“Samara was great with my furbabies! They get very hyper and excited when they meet new people and handle them very well. I know they’re in good hands when I’m not around.”
About: Since growing up at a young age, I’ve always had a pet by my side and now that I love daily unconditionally. If there is one thing I can teach them is to get along with others animals as well as people. My patience and understanding will keep them thriving and healthy. I only want to give them more than they need. I am available 5 days of the week to care for your pet, including the weekend if needed! After all, someone has to be there for them. No pet under my supervision has ever been in harms way. I have a big cage with food and water. Pet toys, cleaning supplies, and pet proof items to keep them safe.
“Tameka and her daughter Maddy, were one of the best hosts that we have had. Zeeba was a little nervous but they were patient and let warm up to them. Tameka helped me Out when I needed to be resting instead of walking. Zeeba got lots of treats and pets. We will use them again”
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, especially dogs and, more recently, cats! Growing up, I couldn’t have a pet of my own, so I found joy in caring for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family members. Whether it was feeding them, bathing them, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, spending time with animals has always been a grounding and joyful learning experience. That same love for animals has led me to pursue another childhood dream: learning to horseback ride! A few years ago, I was lucky enough to have a feisty black German Shepherd named Zurro by my side. He gave me the opportunity to learn firsthand what it means to raise a puppy with love, patience, and proper guidance. I know how much our furry and furless friends mean to us, and I understand how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I’m observant, adaptable, and intentional in my care. I’m happy to meet each pet where they are, whether that means going on a long walk, enjoying an energetic play session, or providing a little extra company and cuddles. I’m committed to honoring your pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether you need a walking buddy for your pup, drop-in visits for your pets, or someone to house-sit and keep them company, I’d love to give your best friend the care and attention they deserve!
About: As a woman In her 40s, in addition to growing up with a German Shepard/Husky mix, I’ve had years of experience with dogs. In 2019, My daughter & I added a new addition to our family which is known as Our Chihuahua Mellow 🎀! With that being said, I have experience with pups ranging in Age, Breed & Size. I work part-time , so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’d prefer any bookings with atleast a 2-3 day notice so I can adjust my schedule and take care of your fur babies to the best of my abilities! 🐶 I have a Fenced in backyard that allows the dogs to play on a Safe & confined space. I also have a large crate if needed.
About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.
About: I’m very dedicated to learning pet breed personalities and learning about your unique furry friend through intuitive care and patience. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking, with activities tailored to each pet’s personality, age, and needs. Walks can include plenty of exercise and opportunities to explore, while drop-ins and sitting visits can include playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m currently working part-time. My schedule allows for flexibility with my time, which will be dedicated to any and all pet care needs. I have a safe smoke-free space where your pet can help themselves to run, play, and rest on a nice soft bed. A home away from home. I can’t wait to meet them!
“Kalani is wonderful! She is reliable, communicative and great with our pups. She is really wonderful with our higher-maintenance dog who is a runner and quite a barker. She is patient with him and takes great care to make sure he’s safe and secure. Best of all, we never have to worry about our pups on the days she’s scheduled to walk them. We’re so grateful! Thank you, Kalani!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was 13 and have trained them myself, and if you ask any body in my family they would probably tell you that they are spoiled. I have also helped family members take care of puppies and kittens; helping with feedings, cleaning, potty training, etc. So, that they could find forever homes. I am currently a freshman in college and my class load is fairly easy and flexible giving me ample time to focus on your pet. I am a stickler for rules and following instructions, so however you want me to look after your pet and the boundaries set; I will follow exactly how you want as the pet owner.

About: Spanish Teacher home on weekends wanting to have a fun adventure with your pup! I've owned a dog/dogs for the last 18 years and am one of those that stops to talk to every dog I see, or let them sniff my hand. I have no problems catering to dietary or physical needs l, and am very understanding about almost any circumstances. I have a lot of free time on my hands for the next 3 months and would like to fill my schedule with hanging out with your dog, and would not mind helping them get an extra wag, bark, or run in everyday. So please let me know if you would like someone fun and cool to hang out with your dog. I work as a high school teacher so I am available on nights and weekends, I am able to make exceptions depending ln the circumstances. I care for anyone else’s pet as if they were a member of my own immediate family, ad well ad nuance and individuality (everyone has their own nuances and specific needs).
About: I've been a pet owner for over ten years for both dogs and cats. I used to work at a Montessori school for dogs, as a behavioral specialist at an animal shelter, and as a Attendant at a doggy daycare, so I have taken courses from both the Victoria Stilwell Academy and the Karen Pryor Academy and have some experience with animal training. I am familiar with many temperaments and how to properly approach a new friend. While I am still working towards certification, I’d be happy to positively reinforce good habits as well as teach your animal a fun trick or two (this extends to cats as well)! I work full-time and my schedule is decided on a weekly basis, so my availability isn’t something set in stone. I am transitioning to a new job though, so I will soon be generally available on weekends and evenings. At your home, I'm comfortable with pets of all temperaments. I can keep up with dogs who want to play all day, or I can chill and provide cuddles to the softer, gentler pups. Some pets are content watching from a distance, and I can do that as well. At my dog school job, we had a detailed system of categorizing different "play styles", and at my shelter job, I often taught interested adopters how to properly introduce themselves to a possible new family member. I hope to incorporate that into my work with your beloved pet so we can better understand one another.
About: I have plenty of pet experience! I say pet because I have had cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, and even turtles! I wish I could watch them all but I can only watch a cat or dog :) I will care for them as my own & can fully trust me to take care of your love bug! I work from home so I have plenty of time on my hands! I can even work from my phone if I need to take them out on a walk around the neighborhood. I live in a safe neighborhood with a lot of animals around! I live in a full apartment with a lot of space and lighting for your love bug to be comfortable as they want to be!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - District Heights
Tameka and her daughter Maddy, were one of the best hosts that we have had. Zeeba was a little nervous but they were patient and let warm up to them. Tameka helped me Out when I needed to be resting instead of walking. Zeeba got lots of treats and pets. We will use them again
Cayla was the best! She was timely, professional, and so kind and loving to my Bodie. Bodie can have a lot of energy and be a puller on walks, but she was patient with him and made sure to take long walks to get all of his energy out. I will definitely continue to book with her in the future. Thanks Cayla!
Bria continues to be amazing! She’s always reliable, takes great care of Luna, and goes above and beyond. During this visit, Luna wasn’t feeling well and had a couple of accidents. Bria took the time to clean everything up and make sure everything was taken care of, even though she didn’t have to. I really appreciate the extra care and attention she gives every time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate dog walker!
Clarice did a wonderful job with Roscoe. He connected with her easily on the meet and greet, where she asked and learned about his quirks and personality. She accepted a somewhat last-minute request, and she treated him well! Highly recommend her and hope to use her services again in the future!
Alysha has been walking my dog for a few weeks now and she does a wonderful job! She's very attentive to my baby's needs and always communicates clearly & quickly. She has been super dependable. It's such a relief to have someone I can rely on to take care of my girl while I'm at work!
