They were super responsive to our questions during the stay and arranging pickup/drop off was very seamless. We would definitely recommend Cal and Kelly for ensuring your dog has a great time in a caring, home environment and will remember them for future stays!”

This was our second time booking him and both time we've come home to happy cats! He handles their complicated routines very well, gives medicine without a problem, and even makes time to play. He takes the time to figure out what makes the cats happy. And he takes good pictures. We appreciate having him nearby when we need a cat sitter!”

She was very thorough in making sure she knew all the details to best care for our girls and was very communicative throughout her stay with pictures and updates along the way. Will definitely be booking again with her when we can!”
“Leo was patient with my shy senior cat, who slowly warmed up to him over the two weeks and happily accepted pets from Leo by the end. He did a great job of keeping Smokey’s food and water replenished, as well as making sure Smokey took his evening meds. I would be happy to book Leo for future cat sitting needs.”
“Drew was amazing taking care of our cat. He is very passionate and very responsive . He is very detailed oriented and keeps good records of his visits. We will definitely reach out to him to take care of Forest in future.”

“Jason was wonderful. He was communicative, went above and beyond (like offering to pick up more food when I miscounted and didn't leave enough cans of food), and was generally lovely to correspond with. Me and my cats wholeheartedly endorse!”
“This was our second time having Megan drop in to take care of our cats and we’ll certainly look to her for a third. Her attention to detail, great communication skills, and overall care for our pets is all top notch. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Silver Spring
“I couldn’t be happier with Adi & Pat’s care for Louie! They communicate well and clearly, they asked good questions to make sure they’d cover all the bases for Louie’s care, and provided regular updates and photos, which were greatly appreciated. Louie came home happy and relaxed after his stay and knowing he had a comfortable time is great peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for anyone looking for local sitters and I will certainly be rebooking for any future stays!”
About: I've had lots of pets over the years and my life has been made a lot richer for having animals in it. I am very comfortable with the care of dogs, cats, birds and tortoises as these are the pets that I've had the most. I am comfy with the care of puppies and have spent a long time volunteering with rescues. Dogs and cats that have special quirks or need additional care are welcome with me. I'm here to offer a loving and caring environment for all animals regardless of their issues or needs. I work from home and I'm really flexible so I can offer a lot of attention and focus to your pet's needs. Just let me know how I can help! I live in an apartment but there are green spaces on either side of the building where your dog can be taken out to relieve itself.
“Our puppy Cody had an amazing day at Stephanie and Shaun’s today, and I would recommend them very highly to anyone who needs boarding or sitting services. Cody got to run around and play in a beautiful yard with their family and dogs. He was very well looked after. Stephanie and Shaun were very responsive and communicative, lots of pics and updates. They saved the day by taking a same day booking request for a last minute trip. I will book them again!”
About: I used to be a manager at a dog shelter which I absolutely loved before moving to a new state. I’ve also grown up on a farm and handled all types of pets from goats, pigs, cows to dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I believe every animal deserves to be treated as family not just a pet. I am always home until 3pm when I leave for work, but when I am not home my partner is home. Someone will always be there to take care of your furry or scaly family and will never be left without someone even for a second. They will be welcomed with love, play, and kindness in my home. We will ensure nothing is around that will harm the animal whether it is cables, shoes, food, etc. we will always be around to ensure your pet is taken care of and in good health.

About: My Golden Lab, Grace, was my best friend. She escaped from a puppy mill at 3 months old and I had her ever since. Dogs offer such unconditional love and the chance to repay that even a little bit is rewarding. I work full time in mental health close to home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me a lot of free time and the ability to make my own schedule. I love reading, writing, cooking and exploring my new city I now call home. I'm also experienced in taking care of bunnies as well and have sat over 10 clients. I love chilling with them while reading! I mean, it’s a fact that floppy bunny ears are the cutest thing ever, right? I think Bill Nye the Science Guy taught me that. My experience with pets over the years has taught me that they often act out when they don’t feel comfortable. They also sometimes show aggression or fear in new circumstances. This is all totally normal! My first focus is always allowing a visiting pooch to scope out the place at their own pace without any distractions. This allows them to feel as comfortable as possible. I stay close and keep a special eye on them in case they’re telling me with body language that they’re upset, scared, hungry or just want some outside time! I learned from Grace that all animals deserve compassion and understanding and they’ll feel loved and understood. I would love the chance to provide a home-away-from-home for your doggie that they will love to return to each time you’re away! I work three days of the week remotely, leaving me with a lot of one on one time with your fur baby to cuddle, take a walk, or have a belly rub! When your baby steps into my home, they are now officially in a space they are free to explore without restrict so they can find the most comfortable spot that makes them feel cozy and welcomed!
About: I'm a puppy mom and have always loved being around dogs. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. Along with caring for my own puppy, I've watched dogs for friends and family and always treat them like they're my own. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playing outside, or just relaxing and getting lots of attention, I'll stick to their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll also keep you updated so you know your pup is in good hands. I work from home, so I'm home most of the day and have a flexible schedule. I love being active and spend a lot of my free time training for marathons and going on walks, so I'm always happy to bring a dog along if that's something they enjoy. Since my schedule is flexible, I can work around your dog's routine, whether that means walks, potty breaks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a puppy of my own, so our home is already set up with dogs in mind. We go on lots of walks and spend time playing at the dog park outside my apartment, if that's something your dog enjoys. I'll always follow your dog's routine and any instructions you leave, whether we're at my home or yours. I know every dog is different, so I'll make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can see how they're doing.
“Antonio is very calm and has a lovely home for your fur baby to enjoy while staying there. Barklee came home exhausted which usually means he had lots of fun.”
“Rene not only has two dogs but much experience caring for dogs. My pup loves to spend her days waking and playing with her canine friends. Thank you for the excellent service!”

“We as Valerie's owners added a complicated wrinkle -- I am traveling and have the Rover.com account, and my daughters were on the ground doing the drop off and pick up. Ana did not blink an eye over our logisitcal wrinkle. She was so easy to work with. My daughter said Ana was extremely welcoming and clearly a dog person, so Valerie was so excited to be at her place. We would definitely book with Ana again.”

“Jonathan was great with our recently adopted dog that gave him a hard time. He was calm, patient and adapted to the situation as needed, communicating well along the way.”
“Monica is always on time for each walk and quick with responses and all communication. It’s nice to know that our beloved 4-legged baby is taken care of! Thank you Monica!”
“Leo has been taking our dog on midday walks twice a week for the past few months. He is unfailingly reliable, communicative and responsive. He lets us know if he is going to be even a few minutes later than usual, even though our dog is low-maintenance and large-bladdered! Leo has given us lots of advance notice on the rare occasion when he was not available for a regular walk (e.g., at the holidays). And he's an all-around nice guy. It gives us great comfort to know that our Jake is getting such excellent care.”
“Victor was great! We needed a Rover at the last minute during the holiday season and he was available. He met up with us the same day to go over everything and communicated the entire time we were out of town. We came back to a very happy dog! We can’t thank him enough and will definitely try to book again if he’s available.”
“Deava is great! She’s always very responsive and follows our requested walking/feeding schedule. We’ve even recommended her to some of our neighbors looking for a dog walker. She’s reliable, kind, and truly seems to care for our dog.”
“Joseph M was great with Diego and Daisy. He has a great manner with the dogs. He was reliable and sent regular, detailed updates. We will use him again in a heartbeat.”
About: I am excited to help take care of your fur baby! I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits. I have been a dog lover all my life. I know many of the dogs in the neighborhood and often find dogs running to me in excitement wanting to meet me. Caring for dogs has always brought be a lot of joy! I grew up with a yellow Labrador retriever as a kid. As an adult, once I was able to afford a dog, my then boyfriend (now husband) and I adopted our dog Hazel, a sweet 50 pound foxhound, from a local rescue organization. I have worked hard to train her well. She has had several medical issues over the years, so I have learned how to effectively handle medications, vet visits, post-op care, and recovery. While I am new to Rover, I have helped care for dogs for years for other family members and friends. I have helped care for many different kinds of dogs from a tiny Maltepoo to a large 70 pound mixed breed dog. I have dog sat regularly for my parents’ beagle, a friend’s boxer mix, and my mother in-law’s miniature German spitz that looks a bit like a Pomeranian. I have also walked many other kinds of dogs including a miniature dachshund and a large mixed breed dog that was mostly lab, pit bull, and husky. Most of the dogs I have cared for are under 50 pounds, and given my size, I am most comfortable with small and medium size dogs unless they are already very good on a leash and not reactive outside. I am very comfortable helping with dog walks, meal time, medications if needed so long as instructions are clear, and play time. Until mid-August, I have lots of availability for dog walks and drop-in care during the week and on weekends except for a couple weekends when I will be traveling. After August 16, I will have more limited availability but generally be available for dog walks or drop-ins on Saturday afternoons and/or Sundays. I always make a point of coming prepared and learning about the dog ahead of time to make sure I know what he or she needs and likes. I talk to the owner to get a sense of what the dog can and cannot eat, what if any medication they take and the dosage, how they interact with other dogs, how they interact with other animals, how they interact with people, and what they do and don’t like. Dogs have personalities like we do, so it’s important to know this ahead of time as best as possible to avoid putting dogs in uncomfortable or potentially dangerous situations. For example, some dogs are very social with other dogs, love daycare or dog parks, and just love to play. Others, like my dog, absolutely hate dog parks and are often skittish around other dogs they don’t know, but love meeting people. Still others may be a bit reactive to certain triggers like certain sounds or smells or other animals that don’t know. The more I learn in advance, the better. It is very important to take the time to build trust with pets and to make them feel safe and loved. I always let a new dog approach me first and pay close attention to their body language. I try to meet them on their level as well. Once I gain their trust, which usually comes fairly quickly, then I can safely play with them and walk them. When out on a walk, I never walk dogs off leash unless in a fully fenced yard or park. The only exception to this is a dog I own and know is trained very well and has exceptional recall even in highly distracting environments. Since our area is fairly urban with lots of distractions, cars, bikes, and other animals, I generally do not think it is safe for a dog to be off leash outside. I also prefer to bring treats on walks and have a mix of training treats and high value treats to help condition the dog to good behavior and keep them focused if there is a risky distraction they need to avoid such as a reactive dog or a stray cat. I clicker trained my dog and find this to be pretty effective. However, I follow the lead of the owner with their training methods and the terms they use for certain commands to make sure the dog feels confident and safe. It is worth noting though that I do not and will not use coercive or negative reinforcement methods such as prong or shock collars, hitting, or yelling at a dog. These methods are ineffective, cruel to the dog, and in many cases they actually worsen stress, aggression, and reactivity in dogs. When on a walk I am very cognizant of hazards to avoid like chicken bones, pesticides on lawns, glass, traffic, animals the dog may chase, etc. I generally do not read or text on my phone while walking so I can focus on the dog and making sure both of us are safe. This is especially the case for larger dogs, since I am only 5 feet tall. Ultimately, when I am caring for a dog as a dog walker or dropping in for a visit, that is the dog’s time. I get a sense of what they like and follow their lead so they enjoy their time. Hounds often like nothing better than to sniff everything outside. Dachshunds usually love to run and make noise. Retrievers often can play fetch for hours. Shepherds and herding breads like border collies sometimes like nothing more than to show off how smart and athletic they are or to herd a group.
About: I grew up with 2 big dogs in my house and would dog sit for friends families. Now I dog sit for many of my coworkers who trust me not only in our day job but also with their best friend, their pet. I work from home four days a week and have the flexibility to step away from my computer when need be. We end on Fridays by 3 PM and Tuesday-Thursday I am available at lunch as well as after 4 PM. I will always make sure your dog is safely on leash and that I am in control. Unless specifically stated I will make sure that your dog does not get into unsafe situations whether with people or other dogs who are out when we are walking.
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes and frequently volunteered with my local Humane Society. After college I worked with Rover for a few years doing various dogsitting jobs with all kinds of pups. I also became a cat mom myself and love them! As a mom to a human toddler, I’m very patient and caring towards all animals and take my responsibilities seriously. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and my husband has a flexible schedule, so I’m pretty open and easy to work with! Afternoons and evenings are probably easiest. I’m very attentive and responsible and can adapt to whatever setup you have- small apartment, fenced yard, etc. I’m very comfortable taking pets out on walks or crating them inside if needed.
About: During the Covid-19 pandemic, I pet sat and walked dogs full time providing care to puppies, elderly, and special needs pups. I have cared for many different dog breeds and am skilled at meeting their energy level and curating visits individualized to each pup! I have experience administering medications, and working with pups who are vision/hearing impaired. I am currently working part time, so I have some time on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons that I would love to fill with some animal bonding time! I just recently moved to the area, and miss my old pet care clients! So I would like to rebuild pet care back into my schedule! I will be diligent and follow instructions given by pet parents! I prefer to walk dogs on a harness as it is safer when walking, as it’s hard to break or slip out of.
“Sandi was able to step in for me in an emergency situation and I could not have been more grateful. It’s clear that Sandi is an experienced dog walker in the area and knows just where to take the dogs so they can play and have fun. Thank you Sandi!”
About: I used to be a manager at a dog shelter which I absolutely loved before moving to a new state. I’ve also grown up on a farm and handled all types of pets from goats, pigs, cows to dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I believe every animal deserves to be treated as family not just a pet. I am always home until 3pm when I leave for work, but when I am not home my partner is home. Someone will always be there to take care of your furry or scaly family and will never be left without someone even for a second. They will be welcomed with love, play, and kindness in my home. We will ensure nothing is around that will harm the animal whether it is cables, shoes, food, etc. we will always be around to ensure your pet is taken care of and in good health.
“Katherine does an excellent job with Otto. He is a very spirited pup and doesn’t always have the best walking etiquette (we’re working on it!) and Katherine handles it beautifully. He always excited to see her and it’s clear he feels safe with her. Katherine is also punctual, dependable and personable.”
About: I’ve trained and taken care of dogs since I was 15(now 32). Have experience with puppy and senior as well as medical needs. Apollo is my 2.5 year old lab who is incredibly friendly to people and animals. Great walking partner! Please let me know if your dog is not good with other dogs. I currently work full time remotely. I’m mostly available on the weekends and week days after 4pm but can sneak out for lunch visits and walks. With experience and genuine care, I offer a safe, structured, and dependable environment where your pets can relax, play, and feel completely at home as well as a great play partner with Apollo.
About: I have grown up with a family that took in rescue dogs. As a result, I have a lot of experience walking dogs, cleaning up after them, and bonding with them. I also want to do this job because I love dogs and do not have one of my own! ;) I follow the pet owner's instructions carefully. I provide the pet with TONS of attention, grooming, petting. Typically, pet owners have a specific amount of food to provide the dog, I follow that instruction. I also pay attention to the regimen and recommendations provided by the owner. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to the pets I care for. I prioritize their needs, ensuring they receive regular walks, playtime, and affection. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they feel comfortable and safe by providing a welcoming environment. I have designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing, and I maintain a clean and organized space. I follow the pet's regular routine as closely as possible to minimize any stress or anxiety. In my client's home, I respect their space and privacy while focusing on the pet's needs. I follow the owner's instructions meticulously, whether it's feeding schedules, medication administration, or specific exercise routines. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and secure, especially when the owners are away for an extended period.

“Natalia and Edward are fantastic! I’ve used them twice now and have nothing but positive things to say! They’re great about sending daily updates. I will for sure use again!”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Marley had a great stay with Cal and Kelly! They were very accommodating to our last minute boarding request when we had a family emergency and had to rush out of town. We really appreciated the many photos and videos they provided during Marley’s stay and we could tell he definitely loved lounging on the couch and running in their backyard! They were super responsive to our questions during the stay and arranging pickup/drop off was very seamless. We would definitely recommend Cal and Kelly for ensuring your dog has a great time in a caring, home environment and will remember them for future stays!”

I loved that she had so many excellent reviews and had experience with older dogs.”
