Absolutely fantastic! John and Zena took excellent care of Fergus. John is a real animal lover and I felt very comfortable to leave Fergus with him. I loved the daily check-ins with news on how Fergus was bonding with John 😊. Fergus had an amazing time and we will definitely be relying on John and Zena when we go out of town again!

I truly appreciated the time, communication and care Diezel received during his stay with Lisa and her family. I had a feeling of peace and comfort through pictures and reports. When I initially met with Lisa she projected a warm and genuine feeling which allowed me to feel safe in knowing my dog was in her care.

Such a wonderful sitter! She made sure my dog got lots of exercise, which she needs since she’s a herding dog. She also made sure my dog ate all her food, which can be a problem with her sometimes. Rachel eased my worries about my pup with lots of pictures, and really helped make my vacation worry-free. 10/10 would recommend!

Jaime and her family were so kind and great to my fur-baby. I appreciated the periodic check ins and pics she sent me. I think Casper had a great time and with the kids especially because he did not want to get in the car to go home. Even after we got home he was sad for a few days. I highly recommend her and hope Casper can come back in the future. Thank you Jamie!

Beverly is such a sweet and gentle dog sitter! She sends updates and is always out and about walking the dog, taking him on errands, and giving snuggles. He always smells better than when I dropped him off haha; that’s a plus! It’s definitely a vacation of love and fun for my fifteen year old chorkie! Will continue to resource her for care.

She is an excellent communicator, thoughtful, and we will definitely be using her in the future! If you need someone to trust with your fur-babies, look no further! Thanks again, Vania!

We loved Amanda! Duke had a great time spending time with Amanda, and she was so helpful and responsive from day one. We got tons of pictures and updates, and loved seeing what Duke was up to all weekend. Amanda was also really flexible with pick up and drop off times, which was so helpful to us when our flight was delayed 4 hours! We had a great experience and will definitely be using Amanda again in the future. This was our first Rover experience, and I'm glad we had this option for Duke who loves people so much and just wouldn't thrive in a kennel atmosphere. Thank you Amanda for taking such great care of Duke!

She also dealt with an increasingly worsening medical issue and took our dog to the hospital on our behalf. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and went above and beyond in caring for our pups!

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet and your home in capable & caring hands when you have to be away. You will find me to be a laidback, easygoing and trustworthy home and pet sitter. I have years of experience as both a home owner and a pet owner, as well as considerable experience house/pet sitting throughout the mid-Atlantic area. I've been awarded the "Best of Thumbtack" award in the past, and have excellent reviews there. I truly care about the animals and homes placed in my care and am respectful, responsible and honest. House and pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with other animals, and get to know new areas. As a pet owner myself, I enjoy offering other owners peace of mind when leaving their loved ones behind for an out-of-town trip. I know how important it is for me that my own kitty and, now, chickens (!) are safe and loved while I'm away, so I like that I can do that for other people, as well.

About: I have experience working with animals of all breeds/species. I used to work for a boarding/daycare/grooming facility that was also connected to a vets office. I’m familiar with farm animals, dogs, cats, most small pets, and reptiles. I had my own horse for 17 years. Currently I have two German Shepherds who are both 4 years old- so I’m very familiar with working breeds! *I have experience with administering medications and animal first aid* I’m currently a stay at home mom and have full availability. More than likely my son will be with me for drop in visits- but for house sitting, arrangements can be made if necessary! With my two being a working breed we go on a lot of walks, and play a lot of fetch. But they also know how to be couch potatoes! Either way I can follow the lifestyle your pet is used to whether it be cuddles and lounging or going outside to play. I’m all about communication so pictures and daily check ins are something I like to provide!

I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, both large and small, so you can be confident that your dog will be in good hands.

My schedule is flexible, with openings mainly in the mornings and afternoons during the week and weekend. Contact me for specific times and availabilities, as my schedule may change. I will ensure that your pet is secured on a leash for a walk, stays out of the roadway as much as possible, and will avoid other dogs when necessary.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and love caring for them as if they are my children. I've had puppies to senior dogs who have passed on, so I am very comfortable with any stage in a dog's life. I treat my dogs like my own children and I know how difficult it can be to find someone who cares for your pets the same way you do, but I promise you that I will care for your pets in the same way I care for my own! I am currently not working, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). Whenever you need me, I will be there. I am comfortable doing whatever you need me to do in order to take care of your pets. I can give your pets any medications they might need as well as tender loving care.

About: I absolutely adore dogs! I’ve had dogs for as long as I remember so I’m very experienced with them. I did a lot of dog-sitting as well as a kid and still help out with my friends dogs as well. There will always be someone in the home to care for the dogs. My 16 year old daughter is also home and can let the dogs out too. She has grown up with dogs her whole life as well. I have a fenced yard and an easily accessible walking trail behind my house. I have crates if needed. Dogs are a part of our family and I treat them as such. They are allowed on furniture and beds. If you don’t allow dogs on furniture I will respect that as well.

About: What sets me apart is the presence and care I bring to every interaction. With 15+ years of hands-on experience across a wide range of animals—dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs—I’m not just pet sitting, I’m attuning. I notice the little things: a shift in behavior, a need for extra cuddles, or when it’s time to give space. My calm, loving energy helps animals feel safe and understood. I don’t rush through visits—I show up fully, giving your pet the same patience and warmth I give my own. As a homeschool mom with a flexible schedule and a peaceful home environment, pet sitting fits naturally into my life. I’m home most of the day, which means your pet gets consistent attention, companionship, and care—not just quick check-ins. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and it brings joy and balance to our rhythm at home. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or extended stays, I have the time, space, and heart to give your pet the presence they deserve. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my approach is rooted in calm, attentive, and loving presence. In my home, they’ll enjoy a relaxed, pet-friendly environment with plenty of snuggles, play, and quiet time—whatever makes them feel safe and happy. If I’m coming to you, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, respecting their space and energy. I treat every animal like family and always follow your instructions with care and attention to detail. We have a fenced in yard, and plenty of walkable sidewalks.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. I've spent years working with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have a dog of my own, Wesson, and I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. I'm comfortable caring for all breeds and temperaments, from energetic working dogs to laid-back couch companions. I also have experience with dogs that use training tools such as e-collars and prong collars and can follow your dog's established training routine and preferences. When your dog is in my care, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I'll treat them like one of my own and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and one-on-one attention into our day. Because I'm home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods, and I can easily accommodate their individual needs and routines. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and structured environment. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and exercise, as well as a multi-level home that allows me to separate pets when needed. If a dog is crate-trained or requires their own space, I can accommodate that and ensure they have a quiet area to relax. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any training routines provided by the owner. My goal is to make pets feel at home while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their established routine and environment. I make sure pets receive consistent care, companionship, exercise, fresh water, meals, and any special accommodations they need. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for while they're away.

We are so appreciative of Ricardo and his family opening up their home for our dogs. Taking it slow and making sure they have a good time while we are getting settled into our new house. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and our dogs are so excited to get there to spend the day. Very grateful to have found them nearby to us.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and experience I bring to every pet I care for. I have over 12 years of pet-care experience and am a pet parent myself to three Chihuahuas, including a senior dog. Because of this, I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that senior pets can need. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, and I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine and personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet, relaxed environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I stay home full-time. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m able to work around each pet’s normal routine, including meals, potty breaks, walks, medications, and plenty of love and cuddles. 🐾❤️ Because I’m home most of the day, your pet can have someone nearby rather than being left alone for long periods. I truly enjoy having animals around and love making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their families are away. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and the routine their family has established. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, meals, and lots of love. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and basic medication care when needed. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, schedule, and specific needs before their family leaves. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

Flexible scheduling, affordable rates, and trusted experience give you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s energy level 🐾 Drop-ins for feeding, play, and potty breaks 🐾 Overnight sitting in the comfort of their own home 🐾 Reliable, trustworthy, and pet-loving care Let’s make sure your pup stays happy, healthy, and loved—while you focus on your day with confidence. My girlfriend and I walk the dogs at least 3 times a day with a visit to the dog park in the evening. There is 3 other dogs that always meet us at the dog park at the same time as well that live in the same housing territory as us which helps them all socialize and play together. All 3 dogs get fed 3 times a day as well so your dog will not go hungry if it needs fed multiple times a day. I am currently not working so the dogs will be my priority! No worries at all as the dogs will always be coming first in this household. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to go out. We also have a friendly dog park right out back of the house as well in which we take the dogs to frequently and know most of the dogs that go to the park as well.

About: I’ve grown up in a home that has always had animals, so pet care has never felt foreign to me—it’s just been part of daily life. At one point, my family had 10 cats at once, which taught me early on how different personalities, medical needs, and stress levels can all exist under one roof. I have experience with animals across the spectrum, from easygoing to highly complex. I’ve cared for aggressive, anxious, and picky cats, high-energy and very barky dogs, as well as pets who need extra patience, structure, or medical support. I stay calm, observant, and adaptable, especially when care isn’t straightforward. My hands-on experience includes: • 10+ years fostering kittens, including bottle babies as young as two weeks old • Caring for ill, elderly, and special-needs animals, including those with mobility challenges • Supporting pets with trauma histories, OCD or stress-related behaviors, inappropriate elimination, and extreme touch sensitivity • Administering medications confidently (pills and liquids to cats and dogs) • Moderate experience with subdermal fluids and injections for kittens and cats • Caring for pets post-surgery, coming off anesthesia, or on sedative medications • Providing daily care for animals who could not walk independently or needed frequent monitoring and cleanups I’m comfortable with situations that are emotionally or physically demanding and don’t get overwhelmed when things are messy, slow, or unpredictable. My priority is always safety, consistency, and helping pets feel as secure and understood as possible. I am a part-time nanny with a very flexible schedule. I am available to walk your dogs, check on your pets, or stay with them in your home most nights. I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust to take care of a member of your family while you are away and want to provide the best care for your pets so you can truly relax. Having had a Chow Chow mix growing up, I have experience with both intense and anxious dispositions, and I know when to take a dog’s behavior personally or not. I am an easy going, adaptable care-taker, but I will also play as much as your dog likes! I will give them such good care, your pets will look forward to your next trip!

About: Hello, I have an adult cat and a 9 month old golden retriever. I have experience in training my golden, who can do basic and more complex commands (some were taught by me and by a trainer). I am okay with caring for young’s pets, and am open to giving medications or other special care that your fur babies may need :) I enjoy walking my dog and also have a cat stroller if any kitties would like some outside time! I am a full time student and barista, so I work morning shifts most days. I am typically available in the afternoons and evenings to drop-ins or walks! I care for any pet as if it is my own! I enjoy walking my dog at parks or in neighborhoods, and would do the same for other pups. I give love and pets to my cat daily, and would of course treat other cats with the same attention!

About: I grew up with lots of animals and have plenty of experience. I have experience with senior animals. I have some experience in dog training as I trained my Labrador Retriever as a puppy in doggie obedience school. My Lab is now currently a senior doggie. We breed and raise pedigreed Mini Rex, and pedigreed Netherland Dwarf bunnies for showing and pets. My husband also has experience working with a vet some years ago, as well as experience in dog breeding. So I have even more experience as backup if need be. I homeschool a preteen and teenager. I'll be able to look after your pet so he or she will not have to stay crated all alone at home. Can provide frequent potty breaks for your pets. I like to get to know your pets typical routine so I can replicate that comfort for them 🙂

About: My first two pets were 2 doggies at 9 months old. I had them for 17 years until they left for doggy heaven October 2024 and February 2025… I am not ready to fully commit again quite yet so decided babysitting and loving on others’ furbabies will help the healing. Work from home all week. Will be able to take care of them in home and overnight if needed! I will accomodate to all requests and needs. Will appreciate details such as age, allergies, health, likes and dislikes. Will treat your baby/babies like they are my own. Will walk them as I have a dog friendly neighborhood as well as a newly built dog park. The backyard is also fenced.

About: I have been taking car of all kinds of dogs for years. I've watched dogs from Labrador puppies to senior German Shepards. I've owned dogs my whole life and I've always had a special bond with them. Dogs usually gravitate towards me because I am a very fun and light hearted person. My friends often refer to me as a Disney princess because of how I am with animals. I belive all animals need love and respect and I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I am a nanny for a mother of three during the day but I am usually only needed two or three days a week so my weekends are completely free. Even days when I watch my kids I am off by 3pm and can spend evenings with the pets. I have several dogs of my own so my house is fully equipped with w fenced in yard and my house is pet safe. In regards to a clients home I would of course check what the client has in place but as a pet owner I am also aware pets can be sneaky and love to get into mischief. I am always checking on clients pets making sure they are safe and not getting into things they shouldn't. I am also certified in pet cpr and massage therapy incase a pet does get into distress or if they need some other help with pain. Over all my priority is always the health and safety of my client beloved pets.

I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring each pet feels at home. I also have a secure backyard for supervised outdoor activities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine. I ensure their environment is clean, provide fresh food and water, and engage in regular play and exercise. I also send daily updates and photos to keep owners informed about their pet’s well-being. My goal is to provide personalized, attentive care that meets each pet’s specific needs, whether at my home or theirs.

About: I am going to treat your dog like my own if not better. I have two dogs Bailey and Princess who were rescue dogs. Bailey was mean and and could not wear a collar. Princess was malnurished and skin issues. Now both dogs are heathly, friendly. It amazes me how much they have grown. They would love guests and enjoy play time. All i ask is that u tell me your babies schedule and likes and dislikes. I have fenced yard where your dogs can run around play freely and I take dogs to parks and trails. Plenty of treats, and playtime, and love. If you like i can come to your home so your fur babies can feel more comfortable. Home away from home is how it should be. I do pet sit/ Rover on a part-time basis that's why my rates are lower than most.

About: I have had a love of animals since I was a small child. I grew up in a household with dogs, and I have been caring for them for over 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, both large and small, so you can be confident that your dog will be in good hands. Contact me today to schedule a dog walking session or drop in visit; you will be able to relax knowing that your dog is getting the care and exercise it needs while you are away. My schedule is flexible, with openings mainly in the mornings and afternoons during the week and weekend. Contact me for specific times and availabilities, as my schedule may change. I will ensure that your pet is secured on a leash for a walk, stays out of the roadway as much as possible, and will avoid other dogs when necessary.

Absolutely fantastic! John and Zena took excellent care of Fergus. John is a real animal lover and I felt very comfortable to leave Fergus with him. I loved the daily check-ins with news on how Fergus was bonding with John 😊. Fergus had an amazing time and we will definitely be relying on John and Zena when we go out of town again!

I truly appreciated the time, communication and care Diezel received during his stay with Lisa and her family. I had a feeling of peace and comfort through pictures and reports. When I initially met with Lisa she projected a warm and genuine feeling which allowed me to feel safe in knowing my dog was in her care.

Such a wonderful sitter! She made sure my dog got lots of exercise, which she needs since she’s a herding dog. She also made sure my dog ate all her food, which can be a problem with her sometimes. Rachel eased my worries about my pup with lots of pictures, and really helped make my vacation worry-free. 10/10 would recommend!

My family went out of town for Easter, and I was a bit nervous about my 1st time using Rover. However, Vania's kindness, competence, and daily "pup-dates" put me at ease. She is an excellent communicator, thoughtful, and we will definitely be using her in the future! If you need someone to trust with your fur-babies, look no further! Thanks again, Vania!

Shannon was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring, which made the whole experience stress-free. She treated my dog like her own and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable, happy, and well cared for during the stay. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it was clear my dog was relaxed and having a great time. When I picked my dog up, I could tell they were well loved and in great hands the entire time. I would 100% trust Shannon again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog boarder. Thank you so much, Shannon!

James was very easy to communicate and coordinate with. I was able to do an advance meet and greet since this booking was a first time overnight stay that helped all of us feel comfortable. I appreciated the multiple pictures he sent while I was away and the dogs looked at ease and happy. As a bonus he walked both dogs which does not typically happen during their other overnight bookings.

You can tell Amanda really loves animals like her own. She took care of our two dogs while we were on an extended trip. She sent lots of updates. She also dealt with an increasingly worsening medical issue and took our dog to the hospital on our behalf. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and went above and beyond in caring for our pups!
