“We just moved to the area so finding a new sitter for our dog was very important. I’m so happy we found Meri! Meri was very responsive and did a great job caring for our dog, Nina. We left Nina for three nights and we received photos/updates daily. Nina seemed very happy and loved the extra attention she received from Meri and her family. Thank you so much for taking care of our baby! We will definitely be using Meri again.”
“Yvonne and her family were phenomenal! Our pup was obviously loved and spoiled— looks like he went on a vacation himself staying with them! We very much enjoyed and appreciated all the wonderful photos she sent too! Thank you Yvonne!!”
About: About me: After growing up with dogs, I became a dog mom in 2020 (shout out pandemic puppy parents) to a now 6 year old rescue pup from Puerto Rico! I love to be able to give my friends and family peace of mind when traveling, working late, shuffling schedules and more. For boarding requests, I do also have a 3 year old cat- she is indifferent with dogs but we ask that all overnight stays confirm a meet and greet to ensure comfort/safety of all pets prior to boarding. Thank you! Schedule: I’m a teacher who will be home for summer break so as long as my calendar is open on Rover, I am available! Full availability: June 19-August 16th. Experience: I have experience with small to large dogs, special diets, giving medication, post-surgery care, cats, and more. I treat all animals as if they were my own and will go above and beyond to make sure their needs are met. If your dog needs company on a walk, my pup is also extremely docile and has been known to calm nervous dogs or puppies when strolling around the city. Let's get strolling! ** Boarding requests: meet & greets required prior to overnight stays to ensure your dog is comfortable with my dog & cat, who are both docile, well-adjusted to other dogs. Thank you! Since I am home reliably at 4:30 each day, I am typically always available to help out for others who may get stuck late at the office, work happy hour runs late, need to run errands, or get dinner with a friend, any time between 5-10pm :) I am very cognizant of leash manners and appropriate opportunities to socialize dogs when on walks. For home check-in's, I'm willing to feed and provide any enrichment activities for your pups to make sure they are busy and/or relaxed while they wait for you to come home!
“Kelly is great. Colby loves her even on our meet and greet. She constantly sent me pictures to show me how Colby is doing and how much fun he is having. I am sure he is missing her and her nice yard right now (plus all the squirrels he can chase or bark at) 😆.”
“Rose is FANTASTIC! A loving, fun and calm spirit! Pippy was so very happy and content staying with her and Zeus! I would rebook in a minute and often! We found a gem amongst rocks! 🤗”
“We could not have asked for a better family to take care of Camden! They were so communicative and sent photos and videos multiple times a day. Camden got a ton of outside time and loved being with their dogs. Highly recommend and definitely will use again!”
“Great service, quick responses, and very friendly. My dog Taco loved her and she sent me plenty of pictures of him during his stay. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”
“I can’t say enough good things! We felt so good knowing our dog, Ollie, was being loved and cared for by Katherin for the 4 days we were away. She followed our instructions perfectly and provided daily updates with pictures so not only did we know what he was doing but we got to see him enjoying his time too. Katherin made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Ollie was safe and happy too. She was also very responsive and flexible both before and during the stay. Ollie came home healthy and happy and he can’t wait to stay with Katherin again!”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“Brendan has a deep kindness and a calmness which he extends to pets and people alike. My Edna gets the best of care and I get the assurance that she is secure and comfy. Also regular pics and updates. Would rate five x five stars!”
“Haydenn was super responsive and wonderful with our 10 year old dog, Fern. We had to make a change in our plans at the last minute, and he was very accommodating. We would definitely use him again in the future!”
“Michael was phenomenal as he took care of Sammy, my beagle. He was friendly and communicative and Sammy enjoyed staying with him. I highly recommend Michael.”
“Christine was so fantastic. She boarded my baby girl for a week. Christine was very flexible and consistently sent me updates and photos of Dolly. Dolly also takes daily medication, and I truly appreciate the extra effort from Christine. Dolly clearly had a lovely time. I'm so happy she got a chance to hang out with other dogs and be at Christine's welcoming and wonderful home!”
“Luna had a great time! She came back happy and content and I felt at ease knowing that she was well cared for. Stephanie was great to send pictures and keep in touch while Luna was with her.”
“Dennis loved his time with the family and Larry the dog was the most gracious host! We got daily update photos and will definitely look to book again in the future. BIG FANS!”
“Colleen and her family took wonderful care of my dog. She is a very trustworthy and conscientious dog mom. I appreciate that her home has a fenced yard. She also was able to administer daily high drops to my senior dog. I received updates and photos. Thank you Colleen and family!”
“Austin & Majid were great Rovers for Hercules. They were very communicative and ensured Hercules was well looked after. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Armanush was wonderful. She was very responsive and provided plenty of updates and pictures of the dogs. My flight was delayed and she was accommodating of a later pickup time which was much appreciated. Thank you!”
Bethesda pet parents share their Rover experiences
Adam and Megan took great care of our dog! They were so communicative and sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates. Our flight was delayed and they were so flexible and patient! Our dog gets very sad when we leave and he looked incredibly happy the whole weekend with Megan and Adam!
Dami took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. When my cat threw up unexpectedly, Dami called me right away to let me know and make sure I was informed about how she was doing. Dami is attentive, responsible, and clearly cares deeply about the animals she looks after. I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in her care, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet. I would absolutely book with Dami again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker.
Robin took great care of Charley. He usually takes a few minutes to warm up to strangers, but with Robin and her son Zach he was immediately comfortable and his friendly self, for which I was grateful. Robin was communicative throughout Charley’s stay, sharing photos and videos periodically. I’d leave Charley with Robin again without hesitation.
Michele was so loving and wonderful with our dog a five-year-old sheep doodle. He is very attached and I could tell she made him feel very comfortable and safe. We got pictures and felt good the whole time while he was away. We will definitely use Michele again!
Lee Ann and her family were great. They treated Simi like she was part of the family and she had so much fun with them! I was afraid Simi wouldn’t want to come home with me! We did a meet and greet before our stay to allay my concerns about leaving our pup with a stranger.Lee Ann followed all of my instructions and provided daily updates with photos. Lee Ann and her family will always be our Rover of choice
Robin was great! We had a good meet and greet to prepare Lenny for his stay. Robin communicated proactively and sent us lots of great pictures of his stay. She has a wonderful home for dogs, and Lenny couldn’t get enough of her beautiful backyard! We would love for Lenny to stay with Robin again.
With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!
