“Dymond took absolutely fantastic care of Justin. She is thorough, asks great questions, and you can tell she genuinely cares. I received a detailed Rover Card each day with the cutest pics, which put my mind at ease while leaving my kitty at home for a week. We will be rebooking the next time we are away and cannot recommend Dymond enough!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds for years and have three of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’m studying to become a veterinarian and work part-time at a pet store, which has given me strong knowledge of pet health, behavior, and nutrition. I also have hands-on experience fostering senior dogs, sitting for cats, caring for a pregnant dog, and helping raise a litter of seven puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and needs, and I always treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know our pets are our children, I wont treat them as any less! I also know fish, small animal and reptile care very well! Se habla español! 🤗 I’m currently a part-time student, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, including weekends. I can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs and keep their schedule consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and three friendly small-to-medium sized dogs who are used to being around other pets. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m also able to follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or crate needs you have. Whether your pet loves to play or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they feel at home, well loved, and cared for!
“Sara is amazing! Super attentive and caring with the cats, going beyond and above on the ask of looking out for them 😉 She is a gem and I highly recommend her, definitely will have her again in another time. Thak you Sara!”

“Sheila was wonderful! She left detailed notes that reassured me that my pups were doing well and took the time to bring my shy dog out of her shell. I will definitely request her services again next time!”
“Jessica was wonderful with all of our pets! I always get anxious leaving my “pack” (3 dogs, 4 cats) for the weekend but Jessica was wonderful and took such good care of them. I would totally hire her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for almost all my life. My family is a big dog family. for most of my life I’ve grew up around dogs and been taking care of dogs. My family used to have 8 dogs under the same roof and everyone had a part in helping to take care of them. Most of my friends also have dogs or other pets and I get along with all of them great! I’ve never had a bad experience with a pet before, I’m very attentive and understanding of a pets boundaries and what they do or don’t need/want. I’m very open with my schedule and is free most days of the week. The only days were I might not as available is Sunday but I do try to have an open schedule as much as possible. Unfortunately I can’t take dogs into my own home because there isn’t enough space and I already have one dog myself but however I am able to make house trips to check in on dogs and take them out on walks and make sure they’re entertained while also being feed properly.
About: I grew up with a dog and have spent years caring for and looking after it, which taught me the responsibility, patience, and attention that pets need, and I have also regularly dog-sat for family friends, giving me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a college student currently on break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I am available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I can easily adapt my routine to meet a pet’s specific needs. Having cared for my own dog for years and regularly dog-sat for family friends, I understand the importance of providing consistent attention, exercise, and care to help pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I think every dog is different, so I like to adjust my care based on their personality and needs. I’m a very active person and love going on walks, hikes, and playing with energetic dogs, but I also enjoy relaxing with senior or shy dogs who prefer a slower pace. Whether a dog wants to be outside exploring or curled up on the couch for some company, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care.
“We couldn’t be happier with Jina! She went above and beyond to make our skittish cat comfortable with her during drop ins. Her reports were detailed with plenty of pictures. We look forward to book Jina again!”

“Bill is amazing! I have a senior dog with separation anxiety and I am very particular about his care. After having Bill come for several drop-ins I would not hesitate to continue to use him for Taco's care. He has a tremendous amount of experience with dogs and was able to establish trust with Taco very quickly. I could tell that Bill truly cared about Taco and Taco knew it too! :) Do not hesitate to book with Bill, he is exceptional.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs from a very young age. Friends and family have trusted and always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and stay with their pets while they are out of town. I love caring for dogs, it actually helps to bring me a clear peace of mind and releases me from anxiety. Fur babies brighten my day and fill me with joy I love having a companion by my side especially because I don't have any pets of my own currently. I would love to be given the opportunity to care for and nurture your pets! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to looking after your pups! I am free 7-days a week, only gone on the weekends for a few hours during the evening. I live in a townhouse and have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run around. I don't have any dogs of my own. I love to go on walks throughout the day in my neighborhood to get some sunshine, so your dogs would be taken out multiple times a day. I can easily crate the dogs if necessary. Willing to do whatever to create a fun, loving, and safe environment for your pups!
About: I will be happy to take care of your dog/dogs. My family and me have a lot of experience in doing so since we have our own dog, and often do dog sitting for our friends. I am studying online, and my parents work online full time. We have a lot of time and desire to make your dog’s stay with us comfortable. We are available at any time. I live in a big house with my family. We have a fenced backyard. We also have a super friendly Shetland Sheepdog, who will keep your fur baby company. We also live close to a huge park.
“Antoinette provided drop in visit for our elderly (13 yrs) dog and was really great! She was a great communicator (kept us up to date and shared pics) and we got back to a happy and content dog. We hope we can have her sit for us again in the future!”

About: Since childhood, I've embraced the role of caretaker for our family pets, a responsibility I continue to fulfill with joy and dedication to this day. Growing up surrounded by animals instilled in me a deep appreciation for their companionship and well-being. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply providing love and attention, I find immense fulfillment in tending to their needs. Being in the presence of animals brings me genuine happiness, and I cherish every moment spent with them Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is second nature to me. I allocate time each morning and evening for feeding, walking, and ensuring they receive the attention and care they need to thrive. Beyond the essentials, I make it a point to spend quality time bonding with my pets, whether it's relaxing together at home or exploring the outdoors. Pet care isn't just a task for me, it's a rewarding part of my lifestyle that brings me joy and fulfillment As a pet sitter, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pets in my care, whether in my own home or at the client's residence. In my home, I ensure that the space is pet-friendly, with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, walking, and potty breaks, tailored to each pet's individual needs. Regular exercise and enrichment activities are integrated into their daily routine to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their familiar surroundings and routines to minimize stress and ensure their comfort. I follow the owner's instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medication administration, and any other specific care requirements. I provide companionship and affection, spending quality time with the pets through play, cuddling, and interactive activities. Additionally, I keep the home tidy by cleaning up after the pets and adhering to any house rules set by the owner.
About: I have had experience with my own dog, as he was apart of the family for 12 years. I love being around dogs, and I will make sure they are well taken care of! I am currently home from college during the summer and working part time. I will be available for long-term and short term sitting on the weekends, and possibly sitting during the week as that is when I am working part time. I do not offer care in my own home, but I will be willing to work out something if need be of if it’s the best option!

About: I've had pets since I was a kid. I had my cat when I was 5, but she died late last year, and I want to fill that void. I'm available on weekdays at any time during the day. Same with Saturday and Sunday. I'm available for appointments 6am-10pm no problem. My home is free of smoke I don't smoke or anything like that and also, I have no kids so it's very pet friendly
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2000 and cats since I was 8. From kitten, puppies to senior dogs and cats, I love them all. I will care for your dog like they were my own. I currently work from home everyday. I can walk dogs before work, pet sit all day, or watch them in the evening or overnight. I am available for long stays as well. I have no pets at this time so your pet can be comfortable and roam around freely. I can feed, play with and give lots of attention.

Hope always takes great care of our pets, follows our care instructions, and communicates timing and needs.

Thank you, Hope!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Boyds stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Boyds choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Boyds with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
