“Nicholas is great !!! My dog is not too comfortable with other people walking him, but Nicholas is so patient with him. Seeing how excited my boy gets when it's time to go with Nicholas is everything a dog mom wants !”
“Nicole is amazing! She treated Diesel like he was apart of her family. He went on atleast 30 minute walks which is needed for my dog. If you have dogs that are interested in other animals, Nicole knows how to regain attention from your dog and complete the walk. I will definitely be using Nicole again.”
About: Through previous and most recent positions, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments through pet sitting and dog walking. My responsibilities included feeding, administering basic medications, maintaining exercise schedules, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and providing companionship and enrichment. While I work full-time, I’m available for evening care after 6 PM depending on location, along with flexible availability on my days off for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I provide reliable in-home pet care by maintaining pets’ routines, ensuring they’re fed, exercised, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away.
“Ziggy LOVES hanging out with Michael! He's been able to take him out consistently every day for walks. Michael's very responsive & engaged. Highly recommend.”
“Gordon is absolutely amazing with my lab! He keeps up with her crazy energy and is always willing to work with my constantly changing schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Chase is an AMAZING dog walker. Phebe is always happy and Chase takes the *best* pictures to share! I always know my little pup is safe. Thank you, Chase! So grateful you’ll be able to keep walking Pheebs!”
About: I’m Tracey and I love fur babies! They are the most loyal and sweet pals who truly care about everyone they interact with. I miss having my constant companion, Jasper, since he passed and I’m not currently able to adopt a pup. Providing loving care to the wonderful animals of my community is the perfect way to get my ‘dog fix’ in! What you will love about me is that I’ve been a lifelong pet parent and have been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family members for years. I’m responsible and trustworthy, and aim to create a respectful and friendly relationship between you and your family! I treat others’ fur babies as if they were my own because I know how important they are to their families. Being communicative is also important when watching pups, so I keep you updated with photos and texts so you know what we’re up to while you’re away. I have cared for dogs of every size, breed, and personality and have specific experience with Miniature Schnauzers, as I owned one for over 12 years. I was also a foster mom with Schnauzer Rescue League of the Mid Atlantic. I would be happy to care for any pooch on Rover! I live Hyattsville in a beautiful and spacious home that is completely pet-friendly. All animal visitors are allowed on the furniture with your permission, and can enjoy cuddle sessions on the couch each night. We have a fenced-in backyard where your dog can enjoy safe potty breaks and play time or even sunbathing and nap time! My neighborhood is perfect for pups, too! It’s a mix of townhomes and family homes with lots of children. It’s a very walkable area close to shops and restaurants and a doggie park. I live with my 21 year old son, Timothy, who is a former Rover sitter and would be happy to dole out extra cuddles to your pal. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm tweaking areas around my house, working in my garden, exercising, or volunteering at Meals on Wheels. I love being a stress free as possible and having doggie visitors helps me stay happy and healthy! I can’t wait to meet you.
About: *** Not taking on new clients at this time (as of November 2025)***** I have over 20 years of combined experience caring for both cats and dogs of many different ages, with some specific skills around training reinforcement for dogs. Growing up, I cared for my own cat as well as cats and dogs in the neighborhood. As an adult, I have cared for both cats and dogs and done extended house-sits for clients and friends with cats. I have my own dog, named Billie, who is an 8-year-old german shepherd/lab mix. I love animals of all kinds, and love to get to know animals and help them feel safe, cared for, and joyful/playful. I am an MSW graduate student and working part-time, and have a good deal of flexibility in my schedule. I have availability throughout the day for drop-in visits and walks, and morning/ weekend/ nighttime availability as well. My home has a fenced-in yard and is very safe and comfortable for dogs. I am conscientious and clean when spending time in the homes of clients. I will take great care of your home in addition to your animal companion!
“Gina has been phenomenal with my energetic pup! I didn’t intentionally book with her at the start of the hottest summer on record in DC, but that’s how things worked out. I don’t think she has had a single pleasant weather day since she began walking Remy, yet she has been incredibly professional and mindful of my baby boy’s needs on scorching summer days. And Remy adores her! We are so thankful for you, Gina!”
About: I have been pet-sitting for most of my adult life, am skilled in dog behavior, and focus on keeping my dog guests calm, happy, and comfortable in their new surroundings. Your dog will share a cozy house with a large back yard with an elderly Basset Hound and a sweet cat. I also have a dog treat business so there will always be fresh-baked snacks around! As I have my own needy senior dog, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. The dogs who best fit into my household of older ladies are low to medium dogs over 2 years old who are content with unlimited back yard play and one long walk during the day. I have a large back yard, and I always take my dog and guests for a longer walk each day for stimulation and exercise. Dogs are permitted on furniture and the only rule is that they are respectful of ZsaZsa, the resident feline queen.
About: I’ve had two wonderful dogs since they were 10 weeks old. We’ve completed dog training classes together and I’ve learned all about pet care through them. Im currently working from home and never travel because I have a toddler son and 2 dogs, so im often available on weekends for pet care and during the week for walks I have two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and a large house for plenty of play space. I’m also experienced with picky eating dogs.

About: I’ve owned and cared for cats and dogs my whole life. My own dogs are e collar trained and I understand reactive dogs. Happy to accommodate all needs and medications.

Cottage City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amani provides excellent, dependable, and timely service. She communicates and schedules in advance, and always follows through. My dog knows her well and feels completely comfortable around her. If you’re looking for professionalism, reliability, and genuine kindness toward your pet, I highly recommend her services.
This was my first time using Rover and I was initially a bit nervous about the process. Not anymore- Madison earned my trust immediately after the first walk. She was on time, communicative before and after booking, she shared photos, and she was incredibly flexible throughout. 10/10 would recommend!
We downloaded the Rover app as an alternative to using a kennel because of the high prices, and honestly, we were a bit skeptical at first. But within just a few hours, we connected with Michael — and everything changed. After reading his reviews, we scheduled a meet‑and‑greet to see how our dog would react. Our dog took to him immediately, which made the decision easy. We booked Michael for two walks a day for seven days while we were on vacation and set up a lockbox so he could access our home. Michael was caring, compassionate, and genuinely loving toward our dog. It was clear he went the extra mile every single day. We came home to a happy, well‑cared‑for pup — and we saved a ton compared to boarding. Thank you, Mike. You’re amazing.
