogs and cats for my neighbors growing up. I am available to provide house sitting, drop in care, and dog walking for your pets. I am based in College Park and will have a part time job at the University of Maryland this summer, so my schedule is flexible and I am able to accommodate your pets’ needs! I’m currently working a part time job in the DMV area and very flexibly to accommodate your pet’s schedule. I’m happy to schedule my days around their individual needs and requirements. I currently live in an apartment, so I am unable to take your pets into my home. In your home, I’m happy to accommodate your pets however needed! I am dedicated to learning your pets’ daily routine so that I can keep them happy and healthy while you’re away.

About: I have had pets my whole life (many cats and a dog—as well as a few reptiles) and have experience looking after both cats and dogs. I currently have one cat named Hildegard (I can spend way too long talking about her) and grew up having four cats in the house! I do not currently have a dog and I would love to spend time taking care of yours! I have flexible availability and will always check in/update the owner as much as they would like. I am a grad student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do research and go to libraries during the day when they're open, but aside from that my schedule is pretty open. If there is an issue with scheduling I'm usually able to move things around to make it work and happy to work with you to figure out the best plan for you and your pet(s)! I always check in with the owner if anything comes up and will make sure to send you updates as much as you'd like. I have experience caring for animals and always try my best to read their body language to make sure they're happy and feel safe.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs since I was 6. I took main responsibility of my dogs when I was 9 years old and I have experience with many different breeds including Bully breeds. I know how to properly train, discipline, reward, feed, walk, and bathe pets. I am currently student at university so I would love to spend my weekends taking care of your pets. My schedule is flexible and I’m willing to spend my nights to watch your pets. I would also love to take afternoon walks and would love if your furry friends could join me. I respect any wishes you have for how you would like your pets to be within the house. I can keep your pet crated if you prefer or have them roam the house while keeping a close eye on them. I constantly pay attention to your pets and watch for any signs that they may show.

“Maria was so great! I loved that she wanted to do a meet and greet beforehand. I can tell Shiloh was well taken care of. Even when I got a little worried, she was able to quickly reassure me. I definitely plan on booking her again for my future trips if she’ll have us :)”

“Did a great job taking care of our pups”

“Alexandra was wonderful! She filled in with little notice when another person canceled on us. Alexandra was friendly, communicative and our dogs loved her! She put us at ease especially because this was only our second time using Rover and we had never left our dogs for this long before. I would absolutely recommend her and we definitely hope she will be available when we need her in the future.”

“Aliyah was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! One of our dogs still has ‘puppy energy’ but she was calm and firm with her. And I swear my house was cleaner than when I left. We absolutely will be booking with her again!”

About: In the past I had 1 childhood fur sibling (Yorkshire terrier) for 13 years. Currently I am dog mom to two fur babies. My oldest is a 6 year old 50lb pit mix and youngest is a 5 year old 175lb English Mastiff. In past years I ran an Airbnb out of my home in which I have hosted several dog guests with their human companions. My dogs are always excited to meet a new friend that visits. In the event a guest dog doesn't favor mine our policy was to keep everyone separate alternating food and bathroom breaks. My backyard is fenced with a six foot fence and the dogs can play or use the bathroom back there. My availability is currently fairly open as I pursue a new career working in the dog training industry. I'll take on clients in between my own education and training. My oldest dog, Rona is a 50lb 6 year old pit mix. My youngest dog Gemma is a 175lb 5 year old English mastiff. After 3+ years my dogs and I have had plenty of experience hosting dogs of all flavors of personalities. My back yard is fenced in and the side door that leads to it has a dog door. We typically have bathroom breaks every few hours or so until bed time. Upon arrival guest dogs and their human walk about the house and back yard to get the scents of everyone who lives within before re-meeting my dogs. I like to schedule a meet and greet before hand to see if all doggies will get along. I have discovered that some dogs are wary of large breed dogs. My Mastiff is VERY friendly and loves all dogs but unfortunately the love isn't always returned kindly.

“Molly was available on short notice, the dogs love her, she has a steady hand, and is nothing but pleasant and communicative. What else can you say?”

About: My partner and I work together to provide reliable and attentive house sitting and pet care throughout the DMV area. I currently work part-time as a concierge, which has strengthened my professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for building security and residents’ privacy. My partner is studying online to become an electrician, which gives him a flexible schedule and a strong sense of responsibility and problem-solving. We also have a cat of our own, so we understand the importance of routine, litter care, enrichment, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. Caring for animals in their home requires patience and attentiveness, and we take that seriously. Together, we have experience caring for dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. Working as a team allows us to provide consistent supervision, maintain routines, and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. We are comfortable with: • Small to large dogs • Senior pets • Multiple-pet households • Following detailed feeding and care schedules We prioritize clear communication, cleanliness, and maintaining a calm, secure environment at all times. Our goal is to provide dependable care so you can travel with peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our routine. I work some night concierge shifts, which gives me flexibility during the day to maintain feeding schedules, walks, and check-ins. Spending time outdoors with pets is a great balance after overnight work, and I enjoy being active with them. My partner studies in the evenings, so we are both structured and routine-oriented. Having pets in our care fits well with our schedule, as we prioritize consistency, fresh air, and daily activity. Because of our schedule flexibility, we are able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening care while ensuring pets receive attentive and reliable supervision.

“Jane is wonderful! She took great care of my senior boy who requires medication twice a day. She was in constant communication with me, sent lots of pictures, and was clearly very attentive to him. I’m definitely asking her to stay with Buddy again!”

“Chandler did a fantastic job watching our Maltipoo at our home while we were on vacation. She was with him for 11 nights. As others have mentioned, she leaves the house better than how we left it. I am a helicopter dog mom and I asked for lots of photos and updates before we left and she delivered. She is also witty and takes the best photos and provides g funny updates. We would use her again and again. .”
