About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. Animals naturally feel calm around me, and I treat every pet like my own with plenty of play, walks, and affection. I currently work part-time during weekdays and am available for drop-ins and walks around 1 PM in D.C., as well as evenings and nights during weekdays and weekends. Let’s communicate and I’ll do everything in my power to make it work for you and your pet! I treat every pet like family. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and relaxed. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for, and I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away.
About: Have taken care of and LOVED any household pet you can think of. I am comfortable with dogs of any size, cats, rabbits, gerbils, lizards etc. Right now I am a mother of two very adorable bunnies, and two very active cats. I have a lot of love to give, and would be delighted to share it with your fur baby. I'm big on communication, so I am happy to send you daily update pictures of your pet while you are away. I have experience working with animals who have medication and/or mobility needs. One of my favorite things when pet-sitting is taking cat-naps or hanging out with your furbaby if they're just feeling lonely and need some additional attention. Happy to love on your pet and make them feel happy and comfortable while you are away. I am typically free after 3pm monday thursday friday. Then after 4pm on tuesday and thursday. My weekends are fairly flexible. Just send me a message and we can chat schedules! Safety of your pet will be top priority. I understand that every pet is different and will follow owners guidance on what works best for them and their pet. If you have a pet that needs to be crated during the day, I will follow the care as directed. Furthermore, if you have a pet that is free roam during the day I will ensure that the environment is safe for them to roam without harm or injury.

About: I’ve always been around animals—I currently have a dog and three cats, so I’m used to daily care, feeding, and handling different personalities. I’ve also helped take care of my mom’s and brother’s pets over the years, so I’m comfortable stepping into someone else’s routine and making sure their animals are taken care of the right way.

My schedule is pretty consistent, so I can plan around your pet’s needs. I’m available most days and can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on what’s needed.

I treat other people’s pets the same way I treat my own. I pay attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free. I have experience with multiple animals at once, including my own dog and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I keep a clean, safe environment and can follow any specific instructions you have, including crating if needed.
“Danika did great walking Spunky. She kept a brisk pace to keep my dog active but she also stopped to let Spunky sniff and smell things.

“Heather was Great!!! She was always on schedule and communicated well. She was very attentive and understanding when my pup had a stomach bug while we were on vacation. I would 100% recommend Heather to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter.”
“Ryan has been such a huge blessing. We walk our neighbor's dog regularly but since I was traveling for two weeks, we asked our neighbor if we could hire a dog walker for that time. Ryan not only managed a big strong dog but willingly accepted the dog's owner walking with him. She has some medical challenges that make it hard for her to walk her dog but she still wants the exercise. He was always early as well as patient, kind and respectful. We will definitely use him again.”

Ryan bailed us out recently when our overnight sitter was unable to walk our dog for a couple of days. He worked us into his schedule and took Rory for runs which keeps his puppy energy in check. We were so thankful he could pinch-hit and we could continue our vacation. Ryan is competent and trustworthy and we highly recommend him!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Gibson Island. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
