About: I am a dog lover and have been caring for pets for the majority of my life. I have three dogs of my own; two 11-year-olds and one energetic, almost 2 year-old. Caring for dogs and all animals throughout my life has given me experience with both senior dog care and the exercise and attention younger dogs need. I am comfortable and confident in my dog-walking, feeding schedules, playtime, and basic grooming abilities. Most importantly, I always ensure the pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attention-to-detail when it comes to pets, especially senior ones. I love playing with pets, and have fun engaging with high energy dogs. Every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I will treat your pets with the same love, attention, and care as I do with my own. I am currently a college student home for summer break working two part-time jobs. I work at Merriweather Post Pavilion, which has taught me strong customer service, communication, and time-management skills. My other position involves working with neurodivergent children, which has helped me further my skills of patience, responsibility, adaptability, and the importance of understanding individual's unique needs. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. My pet and work experiences have helped me become more dependable, organized, and attentive, which I carry with me to every pet I care for. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, or companionship, I am committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their normal routine, so I make it a point to follow all care instructions closely, whether this is feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, or any special needs. I always keep dogs securely leashed, pay attention to their surroundings, and make sure they have plenty of food, water, and attention. I also understand the importance of trust when entering someone's home. I am always respectful of client's property, keep doors and gates secure, and provide timely updates to owners so they feel confident in their pets safety and well-being. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in responsible hands.

“Kayla has been a wonderful help while I’m recovering from surgery. She is kind and professional, and it is obvious Paddington really enjoys his walk time with her :)”

“Jaeda arrived on time for both the meet and greet and dog walk. She’s personable and took the time to get to know my pup a little better. She asked good questions about her habits and temperament. She was respectful of my home and pup!”

“Angela is great with communicating before, during and after her services. She is excellent with our dogs and always on time. We have been very happy with her.”

Erin M.

“We can't say enough good things about Christina. We were looking for a dog sitter who was not only reliable but would also give our pup plenty of love and attention. Christina exceeded our expectations.”

About: I enjoy jogging and running, and I’d love to help your high energy dog get the exercise they need in a fun, healthy way. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage, from energetic puppies to seniors needing extra patience and support. I’m experienced with administering daily medication and caring for dogs with special needs, like vision loss and hip dysplasia. I’m very active, so I enjoy keeping dogs engaged with walks or runs—and I even trained my own husky to safely pull me on roller skates. I treat every dog like my own, with full attention, consistency, and lots of care. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I already look forward to getting outside after 5:30pm for walks or runs, so having a dog to join me just makes it even better. On weekends, I’m usually active and have more flexibility, which means I can spend extra time on longer walks, drop ins, and giving pets more attention. It doesn’t feel like something I have to squeeze in, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. For walks and drop ins, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, not just the basics and out the door. I’m also mindful of keeping your home tidy and secure while you’re away. Overall, my goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and cared for, and for you to have total peace of mind.

About: As a lifelong dog and cat owner, I’ve cared for pets from puppies and kittens to senior cats and dogs. I have experience administering medications, accommodating special routines, and ensuring pets with medical conditions receive the attentive care they deserve. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to adapt to your pet care needs, including varying hours, weekends, holidays, and short-notice bookings. I am available any day of the week! As a pet owner, I understand that quality care goes beyond meeting basic needs. I strive to create a comfortable, engaging environment where pets feel secure, well cared for, and genuinely enjoy their time while you’re away.

“Keira is an awesome dog walker. She’s been so patient with my 12lb bratty dog. She updates me and I completely trust her to take care of my dog.”

Clariz G.

“Destinee is thoughtful, prompt and diligent about her job. She was able to help me on very short notice and kept me informed in a way I appreciate very much. Most of all, Lilly was happy to see her and that is the thing that counts the most. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: I believe what sets me apart is my combination of professional caregiving experience, extensive dog handling experience, and genuine love for animals. I currently have my own service dog and went through 2+ years of weekly training with her, along with 6+ months of obedience training with two other dogs. Through that experience, I’ve become very comfortable working with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I’m also a registered nurse currently taking a break from nursing to recharge, so providing attentive, compassionate care comes very naturally to me. I’m detail-oriented, patient, calm under pressure, and highly attentive to safety and routines — qualities that are especially helpful with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, or dogs with medical needs. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and secure while their owners are away. I’m not working at the moment, so I have plenty of time to give your babies all the love, attention, and care they deserve! But fair warning — they just might end up loving me too! ;D I understand that leaving your pets in someone else’s care can feel stressful, but you can rest assured they will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. For drop-in visits and walks, I will attend without my own dog present. However, for boarding or daycare services, my service dog, Copper, will be with me. I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment, and pets staying with me will have plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. They are also welcome on the furniture and will be treated like part of the family.

“I highly recommend Vanessa. We had an emergency situation and Vanessa immediately responded to our request for a dog walker and was to our house within 30 minutes. She kindly sent us the most adorable pictures of her with our dog. He clearly enjoyed his time with her. She was a lifesaver and so kind to our dog!!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and love meeting new furbabies. I currently have three cats of my own, 12, 10, and 2 years old. I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and types (lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, sugar gliders, birds, etc.). I am currently home full-time and am available for multiple drop in visits any time of the day, or can have one small dog in my home (if cat friendly) for either boarding or doggy daycare. I am able to administer medications both orally and via syringe if needed. I am also able to provide services like nail clipping for cats. I am currently home full-time and available seven days a week for either boarding, day care, walks, or drop in visits any time of day. Safety is of extreme importance to me. I treat all animals with care as if they were my own. I can accommodate any types of requests to ensure the environment for your pets is up to your standards while you are away.

“Ana was great! The snow didn’t stop her from getting my dog to walk in this frosty weather. She is very responsible, dependable, accommodating and compassionate. (And I don’t say this about everyone on Rover!)”

Debbie B.

“Natasha is very reliable and dependable! She showed up despite other things going on because she is committed to your fur babies! She sticks to her word and is very punctual. She communicates quickly and will meet the needs of your pups. She is very friendly and managed walking my two labs who are full of energy and quite strong! I will be booking with her again in the future. Thank you”

“Susan is wonderful with my dog, Mikey. I am glad I found her.”

Lisa N.

“Laurie is AMAZING!! I was so nervous about letting someone into my apartment and care for my puppy, but as soon as I met Laurie & James I felt at ease. I know that Cooper is in great hands when I leave to go to work. I really appreciate Laurie; she takes the time to leave notes about how Cooper is doing and even takes extra time to train my puppy. Cooper loves his time with Laurie and I’m glad to have found someone to take great care of my puppy. ?”

Tyrenne M.

“Elizabeth took excellent care of Gracie. Very reliable. She communicated with me in regard to both scheduled walks, one feeding and giving Gracie her treats. When I arrived home, Gracie was so full of energy. I think she was trying to tell me of the wonderful day she had with Elizabeth - - her new friend.”

Bev S.

“Jen was absolutely fantastic! As someone who has dog sat before for others, she did everything that I hoped for and more as our dog walker! Her communication was excellent - she even went above and beyond to try other messaging methods since I was out of the country while my dog was staying with my boyfriend. She sent great videos and pictures, so I knew my dog was getting great care and attention :) I would highly recommend Jen’s services to anyone!”
