“Valerie did a great job with my kitties. She kept me informed about what they were doing while I was away and sent tons of pictures. I miss my cats when I’m traveling but I know they were in good hands with Valarie and I loved getting pictures and videos everyday.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes since I was seven, providing walks, baths, playtime, feedings, and basic training sessions. My deep compassion and commitment to animals’ well-being sets me apart. I tailor my care to each pup’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether offering patience to a nervous dog, engaging an energetic pup, or providing comfort to a senior pet, I always prioritize their safety and happiness. I understand how important trust is for pet parents, so I treat every dog as if they were my own—with love, kindness, and reliability. I prioritize trust, comfort, and, most importantly, safety when caring for pets. I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously and pay close attention to the little details that help each animal feel secure and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable rather than forcing interaction. I carefully follow household and care instructions and make sure their environment stays clean and secure. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I want every pet in my care to genuinely enjoy their time with me. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, ensuring they feel secure and at ease in my care. For boarding, dogs will have access to designated sleeping areas equipped with ample blankets, stuffed toys, fresh water, and a nighttime treat to help them settle in comfortably. They will also enjoy designated play areas both indoors and outdoors, along with access to nature trails for scheduled walks. There are also dedicated areas for sunbathing and shaded spots for relaxation. For daycare, all amenities are available except for a nighttime sleeping area, ensuring a stimulating and enriching experience throughout the day. Dogs will have space for exercise, play, nap time, and entertainment, with a designated bath area available in case of emergencies. I am located near a quiet, hidden park and a dog park, allowing for safe and enjoyable outings. Additionally, my setup provides enough space to prevent overcrowding, ensuring each dog receives individualized attention and care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities!
“Aliyah took such great care of Pebbles! She had great communication, was punctual, and even called me every day so I could talk to Pebbles on the phone. It was my first time being away from my fur baby since I adopted her so I was a bit worried about how she would react. Aliyah took such great care of her for me which relieved my anxiety and Pebbles’ anxiety too! I am so grateful.”
“Meeka was wonderful in taking care of our two boys while we were out of town for an extended period of time! They were shy at first, but Meeka made sure that they were fed and well taken care of. 💜✨”
“I highly recommend Mickela for your pet sitting needs. She was able to fill a super last min need for drop-ins on my two kitties while I was away for a few days. She responded quickly and was able to meet me at short notice. She was very sweet and the boys took to her immediately. She was great about cleaning up their messes (including a puke surprise left by one of them lol). This was the first time I booked a sitter to do daily drop-ins and I’m so glad I reached out to Mickela. She was such a huge help. 🤗”
About: I’m very dedicated to learning pet breed personalities and learning about your unique furry friend through intuitive care and patience. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking, with activities tailored to each pet’s personality, age, and needs. Walks can include plenty of exercise and opportunities to explore, while drop-ins and sitting visits can include playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m currently working part-time. My schedule allows for flexibility with my time, which will be dedicated to any and all pet care needs. I have a safe smoke-free space where your pet can help themselves to run, play, and rest on a nice soft bed. A home away from home. I can’t wait to meet them!
“Darius was absolutely wonderful with my cat. She is normally slow to warm up to people but she came right over to him and was happy to play with him. She was very well cared for while I was away. I would use Darius again.”
About: I have 3 years of hands-on pet care experience working with both cats and dogs. I’ve been responsible for feeding, walking, playtime, litter box cleaning, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and routines, and I always treat them with patience, care, and respect. I’m reliable, responsible, and comfortable handling different pet personalities, including shy, energetic, and older animals. My goal is to make sure every pet feels at home and well cared for while in my care. I currently don’t have a job, so I have plenty of free time to give pets my full attention. I’m available throughout the day to play with them, take care of their needs, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment for all pets in my care. I have a fenced yard and no other pets in the home, which helps ensure a calm and controlled space. I recommend bringing anything your pet may need, such as food, bedding, toys, or medication, so they stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I am home and available to supervise them, and I make sure they are safe, cared for, and given attention throughout their stay. Whether your pet enjoys playing or prefers a more relaxed environment, I adjust to their needs so they feel comfortable and stress free.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Marlboro
Amoy took great care of my cat Penny while I was away for Thanksgiving break. When my return flight was unexpectedly cancelled, she was incredibly flexible with additional last-minute visits, which was a huge relief. Penny is a senior cat with acid reflux issues, and Amoy handled cleaning up after her when she had flare-ups. I also really appreciated that her daughter spent time playing with Penny. She gets lonely when she’s by herself, so the extra attention meant a lot.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
