“Tasha is so amazing! She’s such a wonderful sitter. I boarded my dog with her sometime last year and she gave updates and took such great care of him and so when I needed to board him overnight I didn’t need to give a second thought on who to choose!”
“Our pup Winston has stayed with Jeff a few times now and gets excited as soon as we pull up to his house. It gives us such peace of mind to know that he’s happy and well taken care of!”
“Ms. Pam is very patient and professional. Thank you for looking after our Sweet Fur Baby Boy Kishon while we were away. She made us very comfortable & sent us pics, and updates on his stay with her. We appreciate all you do. Kishon loves to play with Ms. Pam Sweet Fur Girl Cassie also. He can’t wait for the next stay🐶🦴”
“Paula was an amazing sitter. From comforting me when my pup was acting out of character, to providing excellent care and attention to my pup during his stay. She provided detailed updates complete with pictures and videos. Definitely stumbled on a gem of a sitter with Paula.”
“Cal & Kelly took great care of my senior pup, Amber Louise, for nearly 3 weeks. I received daily pictures and updates on how Amber was doing and this gave me peace of mind while I was away. Cal was quick to respond to any questions I had and I could tell Amber was well taken care of from the pictures and when I picked her up. Thank you Cal & Kelly for taking such good care of my sweet and precious girl.”
“Precious was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout Orlando’s 5-day and kept us updated with plenty of great pictures. We could tell through the pictures and consistent communication that our pup was comfortable and being well taken care of. We had a great experience and will definitely be using Precious again”
“Chad, Regina, and family are hands down the best dog sitters on Rover! Reliable, puppy loving, communicative, friendly, making a home away from home for our dog who runs from the car to their door like she is visiting family. Our go to dog sitters for every vacation we take!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy to have come across this site and even happier to have come across Ms. Estela. We had an absolute wonderful experience with her. From the beginning she was very friendly, helpful, and communicative. She provided updates and daily pictures of Santy and kept us informed of his well being. As much as we were anxious leaving our dog behind for few days, she made us feel comfortable that he was in good hands. There are no words that could describe my gratitude for Estela’s service. I would definitely be using her service in the near future and 100% recommend her to anyone that needs a loving animal care taker.”
“Nicole and family did an amazing job with Zack! He had such a great time that he's now exhausted 😴👍. Their kindness, responsiveness, and care were truly appreciated – thank you for making our experience so special!”
“Coralis recently watched Brinkley while I went out of town. She is so good with him even though he is anxious and nervous when I’m gone. It sounds like she tries so hard to make him comfortable and happy while I’m away. She took extra good care of him during some bad weather in which he was terrified of the thunder. I so appreciate everything she does for him!!”
“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.”
“Malvi and Andrej took such wonderful care of our dog Clover while we were out of town. We got multiple updates with photos each day and never worried that she wasn’t getting the best care. Malvi and Andrej really understand dog behavior, how to manage multiple dogs safely and keep all the pups happy. Thank you so much!”
“Nadia was spectacular! She walked Ginsburg regularly and kept us updated on her activities, most regularly with photos. She wanted to send more updates, but I shared that it was unnecessary. Periodically would be fine. As a new owner of a 6-month-old puppy, and a first-time boarder, I know that puppy-energy can sometimes be a challenge. Nadia took it all in stride, providing a safe and suitable environment…and assuaging any trepidations we may have had as first-time Rover users. Thx, Nadia!”
“My previous Rover family left the area so I reached out to Aaron and Paweena, who quickly scheduled a meet & greet and asked good questions that left me confident that the would care for my girl. They invested extra time with her to overcome initial homesickness and even let her sleep on their bed.”
“Crystal was amazing with Dasher. This was his first time being with her and she did a wonderful job. I love pictures that she sends everything day and the process report. I will be taking him back to her. Thanks ❤️”
“Payton is awesome and she truly cares for my dogs. She takes really good care of them and gives me plenty of updates (pictures, video, and messages) while they're in her care. She is the only one in this area that I trust to watch my dogs!”
About: I grew up with a dog and cat that made me realize at a young age just how important they are in the household. That’s why when I got my own place, I knew I had to adopt! My beloved dog, Laya, has recently passed so I figured this would be a great time to provide my home to others needing a temporary safe, loving space. I’m extremely outdoorsy, so going on a walk, run or whatever your canine companion may want is more than okay with me! Playing fetch and tug-o-war is part of my daily activities... Oh! And don’t forget the belly rubs! My love for animals has peaked over the years, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to help them and their human companions live a happy, pawsitive, and adventure-filled life. :) I currently am only open on weekends due to my 9-5 job during the week and wanting to have enough time for your furry loved one. Any needs your pup/animals requires can absolutely be accomplished. I love cuddles on the couch to long hikes or runs any time of the day. Naps are also important!
“My active pug had a great stay with Colleen and family. I knew he was in great hands and they kept in touch with pics of Vinny and their lab Lily. Lucky to have found them!”

“Grace responded quickly to my request and was patient with me while I had a crazy day when my normal sitters were not available! She followed all the instructions perfectly after a quick phone call and I could tell my kitty was happy with how quiet he was when I got home! Truly appreciative of sitters like Grace who can make themselves available in times like this and would definitely use her again! Dusty would be happy to see you :)”
“Izcali did an amazing job checking in on my two kitties while I was away!! Every day she sent amazing photos and she made sure they were well taken care of :) she played with them every day and when we came home the cats were healthy and happy. I had such peace of mind leaving the cats in Izcali’s care and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter”
“Sharmily was wonderful! Great communicator and followed my cat care instructions to a T. Will definitely rebook with her. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby while I was on vacation!”
“This is the second time Erica has taken care of my cat, Nyla, and I will continue to be a repeat client! I received plenty of photos during the drop in visits and Erica followed all the instructions I left.”
“Coralie is always so responsible and professional! I had to be away from my cat for nearly 2 weeks, and her detailed updates and wonderful care left no room for worry. She also did a wonderful job administering his meds and keeping him comfortable. Thank you!”
“Ashley was amazing… from our first conversation onward. Super responsive. Clearly loves animals and is amazing with them. She watched our two cats (one super friendly but needs meds 2x daily) and one who takes A LOT of patience but is friendly in his own weird way. Would recommend Ashley for all your pet sitting needs… we definitely hope to book her again for our next trip.”
“Carinna was amazing! She was very reliable and communicative. She went above and beyond as a caregiver for our 20+ year old cat, including delivering treats when he couldn't be bothered to use the stairs. Her time here really made for a worry-free vacation, I would definitely recommend her!”
“We really appreciate Zach being available and taking such good care of our three cats and our one foster cat! He navigated our house well and treated all the cats with tenderness. Thank you!”
About: I have been owning and sitting all breeds and behavior types of kitties since I was a child, from neighbors to friends and independent clients! I can administer medication orally and topically and am hyper-attentive to noticing behavior or environment changes.
“Maria was so wonderful with our cat Lucy. Lucy is a bit shy but I could tell from the pictures and videos Maria sent me daily that Lucy was comfortable and having a a great time with Maria’s company. Maria was very reliable and even showed up for us on Thanksgiving Day. She sent me a report every day to let me know how the visit went and how Lucy was doing. We hate leaving our Lucy alone for a few days but it was a great comfort to know she was taken such great care of by Maria while my daughter had to go out of town. I will definitely use Maria again if we need a pet sitter in the future and I’m so grateful for her wonderful care of our sweet Lucy.”
“Lindsay did a great job caring for our cat! He can be a little shy with new people but he warmed up to Lindsay quickly and even let her rub his belly. from the cute photos she sent, it looks like our cat had a great time playing and cuddling with her.”
About: I grew up in a rural family surrounded by animals, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, my family has had several dogs of different sizes and personalities, as well as cats. I have a particularly strong connection with dogs, and people tend to trust me with their pets because I am very gentle, patient, and attentive. I have a naturally nurturing personality and I genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, basic care, and following each pet’s usual routine. I understand that every dog has a different personality and pace, so I always adapt my care to what makes them feel most at ease. I’m currently a PhD student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to adapt easily to different pet care needs. I can often accommodate walks, drop-in visits, daytime care, and overnight stays throughout the week. My academic work also means I spend a lot of time working independently, so I can organize my routine around your pet’s usual schedule and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and feel more comfortable and relaxed. I can follow their usual routine closely, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship. I’m very patient and attentive, and I always try to make pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have owned different breeds of dogs over the last 10+ years. I am highly experienced in training, walking, feeding, bathing, playing with dogs, etc. I have a mature, friendly 6 year old beagle of my own who loves to meet new friends and enjoys company! I am home 7 days of the week and do school virtually, so I am able to be extremely attentive of pets under my care. I walk my pets multiple times daily around College Park, MD where they receive lots of attention, I also have a fenced in play area attached to my living space. I work from home/do school virtually, so I am home 7 days out of the week! I am able to be extremely attentive of pets under my care. I have a fenced in play area where other dogs also play attached to my living space, I walk my pets multiple times daily, exploring new places and pretty sights! I have roommates who also assist in supervising pets under my care, when I have to run out for errands. Pets are always supervised!
About: I’ve had cats since I was born. I have a deep love for animals that’s it’s bled into my career! I study wildlife for a living. I’ve worked at a kennel that boarded cats, and I’ve cat sit for many of my friends and bosses. I am passionate to give you the best experience and not be worried about your babies while you go away. (:

“Our first time leaving our two boys and Jeff was absolutely fantastic! One of our pups Murray is 15 and gets a little anxious, but Jeff calmed him down and made him feel so comfortable in his “home away from home”. Our 3 year old Monty had a ball sitting in Jeff’s lap and running around with the other pups. You can tell how much experience Jeff has with taking care of dogs with his calm, caring manner and we’re so glad to have found him!”
“Precious and Devin were absolutely great hosts!! They kept me informed and made sure to communicate with me throughout the day! I really appreciate how warm and welcoming they were and the excitement that had in hanging with Bernard for the day! I could tell he enjoyed himself!! Highly recommend booking with them and will continue to do for future stays!”
“Our pup Bella had a great time with Pamela during doggy day care. My wife and I appreciated Pamela taking such good care of her while we were at work, and we loved the photo updates she sent!”
“Amani was an absolute angel during her care of Nyla! She was patient with my hovering dog mom ways, and communicated enough to ensure that I felt comfortable. She even threw in an impromptu bath at my request! Nyla will definitely be staying with Amani again. I recommend her 100%.”
About: Many of my friends often trust me with their dogs and cats which gives me a variety of experiences with many different ages and breeds I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I enjoy having them around the house with me. My house is currently pet free so your animal will of course have free roam of the house and plenty of space to roam around freely.
“I'm really grateful that I found Jeremy through Rover so my son and I could go visit Timpanogos cave! Her puppy and my puppy got to play and mine was tired after, which was nice too.”

“Mei regularly cares for my older dog Bear and she does a fantastic job. She takes him on walks and I feel confident that he will have a wonderful day in her care. I highly recommend Mei!”
“Aaron & Paweena were great and accommodated me so last minute! My sweet boy can be a bit nervous at first when it comes to settling in but he had such a great day and was absolutely exhausted by the end of the day! I came back to him chewing on a treat they gave him & he barely acknowledged me picking him up lol this won’t be my last time booking!”
“Thank you for taking care of our baby! Nicole was great - patient with Ethel, who was a little anxious. If we are ever looking for a sitter near DC again, we will absolutely reach out again!”
“Cosmic loves coming to Cal and Kelly’s! Cal and his family treat her like their own and I always know she’s safe and well taken care of! She always comes home tired after playing with her friends all day.”
About: I've had lots of experience with dogs in my life! Through high school I worked at a grooming salon washing dogs of all different sizes and temperaments. My beloved rat-chi passed away last year and I've been watching friends' and co-workers' dogs since then of all different shapes and sizes. There's a special place in my heart for seniors and lap dogs, but I absolutely love dogs of any size. I'm strong, fit and assertive enough to feel comfortable with dogs 80+ pounds, and intuitive and sensitive enough to cater to the little guys! I'm great with people too - I'm happy to listen to what your dog's needs and routines are and honor those as if they were my own fur babies. Pets are like people and they all have their own wonderful personality. I genuinely look forward to getting to know your special dog! My job is part-time and flexible - I'm home most weekdays for the majority of the day, and weekends can be tailored to your pet. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space for your dog to safely explore and play (always with supervision, of course!). I currently don't own any pets so yours is the star of the show! I'm used to dogs who are crate trained, but if your dog is not crate trained, I am happy to accommodate them as long as they are not property-destructive and as long as they are potty trained. I'll give your dog as much attention and/or space as they like in the home, whether they're feeling shy, clingy, tired or playful. It's normal for dogs to feel out of sorts in a new home with their parents away, and I'm happy to be their new buddy, making sure they feel safe and calm.
“Josefa was wonderful with our dog Toby (mini schnauzer, 8 yrs old, 30 lbs) when she looked after him for the day. She was so warm, welcoming, communicative, and made sure that Toby was comfortable while in her care. Toby was super relaxed when we picked him up, which is a great sign. We're so glad to have found Josefa and will absolutely reach out again for doggy day care. Highly recommended! :)”
“Rita was absolutely amazing with my dog, Natalie! Natalie can be reactive and typically needs time to adjust to new environments and people, but Rita went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable and supported. She took the time to really understand Natalie’s needs, triggers, and what makes her happy, which made such a difference. I really appreciated the regular photo updates and how communicative she was throughout—checking in, asking thoughtful questions, and keeping me reassured the entire time. It’s clear Rita genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort, and because of that, Natalie had a great experience. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Rita!”
“Yosef is a great choice! My dog Francis loves going to visit him and the pack. Francis always comes home confident and relaxed, and I get to breathe and chill when i get home knowing he had a fun filled day.”
About: I'm a lifelong dog owner/lover who is also about a year and a half into learning how to be a cat mom. It's a pretty tight competition between my 8yo son and my 6yo beagle as to who loves dogs more. I work from home so if your pet doesn't like to be alone, that is not a problem. Walks and brushings are daily activities. Since the animals are allowed on the furniture the daily brushing is a must. Our cat has asthma and uses a daily inhaler, so if your pet also has medical issues/needs, they will fit right in. I've been petsitting for years for friends and family and would love to host your loved one as well. I work from home and occasionally have meetings or appointments during the day, so regular walks and lots of attention are easily managed. I also work for myself, so I have the ability to set my schedule. My backyard is fenced in, so unexpected potty needs or sunbathing are always accommodated. No space or piece of furniture is off limits to pets in my home.
About: Hello World! My name is Rouday and I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. In those 25 years I have had the privilege of raising three dogs, all different shapes and sizes. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, playing with them at dog parks, and loving up on my furry friends. I currently have an extremely flexible schedule as I work remotely and control my own workflow. I also have two young children that require schedule flexibility. Very safe secure building, which includes dedicated dog walking areas, and also room to groom pets as well. Location is also close to some great parks and walking paths that dogs will enjoy
About: I have grown up with dogs from a young kid and they have always been a constant in my life. My kids always had at least 2 dogs in the house and even though they are gone, I still loving pets around. I specifically like to take care of small to medium dogs, senior dogs, and dogs that are house trained. I am very excited to start this journey on Rover and meet and take care of your dogs. I am retired and am at home full-time which gives me the availability to fully cater to your dogs. I like to go on walks in my neighbourhood and spend time in my fenced in backyard. I have a fenced in backyard with plent of room to play and run around. I also have a very walkable neighbourhood and have an extra room for your pet to have their space.
About: Dogs have been my best friends since childhood. Caring for them isn’t just a job—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. From long walks to belly rubs, bath time to playtime, I treat every dog like family. Whether your pup needs a cozy overnight stay, a fun afternoon of fetch, or just some extra TLC while you're away, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I am currently a stay at home parent with plenty of time to spend with your fur baby so they are never alone. They can have frequent bathroom breaks as needed as well as play time in the back yard. I am available weekdays and weekends as well. I have a huge fenced back yard and my 13 year old fur baby to help keep their company . I can also crate on request although I do not like crating.

About: My whole life I have owned dogs, so I am very confident dealing with dogs of any size/age. Additionally, I am an animal lover and will make sure you always have updates on your pet!

About: I’ve had two wonderful dogs since they were 10 weeks old. We’ve completed dog training classes together and I’ve learned all about pet care through them. Im currently working from home and never travel because I have a toddler son and 2 dogs, so im often available on weekends for pet care and during the week for walks I have two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and a large house for plenty of play space. I’m also experienced with picky eating dogs.
About: Hello! My name is Mia and my experience with animals even from a young age I’ve always loved them. Im also an animal science major so besides my experience with companion animals I have experience with farm animals. I also work at a doggy daycare throughout my breaks and summer time so 40 hours a week im constantly around doggies! I’m currently taking classes at university of Maryland college park but usually afternoons mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends I’m totally and would love the opportunity to house sit or walk dogs! The way in which I would make sure your pet is taken care of either in my home or yours would definitely consist of taking them on a walking, feeding depending on what you have for them and the correct amount, possibly rewarding good behavior etc.
“Trinity has been an excellent daytime walker for my dog. She’s reliable and communicative, but most importantly she takes great care of my pup. I definitely would recommend her to anyone interested.”
About: I've owned my own personal pets for the past 8 years, including a snake, dog, and cat. I've also worked with a variety of species in my educational, personal, and professional life. I work summers in a high-stress environment (clinic/boarding facility) where I am responsible for the day-to-day needs, grooming, and occasional medicating of animals. I own my own animals, so get hands-on-experience with animals everyday! Additionally, as a pre-veterinary major at UMD, College Park, I learn not only the practical ways to work with them, but the scientific reasoning behind why animals do what they do. I also work with them professionally during the summer, when I am not at school. I will not provide services from my home (due to owning my own animals, family at home, etc.). However, any rules set by the owners would be followed to the letter, and I am also extremely capable of making choices in the best interest of both animals and people involved in situations, due to my history of involvement with animals!
About: I volunteered at the Milwaukee Humane Society doing dog walking for one year with dogs of all ages, backgrounds, and sizes! I also have taken care of 1 senior dog for a year, 2 pups for a couple weeks, and 3 dogs (two being seniors!) for 2 years. In addition to this, I have 14 years of equine experience (14 years of riding, 8 of chores, and 3 of farm staying), and I've also watched goats, ducks, and chickens on these beautiful farms! I've watched cats many times as well, on the farm and at people's homes! I'm confident with medications and different personalities because of these experiences. I'm a full-time student currently, so my weeks are pretty open! I am very flexible and will always be able to make time for your pet. Early mornings and evenings are my most available times! I am a very attentive caretaker who followers instructions precisely. Seriously, precisely - I will ask lots of questions if I'm confused! I love spending time with pets, whether playing or relaxing. I have one cat, Puma, who is very pampered.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 10 years of personal experience caring for dogs and cats. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, with my third dog passing a little over a year ago, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets withe different needs and personalities. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs. One of my dogs was diagnosed with diabetes, so I have over 3 years of experience administering medications and insulin injections. With multiple dogs in the house, I’ve had plenty of experience keep track of different diets, medications, and routines at the same time. I also have experience with anxious and reactive pets, and I understand the importance of being patient, attentive to their body language, and know how to learn the different personality of your pet. I know that every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow any instructions to help your pet feel most comfortable. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention that I give my own. Whether they need a long walk, playtime, medication, or just some love and attention, I want you to feel confident that they’re being well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a college senior, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for boarding on weekends as well as extended stays throughout the week. I do have classes Monday-Thursday, but I have long breaks throughout the day that will allow me to return for check-ins, walks, and spending time with your pet. Outside of class, I’m home frequently and have plenty of time to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand that I am entering both their space and their pet’s territory. I always approach pets patiently and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I will closely follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules so that your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible. I will treat your home with respect and make sure your pet receives the same care and attention that I would give my own.
About: Hi! I’m Bella Mason! I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14, grew up surrounded by animals, and even started my own pet-sitting business back home, which did really well! I’ve always had a huge love for animals and strive to be a reliable sitter who makes every pet feel like family. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies and just want someone you can trust to take the best care of them! I have experience with all types of animals, from dogs + cats, to goats, chickens, and hedgehogs. I am a college student at the University of Maryland. I would prefer not to schedule anything on Wednesdays, because that is my late night of classes, but all other days I am able to drop in before and after my classes. I unfortunately cannot petsit in my apartment, but I love to ask my client's to provide me "instructions" with every detail possible. I like to do meet-in-greets with animals/clients to ensure it is a good fit. I will follow instructions closely and precisely to ensure their routine stays in-tack.
About: Hi! My name is Aubrey, and I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years caring for all kinds of animals — from household pets to farm animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether they’re playful puppies and kittens or senior pets needing extra patience and care. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy care, training, routines, and the patience and attention young dogs need. As a college student and future grad student at UMD, I have a very flexible schedule, especially over the summer and into next semester. I’m available for overnight stays, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, medication administration, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand every pet has different needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college and future grad student here at UMD, I have a flexible schedule with availability for overnights, walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure to ask questions not only about your puppy but your house and regular routines. Health in animals is very important while you’re away so I always ask to have detailed notes or instructions.
About: Growing up, caring for animals wasn’t just a hobby—it was a responsibility I took on from a young age. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve been helping stray animals by providing food, basic care, and safe spaces whenever possible. That early experience shaped my deep understanding of animal behavior, especially with shy, anxious, or previously neglected pets. In addition to hands-on experience with strays, I’ve volunteered at pet rescue organizations where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, socializing animals, and preparing them for adoption. This has given me experience with pets of all temperaments, including those who need extra patience and attention. Pet sitting has become a steady and meaningful part of my daily routine while I am unemployed. It gives structure to my day, keeps me active, and provides a sense of responsibility. Caring for animals, managing feeding schedules, and ensuring their comfort helps me stay productive while also earning some income and maintaining a positive mindset during this transitional period. --- I do not have pets of my own, but I provide attentive and reliable care for pets in both my home and my clients’ homes, depending on the service requested. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, while also ensuring the home remains clean and secure. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with regular supervision, exercise, and consistent routines to help pets feel at ease. My focus is always on maintaining the pet’s normal schedule and providing a calm, caring experience.
About: I would love for you all to know about my experience with pet sitting, so I would like to start with a quick story. When I was turning five, my grandpa took me to a pet shop the day before my birthday. After feeding the neighborhood cats and playing with the stray puppies, I just knew I’d come home with a dog of my own that day. I was elated — that is, until we left and I was the owner of a bird. As a five year old, I was disappointed! But I grew to love the bird as I realized I loved other animals. And by the time I turned 12, I finally did have pup of my own. I tell that story to say, I have years of personal experience caring for pets, whether they were my own or not. In my family home, we currently have an elderly dog and a teenaged cat - in my apartment, we have a one year old kitten. I love pets of all ages and sizes and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! You can trust that I’ll give them lots of love and cuddles in your absence! I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible - the main thing I’d have to take into account is commuting! Once I’m there, I’ll have tons of time to spend with your pet, or take them on as many walks as needed. My goal is to make sure you and your pet are happy and comfortable throughout this process! If your pet seems overwhelmed or nervous with me at first, I’ll know how to read this body language and I’ll give them the time and space they need to open up to me. If they want cuddles, they can have as many as they need! I’ll communicate openly with you to ensure your comfort level and trust, and I’ll make sure you and your pet are my top priority!

“Tasha is so amazing! She’s such a wonderful sitter. I boarded my dog with her sometime last year and she gave updates and took such great care of him and so when I needed to board him overnight I didn’t need to give a second thought on who to choose!”
“Amani was very responsive and flexible with me around Boba Fett’s care. Boba enjoyed playing with her and her son and snuggling and I was able to relax at the beach in the heat with my human babies.”
“Cal & Kelly took great care of my senior pup, Amber Louise, for nearly 3 weeks. I received daily pictures and updates on how Amber was doing and this gave me peace of mind while I was away. Cal was quick to respond to any questions I had and I could tell Amber was well taken care of from the pictures and when I picked her up. Thank you Cal & Kelly for taking such good care of my sweet and precious girl.”
“Would 100% recommend Christina she made my baby boy feel comfortable and safe. He had such a great time I could tell from all the pictures and especially when I picked him up. He’s only 7 months old, still potty training, a picky eater and this was my first time leaving him with anyone else so I was EXTREMELY worried but Christina took such great care of him, ensured he was comfy at night time and could sleep well and he didn’t miss a meal which is amazing as sometimes he refuses to eat. Thank you so much Christina!”
“Precious was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout Orlando’s 5-day and kept us updated with plenty of great pictures. We could tell through the pictures and consistent communication that our pup was comfortable and being well taken care of. We had a great experience and will definitely be using Precious again”
“Bria took care of our 40 lb pooch for a long weekend in October. It seemed like Mocha had a great time. The fact that Bria owns a dog was a plus for Mocha, since they got along well. I think the starting point for a lot of services including pet sitting is good clear communication and this is a strength for Bria. She is easy to reach, easy to make arrangements with, and quick to follow-up. She is interested in a good experience for the pet and attentive to details regarding any particular pet, which puts an owner's mind at ease. Good frequency of photos during Mocha's stay to give us a sense that things were alright. Also Bria's location is great for Petworth area - convenient and near the center of things but with a nice peaceful section of neighborhood for walks. Overall great experience and we would recommend her and have Mocha with her again.”
“Coralis recently watched Brinkley while I went out of town. She is so good with him even though he is anxious and nervous when I’m gone. It sounds like she tries so hard to make him comfortable and happy while I’m away. She took extra good care of him during some bad weather in which he was terrified of the thunder. I so appreciate everything she does for him!!”
“Malvi and Andrej took such wonderful care of our dog Clover while we were out of town. We got multiple updates with photos each day and never worried that she wasn’t getting the best care. Malvi and Andrej really understand dog behavior, how to manage multiple dogs safely and keep all the pups happy. Thank you so much!”
“My previous Rover family left the area so I reached out to Aaron and Paweena, who quickly scheduled a meet & greet and asked good questions that left me confident that the would care for my girl. They invested extra time with her to overcome initial homesickness and even let her sleep on their bed.”
“Chloe came back in such great spirits and as if we were never gone! Jena took great care of her and was super attentive to my older dogs little quirks! Would definitely reach out again if needed!”
“Katya was great! We did a meet and greet, and it was clear Lenny felt comfortable in her home and loved her yard. Katya was communicative, shared photos, and kept us updated on how Lenny was doing. Lenny came home happy and relaxed, having met some new friends. We will book again - thank you, Katya!!”
“Payton is awesome and she truly cares for my dogs. She takes really good care of them and gives me plenty of updates (pictures, video, and messages) while they're in her care. She is the only one in this area that I trust to watch my dogs!”
About: I grew up with a dog and cat that made me realize at a young age just how important they are in the household. That’s why when I got my own place, I knew I had to adopt! My beloved dog, Laya, has recently passed so I figured this would be a great time to provide my home to others needing a temporary safe, loving space. I’m extremely outdoorsy, so going on a walk, run or whatever your canine companion may want is more than okay with me! Playing fetch and tug-o-war is part of my daily activities... Oh! And don’t forget the belly rubs! My love for animals has peaked over the years, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to help them and their human companions live a happy, pawsitive, and adventure-filled life. :) I currently am only open on weekends due to my 9-5 job during the week and wanting to have enough time for your furry loved one. Any needs your pup/animals requires can absolutely be accomplished. I love cuddles on the couch to long hikes or runs any time of the day. Naps are also important!
“They took really great care of Willow and created videos of her having fun! Really responsive and would recommend if you want your dog to be treated like family :)”
“Amazing! My dog and I are joined at the hip and I don’t love leaving her just anywhere! Rouday was so kind and my dog took good care of him right away. His flexibility and graciousness with me almost stood out more than his professionalism and care with my dog. Highly recommend!!!”
“Austin and Majid took great care of our pup while we were away for a week. Our dog is a rescue with a history of some behavioral issues, and what drew us to them is that they were very comfortable and confident in taking care of pups with all kinds of temperaments. We appreciated the updates and felt great knowing she was safe and well-cared for.”
“Maryjo and Jon were such caring and attentive dog sitters for our Carlton. They have tons of experience with dogs, and it shows! Thanks for loving our boy for a weekend!”
“Rodrigo did a great job taking care of my sweet Frenchie, Bella. He sent me daily pictures and made sure to listen carefully to my care instructions. His own dog, Luna, was a great playmate to Bella and she came home happy and exhausted. I'd definitely use Rodrigo again!”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
