Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Ross Mitchell, I am a trumpet/bugler in the US Army and play teach the trumpet in and around the DC/NOVA/PA areas. I LOVE animals and have always had multiple pets at once. Several dogs, a few cats, pet rodents of various kinds, and even fish were common family additions growing up. Lately I have been missing my two puppers back home (Yellow Lab mixes named Lucy and Sally) and thought that sitting and pet-caring with Rover could be the perfect solution! I am very competent with animals of any size. I'm tall, strong, and can handle walking any large size dog. I also lloovvee playing with small dogs and cats. Getting a cat to play and chase a small toy or jingle on a string is particularly enjoyable! My schedule is flexible which will allow my to stop in for visits and walks several times throughout the day. I have lots of experience pet sitting for friends and family in the past and am confident I can help your furry family member feel loved and comfortable until your return. I am SO excited to get to meet and love any furry friend I have the opportunity to take care of!
Reviews
Ross is awesome!! He will take time to communicate with you. He listened to our needs as well as agreeing to a meet and greet before hand! Ross took great care of our Scout girl. We will definitely be using him for our dogs needs! He even sent us pictures after the walk!
Ross did a fantastic job taking care of Moira overnight while I was away. Moira is a "odd child" and Ross was able to meet all her needs. I will definitely call on him again.
Ross is great with my dogs! He always takes pictures and lets me know how they are! Highly recommend
Ross is very responsible and I felt very secure leaving our little guy, Duggie, in his care. He is attentive and reliable and sent pictures and updates regularly throughout our trip. He is a great sitter and I would highly recommend Ross’s services!

Safety, trust & environment
I can easily crate, walk, exercise, and hang with pets of all kinds! I love walks and runs, fetch is always fun, and scratches or cuddles are never withheld if the furry friend wants them.
Home
Information Ross M. would like to know about your pet
I've grown up with many different breeds and am comfortable with any pup! Before sitting him or her I would just want to know any medications or conditions they may have and also what types of play/contact they prefer. What is their favorite toy/game? Is walking or running better than the other? Where is the pup's favorite place to be scratched? Are there any things I, as the caregiver, need to be aware of?
A typical day
I am very strong and athletic, I am also a teacher and thus have a lot of patience with children and fuzzy friends. I am comfortable with the wildest and most energetic of pups and am strong enough to walk the biggest and strongest of dogs. I have also taken my cat on adventures with a kitty harness. If your furry friend loves cuddles, games, and walks; I'm you're guy.
