About: My family has a nine-year-old Goldendoodle named Rocky, and caring for him has been a wonderful part of my life. When I lived with my parents, I helped take care of Rocky by taking him outside for potty breaks every morning and before bedtime. After work, I enjoyed taking him on walks around our neighborhood, giving him exercise and time to explore. I also loved spending time with him in my parents’ backyard, where he could relax and enjoy the outdoors while I worked on yard projects. Through these experiences, I learned the importance of being patient, responsible, and attentive to a dog’s daily needs. Now that I have moved out of my parents’ home, I would love to share that same care and attention with other dogs while their owners are traveling. As a dog sitter, I can provide regular potty breaks, enjoyable walks, outdoor playtime, and plenty of companionship. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I would do my best to make each dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and responsible hands! I’m currently working full-time. I plan to sit your dog on weekends when I can pay attention to their needs and when most people might be travelling. I will take your dog on regular potty breaks. Let them enjoy the backyard in my townhouse. I will also walk them and take photos to share with the owners while they are away.

“Hillary is super friendly and played with our cat during vacation. She put our mind at ease and ensured Paprika had a friend in our absence! Would highly recommend!”

“Victoria and her son communicated in a very timely manner. Photos were sent every visit and if something came up they addressed it with me as well. It was nice to have them as pet sitters and recommend them! Thank you once again!”

“Clara took great care of our dog while we were away for a 4 day weekend. We got updates and pics of his walks / playtime and knew he was quite happy to have Clara keeping him company. She has a very calm demeanor and is great with animals. I would highly recommend Clara.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have experience caring for dogs for family, friends and neighbors. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime and keeping dogs company. I’m responsible, patient and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’d love to give your dog some extra attention while you’re away or busy! I currently work just one hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout most of the day and can easily work around your pet’s routine. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for in their own environment. I’m happy to follow your usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you have

“Jessica has been absolutely amazing with our puppy, Honey. She is on top of providing updates on Honey's behavior, demeanor, energy levels, and potty habits during the times she is with her. She gives her exactly the type of love and attention we need when we're out working all day. Jessica is responsive, flexible, and reliable and has truly been such a gift for our family. Honey loves her days with Jessica, and we love knowing that Honey is in good hands! Jessica is all around fantastic to work with.”

About: Raising my own dog from puppyhood and caring for dogs of all ages has taught me how to show up with patience, love, and consistency. I’m comfortable with both active pups and laid‑back cuddlers, and I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. Dogs make life more fulfilling, and it would be an honor to care for your pup with the same warmth I give my own. 💕 I’m a grad student who works part time, so my weekday schedule is very open during the day. I can do check‑ins while you’re at work, and regular walks throughout the day. Your fur baby won’t have to wait long for attention, and I’m able to follow whatever routine helps them feel comfortable and cared for. I do have my own friendly dog at home, and I always make sure introductions are slow and safe so every pup feels comfortable. We live in a house in a quiet, dog‑friendly neighborhood with plenty of space for your pup to relax, explore, and enjoy walks. I keep a close eye on all interactions and follow whatever boundaries or routines help your dog feel secure.

“Stephanie stepped in on short notice and took great care of our dog and cat while we were away? She left helpful notes, sent photos and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were out of town! I would definitely recommend her and will reach out to her when we travel again.”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up with everything from Yorkies to German Shepherds and Goldens. I’ve also cared for dogs on and off since I was 18, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and, unfortunately, this just isn’t the right time for our family to have a dog of our own. Rover gives me a chance to get some much-needed dog time while giving someone else’s pup a little extra love and attention—which, for me, is a pretty great trade! I really try to meet each dog where they are. If your pup wants a friend to play with, I’m happy to play. If they’re older, shy, or just happiest with some calm company and a good belly rub, I’m equally happy doing that. I pay close attention to behavior and will always communicate if I notice even a subtle change that I think you should know about. I also believe you know your dog better than anyone. I’ll respect your routines, rules, training, and preferences and care for your dog the way you’ve asked me to—not the way I think it should be done. Safety always comes first. Dogs stay securely leashed with me, I avoid interactions with other dogs unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise, keep an eye on what they’re getting into, avoid hot pavement, and double-check doors and gates. I do ask that any history of aggression be shared with me so I can keep both your dog and myself safe. I’m home during the day and have flexible availability for early-morning walks (even before 7!), daytime visits while you’re at work, and evenings. And fair warning: if you’re the kind of dog parent who loves getting pictures, you’ve found the right person. I will happily take a million. 😊 EM As a stay-at-home mom, my schedule is fairly flexible and pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m available for early-morning walks (including before 7 a.m.), daytime walks and drop-ins while you’re at work, and evening visits. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, so getting outside for a walk or stopping in to give a pup some attention is something I look forward to—not just another task on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my top priorities. In your home, I’ll always respect your routines, rules, and instructions—you know your pet best, and I believe their care should stay as familiar and consistent as possible. I’m very safety-conscious. I double-check doors and gates, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid interactions with other dogs unless you’ve specifically told me otherwise, and pay close attention to my surroundings and to your dog’s behavior. I’m also careful about things like hot pavement and anything they may try to pick up along the way. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet with patience and genuine kindness. Whether they want to play and burn off some energy or just need calm company, affection, and a belly rub, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll also keep you updated and let you know if I notice anything unusual—even a small change in behavior.

About: Hi! I'm an elementary school teacher who's off for the summer and looking to stay active while meeting new pups. I have a very flexible schedule week to week! I I have a 4 year old lovable Berner and a 1 year old daughter. I love dogs of all sizes especially ones that love attention and lots of scratches. I also love cats and would be happy to spend time with them! I will be off for the summer so I have a very flexible schedule. I will be home most days taking care of my own dog and daughter. There will be lots of walks and love! I have a very friendly dog who will be able to keep your dog company throughout the day. He is pretty lazy and tolerant to younger/more energetic dogs.

“Josie took care of our two cats Darcy and Noodle, and we only have good things to say. She gave them all the attention, pets, and brushes they could want.”

“Chloe was fantastic! I was traveling with Winnie, a Boykin Spaniel puppy, and I had to stop for a few days of Work in the DC Metro. Chloe came over to the hotel and made sure that Winnie was fed, watered, walked and entertained while I worked all day. I'm sure this was a unique situation but Chloe made it work and did an excellent job. I highly recommend using Chloe, Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life. I grew up with both small and large dogs with all kinds of different needs. Truly, I understand that each pet has its own unique needs which I’m patient and willing to understand. As an adult I’ve owned/lived with 3 small dogs (pug, 2 cavalier King Charles spaniels) and a cat so I’m fully capable of taking care of multiple animals at once. I’ve cared for both my cavaliers from puppy through their seniors years including one being in a wheel chair his last year of life so I have experience with dogs in all years of their life. My cat was adopted as kitten so also familiar with cats during all years of life. Over the years I’ve done pet sitting and walked dogs for friends and neighbors in addition to my own pets. My work schedule is flexible with a blend of in person and remote work so we can discuss a schedule that fits your pets needs. Safety, trust, and respect are extremely important to me. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, and maintain a calm, safe environment. I treat every home with care and respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I believe clear communication builds trust, so I provide regular updates and photos and am always available if you need to reach me. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet and your home are in good hands.

About: Your Pet Deserves to Feel at Home 🐾❤️ ⭐ Proud Rover Star Sitter I’m a passionate and responsible pet sitter, and I’m truly grateful for the trust families place in me. To me, caring for a dog means more than simply feeding them and taking them for walks. It means getting to know them, respecting their personality, and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐶 Real Experience & A True Love for Dogs My experience with dogs began many years ago in Colombia, where I cared for my own three dogs: an energetic Pitbull and two Cocker Spaniels with very different personalities. They taught me something I believe is very important: every dog is unique. Some dogs need plenty of exercise and play, while others need calm, patience, and extra affection. Some are social from the very beginning, while others need a little time to feel comfortable and build trust. I take the time to understand each pet and follow their family’s instructions carefully. When your dog is with me, I want them to feel like they are in a safe and loving home. ❤️ 🏡 A Loving Home with Plenty of Companionship I work together with my husband, Carlos, which allows us to provide pets with plenty of companionship and attention during their stay. We enjoy maintaining a calm routine and following each family’s instructions so their pet can settle in comfortably. Your dog won’t simply be “another pet” during their stay — they will be part of our family while they are with us. 🐾 🚗 Convenient Door-to-Door Pickup & Drop-Off To make things easier for you, I also offer door-to-door pickup and drop-off for daycare and boarding stays, depending on my service area. I understand that between work, family, and everyday responsibilities, taking your pet to and from daycare or boarding can be difficult. I want to make the process as convenient as possible for you. 📸 Communication You Can Count On I know that leaving your pet with someone else can sometimes be stressful. That’s why I believe communication is so important. During your pet’s stay, I’m happy to send you photos, videos, and updates, so you can see how your companion is doing and have peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. I carefully follow your instructions regarding meals, walks, schedules, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. ❤️ My Commitment to You My goal isn’t simply to care for your dog for a few hours or a few days. I want you to come back and find your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The trust of every family means so much to me, and I’m proud to provide care based on love, responsibility, communication, and respect for every pet’s individual needs. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care so they receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and rest throughout the day. I enjoy having a consistent routine because it helps pets feel comfortable and secure while they are away from home. I also make sure to follow each pet’s individual feeding, walking, and medication schedule according to their owner’s instructions. I’m flexible and happy to communicate with pet parents about their pet’s specific routine and needs before their stay. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and safe environment where pets can feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention and companionship. Before each stay, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide the best possible care. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, schedules, and any special needs. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so they can adjust to our home at their own pace. During walks, I always prioritize safety and use appropriate precautions to keep each dog secure and under control. I also believe communication is very important. I’m happy to send photos, videos, and updates throughout your pet’s stay so you can have peace of mind. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and treated with the same care and respect they would receive in their own home. 🐾❤️
