“Melissa and Jordan were beyond amazing. They were so responsive, kept us up to date, and went above and beyond what was expected. The dogs and house were cleaner than we left them! They definitely spoiled us, and I would have them back in a heartbeat. Would highly recommend!”

“Julia was amazing with our babies! She sent many pictures and she took such good care of them!! When we got home I am pretty sure our pets were disappointed to see us instead of her! 😁 I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!!!”

“Remi was amazing! Our little guy is super anxious and almost never feels comfortable with strangers. But she got him comfy immediately. She was wonderful with our dog! Your pup would be in good hands with her!”

“Ken was great. He took great care of our dog and fish. He sent pics of our dog which gave us peace of mind while away. He even washed sheets and vacuumed. That’s awesome! Will definitely hire again and highly recommend Ken for watching your pets!!”

About: I have volunteered in the past with a rescue shelter and I loved walking and playing with the dogs. Since we are a virtual school family, my schedule is pretty open and flexible so your pet will get lots of attention and cuddles. I have cared for cats and fish most of my life. I am comfortable with grooming, providing special diets, giving oral medication and inhalers. If boarding, your dog must be gentle and friendly with kids and cats. I have a 4th grader and we recently adopted a kitten. They must be comfortable in an apartment setting with a busy hallway where barking is frowned upon. Cuties who like to be guard dogs might not enjoy staying here if frequent noise is activating. We are usually home most days due to virtual schooling, but occasionally have short outings and field trips. We continue to use pretty strict Covid precautions, like always wearing high-quality masks and running hepa air purifiers. I ask that my clients are respectful of this. I am very flexible and encourage last minute cancellations if any symptoms of illness pop up. Likewise, if we have symptoms or test positive for Covid/flu I will cancel the booking. Luckily, I have only had to do this two times in so many years and will always issue a full refund. We live in a very pet friendly area and are close to great dog parks. Our neighborhood is full of green spaces and sidewalks and the Rock Creek Park trail is directly behind our apartment. We will care for your dog like it is our own. I love taking photos and will send as many as you’d like and will provide updates and check-ins as often as preferred.
About: I take care of your pets the way you want without you worrying. My aim is to make your fur baby feel relaxed and happy while waiting for you to return home. I enjoy meeting new clients and hope to gain your family’s trust and establish a longstanding sitting relationship that you and I can be comfortable with. Dog and cat sitting is what I do most often but I take care of a variety of pets to include birds, reptiles, hampsters and the like. I have dogs and birds myself and have had a multitude of other pets though out the years. If you have medications for your beloved pets I will administer them per your instructions. Please let me know how I maybe of assistance to you when you need a sitter!
About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds for my whole life living on our 50 acre family farm. We have horses, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, reptiles and fish! I take care of all of them and provide them with a loving and enriched environment. I can’t wait to meet your best friends, or have them for a visit! Pet care is my greatest passion and second job at home. I spend my mornings out in the fields with my horses and cows pitching hay, mucking stalls, and cuddling in the grass. I spend my evenings snuggled up with my 3 hound dogs on couch or landscaping my reptile and fish tanks for fun. I am open to the needs of all pets as I know people do things in their own way. I will carefully follow the instructions left by the client.
“Brittany was a fantastic sitter for our pup and made our first experience using Rover a breeze! She was incredibly attentive to our pet's needs and sent us lots of updates to assure us that he was doing well. We would highly recommend Brittany and would certainly rebook with her in the future.”

About: Growing up, I've always had dogs and cats around, so taking care of them feels like second nature to me. I've watched pets for neighbors and friends, dealing with all sorts of breeds and personalities. Now, I have my own little crew: two pitbulls, two bichons, and a cat! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I am available on weekends and weekdays after 2 pm! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow instructions carefully, provide lots of love and attention to pets, maintain a clean environment, and keep ample communication!
“Alyssa was wonderful! She made sure my pets were well taken care of during my trip and sent a lot of photos and updates. She left my place in great condition and I felt good about leaving my pets in her care. I will be rebooking her for future care!”

“Christine went over and above. She took such great care of my babies (dog Nina and cats Percy & Nixxi) and my house, leaving it better than she found it. I highly recommend her!”

“Mariah did a fabulous job with our two fur babies. We came back from vacation to find them happy, healthy and well cared for. She sent plenty of photos. Definitely recommend. She was caring for them in our home and left the house spotless.”

About: I've cared for and have had the privilege of sharing my life with dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, and goats. I've been lucky enough to have raised three dogs from puppydom to senior pooches, all three living beyond 18. I currently share my home with a 13 years old Miniature Pinscher named Sadie. I couldn't imagine continuing on without a furry child in my life. They are central and that's how I feel about all my charges as well. I have extensive experience in caring for puppies, tweens, teens, adults and senior dogos. Unfortunately, I can no longer work with bully breed or bully mixes. I'm available anytime and often at short notice. I have no limitations or restrictions between the hours of 9A until 9P seven days a week. I can only care for small dogs (under 25 lbs) in my own home as my HOA has restrictions on pet size. In your home, your pet will be either King or Queen. They will be pampered and loved as you would want them to be.
“John was on time. He was very kind. He and our sweet Savannah bonded and has a great weekend. He completed walks and feedings. He assisted with her vitamin. We will plan to use him again and would highly recommend him.”


About: Hi there, I’m Kirsten and go by KP! During the week, I would be able to check-in on your furry friends before and after work and during my lunch break. I am available to travel if needed and have a flexible schedule! I have grown up with at least 3 dogs in our home at all times. I’m a lover of animals and have been house/pet sitting for over 15 years now (not including high school and college). I’m very flexible and cater to the needs of your pet and household. I understand that pets can get stressed when their owners are away. Patience is a strength of mine, and I love to be outside to play with the animals! I’ve watched dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, breeds, and health needs, and ensure that each pet gets the love and care they deserve while their owners are away. I will imitate their daily schedule so that they are continuously comfortable. I work full time, Monday-Friday (8-4:30) and would be available for walks and drop-ins before and after work, as well as during my lunch hour. As for pet sitting, I am available for any length of time, but would still be popping in during work days during my lunch hour! I aim to make sure that your pets’ day-to-day routine remains as normal as possible. I will change my schedule to work around your pet’s needs, whether that is a scheduled medicine dose or a long walk during lunch.
