About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide attentive care for their pets. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a student and my schedule is pretty flexible, so I can usually make time for walks, drop ins, or boarding during the week and weekends. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just someone to hang out with, I’ve got you covered! I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, and I’ll always keep you updated so you have peace of mind.
“Benjamin (August) was very responsible with taking care of my cats for a few days while i was out of town. He was prompt and sent lots of pictures of the cats, who were a little shy around a new comer. I would highly recommend him for your petsitting needs.”
About: I had two dogs back in my hometown and they feel like boss of the house when I am around. I can take care of puppies, small dogs and big ones too. I am currently doing my masters at UMD and I am usually free in the day because my classe are mostly scheduled in the evening I live in apartment housing, well it has a park and lot of space to walk around. I can come to your house and walk them around.
“Highly recommend, Tula! She took care of my three cats for a week — including administering meds 2x a day to one cat— and was very communicative and professional. I appreciated her photos and updates and that she spent time playing with the kitties!”
“We’ve had Astrid cat sit for us 4 times now and she is THE BEST!! She is so sweet and accommodating, trust worthy, and you can tell she really loves and adores our animals. She also sends the cutest pictures. If you are wondering whether or not to book her, DO IT!! She is so wonderful. Thanks Astrid :)”
“Drew is just downright amazing! Braved the winter storm to take care of our boys and went above and beyond as a sitter. Extremely responsive and friendly to us and the cats. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.”
“Jason dropped in to check in on my 2 dogs over the last weekend while I was out at a seminar. He was very punctual, followed directions, communicative, and my pups seemed very happy when I came home later in the day. Looking forward to Jason staying with my pups during my upcoming trip.”
About: With 3 years of hands-on experience providing dedicated care for a variety of pets, I have developed a strong skill set in maintaining the health, safety, and well-being of animals. My experience includes: Feeding & Dietary Management: Ensuring pets receive appropriate meals, tailored to their specific dietary needs, including managing feeding schedules and administering special diets or medications. Exercise & Enrichment: Organizing daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation activities for dogs, and providing enrichment activities to keep pets engaged and happy. This includes interactive toys, puzzle feeders, and grooming sessions. Health Monitoring: Observing pets for signs of illness or discomfort and alerting pet owners or veterinarians when necessary. Assisting with administering medications and managing post-surgery care. Safety & Cleanliness: Ensuring that pet environments are safe, clean, and secure. This includes maintaining pet areas, cleaning litter boxes, and managing pet-proofing in the home or the park Communication: Building trusting relationships with pet owners by providing regular updates on their pets' health and well-being, and addressing any concerns they may have. Multi-pet Care: Managing the care of multiple pets at once, ensuring each animal's individual needs are met while maintaining harmony in a multi-pet household. I'm currently not working, I'm home all week, pet care fits perfect into my schedule. feeding walks and clean up are no problem for me The way I care for pets can vary depending on the service provided, whether it’s for my own pets or a client’s pets. Here’s how I typically approach pet care in different situations: Feeding & Hydration: I follow the client's specific instructions for feeding, whether it’s a regular schedule or special dietary needs. I make sure fresh water is always available. Exercise & Walks: I make sure the pets get their regular walks or playtime sessions. For dogs, I’ll take them on walks, runs, or play sessions at the park . For cats, I may engage them with interactive toys or give them time to roam and explore in a safe space.
About: Hi! I love all animals and pets! I primarily have experience caring for cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, birds, hamsters, hermit crabs, and horses as those are the pets I have owned growing up and through adulthood. Most of my care experience has been either for my own pets or for family and friends—all with glowing recommendations! I know basic AFA (Animal First Aid), however, I am not yet certified. I am confident caring for animals of all ages, young through senior. I can provide care for animals that need medications and those with asthma. I would love to take care of your fur babies! I currently work as a nanny to this sweet girl. She’s school aged so I mostly just handle afterschool pickup and care. My schedule may change once school ends late June, however, this can be discussed. It will most likely stay within the hours of the afternoon. My hours currently are 2pm-6pm every weekday. I do not work on the weekends and with afternoon pickup I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your fur babies! I am confident caring for all animals in any space. I am great at following directions, anything you leave will be followed to ensure your fur baby is well taken care of. I always make sure they are well fed, well maintained, and loved while their human is away. Each animal is different and the type of care given depends on the individual pet. All pets will be loved and looked after as if they were my own.

About: I helped raise 3 dogs from puppyhood and cared for one senior dog and cat. The senior dog had major health problems, so I'm more than comfortable caring for pets with specific needs and health difficulties. I'm currently involved in volunteer work, and my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be available for the summer. Scheduling will be tailored around you and your pet's unique needs. As a pre-law student, I highly value and respect trust, safety, and boundaries. I promise to respect you, your home, and of course, your pet.
About: I’ve been taking care of plus owning dogs, cats, and for over 5 years, starting with small cats and playtime, and daily check-ins. I treat every pet like my own, providing personalized attention, regular updates, and a safe, stress-free environment for your furry family members. Love dog and cat and would love to play with them while make some extra money for my own cats I’m currently working full time weekdays but I’m free weekends and holidays. Because I am sitting working everyday on weekdays so I need to have some walking to exercise. So walking dog is perfect for me. Taking care the cats also makes my weekend nicer.

About: Hi there! I’m a veterinary student at the University of Glasgow Veterinary School. I’ve worked in a vet clinic and have experience giving medication. I have dog and cat care experience, as well as having a dog and two cats of my own. I know what it’s like to want the best for your pets and would love to provide that for them. I’ll be back home in Maryland from the 18th of May-July 3. Feel free to reach out to see if schedules line up :) . I’m very conscious that every pet has different needs. With some pets, long walks and high-energy activities are what make them happy, but I am equally happy to hang out at home and give them extra snuggles.
“Nicolle is absolutely amazing. She always takes such great care of our pets (Juno and Maisie). Juno does extremely great with her and even shy Maisie warmed up to her super quick! Whenever I go out of town, we always go to Nicolle first!”
Adelphi dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kaylynn is amazing!! Bernard loved her and she sent me the most adorable photos during her drop in visits! I really appreciated how quickly she responded to me when I was on the hunt to find a sitter at such short notice! Highly recommend and will be booking with her again soon!
Catherine did an amazing job watching my babies while I was out of town. I am so glad I found her on here! It can be difficult finding someone trusted that is also good with your pets. Catherine came right in and immediately my two dogs took a liking to her. Thank you so much Catherine I’ll def be reaching out again soon!
We had a great experience with Neika as our dog sitter! She was always prompt and reliable with every appointment, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her communication was stellar—she kept us updated consistently and made sure Daisy (Dog) was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
We couldn't be happier with the professional and reliable care from Molly. She quickly connected with our massive, 130 pound dog Zeka, and made sure he received the exercise and mid-day bathroom break that he needed. Molly is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend her.
Jared was fantastic with our crew! We have a dog and cats who are pretty wary of strangers, but he was so patient and totally respected their boundaries. He eased in slowly and the results were great—everyone was happy and relaxed. The communication was awesome, and we loved getting all the updates. Plus, a huge extra thanks for cleaning up some cat vomit on our bedspread while we were out—definitely went above and beyond!
Thank you so much for trying with my girl! She can be so shy to go out (sometimes you need to put her collar and leash on if she won't get out) but the most important thing was getting her meds on time, so thank you for doing it when I couldn't!! And thank you SO MUCH for the effort in trying to keep her well and changing your shoes etc. so there was less chance of her picking up anything when she's already sick, your kindness and effort is so very appreciated.
Daniela was amazing with Bleu! She was Available at a last minute request, and she took such good care of my dog. Her communication was perfect, she was on time, and she was very friendly. Highly recommended! I will definitely be rebooking her when needed. My dog loved her soo much that she’s the only sitter I want to use moving forward lol. Thank You Daniela :)
