“Savannah was great! It was our first time using her, but she communicated well and did a great job taking care of our dog! She made sure he got walks, play time, and took his meds.”
“Thanks so much Yerlis. Very professional. Dogs took to her immediately. Timely and accommodating. First time on the app and a great impression so far. Will see you soon.”
“Mickela was very professional, quick to respond and kept me updated! My pups (even my anxiety case) were comfortable with her. I will be booking her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of several pets since I was young. I had several dogs and cats (sometimes at the same time!). I love walking and playing with dogs, I’ve trained my puppy. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I have also taken care of kittens and adult cats. I have litter trained kittens and played with them often. I currently work full time, but am more than happy to watch your fur baby on my days off! I have days off where I have no plans and would love to spend it with more dogs or with your cat! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.
“Mikeala took great care of my cats! She made sure they were eating, scooped their litter box, and went out of her way to clean up their little messes. I’d be happy to use her again! Thanks Mikeala!”
“First time puppy owner and Rover user and I highly recommend Melissa. I unexpectedly had to work out of my DC office which means we had to travel to town and I had to leave my 14wk puppy crated for much of the day for the first time. He's not fully vaccinated yet so he can't even go for a walk and I needed someone for multiple times a day. Also, he's a handful. I was SO worried! Melissa was AWESOME and from the meet and greet just put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with photos that let me relax and focus on my job knowing he was in good hands. I saw he went to the bathroom, ate and drank and got out his puppy zippies - a productive half hour I aspire to! She even got him to #2 on the puppy pad, which is still a challenge for him! Next time I'm in need of a walker or a sitter in DC, she's at the top of my list. Thanks again, Melissa!”

We also have a cat of our own, so we understand the importance of routine, litter care, enrichment, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. Caring for animals in their home requires patience and attentiveness, and we take that seriously. Together, we have experience caring for dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. Working as a team allows us to provide consistent supervision, maintain routines, and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. We are comfortable with: • Small to large dogs • Senior pets • Multiple-pet households • Following detailed feeding and care schedules We prioritize clear communication, cleanliness, and maintaining a calm, secure environment at all times. Our goal is to provide dependable care so you can travel with peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our routine.

About: I have been around a variety of animals my entire life! Currently we have a 2 year old Newfoundland. We love the big and fluffy dogs. Winston loves making new friends to play with. We have a large fenced in Yard (5 foot tall fence). I have raised huskies for 12 years, so I have experience with the energetic, hyper active dog breeds. I also have experience with many other animals as I have had them as pets previously (cats, lizards, ferrets, rats, hamsters, birds). I prefer to pet sit for only one family at a time. This is for your pets safety as well as my dogs. I was a vet tech for 12 years. I am comfortable giving medications (oral, injection, topical, eye drops). I have experience with young and older dogs. Typically first potty break is around 6am and bedtime around 9pm. During the day dogs can go outside every few hours as needed. I currently primarily telework 3 days a week, and go in person to the office 2 days a week. Dogs are welcome in the home office and will get let out throughout the day. When I have to go in person, dogs are kenneled. My in person days are typically 9 hour days. Dogs are fed twice a day and sepetate from one another. Food bowls are not left out during the day. There is always access to fresh water. Dogs sleep in the bedroom with us at night. The back yard is fully fenced in (15 steps down). I also have a ti-out in the front yard for senior dogs who are not good with stairs. The kitchen and living room area are baby gated off. Gates are only shut when needed. Otherwise dogs have full access to 1st and 2nd floor. Winston is very friendly and loves them company of other dogs (playing or lounging togeher).
Marlow Heights cat parents share their Rover experiences
Very grateful for Issi from the very start- offering to do a meet and greet first to ensure the best possible care. She was communicative, kind, and very sweet and caring with our cat while we were away. She even brought in packages and mail for us. Thank you!!
Cassandra is an absolutely fantastic sitter. She is proactive, detail oriented, and reliable. We were gone for a week and have two very spoiled cats. I left a long list of things I wanted her to do for us, including giving one of our cats his inhaler every day, and mixing in supplements into food, along with lots of preferences to keep their routine as normal as possible. Cassandra not only followed everything we requested, but went above and beyond. She gave us detailed reports about how the cats were doing and photos every day for us. We do not leave our cats alone often and I was so happy to have someone that I knew was exceedingly capable of caring for them. We had a few issues with another sitter that was also booked for another time of day while we were away on the same trip, and I think I would've lost my mind if Cassandra wasn't around. She gave me peace of mind that she was handling any potential problems, even if she wasn't the one that caused them. Thank you again for all of your efforts and keeping Spooky and Jinx happy and healthy while we were away!
Absolutely amazing sitter. She left detailed notes after every visit, sent pictures, and clearly put a lot of care and attention into checking on my cat. I really appreciated how communicative and thoughtful she was, it made being away so much less stressful. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. Would absolutely book again!
I highly recommend Mickela for your pet sitting needs. She was able to fill a super last min need for drop-ins on my two kitties while I was away for a few days. She responded quickly and was able to meet me at short notice. She was very sweet and the boys took to her immediately. She was great about cleaning up their messes (including a puke surprise left by one of them lol). This was the first time I booked a sitter to do daily drop-ins and I’m so glad I reached out to Mickela. She was such a huge help. 🤗
Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏
Rachel did drop-in visits for our kitten for our weekend away. She took great care of our kitten while we were away, playing with her all over the house and a variety of toys, including remembering our kitten’s favorites. We did a meet and greet beforehand, and that was easy to schedule, and I could tell Rachel would be sweet with our pet. Her Rover cards were also great. We’d be happy to have her services again.
