Laura took such great care of our cat when we were away for a week! The photos and updates provided peace of mind so that we could enjoy our trip without worry. We will definitely be asking Laura to care for our kitty when we go out of town in the future!

Shania did a really wonderful job for our cats and was really flexible and understanding of our complicated routine. She was super communicative during the visits and had to adjust on the fly for us, and she took it all completely in stride. Highly recommend her! Thank you so much again!!!

About: I've house sat my sisters 100 pounds saint bernard before for a couple days. My family had a black lab that lived to be 14 and I helped take care of him and we have a 4 year old German shepherd who we have had since he was a puppy. I am currently unemployed so I am available anytime during the week from Monday to Thursday to walk or watch your dog or dogs and I am always vigilant when watching pets. I have a small fenced in yard and I take my dog for a walk everyday at noon and I am always vigilant and make sure that dogs don't get into anything

She was very accommodating throughout the entire process and our minds were at ease knowing our cat was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!

About: Hi! My name is Crystal! I am a huge animal lover! Growing up I always had dogs and cats. I even had a guinea pig and turtle. I also love to go hiking. I live a few minutes away from the State park and go often. The past 13 yrs I have had a cleaning business and I'm looking for a change and also trying to help my son start a pet sitting business of his own. I do try to have an open schedule and be pretty flexible because things do come up unexpectedly and I do my best to work with that. I will be serving the Baltimore and surrounding areas. I look forward to fulfilling the needs of you and your pet!

About: Animal lover and experienced pet sitter living in Baltimore! Before moving to Maryland two years ago, I worked consistently as a cat sitter in the San Francisco Bay Area and Brooklyn, NY. Now I am looking to expand my experience here in my new home! I’m timely, attentive, and cleanly. While I work for Rover part time, I also work in the non-profit sector with a flexible schedule - that means I am able to adjust my schedule to meet your needs! I am comfortable administering medication and have an affinity for older animals that may need more attention. If you are in need of a pet sitter that has the experience and love of pets to care for your family member, you have found her! I am currently able to care for your pet on the weekends and in the evenings after 4 pm. Additionally, on Wednesdays I have increased flexibility due to my work from home schedule. For sits in the city of Baltimore, I also may have daytime availability on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I provide loving, attentive care in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and happy. I follow their routine, offering plenty of play, cuddles, and exercise while keeping your home clean and secure. As a fellow pet owner that has utilized services like Rover, I fully know the trust and responsibility required when caring for your family member within your home.
