House Sitting in West Lanham Hills

“Pond watched my two cats and one dog at my house and was absolutely amazing! Sent the cutest pictures, very responsive and left our house spotless. My animals were very happy and I will definitely have pond take care of my many animals again!”

“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”

“Maria was so great! I loved that she wanted to do a meet and greet beforehand. I can tell Shiloh was well taken care of. Even when I got a little worried, she was able to quickly reassure me. I definitely plan on booking her again for my future trips if she’ll have us :)”

“Sometimes you’ll only know if the Sitter was great by how the dogs react when you walk through the door. I’m happy to say that after being gone on vacation, I came home to two very calm and happy dogs. In the past, I’ve had sitters where when I’ve come home the dogs were uneasy and full of anxiety. So it’s really important to know that the dogs are calm and we’re not stressed out while we were gone. It takes a dog person to be able to give this kind of love. I’m so thankful.”

“Karleigh took great care of our puppy and kitty. She provided pics and continuous updates. We would definitely recommend and will request her assistance in the future.”

About: Around here, every pet gets the “favorite auntie” treatment! Hi! I’m Nicole — also known as “Titi” by my favorite little humans — and I’ve built my pet care style around the patience, affection and reliability of your favorite auntie with an emphasis on attention to each pet’s unique needs. From cuddle time to structured routines, I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, understood, and loved. 🧡🐾 My experience in a nutshell: * 5-star rated sitter with 40+ reviews and repeat clients, serving over 200 clients in my 7 years * Experienced with dogs, cats, puppies, senior pets, and special-needs pets * Pet First Aid & CPR certified (American Red Cross) * Comfortable administering medications * Former SPCA volunteer * Over 10 years experience offering boarding, house sitting, walks, daycare, and drop-ins Pet care is both my full-time job and my calling, allowing me to commit special time and attention to your pets individual needs. Each day’s schedule will vary. For walks and drop-ins: If your request consists of two, 30 minute services per day and your dog is crated for the remaining 23 hours of the day, for the safety and well-being of the dog, I cannot accommodate the request. Thank you for understanding!

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs since I was 6. I took main responsibility of my dogs when I was 9 years old and I have experience with many different breeds including Bully breeds. I know how to properly train, discipline, reward, feed, walk, and bathe pets. I am currently student at university so I would love to spend my weekends taking care of your pets. My schedule is flexible and I’m willing to spend my nights to watch your pets. I would also love to take afternoon walks and would love if your furry friends could join me. I respect any wishes you have for how you would like your pets to be within the house. I can keep your pet crated if you prefer or have them roam the house while keeping a close eye on them. I constantly pay attention to your pets and watch for any signs that they may show.

“Aliyah was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! One of our dogs still has ‘puppy energy’ but she was calm and firm with her. And I swear my house was cleaner than when I left. We absolutely will be booking with her again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my entire life. I currently have a 5 year old German Shepherd mix named Akari who is the absolute love of my life. I also, LOVE taking photos of pets. It's one of my favorite parts of doing Rover! I work Full Time 9am-5pm at the University of Maryland! During the week I can do drop ins/walks early in the morning and after work in the evening! Weekends I am completely open! Let me know what you need and we can work something out! Your pups comfortability is my first priority. I want this to be a fun and enjoyable experience for your dog and will do my best to make sure that happens.

About: I have grown up caring for a variety of different pets! My family has had dogs, indoor and outdoor cats, parakeets, gerbils, and fish. I love animals of all varieties and welcome the opportunity to help you care for your pets while you’re away! I also spent years pet sitting for dogs and cats for my neighbors growing up. I am available to provide house sitting, drop in care, and dog walking for your pets. I am based in College Park and will have a part time job at the University of Maryland this summer, so my schedule is flexible and I am able to accommodate your pets’ needs! I’m currently working a part time job in the DMV area and very flexibly to accommodate your pet’s schedule. I’m happy to schedule my days around their individual needs and requirements. I currently live in an apartment, so I am unable to take your pets into my home. In your home, I’m happy to accommodate your pets however needed! I am dedicated to learning your pets’ daily routine so that I can keep them happy and healthy while you’re away.

“Alex was a great house and cat-sitter. My cat snuggled up to her right away! She was very responsive, flexible when my schedule changed, and sent lots of update photos.”

“Talayia was great! Very communicative and the pets loved her. She followed directions very well and left my house nice and clean. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’ve been captivated by animals since a very young age, and have been regularly walking, bathing, and feeding neighborhood dogs of all sizes. I treat every animal like family. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to ensuring your baby feels safe, loved, and cared for. Expect plenty of updates, photos, and loads of affection for your pet! I’ve attended 3 years of Veterinary Camp in North Carolina, and have completed a summer-long Veterinary Internship at Tuskegee University. I am well versed in the realm of all different kinds of animals. My schedule is pretty much completely free, as I’m out of school at the moment, and just spend my time studying and participating in my favorite hobbies. I ensure that pets are comfortable in their environment, I try my hardest not to stray away from their usual routine and I am patient with pets, allowing them to come to me when they are ready.

“My cats have never been so calm and happy when I return home from a trip. A’layza always communicated with me, sent me daily pictures of my fur babies, and left the house cleaner than it was. Highly recommended A’layza!”

“Cassandre did a great job with my "old lady" dog. Good about checking in and providing pictures, and, most importantly, I came home to a happy, healthy dog.”

About: In the past I had 1 childhood fur sibling (Yorkshire terrier) for 13 years. Currently I am dog mom to two fur babies. My oldest is a 6 year old 50lb pit mix and youngest is a 5 year old 175lb English Mastiff. In past years I ran an Airbnb out of my home in which I have hosted several dog guests with their human companions. My dogs are always excited to meet a new friend that visits. In the event a guest dog doesn't favor mine our policy was to keep everyone separate alternating food and bathroom breaks. My backyard is fenced with a six foot fence and the dogs can play or use the bathroom back there. My availability is currently fairly open as I pursue a new career working in the dog training industry. I'll take on clients in between my own education and training. My oldest dog, Rona is a 50lb 6 year old pit mix. My youngest dog Gemma is a 175lb 5 year old English mastiff. After 3+ years my dogs and I have had plenty of experience hosting dogs of all flavors of personalities. My back yard is fenced in and the side door that leads to it has a dog door. We typically have bathroom breaks every few hours or so until bed time. Upon arrival guest dogs and their human walk about the house and back yard to get the scents of everyone who lives within before re-meeting my dogs. I like to schedule a meet and greet before hand to see if all doggies will get along. I have discovered that some dogs are wary of large breed dogs. My Mastiff is VERY friendly and loves all dogs but unfortunately the love isn't always returned kindly.

About: Through previous and most recent positions, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments through pet sitting and dog walking. My responsibilities included feeding, administering basic medications, maintaining exercise schedules, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and providing companionship and enrichment. While I work full-time, I’m available for evening care after 6 PM depending on location, along with flexible availability on my days off for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I provide reliable in-home pet care by maintaining pets’ routines, ensuring they’re fed, exercised, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away.

“Alex was great! We left our puppy with him for our first time apart and he sent a ton of updates and pictures. Boba looked so happy in all the pictures and Alex did a great job building a relationship with him especially since Boba doesn’t usually like men. I plan to use Alex again in the future and am confident Boba is in good hands!”

About: I have been petsitting, house sitting, cat sitting, and farm sitting since Rover was DogVacay, but actually since I was a child caring for my neighbors pets and horses. My dog Quill is around 8 years old and gets along with almost everyone. No one is perfect. That's why I ask that you allow enough time to schedule a Meet-N-Greet so we know your dog, my dog, and I are a good fit. I do not accept dogs that are not spayed or neutered. Sorry:( I am skilled at giving pills, liquid oral medications, and subcutaneous shots. (think diabetics and thyroid disease for cats) We have taken in a family member's cat in the past year. She is the queen of the household and is not intimidated by most dogs as long as they are not aggressive toward her. I can do drop in visits for cats, reptiles, and birds as needed. I do accept reptiles and birds into my home as well. My Husband and Stepson enjoy all the animals that come and go. I am working full time until June 17th, therefore I only accept dogs on the weekends until school is out. I just updated my summer schedule so there are more opportunities for walks, house sitting, and cat drop ins. I have a fenced patio that the dogs enjoy hanging out on. I do not have a yard, but my Condo is very large and there is plenty of room for the dogs to play and take breaks from each other. I do not take dogs off leash unless I know the dog very well and we are in a safe area such at the dog park or dog beach. I will only take your dog on excursions with your permission. My dog loves to go to the farm and the dog beach, but that's not for everyone. ;)
