“We can't say enough good things about Melissa Z. We will miss her and so will our fur babies now that we have moved to DE. I wish her all the best. She is an awesome pet sitter. Ours loved her!!!”
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals and have over a decade of experience as the primary caretaker for my own senior Pittie mix. This personal journey has given me a deep understanding of senior dog needs, “big personality” breeds, and the importance of patient, consistent care. Over the years, I’ve served as a dedicated dog walker and sitter for friends and neighbors, adapting to a wide variety of temperaments and energy levels. I pride myself on providing a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every pet I meet. Baltimore city local with a flexible WFH schedule! I am available for weekday walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Because I work from home, I can offer consistent timing and am often available for last-minute needs or recurring midday visits. I’d love to help make your workday easier! Safety is my top priority! Inside your home, I am extremely respectful of your space and privacy, ensuring doors are locked and your pet is safely secured before I leave. I’m also happy to provide photo updates through the app so you have complete peace of mind.
“Grace was always on time to the visits. She went far and beyond and did everything I requested. I'm grateful I had her to take care of padme. Definitely will pick her again for a future. Thank you Grace!”
“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!”
“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”
“Lindsay did an excellent job watching our cat while we were away. She sent many updates and photos. I wasn’t worried in the slightest - I could tell our cat was well taken care of. Thank you Lindsay!”
About: • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. I go above and beyond with detailed "report cards", daily photo and video updates, or regular check-ins via text or email. I take the time to build trust with nervous, shy, or reactive dogs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I work part-time from Saturday through Tuesday, but I'm completely free on my days off and on Monday mornings until 2:00 PM. I'd love to provide companionship and care during those times, ensuring your pet is never alone for long. I always match the owner’s exact routine to keep the pet calm. I provide tailored in-home care for all types of pets, ensuring they stay safe and happy in their own environment. I treat every home with respect and send regular updates so you have peace of mind
“If you need a cat sitter… JESSICA IS THE ONLY BEST/PERFECT option!! As someone who was very scared to leave my cat alone for the first time and not knowing anything about this app, I was very fortunate on finding Jessica to babysit my cat while I was away! She not only comes in to do her job, but she also makes sure to create a bond and play with your little friend! I have nothing but amazing things to say about her! She is the BEST!!! If anyone is worried about communication (like me) you have NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! Jessica would send me photos of my cat and a summary of how their days went very fast! And if I had any questions or concerns, she would always reply back ASAP! Jessica is the ONE to take care of your little friends! (:”
“Ariel was excellent and made my first experience on rover very pleasant! Her communication was great and my dogs were very happy as well. She was able to accommodate all my needs with very short notice. I would recommend her to anyone in the area that needs any assistance with your dogs!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently help care for 4 of my own at my home in Northern Kentucky, as well as my boyfriend’s dog (that I now co-own!) here in Baltimore. We’ve just recently moved here so we are still learning the spots, but we frequently walk in our neighborhood, down by the harbor, and in Patterson Park. As for cats, we don’t have any currently, but my old house in Louisville had 2 and I’ve grown up taking care of multiple. I work a normal 40 hr work week, but am happy to fill in to help with your pet needs. I work from home, so I’m available to come to you and watch your pets! And am always available on the weekends! In my own home, our dog has free range over the house! He rules the place! When I watch other dogs or cats, I like to give them freedom too but also keep a closer eye on them to make sure everything goes smoothly!
About: Hi my name is Brooke. I have been working one on one with animals since I was 8 years old. I currently work at a pet resort for dogs. I started out working full time on a horse farm while doing my own personal dog care on the side. Over the years I've learned that animals are my passion. I have no pets of my own but I have plenty of dogs at my work that i get to care for and that i get to play with my whole shift. I have a fenced in back yard and an air conditioned basement with lots of room for playtime and sunshine. I have a decent understanding of dog behavior and dog body language, and I have a very good eye for injury. I do have some sort of work schedule that i would need to work with but I am extremely flexible. I have a part time job working with dogs. I currently don't own any of my own pets. I have a car so I can go to homes where dogs feel most comfortable. I will act as a guest in your house and show the most respect. I will clean up after myself and your dog. I promise.

Brooklyn cat parents share their Rover experiences
Sylvia is 100% amazing!! On an international trip, my internet connection was super challenging (unexpectedly). Each time I was able to obtain signal, I was flooded with the best pictures of my Teddy, and great check ins from Sylvia. I immediately knew that Teddy was in great care and I was at ease in my heart. Sylvia's great communication and diligence was non-stop, even when my communication went down! This added so much literal PEACE to my time away. I will use her again and again in the future for sure.
Michelle took great care of my cats while I was away. She spent a full hour with them every day, and sometimes even longer, making sure they had fresh food, plenty of water, clean litter, and engagement. I especially appreciated how consistent and dependable she was with the daily care routine. One of my cats can be a little particular and attached to his usual way of playing, but Michelle made sure he was safe, cared for, and checked on. She also seemed to really bond with Emi, which meant a lot to me. It gave me peace of mind knowing they had someone patient and attentive coming by each day. I’d happily recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Rachel did an awesome job taking care of my two cats over a 16 day period. Her communication was great, and she took great pictures of my cats eating a playing. She also took care of the mail and trash. I would definitely rebook Rachel as a sitter, and strongly recommend her as a sitter!
I had an amazing experience with Christina during a week-long pet sitting for our 2 cats. Christina was caring and very patient with our shy kitties, which made all the difference. She was very professional, followed all my instructions and kept me updated everyday. Those daily updates put my mind to ease. I could tell that Christina genuinely cared for my pets. I would hire her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!
