“We were out for two weeks over the holidays and had Yashelle sit for us in our home. She took great care of our two large dogs and our cat, keeping us in the loop and following our pets’ routines. It gave us great peace of mind as this was our first time using Rover. Yashelle was great, we recommend.”

We give a full quality workout to your dog because of the benefits we get with your dog too. This means your dog will get 30 to 60 minutes of exercise per walk, guaranteed. my husband is available in the mornings up until 2 while I can take over in the late afternoon and evenings during the week and both are available on weekends. being a MCPS teacher I also can work during holidays as well. I can be there overnights during the weekends keep ing a close eye on your pet's needs giving time for walks and undivided attention.
“Mabelyn was great for an weekend stay with our pets in our home! She kept in touch with us the whole time to let us know that the animals were doing well, and no issues seemed to come up! The cats and the dog seemed to enjoy her company. We'll definitely use her services again!”
“We had an excellent experience with Nicole, who cared for our two dogs for nine days. Our dogs can be challenging, particularly on walks (they are highly reactive), and she handled them well. She was attentive to their needs and clearly took their safety and well-being seriously. Communication throughout the stay was clear and timely, and it was evident that she was genuinely invested in providing high-quality care. We returned home to dogs who were happy, healthy, and well cared for. We would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Felicia was great! Sent me lots of pics, left my home spotless, and my pups were happy when I got back. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely use her again!”
“We had Julia house sit and she was great, with good communication and she showed up on time. Our lab Apollo loved her right away. Will be booking again next time we need a sitter! Thanks Julia!”
“Antoinette was exceptional! We recently learned that our dog has a heart condition and we were worried to leave him alone for the weekend. Antoinette communicated with us very regularly, giving updates on when he ate, took his medication and what he was up to throughout the day. She genuinely seemed to care about him, even though they had just met. She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving him in her care and she left our home in immaculate condition. I highly recommend Antoinette to anyone looking for pet care; we absolutely would book again.”
“Arissa stepped in at the last minute to look after my dog, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She showed genuine interest in understanding my dog's quirks and behavior to ensure a positive stay. Thanks to her attentive care, my dog had a wonderful time. Arissa maintained excellent communication by sharing frequent updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care!”
“Relle is wonderful! We’ve booked with her before and are never disappointed! She always leaves our pets happy and healthy, the place clean too. She’s so sweet to our babies and we can always tell they love having her! They both adore her! 10/10 would always recommend! Hope to see you again soon, Relle 😊”
“Taje was so amazing caring for our three dogs for a week. She sent daily pictures and communicated as much or as little as we wanted every day. We had special circumstances where one dog had to be consistently separated from another, and she handled that special situation with professionalism and expertise. Our house was cleaner than we left it (amazing considering how much our dog sheds!), and we had not one worry while we were away. We plan to use Taje again anytime we leave our house in the future!!”
“Fabiola is incredible and went above and beyond when taking care of our boy. Despite the weather for the weekend she was booked for, she went out of her way to find ways to stimulate our pup and tiring him out. She sends pictures and keeps you in the loop throughout the entire time! We definitely felt at ease with her taking care of our boy Thor. The best EVER! Be sure to book with her?”
About: Se habla espańol 🇵🇪 I had the pleasure of taking care of a little Shihtzu named Giselle for nearly 7 years and now have a gray tabby named Chicho 🤩 I have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and all energies which has given me the opportunity to learn the different kinds of care both of them need. I understand the importance of making sure animals are fulfilled within their limits and I’m happy to provide that for them! **Please note House-Sitting/Overnight requests are simply just for overnight care for your pet. 8PM-8AM care and includes (1) PM OR AM walk. Any additional day time services will be extra (see pricing).** All Day Care is $80 and includes 3 walks/visits and overnight care. Additional pets $20 extra. Thank you for understanding and please message me with any questions 😊 I work full time as a dental surgical assistant for an oral surgeon 8AM to 4PM on weekdays. After then and all day weekends I’m available to take care of your little ones! My Chicho roams freely in his home and outside as well (with some supervision). He gets along with other animals after some time to get to know each other but overall he’s friendly.

Heli was a wonderful petsitter and was very communicative throughout our time away. She took great care of all of our pets and was very thoughtful and considerate of our home. We highly recommend her for anyone who has several pets that all require special consideration!
Nicole loves cats and you can tell. She gave Mr. Bingley sweet care and attention. She was very good about sending pictures and videos to let me know he was doing well while I was away. There was a stressful situation with the petsitter before her, and Nicole handled it all with grace, professionalism and assurance to me that all was well. That was greatly appreciated. Thanks very much Nicole for taking such good care of Mr. B.
Relle is wonderful! We’ve booked with her before and are never disappointed! She always leaves our pets happy and healthy, the place clean too. She’s so sweet to our babies and we can always tell they love having her! They both adore her! 10/10 would always recommend! Hope to see you again soon, Relle 😊
Loved Melina, her personality from the time of the meet and greet, I knew my dogs would be in great hands. I can tell from my pet's energy that they were very happy. She walked them and I couldn't have appreciated that gesture even more. I would definitely book her again.
Excellent first-time experience! Mary was amazing with our golden doodle during our first time leaving him at home. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. When he was anxious at first, she was patient and caring, helping to coax him through it with lots of love and attention. Throughout our trip, she sent plenty of pictures and updates so we always knew exactly what kind of day he was having and how he was doing. It was clear she genuinely cared about his wellbeing, and we came home to a happy, well-loved pup. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our first time away. Highly recommend!
I have to thank Collin for his patience and willingness to watch my furry duo. He managed to somehow feed my poor dogs using sorcery and sheer willpower to scrounge whatever I had left after my dog’s food was stolen from my doorstep. My dogs also adore and trust him so he gets 100/10. Thank you so much, Collin!
We have only amazing things to say about Savannah! She was so flexible and worked with us when our schedule got supremely messed up! She took great care of our two geriatric dogs and our house. She also went above and beyond with communication and so many other things we asked of her! Rave review, Savannah!! Thank you!!
Jeanette is always so great with my Eli! Even though he misses me when I'm away, he feels safe and secure with her. Her warmth and nurturing personality shine right through! Jeanette's an awesome pet sitter and I always feel comfortable leaving her in my home so that Eli can stay home and in his daily routine. It makes going away on vacation less guilt inducing. Of course as pet parents we will ALWAYS feel guilty for leaving our fur babies behind, but when you have a competent sitter like Jeanette, it makes things a little easier! 🥰
