About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have learned how to care, play, and communicate with them through a lifetime of caring for them in my own home. I’ve come to love their little personalities, every pet a distinct individual. I also have experience working in a local pet store and know a great deal about nutrition and treats for pets. I can walk, check in on, or sit for your pet while you’re away in a safe, trustworthy manner. Dogs of all sizes as well as cats are welcome! I hope you’ll consider me today! I’m a full time college student, so my schedule is very flexible. I am most available in the summer and winter, but during the semester I’ll have plenty of time fri-sun and later availability mon-thur! I am able to control rowdy/excited animals on walks and have extensive knowledge in pet diet restrictions. Pet care may seem simple, but I take their safety and security very seriously. If anything unusual happens, you’ll be notified straight away.
“Lilla has been amazing with our dog and communication with me. Lloyd was having severe anxiety and Lilla communicated with me every step of the way, on his behavior, shyness, and even when he got a bit aggressive towards her. She comforted him and gave him the space and attention he needed as we devised a plan. I appreciated her openness, understanding and thoughtful approach to our dogs needs!”

It helps with mitigation. I have never had any accidents happen under my watch and would like to keep it that way.

About: I've owned my own personal pets for the past 8 years, including a snake, dog, and cat. I've also worked with a variety of species in my educational, personal, and professional life. I work summers in a high-stress environment (clinic/boarding facility) where I am responsible for the day-to-day needs, grooming, and occasional medicating of animals. I own my own animals, so get hands-on-experience with animals everyday! Additionally, as a pre-veterinary major at UMD, College Park, I learn not only the practical ways to work with them, but the scientific reasoning behind why animals do what they do. I also work with them professionally during the summer, when I am not at school. I will not provide services from my home (due to owning my own animals, family at home, etc.). However, any rules set by the owners would be followed to the letter, and I am also extremely capable of making choices in the best interest of both animals and people involved in situations, due to my history of involvement with animals!

I know that life can be unpredictable, so I offer flexible availability whether you require daily walks or last minute appointments I can be there to make sure your pet has the care and attention they deserve.

Ilia thank you so much for being patient, kind, and genuinely caring with my puppy. Ilia will go above expectations to ensure that your pet feels loved and cared for. She asks questions, was timely, and followed all instructions. I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in your care. I appreciate your help and will continue to book with you.
Julie is truly a dog’s best friend! She’s incredibly warm, patient, and genuinely understands that every dog has their own unique personality, quirks, and triggers. She takes the time to build trust with each dog and makes them feel comfortable and safe. She’s also an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind. We always know our dogs are in the very best hands with Julie, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Layla was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They take some time to warm up to new people and Layla went at their pace. Within just a few visits the dogs were in love with her! Layla is very communicative about her visits and sends great picture updates. We’ll definitely be hiring her again in the future. Thank you, Layla!!
Alexis was absolutely amazing while we were out of town! She took such great care of Uno and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Uno was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!
Diana came at short notice to meet all my rescue dogs with their quarks. She took the time to get to know them and allow them to warm up to her. She was flexible and very easy to work with. She sent me updates letting me know I didn’t need to worry about my babies while I was away. I would recommend her if you’re looking for a caring and compassionate sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
