“Jon and Lily have been great my dog Archie. We have a regular, recurring schedule where one of them stops by on weekdays to let Archie out and play with him. Would recommend them for any pet care.”
“Nicholas is great !!! My dog is not too comfortable with other people walking him, but Nicholas is so patient with him. Seeing how excited my boy gets when it's time to go with Nicholas is everything a dog mom wants !”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments. With help from my partner Deborah, we assist with walking, feeding, playtime, and basic care while ensuring dogs feel safe, calm, and loved at all times. I have a flexible college schedule, and my partner Deborah and I coordinate our time so that pets receive continuous care and attention. With two of us involved, availability is very high, and pets are rarely left alone. This works well for weekdays, weekends, and extended stays. Pet safety and comfort are our top priorities. Deborah and I work together to follow all care instructions closely, maintain supervision, and provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. With two responsible caregivers present, pets receive extra attention, quicker response if needed, and a consistent routine. We treat every pet as if it were our own and always respect the client’s home and preferences.
“Gordon is absolutely amazing with my lab! He keeps up with her crazy energy and is always willing to work with my constantly changing schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Matthew is absolutely great! He is incredibly reliable, punctual, and always sends the best updates and photos. Our dog looks forward to every single walk, and we love having total peace of mind while we are at work. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole is amazing! She treated Diesel like he was apart of her family. He went on atleast 30 minute walks which is needed for my dog. If you have dogs that are interested in other animals, Nicole knows how to regain attention from your dog and complete the walk. I will definitely be using Nicole again.”
“Alexandra has been awesome! She’s been great with our two pups and they bonded with her right away. She’s extremely responsive and very detailed with looking after our doodles. We already booked another walk with her, it’s a great piece of mind to have her looking after them!”
About: I’m Tracey and I love fur babies! They are the most loyal and sweet pals who truly care about everyone they interact with. I miss having my constant companion, Jasper, since he passed and I’m not currently able to adopt a pup. Providing loving care to the wonderful animals of my community is the perfect way to get my ‘dog fix’ in! What you will love about me is that I’ve been a lifelong pet parent and have been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family members for years. I’m responsible and trustworthy, and aim to create a respectful and friendly relationship between you and your family! I treat others’ fur babies as if they were my own because I know how important they are to their families. Being communicative is also important when watching pups, so I keep you updated with photos and texts so you know what we’re up to while you’re away. I have cared for dogs of every size, breed, and personality and have specific experience with Miniature Schnauzers, as I owned one for over 12 years. I was also a foster mom with Schnauzer Rescue League of the Mid Atlantic. I would be happy to care for any pooch on Rover! I live Hyattsville in a beautiful and spacious home that is completely pet-friendly. All animal visitors are allowed on the furniture with your permission, and can enjoy cuddle sessions on the couch each night. We have a fenced-in backyard where your dog can enjoy safe potty breaks and play time or even sunbathing and nap time! My neighborhood is perfect for pups, too! It’s a mix of townhomes and family homes with lots of children. It’s a very walkable area close to shops and restaurants and a doggie park. I live with my 21 year old son, Timothy, who is a former Rover sitter and would be happy to dole out extra cuddles to your pal. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm tweaking areas around my house, working in my garden, exercising, or volunteering at Meals on Wheels. I love being a stress free as possible and having doggie visitors helps me stay happy and healthy! I can’t wait to meet you.

About: I have taken care of dogs for friends and family all while growing up. I enjoy spending time with animals. I have been a reptile mom for the past 7 years. Pretty open schedule since I am a business owner. Tuesdays are usually extremely free and flexible as well. I have great communication skills and great time management as well.

About: I have been pet-sitting for most of my adult life, am skilled in dog behavior, and focus on keeping my dog guests calm, happy, and comfortable in their new surroundings. Your dog will share a cozy house with a large back yard with an elderly Basset Hound and a sweet cat. I also have a dog treat business so there will always be fresh-baked snacks around! As I have my own needy senior dog, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. The dogs who best fit into my household of older ladies are low to medium dogs over 2 years old who are content with unlimited back yard play and one long walk during the day. I have a large back yard, and I always take my dog and guests for a longer walk each day for stimulation and exercise. Dogs are permitted on furniture and the only rule is that they are respectful of ZsaZsa, the resident feline queen.
About: I love to meet new animal friends and help out! I have taken care of dogs and cats of friends and neighbors since I was a kid and continue to love to do it!

I live in a small house with a fenced in yard with lots of room for running and playing outdoors and indoors. I am also nearby a park.

About: I’ve owned and cared for cats and dogs my whole life. My own dogs are e collar trained and I understand reactive dogs. Happy to accommodate all needs and medications.

About: Though I am new to Rover, I have many years of experience both pet sitting and house sitting for friends and family. My goal always is to provide your fur baby with the love and care they deserve while you are away! Additionally, I currently work as a veterinary assistant, and have done so for the past 4.5 years working in emergency clinics. This makes me knowledgeable on pet health care - especially for elderly pets or those who require special care (ie medication, physical therapy, assisted walks, etc.) - and competent during emergency situations. I currently work night shifts at a vet clinic 3 nights a week, meaning I am available during the day to takes walks, provide meals and some play time with your pets. I am also free Saturdays and Sundays all day! My goal is always to stick to the plan that you, as the owner, decides. I understand the importance of maintaining a schedule and do my best to do so. I also try to keep the house and pet area as clean as possible, and make note of any changes in your pet (such as if they get an upset stomach or irregular bowel movement).

Mount Rainier dog parents share their Rover experiences
I am so grateful for Thomas the incredible care he takes of my 3.5yo Great Dane! Thomas is a consummate professional, from diligence with all my requests to even thinking proactively about the weather. He is truly a wizard at capturing action shots, too! His detailed descriptions of the walk and fun pictures are such a ray of sunshine to receive in the middle of my work day. My Dane has some dog reactivity and I am grateful for Thomas’s ability to work around his needs. Thomas has been walking him for two weeks now and I will happily keep booking him for as long as I can.
Amani provides excellent, dependable, and timely service. She communicates and schedules in advance, and always follows through. My dog knows her well and feels completely comfortable around her. If you’re looking for professionalism, reliability, and genuine kindness toward your pet, I highly recommend her services.
We downloaded the Rover app as an alternative to using a kennel because of the high prices, and honestly, we were a bit skeptical at first. But within just a few hours, we connected with Michael — and everything changed. After reading his reviews, we scheduled a meet‑and‑greet to see how our dog would react. Our dog took to him immediately, which made the decision easy. We booked Michael for two walks a day for seven days while we were on vacation and set up a lockbox so he could access our home. Michael was caring, compassionate, and genuinely loving toward our dog. It was clear he went the extra mile every single day. We came home to a happy, well‑cared‑for pup — and we saved a ton compared to boarding. Thank you, Mike. You’re amazing.
We've used David on multiple occasions. We love him. He's soft spoken, a nice person and great with our pups. He has helped us a number of times when were in a jam and needed someone to step in quickly. He's very conscientious and pays strict attention to our guidelines for him.
