About: Since I was young, I've been very drawn to caring for pets of all nature and have a very deep connection with dogs. From my experiences with having 2 dogs of my own to being the best aunt to my sisters’ poodles, I know that a dog really is a human's best friend. I'd love the opportunity to help others care for their best friends too! Currently, I have reduced my hours at my hospital job to an average of around 20 hours a week, thus have a lot more flexibility in my schedule and can change my work availability as needed. For the remainder of the summer, I am preparing myself to start graduate school in the fall, when I will be enrolled at GWU and living in Alexandria. As such, I am available to take on any and all services necessary to offer help in any way that I can! Though I would not be looking to house any pets in my home, I do prefer fenced yards for client's homes so that outside play can ensure safety for the pet as while as myself. If this is not feasible, I will gladly resort to playing inside (with permission from the owners), as well as traditional dog sitting indoors and frequent neighborhood walks.

“Wenda was absolutely fantastic. She was very engaged with my two chaotic cats and made sure the litterbox was clean and functioning. She communicated with me about everything that was happening and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her.”


“Thanks Phoenix. Reliable, got the job done well and a caring person to trust with my cat visits. I appreciate you watching my kitty kid and will be in contact again for your great services ASAP.”


About: My name is Molly and I just graduated from Stony Brook University with my bachelor’s in marine biology. I am currently in the process of applying to veterinary school and am employed as a vet assistant. I have worked as a kennel assistant at Dogwood Acres and I have dogs of my own. I have worked with small and large dogs, as well as dog-aggressive dogs. I have also house-sat cats before. I care for my 2 reptiles and fish and I grew up on a small farm with goats, sheep, chickens, and more assorted pets. With my knowledge of the vet field and background in animal care, I will do everything I can to make your pet comfortable and happy <3 I am working as a vet assistant to get oriented in the field and I am also writing my vet school applications this summer. I work Monday-Wednesday and every other Thursday. Occasionally I have half days on Saturday. Every day is filled with pet care for me, and I have extensive experience in the field. I would love to give the best care I can to your pet! If boarding: I have a dog named Jane who gets along with other dogs and loves people! I have both a fenced yard and an open yard that your dog would be free to roam if staying with me. I also have a pool that is available to them. There is a doggy door to the fenced yard and pool, water available throughout the day, and I will be around to keep an eye on them unless my schedule states otherwise. I’ll make sure they’re eating, sleeping, getting medication as needed, and having normal potty breaks. I will update you with daily photos and call in case of any abnormalities or emergencies. If housesitting: When going over to your home I will make sure to check on your pet regularly and observe their behaviors. I will make sure that your pet is eating, having normal potty breaks, getting medication as needed, and that the house is in good condition after your pet has been left alone. I am willing to water plants, feed fish and reptiles, and do other general housesitting tasks as well. I will send updates at least once a day with photos and call in case of any odd behavior or emergencies.

“The first time she came over to meet the puppies they went crazy both loved her and our youngest can’t stop looking for her after she left. Today was her first time with them and she send us picture and gave us update.it felt like she have knowing them forever. It’s a great feeling! We all can’t wait for next visit from Kim. Thank you Kim!”


“Bri was amazing with our babies! One of them needed extra love/care as she has a sore that is currently healing. She did such a great job and went the extra mile!”


“Annette was so sweet and communicative! We felt so good about leaving our pets with her and would absolutely book her services again.”


“Madison was able to stop by with less than 48 hours notice to take care of my two puppies during our night out. She did a great job and they were so content when we got home!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a child. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving each pet the love and attention they deserve. I work in Annapolis Monday through Friday and am available to help with walks, potty breaks, or drop-in visits after 4:30 PM in that area. I live in the Beach and typically get home around 5:30 PM, so I can also care for pets in that area during the evenings. On weekends, I’m off and my schedule is wide open to help however needed. Whether your pet needs a quick visit or some company for a few hours, I’m happy to help! I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of walks and playtime, and feel happy and comfortable. I’m also happy to give baths and trim nails if requested.

About: I've taken care of pets my entire life, I currently have 4 cats and I also work at a daycare and boarding facility so I'm more than capable of handling all types of dogs and cats. My responsibilities at work include cleaning, playing, monitoring play groups, feeding, and giving medication to all different sizes and breeds of dogs as well as caring for cats in my own home. I believe every pet deserve love and patience and I enjoy providing them with that. I currently work full-time at a daycare and boarding facility, I'm available after 7pm and before 6am every day to care for your pets. :) I can walk, play with, feed, let out to potty, clean up after, and give meds to your wonderful pets depending on your needs. :)

“Jeff took great care of our rambunctious dog and two indoor/outdoor cats. He accommodated our schedule for an initial visit. We loved his communication and all the pics he sent. He went above and beyond. We highly recommend him!”


“Ive never had my dog so excited/happy with a Rover person. Randi truly goes over and above. She came prepared with her own supplies (treats/poop bags) and was patient when i abruptly asked if she would be willing to stay longer due to work conflicts that arose. Genuinely has love for dogs. As long as her schedule is clear wont be booking anyone else going forward”


“Melissa was great and kept great care of sunny. Will definitely use her in the future”


About: Hi! I’m Sarah – a lifelong dog lover and experienced pup parent. 🐾 Dogs have always been a part of my life. I’ve grown up surrounded by them, and I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a four-legged best friend by my side. From tiny puppies learning to sit for the first time, to senior dogs enjoying their golden years, I’ve cared for and trained dogs at every stage of life. I’ve raised and trained multiple dogs from puppyhood, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love it takes to guide them into well-behaved, happy companions. I’m a firm believer in positive reinforcement, lots of praise, and a structured yet loving routine. Now, as a stay-at-home mom with two playful boys and two sweet blue heeler mixes, our home is full of energy, love, and plenty of tail wags! Your dog will be treated like family here Whether it’s for a walk or drop-in visit. Snuggles on the couch, playtime in the yard, and personalized care are all part of the package. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I promise to treat your dog with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with 2 human children and 2 furry children myself. I’m here to help you on long work days, trips with your family, or just extra playtime for your pet when you can’t be there! To me—my pets are like family. We go on daily walks together, we have a large fenced in backyard, and playtime/enrichment is plentiful. I’m willing to work with your dog on crate training if desired, walking on leash, socialization, and more!

Molly S.
“Molly watched my Lab and Labradoodle, one being a tripaw who requires assistance navigating stairs. This was my first time leaving Winston since his surgery. Molly sent me pictures and videos, which brought a smile to my face and instilled confidence that my boys were in capable hands. I can attest that Molly genuinely cares for animals and treats them with the same affection as if they were her own. Anyone who meets Molly is immediately drawn to her warm demeanor, almost as much as my dogs are. I intend to utilize Molly's services again and can assure you that your pet will receive exceptional care and affection.”

Ev L.
“Ev was my pet sitter while I was at work. They are great with cats and dogs. They played with the dogs so much they were exhausted when I got home. Ev also gave the cats plenty of attention, even my older cat who is a picky eater. Ev made sure my older cat ate his prescription food and had his medicine every day. I choose Ev every time I have to go away for work or need someone to pet sit during the day.”

Sarah W.
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of our two dogs, three cats, chickens, goats, and cows !! Her main focus was taking care of our two dogs, one has three legs and a lot of extra special needs. Sarah was fantastic with her and really went above and beyond to make sure both of our dogs were happy and comfortable while we were gone It was also clear to see that she spent extra time and attention with our three cats. Especially our senior cat who can be a handful. Sarah took excellent care of our house while we were gone. She checked in with us regularly and sent lots of pictures. We are so grateful to have found someone to love our animals and take care of them the way that we do I highly recommend Sarah for all of your needs. From a quick let out during the day to overnight care and extended stays.”
