About: Hi!! My name is Elisha. It is a pleasure to be a consideration to you. A little about me .. I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties for relatives, friends, you name it. Since I can remember. I treat them as I would real children and companions. If you are in need of an extra hand, to walk or to visit your pup/kitty, I am available. I know life can get busy with work, traveling, or even dates. That is why I am so compassionate towards fur babies and believe that for your comfort as an owner, Rover is a great investment. I try to keep costs low as I am new, so here is to new pup/kitty beginnings ! I work 3-5 hours in the Baltimore area, however I live up Harford county so I’m flexible with locations and times! I can do early mornings, late noons, whichever is preferred by you :) I have a friendly pittie who can keep your dog company on walks (if they fare well that way) I will give often updates, photos, any notes as needed. An additional service I like to do for clients is picking up waste in the back, as it tends to become tedious and maybe difficult for some people, I am all here for it ! Please request that when booking.
“Ela did an amazing job, was able to help us last minute and adapted so well to any kinks that came up! I can’t say enough great things. We’re so lucky we discovered her.”
“Highly recommend Mariah. She has done walks and drop in visits with our dogs for years. She is always reliable and responds quickly. We end up making last-minute bookings often because of our work schedules and she always gets back to us right away. Most importantly our dogs love her!”
“Janis did an incredible job with my dog, Sandy while I was out of town! I was worried about leaving her, but Janis was communicative and thorough and you can tell she really loves animals and what she does. We got pictures and summaries of every walk and updates that made me feel so much better knowing my dog was in good hands. I'll recommend her to everyone!”
“Pups loved Robin. This was our first try with a drop in and her ability to deal with two very active dogs with food, meds, and getting them out and back in was perfect. We will definitely use Robin again.”
About: Hi! My name is MaKenzi and I have had pets as long as I can remember, I grew up with two pitbulls rescues, two smaller dogs, and an older cat that I assumed most of the care for as both parents worked full time jobs. Taking care of multiple animals at one time requires a lot of energy and the ability to organize the things they need well but I learned very quickly! Since I have lived on my own I have helped friends and coworkers with taking care of their beloved fur babies while they’re on vacation or just need an extra hand with their pets. In the last year I have rescued my own kitten and I have absolutely spoiled her with all of the patience, love, affection, and extra care that her heart could desire.
“Stephanie was amazing! Very professional, communicated well, and was overall very attentive with our boys. Our AC went out halfway through the week, and she helped us troubleshoot the problem from 3 states away. She also made sure to check on the cats and make sure the house wasn’t too hot without the AC. Overall, we had a great experience and we plan to book with her again for our next trips as well!!”
About: I have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and have developed a deep understanding of their behavior, needs, and personalities. Throughout the years, I’ve cared for dogs of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to my own hands-on experience, I’ve interacted with countless other dogs through my clients, family, and friends. This extensive exposure has strengthened my ability to recognize canine body language, build trust with dogs, and provide compassionate, reliable care. I take pride in treating every dog as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My wife and I have proudly owned and operated a successful handyman and cleaning business for the past 20 years. During that time, we’ve built our reputation on honesty, reliability, hard work, and exceptional customer service. We’ve enjoyed helping our clients care for their homes and have formed many lasting relationships along the way. As we look toward the next chapter of our working lives, we’re excited to transition into something we’re truly passionate about caring for pets. Animals have always been an important part of our lives, and we look forward to spending our later working years doing what we love. With decades of experience caring for dogs and other pets, along with the same dedication and dependability that made our business successful, we’re committed to providing loving, trustworthy care that gives pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. When you trust us with your dog or cat, you can be confident they’ll be treated like a member of our own family. We understand that every pet is unique, and we’re happy to accommodate special requests whenever possible,whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, providing extra playtime, or giving them the extra attention they need to feel comfortable. Above all, one thing you can always count on is that your pet will be cared for with genuine love, kindness, and compassion. Our goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands.
“Jordan was wonderful. She kept me informed at every visit and was even kind enough to bring in a package without being asked. She is trustworthy and loves cats. Our cat looked very happy upon our return.”
About: I will care about your pets like they are my own. They deserve the best care and best time during their lives. I can give medication to pets if needed as I have a senior cat of my own. I'm currently working full time 4 days a week, but would like to branch out and work with animals again part time. I am available friday-sunday. I will make sure they have fresh water & clean bowls, feed them when needed, make sure they are safe and clean. If they have accidents I will make sure to clean them up. I will walk dogs and check in with them, clean up after them, and give them water/ treats/ food when requested. I will make sure cats litter is clean and fresh, they have access to clean water, and feed them/ play with them during drop ins.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old!! I love all animals honestly. I’ve walked dogs, cleaned litter boxes. I’ve also bathed pets. Also cuddles are a must! Also play time is important! I would love to pet sit anytime! Pet care would be during the week in the evenings. The weekends I’m free to anything! I can do overnight stays on the weekends, I can walk, feed, and bathe pets. Depending on which service I’m doing, I do have a yard which your dog can play in. I also can bathe pets and feed them, and if you have a cat I can clean litter boxes and play and brush them!
“Damien took excellent care of my kitties while I was away. He was thorough, followed all of my care instructions, and sent detailed updates with plenty of photos, which gave me real peace of mind. He was respectful of my home, professional, and a pleasure to work with. My senior kitty absolutely loved him, and he took wonderful care of her as well. I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again.”

Janis did great in taking care of our two cats - Tiger & Toby! She kept us updated each day with adorable pictures & time of arrival & departure, food & treats updates along with litter changes. We would love to have her back & would highly recommend her to others. Any time she would like to come over & visit with our pets she's welcome!!
Damien took excellent care of my kitties while I was away. He was thorough, followed all of my care instructions, and sent detailed updates with plenty of photos, which gave me real peace of mind. He was respectful of my home, professional, and a pleasure to work with. My senior kitty absolutely loved him, and he took wonderful care of her as well. I wouldn't hesitate to book with him again.
This is the first time I have used Rover.com for my two kitties. Had just moved here from out of state and had to find a new sitter. I was nervous about this new process and how my cats would react to a new sitter situation. When I met Katherine I was relieved that she had knowledge and background in cat behavior because after all, most cats are quirky. Our meeting went well and she proved to be very reliable and punctual. Her rate was was fair and reasonable. I was so happy to get pictures of my girls and their progress from Katherine from each visit. They were very well cared for and I’m happy all went well. Katherine did a great job and we will use her services again!
Eric took care of my two cats while I was away on vacation, and I could not have asked for a better experience. He was pleasant and easy to work with from start to finish. It was clear he took excellent care of them. When I got home, both cats were relaxed, happy, and clearly well looked after. That peace of mind means everything to me when traveling. His check-in cards always made my day, and he sent some fantastic photos that reassured me they were doing great. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates and attention to detail. I highly recommend Eric and absolutely plan to use his services again for future travel.
Fantastic sitter; highly, highly recommend!! Calailah was very kind to our two kitties even when Orion wasn’t very kind to her at first. Orion usually doesn’t like new people but he warmed up to Calailah in one day- the fastest he’s ever warmed up to someone! Will definitely be reaching back out next outing!
The last time my family and I went away we had to put our pets in a daycare and our dog got sick so our experience with putting them in a daycare was tainted. So this time around I chose Rover but I was very nervous about It however after speaking with Haylee I felt much better and confident that things would go well. She did just an amazing job and she sent reports every step of the way. I was so thankful that I was able to leave our pets home this time around and will do so moving forward. Highly appreciated Haylee and would definitely recommend!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
