About: I have had pets since I was born. I currently live with four dogs and two cats and help take care of them. I can walk dogs on short and long walks. I can house sit any pets or check in as needed. I have a cat of my own named Clementine. She is an affectionate two year old who loves to play. My sister has a cat of her own named Ace. She is six and prefers her space. She will find you when she wants attention or wants to play. My parents have four dogs. The oldest is Ripley at eleven years old. She loves affection and to cuddle. Penny is a Westie mix who is eight years old. She is a sassy dog who will wrestle her way into getting love. Her brother, Balin, is an eight year old German Shepherd. When he is not barking at one of the neighbors walking on the sidewalk, he loves to play ball or play with his sisters. The youngest dog is Artemis. She is a two year old German Shepherd who cannot stop moving. She loves to play and be outside for as long as she can. I work Monday through Thursday from 8am to 3pm. I am free Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I give pets amble opportunity before I go to work to use the bathroom, eat, and stretch their legs before I leave. When I get back I take the pets out immediately and feed them when scheduled. If I do leave the house, I try not to be gone for more than 4-6 hours. I can follow all of the instructions to the letter. I understand everyone has preferences how their pet is taken care of. I would love to know any quirks or routines your pets may have. I like to update after every visit. For house sitting, I will send photos and an update in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I can provide more updates if desired.
“Chris was great. Kept us updated about our pet, sent tons of photos, and followed our specific care and feeding instructions :) we will definitely re-book with him when able!”

“Tiffany was absolutely amazing with my two puppies! She handled them with so much patience and care, keeping me completely at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent — it made me feel confident they were in great hands. Tiffany went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“After various rover cancellations Brookelyn graciously agreed to sit Max. She was wonderful and had extreme attention to detail & took great care of Max! Looking forward to and hoping she will sit him again soon.”

“Anna was absolutely fantastic! She sent photos everyday keeping me comfortable that my girl was taken well care of and enjoying her presence as well. She was a wonderful house guest and went above and beyond to make it seem like she wasn’t even there. I will definitely be booking Anna in the future.”

“Gabriel did a great job taking care of our dog, Lexi. He was responsible, attentive, and made sure to meet her specific needs. We could tell she was well cared for while we were away, and that gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend Gabriel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Erica was prompt with all communication and I’m pretty sure my home is cleaner than I left it. I appreciated her frequent updates, especially considering our dog can be a handful.

Potomac pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lela was incredible! We had a tough situation where a sitter had an emergency and Lela was able to quickly step in and take over while we were already on vacation. She was so patient with our quirky rescue pups and was so communicative with us. They quickly acclimated to her and she was just a joy to have caring for them!

Mary was awesome from day one. Very responsive. Showed up on time to meet and greet. Even better was her stay. She was great! Bear slept with her and he never does that so he must of felt super comfortable. She sent me lots of pictures and updates. She was on time. Was there the majority of the day with the dogs. Took them out. Loved on them. It was a great experience for the pups at home and some much peace of mind for me states away! I would book her again. Bonus, she was very respectful of the house as well!

Jenny was absolutely fantastic! She kept in touch often throughout her stay, which was very much appreciated. She was caring and considerate for Sweden and Hamish. She treated them as if they were her own dogs. She also took very good care of the house while being away.

Emma was great with our 3 dogs! They enjoyed having her stay with them, and we really appreciated her flexibility on short notice. The pups received the best snuggles and communication was frequent. We will definitely have Emma back in the future! Thanks so much!
