About: My family and I are avid dog lovers! I’ve been around pups as well as various other pets from a baby. I actively took care of my mini-pinscher pup DeeOgie in middle school and countless others in high school! I currently have one pup (Maltipoo) named Bella and she is 9 wonderful years old! I love her sooo much! Bella also has a wonderful group of “girlfriends” whom she hangs with (shout out to Resha, Sadie and Koko!). Bella also has a best friend fur cousin (my brothers dog) named Peanut! Hopefully you will let me love your pup as much as I love them! I work at home M-F and freelance photography on some weekends. I will be able to dedicate all of my time to your pup. If I am unavailable for long periods on any specific date, it will be blocked out of my calendar and unavailable for booking. I only board 1 pup at a time with the exception of multiple pups from the same family that require boarding. My pup Bella is mild mannered, and very chill. I have a fenced in yard that is locked and accessible from the glass door. In my home, there will be a dedicated crate if needed, pups are free to roam around on the main level where all the action is!
“Mandy was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and cat, was very communicative, and made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care! I would definitely recommend Mandy to anyone!”


About: Hi there! I’m Gabriel, and I’m excited to be your pet’s next favorite human while you’re away. For over 4 years, I’ve provided dedicated pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—from high-energy pups who need long, active walks to sweet senior dogs who just want a quiet lap, and independent cats who need their routines kept just right. I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and peace of mind. When your pet is in my care, you can expect regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels, as well as cats. I will make sure to follow your exact care instructions, feeding schedules, and medication routines to keep your pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. You’ll get plenty of daily photo updates and quick responses so you can keep your peace of mind. I’ll also be sure to match your pet’s energy level, whether they need an energetic run or a gentle stroll! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet. Pet care fits right into my schedule! I’m currently making a career transition and will soon be working part-time, which leaves me with plenty of open time and flexibility. On days I work, my shifts will typically be from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, leaving me fully available for early mornings, evenings, and overnight care. During my open hours, your pup can get my undivided attention, plenty of exercise, and dedicated cozy time! When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, calm, and comfortable. I stick strictly to your established feeding times, walk schedules, and house rules. During visits or house sits, I make sure your pet receives plenty of active play, cozy companionship, and undivided attention. I also respect your home, keeping everything clean and tidy while giving you full peace of mind with regular photo updates and clear communication.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was in middle school. I first had hermit crabs, then parakeets, and in April 2022 I got my first dog named Luna. I had her since she was about 2 months old so I have a lot of experience with puppies who are going through potty training etc. Luna is fully grown and is about 5lbs. She is a ball of energy and will definitely give your pup a run for their money! I also have another mini poodle named Zeus. Ive had him since about 3 months and he is about 12 lbs. Zeus is very friendly and loving. My aunt also had plenty of dogs and she has relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe her pets! I am definitely reliable when it comes to leaving your dog with me and I will make sure to provide updates throughout the day or night of your fur baby. I’m currently working full time during the week but I will have plenty of time to play with your pups on the weekends! I am available for boarding, house sitting, day care, dog walking, or drop in visits. I live in a house with 2 mini poodles. Luna and Zeus both have a lot of energy and are very friendly dogs. They will play with your dog all day long if they could. While in the house, I can let the fur babies play and entertain each other or crate my dogs to give your fur baby some space. I allow dogs on the furniture so they are free to roam and figure out their new surroundings. If I house sit, I am efficient with checking in on your fur baby, making sure they are okay, and love giving walks. I can stop by for as long as you need on the weekends. Your fur baby will be well taken care of around me!

When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to exercise needs, and ensure they feel safe and loved while their owner is away.

I also keep the home clean, respect the space, and provide regular updates (including pictures) so owners can feel at ease knowing their pet is safe and sound.

About: Hi my name is Rayna; a photographer who loves animals. I’ve had pets all my life, primarily dogs since the age of 7. I also babysit children, so sitting for dogs isn’t much of a stretch. Dropping your pup off with me will be like dropping your pup off at aunties’ for a visit. I've been working with Rover for 7 years. Starting off in my family home, to apartment living. But now I'm back to a having a house with a spacious fenced in yard. In addition to the change of scenery, I no longer will have my loving puppy-brother Lonzo with me on a daily basis. Although your pup won't have another canine companion to play with daily, this allows me to give twice the love and attention to your pup. =) Thank you. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs my entire life. We got our first family dog when I was seven years old, and he passed just a few years ago. Shortly after we got our 2nd family dog, which is our current dog Lonzo. And over the years I have dogsat multiple dogs of family and friends. My experience administering medication I have administered medication to my own dogs in the past; in the form of a pill. If the medication is in pill form or taken by mouth, then yes I am comfortable. I currently work full-time remote, so I'm home most of the day and leave to workout in the evening. I'm also home most of the weekend as well. I have a house with a fenced in, large backyard. Being remote, I have time to take your pup on a walk in the morning and yard time throughout the day.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fort Washington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
