About: I was a longtime dog sitter for some neighbors of mine, and I have also had my own dogs. I have grown up around dogs and have loved pets my entire life! I love the variety of dogs, whether that be their breed, age, or temperament. I love going on walks, thoroughly enjoy playtime, and feel comfortable meeting new pooches! I am currently a full time student here at the University of Maryland, however I like to think of myself as a strong multitasker and student. I am positive I will be able to serve you and your pet needs outside of my class hours. Additionally, I am more than willing to be flexible, and I have found much success in extracurricular activities so far this semester, proving my academic load to be more than manageable. I have a dog of my own with my family back home in Frederick, Maryland. This obviously includes waking up and letting little Bob outside in the morning and throughout the day, and we enjoy going on walks together, and Bob is a very active dog who loves play. He enjoys being chased throughout the house or tossing a ball outside and he even has his own funny, unorthodox sessions of play where Bob enjoys being spoken to or chased without toys. I typically take care of feeding Bob, giving him water, and making him comfortable. I want to meet a dog’s needs, and provide them with a positive experience!
About: Hello! My name is Mia and my experience with animals even from a young age I’ve always loved them. Im also an animal science major so besides my experience with companion animals I have experience with farm animals. I also work at a doggy daycare throughout my breaks and summer time so 40 hours a week im constantly around doggies! I’m currently taking classes at university of Maryland college park but usually afternoons mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends I’m totally and would love the opportunity to house sit or walk dogs! The way in which I would make sure your pet is taken care of either in my home or yours would definitely consist of taking them on a walking, feeding depending on what you have for them and the correct amount, possibly rewarding good behavior etc.

“Big thanks to Gregg for helping Lucy get some exercise in and going above and beyond our scheduled walks. It was such a relief knowing our pup was being well taken care of.”

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.

“Gabrielle was very responsive and they were accommodating of my wanting an initial meet/greet introduction. They let me know when they arrived and again when wrapped up the walk; gGreat service. Thank you!”

“Alexander is wonderful! My dog Peppermint loves her and is excited to see her whenever she sees her. Alexander is caring and flexible! I can’t say enough about how amazing she is with Peppermint!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes since I was seven, providing walks, baths, playtime, feedings, and basic training sessions. My deep compassion and commitment to animals’ well-being sets me apart. I tailor my care to each pup’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether offering patience to a nervous dog, engaging an energetic pup, or providing comfort to a senior pet, I always prioritize their safety and happiness. I understand how important trust is for pet parents, so I treat every dog as if they were my own—with love, kindness, and reliability. I prioritize trust, comfort, and, most importantly, safety when caring for pets. I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously and pay close attention to the little details that help each animal feel secure and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable rather than forcing interaction. I carefully follow household and care instructions and make sure their environment stays clean and secure. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I want every pet in my care to genuinely enjoy their time with me. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, ensuring they feel secure and at ease in my care. For boarding, dogs will have access to designated sleeping areas equipped with ample blankets, stuffed toys, fresh water, and a nighttime treat to help them settle in comfortably. They will also enjoy designated play areas both indoors and outdoors, along with access to nature trails for scheduled walks. There are also dedicated areas for sunbathing and shaded spots for relaxation. For daycare, all amenities are available except for a nighttime sleeping area, ensuring a stimulating and enriching experience throughout the day. Dogs will have space for exercise, play, nap time, and entertainment, with a designated bath area available in case of emergencies. I am located near a quiet, hidden park and a dog park, allowing for safe and enjoyable outings. Additionally, my setup provides enough space to prevent overcrowding, ensuring each dog receives individualized attention and care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 7 years, caring for dogs of all sizes. As a college student, I’m reliable, flexible, attentive, and committed to excellent care. Hi, I’m currently on break from school and available every day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care, exercise, companionship, and updates daily! I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort by following each pet’s needs closely, providing supervision, exercise, affection, and regular updates for owners daily. Ask any questions!
“Lilla is very nice and reliable! My dog loves her so much. She is great at doing what we need specifically and her reports after visiting are awesome. Thank you, Lilla!”

About: Hi! I'm Coralie, you can call me Coral! I'm a high-energy, fun-loving women's health advocate, yoga teacher, and most importantly, a pet sitter to furry friends across the DC metro area and beyond. As a cat mom of two purrfect girls, lifelong cat owner and rover pet sitter for 3+ years - I understand pets are our family, which is why I love to connect with pet parents prior to offering support to learn more about your pet's needs. When booking with me I can guarantee lots of photos, updates and personalized attention to your pets as desired, whether cuddles, play, or both! ** Additional notes: I am experienced with dogs and cats of all temperaments, breeds, ages, and medical conditions. I can administer oral medication. I particularly enjoy working with households that have multiple cats. For dogs, I am happy to care for small to large sizes. I am not able to accept giant breeds at this time. At this time, I am happy to offer flexible scheduling options for new and returning pet parents for all of my services: house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits. I have availability 6–7 days a week, from early morning to late evening! **Meet and Greets: For safety, security, and your pet's comfort, a meet and greet is required for all bookings. The easiest option is a video call, but if you would prefer an in-person meet and greet, a booking is required. For dog walking and house sitting, I strongly encourage an in-person meet and greet to ensure I am the best support option for your pet! **Cancellations and Modifications: If a service has already been confirmed and is 3 days or less away, I do not accept cancellations or modifications outside of emergencies. This means you will be charged for the full service you initially booked, regardless of changing circumstances. Delight is in the details! As your pet/house sitter, I chat with every pet parent to get the scoop on what's needed from me. While I am self-sufficient and can work with minimal details, I encourage families to share as much as they can about the intricacies of their pets' behaviors, personalities, and even house rules or quirks to be aware of. This way, everyone's comfortable and satisfied, and all responsibilities get done so we can all have a delightful time. **Additional notes: I do have a personal vehicle to transport pets in the case of any emergency.
About: Many of my friends often trust me with their dogs and cats which gives me a variety of experiences with many different ages and breeds I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I enjoy having them around the house with me. My house is currently pet free so your animal will of course have free roam of the house and plenty of space to roam around freely.

About: Hi! I'm a vet tech student and frequent foster parent for anything from kittens to reptiles and bunnies. I've had experience with many different dog breeds since I was young and handle walking large dogs well. Actively looking for walks, sittings, and check ins! I treat any client as if they were my own pet! Boardings are context dependent since I have two cats! I’m currently in school full time but my courses are online and self paced so I create my own schedule! Available anytime (early morning and late night walks included) I have a fenced patio and live near a park with a long trail. I have two cats (fixed male and female), they’ll pretty much ignore any small dogs but they are easily spooked by big dogs. I can adhere to any feeding schedule, if your dog needs to be crated I can accommodate that.
“Meghan is always on time and polite! We are continuously training our rescue pitbull and she provides feedback on his progress and respects our training demands. Would recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Since then, my experience has only grown. I’ve cared for my boyfriend’s dogs (a Silver Lab and two German Shepherds), my best friend’s two beagles, and my cousin’s nine cats whenever they travel. I’m also a pet owner myself, a Malshi puppy. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them as such. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love building trust with every animal I care for. You can feel confident knowing your pets will be loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a third-year physical therapy student and would love the opportunity to care for your pet. I’m available any day throughout December during my school break. After December, my availability will be weekends only. I’m responsible, attentive, and committed to providing safe, loving care—so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I follow all instructions carefully to ensure each pet owner’s expectations are met. Whether it’s following a detailed care list (home setup, daily routines, etc.), maintaining cleanliness, adhering to scheduled feedings, or following specific walking distances and preferred routes, I make sure every detail is handled with care and consistency.

Micaela was amazing and she is the sweetest! I messaged her very early in the morning to walk my dog Kato and she was at my apartment within 2 hours! Her responsiveness and communication throughout the entire booking was exceptional! My baby absolutely loved her, not to mention he was exhausted after their walks! Thank you Micaela, I will be booking again!

Alexander was very quick to respond. Enjoyed our meet and greet. Our dog loved him and his wife right away! He is very detailed with information about his outing/walks with our dog with pictures and a trail map of his route. I would use him again without a problem!

Astrid adores my pup and the feeling is very mutual.I tI booked a last minute Saturday dog walk so my pJack wouldn't be home alone all day while I entertained of town guests. Astrid came by walked Jack and refilled his kibble.She knows the exact spots on Jacks neck and behind his ears to scratch so he just loves Astrid after only a few short weeks. She is very responsive and everything we could ever want in a dog walker. Highly recommend!.

Maria has been just exceptional! She’s been walking my boy regularly for the last few weeks and she really puts her heart into looking after him. It was too hot to take him out for a full 1/2 hour so she spent the remainder of the time playing with and petting him. She’s also been great at letting me know how he’s been during the day. I’d highly recommend her!

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
