Ashley was wonderful with our two dogs! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared for them so well. We felt completely at ease while we were away. She kept us updated, followed our instructions, and gave the dogs lots of love and attention. We came home to two happy, relaxed pups. We’d absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!

About: I have always been around animals whether they were my own or someone else’s. I have also shadowed at vet clinics and done kenneling briefly at a clinic. I love spending time with pets and taking care of them. I am a college student who is currently studying biology, I then plan to go to vet school. So over the summer and holiday breaks I have plenty of time to care for pets. If they are on a feeding schedule I follow that schedule. I’m also very active myself and love being out side. If it’s nice out I’ll take your animal out to play and walk.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors who trusted me with their furry family members. In addition to years of hands-on experience, I also spent 4 years working in the veterinary field as a veterinary assistant/technician, giving me the knowledge and confidence to care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. Additionally I have fostered for local rescues, litters of puppies to senior pups, all with individual needs. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medication administration, senior support, or just lots of love and attention, I’m committed to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for lots of snuggles and walks. I am able to stop by for quick check-ins or stay for a few hours to get those afternoon zoomies out. I have experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments and breeds, allowing me to calmly and comfortably crate, medicate or walk pets. Having the knowledge and hands-on experience allows me to stay calm in any situation which helps your pets feel safe.

Grace did a fantastic and professional job house and dog sitting for us. She was able to help us with a last minute request and did so well with our dog. She had awesome communication with details and pictures. She was also extremely prompt with responses and kept beautiful care of the home. We initially thought our dog would be okay left alone, but when those needs changed Grace didn’t mind a bit. We will absolutely be using her again in the future and cannot recommend her enough.

About: I have a 4 year old pit and she is the best. Super energetic, loves to cuddle, loves people and other dogs, and is extremely smart. I am raising and training her myself. She knows all her basic commands like sit, stay, come, down, and heel. We have begun her off leash training! I have a 2 year old cat and a gecko. I also have experience with larger animals such as horses. I have worked with horses for about 8 years on and off. I am a recent college graduate from the College of Southern Maryland with my associate's degree in Arts and Sciences. I am able to do morning and afternoon visits and walks. It is very rare, but I am usually not available in the evening or weekends. I can also book out in advance house sitting if needed. I will administer medicine if need be, feed, and fill water bowls for drop-in visits, walks, or house sits. I can also trim nails and bathe for an extra charge. On walks, they will be no more than 30 minutes.

About: If requesting for dog walking services I can provide leash training and basic obediance if requested. I am comfortable with specific schedules and administrating medication. Hello my name is Christa, we are a military family. I was in the Navy for 7 years and my husband is currently stationed in Indian head. In the past we have owned a dachshund and a westie, so they hold a special place in our hearts, but we love all dogs. In our house your dog will be one of the family. We will give them all the love and snuggles! Must be good with children. I have a 1yo and 4yo. They are very gentle with animals but will still get in their face and want to pet them. We only watch one dog at a time. I am a stay at home mom so your pet will get lots of attention and frequent potty breaks. We also like to go on walks when the weather is not too hot. I usually bring a wagon, incase anyone gets tired. My husband is a couch potato. All dogs love him and are usually snuggling up on the couch with him in the evenings. I currently stay home with my daughter full time so we have all the time to give your fur babies the attention and love they deserve with frequent walks and love. We like to go for many walks around our neighborhood. Our neighborhood is quiet and has many walking trails nearby. We do not go out if the weather is too hot.

Tarressa is amazing!!! I contacted her at the last minute when a family member backed out of keeping my pup. Tarressa answered my desperate call and graciously welcomed us in to her home. She showed such love to my baby. She sent pictures and videos and messages to let me know my girl was having fun. I’m grateful Rover introduced us - we’ll definitely be spending time with Tarressa again!

About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years. I can handle small, medium, and medium large dogs. For cats, any cat breed and size I can take care of. I clean litter boxes daily and walk the dogs 2-3 times a day. I feed the animals 3 times a day as well. I'm currently job hunting before i enter college part-time so i have plenty of time to watch and take care of pets. I draw and play video games often so i either have alarms set or check the time often for when i need to fulfill the pets needs. I have a fenced backyard to let the dogs out whenever. Also a dog gate on the upstairs level to ensure the dogs doesn't wonder around when i'm not home or asleep.

Shantae was a tentative on time and really took great care of our two year-old and six month old puppy. Our puppy had no accidents either in the house with her which is amazing while she still is still potty training. Shantae was able to look out for the signs to help her continuously be successful in potty training. If you’re looking for someone who will take care and treat your fur babies like royalty.

Kylie is phenomenal! My pup is so well cared for by her. I’m always excited to see the action photos from their walks! This time, we booked a few days of house sitting. It was clear she provided loving care when the next morning, after the stay, my pup went to the guest bedroom to look for her. My guy missed her. Always a good sign. Thanks Kylie!!! 💕🐾
