“Amazing pet sitter! Erica was so fantastic with our new cat who can be a bit skittish. Erica also did a great job navigating hiccups with our apartment complex, cannot recommend them enough!”

“Anny is incredibly nice and she did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She sent me photos and updates so I always knew what was going on and went above and beyond, playing with, petting, and brushing my dog not just popping in to dump food in a bowl/rushing the dog outside and leaving.”

About: I'm new to professional dog walking and eager to grow my experience. I've regularly walked my grandmother's dog, and I love being outdoors with animals. I'm reliable, patient, and will treat your dog with the same care I'd give my own family's pet. I'm happy to follow your routines and send updates along the way. I'm currently in school pursuing my master's degree. At the moment, I'm available on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM for walks, and I'm available from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon for house sitting. I only provide care at my client's home, not my own, so your pet stays in their familiar environment, which I find reduces stress for most animals. When I'm in your home for walks or house sitting, I follow your established routine for feeding, playtime, and walks as closely as possible. I keep a close eye on your pet's behavior and comfort throughout, make sure doors and gates are secure, and send updates or photos so you can check in. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect and attention I'd want if the roles were reversed.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lanham
Bryanna was wonderful with our furry crew! She took such great care of everyone and even our shyest kitties opened up to her! I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for conscientious and loving care for your pets. She was timely and communicated well with us the entire time.
Olivia was a wonderful sitter for our three cats. We arranged her service at the last minute after our regular sitter was unavailable. Our cats immediately took to her as she lovingly extended her hand to meet them. They were fed, litter boxes were cleaned and they were calm when we returned. Great communication and it was a nice touch to get photo updates! I can highly recommend her service!
