Love & exercise for your cutie

Hello! My name is Adva and my husband is Steven. We live in a beautiful home in Kensington, MD with a huge fenced in back yard and parks nearby for walks. We have two children and a friendly adult dog, love dogs of all kinds and enjoy giving them lots of outdoor exercise. Your pup(s) will get tons of personalized attention from our loving family. Plus, we send daily photo updates and text messages so you can see your pooch having an amazing time. Before moving to the DC area a few years ago, we sold our very successful dog walking/pet sitting business. We have years of professional experience and have had pets our whole lives. Would love to give your dog(s) a loving, stress-free stay while you're away! Contact us today. :)

Adva & Steven were fantastic! They sent many pictures and updates while I was away. My dog is afraid of thunderstorms but they made sure he was comforted during the storm. Also, they were flexible with pick up time when my flight was delayed. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, welcoming dog sitters.

Violet had a great long visit this summer! She feels like a one of the family.

Adva and Steven took great care of my dog while we took a quick weekend trip. They were easy to work with, flexible, and sent lots of pics. Most importantly my dog had so much fun that she did not want to leave when I picked her up! I definitely recommend them and look forward to using them again for boarding!

Adva & her family were awesome. They took Chapo on daily walks thru the trail in the woods with their dog and sent interactive videos and pics daily. They were very understanding when my flight cancelled the day of my return. When I picked him up the next day, he was excited, and I could tell he had a great stay. Great experience! I will definitely 💯 use them again!

A typical day

We take our guests on walks around the neighborhood and fetch in our large yard. We provide lots of sniffing and wagging opportunities for your pup. We have a large fenced in yard where your dog will get lots of outings and playtime. Plus, tons of snuggles, especially at night. For sleeping, please provide a dog bed or we can make a cushy spot for them for the night. If you'd like they can also sleep on our couch. :) We will make sure they're cozy and snuggled up warm.

Before sitting a dog, we would like to know more about your dog's temperament with children and other dogs and whether he or she is up to date on vaccinations. Any medical issues we should know about? What is the dog's routine, feeding schedule and where does he or she like to sleep? How much exercise is appropriate? We love all breeds as long as they are good with children and other dogs. This information will help us take good care of your pet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
