“Dee Dee is awesome! We can always count on her for weekly weekday walks. She always gives great updates and sends pictures during each visit. Happy we came across her profile on Rover!”


“Katelyn has been walking our dog Buddy for about a week now, and every day has been a breeze. She is always right on time, and it only took one walk for Buddy to grow completely attached to her! Getting a regular schedule set up with Katelyn was a breeze; not to mention a huge relief for us, as it meant we could get back on a normal schedule of our own.”


“Hired Brittany to walk/play with Mason during the workday (60 minutes). He had a blast and was relaxed and tired when he came back. Brittany was timely and efficient and sent pics/update when finished. Will be hiring Brittany again.”

“Leslie was great with our black Lab, Sophie. She did a home visit first, and we talked about Sophie’s routine, predilections, and personality. We walked together and Leslie took the leash, handling Sophie well. She did a bunch of mid-day walks for us, and sent updates (usually with a photo or two). She usually responds quickly to texts and was flexible with me when I had to reschedule. Sophie and I were both happy!”

About: Open Availability! • Huge animal lover, I take care of both cats and dogs! I’ve been around dogs for a lot of my life and I love the energy that they bring! I’m currently a cat mom to my 3 year old Milly. I love paying special attention to their specific needs. Having an owner disappear can be overwhelming for a pet, so it’s important to make them feel comfortable and safe when their owners are away. Onboarding services are for cats only. Although I have another cat, I have lots of room in my house with separate bowls and a litter box for her as well as her own treats and toys! If a carrier is needed, I can provide that as well. I’m currently unemployed so my availability to care for your pet is 100% open availability! I can work mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Seeing your pet several times a day is also doable. I do the general tasks such as feed them, clean their waste, play with them, walk them, etc. I pay close attention to a pets needs and wants and respect their boundaries.


“If you are looking for somebody who is reliable, affectionate and patient, Shannon is the person you can count on.Rest assured you furry love will be well taken cared off. We are happy to have met Shannon and will definitely rebook!”


About: Hi! Our family loves dogs and we want to open our home to yours. Growing up, I had an Eskimopoo as a brother, and he was the most important being in my life. In 2009, after moving to Maryland from New Jersey, I adopted my current dog, Simi, from a shelter. She was abused, so it took some work and time to warm her up. Simi has gone from shy and timid to an important part of our family of 3 and the most loving and gentle dog you will ever meet. My 4 year old son was born into this world with Simi by his side and only knows a world with dogs in it. He loves dogs so much, that we adopted Ginger last year, a senior dog abandoned by her owner. Unfortunately, we lost Ginger to cancer a few months later Our loving family will make sure your beloved dog receives snuggles and belly rubs all day and night and be treated as part of the family. I know how hard is it to leave your dog to go on a business trip or vacation. So we will do everything we can to ensure your dog is safe and loved while you enjoy some time away. As a recently terminated federal employee, I am ready to spend the day with your loving pup on walks, playtime or just have a fun time in our fully fenced 1 acre yard! Your pet will make sure I get the excercise I need! I very much care for animals and their well-being, I will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable knowing s/he will be sad missing mommy or daddy. Having a senior dog, Simi, my children are trained to be gentle and create a respectful environment for any pet guests we may have. If I am visiting your home, I will ensure to respect your pet's boundaries and ease my way into their safety zone. Eventually I hope to become a part of their routine.
