About: Animals have been a lifelong passion of mine. With over 14 years of hands-on pet care experience, two degrees in Animal Science, and fostering rescue dogs, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, shy rescues, and dogs with special medical or behavioral needs. As a manager in an animal care environment, attention to detail, safety, and animal welfare are at the center of everything I do. Whether your pet needs a comfortable place to stay, daily exercise, medication administration, or extra patience and reassurance while you’re away, I will care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, low-stress environment where both pets and owners feel confident and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide attentive, hands-on care throughout the day. Because I keep my boarding services small and personalized, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a pet-friendly home and years of experience caring for dogs through fostering, rescue work, and my educational background in animal science. I carefully introduce dogs, monitor interactions, follow feeding and medication instructions, and can accommodate crate-trained dogs. I keep a low number of boarders at a time to ensure every dog receives individualized attention, exercise, and a stress-free environment.
About: I have had pets my whole life and have taken care of family and friends animals. I helped train both of the dogs that I currently have and take care of. I work part time as a waitress so I can help on my days off or before and after I work. I can stop by or take your pets for a longer walk. I have a fenced in back yard and there is no food out, both of my dogs are very friendly and play well with others.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 15. My family has always had pets and I have house sitted for many families when they were away on vacation etc. I love all dogs! I have a very flexible schedule and it varies daily! I am available any time of day. I live with my 2 dogs at home (Earl and Carson). I am nursing school and have a 12 year old who loves dogs as well! I have always been a lover of dogs. Their safety is very important to me. I know the importance of exercise for dogs and would love to help!
“Booked Randy at the last minute due to previously scheduled sitter cancelling. Randy was very attentive to Finley & Stella and was very prompt in all communication. Would 100% recommend and book again.”
About: Currently the "sister" to a six year old Cavapoo dog whom I have pet sat multiple times in my home for my parents. I have helped walk my neighbor's rescue dog (who has anxiety, but seems to get along well with me). I was a regular cat sitter for a family friend (responsibilities included twice daily feeding, cleaning of the litter box, and making sure he was let in and out of the house). I truly believe our pets are furry family members who deserve all the love and personal care, so rest assured your fluffy (or fuzzy) friend will be in good hands with me! I am a recent college graduate with a flexible schedule. In addition to my experience with dogs and cats, I also owned a Betta fish who lived for four years. I am responsible for the care of the family dog when my parents are out of town. This includes everything from walking and feeding to playtime and couch nap supervision (which he loves). I lovingly refer to him as my four-legged baby brother and treat him accordingly! (Not currently offering boarding.)
“Simba completed his first week of walking with Tim, and he is loving it! Tim is very friendly and always on time. He gives us regular and plenty of updates about the walk- the route, potty/pee-pee breaks, and of course many photos of our fuzzball on the walk <3 Simba is very comfortable walking with Tim, and I can tell that he looks forward to his walks with him already.”
“Bella is so great with our dog, Mimi! She’s communicative with us and patient with our elderly dog. We love working with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a dogsitter!”
About: I am an elementary school teacher. So, caregiving, patience, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am and what I value. I won’t just watch your pet, I will love each furry friend like it’s my own. I love being active, nurturing others (including 4 legged friends), I’m very organized and punctual, and just helping is my passion. My Weekly Availability 🐾 I offer flexible daytime and evening care throughout the week and do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine! Monday: Midday (12:00 PM – 2:30 PM) & evening (after 5:30 PM) Tuesday: Open availability with a short afternoon break (2:30 PM – 5:30 PM) Wednesday: Unavailable Thursday: Morning through early afternoon (until 3:00 PM) Friday: Limited availability upon request I tend to book up quickly between nannying, especially for recurring walks and visits, so feel free to reach out to reserve your spot—I’m always happy to work with your schedule when I can! I do not have pets at my own apartment, but at my parents house we have 4 dogs that I have loved and cared for for years! Dogs are such a comfort to me, so in return I always aim to create the most loving, comforting, safe environment for each pet I encounter.
About: I became a cat mom in 2019, and have since spent time volunteering at a cat shelter and a farm (taking care of kittens, piglets and goats!). I’ve always been drawn to animals and will take great care of your pets! I have a flexible schedule, and generally available both weekends and weekdays for a set period of time. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your needs! My preference is to take of pets in my client’s home, since I have a cat that does not get along easily with other animals. Depending on the duration of the pet-sitting, I can do day trips or overnights.
“Christopher is clearly a dog person and it shows. My dog couldn’t be more excited to see him. He showed up rain or shine and went above and beyond for exercise and play time with him while I was away. Would definitely recommend.”
“Nora was amazing. My animals are so receptive to her. She took extra time to make sure we were comfortable, took pictures, and cared for my animals like they are her own. 10 out of 10 I would reach out to Nora again.”

I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and currently care for my own pets, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animal. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet like my own. I also have experience with senior pets, administering medication, and following routines and schedules. You can expect consistent updates and photos, dependable, on-time care, and a safe environment. I’m currently a graduate student with a generally flexible schedule. While I have some weekly commitments, I do my best to accommodate pet care needs and can often adjust my availability when needed. I’m especially available for evenings, weekends, and will have increased flexibility during the summer months! I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet. I ensure pets are fed, hydrated, exercised, and given plenty of attention and companionship. I also closely monitor their behavior and well-being to make sure they feel secure and cared for at all times.

“Max was so great with Wicket! I really appreciate her taking the time to get to know him, and make sure he got a good play session in the middle of the day, especially since he’s so used to having someone home with him all day.”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fort Washington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Washington. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
