About: I’ve grown up caring for animals and have had 2 cats for 10 years and 2 dogs for the past 4 years (in separate homes). I have experience with dog walking, dog sitting, and cat care, including feeding, playtime, while their owners are away. I am very comfortable handling different personalities from energetic dogs to independent cats. I am responsible and will treat your pet like my own while following any instructions you provide. I am also very active, so I enjoy keeping dogs engaged and getting them the exercise they need! I am currently still in school, so I am only available on weekends at any time. After this month, I will have more flexibility and be available any day of the week. I have a fenced yard and two friendly Labrador mix dogs. I make sure pets are always supervised, safe, and comfortable, and I focus on keeping a calm and secure environment based on their needs.
“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!”

“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!”

“Thank you for taking care of our puppy. Great detailed visit. Pictures and everything we asked for our puppy’s needs was accomplished and more! Will call again, we are regulars now!”

About: I’ve had over 10 years of hands on experience caring for my own dog, including providing special care for her in her later years.

“Jhonathan stepped in with in-house visits when our house sitter bailed out early. He came by twice a day and stayed for around an hour each time. One time he stayed for hour and half!! He was a real lifesaver and we were comfortable when he took over and was great to communicate with. Will be using him again next time we need a sitter.”
“Jennifer was wonderful! She was great with making sure my cats were diligently visited, fed, and received lots of play time. She sent photos for every visit and even came over to meet my cats before I left so they recognized her and felt safe. Highly recommend.”

About: When I’m not teaching in the classroom I LOVE taking care of fur-babies! My journey with pets have been life long and I have been around dogs specifically since the age of 2. I have taken care of my family dog since the year of 2015 and housed many rescue dogs during the summers of 2018 and 2019. I am currently on summer break until August 28th, 2023. I have open availability and can be on call if needed. I am open to dog walking, pet sitting, and/or pet check ins. I currently live in the fort Washington area. My yard has an electrical fence that your fur baby is free to roam around in. There is also a deck in the backyard for your fur baby to catch some cool sun-smiles! :)
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 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!
About: I am well equipped to deal with different types of dogs as I have been surrounded by them my whole life. Especially older dogs with more attentive needs as my dog was 16 years old. I also take the time to get to know your animals and how they behave. When pet sitting I always think of different ways to keep your dog busy and active recently i house sat for a family member who had a dog and we went on long adventurous walks around Washington D.C and also took rides to different stores . Another piece I left with her dog was teaching him how to be a little calmer because he’s a quite hyper dog and she was very pleased with his new skills when she came back .
“Brenna and Binx are in good hands when she stops by to see them and she’s got great availability. She actively updates you and communicates frequently if you need to know anything.”

“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 :)”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Washington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
To find sitters in Fort Washington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
