“Julianna was great with Amber and very communicative! She updated me daily and made sure to give her lots of treats and playtime. This was my first time using Rover, and I'm so glad we worked with her!”

About: My pet care experience started when I adopted my beautiful Staffy, Chloe, back in 2019. I've been able to trained her basic manners and some cool tricks. I've dog-sat for friends and family, ranging from smaller to bigger dogs. I've also volunteered at a few different County Animal Shelters as a Dog Walker. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone who is attentive and genuinely loves dogs, to take care of yours. I currently work full-time Wednesdays to Saturdays afternoon/night shift. I would love to help on Sundays to Tuesdays. I should be available all day during those three days. It is important for me to work with what's important to you and your fur babies. My main priority is your pet's safety during my care.

I’m a huge animal lover so any animal is my best friend!

About: Hi there! My name is Gabby, honestly, since I have been able to reason I have been surrounded by animals, my family own a farm, so I grew up in the countryside. They always had all kind of dogs, cats, horses and bunnies! I am passionate about pets! Whether you’re going on vacation, working late, or just need a little help, I’m here to make sure your furry family member is happy, healthy, and loved while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule, with all my weekends off, and also some days of the week. I worked very close from my home, literally 10 mins! Where I live, there is a park in front of the building, so it's very easy to me, go for a walk, besides I am very active. I love to keep myself energetic!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember. I love seeing them where I work at school. I also love my own dog more than anything I will be going back to my full-time job starting August 19. Once that starts I can only do weekends. I could do weekdays in the afternoon and evening but it would depend on the day. I would follow the instructions you give to take care of your dog in your home. I would make sure they get love and care when you are not there for them. If I’m unsure about something, I will contact you about it
About: I love dogs and wish I had enough land that I could take care of more! My favorite activity is going for walks with my dog, and I can’t wait to do the same for yours! I am also available to board house-trained, non-aggressive dogs. I am home all day with my very sweet pup Tank. I have a fenced in backyard. I can pick up and drop off, I also have an extra bed, leash, and crate, if needed. I am available to help in the Potomac and Rockville area. I work at home part time and am home all the time. Your puppos will get lots of love and attention! I love going on walks so they’ll get plenty of exercise. I have a fenced yard and plenty of parks to walk to in the neighborhood. Dogs are welcome on the couches and beds! They are treated like family!
About: Pets have been in my household since before I was born. I am comfortable with both cats and dogs (having had both myself), and am strong enough as an athlete to meet the physical demands of any size/strength dog :) I just recently graduated, and am home for the summer until I start work in the fall. Day to day is fairly flexible, as I can move workouts around as needed. I am accustomed to following specific routines with other people’s pets, including length of walks, dietary restrictions, and any other routine items that may be personally tailored to your pet.
About: I had a dog who passed away last year at 9 years old who I've had since I was 10. I also get along with many other dogs and love to play with them. I can be relied on to walk, feed, bathe and take care of dogs. I am currently working part-time but my schedule is flexible. I have meetings throughout the day, but they are remote and can be taken anywhere. I respect other people's space and privacy and if given the chance to take care of a dog in-home, I would have no problems. I am willing to do my best to make dogs and their owners most comfortable in their own homes!
About: Hi! I'm Brittany, and I've spent most of my life caring for and loving animals. I have experience taking care of dogs with disabilities and administering medication. At one point growing up, I had thirteen pets, so if you have fish, reptiles, etc. who need care, I can also help with them! I am currently working towards my graduate degree and am available for walks and drop in visits during holiday and semester breaks! 😊 🐶 🐱 Your pet's safety is my top priority. I will treat your pet as if they were my own! I will never let any animals outside unleashed unless we are in an enclosed yard, and ensure that medication and food are always given as prescribed.

Lana T.
“Lana is wonderful with dogs. For whatever reason dogs always gravitate to her, even if it the one who initiates contact with the dog. We have owned 3 dogs and all lived long and happy lives, no doubt due to the attention and love she gives them. Lana wants to bring a dog, Shadow, to the River platform so the owner has an “official” way to request and pay for her to board Shadow.”

Brittany C.
“Brittany was an amazing caregiver for our pup Albert after his Doggy ACL surgery. We had a last minute family emergency and Brittany came over at the drop of a hat to watch our recovering dog, which was not an easy job 2 weeks out of surgery. She actively took note of all our directions and followed each step needed to care for Albert. He was unable to fully walk on his own, so Brittany helped him up to potty outside and give him his pills to ensure he was comfortable. Brittany gave our dog Albert the kind of love and attention he deserved, like she would her own dog, which is why I would trust her any day to watch or walk my dog!”
