About: I love animals and I have always had a variety of pets (both typical and unique) as beloved members of my family or cherished beings I’ve gotten the opportunity to spend time with. Some of the animals I’ve lived with or cared for include: dogs, cats, fish (salt and fresh), birds, hedgehogs, hamsters, reptiles, rabbits, pigs, and many more! I currently live in Petworth with my partner and our 4 beautiful rescue dogs (Havanese-4 y/o, Pomeranian-15 y/o, Husky-10 y/o, and Pittie-6 y/o). Over the years, my diverse and pawfict pack has taught me more and more about pet care. Especially my senior Pomeranian–whom I’ve had the privilege to love since he was a rambunctious puppy–now into his baby grandpa-hood, and hopefully into his twilight years. I look forward to walking dogs and meeting/sitting various pets in our neighborhood. Thank you for considering me to care for your special family member! My schedule can be somewhat flexible - if I know in advance I can change the days/hours I work. I work in my office 8 hours a day, four days a week. My in-office days are (typically) Monday - Thursday, 10 am to 7 pm (because of commute time), so on these days I can walk or visit your pet before or after work. With prearrangement, your pet may even be able to accompany me in office (my 15 y/o Pomeranian comes with me to work). On my work-from-home days, I’m available to sit and work from your home or take a lunch break to walk or drop-in on your pet. On weekends my availability is variable, but I try my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date. My partner and I live in Hyattsville with our 4 dogs (Havanese-Maltese, Pomeranian, Husky mix, and Terrier mix). We have a backyard and 2 separate living spaces in our home, giving us room for extra pups. Our home has one-step entry in the back, making it great for elderly dogs or dogs with joint problems.

“Highly recommend Zach! He has just started walking my dog, Cooper, M-F for the past 2 weeks and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Zach is incredibly reliable and punctual, and he has a natural way with dogs that is evident in how excited Cooper gets whenever he sees him. Also takes fire photos of Cooper too!”


About: I’ve been an animal lover since a kid, and am excited to care for your pet! I’m a grad student in MD and am a proud pet parent of 2 Yorkie-mix dogs. I have experience with pet feeding, long walks, and fun playtime. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs of all sizes. My husband and I are fairly flexible, and I often work from home. We have a large backyard where your dog(s) can safely play and enjoy the outdoors. I’m a grad student who has a very flexible schedule. I walk the dogs around 7:30am, brush their teeth, and set out their food. I also go on midday walks so they are mentally and physically stimulated. My husband takes the dogs out for long walks in the evenings as well. We are happy to include your pets into this schedule or add any additional care into this routine per your request and/or according to your pet’s needs. I have a large yard and 2 lovable pups that can keep your dog(s) company. We go on frequent walks and bathroom breaks around our quiet neighborhood and have tons of play space around the house. I am happy to honor any requests to care for one family’s pets at a time, and will absolutely treat your pet(s) as if they were my own.

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes for about 5 years now. Walking, feeding, playing, and even cuddling are some of my favorite things to do to satisfy the dogs needs as well as the everyday physical requirement. I love being in the presence of animals, so gaining the opportunity to care for them personally would be a delight. I am currently engaged in a part-time law internship so I have an ample amount of time to spread accordingly throughout the week. From early morning hours, to mid-day or even evenings on the weekends or weekdays, I am available. My approach to caring for the pets within the clients home is firstly, abiding by the rules of the home and expectations of the pet. For example, if the dog is not allowed on the couch, I would not want to disrupt that practice during my visit. Secondly, I would provide my undivided attention to the dog, ensuring all of the necessary requirements are met.


“Gregg H. is an excellent dog walker. He’s always reliable and punctual and sends great updates with pictures. My dog Zoomie looks forward to his walk and Gregg makes sure he has a great time. Gregg is very patient and caring with Zoomie and has a genuine passion for animals. I highly recommend Gregg as he goes above and beyond to keep your pet happy and safe.”


About: I have two elderly cats and a handicapped dog that i have experience taking care of. Throughout the years, I have learned how to navigate potentially difficult situations pertaining to interactions with other animals or medical emergencies. I will always treat your pets as if they are my own, because I recognize that a pet is a member of the family and should be treated as such. I am a student at the University of Maryland; I am currently a senior so I have a lot of free time to spend caring for pets. I will follow all directions exactly; my yard is not fenced in but I will gladly visit clients’ houses to care for their pets as needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 including training my own childhood dog. I have worked with labs, bouviers, golden retrievers, terriers, and more! I am working from home so I will have lots of time to spend with your pet. I would love an opportunity to spend the extra time I have with your pet! I am a very patient person & am used to working with all types of dogs. Also, am very organized so no worries with time management!

About: I love pets! My family had a dog and lots of cats growing up so my love of and familiarity with pet care is deep. I have yet to become the mom of a furry as an adult, but I always look for opportunities to spend time with friends who are per parents. I would love to play and cuddle with your little love. I’m new to this app, but DEFINITELY not new to loving pets. I’d love to meet your sweet one. I have time after work on Fridays, all day Saturday and Sunday to board your pets. I am an elementary school teacher who is looking for furry company on the weekends. I'd love to be with your pets for a bit! I will make sure your pets feel safe, secure and loved. A typical day with me and your pet would involve reading their signs. If they want to play I am always ready to play catch or use a toy to engage with your animal. If they'd rather exist in a more calm place I can simply be a safe presence nearby. If they'd like to cuddle, I'm their gal! If I'm boarding your pet, they'll get to enjoy my big backyard. If your pet enjoys the outdoors we can be outside a good bit even after we take a walk, depending on the weather.

“Kasey has been great with our pup. Communicating with her is very easy, which is important to us because we’re gone for 10 hours during the day. It comforts us to know that we have someone we can rely on to check on our little one while we’re at work.”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, from growing up with cats and birds to caring for my shy rescue husky. I’m comfortable working with nervous dogs, senior pets, and administering medication when needed. My focus is always on creating a safe, relaxed environment where pets feel loved and care for. Pet care is women into my daily life. I plan my mornings and evenings around my husky’s walks, feeding and playtime. I’m organized and flexible, so I can reliably fit your pet’s care into my routine and make sure they feel happy and safe while you’re away. Pets feel most comfortable at home, so I focus on maintaining their usual schedule and environment. I carefully follow feeding times, walks, play and medication instructions, all while providing gentle care and plenty of affections to keep them calm and happy while you are away.

“Alexandra has been a wonderful new buddy and walker for my dog. She is patient, communicative, consistent and caring. We’ll definitely be working with her more in the future!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from tiny Chihuahuas to large German Shepherds. I’m comfortable with all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I regularly care for my friends’ dogs when they travel and love building bonds through walks, playtime, and snuggles. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and a lot of love! I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule during the day, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they need, whether it’s for walks, playtime, feedings, or just good company! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I respect clients’ homes and I treat every pet like family because that’s what they are.

About: New homeowners looking to love on more dogs! We work from home and have one extremely kind and playful black lab, Bolt. We grew up with TONS of animals, difficult and easy, big and small. We have a passion for all furry pets and enjoy play sessions, long walks, pets & cuddles, and just talking to them. We believe pet care involves not just food and potty breaks, but also respecting what makes them happiest. Whether your pet likes a ton of attention or likes to be independent, we meet your pet where they are. We welcome meet & greets, video chats, and any other way you'd like to connect. We also love taking Instagram-worthy pics of all our pups and will keep you posted about your pet's stay at all times! We work from home and love taking breaks with our pup and any guests. We live close to several dog parks and walking trails and love going on adventures after work. We have a fenced yard and plenty of running room for the dogs. We are able to separate animals safely with baby gates fir feeding time or to give them rest time. We really look to cater to your animal’s needs. When your dog is comfortable with us, they are happy and we love hanging out with happy dogs!

Marissa Y.
“Marissa Yancone is such a dog lover. But not only is she a dog lover, she is a dog whisperer. She knows how a dog may feel or what they may need, which would make her the best dog walker and the most trustworthy. Personally, I trust Marissa with my life, and she would be so happy to help anyone and make sure they feel safe. Marissa had her dog for over 12 years and has always demonstrated deep care and responsibility for caring for her dog, Cassie. Unfortunately, Cassie passed away last year, leaving Marissa lonely and dogless. However, this opportunity would be so good for her. She is a wonderful person to all and loves loving and caring for anyone, especially dogs. I think she would be a great candidate for walking anyone's dog, or dogs-- plural.”

Sravanthi P.

“I LOVE having my pup Gemma stay with Sravanthi. One of my biggest worries when leaving my pup with somebody is that she will be loved on and will have fun. I never worry about that when she stays with Sravanthi. I know she is going to be cuddled, walked and played with. Her dog, Bolt is also fantastic! Gemma adores him and loves to curl up on the floor with him. Highly recommend leaving your pup in her care, it will be a vacation for them!”
