About: I have 4 years of experience as a reliable and caring dog walker, providing daily walks, exercise, and companionship for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I prioritize each pet’s safety, well-being, and routine, and have built strong relationships with both pets and their owners through consistent, trustworthy care. I am a recent grad school graduate and I am available to walk your dog when it fits your schedule. I have a flexible schedule to help walk, watch and care for your dog but I am mainly available during the weekdays. I care for the dogs I watch as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I follow their individual routines, including feeding, walking, and any special instructions from their owners. I provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, and I always monitor their behavior to ensure they're happy and healthy. Whether it’s a quick walk or extended pet-sitting, I aim to create a stress-free experience for both the dogs and their owners.

About: Since I was a kid I have been surrounded by animals: cats, dogs, parrots, turtles, hamsters… I have lots of experience with many animals and find joy in caring for them. I moved to DC recently and I truly miss having pets. I’m hoping Rover will help me to spend some time with little cuties. Moreover, I work remotely and I love to be outside, my schedule is flexible. I am available weekday mornings, evenings, short periods during the day and weekends. I love to spend time playing with and getting to know new pets. I am reliable and will feed, walk, clean up and look after your family members. I have cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, and birds so my experience is extensive. I am able to adjust to your needs whether they involve endless zoomies or midday naps.

“Bergit is our go-to sitter. She was our first sitter for our puppy and we could tell that she gave him so much love! Bergit is always very friendly, respectful, and flexible with scheduling and would sit our puppy everyday of the week. She was also very observant and communicated with us if she had any concerns. 10/10 would recommend her anyday! ?”


“Grace and Cody are caring and thoughtful sitters! My sweet Oliver is a needy boy and they have worked well with us to help Oliver be comfortable in their home. And toast is adorable! :)”


“Maddison (and Lincoln) are a wonderful team and Leia had the BEST TIME EVER! She’s still exhausted from playing all day with her new friends!”


“My dog Brittany was a little hesitant for me to leave, but Laura made her so comfortable and sent me pictures of her during play time, napping, and overall making herself at home! We will definitely be back.”

I am available just let me know when I can help I am the only one who lives in my house and the only person with the a key. I take care of/ dog sit my friends dogs all the time and will take care of your dogs as if they are my fur babies

About: I've taken care of many different kinds of dogs over the years. My top priority is your pet's safety. I'm observant of common distractions for dogs and have found good walk routes in my neighborhood that will keep your dog feeling safe and calm. What I've learned over the years is that each pet is unique and that it's important to understand each pets individual needs to be able to get them what they need. I can meet dogs at their level when it comes to their play/attention needs. My current schedule has the flexibility to make sure your pet gets plenty of long walks and exercise which can be challenging especially in these winter months. I hope I'm able to meet you and your pet's needs!
