“Cal & Kelly were so great with Mabel. I was impressed by how they managed the dynamics between the fellow boarding dogs and loved getting pics and videos every day. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our family vacation without worrying about our dog as it was very clear she was well cared for and happy. Thank you, Cal and Kelly!”
“Our second time booking Paola and just a great as the first time! Great communication, flexible, and our boy wasn’t too upset with us for leaving him! We are at ease with Paola taking care of him.”
“This isbout secind time leaving our pup with Kristy and this time it was for about 9 days, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely proactive with updates and sent lots of pictures, which made us feel so comfortable and reassured while we were away. She was very communicative, transparent, and friendly throughout the entire stay, and truly made us feel at ease knowing our puppy was in such good hands. Traveling felt so much less stressful because of her, and we wouldn’t go to anyone else.”
About: I have 20 years of experience with pups. What sets me apart from other sitters is that in less than 5 minutes of us meeting, I am sure your pup will feel right at home. I work especially well with anxious pups, and am able to train the most stubborn pups. I am currently a stay at home mom, and so I would be able to have all hands on deck full time. There will be no distractions. I make them feel as comfortable as possible by providing toys, ample play space, and most importantly (in the eyes of the fur babies at least) I provide lots of treats! Also if your pup enjoys to be walked I will walk them no less than 3 times a day.
“Chad is my go-to dog sitter for a reason. He's watched my dog many times, and every single experience has been perfect. He is 100% reliable, and a great communicator. I can travel without a single worry, knowing my fur-baby is in the best hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Fantastic family that gives loving care to my dog. I bring her to them now for every vacation. They are very responsive to changes in the schedule. And I love the videos they send.”
“Melissa took excellent care of our Teddy! Will definitely use her again for future bookings. Constant updates and photos showed just how much she cares and truly appreciate how Teddy was taken care of!”
“So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.”
“We needed a sitter last minute and our normal sitter was not available. We were so fortunate to find Rebekah who was able to care for our boy Greyson over the 4th of July weekend! Rebekah and her family took such wonderful care of him and made him feel completely at home. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from every update that Greyson was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Rebekah truly treated him like one of her own, and we came home to a content, healthy pup. We are so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and would absolutely trust her to watch Greyson again. Highly recommend Rebekah to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”
“This is our second time leaving our pup with Derek and Christina. Both times we received timely updates, pictures, and super courteous service. Will recommend them to anyone. Thank you again!”
“We always love booking with Alex and Daniel! They provide us with frequent updates and are incredibly responsive. Our dog seems like she is right at home at their place.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“Sharon was an awesome dog sitter for my guy, Eli. He always has a great time there with a huge yard to run around and play in. I had a late train coming back from my trip and Sharon was very understanding and flexible. Could not recommend more”
“Masha and her family took great care of our little pup. They quickly learned his routine and what he likes and doesn't like. I appreciated getting regular and photos and updates!”
About: What Sets Me Apart I offer more than just a standard check-in or walk—I bring a lifetime of genuine animal love combined with specialized, hands-on experience to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and completely understood. Here is what makes my care unique: Senior & Special Needs Expertise: I have a deep understanding of senior pet care. Whether it’s managing medication schedules, recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, or just providing the extra patience and gentle pacing that older pets deserve, your senior companions are in incredibly safe hands. Puppy Training & Energy Management: Navigating the puppy phase requires consistent structure. I love working with young dogs to reinforce basic training, maintain potty routines, and channel all that amazing puppy energy into positive, healthy habits. Multi-Pet & Diverse Species Experience: My home is a sanctuary for all kinds of animals. From handling high-energy dogs and independent cats to caring for unique exotic pets like geckos, I understand the distinct body language and routine requirements of a truly diverse range of species. When your pets are with me, they aren't just being watched—they are being treated with the same deep respect, attentiveness, and family-level care that I give to my own. Pet care isn't just a side task for me—it’s seamlessly woven into the fabric of my daily and weekly structure. Because my routine centers around a flexible, home-based schedule, I am able to provide the consistent, attentive, and highly reliable care that pets thrive on. Here is how I integrate dedicated pet care into my routine: A Natural Part of My Day: Managing a busy, active household means I am already completely dialed into strict daily routines. Feeding schedules, fresh water refills, and multiple potty breaks are second nature to me and easily sync with your pet's specific internal clock. Built-in Movement and Fresh Air: I value keeping active and getting outside. Daily walks and high-energy playtime aren't chores—they are highlights of my schedule that allow me to give your dog the exercise, mental stimulation, and neighborhood exploration they need. Meticulous Environmental Care: Just as I maintain high standards for my own surroundings, keeping a spotless pet environment is part of my regular weekly rhythm. Daily litter box scooping, deep-cleaning food bowls, and organizing pet areas are deeply embedded in my normal cleaning habits. Evenings and Weekends for Quality Time: When the daytime rush winds down, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to winding down, too. This is when I love providing the quiet companionship, gentle grooming, and couch cuddles that keep pets feeling safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. Because my life is set up to balance multiple priorities smoothly, your pet receives structured, dependable care without me ever having to rush their routine. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) When pets stay with me, they aren't kept in isolation—they become part of a structured, lively, and highly attentive household. Seamless Integration: I run my daily business from home, which means your pet enjoys constant human presence and supervision. They are integrated right into our daily rhythm of work, play, and relaxation. A Sanctuary for All Personalities: My home is designed to accommodate different comfort levels. If your dog loves a pack environment, they will have plenty of company. If they prefer a quiet corner to decompress, I have dedicated, cozy spaces where they can rest undisturbed. A Safe, Social Environment: With experienced resident pets of my own, I am highly skilled at managing animal dynamics. Introductions are always handled slowly and safely, ensuring everyone feels secure and respected in the space. Care in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) If your pet prefers the comfort of their own walls, my priority is maintaining absolute consistency, security, and cleanliness while you are away. Flawless Routine Replication: I follow your specific instructions to the letter. Whether it’s feeding at an exact timestamp, following a precise walking route, or administering medication, I ensure your pet's internal clock and habits aren't disrupted. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost respect. In addition to keeping your pets happy, I ensure their environment stays pristine—handling meticulous litter box maintenance, keeping feeding areas spotless, and making sure everything looks exactly how you left it. Security and Peace of Mind: You will receive regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. I also keep a vigilant eye on the security of your home, ensuring doors are locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the property is secure.
“Rebecca took really good care of Nikko! She went beyond to get him food when I didn't give her enough for his stay. I didn't worry once while I was away because I knew she would treat him like her own. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur baby!”
“Boarding my puppy with Amani went great! This was my dog Blob's first time boarding, so I really appreciated all of the photos and videos that Amani sent every day of naptime, playtime, and bathtime. Our pick-up and drop-off also went very smoothly and she kept me updated with how Blob was doing health-wise and potty training-wise. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Amani.”

About: I am a dedicated and reliable pet sitter with a passion for providing top-notch care for your furry family members. With years of experience in pet care, I understand the unique needs of each pet and strive to ensure they are happy, healthy, and comfortable in their own environment. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or playtime, I am committed to offering a loving and attentive service that gives pet owners peace of mind while they are away.
“Connie is fantastic! For the first time ever, I decided to use a drop-in sitter to take care of my two cats while I was on vacation. I figured maybe that would help reduce the anxiety of having to put them in the cat carriers and take them to be boarded. What a difference it made! I had a meet and greet with Connie just before I left, and she was so friendly and so caring. Every day she came by to check on my two boys and sent pictures as well! One of them was too shy to ever come down, but when I arrived home today, he was perfectly happy and healthy. Fantastic experience using Connie and rover, I will definitely use it again whether it be for a short term absence or a longer vacation. What a fantastic service!”
“Excellent job! I am very pleased with the way Isabelle took time to play with my cat. Last time I went away she was so anxious and stressed when I came home because that sitter just went in and out. But this time, my cat was happy to see me and there were no accidents! I will definitely use Isabelle in the future!”
“100% will book again and highly recommend Steven! Steven watched over my 16 year old cat with few health issues that required extra attention. On top of that, we recently lost another cat (her companion for 15 years) and she has been lonely and high stress. We were having second thoughts about leaving on vacation. Steven did an incredible job communicating during the entire trip. He provided daily summary of how she was doing, her appetite, her energy, meds etc. He honestly made our vacation 100% more relaxing and worry free. When we came back our cat was very chill and relaxed, a great sign that she had great company and that she loved Steven. I plan to become a repeat customer and 100% recommend him. Your pet will certainly be in great hands with Steven”
“Sarah has watched my cats a few times now and every time I come home to happy, well loved and well tended cats. She is so kind and loving with them! I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Carla took wonderful care of my two cats, one of whom needs medication and is a bit tricky about taking it, while I was away for a weekend. I really appreciated the updates and photos while I was away!”

But she took such good care of them and even got my loner cat to come out for some love!! Faith is very communicative and I loved that she sent plenty of pictures each day. It’s obvious that she loves the cats and taking care of animals! I will not hesitate to book her next time I’m out of town :)”

About: I provide reliable, attentive, and personalized dog care in my home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels—from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a quieter environment and extra attention. I follow each dog’s routine closely and take the time to learn their individual needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide a calm, structured, and safe environment where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day.

You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication during your dog’s stay so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. Whether your dog loves to play, lounge in the yard, go for walks, or simply relax indoors, I’ll do my best to make their stay feel like a home away from home. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I’m home for most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care so their feeding, walks, rest, and play follow familiar routines. This allows me to be fully present, responsive, and attentive throughout the day and evening. I provide a calm, safe, and structured home environment where dogs are closely supervised at all times. My home has a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and dogs are never left unattended outside. I keep care intentionally small-scale so each dog receives individualized attention. I’m comfortable with crating when needed, following detailed instructions, and accommodating special routines or medications. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication with pet parents are always top priorities, and I provide regular photo and message updates for peace of mind
“Will definitely use Sharon again. Rex had a good time. She sent pics of Rex chilling and playing and having a good time and she was very accommodating of my schedule. I'm grateful for her ?”
“Yosef is FANTASTIC! He took my request (desperate plea) to sit my pup in the final hour and I couldn’t be happier! Batman was mad at ME to leave and fell asleep as soon as we got in the car. I know he had a great time with Yosef and Law and we’re both looking forward to his next visit.”

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with over 25 years of caregiving experience. I have had dogs almost continuously since kindergarten ranging in size from a 5 lb poodle mix (Trooper) to a 95 lb yellow lab (Nala), in addition to 3 years as a parent to 2 cats, Jules and Gemini. Jules was with us only briefly due to her advanced age when she was adopted, while Gemini is a much younger kitten who wasted no time claiming my home as her own. I also recently lost my 10 year old corgi (Sadie) unexpectedly to an extremely aggressive form of cancer, and so would love the opportunity to spend some therapeutic time with your furry kid. Prior to beginning work through Rover, I have several years of experience caring for cats and dogs for a variety of friends, family, and neighbors including everything from drop-in visits and dog walking to full-time house/petsitting. Outside of my petsitting duties, I am a PhD chemist working hard to make the battery in your phone last longer and your electric car drive further. My wife and I moved to the Silver Spring area in 2024 for her job as a television producer and I am in the process of establishing myself in the DMV research community. Availability: Except in special cases, I am available for booking at any time of day, any day of the week. I am happy to provide everything from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays. I am currently working part-time from home, so I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets at any time! This can include drop-in visits to your home, overnight stays with your fur baby, and day-care or boarding at my home (as long as they're friendly with my cat Gemini). I am glad to visit your home as frequently as you prefer. All visits will include checks for water quantity and freshness, any prescribed food refills or walks, and of course play time. I'm also happy to provide overnight care for your pets and home if preferred, please send me a message if you are interested in more long-term visits. I'm also very happy to host your pets in my own home! I have plenty of room for cats and dogs up to 50-70 lbs. Both my wife and I have had pets our entire lives and between the two of us, someone is nearly always home to supervise and provide any needed care. Since I live in an apartment complex, I do not have a private yard but do have plenty of communal space for walks and other outdoor activity.

About: I’ve taken care of and grew up around dogs since I was a kid. I also own a 6-year old dog in MD, my sweet girl Stormi, a German Shepherd/Chihuahua rescue that I’ve raised since 2020. I’ve taught her a few tricks in American Sign Language’s and we’ve also developed a few other communication cues. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine very well! I’m a professional basketball player going overseas much later in the fall! Feel free to negotiate times as I am able to be flexible. I am very alert and have a natural instinct for pet-sitting such as knowing when they’re trying to communicate with me about bathroom time, needing attention, and when something fishy is going on or someone at the door.
About: I have been caring for my own pets for 10+ years and could like to get into formal care. I have also pet sat for my friends and family in the past. As of now I am available daily for pet sitting or walking. I don’t mind waking up early. Would prefer not to be out too late alone. I like to hang out with my dog and take him for walks. He’s pretty lazy though so we just sit together a lot of the time. I will follow any instructions you leave.
About: I've taken care of dogs/lived with them from a young age. I feel comfortable around a variety of dogs and I enjoy those with high energy, lap gos, and everything in between! I have experience dog sitting for my aunt's 10 year old pitbull Blu, over the years. I'm comfortable with drop in visits, walks, park, etc. Whatever your dog needs, I'm your girl! I have pretty open availability to assist with any of your pet care needs due to working a mostly remote job and being able to travel. I will not be hosting animals at my house due to having my own senior cat who prefers her own space (LOL); however, I am comfortable sitting at your house/dog walking. I will treat your pet and house with the utmost respect!
About: What Sets Me Apart I offer more than just a standard check-in or walk—I bring a lifetime of genuine animal love combined with specialized, hands-on experience to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and completely understood. Here is what makes my care unique: Senior & Special Needs Expertise: I have a deep understanding of senior pet care. Whether it’s managing medication schedules, recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, or just providing the extra patience and gentle pacing that older pets deserve, your senior companions are in incredibly safe hands. Puppy Training & Energy Management: Navigating the puppy phase requires consistent structure. I love working with young dogs to reinforce basic training, maintain potty routines, and channel all that amazing puppy energy into positive, healthy habits. Multi-Pet & Diverse Species Experience: My home is a sanctuary for all kinds of animals. From handling high-energy dogs and independent cats to caring for unique exotic pets like geckos, I understand the distinct body language and routine requirements of a truly diverse range of species. When your pets are with me, they aren't just being watched—they are being treated with the same deep respect, attentiveness, and family-level care that I give to my own. Pet care isn't just a side task for me—it’s seamlessly woven into the fabric of my daily and weekly structure. Because my routine centers around a flexible, home-based schedule, I am able to provide the consistent, attentive, and highly reliable care that pets thrive on. Here is how I integrate dedicated pet care into my routine: A Natural Part of My Day: Managing a busy, active household means I am already completely dialed into strict daily routines. Feeding schedules, fresh water refills, and multiple potty breaks are second nature to me and easily sync with your pet's specific internal clock. Built-in Movement and Fresh Air: I value keeping active and getting outside. Daily walks and high-energy playtime aren't chores—they are highlights of my schedule that allow me to give your dog the exercise, mental stimulation, and neighborhood exploration they need. Meticulous Environmental Care: Just as I maintain high standards for my own surroundings, keeping a spotless pet environment is part of my regular weekly rhythm. Daily litter box scooping, deep-cleaning food bowls, and organizing pet areas are deeply embedded in my normal cleaning habits. Evenings and Weekends for Quality Time: When the daytime rush winds down, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to winding down, too. This is when I love providing the quiet companionship, gentle grooming, and couch cuddles that keep pets feeling safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. Because my life is set up to balance multiple priorities smoothly, your pet receives structured, dependable care without me ever having to rush their routine. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) When pets stay with me, they aren't kept in isolation—they become part of a structured, lively, and highly attentive household. Seamless Integration: I run my daily business from home, which means your pet enjoys constant human presence and supervision. They are integrated right into our daily rhythm of work, play, and relaxation. A Sanctuary for All Personalities: My home is designed to accommodate different comfort levels. If your dog loves a pack environment, they will have plenty of company. If they prefer a quiet corner to decompress, I have dedicated, cozy spaces where they can rest undisturbed. A Safe, Social Environment: With experienced resident pets of my own, I am highly skilled at managing animal dynamics. Introductions are always handled slowly and safely, ensuring everyone feels secure and respected in the space. Care in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) If your pet prefers the comfort of their own walls, my priority is maintaining absolute consistency, security, and cleanliness while you are away. Flawless Routine Replication: I follow your specific instructions to the letter. Whether it’s feeding at an exact timestamp, following a precise walking route, or administering medication, I ensure your pet's internal clock and habits aren't disrupted. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost respect. In addition to keeping your pets happy, I ensure their environment stays pristine—handling meticulous litter box maintenance, keeping feeding areas spotless, and making sure everything looks exactly how you left it. Security and Peace of Mind: You will receive regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. I also keep a vigilant eye on the security of your home, ensuring doors are locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the property is secure.
“Carla was on time and sent me pictures of the walk she took with my dog. I appreciate her help and she has been flexible with my confusing schedule. Would recommend and plan to use her services again in the future.”
About: I started caring for pets when I was 13, beginning with my own dog, Peanut, and my kitty, Cookie. Since then, I’ve had the joy of caring for many different animals, including birds, chickens, hamsters, bunnies, and even goats! I truly love all animals and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. It would be a pleasure to care for your babies and give them all the attention and affection they deserve! ❤️🐾 I’m available full-time throughout the week, including mornings and afternoons, so your pets can always receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and gentle care daily. ❤️ I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and is treated like family with patience and affection. ❤️
About: Individual with a BS degree in animal science who loves animals of all kinds and would love to keep your furry family members as happy, active, and healthy as possible while you are away! I have over 1000 hours working with animals in all aspects from basic husbandry and pet sitting to veterinary clinical care! Due to my busy schedule working a full time job at a veterinary clinic, my services are best suited to individual walks or drop in visits on my days off (usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays), or sitting for pets that are able to be left alone for 9+ hours at a time. I do not have any pets of my own and am child free, so I can easily provide overnight pet sitting for clients if they would prefer rather than just being present during the day.
“Leroy was so good with my boy even when he would pull his leash out of excitement and just handled him really well. He listened to all download. I gave him about Ranger and put me at ease immediately. I was out of town for work so he picked my boy up from my parents and ended up chatting with them. Also just showing what an overall friendly and helpful person he is I would recommend him to others and my Boy being a lab is strong and he handled him really well.”
“Joe took great care of our Lola girl. We have a boxer puppy with a lot of energy and Joe was able to handle her well. They got along the first time they met and from the photos he sent during their walks, it looked like they both enjoyed each others company. We’re grateful for Joe’s patience with Lola and will be booking him again. Thank you Joe!”
“Brandon is very punctual. He asked all the right questions to be informed on Bella’s needs. As soon as he walked in Bella loved him right away and was very affectionate and comfortable with Brandon. Definitely will be booking Brandon again”

“Cal & Kelly were so great with Mabel. I was impressed by how they managed the dynamics between the fellow boarding dogs and loved getting pics and videos every day. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our family vacation without worrying about our dog as it was very clear she was well cared for and happy. Thank you, Cal and Kelly!”
“Fantastic family that gives loving care to my dog. I bring her to them now for every vacation. They are very responsive to changes in the schedule. And I love the videos they send.”
“So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.”
“This is our second time leaving our pup with Derek and Christina. Both times we received timely updates, pictures, and super courteous service. Will recommend them to anyone. Thank you again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“Masha and her family took great care of our little pup. They quickly learned his routine and what he likes and doesn't like. I appreciated getting regular and photos and updates!”

“Rebecca took really good care of Nikko! She went beyond to get him food when I didn't give her enough for his stay. I didn't worry once while I was away because I knew she would treat him like her own. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur baby!”
“Boarding my puppy with Amani went great! This was my dog Blob's first time boarding, so I really appreciated all of the photos and videos that Amani sent every day of naptime, playtime, and bathtime. Our pick-up and drop-off also went very smoothly and she kept me updated with how Blob was doing health-wise and potty training-wise. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Amani.”
“Sarah was so accommodating and such a natural dog lover. She took our request for a 3-day stay at the last minute and made our big puppy feel right at home. Not only did she keep in great contact with me throughout my trip, but she also kept Suly active - taking him for long walks multiple times a day. I would HIGHLY recommend Sarah!”
“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“Tasha took great care of Ruthie and was super flexible with last minute requests when our flight back got delayed. Lots of nice daily updates. Would definitely use again!”
“The entire stay was smooth and enjoyable. Chloe made sure to update me during zula’s stay by sending videos and pictures. Drop off and pick up both also went smoothly. Definitely recommend this stay!”
“Payton and her husband were awesome! Our dogs had such an incredible time with them, they almost didn’t want to leave. They provided updates regularly and lots of mental stimulation and walks for our pups. Can’t wait to use them again!”
“Geneen was a fantastic host for our dog. Multiple updates per day, great communication and coordination, and above all a house filled with love. We will definitely use her again!!!”
About: I’ve had 7 dogs over the last 24 years, two lived to be 18 and 19 yrs old. I was known for many years as the Brookland Dog Lady. This is the only time in my adult life that I have only one dog. I currently have one 2-year-old Cockapoo named Peaches. Peaches loves most dogs and people and is generally confident and submissive. She’s very good with large, young, and old dogs alike. My house is fairly quiet. Over my 24 years of experience with my own dogs and watching friends dogs, I have dealt with just about every health problem and ailment. I am experienced with puppies, seniors, providing insulin, doggie diapers, prescriptions and just about anything else you can think of. I love walking dogs through my neighborhood. I have a fully fenced backyard as well. I work primarily from home so I can provide a lot of attention and supervision. They are like children to me. I work from home so I’m never gone for more than a few hours. My daily schedule starts with breakfast for me and my dog, Peaches. I then take her out immediately to the backyard for a potty break. I then get ready for my day and work from home. I walk my dog in the afternoon every day with additional yard breaks throughout the day. We often stop to play with other dog friends along the way. I can do a second walk each day if needed. I feed her again around 6pm. I let her out again in the yard before bed. They would sleep in my bedroom at night - either on the floor in a dog bed or in bed with Peaches and me. I do have a doggy door that she can use as needed, but I do go out with her whenever she goes outside. I have a 7 ft wooden fence around my yard. I also have a gate across my front porch so that if any dog were to get out of the front door, they would not be able to get off the porch. Dogs are always leashed when outside of my yard. I have watched and cared for many dogs for my friends, family and neighbors over the years. I have also been "dogmother" (designated in the will to care for a dog if anything had happened to their human) by several friends and family.
