About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!
“Britney is absolutely wonderful she walked my dog many times and he was always very happy to see her she talked to him and greeted him with a gentle smile he always looks forward sure coming over Britney also took wonderful care of my cats getting them to eat even though they they they didn't want to because they were upset I was gone I hardly recommend her she is prompt and reliable an extremely trustworthy”
“Another excellent job by Melissa taking care of my cat Phoebe. She was flexible with her schedule and managed to accommodate the cat drop in even though she had a packed personal schedule. Will highly recommend her to take care of your cats!”
“She took care of my Kitties last minute, and one of them I adopted a week ago and they weren't quite on hospitable terms yet. She allowed them to interact gently while being ready to separate in case of throwing paws. She also followed special feeding directions for my elderly cat who needs stuff mixed in and her pate in an extra soupy mash.”
“Mona is great! Always sends great pictures of our cat and we can always tell how comfortable our cat is around her by those photos! Leaves the house clean and is so quick to reply to communication! Thank you keeping your prices so affordable Mona and being such a great caretaker! We highly recommend Mona to anyone!”
“Monika was absolutely fantastic! She stepped in on short notice to watch my female German Shepherd for three days, doing drop-in visits in our home, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My dog clearly had an amazing time - she loved her walks and came back happy and relaxed. Monika kept me at ease the entire time by sending regular photos and status updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing my baby was in such caring and trustworthy hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”

Gaithersburg cat parents share their Rover experiences
We liked Jennifer right away when we met her, and she proved to be as conscientious in caring for the cats as she was kind to them. I really appreciate that she followed the directions we left. When we returned, the cats were calm and everything was in its place. We will definitely turn to her again to care for our cats.
Annika was great! This was my first time using a service like Rover and I was very nervous about it, but that was quickly resolved as Annika was professional and gave detailed updates with pictures of my cats each day. One of them who usually takes time to come around warmed up to Annika very quickly. I also appreciated Annika going the extra mile to make sure the cats were comfortable and taken care of.
Dee Dee gave our three kitties great attention while we were away. She asked good questions during our Meet and Greet that showed me how prepared she is as a pet sitter. She gave each cat the special attention and medication they needed. Everything was in great shape when we returned home. I would not hesitate to hesitate to ask Dee Dee to care for our pets again in the future.
Christian was very good with my cat, who is very cautious around new people. He did lots of little thoughtful things like leave treats around the apartment for when she was less stressed. He was also very flexible when my travel plans changed without much warning. He is polite and responsive. You can't find a better sitter for a cat in Rockville or Gaithersburg!
