“Ailani is an excellent pet sitter. She visited my elderly cat for 10 days and took the best care of her. Not only did she follow all care instructions perfectly, she also spent quality time with her and sent several photos every day to give me ease of mind. Ailani is great at reporting on every rover card and goes above and beyond in every way.”
About: Hi I'm Adriana :) I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. I also understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to learn what makes them happiest. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy making time for animals. I can plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are comfortable and supervised. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or their home, I respect their routine, space, and needs while giving them plenty of love and attention.
“Shirel is super dependable and great with my boys! She communicates any changes and is great at following up with anything needed! I receive daily reports and photos of my boys and that eases my mind knowing they were taken care of. Highly recommend her :)”
“Michelle was fantastic! Our shy little guy warmed up to her quickly, which is a miracle unto itself. She kept us updated with wonderfully thorough check-in notes and photos daily.”
“Lillian took exceptional care of my cat (Button). She sent cute daily pictures and even had Button assisting her with her organic history homework :) Lilly was also understanding and flexible when my flight was delayed and I had to pick up my cat later than initially planned. I found my new sitter!!!”
“Kaia was great and would highly recommend! My cat being diabetic is always a worrisome experience especially trusting his medication to someone else but she did a great job of meeting the cats, hanging out with them, gaining their trust and did a great job administering the cats medication. I felt at peace knowing they were in good hands!!”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals as long as I could remember. I understand the care and love that they require, even the personal space they desire. They are sentient beings with very precious souls. I’ve sat with sick dogs and aided them in their times of need. I love playing with dogs as well as being outside to hand out with them. Even as high energy as some may be! Im pretty open in availability. On Mondays and Sundays im available in the morning and afternoon, but not evenings. Every other day, I have open availability for all times. :) I ensure they are supervised, when they’re quiet, something is up!! They are mischevious and keep us on our toes!! I also ensure that everything is hygienic and free of anything that could harm them, especially anything they can get ahold of to eat. I also pay close attention to detail if anything is up.
About: I have 15 years of pet experience ranging from dogs to rodents and bunnies. I have taken care of dogs and have experience with them through their various life stages—from puppy to senior. I am no stranger to administering oral and topical medications for dogs and small animals like rodents. I have 2 years of professional dog walking experience, and I am eager to walk a cat down the sidewalk sometime too. I am a graduate student visiting home for the summer. I’ll be in the Upper Marlboro area from May 20 to August 10th, 2024. Also, for dog walking, my availability is really from 12pm-4pm on the days I highlighted, so it is important you schedule me between that time frame. I will be returning to Florida to complete my degree. I am a rule follower. Before I take on a client I always do a meet and greet to ensure the dog or cat and I are a good fit. Animals can be particular and I avoid perilous situations by meeting the dog to discern whether they like me or not. Once you show me something twice, I never forget it, so providing me with detailed notes on how you want your dog to be walked and situated in your home is ideal.
About: I've had pets since I was born, there has almost always been at least one cat and dog in the house, and taking care of them became my job as soon as I was old enough to do chores. I've been pet sitting professionally since I was 12. I have a family I work with consistently, staying at their house for weeks at a time to care for their two dogs (one young, one senior), bearded dragons, and fish of all sizes. I've also volunteered at farms working with all kinds of animals. I have real experience with high-anxiety and reactive dogs. I lived with two rescued Rhodesian Ridgeback mixes who were majorly reactive and anxious from their previous situation. Since they loved running in the heat, I'd bike alongside one of them on-leash for miles so he could burn off all his energy. I'm a college student with in-person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which leaves the rest of the week open for pet care. I can offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I'm also available for longer stays when needed. Since I only care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible, sticking to their usual feeding schedule, walk times, and any specific instructions from their owner. I always make sure doors and gates are securely closed before and after walks, keep an eye out for hazards around the house, and never leave a pet unsupervised in a way that could put them at risk. For anxious or reactive dogs, I move slowly, read their body language, and give them space to adjust to me being there. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own.
“We love Caitlin! This was our first time using Rover and everything went great! Caitlin was great at communicating with us, especially at the beginning before our first appointment. We did a video visit to go over the details. Caitlin sent lots of cute photos and provided all the details we needed in the report cards. She was very punctual! Our Cat really liked her and I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have been a huge animal lover and caretaker ever since I was a child. I have a multitude of experiences with animals from all walks of life through my own personal pets and volunteering experiences with local rescues. I am currently a foster for a local rescue (Husky Haven) and I have experience with dogs of all ages (from puppy to senior) and have worked on house-training, proper leash manners, crate-training, socializing, and loving the dogs to get them adopted into their forever home. As someone who owns two dogs, I know it can be stressful finding someone to take care of your furry family members. I will do everything I can to give your pets the best care and communicate with you/send loads of pictures so you have an ease of mind! I have a job where I always work evenings, so I am free every day of the week from the morning to the afternoon (6 am-3pm). I also have weekend availability! If you have a fenced-in yard, I will monitor your dog make sure your dog does not escape or get into anything that would harm them. If you do not have a fence, I will make sure the dog is in a secure environment at all times and be careful to harness and leash them before taking them out.
About: I’m a loving cat mom who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient, attentive, reliable, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, walks, feeding, litter box care, and regular photo or video updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is doing well. I’m also a nanny and a house cleaner, which has taught me to be responsible, organized, dependable, respectful of people’s homes, and attentive to the details that matter. I’m comfortable following specific instructions and routines, keeping spaces clean, and caring for pets as if they were my own. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish and have reliable transportation, making it easy for me to provide dependable care. Most importantly, I truly love animals and want every pet in my care to feel happy, safe, and cared for. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I’m planning to dedicate my mornings every day to working with pets. I enjoy starting my mornings by caring for animals, whether that means taking dogs for walks, stopping by for drop-in visits, feeding pets, cleaning litter boxes, or simply giving them some love and attention. My schedule also allows me to be flexible and dependable with pet care, while continuing my work as a nanny and house cleaner later in the day. I’m excited to make caring for pets a consistent part of my everyday routine and provide reliable, loving care for families in my community. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety is always one of my biggest priorities. As a nanny, I’m experienced with being responsible for someone else’s well-being and understand the importance of staying alert, following instructions, and preventing accidents before they happen. I also understand pet-specific safety, especially when it comes to opening doors, gates, and leaving or entering the home, as well as safely walking pets and making sure they cannot escape or get into anything they shouldn’t. I will always follow the owner’s instructions, keep pets supervised, and make sure their home and pets are treated with the same care and respect I would give my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Goldenrod
Jenna was absolutely top notch in every way possible. She exemplifies the highest level of professionalism and care for our cat while ensuring we have a peace of mind while traveling overseas. When our allergic cat pulled off his cone, Jenna tapped into her wealth of knowledge to calmly wrap him up then put his cone back on without causing him any stress. Her level of expertise in caring for cats is impeccable and her dedication toward ensuring our travel was stress-free was deeply appreciated. Jenna has our 100% recommendation- we will absolutely book her services again. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Jenna!
Camryn was amazing!! Camryn was communicative throughout my entire trip and I felt extremely comfortable leaving my girls alone. She took daily pictures and kept me updated as necessary. The entire process from start to finish went smoothly. She took great care of my girls and would love to have her again! I’m so grateful for her and all she did for us. I would absolutely recommend Camryn for your pet needs. Thank you, Camyrn! :)
Jazzlyn is super communicative and responsive, and she took great care of my two kitties, including my high needs senior cat who needed medication twice daily. She fearlessly administered it for him, which is exactly what he needed. She even spent extra time with him so he wouldn’t feel so lonely. I highly recommend!
Jackie did a fantastic job of taking care of our kitties, our house, and our peace-of-mind while we were traveling. It is so comforting to know when your pet sitter arrives, to get an immediate report with loads of photos, and know that everything and everyone is being taken care of. Words cannot adequately express how happy we are with Jackie's service, and we enthusiastically recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting services.
