“We felt secure leaving our Beloved Rebel and our home in the care of Kate. Although it made us sad to see how much he seemed not to miss us (L.O.L). Kate sent us updates daily along with pictures of how much fun Rebel was having with her. It was our first time leaving Rebel. The daily updates from Kate as well as the pictures she provided made our trip more bearable. We were able to not worry and just relax knowing Kate was with him providing excellent care and attention in every way. Kate was a Excellent Care Giver to Our Baby Boy Rebel. She also took great care of our home. We highly recommend Kate and will use her services again in the future. THANK YOU KATE!!!”

About: I have cared for cats for most of my life but 5 years ago my fiancé and I adopted my first dog. For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for my dog, Mary Jane, who has been my sweetest teacher in understanding dog behavior, routines, and communication. Through caring for her, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walking, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and creating a calm, consistent environment for a happy pup. I have also cared for many friends pets while they were away on vacation. I may be new to Rover, but I’m not new to being a responsible, attentive animal owner. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.

About: Going away for the night, weekend, week or however long just contact me! I absolutely love dogs no matter the size! I have been watching friends dogs for a few years now and have really enjoyed it. I do have a full time job from 8-5 Monday thru Friday but would be with the dogs before and after work and they would get the full attention that they require when I am with them. My full time job does not require any overtime so I am always done on time. In the past I have stayed with a cat that had diabetes and had to have shots which was not a problem for me to handle. I do have a teenage daughter who would occasionally come with me if that is not a problem with the owners. I work full time but I have plenty of time in the evening to play with your dog(s), spend time with them if they would rather just cuddle or take them for a walk. I am patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or missing their owners. I try to help them feel comfortable by playing with them or petting them white cuddling. When the pet is feeling comfortable I will send pictures to the client, letting them know that the pet is relaxed and comfortable with me in the house

About: I have experience taking care of animals in a general care and critical care setting. I want to do everything in my power to keep you and your fur-babies happy! My availability is very flexible besides class for about two hours 2-3 times a week. Otherwise I have the ability to work around your schedule. I have two dogs of my own that each have different medical and dietary needs. I am comfortable walking and caring for your pets and always have time to address any concerns pet owners have. Your pets safety is always top priority.

“Luie took SUCH great care of our 3 doggies! He sent a TON of pictures, which we greatly appreciated, and took care of our house as well! The dogs were excited to see us, but I think they were sad to see Luie go! We will definitely reach out to Luie in the future when we need exceptional care of our pets!”

“Margaret did a GREAT job watching my two dogs and bunny for a week while my husband and I were on vacation. She even got our mail for us even though I forgot to ask her to. I got consistent updates and communication all week. My animals were happy and healthy when I came home and my house was still clean, everything in place.”

About: Hi there! My name is Jen and I want to help you make sure your fur babies are well taken care of and loved while you’re away! I’ve been pet sitting for a few years now and like many started out pet sitting for friends and family. In college, I started working with JN Care for Pets, a DC-based pet care company, where I cared for cats, dogs, and even reptiles! I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs — from small dogs to high-energy large breeds and everything in between. Whether they tug on their leash or can jump to my shoulders, I want to make sure they still get to play outside and go for quality walks while you’re away. In addition to dogs, I’ve had plenty of experience with other animals, too! I have experience with both indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve fostered kittens as young as 4 months old, which included post-spay care for two female kittens. I also currently live at a cat sanctuary for shelter cats that were deemed “unadoptable”, and I frequently assist with feeding, socializing, and general care for both friendly and unfriendly cats. As everyone knows one of the toughest parts of working with cats is medications, and I have experience administering liquid and pill medication to three extremely uncooperative kittens, as well as assisting with flea preventatives for more than 20 cats. I even have experience with reptiles! Just because your pets isn’t a common type, doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve the same level of care as a cat or dog. I’m here to make sure their enclosure maintains proper conditions, they receive any medications needed, and they get their feed worms every night! Whether your pet needs a calm presence, lots of playtime, or special attention to medical needs, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’m a young professional with a full-time day job, but it’s pretty flexible. I’m typically available morning before 8am and evening after 4pm, and on my lunch breaks if you’re in the Dover area. I can shift around my schedule a bit on an as needed basis. I want to make sure your pets have a loving environment while you’re away! I’ll make sure they have consistent access to food, water, medicine, walks, and playtime in line with their routine. I know firsthand how important routines can be for our furry friends, and will make sure they don’t have to lose their routine while you’re away.

About: I have been caring for my own pets for 8 years as well as people in my neighborhoods pets for about 5 years. I absolutely love animals and treat them as if they were my own. I am currently in school and work part time on campus in the evenings but I can still make time to look after your lovely pets! I have hours to spare between classes and would definitely do my utmost to ensure we both can reach to an agreement on time! There is not much fencing in my apartment complex, however there is a decent amount of space and grass to move around if your pet loves to walk! There is also a lake that we could stroll around for a some fresh air and a view.

“We were nervous about leaving our senior cat with multiple health issues with anyone, but after reading Ciara’s profile and meeting her with Walter, we left him and our home in her care. She handled everything exactly as we hoped, followed instructions exactly, and kept us informed every day. She stayed until we returned, and the house was perfect. Walter was content, calm and happy.”

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs, I walk them, feed them and bath them if needed. I have taken care of dogs from puppies to senior care and providing medicine. I currently work full time with a variety on my schedule and very flexible, I love spending time with companions. Im passionate about giving the animals undivided attention. In my home I have a chain and an electric fence so my dog is provided the whole yard. I also have a crate if needed. I prefer to do in clients home to reduce the stress on the animal.

About: I’ve spent the past six years caring for cats and have developed a deep love for animals of all kinds. I’m adaptable, eager to learn, and committed to making sure every pet in my care is happy, safe, and loved. I’m excited to gain experience with dogs and practice my pet care skills for the future I’m fully available on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I’m excited to dedicate these days completely to caring for pets. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they get attention, exercise, and love while their owners are away. I make sure pets are safe and comfortable at all times. In the client’s home, I follow any instructions provided, keep the environment secure, and supervise pets closely. I provide fresh water, proper feeding, and attention while making sure they’re happy and protected.

About: With over six and a half years of hands-on pet care, I bring a rare blend of experience, attentiveness, and heart. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing gentle, attentive care. What truly sets me apart is my ability to read and respond to animals’ unique personalities. I create a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s administering medication, offering leash training for puppies, or providing low-stress companionship for older pets, I bring patience and skill to every interaction. I also have experience caring for a diverse range of animals beyond just dogs and cats. From chickens and birds to hamsters and other small pets, I understand that every species has its own rhythm, needs, and comfort cues. I’m confident and compassionate with unique, exotic, or less-common animals, always prioritizing their safety, emotional well-being, and daily routines. Pet care is a built-in part of my weekly life. I’m highly flexible and genuinely enjoy working around each pet’s needs and schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or even late nights, I’m available and committed to making your pet’s care seamless and stress-free. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend bookings and unique timing requests whenever possible—just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. Reliability, consistency, and clear communication are at the heart of everything I do. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routes, medication routines, and preferred playtime activities—so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the space stays tidy and respected while I’m there. If I’m hosting pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming space. I separate animals as needed, keep food and water fresh and clean, and ensure they have access to cozy rest areas and supervised play. I never leave pets unattended, and I’m mindful of their comfort, especially in a new setting. In both cases, I focus on creating a low-stress, high-trust atmosphere, and I keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication throughout the stay.
