About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and have been deeply invested in the care of all dogs I’ve owned. Ever since I got my first dog at just 3 years old I knew what it meant to truly care and connect with another animal. While I don’t currently care for dogs professionally I would love to open a rescue shelter one day. Most of my experience is with medium to large dogs and I currently care for my senior Akita mix named Prince. Our pets are our children and I ensure to care for yours as I would, and do, my own. Long or short walks, playing at the park or just chilling at home I’m up for it all and your pet will be in safe hands. I work remotely allowing for me to have a flexible schedule for dog walking, pet sitting, and check ins. I don’t currently have accommodations for more than one dog at my home but am easily able to travel to meet your needs. I come Prepared with poop bags, organic treats, and small toys. I work remotely, making my schedule more flexible during the weekdays for sit-ins, pet sitting, and dog walking. I am also available most weekends for any needed care. Since I am currently caring for my senior dog Prince, the area I live in is equipped for the needs of all dogs. There are two large grassy areas to explore as well as a park just 2 miles away. I carry poop bags with me so I can easily clean up after your pet and keep our community clean. Additionally I am attentive and watchful over all pets in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of several pets since I was young. I had several dogs and cats (sometimes at the same time!). I love walking and playing with dogs, I’ve trained my puppy. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I have also taken care of kittens and adult cats. I have litter trained kittens and played with them often. I currently work full time, but am more than happy to watch your fur baby on my days off! I have days off where I have no plans and would love to spend it with more dogs or with your cat! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.

“This was our 1st experience using Rover and in a brand new city. After meeting Megan & Kirby, we knew we made the perfect choice. They were absolutely great. Even though our electronic looks and camera notified us when they came and went, they still sent us daily updates & photos. All of that was great, but my cats response to them made it such a great experience. She can be a very fussy senior (loves to growl & hiss at sitters). It was the opposite with Megan & Kirby. Obviously she knew they were “pet people”. Anytime I have to go out of town, I’ll be using them! I can’t recommend them enough!”

“I booked Kordell--my first Rover ever--over the Thanksgiving holiday after learning that my usual kennel was booked. He was very responsive, reliable, and took good care of my cat. Kordell put both me and my cat at ease. I will definitely be re-booking him in the future.”

About: Hi, I have had a lot of experience with my own pets, as I have had dogs all of my life, in addition to dog sitting that I have done on the side in previous years. I am such a pet lover and I am really looking forward to this experience, especially since I work 100% remote. Some things that distinguish me from other people is that I am open to learning, so new experiences and situations come easily to me. Secondly, I am extremely caring, especially when it comes to other people's animals, since I understand what its like to leave your pet in the care of somebody else. I am also easy to work with and have no issues communicating through any possible issues. Working 100% remote allows me the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I can take short breaks throughout the day to attend to my dog’s needs, whether it’s a quick walk, some playtime, or feeding. I also make time for longer walks in the morning and late afternoon, which gives both of us a refreshing break and helps my dog stay active. Being remote means I can adapt my schedule to ensure they get the care and attention they need without interrupting my work flow. In my home, I provide pets with a comfortable and spacious environment where they feel right at home. My 3-bedroom house offers plenty of room for pets to explore and relax, and I have a fenced-in backyard that allows for safe, supervised outdoor play. I prioritize creating a nurturing and engaging environment, ensuring pets have ample attention, playtime, and exercise. For walks, feeding, and any specific needs they may have, I tailor my routine to each pet’s preferences. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I keep their routines consistent, providing the same level of personalized care and attention to ensure they feel secure and happy in their familiar environment.

About: I'm 24 and I have been a pet owner for my entire life. I have owned lizards, cats, and dogs. I have raised puppies, kittens, and have handled a wide range of pets. I have big passion for animals and love to provide the most I can to make the world a better place for them and us alike. I am available to work from 9am-8pm depending on services. Sometimes I may consider slightly earlier or later schedules depending on the client. Depending on what your pet needs, I will find a way to work it around the schedule. I will ensure that your pet is well fed and exercised regularly. I will make sure that they are safe and not exposed to anything potentially harmful and monitor them accordingly. I am open to special instructions or any specific accommodations that are necessary for your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog (Pitbull) for 3 years. Unfortunately we had to part away but she was very hyperactive and fun. She was well taken care of. I’m currently waiting to go to college this fall so I have plenty of time to take care of dogs/cats in my daily routine. I would care for pets as their owner would care for them. Making sure they are safe and well taken care of care of in their home.

About: When I was 15, I had my first puppy named Marshmallow, a very handsome grey & white Shih Tzu. Since then, I've had this massive love for pets. I have babysat my friends and family dogs, including a pitbull, a golden doodle, a cat, a labrador, a pomeranian, and a disabled terrier. I will take care of them with lots of love & compassion. I can guarantee great on-time care for them. I'm a full-time student in college looking for a part-time job that smoothly fits into my week. Also, creating my own schedule is something that comes in handy on busy school days. I would take your dog on long & lovely walks, keep them well-fed, work on possibly getting them to new tricks & make sure things stay clean.

About: Hi! I’m a college student home for the summer with 4–5 years of experience caring for pets. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and love their animals like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Thank you for considering me to care for your amazing companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially while I’m home for the summer and have a more open schedule. I plan my days around my availability (11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays) and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and playtime they need. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or just keeping a cat company, I treat it like a priority not a side task. I also stay flexible so I can adjust to each pet’s unique routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.

About: I have been around a variety of animals my entire life! Currently we have a 2 year old Newfoundland. We love the big and fluffy dogs. Winston loves making new friends to play with. We have a large fenced in Yard (5 foot tall fence). I have raised huskies for 12 years, so I have experience with the energetic, hyper active dog breeds. I also have experience with many other animals as I have had them as pets previously (cats, lizards, ferrets, rats, hamsters, birds). I prefer to pet sit for only one family at a time. This is for your pets safety as well as my dogs. I was a vet tech for 12 years. I am comfortable giving medications (oral, injection, topical, eye drops). I have experience with young and older dogs. Typically first potty break is around 6am and bedtime around 9pm. During the day dogs can go outside every few hours as needed. I currently primarily telework 3 days a week, and go in person to the office 2 days a week. Dogs are welcome in the home office and will get let out throughout the day. When I have to go in person, dogs are kenneled. My in person days are typically 9 hour days. Dogs are fed twice a day and sepetate from one another. Food bowls are not left out during the day. There is always access to fresh water. Dogs sleep in the bedroom with us at night. The back yard is fully fenced in (15 steps down). I also have a ti-out in the front yard for senior dogs who are not good with stairs. The kitchen and living room area are baby gated off. Gates are only shut when needed. Otherwise dogs have full access to 1st and 2nd floor. Winston is very friendly and loves them company of other dogs (playing or lounging togeher).

About: I have been raised around animals my whole life from horses to dogs. Have my very own fur baby who I love and have had for 5 years now. I am available for walking or drop in anytime after 3. For boarding I can do all days,although weekends give me more time for your fur baby. From to 10 to 330 we are out of the house,our little one walks around freely. I have a pretty good sized back yard, it is also fenced in. Perfect place for your loved one to be able to stretch their legs.

About: Hi! I’m Gianna, and I have over 5 years of experience in pet care as a veterinary technician, working closely with both dogs and cats. I’m skilled in administering vaccines and medications, monitoring pets’ health, and providing client education to ensure pets thrive. I also have my own dog, so I understand firsthand the love and care our furry friends need. I’d love to help keep your pets happy, safe, and well-cared-for! I currently serve in the United States Army National Guard, and I have pretty much open availability outside of my drills one weekend a month. I'm willing to travel up to 50 miles outside of Oxon Hill, MD and I’m happy to accommodate walks, visits, and care whenever your pets need me! When I care for your pet in your home, I’ll treat them like my own. I provide love, attention, and supervision while following your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, giving medication, or playtime.
