Pet Sitting Friendship Heights

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have 18 years of hands-on experience caring for them with patience, love, and responsibility. I’m naturally empathetic and compassionate toward animals, and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not new to caring for dogs. I have experience with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and understanding each dog’s unique personality, habits, and needs. Having a senior pup of my own, I’m especially attentive to the patience, comfort, and extra care that older dogs may need. I’ll treat your pup with the same kindness, attention, and respect I’ve always given my own dogs. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive, and loving environment while keeping you updated so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I work from home and am available most days, making it easy for me to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship whenever needed. I do have an online class from 1 PM to 3 PM, but I am still home and able to work around that schedule. Outside of that time, my availability is very open, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. I have a comfortable, pet-friendly apartment where your dog can feel safe and relaxed. I’m available throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and any specific care instructions. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed and make sure your pup has a calm and loving environment during their stay.

About: I bring a lifetime of diverse animal experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with a rescue dog—and even a pet duck—which taught me early how to adapt to different personalities and needs. Today I share my home with Halo, my black rescue cat, and Grover, my rescue Yorkie, both of whom remind me daily how important patience and trust are. I also cared for Daisy, my special‑needs yellow lab, and understand the gentle routines senior pets require. And with Teddie, my Coton de Tulear from a prestigious lineage, I’m familiar with breed‑specific care and structured environments. Whether your pet is a rescue, a senior, a purebred, or a quirky little character, I meet them exactly where they are and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. As a writer who works from home, I have a naturally flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. My routine is calm, predictable, and easy to adjust around your pet’s needs—whether that means midday walks, morning check‑ins, or evening visits. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide steady, reliable care and keep your pet’s day running smoothly and stress‑free. I provide pet care exclusively through walks and drop‑in visits, which means your pet stays in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. During each visit, I follow your routines closely—feeding, fresh water, medication, enrichment, and any specific instructions you share. I keep a calm, reassuring presence, make sure doors are locked, and always double‑check your pet’s safety before leaving. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal rhythm while giving them attentive, reliable care and keeping your home secure.

“Kayla was great with Milo! Very trustworthy and responsive.”

“Daria did a wonderful job with our kittens, as always! This is the second time she’s cared for them, and we’ll definitely be asking her back again. Our kittens absolutely adore her. She does an amazing job keeping up with their high energy and makes sure they get plenty of playtime. She’s a reliable, attentive pet sitter who truly goes above and beyond.”

“Had an excellent experience with Sun - very reliable and kept me posted throughout and proactively checked in with questions. What is more, she clearly knows how cats "tick" - glad I found her !”

Caroline G.

“Tara is so attentive and kind - my dog has ongoing issues with his paw and allergies and I was so grateful to know that she kept a close eye on him while I had to be away.”

“Sunny had another wonderful week with Evan. Her energy level can swing from energetic to lazy within a few seconds and Evan can quickly tailor the afternoon walk depending on her mood. And he always makes sure that Sunny feels well rested and cared before finishing his check-in. I can see it so well from the pictures he takes of her 😂”

About: I have grown up surrounded by pets my whole life, and have been lucky enough to have 5 dogs. Since I was little, I have helped to walk, feed, play with, and train my dogs. I currently have 2 senior dogs, Coco and Mara, and am one of their primary caretakers. Both were adopted off the street and I have had Coco since she was a puppy. I am so excited to get to know your lovely pets as well! I just graduated high school and am currently home for the summer, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available all day as well as on weekends, both for a quick walk/drop in, or a longer stay. Your pet's safety and happiness is always my top priority, so I do my best to accomodate all of their preferences including going specific places they like, giving them time to sniff, etc.

Chelsea T.

“Thank you! Words can’t begin to describe how much I appreciate you going above and beyond with Mimosa - from checking an extra time to making sure he couldn’t chew anything. I especially appreciate you being so flexible when our travel plans got delayed and you needed to keep the keys longer than planned. You are excellent and I can’t wait to book with you again because I know you’ll provide Mimosa with the best care.”
