About: Being a pet-sitter isn't just a way for me to make money. It's a way of life that aligns with who I am. I've always felt most at peace around animals. Growing up with pets they were more than just companions. They were part of the family. So the idea that I can combine that love for animals with something I do for work is truly fulfilling. I spent 10 beautiful, years with my partner in crime, a Great Dane named Padmé. Being a bigger dog, I feel confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Other than volunteering at the Young-Williams Animal Shelter where I've been trained in canine handling, this is my primary job. I am currently available Monday through Sunday starting as early as 6am until 8 pm. I am flexible and can work within your schedule. I provide a calm and quiet introduction to allow your pet to become acclimated to my presence. On walks, I allow pups ample time to sniff and explore their environment on the walk.

About: I grew up with dogs for the first 19 years of my life. I fed, bathed, walked, let out, groomed (not very pretty but functional), and gave medication to my family’s dogs. I then rescued my sweet kitty, who I have owned for three years. I am her only caretaker, so know everything necessary to care for a cat. I worked at a veterinary clinic for a summer so have truly seen it all when it comes to animal care. I worked as a dog walker for a summer as well, and assisted with grooming this dog as well as overall basic care. I have completed an undergraduate degree in animal studies and am continuing on to veterinary school, so I have tons of knowledge to put to good use! Overall, these qualifications make me an excellent caretaker for your loved ones! I am currently working a part time job, 10 hours a week, so I have more than enough time to hang out with your loved ones! I will begin vet school the third week of August. I will then be at school usually 8-12, and sometimes 8-5. I can return to your house during my lunch break around noon if needed. I care for the pets in a client’s home with a holistic approach. I ask specific questions to make sure I understand the animal’s needs and routine before or upon arriving. I want to fit into the animal’s life as an asset to their wellbeing, not as a stressor working against it. I read or listen carefully to instruction to make sure I am well equipped to go above and beyond in loving your pets. They will be my first priority during the time they are in my care, rest assured.

“Jataelynn was an amazing puppy sitter. She made us feel comfortable about leaving our 3 dogs with and took such great care of them. She communicated throughout the stay and asked questions, as needed. We would definitely recommend her and would not hesitate to book her in the future!”


“Kacy is fantastic! I was a nervous first time Rover user and she helped me feel comfortable by being responsive, flexible, and very kind. She sent tons of updates while we were out of the country for over a week. My high anxiety dog and skittish cat loved her. Would definitely book with Kacy again!”


About: Hi! My name is Randi! I’ve taken care of dogs for 15 years or more whether it be for family, friends or neighbors! They trust me. I’m honest. And I’ll love and take care of your pets like they were my family. I am also insured! I love taking care of all kinds of animals! I have had all kinds of pets from dogs, cats, lizards and fish! I can take care of all your pets needs and wants. I’ll give them so much love and attention! I will make sure they have fresh food and fresh water daily; I’ll play with them and walk the dogs often. Clean litter boxes and work on commands.

“Jade was absolutely wonderful with Luna! Jade communicated regularly and sent photos which put my mind at ease while I was away. Luna looked so happy and well taken care of when we returned, and I could tell they had a great time together. I truly appreciated the extra touches Jade took, like spending extra time with her, letting her live in her Queen Victorian Fantasy era while watching movies, leaving a gift for me, and so much more. She also took great care of our home. I highly recommend Jade and will definitely book with her again! Thank you Jade!!!”


About: Thirty years of experience of opening my home and to families that cherish and love their dogs. They’re considered beautiful guests in my home and treated with respect.

I have 2 cats, 4 aquatic dwarf frogs, and several fish tanks with Beta fish. I will follow customers directions, give them all the attention they need and care and love for them as if they were my own animals.

“Hannah was AMAZING!!! I’ve used rover several times in the past and Hannah was by far the best sitter I’ve ever had!! She sent me daily updates and super cute photos of my dog Juno! While she was watching him he had a small breakout on his paw where he was chewing at it and she was quick to message me and send pictures and administer some medications to help his itching! She took excellent care of him! My house was also left cleaner than when I left! I highly recommend Hannah!”


About: Available to pet/house sit in Dc as we have a child that attends a special school in Dc so we hope to visit her often so any opportunity to care for ur house/pets will be wonderful, since we live 7 hours away.

Randi J.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am thrilled to recommend Randi Jackson as a reliable and caring dog walker and sitter for my dogs, Esme and Bear. Randi has been an incredible help, consistently showing responsibility, attentiveness, and genuine care for my dogs. Randi’s ability to connect with Esme and Bear is remarkable. They are always excited to see her, and I have full confidence in her ability to handle them with care and professionalism. Whether it’s daily walks or overnight stays, Randi ensures they are well-exercised, comfortable, and happy. She is attentive to their individual needs and always communicates with me, giving me peace of mind when I’m away. I highly recommend Randi to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their pets. She has been an invaluable part of my dogs’ lives, and I am truly grateful for her dedication and care. Sincerely, Jessica Brown”

Pearlene U.
“I have known Pearlene for about 15 years. We got our two rat terrier puppies from her. At first we only got one, and then went back and got a sibling.

She and her family are friendly, helpful, and clean. Any dog would be lucky to be watched by them!”
