About: I have been caring and having a love for animals at all my young life it has taught me everything I need to know on how to handle and show love to cats and dogs! I will love and care for your animals just like I do mine they are my 3rd and 4th furbabies🐶🐱. I occasionally weekend sit for a golden retriever , we go on walks , snuggle and watch movies and play. I do have multiple references as well. I can do weekend sleepovers daily visits and you saying that is needed to keep the family at peace while they are out of town. I have administered vitamins and cbd oil to a few dogs for anxiety, storms etc. Thank you for your time! I do have multiple dog/cat families that I care for.

About: My husband and I grew up loving dogs and, in fact, met through our pups. A real life case of puppy love! I grew up raising labs with my parents and through my work abroad have come to adopt two dogs of my own - Chance from Sudan and Mia from Colombia. My husband , David, studied veterinary medicine in Colombia where he has offers private dog training and runs a successful dog school (Gooddog Colegio Canino Campestre) for nearly 10 years. We hope to open a pet shop in MD soon. In the meantime, we hope to make more furry friends part of our extended family here and to save up for this dream to become a reality. When not focused on our dog business, we are proud parents to our own adopted pups and are always looking to take on more. In the near future we’ll also join Guiding Eyes and train dogs for the blind. We are true believers that pets are part of our families and look to take care of each clients’s pet as if they were our own. With us, you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands with a team that has extensive professional and medical experience working with dogs and, most importantly, is passionate about creating the perfect environment for humans and animals to interact. Let us share our love for animals with your family by becoming part of ours. A little about me personally: I’ve worked for the federal government nearly 15 years and take my responsibilities very seriously. I consider myself detail oriented but flexible. I will always do my best to go the extra mile and keep clients informed of everything through regular texts and photos. I’m also always looking to learn and welcome recommendations on how I can grow. Our home in Hyattsville has a fully fenced in backyard with a doggie door for easy access in and outside. We’re also surrounded by plenty of parks and green spaces and, on the weekends, love to explore new places with our pups and their stay-over friends! I have standard work hours during the week and great flexibility on the weekend. I’m on a hybrid telework schedule so the number of days I go into the office varies by week. I’m happy to try to rework my schedule to adapt to the needs of long term care or repeat clients. Our two pups are very easy going and have never had a problem with any other pets. They love the company and vice versa! Pets are able to roam the bottom floor of the house and fenced backyard freely. We also have crates of all sizes for those who prefer it.
About: I’ve baby sat many pets in my neighborhood growing up, I love spending time with animals of any kind! They make me so happy :) I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician and work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care. I love taking walks at Linear Park and spending time at Bonita Dog Beach with my senior pup. She is extremely friendly and absolutely loves the company of other cats and dogs, so your furry friend will have a welcoming companion during their stay! I’m available for house sitting, boarding in my home, or dog walks—whatever works best for you and your pet. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I live in a pet friendly apartment. There is also a dog park and dog spa on the property! I I can ensure your pet will get plenty of exercise on our walk and there’s plenty of beautiful things to explore!
“Arianna was great with our 3 dogs. They loved her. I got picture updates and a note when I got home updating me on the dogs. We leave music or the TV on for them when we are not home so when we arrived home she had left them watching the dog channel which was so cute. A few days before our Scheduled time with her we asked if she could come earlier then planned. She not only did but arrived early.”
About: I grew up taking care of, owning, and helping raise all kinds of different dogs. Great Danes, puggles, pit bulls, and small dogs like terriers and shitzu’s. I have always been the one friends and family have called to look after their pets while they’re gone. I love them like they’re my own and go above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable when their parents aren’t around! I have had the blessing of being able to work from home Monday, Wednesdays, Thursday’s, and Fridays with weekends off. The only day i am unavailable during the week is Tuesdays! I want to fill my free time with something I love! I have a very large fenced in yard and we do have one dog of our own who is extremely friendly to keep your fur baby company but if you’d feel more comfortable keeping them separate I am easily able to do that as well as he has a dog bed in my daughters room that he loves being in.
“Josh stayed overnight for the week with Kuno. He was very communicative and took great care of both Kuno and the house. Kuno was very happy upon our arrival home. We will definitely rebook with him in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter for their pet.”
About: I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable and attentive, with experience housesitting and dog sitting for friends and family. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities, from playful puppies to older pets who just need some extra patience and comfort. My schedule is very flexible right now, which means I can give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care whenever it’s needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so fitting pet care into my daily routine feels natural and rewarding. I like to stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and safe. I’ll handle feeding, walks, playtime, and of course lots of love and attention. My goal is to make sure they’re happy and relaxed while you’re away.
“Kara saved the day for us. We had a family member set to watch our pets and they fell ill. Very last minute, she was able to swoop in and take on my crew. She did a wonderful job with them! Everything was as it was when we left, if not better! The dogs were well loved and so were our guinea pigs. I’ve had sitters in the past that leave the dogs in their crates for long hours and she never did that. She even stayed later to be sure they didn’t have to be alone long. We already have her booked to use her again in October, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you Kara!”
About: I’ve been raised around animals my whole life, so understanding what makes dogs feel safe, happy, and well-cared for is second nature to me. Instead of basic sitting, I focus on giving pets my full attention through reliable daily walks and safe, stress-free transport. Having spent a lifetime owning and caring for dogs, I treat every animal I work with with the same patience and love I give my own. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including managing and administering daily medications with ease. I work part-time as an aesthetician and nail tech and take my college classes online full-time, which leaves me with a super flexible daily schedule. Since I study from home, I have plenty of time between classes and work shifts to dedicate to pet care. Fitting in regular drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day is really easy for me, so your pet will always get timely, hands-on attention. Growing up with animals my whole life, keeping pets safe and comfortable is just automatic for me. When I’m out on walks or transporting pets, I always double-check harnesses, keep leashes secure, and make sure cats are safely in their carriers. Since I have years of experience giving medications and reading animal body language, I stay super focused on how they’re feeling so nothing catches us off guard. I treat every pet with the same constant care and eye for safety that I’ve always given my own
“Truly 5 stars! Gertie is our bulldog and can be a challenging breed, but Nina was amazing and so special to our little loved one. Gertie misses her for sure! Highly recommend, professional, safe and warm.... never worried about our pup or our home.”
About: All I’ve ever known is having compassion and love for animals! I grew up with all kinds of fur babies including reptiles, critters, cats and my three legged dog Tootie. They are family, so I get how much reassurance means knowing your pet can be checked on during chaotic or busy lives! I’m thankful to have the opportunity to help care for others furry friends! I currently have clients through other work I do and have stayed in house to be with their dog and I really enjoy it! I’m very happy to help! I’m currently working part time and would love nothing more than to fill the extra time with some smiles, excitement and exercise! I’m very active and like to stay busy, so I’m open to same day requests and available Monday-Friday during the mornings/day. Open to some evenings and weekends depending on my schedule at the time! I’m open to variety! Whether that’s cuddling the fur babies, being outside to enjoy the sun and fresh air or needing a quick walk and back to the crate!
About: I recently moved to Fort Myers for work and I’m looking to make some extra money and get outside with your pups! (FYI- my response time is so high bc I was out of the country and didn’t pause my account). I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up in a dog-loving family gave me hands-on experience with daily care, including walking, feeding, playtime, and providing lots of attention and love. I’m comfortable caring for puppies as well as high-energy dogs, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently living at home while in between jobs so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! My weekdays are very open so I have time to stop by to feed and take your dog on long walks. I could also be available for overnight care. I am extremely responsible and aware of the various needs for your dog, and follow instructions carefully. The safety of your pup is my priority!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Buckingham walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Buckingham maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Buckingham choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
