“Carole did a great job stopping in and letting out our dog. From the moment you meet her you will know she loves dogs and is truly a kind person. She is reliable and punctual. I would recommend 100%. Thank you so much Carole!”
“Karlee was awesome with my dachshund, Kobe, and I felt so reassured knowing he was in good hands when I'm not home. She kept me well-updated about how things were going (very appreciated by an overly protective pet parent :)), and was willing to accommodate whatever was needed. So glad to have found Karlee!”
“I’m so glad we found Allison! She’s amazing with our big boys and we can enjoy our time away knowing that they are in great hands! She even added some ice cubes to their water bowls which they love ❤️. Thank you Allison!”
“Shelby took care of Mickey for a week. She followed his daily routine and kept us posted if there were changes, I.e. not going to potty when it was raining. Mickey gets anxious and sad when we leave, but Mickey was happy and evidently less stressed/anxious when we returned. Thank you Shelby!”
“Wonderful sitter! Took extra care to spend time with our pets to make sure they weren't alone & provided us with updates. We'll absolutely be thrilled to work with Paul again for future trips.”
“Sienna is wonderful and we’ll miss her when she goes back to school. She plays creative games with our pup and we know he is in loving care by her detailed notes and pics.”
“Meghan was awesome. My anxious husky took to her almost immediately. She provided us with detailed updates and pictures for each of her visits and had no problem administering oral medications. Will absolutely have Meghan watch our furbabies in the future.”
“Heather was a godsend!! She pick us up after my other rover sitter canceled at the last minute. She took great care of our puppies and saved our family vacation.”
“Amanda was so great with our kitten! We did a met a greet the day before we left for vacation. She asked great questions & took notes. You can tell she really cares about each animals (and humans) needs while pet sitting. The pictures & visit summary were great. We will definitely be using Amanda again.”
About: We've always had a family dog while I was growing up- a variety of breeds and sizes. The only time I was without a dog was the 4 yrs I was renting an apartment that wouldn't allow them. My family often pet sit for family on vacation and we recently had 2 Rottweilers in our home for 3 months while our friends relocated. We spent many years raising our five kids and now would love to pet sit for other busy pet loving families. We both have flexible work schedules which allow us to be available almost 24/7 for boarding, walks or drop-in pet care! We can fit in any care you need around our schedules. We live in a remote rural area of Germantown on 1.0 acres and have plenty of cozy living space inside. We can take your animals to our house or come to you! Whichever you'd prefer
“Julianna is great! She is responsive and took great care of our puppy during her drop in visit. I appreciated her update during the visit so we could have a great time while out and away from him for the first time. I highly recommend!”
“Jeaneé is the best. We’ve used her several times now. We always get pictures of the adventures they have together, and updates! We know our animals appreciate having her around.”
“Fantastic sitter! She was available on short notice and managed to make it over to walk our dogs despite some things that came up for her personally. Very professional and kept us well informed of what was going on with the pups while she was over. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hello! I’d love to care for your pet! I’ve grown up with larger dogs, and have a 9 year old yellow lab, Moose. She is my fur baby and tends to get spoiled. We are active (walks and dog park visits), as I want your pet to enjoy him/herself. I am a teacher, so my availability is open more so in the summer and holidays. My husband and I do not have any additional children yet, so my schedule can include your pet! I can wash and dry pets, feed them, walk them, brush them, play with them, etc. I house/pet sit for family and friends, and am comfortable around most animals. I’m almost always guilty of asking to pet dogs while doing errands, because that’s just where my heart is. I’d love to give your doggo some love, attention, and fun. I am a teacher, so right now my availablity is just the weekends. However, I am available for longer breaks (holidays and spring!), vacations, and summer. I like to give the pets attention (play or pet them/spend time with them) and keep them engaged and entertained. I like walking and hiking, so taking them for walks or to a park is great!
About: I’m an empathetic, caring, and loving person. I have always had dogs and enjoy seeing them happy and enjoying a loving and fulfilled life. I believe animals are special and are much smarter and intuitive than we give them credit for. I work full time as a social worker during the school year but off during the summer. I am able to provide care on weeknights and weekends and more intensive care in the summer! Our dog recently passed away and we are used to having regular dog care. We have a large, un-fenced yard and great areas for walking!
About: I've owned a dog for ten years at home. I also have taken care of various neighbors' and friends' dogs as they relied on me to walk, feed, and play with the dog. I have boarded a dog for a month last summer. I now care for my own dog in my apartment. I currently have an easy schedule with one class a day where I would not be in the apartment. However, due to having three other roommates there is typically always somebody in my apartment. I have a very friendly dog who would love to play with others but she can also relax in her crate as needed. We have a fenced-in courtyard that dogs can run around in too!
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a small child and have taken care of dogs since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me to walk and look after their pets while away for the day and for extended periods of time. I currently work full-time but have the flexibility to work remote if needed. I am available on the weekends to sit and or walk and play with your pet. I have three friendly dogs that love to play. I am also able to crate your pet if needed. I do not have a fenced in yard however.
