“Jason is beyond wonderful with our new pup, as well as very friendly and kind. He's accommodating to our changes as we settle into a routine. We're looking forward to ongoing walks!”
About: I’ve helped walk and play with dogs at a local dog shelter and also watch my friend’s dogs, including walking and sitting two dogs at a time. I work remote, Tuesday to Friday, and my job isn’t very busy so I have plenty of time on my hands to walk dogs anytime time during the weekdays. Weekends are also flexible too. When I care for dogs in my friend’s homes, they have fenced in backyards for them to run around in but I also walk them in the neighborhood and on trails.
About: About Me: Hello, My name is Cassy and welcome to my profile! I'm 27 and have been around dogs and cats all my life. I live with my boyfriend and my cat, Link. Link likes most dogs. He is a little afraid of very large dogs with tons of fur, which is why I require a meet and greet every time to ensure that they get along! :) I also do overnight stays in your home, as an option! I would absolutely love to meet your very special child and help/care for him/her and spoil them! Please reach out to be regardless of my calendar, depending on where you are in relation to me I can work with you. My job is very flexible, I am the owner of a local company. Why I love dog sitting I was about 2 years old when I lived with my grandfather and he had 2 dogs, Brendel and Brittany. Brittany was a Collie and Brendel was a lovable mutt. Years passed and a lil pup named Sebastian came to us in the middle of the night scratching on the door. My dad let him in and he has been with us ever since that. I consider him to be my very best friend and I will always love and adore him. My experience administering medication If the owner is fine with me giving medicine to them. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have experience giving oral medications and injections.
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid, and as soon as I was able to, started walking dogs in my neighborhood in middle school. My family ended up owning 4 dogs at one point and I’ve been one of their primary caregivers for the past 10 years! Between jobs at the moment, so I’m available any night for dog-sitting. I’m also able to pop in to walk dogs throughout the day, as my days are mostly free. I can prepare food, get fresh water, give medications, brush teeth if needed. Happy to follow any particular instructions needed for your pet to keep them happy, calm, and healthy!
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.
“Malek is a dog whisperer! He was wonderful with our Australian shepherd puppy - who has a lot of energy and love to give! Malek took her on some great walks, and she was actually tired after! Thank you so much, Malek!”
“Shreejaya is incredibly kind and helpful with walking our dog and checking in on our cat. She is just the best and we really appreciate her! Highly recommend if you’re looking for pet sitting, dog walking, etc.”
About: Growing up, my house was full in the best way possible. Every pet was treated like family, and I learned early on that each animal has its own personality, needs, and way of showing affection. I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, hamsters, chinchillas, snakes, guinea pigs, fish, and more. That range means I’m comfortable with more than the usual routine. I pay close attention to body language and habits, and I can keep you updated with photos and notes. I’ll treat your pet the way I’d want my own pets to be treated! I’m working full-time from 10am-7pm, but I’m flexible outside of those hours. I’m also a graduate student, so I know how to use my time wisely. I like to stay busy. I have a secure house and I’m very respectful when entering someone else’s home. I’ll leave everything as-is and perform tasks with ease and composure.
“Krystian was super at walking my two dogs while I was battling sciatica. He arrived on time, expressed concern for my condition and paid close attention to each of the dogs. He was very friendly and easy to work with. I will definitely call on him again.”
“Anton has been walking our Pittie, Mihoshi, for months, and he is an excellent walker!! He’s very attentive to our pup’s behavior and communicates thoroughly. If we ever need to make adjustments, he is flexible. If he has upcoming plans, he informs us weeks in advance so we can work out the schedule together. I couldn’t recommend him more if you’re looking for a walker or sitter for your furry friend. :)”
“Oyindamola was so sweet and caring to my Cali! She sent me so many videos and kept me updated on all the activities they did! Really happy with her and would 100% book her again! Thank you for the love and dedication ❤️”
About: I love dogs. All sizes but I have a soft spot for small dogs. I'm the type that like to do long walks and go to doggie parks. Im currently working full time but I know some people work late nights and their puppies need some loving and affection while they are gone. Im that person to give it. Im free from 5:30 to 9pm. Monday through Friday and 10am to 10pm Saturday and Sunday I know how hard it is to trust someone with your baby (I see all pets as babies) so I take this responsibility very serious. I want you to know how caring and responsible and understanding of the importance of taking care of your puppy. I have some puppy toys and a crate for certain times of the day. Doggy parks are a must as well. Plus im very energetic and love playing

Tyler Jade was fantastic! She was dependable, attentive, and made the entire experience easy and stress free. I really appreciated her care and flexibility, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their furry family member!
Very thankful to have found Nayke! I am particularly appreciative of how perceptive he is with my dogs, and he always provides feedback that lets me know he was actively engaged in their care. He’s also happy to take treats with him to help with any training issues on the walk. Looking forward to continuing to work with him going forward!
Maya! Thank you so much! Envy was incredibly happy upon meeting Maya and easily welcomed her warm personality. I received qualitative updates in each Rover card with adorable photos to pair! Maya was receptive to all procedures necessary to provide care to my pup and will absolutely use again!
I couldn’t be happier with my experience! They were reliable, caring, and clearly treated my dog like their own. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands, and I loved getting updates along the way. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!
Whitney was an absolute lifesaver walking my two little pups. They warmed up to her instantly. She went above and beyond making sure they were safe and got good exercise and sniffs. Communication was perfect. I would absolutely reach out to Whitney as a top choice for future walks. Highest recommendation. Thank you Whitney!
