About: As a dog owner and foster/rescue volunteer, I've worked with all kinds of dogs, from playful puppies to dogs with special needs, including senior pups which have a soft spot in my heart. i work office ours during week days, after 4 pm i focus on giving my dogs the activity they need, and i dedicate the weekends fully to my furry friends. I have a fenced park in my building with games for dogs, I can crate your dog if wanted or needed, and I have plenty of toys and green areas close by to make sure the pups have fun! I have a pup myself very friendly that will be happy to be and have some company

“Nickolai was very responsive & communicative. I was able to book last minute with him -for the next day! My pup was greeted with a treat which was a great sign! I also received photos throughout his stay which certainly gave me peace of mind. Bruno came home tuckered out and ready to chill, which is great because mom is ready to chill too after a long day of work. He will certainly be back if I am working in the area again! 😊”

“I highly recommend Kristen and Robert to care for your beloved pet. I felt very comfortable leaving my Roy with them and their family of 3 other doggies. I felt they were very kind, friendly and caring. They sent me pictures and let me know how Roy was getting along. I will definitely contact Kristen and Robert again when I am need of someone to watch my precious little Roy. Thank you !”

“So, i was pretty nervous to leave my precious, sick, 4-month-old furbaby with an internet stranger. But we had good conversations beforehand and he had lots of good reviews. Well, the reviews are well deserved! Puppy had a fine time. Howie (and his wife) clearly took great care of her! Would definitely book again. I just need to figure my schedule out.”

About: I’m a full-time pet caregiver with more than 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, fish, and other small pets. I’ve also been actively involved in animal rescue and fostering since 2021. One of my most meaningful experiences was fostering a blind and deaf senior Chihuahua with Cushing’s disease in hospice care for over a year. This strengthened my ability to provide patient, individualized care for senior, anxious, special-needs, and medically complex pets. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions and administering oral medications. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight house sitting. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine while providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and companionship. You’ll receive thoughtful photos, detailed updates, and prompt communication throughout your pet’s care. Multi-pet families are especially welcome! My flat day rate includes all pets disclosed, listed on the Rover booking, and cared for at the same location—no additional pet rates. I provide full-time care but may step out briefly for prearranged dog walks or appointments, as discussed and agreed upon before booking. Feel free to message me with any questions! For added peace of mind, every service booked and paid for through Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes 24/7 support and up to $25,000 in veterinary care reimbursement for eligible claims. Pet care is my full-time work, so my daily schedule is organized around the pets in my care. I offer flexible availability throughout the day and week, including early mornings, late nights, weekends, and many holidays. This allows me to accommodate established routines, recurring services, and last-minute requests when availability permits. I plan travel time carefully between bookings and avoid overbooking so each pet receives their full scheduled time and attention. I begin each booking by reviewing the pet’s routine, behavior, triggers, health needs, and emergency information. I double-check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes before transitions, keep dogs leashed outdoors unless safely contained in an approved area, and monitor the weather to ensure outdoor activities remain safe. I have experience with crates and crate training and am comfortable following an established crating routine when needed. I can also safely manage designated areas of the home using baby gates, closed doors, playpens, or other barriers according to the pet parent’s instructions. This can be helpful for maintaining boundaries, separating pets during meals, or providing each pet with a comfortable space. My goal is always to provide as much safe, supervised time outside confined areas as possible, with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow all access and security instructions, maintain the pet’s familiar environment, and leave the home clean and securely locked. Meet-and-greets are welcome so we can review care instructions and ensure everyone feels comfortable before the booking.

“Very flexible, great communication, and friendly! My pup had a great time and I felt confident that he was in good hands. Would definitely book again!”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born. I'm very comfortable and confident in giving them love and care! I've helped dog sit for my parents, friends & neighbors. I also had the amazing joy of raising a Boston Terrier to the blessed old age of 15. I helped train him as a puppy and in new ways once he lost his hearing and had memory loss in his senior years. I feel like it's a treat just having a fury presence in the house. My husband and I are both drawn to animals. I feel like they make the world a better place! They certainly add joy to mine! I work from home part-time, so that leaves me plenty of time to walk, play with and snuggle your pups! I'm available for boarding both weekdays and weekends. I have a nice size lot to get your dogs out whenever it is needed and also have many great parks & trails nearby for taking a nice long stroll. I am happy to have pets on furniture and sleep in a bed but also can give them the care they are used to (crate sleeping, dog bed, etc). Most important is that they feel comfortable!

About: Hi! I’m Elena. Whether your pet is an easygoing adult dog, a timid kitty, or a gentle senior who just wants a quiet place to nap, I provide calm, attentive, and high-trust care tailored to their normal routine. My animal care background runs deep: 8+ Years of Rescue Experience & Patient Care: I spent eight years volunteering with City Kitties Rescue in DC and The Cats at Longstreet. Through this work, I developed a strong understanding of animal body language, patience with shy pets, and a gentle touch for animals who need a peaceful environment to feel comfortable. Gentle Senior & Easygoing Routine Care: I love spending time with adult and senior pets who enjoy a relaxed pace, predictable routines, lots of affection, or simply lounging on the couch. I grew up with a Peekapoo and trained with the Animal Humane Society on gentle dog handling techniques. Pro Communication & Great Photos: You’ll receive clear, real-time updates and high-quality progress photos during every stay so you always have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and relaxed. Broad Animal Experience: While I focus on adult cats and dogs on Rover, I’ve personally cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—from hedgehogs, rabbits, and pocket pets to reptiles (including live feeding). I maintain a peaceful, welcoming environment and treat every pet like family. I’d love to meet you and your companion! My schedule is very flexible. I work part-time and remotely, which means I am home for the majority of the day and can give your pet plenty of individual attention, frequent potty breaks, and low-stress companionship. Because I work from my peaceful home environment, I can easily stick to your pet’s normal daily rhythm—whether that’s a midday backyard break, regular feeding times, or just having a cozy lap available while I work. Whether caring for pets in my own home or visiting yours, safety, comfort, and respect for routine are my top priorities. In My Home (Boarding): I use a low-stress, step-by-step transition process for feline guests. Just like my rescue fosters, visiting cats start out in a cozy, dedicated space (like a private room) with all their essentials until they feel confident enough to explore the rest of the house at their own pace. For dogs, I maintain a secure, calm environment and ensure my backyard is fully supervised during outdoor breaks. In Your Home (Drop-Ins): I follow your exact instructions to keep your pet’s routine seamless. My visits typically begin with fresh food, water, and litter/potty care. Once their primary needs are met, I spend the remaining time providing gentle affection, low-key play, or simply quiet companionship—always ensuring your home is kept secure and key logistics are handled with complete accountability.

About: As a current dog owner (Rosita, 30lbs), and having had dogs of my own in the past (Scooby & Walnut), I completely understand that special connection of owning a pet. They become more than just a pet, they're family. We only accept one client at a time to ensure 100% care to your pet’s needs. My husband (Andrew) and I both currently work remotely so your pet would have my full attention and the schedule flexibility. My husband Andrew & I are the only humans who live in this house (no children). As a current dog owner myself, I have experience with pet care. I also understand special needs to your furry friend. I can relate because my last doggo, Walnut had a chronic condition that required her to take medication daily, so I have experience with oral medical administration. Be assured that I will welcome your dog the same way I'd welcome anyone into my home. I'd cater to their needs and make sure the dog is enjoying their stay or visit with me! I am organized and responsible but caring at the same time. Thank you!

“Ziggy had a great visit! He was tired when he came home-always a good sign! Patrick took Zigs out for several walks since he was the only dog in their care-I appreciated that very much! I would like to bring Ziggy by again! thanks!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have always been the person friends, family, and neighbors trust with their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I have plenty of hands, on experience with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, making sure they feel safe and giving lots of attention. I’m also a dog owner myself of a golden retriever, so I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your best My schedule is currently flexible as I'm in school, which gives me plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and other pet care needs! I love walking, I can do 1.5-3.5 miles in a day depending on what is good for your dog! Making sure they feel comfortable is most important while getting exercise no matter the weather. There's nothing I love more than dogs.
