About: Hi! I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years and have had my beagle, Donut, for the past year and have helped my friends with their cats as needed throughout the years. With my hybrid work schedule, I’m very flexible and available throughout the day to meet your pet’s needs. I have hands-on experience working through separation anxiety with my own dog, so I’m especially patient, understanding, and attentive to each pet’s comfort level. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills, if needed. I truly love caring for animals and would be excited to give your furry family member the attention, care, and companionship they deserve ❤️ I’m currently hybrid on Monday, Thursday and Fridays so I’m very flexible on those days. I’m also available on weekends or outside of 9-5 on Tuesday and Wednesday. I live on Capitol Hill and have lots of walkable areas and parks near me for your dog. I also have a very friendly beagle who loves to play with other dogs your pup could hang out with.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up in a multi-dog household where caring for animals was simply part of everyday life. As a teenager, I regularly cared for my neighbors’ dogs, and over the years I’ve gained experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and rescue dogs. One of my proudest experiences was rescuing an aggressive stray dog, nursing her back to health, and helping her become a happy, thriving companion. I’ve also raised a puppy from just 8 weeks old, so I’m comfortable with everything from house training and socialization to maintaining routines and reinforcing good behavior. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust through patience, consistency, and plenty of affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic play, or simply relaxing with someone who cares, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and spending time with them never feels like work. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for a member of your family, and I strive to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I’m currently building my schedule while working multiple jobs, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my highest priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I believe consistency helps pets feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient with shy or anxious animals, attentive to their behavior, and committed to providing a calm, positive environment. I’ll treat both your home and your pets with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of large and small dogs at home for many years. Current owner of a dinosaur/American Bully who weighs 100pounds who grew up living with his sister Chloe who was a 4 pound multipoo. I also had dogs growing up. I’m very experienced and very eager to work with you and your fury family member. I love dogs and I am ready to care for your dog! I will work around anyone's schedule. I am currently studying and available to be flexible and available for new clients. Night or day i can make time. I treat my pets as family, they are cared for like they are my fur babies which they are! When taking care of other peoples fury friends i always treat them as my own.
About: I'm new to professional dog walking and eager to grow my experience. I've regularly walked my grandmother's dog, and I love being outdoors with animals. I'm reliable, patient, and will treat your dog with the same care I'd give my own family's pet. I'm happy to follow your routines and send updates along the way. I'm currently in school pursuing my master's degree. At the moment, I'm available on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM for walks, and I'm available from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon for house sitting. I only provide care at my client's home, not my own, so your pet stays in their familiar environment, which I find reduces stress for most animals. When I'm in your home for walks or house sitting, I follow your established routine for feeding, playtime, and walks as closely as possible. I keep a close eye on your pet's behavior and comfort throughout, make sure doors and gates are secure, and send updates or photos so you can check in. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect and attention I'd want if the roles were reversed.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of a 6 year old Collie. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog, and my goal is to make every pup feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re staying with me. I have experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, including senior dogs, hyper dogs, reactive dogs, and calm ones that just want to be left alone. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to adjust their stay to their normal routine, energy level, and comfort needs. What your dog can expect with me: * A cozy apartment where dogs are treated like family * I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day * A dog park nearby for exercise and playtime (if approved) * Walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention * A dog friendly home. Pups are welcome on the couch * Experience and patience with senior, reactive, energetic, and laid back dogs * A friendly 6 year old Collie to share the home with Whether your pup wants to play, go for walks, lounge on the couch, or just have someone nearby while they nap, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, care, and affection that I give my own. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to care for puppies. Chanel and I have a daily routine of going on long walks three times a day. Chanel is the perfect dog to keep your puppy company! She’s very friendly and loves to play. I treat her as if she’s really my child (LOL) and I would love to do the same for your pup. My neighborhood has a huge dog park but if you’re not comfortable with dog parks, Chanel and I love to go on long walks.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Capitol Heights
Natalie is amazing and went above and beyond at very late notice to make my Dante happy and comfortable while I was away for work. She was flexible with a very rushed meet-and-greet and remained flexible throughout the stay, even as I added another sameday drop-in. She had great treats and toys for him and took tons of pictures. I know he loved the walks and getting outside. I’m very appreciative and grateful for her time and care! Will absolutely be booking again.
They were absolutely amazing. I just moved to the area from Texas and had to travel to Colorado for my niece’s birthday, but couldn’t bring my dog. My usual pet sitter is back in Texas, so I was unexpectedly without pet care. When the dates of my trip changed, they were generous and flexible enough to watch Scooby a little longer. Scooby normally takes a while to warm up to new people and can be particularly hesitant around men, but he bonded with them incredibly quickly. They truly exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful with pets.
Anh was wonderful! My dog has separation anxiety, and Anh truly went above and beyond to help her feel safe and comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and as a first-time Rover user, she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend Anh.
Stephanne is great with my 3 dogs. She can handle taking all 3 of my dogs on walks together, has so much experience with dog behavior, and she’s very attentive to their health and well being. She is incredibly reliable; I have such peace of mind knowing she’s taking care of my dogs.
Ehuniz did an amazing job sitting for my dog Asja! I can pretty much fill out a potential sitter during the Meet and Greet. Ehuniz was very warm and calm which made me quite comfortable (my dog feeds off energy). Ehuniz was very responsive when I made initial contact with here to sit for my dog which was a pretty quick turnaround due to a last minute issues with the person originally scheduled to sit for her. I highly recommend Ehuniz if you are looking for a reliable sitter!
