“Tanaysia was so good with my shy boy Gumbo! She recognized his anxiety and checked in with me and we had a plan of action. He warmed up to her so quickly too, which made me feel a at ease! She was communicative and asked questions when needed. Will def have her back again when I need someone!”


“Amazing! Nani was excellent in caring for our fur ball. She communicated with us and sent great pictures of the fun they had. We had no concerns at all and will 100% use her services again.”


“Diana was amazing! She took such good care of our two dogs while we were away and the house looked immaculate when we returned. She continually sent us updates and pictures. We will definitely continue to contact her for all our pet sitting needs!”


“Dominique is easy to work with, communicative, and responsive! She stayed with our dog for a few days and took great care of her and our apartment. We will definitely work with Dominique again.”


“Faith is a fantastic petsitter! We were out of town for 8 days and didn't have to worry about a thing back home. It was wonderful to find a caring person who could spend this much time with our pets. Boarding can be so stressful on our big dogs, but Faith was able to do overnights and wasn't intimidated by our Dobermans in the slightest. She was a perfect fit, and we were so blessed to find her on Rover. It was our first experience with the service platform being new to Southern Maryland, but we will be repeat customers for sure.”


“From the moment we met, Adrienne made me feel very comfortable leaving her in the care of my cats and home. She was extremely communicative and I appreciated her staying in my home. She was extremely respectful of the space, could not even tell she had been there, other than the fat and happy cats. Highly recommended, she is truly lovely and easy to work with.”


“Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog and our house while we were visiting family. I think she may have given our pup more attention than she gets when our whole family is home. Highly recommend!”


About: I truly treat pets like they are people. I am always gentle and kind to all animals, and I make sure their needs are met. I am currently working part time in the evening, so I can watch, walk, feed pets in the early morning, mid day, and late evening. In my home I care for my dog by walking him and making sure he has a safe environment. He lives comfortably in our home. Our cats are house cats who have the luxury of a spacious home to roam.

About: With over 15 years of experience, I am a caring, patient, and dedicated animal lover with a unique “dog whisperer” communication skill that helps me build trust and connection with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior companions, ensuring their specific needs are met with compassion and attention. I am responsible for the daily care of three wonderful dogs: a Presa Canario, an Akita, and a family member’s Welsh Terrier. Each day, I ensure they are well-fed, walked, and engaged with plenty of playtime to meet their physical and emotional needs. Managing two large breeds alongside a smaller, high-energy terrier requires understanding each dog’s unique temperament and energy levels. I tailor their routines to ensure they feel loved, secure, and fulfilled. Whether it’s a brisk walk, interactive play, or simply giving them the attention they crave, I’m committed to providing them with the care and companionship they deserve. My services include personalized walking routines, tailored feeding schedules, and administering medication with precision and care. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a comforting cuddle, or specialized care, I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and happy while ensuring their overall well-being. Your furry family member will be in trusted hands!

About: I'm often called Dr. Dolittle or the dog whisperer because the animals usually take to me very well. I've had a pet most of my life. I have always loved animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, I have also had birds and fish. I will treat you pet just like my own. I will surely treat your fur baby as you wish but I've known to spoil them a little. I no longer have dogs of my own, but I do keep my grand dogs on occasion. I'm very flexible when it comes to pet care. I do travel on occasions. I work my schedule round pet caring. I live alone and I do have grown children that visit and are very comfortable with dogs. I will care for your pet as my own. However, if you have special needs or instructions I will follow your request. I will also keep notes of behavior so you will know if you pet is happy, unhappy or doing something out of their usual behavior.

About: With years of experience caring for dogs, I stand out as a pet sitter due to my ability to also look after my clients’ plants/garden from time-to-time. My lifelong passion for animals includes providing special care for young and senior dogs, ensuring their health and happiness. My current schedule varies, but I typically work 7-hour shifts on Sundays and Mondays. On the these dates, I can manage pet care for all dogs that have a wait period to be let out 4-8 hrs. If necessary, I have the flexibility to call off work to ensure your pets are well taken care of. From Tuesday to Saturday, I have open availability, allowing me to dedicate ample time to pet care activities, such as walks, feeding, and playtime. This arrangement helps me balance work commitments while ensuring your pets receiving the attention and care they need. In caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I ensure to follow detailed instructions provided by the client to meet the specific needs of their dog. For instance, if a dog is anxious during thunderstorms, I am proactive in reaching out via call or text to discuss calming strategies. Additionally, I always clarify any boundaries regarding what I can handle or access in the home and to build a stronger rapport, I will arrange pre-sitting meetings with clients to better understand their preferences and to bond with their dog(s).

“I highly recommend Mackenzie! She did an excellent job caring for our pups while we were out of town. She gave them plenty of exercise, love, and attention. I was confident the dogs were in capable hands the entire time. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family member book Mackenzie.”


“Bri was punctual and very communicative! She was kind and caring to my entire zoo, and was great with both my timid puppy and my difficult diabetic dog. I've been through a dozen Rover pet sitters but Bri is the first one I trust to take care of my pets the way I would. I'll definitely be requesting Bri again!”


About: With a lifelong love for dogs, I had the pleasure of caring for my Yorkshire Terrier since 2015. Despite his small size and lively personality, though he was not fond of other dogs he still remained incredibly lovable. Sadly, he passed away in 2019 due to heart issues. In addition to my experience, I have provided pet sitting services for my mentor's dog during the summer, and I walk one dog during the week. My dedication to ensuring the well-being and happiness of every furry friend entrusted to me makes me an ideal choice as an reliable and compassionate dog walker. I'll make sure your dog is safe and loved (and maybe a little spoiled too) 💜 I can go from 12am-5pm (I'll let you know if there is any changes), I'm mostly available weekdays (depends on my schedule) Not available on weekends or Thursday unless said otherwise. I'll make sure the house is just as clean as your left it. Nothing that'll harm the dog if they get their paws on it. I can crate your dog if needed, I'm handy with a leash (pull leashes or regular ones) and I'll make sure that there's no altercations with other dogs.

About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active. With a love for all breeds and a commitment to personalized care, I offer dog walking services that go beyond just a quick stroll. Whether it’s a lively adventure or a calm, scenic walk, I treat your furry friend like my own—ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.

Caring for your pets is what I’m here for! Whether they need a walk, food, water, litter box cleaner, someone to play with, or get some affectionate attention I’m here to provide. Should this be a situation I am happy to also bring mail or newspapers in as well as water plants and feed any fishes you may also be pet-parenting.
