“Dee Dee is awesome! We can always count on her for weekly weekday walks. She always gives great updates and sends pictures during each visit. Happy we came across her profile on Rover!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have mainly taken care of my neighbors' pets, my friends' pets and of course my own. I have pet-sitted for dogs of all sizes, cats and fish. At home I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, 3 ferrets, a crested gecko and a tree frog. I am reliable and punctual. I am caring and kind. I am also flexible and will follow any schedule or instructions. I am a college student at the University of Maryland and most of my classes are 5 days a week from 3 - 7pm. Besides my class schedule I am very flexible. I will follow any instructions that you provide as they are unique to each pet. If taking care of a dog I will never take them out without a leash or fenced in yard. If taking care of a cat I will make sure to keep them inside at all times. If you need me to take care of a small animal I will always make sure they are in their enclosure before I leave. I am very paranoid and will always make sure your pets are safe.
“Lynette is amazing. My dog loves her. She always sends me pictures of my babies while I’m at work. I know they are in good care when she comes to walk them. She will love your furbabies when you are away.”
“Candice was phenomenal! I needed to have the Tevya walked 2x per day for a month and it was amazing to have Candice. She was on time, every time, rain or shine, and even provided a bit of training on their walks. Candice was also very tolerant of my dog's idiosyncrasies. If you are looking for a reliable dog walker, look no further!”

About: Open Availability! • Huge animal lover, I take care of both cats and dogs! I’ve been around dogs for a lot of my life and I love the energy that they bring! I’m currently a cat mom to my 3 year old Milly. I love paying special attention to their specific needs. Having an owner disappear can be overwhelming for a pet, so it’s important to make them feel comfortable and safe when their owners are away. Onboarding services are for cats only. Although I have another cat, I have lots of room in my house with separate bowls and a litter box for her as well as her own treats and toys! If a carrier is needed, I can provide that as well. I’m currently unemployed so my availability to care for your pet is 100% open availability! I can work mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Seeing your pet several times a day is also doable. I do the general tasks such as feed them, clean their waste, play with them, walk them, etc. I pay close attention to a pets needs and wants and respect their boundaries.

Linda N.
“Linda has been apart of my 2 year old English bulldogs life since she was 6 months old. Over the past semester she's been a blessing dog sitting Zoe for me every Monday and Wednesday from noon until 9pm. Linda was both quick to respond and quick to call if something came up or concerned her while Zoe was in her care. Having a very active dog, I am always looking for a dog sitter who will go above and beyond to tire Zoe out. As a student herself, Linda was pleased (at least that's what she told me) to take the burden off of me and play evening fetch with Zoe those nights. My dog really vibes well with Linda and pees a little every time she sees her; a thing she does when she's excited. All in all, great price for a great service. Linda is an awesome person for your pets life.”

“Alex was meant to be a dog dad - some may even say he has Labrador energy. He’s kind, gentle and patient with his dog and is always thinking of ways to spoil him! He will always go the extra mile to take care of his loved ones, and especially when it comes to fur babies. Your pets will love him!”

Robert P.
“I highly recommend Robert as a dog sitter. He is truly one of the most attentive and caring pet caregivers I’ve known. He takes amazing care of his own dog and treats other dogs with the same love and attention. Whether it's sticking to a precise feeding schedule, administering special diets, or making sure every walk happens right on time, he’s incredibly reliable and detail-oriented. He used to watch and walk my dog regularly while I was at work, and she absolutely adored him. I always felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Robert genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and it shows in the way they respond to him — with trust and excitement. If you're looking for someone compassionate and experienced to care for your dog as if they were his own, I can't recommend Robert enough.”
Savannah B.
“Savannah is a very kind and loving person. Savannah also is a kind and loving parent of a Tabi cat named Goose. Goose is a member of the family who is very loved.”
