About: I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors for years! I have taken care of multi-pet homes with both dogs and cats of different sizes and species. I am currently home for the Summer from college so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry friends! I would love to make your pets a part of my routine :) I make sure every pet is cared for in the ways that they need. If they need extra attention, longer walks, or additional food/medication, I am happy to provide it! For quieter animals who just need a quick trip outside and then some alone time, I will be there for them as well.
“Very kind and easy to work with. Even offered to help us with our move. Patty was always happy to see him and get some play time - and she’s usually a very shy cat!”
About: Hello, I'm Kristen and I would love to spoil your dog(s) while you are away! I started Rover dog-sitting after losing my dog of 12 years and it was the best decision. I've watched dogs of all sizes and personalities and enjoy learning what makes them unique. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I get to meet many dogs and learn more about dog behavior. I will treat your dogs like my own and make sure they get plenty of exercise to work off any anxiety from missing you. I'm happy to take care of puppies (if they are potty-trained) and senior dogs (if they are ok with stairs) and provide the extra attention they need. I live in a three-story townhome with a small carpeted basement off the garage, hardwood floor on main level, and carpet in the upstairs bedrooms. I have a small non-fenced yard in the back with a deck (4 stairs to ground). I've attached pictures of all the stairs for anyone with senior dogs. Dogs are free to couch-surf and allowed on the bed here. But I can reinforce whatever the rules are in their home.
About: I have taken care of and trained both senior dogs and puppies, additionally i have 2 dogs of my own, along with 2 cats, a boy and a girl, who have bladder stones and separation anxiety respectively. I can administer pills to all pets along with oral shots and antibiotics. I am available all day everyday, willing to stay over night, can work weekends and holidays, and i am always available. Whenever you need a pet sitter i will have time for your pets! I can play with your pets, feed them, take them for walks and outside whenever necessary, spend lots of time with them so they’re not lonely, and make sure they are happy even when i’m not there. I am good at following clients schedules and specific routines, as some pets won’t eat unless everything goes according to the routine!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old! I love dogs so much and the joy that they bring me is therapeutic. I have a 10 year old spayed dog-ther named Disco! She is great with other dogs and loves company. We would love to host your fur baby. I am at home currently doing freelance so I am available! Your fur baby will be in good care and have lots of fun here. I have a fenced in backyard and a nice neighborhood to walk through. I have 1 spayed female 10 year old terrier mix named Disco who would love to have some friends.
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!
About: As a pet owner myself, of an energetic poodle, I understand the importance of maintaining open communication while your pet is in the care of another person. I work 100% remotely, which allows me the flexibility to cuddle, play, and care for your pet. I have a set schedule for walks but can also accommodate as needed. Pets are not allowed in my bedroom or bathroom in my home but are welcome to the rest of the home. They’ll also have their own room to safely sleep, play or relax.
About: I have cared for my own cats and dogs as well as caring for neighbors' animals since I was 9. I love animals and will always treat them with love, pets, compassion, and treats:) I am currently a senior at Baylor University with lots of flexibility and with a little notice, I would love to be able to help out your pup or cat:) I have a very animal-friendly neighborhood and will always enforce safety measures to keep your animal safe! I live near Baylor University and Cameron Park so I can take your dog on nice walks!
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: I’ve been a furry mom for more than 20 yrs. I’ve owned and trained American Bulldogs and Pitbulls Sadly, I lost my fur baby of 14yrs in 2022. But so glad I started Rover because now I get to love on other dogs in the spirit of my Izze girl 🐶. I love dogs and enjoy spending time with them outdoors on warm days. Your pet will get playtime, love and lots of attention. Guaranteed two 30 min walks for daily (more if required), basic pet training if necessary, meals and of course a warm comfy place to rest at night. I work full time from home so I’m available for mid day walks, evenings and weekends. Dogs are the best!! I have beds, bowls and plenty of toys, Dogs allowed on furniture. I can easily crate your dog if requested however this is a kennel free boarding experience in my home. Recently, I became a dog mom again after recusing and adopting a 1yr old male Shitzu named Noah. Noah is sweet, friendly and loves to play with other dogs. He’s really enjoying his new home and doggie friends 🐶. Currently, I work from home full-time. I have take dogs on long walks at local parks and around the neighborhood. I follow your pets daily routine. I live in a fenced in courtyard, dogs will get at least two 30 minute walks daily. I usually take pets with me shopping or on errands. Your pet will not be left alone for longer than 1 hour if necessary.
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 .

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 .

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.
