“Melissa took such great care of my cats during her drop in visits while I was on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and videos and even spent more time with them than required. You can tell she really loves what she does. I highly recommend her and will return to her in the future!”
“Thank you, Randy, for being available to take care of Jenny on such short notice! She enjoyed meeting you. I felt at ease knowing that you would look after her. Until the next time! Juan.”
About: I like to observe the different personalities and traits displayed in their daily activities. Observing their behaviors to what they like and don't like and spend time giving attention to them. I'm working part-time right now at the moment but my schedule is flexible and definitely will fit in my daily routine which is greatly appreciated. I make space for the pet roam around, have lots of food and treats, walk them frequently, give them rubs and hugs, watch TV with them, give their space when needed and make sure that the house stays clean and safe by putting certain items up out of reach ensures that they don't chew or swallow objects that can be harmful to them.

So I know more about animal health than most - I know land mammals best, but am very familiar with marine vertebrates as well. I have also worked in the Emergency Room for over 8 years.

My primary residence is my DC apartment in Shaw that is one bedroom with no personal pets, and several dog parks within 5min walking distance. I also have a house in Ft Washington MD that sits on approximately 1 acre, with a large fenced in back yard. But I have a family dog that lives there along with my parents.
“Elizabeth took great care of my cats. She fed and cleaned litter boxes daily. According to the cats, she gave out treats and pets as they demanded. I definitely recommend her for cat sitting!”
“Shannon was great. This was my first time arranging care for my cat Milo, but Shannon's experience showed when she knew all the things to consider so that his needs were met. During my trip she provided updates and photos and I knew she was being conscientious and spending quality time with him during the drop in visits. Milo was well cared for. Shannon was also very responsive to all my questions prior, during, and after the service.”
About: I always loved pets growing up and would cat sit for friends nearby. I was living with my sister when we got a German Shephard puppy. I lived with her until she was 2.5 years old. So I have a lot of experience with high- energy intelligent dogs. I know quite a bit of training but don’t have any formal certifications. Love visiting with her and friends pets as well,❤️ Thank you for considering me! I am working full time (M-F 9-5) but am a morning person so I'm happy to stop by before work or in the evening. My weekends are also open. I will care for your home and pets like my own and leave it better than I found it. I also am excited to find new parks or trails to walk depending on what is near your home.
About: I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life and understand their need for exercise, attention, and consistency. I enjoy making sure every dog feels happy and safe. Pet sitting fits well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care. I’m a student and work full time so I am usually available evenings, weekends. I follow thr guidelines set out by the family and would never hesitate to reach out to the family if I had questions. My goal is to do things almost exactly like the owners would if they were home so the pets are at peace!
“Kriss was incredibly responsive, communicative, and reliable. In fact, we thought she was one of the most reliable people we have worked with after years of using Rover. Check-ins were on time, and she used the Rover Score Card for everything. Our kitties loved her. Thank you, Kriss!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m active and enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping higher-energy dogs engaged, but I’m just as comfortable providing a calm environment for older or lower-energy dogs. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic commands, routines, and good behavior with younger dogs. My goal is to follow the routine you’ve established and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I currently work week days from about 830 to 330 and off weekends. I often work from home if needed. I am very flexible with coordinating care. I have a fenced yard that is great for your pets to play. My house is very open and spacious and very pet friendly. I am very flexible depending on your pets needs.
“Amy took great care of our cats while we were out of town. It was very reassuring to get updates after each visit. We came home to happy cats. We would definitely book Amy in the future.”
“Hannah went above and beyond caring for Milton and my home! Milton has diabetes and requires special care, including injections and everything else he needs right on schedule. She handled his care with incredible attentiveness, compassion, and reliability. She was also super responsive, and thoughtful about keeping me updated. I came home to a clean home, and it was clear how much care and attention she put into every detail. She was an absolute pleasure to communicate with, and I will definitely be booking her again. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Dahlya did a great job of making my cat comfortable during a 3 night house sit. I came back to a clean apartment and happy cat. So far the best my cat has done with any sitter. She’s typically very shy. Would highly recommend, and I already booked for the next trip!”
“Sherry was a wonderful sitter for my two kitties! She was very kind and interactive with my cats- a true animal lover! I am a crazy, over-the-top cat mama and felt so comfortable leaving my spoiled, very playful girls in her care. She followed their care instructions perfectly and went above and beyond in staying longer to play with them and sending tons of great pictures! They both looked so comfortable, happy, and playful and I am so grateful! I will reach out to Sherry anytime I need a sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Fiona was perfect for watching our cat this long weekend. She was very communicative and easy to get along with, to us and, more importantly, our cat. Thanks for caring for Beans while we were out of town!”
About: I’ve worked many professional jobs that have allowed me the opportunity to work with cats and dogs from all ranges of breeds and ages. I have my own dog as well as 5 household cats! I love the joy pets bring into our lives and I enjoy caring for them. I’m flexible with most schedules and can incorporate them into my schedule. As long as I know of any changes ahead of time, I will always try my best to meet your needs. I respect others’ homes with the upmost regard and strictly follow instructions given i.e., “walk dog, ensure they have clean water, feed kibble” etc. Any specifics can be discussed and mutually agreed upon.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Heights
I’m so grateful I found Melissa on Rover! My original sitter ended up going out of town, so I needed someone to take care of Iggy while I was away. She was incredibly helpful and made the whole process so easy, especially as someone who is new to Rover! She was amazing about sending pictures, videos, and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Iggy is normally super shy and loves to hide, but he was SO happy and welcoming with Melissa, which made me feel even better knowing he was in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter!
Caitlyn stopped in every day to check on Harper while we were on a long trip, following my long list of written instructions perfectly. I felt much less guilty about leaving knowing she was well cared for. Her dishes were kept clean, she got play sessions and clean water, and she got lots of attention.
