“Carla did a wonderful job walking our Shih Tzu, Paige while we were on vacation. Thank-you for taking care of her. Very reliable and communicated via the Rover app.”
About: I am an animal lover and have had various types of animal companions throughout my lifetime. Currently I am the Farm operator for our Urban farm. We raise ducks and chickens but they are always separate from visiting pups. Only within view for their entertainment and relaxation here on the farm. Yes we are located nearby in the city 🥰 I have a quiet understanding with most animals that I come across and enjoy their company. I have sat for many of my friends and family and am the go to person when someone needs to go out and about but cannot take their pet family members. I am currently focusing on dog sitting and have dedicate my time to being available to meet as many fur babies as I can in the next couple months. I have a room dedicated to pet care which has a greenhouse feel with plants but is fully enclosed in the home. It has a doggy door which leads out to our fully fenced back yard and large dog run with a insulated dog house inside. I also have a wireless camera on the areas which allow me to make sure that everyone is ok at all times. Please note that I no longer accept large breed dogs at this time aside from past clients. I am currently focusing my time on pet sitting. I am always also checking in via webcam on the pups wherever I am. Dog personalities are so amazing and fun to see. I have a double fenced yard to keep your pets safe. Lots of open dog crates and bedding for snoozing. A dog door that allows them some freedom and a large dedicated outdoor dog area for doggie playtime. They also always have access to fresh cool water.

“Gabrielle was very responsive and they were accommodating of my wanting an initial meet/greet introduction. They let me know when they arrived and again when wrapped up the walk; gGreat service. Thank you!”

“Micaela was amazing and she is the sweetest! I messaged her very early in the morning to walk my dog Kato and she was at my apartment within 2 hours! Her responsiveness and communication throughout the entire booking was exceptional! My baby absolutely loved her, not to mention he was exhausted after their walks! Thank you Micaela, I will be booking again!”

“Tandy was super professional and kind. I lived a little out of the ways but she was happy to come by and take care of our dog. I scheduled her for a walk and she still came and walked her in the RAIN and got soaking wet. Even got my dog a towel and dried her off. Definitely will be booking her again. True heart of gold and very helpful.”

About: I am a huge animal lover. I grew up in a house with dogs, cats, chickens and ducks. I've always had dogs in my life. I've taken them out for walks, played with them, fed them and cared for them. I haven't had a dog of my own yet but I am looking forward to the day that I can! I live with my sister and her husband along with Sadie (the dog) and two cats. I enjoy playing with Sadie, feeding her and taking her on walks or to be dog park. In all the places I've live in I am the one who babysits my roommates animals. Animals have always been close to my heart and I look forward to meeting yours and making new dog friends! And now my career is in the pet industry! I'm an currently in between jobs and have a lot of free time to spend with your pet. I work in the pet industry, animals are my life. I am not able to have pets at my house unfortunately, due to my dog not being unfriendly with other dogs. BUT, I am able to come to your house. I am very aware of my surroundings and dog temperaments. I feel like I have more awareness due to the fact that my dog doesn't get along with other animals.
About: Damola has over a decade of experience caring for pets and is currently available for walks, check-ins and house sitting. She focuses on creating a safe, nurturing environment tailored to each pet's unique needs and preferences, incorporating stimulating activities, personalized care, and open communication with owners to ensure a positive experience for both pets and their human. I attend grad school in the evening from 6-9:30 PM Monday-Thursday, but will be done with classes in early May. On the weekends I am completely free. I can take your pet out on walks multiple times a day. I live with my 2 year old Beagle mix who is very active and friendly with other pets.
About: Hello! I've had dogs all my life and worked as part of a rescue group for part of that time. I love dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them. I can take them for walks, give them lots of attention and if they take any medication, I have experience with that as well. I'm good with any size dog since I've had a lot of different ones from Cocker Spaniels to Irish Wolfhounds. I don't have any "official" recommendations but I have pet sitted for friends of my family a time or two. I'm also good with multiple dogs, having grown up around 6-12 in my house at any given time, along with multiple cats. I would love to be able to pet sit for you! I currently work from home, so I am able to be flexible when it comes to taking care of your furry family members, rain or shine! I can do doggy daycare in my house if your furry friend gets along with mine, but also more than happy to take care of your pets in your home, whether taking them out for a walk, feeding them, or letting them out into the yard.
About: I’ve had 3 dogs that have all lived long happy lives. I have stayed overnight with dogs of all sizes. Love all animals! I have a platform that highlights pet owners and nature. I work remotely and have flexibility that allows me to be present for the animals I care for. I have a schedule I follow, so I will be available as needed and great communication I ask clients to be clear on their preferences so we have a safe and fun experience. I am open to trials and meet and greets as well.
“Alex has been great with my dogs! They pull on leash and can be difficult to walk, but Alex keeps a firm grip on them. He is very reliable and follows directions. Would definitely hire him again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 10 years of personal experience caring for dogs and cats. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, with my third dog passing a little over a year ago, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets withe different needs and personalities. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs. One of my dogs was diagnosed with diabetes, so I have over 3 years of experience administering medications and insulin injections. With multiple dogs in the house, I’ve had plenty of experience keep track of different diets, medications, and routines at the same time. I also have experience with anxious and reactive pets, and I understand the importance of being patient, attentive to their body language, and know how to learn the different personality of your pet. I know that every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow any instructions to help your pet feel most comfortable. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention that I give my own. Whether they need a long walk, playtime, medication, or just some love and attention, I want you to feel confident that they’re being well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a college senior, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for boarding on weekends as well as extended stays throughout the week. I do have classes Monday-Thursday, but I have long breaks throughout the day that will allow me to return for check-ins, walks, and spending time with your pet. Outside of class, I’m home frequently and have plenty of time to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand that I am entering both their space and their pet’s territory. I always approach pets patiently and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I will closely follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules so that your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible. I will treat your home with respect and make sure your pet receives the same care and attention that I would give my own.
About: I have owned different breeds of dogs over the last 10+ years. I am highly experienced in training, walking, feeding, bathing, playing with dogs, etc. I have a mature, friendly 6 year old beagle of my own who loves to meet new friends and enjoys company! I am home 7 days of the week and do school virtually, so I am able to be extremely attentive of pets under my care. I walk my pets multiple times daily around College Park, MD where they receive lots of attention, I also have a fenced in play area attached to my living space. I work from home/do school virtually, so I am home 7 days out of the week! I am able to be extremely attentive of pets under my care. I have a fenced in play area where other dogs also play attached to my living space, I walk my pets multiple times daily, exploring new places and pretty sights! I have roommates who also assist in supervising pets under my care, when I have to run out for errands. Pets are always supervised!
About: All my life I have loved animals. I greet the pet before the human most times lol. Having had a family dog majority of my life, and now seeing all my siblings have their own pets (dogs & cats), I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to watch your pet, because pets are family! It brings me so much joy to spend time with animals and be able to provide them a safe space to play, explore, eat, sleep, and be loved on! Animals want to feel comfortable and safe just like humans do, and I am joining Rover so I can help provide this type of care for more loving pet owners 😊 If your dog stays with me we will: go on a minimum of 2 15-30 minute walks, have plenty of play time inside and outside, and be cuddled up on the couch enjoying each other's love. I will also send you plenty of pics with updates of how our time together is going! I want to give your pet the best experience while you are away so they feel okay with the unavoidable time apart. Let me rid you of pet parent anxiety & guilt. Trust that with me, your pet with be safe and have a great time 😊 I work remotely, so I have flexibility between the hours of 7am to 7pm to: pick up or drop off a pet, let a dog out to use the bathroom and get some fresh air, take a dog out on multiple walks and socialize them if their parent wants/allows that, be in the home whenever the pet wants attention and love, stimulate their brain by playing with them, and feed it breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I want to ensure a pet gets the most out of their day! I have been caring for animals most of my life, and I care for them as if they are my own pets. I make sure their needs (food, water, bed/sleeping area) are easily accessible and that I am available to them whenever they need. I have a fenced in yard and communal courtyard, making bathroom breaks and outdoor playtime/exploration easy! I also have an open living room and a long hallway making indoor playtime fun and doable! And I have windows that look out onto the street and nature to keep their mind busy on those days the weather isn't the best (and they may not want to be outside). When on walks, I am alert and ensure they are always close to me and in safe situations. I know all the safe foods & medicines cats and dogs can have, as well as the unsafe foods & meds, which I make sure are put away and/out of reach for the animal. I know when to be stern in my tone of voice to discipline a dog when necessary (e.g. out on a walk and they are pulling or I need to get their attention, if they have gotten into something that they shouldn't have, etc.). I want to always make sure the pet is safe from harm when with me. They are like children to me, and I will do anything to protect a child! In addition to ensuring the pets safety, I love to snuggle and give pets all throughout the day, providing the pet with lots of love and comfort. Making them happy makes me happy!

“Asha was amazing. You can tell that she really cares for your pet and will take extreme caution while they are in her care. After each walk she communicated various aspects of the walk to include, my pet’s behaviors to strangers and people she knew and anything else a pet parent would be concerned with. She has a very warm personality and I would definitely use her again.”

Cameron responded quickly to each of my messages and was on-time for our booking. Cameron was terrific with our dog! She warmed up to Cameron almost immediately and was very happy when she returned from her walk. And, as a first-time Rover-user, Cameron helped walk me through the app. We’ll definitely be repeat clients and would highly recommend Cameron.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
