About: I used to have another rover account and dog watching was my full time job for about 3 years. I quit for a little bit but now I am a stay at home mom and have a 4 1/2 year old golden who loves everyone and just wants some friends to play with. I am a stay at home mom and have a dog of my own so adding a few more never hurts. My golden daisy is my child she is so spoiled and if you trust me with your dog they will be too. She is full of energy and loves all dogs and people haha. She does not know what stranger danger is. I have a huge fenced in back yard. I am also able to split up my house to have dogs in separate areas when they need a break from each other. This will be my full time job aside from being a mom so I am always home.

“Joselyn is great with our dog. She is very warm and understanding. She is happy to accommodate our routine and requests. She is very communicative, asking any questions that will benefit our dog's experience and sending recaps of each walk. I highly recommend Joselyn.”

About: I have taken care of my family members. dog when I was 19 years old. I have also taken good care of both of my cats when i was 9 years old and help the mother of the kittens through her pregnancy at age 9 years old. I am very responsible in and taken care of your cute fuzzy babies I would be glad to have them. and I also have a pet bunny that is my baby that I am carrying for right now. I'm currently working part-time. I will have a lot of time to get to know them and build a great relationship with your wonderful babies that you love so much I would inform you that your babies are in good hands. I have an unfenced yard. I would take your dog or cat for walks and pick different spots to walk every week I have them so they can get a good experience with me. also, I would play with them have fun take them out on wonderful nature adventure walks. build a very loving respectful relationship even train them a bit.

About: I have always had pets around, Honestly I love them all and can’t see my life without them. They take care of us in the best possible ways and I love the experiences I get with each one. It means a lot to be able to be able to wake up and do something that I love and to help others in the process. I will genuinely take care of every need down to the final detail when it comes to caring for your dogs whether they have allergies or special medications anything at all to make not just them happy but you guys happy as well. I know I am happiest knowing that my dogs in good hands when I leave for a vacation and I will always be more than happy to send photos. I am currently a stay at home mom to a wonderful kiddo who loves any and all animals just as much as I do. We typically are available all week but may be unavailable once a month due to appointments. I prefer going by a set schedule provided by the pet parents this can be in regards to walking, eating habits, or medications if needed.

About: I've owned and cared for many kinds of animals: cats, dogs, birds, other caged, and aquatic (freshwater & salt) pets. With vet tech experience, I have a trained eye for catching and often solving problems. As a horticulturist, I can even care for your plant collection. I simply adore most living things! Being semi-retired and self-employed gives me freedom to create my own schedule. I'm able to fit most timeframes except prior to 9 am as I have my own menagerie to care for first thing! Having had VIP clients in DC for so long, safety and security are ingrained in me. It's critical for your animals, your home, and my own well-being. I follow your instructions or my own protocols as needed, since every pet and home is unique. In my own home, your pet would have their own separate room/space and/or be closely monitored when in the rest of the house. If I accept a mini dog for boarding, they will be on a leash at all times when outside for potty breaks or a walk.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels from a young age and I am currently training a puppy. I am a stay at home dog mom! I am currently a stay at home dog mom to a German shepherd puppy. We go on lots of walks and have plenty of potty breaks. I have a fenced in back yard and a sweet playful pup to keep your dogs company! They will get lots of love and attention!

About: My name is Tas. I have worked at a day practice for about 10 years as a kennel assistant/a vet assistant (giving meds, baths, insulin). I have background in emergency vet clinics as well as day practice. I have a total of 5 pets. 4 dogs ( 2 pits, chihuahua and 1 GSP mix) and a cat. I have background in just about every pet from reptiles to exotics (sugar gliders included). If you have questions about which animals I can watch or would be comfortable watching let me know. When no one is home I do keep my animals crated because I've seen WAY too much in emergency and day practice for me to be comfortable letting your pet be out by themselves with no supervision. I do not require a meet and greet unless your animal has issues with strangers or I'm house sitting. I HAVE A PRIVACY FENCED IN BACKYARD :) all animals must be on a RELIABLE flea prevention and I need that proof before they come in my house.

About: I've been working with and studying animal behavior since I was 10 years old, and my passion for dogs has only grown stronger over the years. With over a decade of hands-on experience in training and caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and how to effectively communicate with them. I currently work full-time for a mobile dog grooming company, where I handle dogs daily with patience, confidence, and care. Whether you're looking for someone to walk your dog, provide basic training, or help with behavior issues, you can trust that your furry friend is in experienced and loving hands. I also offer a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most needs with plenty of notice. Whether you're looking for dependable dog walking, basic obedience training, or help with behavior issues, I’m here to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. When in my care, you can rest easy knowing they’re in a secure, loving environment. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where they can play safely, and the property is equipped with cameras for added peace of mind. I’m committed to following any specific dietary needs or routines your dog may have, and I make sure they get their daily walks for both exercise and mental stimulation. If your pup needs regular brushing or combing, I’m happy to handle that too—keeping them clean, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.

“Autumn is great! She's flexible, caring and does a great job with our big guy. She has worked with our changing schedule and even checked in with us during our dogs surgery recovery. Absolutely do recommend her!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have spent the last 3 years volunteering with Hope for Life Rescue and Penninsula Regional Animal Shelter, working hands on with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from bottle feeding kittens and puppies to caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m the go-to person for family and friends whenever they need someone reliable and loving to care for their pets, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight boarding. I have experience administering medications, handling nervous or shy animals, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals are already a big part of my life. I volunteer regularly with a local rescue and animal shelter, foster when needed, and I also run my own business from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise, and my own pets (two cats and one dog) are all friendly, well socialized, and up to date on their vaccines. My dog, Mercury, just turned two and is full of energy. She loves meeting other dogs and enjoys playdates, which makes her a great companion for social pups who enjoy interaction and play. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy environment where both pets and pet parents feel comfortable and confident.

“We had a wonderful experience meeting Dawn. She was warm, professional, and very thoughtful in how she approached getting to know our dog, Mr. Thor. She took the time to assess whether it would be the right fit and was honest and communicative throughout the process, which we truly appreciated. It’s clear that she cares deeply about making sure each dog and family is matched appropriately. That level of integrity and professionalism says a lot. We’re grateful for her time and would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and caring for animals comes naturally to me. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped raise puppies, supported senior dogs, and provided daily care for pets of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, walking, training, or just giving them the love they need, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to look after their pets, and it brings me so much joy to keep them happy, safe, and healthy! Ive been a stay at home mom for about 6 years now so I have plenty of time! I’m available for drop-ins, daycare for the day, boarding, and cuddles on weekends and weekdays. Whether your fur baby needs mid-day playtime or dinner served with a side of affection, I’ve got it covered! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play, a friendly and well-behaved dog who enjoys having company. If your pet prefers their own space, I’m happy to separate or crate as needed. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where every animal is treated like family — whether they’re here for a quick visit or an extended stay.

About: I have always had a love for pets! I got my latest dogther 5 years ago and she is a bundle of joy! Others may say I spoil her but I call it just loving her! ! All of my friends and family count on me to care for their pets while they are away and they know that they are in great hands and I will "spoil" their baby just as much as I do my own! I am a former Elementary school teacher. I’ve also worked with special needs children/adults. I am currently a life insurance broker and I work on my own schedule. Which will allow me to care for your pet anytime. I have a girl dog that is small, lovable, and will keep your fur baby company! I can also crate your dog if need be.

About: I am a vet assistant currently going to school for vet tech. I have puppy/kitten and senior pet knowledge. I love pets of all sizes and have a willingness to work with all temperaments. I’m currently working full time from 8am until 6pm when I can give your fur babies walks and play time! I am usually available between 12pm-1pm to stop by and check in with your pet. I will always give pet parents constant updates along with going over any house rules expected of me. I ensure safety of all pets inside the home.

About: I've been dog sitting/walking for over 15 years to many different size dogs of many different ages. I worked at pet stores and as a vet tech for many years. I have volunteered at Zoos and Animal Rehabilitation centers. I love and can take care of many different animals! I currently have 2 dogs, a cat, a snake, a tarantula, and fish tanks; but I’ve had & cared for many other kinds of animals before (lizards, birds, tortoises, etc). I am very detail oriented, and animals always come first in my life. I just moved here from Florida and have no other job obligations currently. I have my own pets but have a partner to take care of our babies while I focus on yours. I don't bring animals to my personal home but always have the utmost respect for other's homes. I make sure to follow the house rules for the animals and never leave a mess.
