“I am so so grateful to have had A’Gia house/dog sit for me for a long weekend (my first time leaving my fairly new rescue with a rover sitter). At the meet and greet she came on time and was immediately warm towards Luna. She asked good questions about the dogs routine and told me her usual routine when house sitting (which seemed to be primarily focused on the dog and staying at our home rather than only dropping in and sleeping there at the bare minimum which was wonderful). When her stay started, she remembered details about Luna from our M&G two weeks prior and put me at complete ease to leave. During the stay, A’Gia sent multiple pictures throughout the day and kept me updated on my house. Luna was happy when I returned home. I will certainly request A’Gia again. Thank you!”
“Mabelyn took very good care of our pets (dog and cat) and our home over a long weekend. We would not hesitate to ask Mabelyn to pet/house sit for us in the future, and we provide our highest recommendation! The communication was great from initial contact to meet and greet. We could tell from the pics she sent that the pets were well cared for and enjoyed their time with her. We came home to happy pets and a well cared for home, so could not ask for any better than that!”
“We needed a sitter on really short notice and Christyn was available. She sent pics of our dogs showing how they were, our hound took to her immediately. Thank you for taking care of our pups! Definitely recommended!”
“Addie came to our house to dog-sit our 7-month-old puppy while my wife and I took a day trip for some Christmas shopping in Denver. She is very kind, patient, and clearly has a heart for dogs. Our puppy immediately connected with her. Addie is a great choice for dog-sitting. We will use her again.”
“Don was great! Our dog really warmed up to him and he was very quick with responding as well as sending great updates! We will definitely use Don again!”
“Felicia was great! Sent me lots of pics, left my home spotless, and my pups were happy when I got back. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely use her again!”
About: From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of my own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to cats and dogs. I work a hybrid schedule which gives me the ability to be pretty flexible. I am always happy to make adjustments based on needs of my clients Happy to share any information you need privately and adjust care and safety needs based on your little loved ones. It’s important to me that you feel your pet is well cared for. Photos and videos are a must!
“Omar was a house sitter for our dog and cat on relatively short notice due to a sudden death of a close relative. Omar was flexible and communicated very well with us. We greatly appreciated the morning and evening pictures of both pets. Highly recommended and we will be a repeat customer.”
“Mia was wonderful to work with. She was patient and gentle with Arya and communicated to us the whole trip. Our girl doesn't like just anyone and it was clear she was very comfortable with Mia. Additionally, she was flexible to add a other booking last minute for us. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Heidy was a great cat sitter and maintained good communication throughout the stay. I also appreciated all the pictures she sent of my cat. Would recommend!”
“Allison was great to work with. We have an older dog that is very skittish, Allison was calm and gentle and let Luna come to her when she was ready. Both dogs seemed very relaxed and as evidenced by the video Allison sent us had a howling good time. We’re ready to book her for our next trip.”
“Responsive, reliable and great to work with. Our pup loves Ben and even though we are away it’s less stressful that we can count on Ben to be able to watch him and our cat while we are away.”
“Cornell was on time, communicative, and very polite. Our dogs seemed very well adjusted when we returned without much stress so they must have been well cared for.”
About: I have always been surrounded by pets—dogs, cats, birds, and more—which has given me a deep appreciation for animal care. Additionally, I have hands-on experience working in a veterinary setting as a kennel assistant, where I provided grooming services, administered vaccines, and attended to basic pet care needs. I currently work from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM and am based in Rockville, which is about a 20-minute commute from home. Other than that, I'm just home the rest of time so my schedule is very open! I offer pet care services including feedings, walks, administering medication if needed, and additional care such as baths. I'm flexible with scheduling and can either stay at your home or stop by for regular check-ins—whichever works best for you. Please note that I do not offer boarding, as I have cats at home who become easily stressed by unfamiliar animals, with the exception of reptiles.
“Ken is awesome. He watched our pup (Wally) for 3 days and in that time, we got lots of pictures and updates. We feel so thankful that Wally can stay comfortable and taken care of at home while we're away.”
About: i’ve spent a lot of time with animals of all shapes and sizes. i currently have a cockapoo (and two cats) and when he was a puppy i was the first one to train him. every time one of the pets come over i am as accommodating as possible! I also have experience with senior pups and giving medications :) I have a pretty flexible class schedule so i feed my cats and my dog every morning and walk my dog every evening when i get home from work and school. i snuggle with my animals whenever i have the chance to as well. I have passed multiple background checks including the one for rover and i’m a very reliable person! also, my pets are my biggest priority. as wonderful living things, they need lots of love and care. only the best for them.
“Max loved Miranda! She followed all the directions and went above and beyond to care for max.”
About: Looking for a safe and accommodating environment for your pet? Hi I'm James Herbert and as we know hiring a Pet sitter can be a little nerve racking especially if your pet has any medical conditions. In my day care i am more than comfortable taking on any accommodations that your pet may need. I have several years of experience including giving shoots to a diabetic dog, giving dogs there prescriptions at certain times, as well caring for disabled dogs. With that being said all dogs and cats are welcome, from the young spry pets who need lots of play and runs to your elder pets who take things at there own pace. I'm here to adjust to your pets specific needs and make them feel comfortable, as my goal for every pet is to create a second home environment. So whether you need walking or Doggy daycare leave it to me to go above and beyond. If your dog is elder and has a weak Blatter I've got you covered on diapers, if your dog has Cushing's disease or any disorder that requires special care I'm more than happy to accommodate. I Pride myself in keeping a safe, healthy, and playful environment for your pet. Allow me to care for and keep a watchful eye on your beloved pets. Thank you I'm currently enrolled in a vet tech college that's all online and currently I’m only working part time, this leaves plenty of time in my schedule to take care of your pets from early morning afternoon and night ill work around the clock to give your pet the proper care and attention. I have a lot of experience with different pets in different environments including administering medicine through shoots and orally for sick and elder dogs. I have experience with huge yards and very energetic dogs, I love to run around and play with them while also keeping them safe and under control especially if the yard isint fenced. For my environment I have a spacey back yard fenced in with all grass that where my Dog lance loves to run around.
