About: I am reliable, loving, and attentive, ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while their owners are away. I feel pets are part of the family and I do allow them on my furniture and give lots of snuggles and kisses. I have over 26 years of experience raising my own pets to identify sickness and can administer meds (including insulin shots) if needed. Your fur babies will be my top priority and I promise to care for them like they are my own. I am available for watching your fur baby in my home to include overnight or coming to your house (not overnight), walks, or other care you may need. My schedule is flexible and will accommodate your needs. I have a privacy fenced yard and 4 sweet pups of my own to keep your dog(s) company. My property has multiple video cameras for security and I can send you photos and videos while you are away or FaceTime with you so you can see your babies are having fun and being well taken care of and loved. I understand pet care very well as I have had 8 fur babies previous to the 4 I have currently from big dogs to little dogs. I am very aware of changes in behavior or if fur babies aren’t feeling well and will communicate with you if I think your baby is not feeling well.
“Emily is wonderful and Layla immediately warmed up to Emily which is wonderful and gave me peace while on travels. I highly recommend Emily, she is a warm person, easy to talk to, professional and a wonderful person. I will ask Emily to care for Layla with my future travels that I'm not able to take Layla. Thank you Emily for a wonderful job.”
About: I'm Hannah! I have two boys, ages 3 and 7. My kids are great with dogs as we have been doing Rover for over 6 years. We are dog lovers and we would love to have your doggy in our home while you are away! I can offer as much or as little outside time that’s needed. Your baby will be in great hands while you’re away and you won’t miss a beat with all the pictures that are sent your way. Your dog will get a lot of outside time, exercise, play time, snuggles and freedom. Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. (: I have a flexible work schedule and work from home 3 days a week. We love to be outdoors playing but are also completely fine staying inside and relaxing. We treat any dog in our home like family. We try to make them feel as comfortable as possible as we understand that being out of their home and away from their owners can cause different behaviors such as anxiety, sadness, hyperness, etc.
“I messaged Jaden and she was able to come that same evening for a meet and great, and start walks as early as the next day. I highly recommend her! Jaden has been walking my puppy Toby for 3 weeks now. On time, great communication, super flexible and has great availability. Will continue to work with Jaden moving forward.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for several years & can be trusted in the comfort of your home to meet your pets needs! Family & friends have been able to rely on me & know that they are in the best of hands! I have a puppy of my own & a senior dog & they are my best friends, I’m hoping to make some more!! During the week I work very early in the morning, so I am free for any pet services after that! I typically work a little later on the weekends, generally to mid afternoon if so, but my schedule is very flexible! I have a lot of free time to spare. I go by whatever schedule your pet has, based on their eating & sleeping times, and everything in between!! If they just need a little play date or a long stroll around the neighborhood, I’m here! If they have a jam-packed day of fun… I’ll also be there! I’ve dealt with crate trained animals & also animals that roam free, big & small! Anything your pet needs, I’ve got it!
“Meeting Kat for the first time was a wonderful experience. She has a friendly and outgoing personality, and our dog, Wrigley, warmed up to her instantly. We’re excited to have her take care of Wrigley and house-sit for us while we’re away on vacation.”
About: I have cared for or owned it all. Cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, geckos, birds. You name it, i’ve probably cared for it. I come from a rescue and pet care background, having personally owned pets since early childhood. I am flexible with scheduling currently, coming from a pet sitting background I know demand fluctuates broadly depending upon the time of year and needs of the client base. Peace of mine for clients and happy pets is my top priority. Always ensuring secure households, following of client instructions and safe handing of pets in and outside of the home.
“Malcolm is awesome! He was prompt, professional, friendly, and best of all loved our dogs and they love him. He took the time to get to know them, asked us questions, provided us with an update after the walks. We love working with Malcolm and will request him again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals of varying sizes and species since I was 10, whether they were my own pets or others. Multiple friends and family members have trusted/relied on me to care for their animals because of how much respect I have for them in general. Though I do have a soft spot for dogs since I have two. I’m gonna be learning at my mom’s boutique which will leave my schedule pretty open so I decided to use Rover again. I can offer my services most of the time, not just conveniently but happily. (I’m currently not offering boarding anymore but I do offer house sitting/drop in visits.) There’s a saying, ‘treat others how you how you want to be treated,’ and I apply the same thing to our animals. They are a part of our families and I’ll treat them no differently. I will give them the respect they deserve.

About: Big dogs, little dogs; I have over 25 years of experience with animals. Growing up, I worked at Gaithersburg Animal Hospital where I walked, fed, cleaned, and performed lab work.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I watch neighbors and family members dogs on a regular basis(feeding, walking, etc.). I love animals and being outdoors. Dog walking is one of my favorite activities that combines two areas of life I love! I am currently a full time college student and work part-time. My schedule allows plenty of flexibility, especially this summer without school! Mornings and evenings are preferred, but I am able to switch around my routine to accommodate your pup(s)! I have two cats who are very pet friendly! I am fully capable to accommodate anything your pet may need to ensure they are safe and loved while their owner is away!
About: Hi! My name is April. After growing up around dogs, my husband and I decided to get our first dog-a Hurricane Katrina rescue-as soon as we got married! Having a love for dogs evolved into a partnership with a local rescue in which I've volunteered for transport, adoption home visits, adoption follow up, and fostering. 3 dogs later-I enjoy walking the dogs around the farm, car rides(with drive thrus for pup treats of course!), and cuddling on the couch(our dogs know how to nap!). My friends know that my house is the "dog house" and that their dogs are welcome to come have fun and hang out too! I tend to be the "go to" friend when someone needs a pet sitter:) I specialize in special needs and geriatric care.
