“Jonathan was wonderful with Teddy! You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure Teddy had a great walk and was comfortable along the way. He even brought a water cup for him, which was such a thoughtful touch. Jonathan was on time, dependable, and his communication was excellent. Teddy was in great hands, and I’d absolutely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable!”
About: I have owned 5 small dogs in the past 20yrs and have taken cared of different kinds of dogs as well. I have experience with puppies and seniors, big and small dogs, administering medication. I currently have 3 little dogs - an intact Frenchie and a pair of Chihuahua-JRT siblings that are spayed and neutered. I can read most dogs’ body language, and have learned from first hand experience that even the ‘friendliest’ dogs can have their triggered moments. So I always make a conscious effort to feed each dog separately and look out for triggering behaviors like resource-guarding. I work from home so your pup will rarely be left alone. I have a single family home with a big front and back yard that are fenced so they can run around. I’m flexible with pick up and drop offs and cancellations. I understand things happen, and plans change. I am happy to work with you on your requests. Rest assured that I will treat your pups like I would want mine to be treated when I’m away! I let my dogs out every 2hrs or whenever they want to go play since we have a fenced front and back yard. So your dogs will too! I work from home so I can keep your dog company all day. Our dogs usually get an afternoon treat in between meals, and again before bed.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 12 years, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping a consistent routine. I’m patient, attentive, and love giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. While I’m new to Rover, I’m excited to provide the same loving care I gave my own dog. I recently graduated and currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the day and most days of the week. I’m able to spend a lot of time with your pet and can accommodate their individual routine, whether that means morning or evening walks, frequent potty breaks, meals, playtime, or plenty of attention and cuddles. Since I’m not working a traditional full-time schedule, I can be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and am happy to work around your pet’s needs. I’m able to provide pets with plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. I live in a three-story townhouse with my mom and brother, who both love dogs, and we have a fenced backyard. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and medications if needed. I’m also comfortable caring for pets in their own home and will always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being.

About: I’ve grown up caring for and walking dogs for family and neighbors, including regular walks, feeding, and play sessions for my grandmother’s dog. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and dedicated to keeping every pet safe, active, and well-loved. I have full availability 7 days a week, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Whether you need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or full overnight stays, my schedule is wide open to give your pets undivided attention and frequent outdoor breaks. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. I live in an apartment, so I focus heavily on regular outdoor walks, neighborhood potties, and close 1-on-1 supervision. In your home, I respect your space, keep secure leash control at all times, and strictly follow all safety and emergency instructions.

I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your home with respect and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pets receive the same care and attention they’re used to! I’m a college student with a flexible part-time schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I’m available for weekend boarding and can accommodate weekday visits around my class schedule.

About: I have done dog sitting and cat sitting since I was in high school and have always enjoyed it whenever I did it and would like to do it more often! I work for a catering company over the summer so my schedule varies and don't have a set work schedule, it just depends on the week! I have an invisible fence at my house and have no actually fence around my house! My family takes our dog out on leash when she goes out!
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life, and with over 22 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, that passion has only grown. I have dogs and cats myself. Every pet I care for is treated like family — with patience, attention, and genuine love. I offer overnight stays in your home, in-home visits, and walks — tailored to whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be nerve-wracking — that's why I send photo updates throughout our time together, so you always know your best friend is happy and safe. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority, every single time. 🐾 My schedule is flexible. I'm currently a realtor in the DMV and can work my schedule into pet sitting. I can stay at client's houses too. For overnight stays, I stay in your home to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible — same bed, same environment, same comfort. I follow their regular feeding schedule, give plenty of playtime and affection, and make sure they're never alone for long stretches. For in-home visits and walks, I come to you on the schedule that works for your pet — whether that's a quick midday potty break, a feeding visit, or a full walk to burn off energy. Each visit includes fresh water, playtime, and lots of love, tailored to your pet's personality and needs. Throughout every service, I send photo updates so you can see first hand that your pet is happy, relaxed, and well cared for — even when you're miles away. With 22+ years of experience, I've learned that every pet is different, so I always adjust my approach to match their individual routine, temperament, and comfort level.
“Sam was great with all three of my dogs - they all have different needs and instructions, and he executed them perfectly. They are very happy to see him and will be seeing him again very soon.”
About: I looked and took care of my Yorkie dog for 18 years. He was a very healthy dog. Also, I took care of all the family dogs and cats. I will have time to play and take care of your pet. I am available seven days per week for staying overnight with your four-leg loved ones. The dog or cat should have their own area where they sleep inside the (house/apartment). They should have all the vaccines and adequate space to be themselves.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs then owned two blue heelers: one hearing and one deaf. Happy to take good care of your sweet doggies and that you can relax while you are away. I work from home and have a super flexible schedule. I have a doggy door and a fenced yard, and nice trail for long walks. Will invite your doggie(s) as part of our routine and happy to walk more than once a day- will give attention and be sure your dog is happy and comfortable
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a child, and I can’t imagine it any other way! From toy poodles to Rottweilers, dogs have always been fundamental members of our family. I have also watched numerous cats for friends and family over the years, and I’ve made several furry friends along the way! I have open availability for pet care during the weekends, and I am available during weekdays from 10-5 (hours may be modified to better fit a client’ schedule). I have a 2 year old Bernadoodle named Lily! She is exceptionally sweet and great with other animals, so your pet will always have a furry friend nearby! If you prefer, I can also keep your animal separated from Lily as I have several portable gates. Pets are always treated as members of the family with ample love, attention, and belly rubs!

Angela was amazing and was able to accommodate a super short request as I was unable to walk my dogs due to illness. She is wonderful with my big enthusiastic dog who loves to walk and also my slow old lady dog who walks exceedingly slow. All of my animals loved her.
