“Easy to communicate with and simple to book”

“After we had an awful first experience with rover with another Dog Walker, Deborah restored our faith in this service. What an incredible human, let alone dog walker. Consistent, great communication, and our dog adores her. I would go back to her 10 times out of 10!”

“Kristen is wonderful. She is very responsive and accommodating. She takes great care of our Harry and sends the cutest pics during their walks. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be requesting her again!”

About: I’ve cared for cats since I was 8 years old. My friends and family know me for helping wild animals whenever the opportunity arises. I have a senior cat now. As a result, friends often turn to me for tips on how to provide extraordinary quality of life to their pets. I’m about to venture into graduate school, and am seeking a part time job in the meantime. Rover will ideally be additional income for me. I provide stability and routine—two things I find extremely instrumental in pet care. I keep a strict feeding regimen, schedule play times, and provide various opportunity for enrichment.

“Showed up consistently and my dog liked her”

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember, with my favorite being dogs. I have always grown up with a dog in my family home and now I have my own. Bella is a 12-year-old chihuahua/Pug mix. She absolutely adores being around other dogs, especially ones who will chase her and play. Bella is my "old Lady", she is not too high energy, so she also enjoys lounging around being tucked away where she is most warm. So, you would never have to worry about your dog being in an unsafe or overly stimulated environment. In addition, I do have three children in the home who are auspicious dog lovers. My oldest daughters are 16 & 15 and I also have a fearless 6-year-old in the home who love snuggles, tug-a-war and belly rubs. although none of my children have a fear of animals, I am also very vigilant and never leave them unsupervised around any pup who is not ours to keep. Your fur-baby would be loved on every second of the day, well supervised and well-cared for while you are away. My job is to make sure you are worry-free while away from your fur-baby. I will keep in informed throughout the day (should you choose) I will send pictures and give frequent updates. If you are anything like me, then your pet is not just an animal, they are our children, our family and I want you know they are in great hands/paws. I currently work from home. I leave out some mornings around 8:05am and return roughly around 8:15am as my daughter’s school is close to home. My workstation is set up in the living room, so I am always able to keep a keen eye on your dog. My work-from-home position also allows for daily walks, love and attention. I currently reside in a townhome I have a large courtyard where the dogs can run. I am also close by a large dog park where I frequent with Bella. I live in a dog friendly community, so dog walking is welcome.

“Elena is fantastic! Gunner and Izzy both absolutely love her already! I was concerned initially about having a stranger in my house when no one is home but, those feelings quicklys dissolved when I saw how amazing she was, and how quickly they took to her. I would highly recommend her to eveyone!”

About: ~ At a Glance ~ - 10+ Years of Dog Care Experience - Walks, Drop-In Visits & Overnight Stays - Experienced with Oral, Injected, and Topical Meds - Cat and Dog First Aid & CPR Certificate ~ My Experience ~ I am a recently graduated young professional currently working from home. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I began pet sitting for a neighbor in 2014, but I've been responsible for family pet care since I was 8 years old. These duties include: - Feeding - Cuddling and playtime - Walks and potty breaks - Administering medications - Baths, light grooming and hygiene care - Litter box cleaning and litter changes - And more! I have experience administering oral, topical and injected medication. I have experience with special needs animals, puppies and senior dogs. I’ve also completed the Cat and Dog First Aid & CPR course through the American Red Cross in October 2024. In my home are 2 cats and 1 small dog. For the safety and comfort of all animals involved, doggy day care and boarding is unavailable at this time. I appreciate your understanding! My policies are continued below. **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING.** ~ My Policies ~ Drop-In Visits Drop-in visits are typically 30 minutes long, but 60-minute visits are also available. During these visits, cats receive food, water, and a litter scoop, while dogs are fed and walked or let outside to potty. Please specify the duration you prefer and the exact duties you would like me to perform for your pet(s) during this time. House Sitting House sitting services on Rover are billed at a nightly rate. Most clients within a 10-mile radius (10-20 minute drive) request multiple visits throughout the day, along with overnight stays. **However, if you need me to stay in your home full-time (24 hours) without leaving for two or more consecutive days, an additional continuous care fee of $50 per day will apply.** This is because I will be unable to meet with or serve other clients for the duration of your stay. Walks and Potty Breaks Walks are generally 30 minutes, but a 60-minute option is also available. For safety, I can walk a maximum of two dogs at a time. During our meet and greet, please demonstrate how to properly fasten their harnesses and share any commands you use. If your dog tends to pull, especially if they weigh 50 pounds or more, kindly inform me in advance. If you just want me to let your dog into the yard for a potty break, please specify this your booking request and request a drop-in visit instead of a walk. This is because Rover requires a card to be submitted for walks that records the time and distance traveled on the walk--this is inapplicable for potty breaks. Meet & Greets I offer a complimentary meet and greet to every new client, allowing us to get to know each other and to ensure my services align with your pet’s needs. During this visit, we will: - Discuss your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions. - Review home access instructions (entry codes, alarm systems, etc.) - Observe your pet’s behavior and comfort level with my presence. - Confirm the booking rate and answer any remaining questions. Your booking request is reserved for up to 48 hours after the initial meet and greet. If payment is not submitted within this time period, I must archive your request so I remain visible in Rover’s search results. **This means your requested time slot will remain open to other clients.** Please note, I cannot hold reservations without a confirmed booking, as my schedule fills up quickly, particularly around the holidays. Drop-In Test For pets, especially those with special needs, high anxiety, or who have no previous experience with sitters, I offer a drop-in test. The drop-in test is a discounted drop-in visit to see how your pet responds to my presence alone in your home. This test is an assessment of their comfort level, and an early opportunity to evaluate my quality as a pet sitter. If the test is successful, with your approval, we’ll move forward with house-sitting. If your needs differ from the care than I can provide, we won’t proceed with the longer booking. Cancellation Policy Cancellations made within 24 hours of the booking start time are eligible for a full refund. Canceling a stay any time after that will incur Rover’s cancellation fee. ~ My Schedule ~ I am currently working from home, so I am usually available for drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting any time with a minimum notice of 1 day. Please check my calendar for daily updates about my availability. House Sitting Routine Please provide written or typed instructions outlining your pet’s regular feeding times and bathroom schedules. I will adjust my routine to avoid conflicting your pet's trained habits. Trust & Safety Building trust with your pet(s) is essential when entering your home, as animals need time to adjust to unfamiliar people, much like we do. For this reason, I do not confirm bookings with new clients without first scheduling a meet and greet. **If your pet has severe anxiety or has ever bitten anyone, please inform me before we proceed with the booking.** If I observe any unusual behavior during the visit, I will provide pictures or a video and request further instructions. If we cannot resolve the issue or I do not receive a timely response, I may contact Rover support to modify or end the booking. Please ensure that your emergency contact and veterinary information are updated in your profile. Additionally, all animals should be free of fleas and ticks and up-to-date on vaccinations (e.g., rabies, FeLV). For privacy and safety reasons, if you are a first-time client, I kindly ask that all meetings and payments stay within the Rover app. I appreciate your understanding. ~ My Guarantees ~ I will always: - Schedule a free meet & greet to see if I’m a good fit for your pet(s) before booking. - Work with you and adjust my schedule to prioritize the needs of your pet(s). - Operate on a first come, first serve basis. I cannot hold slots through the Rover app, so the first to pay gets the stay! - Respond promptly to your messages and provide regular written updates, along with photos and occasional videos of your pets. - Immediately communicate if I notice any unusual behavior, safety issues, or health concerns. - Ensure your home is left in a better condition than I found it, only access permitted areas, and maintain strict client confidentiality. - Care for and love your pet(s) as if they were my own, making sure everyone eats and gets plenty of attention. - Refund you in full if you cancel within 24-hours of your booking start time.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats. I offer walking, sitting, and overnight stays with lots of love and attention. I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s a walk or a weekend stay, your pet will be safe, happy, and well cared for! I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to plan my days around pet care. This gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and overnight stays throughout the week. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them safe and comfortable. In your home, I respect your space and stick to all care instructions. At my home, pets can enjoy a large yard and a small fenced area for safe outdoor time. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: I grew up with dogs and have had a dog of my own since college. Additionally, I am a former Preschool teacher and feel that working with pets requires a similar personality and disposition - lots of unconditional love, patience & energy! 🙂 I’m home and available most days, which makes me an easy fit for you when it comes to house visits, meal times and dog walks! Our dog enjoys roaming in his tethered zip line outside in our yard and we walk the neighborhood roads and say hi to the pets on the local farm. Unfortunately we are currently not offering pet sitting at our house.

About: I have been raised in an animal loving family with many different pets and I have been taking care of all kinds of animals for years now! I am currently a student athlete at a small d3 school and do classes year long. I am also Enlisted into the Marine Corps Reserves, so I was in need of a part time job for while I am at home and away from college. I can provide treats for pets if they are not provided, I can easily crate dogs if needed. I can take them on long walks and spend as much time with them as needed.

“Kelsey is so patient and very kind.”

About: Until several years ago, I always had several dogs. I treated them like a member of the family and kept them safe and cared for. I am retired and enjoy walking. I don’t have a dog at the moment and miss the enjoyment and exercise that a dog can bring. I live on a large farm in Bealeton. I provide a safe environment where the dogs can run off leash and have fun or go for a nice walk on the leash!

About: I have taken care of very large dogs all the way to small ones. A dog lover my whole life, and miss my sweet pup everyday. I am trusted House/pet sitter and will come and stay, feed, and most importantly play with your pups! Also will come make sure your cat is well taken care of! I work full time, but telework, so as long as I have wifi, I can spend all day with your pet! I also have a flexible work schedule so can come drop in as needed. I will make sure your pet is comfortable in their house, keeping an eye on them (even if in a fenced yard), taking steps to make sure we are all safe and happy!

About: I am a licensed massage therapist but I have a huge passion for animals. I love being a pet sitter because it give me the opportunity to bond with many pets and their owners, enjoying all different personalities. I have a huge love for animals and pets.i am caring and compassionate. I previously worked at a doggy daycare. I have cared for many different types of my own pets, including dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards and fish. I see pets as having a big part in family roles and as part of a family. I hope to take care of your fur babies. I also enjoy photography, baturewalks, kayaking, hula hooping, painting, drawing and art. I look forward to taking care of your pet.

About: I love all animals, I used care for all my friends and family’s dogs and cats including walks, feeding and dog sitting for a week in there house Fits perfectly because right now I don’t have a job and am trying earn some money for bills and would love to work with animals and get paid I don’t care for pet in my own home but friends and families pets either drop by visits to play with them and check water bowl/feed them or dog sitting them overnight

About: We always had cats in the house growing up, but I later learned how much I loved the Doggos as well. My love for animals overpowers my love of anything else. Now that my kids have moved out, my pets are my babies and I will treat everyone’s pets that way. They love unconditionally and I believe we should be the same with them. I may not be able to train your pet, but I can certainly take care of them. I am currently a stay at home dog mom. My pets are my babies and I have one that needs medication throughout the day. My schedule is open daily to allow me to take care of other pets along with my own. Our family had six cats and five dogs at one point in time. Every passing has been extremely tough. We now have three pups. Two Shih Tzu‘s and a dachshund. I have much more space in my heart to take care of other pets as well. My pets are my family and I will treat yours the same.
