About Romario H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
At home, I care for four cats and one dog, which has given me extensive hands-on experience managing multiple pets with different personalities, routines, and needs at the same time. I’m comfortable handling varied feeding schedules, dietary requirements, and medication routines, and I stay attentive to health and wellness needs, including vet care and ongoing monitoring. Balancing individual attention is important to me. I make sure each pet gets the care, engagement, and affection they need while maintaining a calm, structured environment. Cleanliness and safety are a priority in my own home, and I bring the same standards to every stay and visit. I also tailor play and exercise to each pet’s energy level, whether that means active outdoor time or calm indoor enrichment. The care I provide your pets is the same care I give my own—consistent, attentive, and dependable.

A typical day
Every pet has different energy levels and preferences, and I tailor playtime accordingly. Whether that’s active games like fetch and longer walks for high-energy dogs, or calmer, enriching activities for cats and seniors, I adjust based on what each pet enjoys and needs. For dogs who like the outdoors, I provide safe walks and fresh-air time in pet-friendly areas, always prioritizing safety and comfort. When outdoor time isn’t ideal, I focus on indoor enrichment using interactive toys, puzzles, and play that keeps pets mentally and physically engaged. Cats receive cat-specific engagement such as wand toys, laser play, and simple enrichment that taps into their natural curiosity. For pets who enjoy it, light grooming can also be a calming bonding experience. I also make time for quieter companionship for pets that prefer a relaxed pace. Throughout each visit, I capture photos and share updates so you can see your pet comfortable, engaged, and cared for. Every activity is chosen with your pet’s well-being in mind, ensuring their time with me is safe, enriching, and stress-free.

Pet care experience
What Sets Me Apart I’m a Rover Star Sitter with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and select exotic pets. I’m especially comfortable with pets who need extra attention, including those with medical needs such as diabetes, asthma, kidney fluid treatments, and hyperthyroidism. I’ve also volunteered with the local animal shelter in Rockville, MD, which has strengthened my ability to handle different temperaments and situations calmly and responsibly. I take a very thorough approach to care. Beyond feeding and walks, I focus on maintaining a clean, healthy environment and sticking closely to your pet’s routine. You’ll receive clear, regular updates with photos and honest summaries so you always know how your pet is doing. Most importantly, once we agree to terms and a booking is confirmed, you can count on me to be fully reliable and committed for the entire stay. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own.

Reviews
“Romario was fantastic with Nalu! He was incredibly communicative throughout, always letting me know exactly when he arrived and when he was leaving, plus sending pictures during the walk so I could see Nalu having a great time. That level of communication put my mind completely at ease. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks; Nalu came home happy and well-exercised every time. He’s reliable, punctual, and clearly experienced with different dog personalities. I’d trust him with Nalu again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone looking for a walker who treats their pup like family.”
I'm so grateful to Romario for taking care of my senior cat, Neko, while I was away. Neko needs medication twice a day, and he's very shy, scared of strangers, and not easy to handle. I was honestly very nervous about leaving him, but Romario was incredibly patient and never gave up. He kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which meant a lot to me. Knowing Neko was being cared for made it much easier to enjoy my trip. If you have a cat who needs extra patience or medication, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Romario. Thank you for taking such good care of my little guy.
