About: Dogs have been in our lives since childhood, and as pup parents ourselves, we understand how hard it can be to find a trusting person to leave your pup with in your times of need. As previous owners of an energetic dog [Cesar], and a foster dog [Argo], we are prepared for the active lifestyle required to care for some dogs. Similarly, we have experience with more relaxed dogs that just enjoy being pet and pampered. We currently serve as pet sitters for our friends who need dog sitting from time to time. I am open to communicating with you as much or as little as you'd like while your pet is with us. Don't worry, I'm that Dog Mom that Facetime's her pup so there's no shame! Currently working from home two days a week, I’d love to have a furry co-worker join me! My work is primarily centered around hosting meetings, and I’m probably the only person on camera without a pet! I have an open home with easy access to the backyard or front of the house for potty breaks. I can crate your dog if requested or let them roam around my baby-proofed home! There are gates and locks EVERYWHERE!

“Katherine came to my home to do a meet and greet with my 8 month old puppy Kooper a shih tzu that went very well. While on there walk she sent photos along the walk Kooper really enjoyed her. I will definitely book Katherine again.”

“Vatia has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She is consistently communicative, reliable, and responsive, which gives me so much peace of mind when I have to be away from my dogs for an extended period of time. I appreciate her genuine care for my dogs, and I always feel confident knowing my dogs are in good hands with her. I highly recommend Vatia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable sitter.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets - fish, dogs, cats, and birds primarily - for around 10 years. Possibly more. Absolutely love being able to assist elderly pups as well I’m currently a college student who has a lot of free time at various times during the day. Happily available to stay over as needed I play with and relax with the pets during the day and take them on walks as needed. Depending on age or size of the dog I try to give them one longer walk each day.

“Thank you for everything”

“Olu has been walking for us for about 6 months and we couldn’t be happier with her. She’s on time and walks the full time allotted. What I like best about her is she walks according to the dogs pace . If the dog wants to walk fast, then they do. If the dog wants to sniff the whole way, Olu goes slow. My dog is ecstatic to see her everyday!”

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

About: I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and special needs pets, so I know how to adapt my care to fit each dog’s personality and routine. Whether it’s gentle playtime for a shy rescue, consistent potty training for a new puppy, or medication and mobility support for an older dog, I provide care that’s patient, reliable, and full of heart. I also focus on clear communication — you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities — because they deserve nothing less! ❤️🐶 Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — it’s not just a job, it’s my passion! I plan my days around the pets I care for, making sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m an early riser, so morning walks, breakfast, and playtime are always part of my routine. Throughout the day, I schedule regular potty breaks, feeding times, and check-ins to match each dog’s normal schedule. In the evenings, I love relaxing walks or quiet cuddle time before bedtime. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, extended stays, or weekend walks, I keep my calendar flexible to meet your dog’s needs and your schedule. Your pet’s comfort and consistency come first — I make sure their routine stays as close as possible to what they’re used to at home. 🐾 Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, my goal is always the same — to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home: I create a calm, cozy environment that feels like a home away from home. I follow your dog’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and bedtime, so they feel secure and settled. There’s always plenty of playtime, cuddles, and supervision — and I never leave pets unattended for long. I also make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of hazards. When caring for pets in your home: I treat your home and your pets with the same respect I would my own. I keep their routines consistent, from feeding and walking to any medication or special care instructions. I’m mindful of your home’s rules, keep things tidy, and make sure everything is just as you left it. You’ll get regular updates and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, they’ll get the same love, attention, and comfort they’d receive if you were there. ❤️🐶🐾

“Madeline has been great. Our dog Rex is a little skittish but immediately warmed up to her. She even gave him a water break during the terrible summer heat”

About: Hi, my name is Mariia-Yelyzaveta! A year and a half ago, I came here because of the war in Ukraine. Now I work to help my family and country and I would also like to have an additional income from something that brings me pleasure. I love animals very much and I myself have a dog Yoshi, which I brought with me. For me, a pet is a younger member of the family that needs to be cared for and enveloped in love. For us, they are just a part of life, but for them, we are their whole life. So our task is to do everything to make this life happy with us. And I'm ready to devote my time to it when you don't have enough of your own! I have a flexible work schedule. I take delivery requests during the day, which means I may leave for short periods, but I always make sure to be on time and give your pet proper attention. I have a small dog who is 14 years old, she is calm and well-behaved, but quite playful for her age, so she can be a good company for dogs, and also safe for cats because they are not very interesting to her and she does not react to them. Besides her, we recently got a small puppy of the same breed. She’s also friendly with everyone, but still a bit shy around bigger animals and tends to run away. However, she’s very playful, active, and always eager to make new friends. I am a bit of a worried mother for my dog, so I will take care of your pet as carefully as my own and I’m gonna keep a close eye on it!

“Wouldn’t change a thing. She takes EXCELLENT care of my pets and they each have their individual needs (aka aren’t the easiest pups). My dog barks at anyone else she has to go on a walk with when they come to the door. However, she literally runs out to greet Izzie, and wants to stay with her.”
