About: Hi, I have pet sitting for over 15 years. I’ve worked with pets of all kinds and ages. I love to make any pet I work with feel loved and special. I am very detailed oriented, attentive, and I love to have fun with pets and go on adventures. Your pets are in good hands with me. I’m currently available any day at anytime. I’m currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to care for your pets while your away. I have been doing drop ins since I’ve been with Rover. I will always treat your dog as my own. They will feel loved and cared for while in my care.

Kenneth took great care of our dog; even though my dog was nervous and uncomfortable with people outside of us taking care of him. He did an amazing job, and made me feel so peaceful about having someone caring and responsible taking care of our dog as we had to travel due to an emergency.

We love Lynnette! Bailey made friends with her immediately and really loves his time with her. Lynnette takes the time to ensure that Bailey gets a great “workout” in every visit and takes time to hang out with him for a few minutes every visit before putting him back in his kennel. We will continue to use Lynnette for Bailey’s daily walks.

Lots of appreciation to Collin for accommodating a couple of last minute requests for longer walks!! He had patience with my dog who gets anxious meeting new people, and made sure to keep him safe from other triggers during the walks - thank you very much for that!! Exactly what I needed!

Monats was super helpful and really came through for our pup during a schedule pinch! She took excellent care of Rosie and was very on top of making sure Rosie’s care requirements were met. And I really appreciated her experience and diligence in catching and thwarting my dogs attempts to eat sticks and mulch even though I had forgotten to warn in advance!

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for a wide variety of dogs through fostering. My family has been fostering dogs for the past two years, which has given me experience with different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I have helped care for both young and older dogs, including those adjusting to a new environment. Through fostering, I have learned how to be patient, recognize different behaviors, maintain routines, and help dogs feel comfortable and safe. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to follow each pet’s specific needs and routine while providing plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m currently working part-time and off on summer break. I’m available most days and always happy to be flexible with my schedule. I have experience caring for pets by feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and companionship. I understand the importance of following the owner’s instructions and maintaining the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe.

Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!

Ocean is great! He first came by for a meet and greet and my dog immediately took a liking to him. He asked questions to make sure he knew all the details and quirks of our pup and from the get go we had the impression that he was responsible, compassionate, and mature. He texts after he walks the dog and lets us know how it went. He's even had some helpful suggestions with how we can help our dog's anxiety and is very attune to the dog's needs. I feel so much better now that I know Ocean will be visiting my dog during the long work day. I highly recommend him!

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 and I know how to take action and keep pets safe and comfortable at all times. I cared for my first dog, a beagle, since she was a 5-month-old puppy until she passed at 10 from lymphoma. My current dog is 4 and I’ve had him since he was 12 weeks, and I learned to groom him since he hates the groomers. I have basic knowledge about dog care since I wanted to be a vet for a long time :) I just graduated and have the entire summer free, so I’m readily available for all sorts of services! I have my license and will be driving to customers homes. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I walk my dog 3x a day! As someone who’s been a dog mom for many years, I’m very well versed in dog behavior and their body language. I will make sure all dogs are comfortable around me by offering treats if allowed, space when needed, and patience above all. I used to walk a senior dog in my neighborhood who would snap when he was overwhelmed, so I understand how to handle all sorts of pets while keeping myself and the dog safe!

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have mainly taken care of my neighbors' pets, my friends' pets and of course my own. I have pet-sitted for dogs of all sizes, cats and fish. At home I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, 3 ferrets, a crested gecko and a tree frog. I am reliable and punctual. I am caring and kind. I am also flexible and will follow any schedule or instructions. I am a college student at the University of Maryland and during the summer I do have class on Friday morning. Besides my class schedule I am very flexible. I will follow any instructions that you provide as they are unique to each pet. If taking care of a dog I will never take them out without a leash or fenced in yard. If taking care of a cat I will make sure to keep them inside at all times. If you need me to take care of a small animal I will always make sure they are in their enclosure before I leave. I am very paranoid and will always make sure your pets are safe.

I can’t say enough good things about Marie! Trusting someone with my dog, Charlie, is like trusting them with my child. My pup is my family and knowing that he is in Marie’s hands gives me total peace of mind. Marie is not only reliable and professional, but genuinely loving and attentive. She treats Charlie with so much care, patience and joy, it’s clear she really loves what she does. Charlie gets so excited when she comes to the door and I just love the pictures she sends while on their walk. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like their own, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Marie.
