“Lidia rescued my cat from another sitter/bad situation. Knowing that my cat had been traumatized, she was very sensitive to my cat’s needs, was kind, gentle, and also kept me in constant touch and with as many pictures and updates as I needed to feel my cat was safe. 12/10 - Lidia is amazing ❤️”
About: I am a big animal lover! I have had many animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pig & ducks!) I also pet sit for a family who had 3 cats, I have worked with them for 1 year now. I currently have an orange tabby named Theo, he is my world. Me & my spouse adopted him 2 years ago from the Humane Society & he has been the perfect addition to our little family. I am here to love your fur babies! Please feel reach out me with any questions. Thanks! I work a regular full time job. I have fostered 2 cats before and it was a wonderful experience. Most of the time spent with the cats, would be in the morning and all evening long after work to take care and love them. I have an apartment building that is very secure, you can only gain access the to building if you have a key fob. The animals have plenty of space to move around and be free, or sleep super comfy on my furniture.
About: I’ve recently started pet sitting for friends and family and found it very rewarding. At home I am use to looking after my dog Remy who is an 90 pound poodle mix along with my cat Mia. They both are a handful but they are members of the family that have prepared me for looking after others. I am currently attending graduate school and am looking to start work near my home. I am always looking for opportunities to pay my way while helping others. I will work to make time in my schedule to accommodate yours! I always try and be friendly and patient. At home my dog Remy takes medication nightly while also having quiet the personality. His boisterous nature can be hard to rein in but when he is given his time he settles.
“Sylvia did a wonderful job again. The kitties love her. I think she must bathe in catnip lol. They really have fun with her. She takes great pics and leaves my home in great shape. I always try to book with her when I'm out of town.”
“Sarah did an amazing job looking after my ~9 month old cat while I was gone! She sent lots of photo updates to let me know that things were okay, and the my baby seemed very well taken care of. She cleaned the litter box and gave her lots of fresh water, just like I asked. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.
About: I have 4 years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats, and a lifetime of love for them.

I am welcome to special requests and love pets with all kinds of personalities.
About: I always love being around dogs. I enjoy taking dogs on walks in dog parks and through t neighborhoods. I can do anything when it comes to taking care of dogs. Dog owners will be in good hands. I am working full time but I can make time for what is needed when it comes to taking care of your pet. Working together is a major plus. Currently I live in a home where I’m not allowed to own a pet. When it comes to taking care of pets in a clients home I’m capable of doing pretty much anything.
About: Hello! My name is Lauren. I know it can be nerve wracking being away from your pet, even if it’s just for a few hours. With previous experience working in a veterinary office and pet care for many years, I want to help! I’ve been able to assist many family, friends, and others over the years and have been around animals all my life. I just moved to Maryland and am getting back to Rover again. I look forward to seeing them and taking care of them as if they were my own. I’m currently looking for a job, so I do have a lot of free time. I am able to help in feeding, walking, and playing. I am very transparent and like to update each visit. We can review what that looks like beforehand. Safety is a priority and I want to make this experience excellent for both you and your pet.
“Kathleen was a lifesaver. We were away for a day trip and had scheduled her to walk our dog mid-day. While we were on the trip we had an emergency that made it impossible for us to get home to walk and feed our dog that evening as planned. Kathleen was quick to respond and helped us out last-minute for a second visit the same day.”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs and cats, so I have lots of experience caring for both. My mom currently has 3 lab mixes and one of them is, unfortunately, getting up there in age and when I visit her, I try to help as much as I can, so I have experience caring for older dogs. I have one dog of my own who is my best friend! He’s a 6 year old black lab with nonstop enthusiasm for walks, chasing squirrels, and sniffing his way through every park in Baltimore City. He is also a fearless rat patroller! We have had him since he was a puppy, so I have been able to get experience training him and learning to work with, and love, all of his quirks, and I’m excited to do the same for your pets! I work a normal 40 hr work week, but am happy to fill in to help with your pet needs. I work from home mostly, so outside of my occasional in office days, I’m available to be with your pets through the day during the week! I am always available on the weekends. I have my own dog and a partner who works occasional odd or long hours, so there are times I will have to head back home to check on my own pup! In my own home, our dog has free range over the house! He rules the place and, unfortunately, doesn’t get along with other dogs, so I’m not able to offer boarding services in my home. While I’m at yours or with your pet, I will treat them like my own - lots of love, occasional treats (as many as are okay with you), and whatever else they may need! I’d love to have detailed instructions on how to care for your pet, so I can make sure they are as comfortable as they can be!

About: Since I was a kid I've been the person neighbors, friends, and family have relied on to watch their fur babies of all shapes and sizes. From maintaing clean litter boxes to taking long walks around the neighborhood, spending time with fur babies of all ages is my passion. While the parents are not home, it is all snuggles and play time. I devote my full attention to keeping our furry friends entertained and happy until their parents return. **Please Understand That if I am Contacted Before 8AM or After 10PM, I will not be able to respond in a timely manner as I too enjoy sleep** I am currently going back to school online, so I'll be able to spend plenty of time hanging with the pups and kitties just goofing around and snuggling. In my client's home, I will be respectful of their property. I can ensure the pets are fed and provided fresh water. I will clean after the animals if there is an accident, and will help maintain tidy litterboxes. If the owner has a fenced in yard that they prefer for the dog to potty in, I will still go behind and bag the fresh poop.
“Amanda was fantastic! She was very communicative throughout our trip and sent great Rover Cards with detailed updates and photos. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and took a lot of pride in making sure they were happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Amanda and would happily book with her again!”
“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
“We love Jojo! She is excellent and provides great care for our babies. We felt confident leaving them in her care. She actually cares about our pets, which we have found to be rare among pet sitters. This was our 2nd time booking her and we will book again when we need someone!”

Stephenie is amazing person. I contacted her for some drop-in visit for my 3 cats and she did a great job. She is very profesional, responsable and respectful. She is very responsive and comunicative. I'm pretty sure my cats loved her visits while I was on vacations. Absolutely I would uses her services again, I'm very grateful with her and I recommend 100%. Thanks.
Bri was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! She asked good questions and took notes when we met initially and was excited to meet the cats. I have a gregarious kitty and a very shy kitty and I was a little worried about leaving him with a stranger, but Bri met him were he was and earned his trust to where he was coming out to the common areas instead of hiding. She even helped feed our stray cat! Can't praise her highly enough. Thank you so much!
Alex was absoltuely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were doing well and were comfortable. She kept their litter box super clean and was always trying to find them when they were being shy to make sure they were doing good. I also very much appreciate the daily photos and thorough updates!
HANNAH IS THE BEST - Makes a point to play with our kittens on every visit and even tries to change up the toys based on their interests AND ALSO IS SO GOOD ABOUT CLEANING!! I have never asked or specified cleaning instructions because I didn't them to worry about that stuff but whenever I come back the area where the cats eat (which normally can get very messy) is spotless and all the cat cans are nicely rinsed out and thrown in the recycling bin. Still not something I would require or expect from from her but I ABSOLUTELY appreciate it!!
Sylvia was absolutely wonderful. She’s very communicative and reliable and took wonderful photos of my cat each day. I felt very comforted knowing she was taking such great care of him while I was away. Also, my apartment building requires a fob and has somewhat complicated access and she was able to easily navigate all of those logistics. I will definitely request Sylvia in the future - thank you!
Brittany was fantastic as my cat sitter taking great care of my "Babba" as I just returned from a 5 day trip. Her love of cats, attention to details, promptness, tidiness, etc., etc. was exceptional! She is also so nice and easy going. I highly recommend Brittany for anyone looking for a reliable, trusting, kitty loving sitter.
Rebecca is an amazing cat sitter! She is so kind, attentive, and incredibly responsive. When my cat's automatic feeder stopped working, she handled it right away—making sure my cat got fed and fixing the machine herself. Knowing my cat was in such caring and capable hands made my trip stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care!
Finding someone you trust to care for your pets is never easy, but Quintunya has been everything I could have hoped for in a pet sitter. She has been caring for my two cats, Pudd and Puma, for the past year. From the very beginning, Quintunya has treated my fur babies with so much love, patience, and kindness. It's obvious that she genuinely cares about them. Knowing that Pudd and Puma are safe, loved, and receiving so much attention while I'm away gives me incredible peace of mind. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were her own, I wholeheartedly recommend Quintunya. She is truly one of a kind, and Pudd, Puma, and I are so lucky to have her in our lives.

Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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.
