About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. From ages 10 to 18, I lived in a home with multiple pets, including dogs, cats, and birds of all ages. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, playing, administering medication, and providing daily care to ensure they were happy and healthy. Today, I have my own dog, Loki, who has been part of my family for the past three years. I believe pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same compassion, patience, and love that I give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, caring, and dependable experience so you can have peace of mind while your furry family member is in my care. I'm available weekdays from 9 AM–9 PM and weekends from 10 AM–8 PM. Since I have a dog at home, I provide attentive care in your pet's familiar environment. I provide respectful, loving care in your pet's familiar environment, following their routine and treating them with the same attention and compassion I give my own dog. I am very comfortable with taking them on walks within your residential area.

“Kiara was am amazing dog-sitter for my crotchety old pup. She went above and beyond expectations, giving him lots of love and attention. She also worked hard to clean up after him and keep his area comfortable. We will definitely be hiring her again!”

“Sam took such great care of Peaches and Latke! It was so nice to know they were in good hands while we were away. We definitely hope to be able to book with Sam again in the future! Thank you so so very much!”

“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!”

“Jessica gives excellent service. She is committed, respectful, flexible with her schedule if possible, and tends to one’s needs. Most importantly, she loves pets and that really made me feel good while I was gone. I’ll definitely book her again if she’s available. I recommend her to anyone in this area looking for some help with their pets :)”

“We have a newly adopted rescue and he is just learning the ropes. Really appreciate Johnathan’s patience and also the very calm vibes he brings to our kiddo. Amazed at how calm Slinky is walking with him (like, calmer than when I walk with him!!!).”

“Gracie saved us with a drop-in visit on Christmas Eve. She was kind to my over excited and lonely dog. Even took her on walks out in the bitter cold. Five out of five gold star service!”


About: I’ve always had pets and have been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family for years. My professional career offers me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-ins, and in-home sitting—including working remotely from your home when Wi-Fi is available. I love helping pets stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, where they can maintain their normal routine while their family is away. It gives both pets and their people a little extra peace of mind knowing they’re safe, comfortable, loved, and waiting for you to come home. 🐾❤️ My professional government career offers a flexible hybrid schedule. I’m available for evening and weekend walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and on telework days I can work from your home with Wi-Fi—giving your pet extra companionship throughout the day. On office days, I can provide care before and after work. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and always respect your home and privacy. On walks, I stay attentive to surroundings, weather, other animals, and your pet’s comfort and energy level. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. I had a Poodle for 17 years and know he is resting in peace. Since last year, I have been walking with a Vizsla, super friendly and jealous of his ball. I love animals, and I feel better when I'm with them. When I'm taking care of them, they are taking care of me too. I'm currently working part-time in retail, so my schedule is super flexible during weekends and business days. Considering that, I would love to have time with your puppy, take care of them and keep them safe. Most of my experience has been taking care of puppies in their homes, so they do not feel weird in a new place. Letting them into a place that they already know helps them feel more comfortable. But I'm open to having them at my apartment too. I live close to amazing parks to walk them.

“She was consistent, friendly and punctual. I came back to very happy cats and a clean space. She communicated proactively and in detail about my cats well-being through my trip and gave me a great sense of ease while I was travelling. I will 100% be booking with her again!”

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!

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.

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.
