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: I’ve had pets my whole life! I’ve been walking, feeding, and bathing dogs ever since I was little. It is second nature to me now! I am a law student currently on break, so I have full ability January 2-12. After that, I can be free mornings and afternoons on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and weekends! My dogs have a lot of energy so they get walked multiple times per day and also enjoy multiple long games of frisbee to get the extra energy out. I will meet the energy needs of your pet!
“Katherine was great! One of my pups has reactivity issues and it’s always making me nervous leaving him with someone else but Katie quickly showed that my concern was not necessary at all. 10/10 would recommend”
“Melissa was wonderful. She asked a bunch of questions that made me feel really comfortable knowing she understood my kitten. She was very communicative and sent me pictures which eased my anxiety a lot. She was very flexible when my plans changed last minute as well. Highly recommend!!”
“Title: Amazing Care and Attention to Detail! Review: From the very first meet and greet, Kyra made a fantastic impression on both us and our pups! She has a warm and caring energy that our dogs picked up on right away. Our husky, who loves attention, was thrilled with the scratches and pets from Kyra, and my shy little puppy, who’s usually reserved with new people, even warmed up to her quickly. Kyra's check-ins are thorough and filled with thoughtful updates, which gives us peace of mind knowing our pets are in such caring hands. If you're looking for someone who will spoil your dogs and treat them like their own, Kyra is the perfect choice!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or a little patience and encouragement, I’m happy to provide attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.
“My first time using Jules and DEFINITELY NOT my last. Jules was responsive and interactive with both of my dogs. She played with Roman and rubbed Coco like the princess she is. We will be booking again.”
“This is the second time Leah has watched my cats while I’m out of town and she is definitely my go-to cat sitter! She is thorough, gives my cats lots of love, sends great pics of them, and my cats love her. I totally trust her taking care of them while I am out of town and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
About: I have a big yellow Labrador and I have been taking care of him all of his life! He is 14 so he is a senior and I have watched younger dogs many times also! I am a college student so right now I have the summer off, but I work mainly on the weekends for Howard County as sports tournament staff! While visiting a clients home I can easily make sure the pet will be safe based on what the pet’s needs are! I am also a collegiate athlete so I will be an active sitter/walker for your pet!
“Jun did great job with drop-in visits for my dog Jax. He came on short notice and ensured my pup was in good hands. He made sure to communicate any concerns that came up and helped Jax become comfortable with him. I would definitely use Jun again.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover. For 16 years I was the proud mom to a special needs pup. I'm excited to care for your pets! I currently share my home with 3 cats & have been a devoted pet owner since childhood, caring for both cats and dogs and bunnies! Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, walks, feeding or just some comforting while your away, I'm here to provide safe, reliable, & loving care.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have had Labrador Retrievers in my family since the day I was born. Being around dogs has always been second nature to me, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I actually started dog sitting when I was about 10 years old—long before apps like Rover existed! I made little newsletters and put them in my neighbors’ mailboxes offering pet sitting and dog walking services. In high school, I had a regular job with a neighbor where I would let their dogs out every day after school for several years. Caring for animals has always been something I’ve done naturally, and I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. I work fully remote from 9–5, which gives me a lot of flexibility when caring for pets. I’m able to stay with your dog and work from your home during the day, and I can also stop by to let them out during gaps in meetings or over my lunch break. Because I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time, and I’m able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends and can stop by to let dogs out as needed. I love being active and going on walks, so taking dogs out for walks fits perfectly into my daily routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow the owner’s routine and preferences as closely as possible. I know every dog is different, and I’m happy to do whatever helps them feel most comfortable while you’re away. I’m very respectful of other people’s homes and will treat your space with care. If you have a fenced yard, I’m happy to let your dog out to play and get some fresh air. If not, I’m more than happy to take them out on walks for exercise and bathroom breaks. I can also crate your dog if that’s part of their normal routine, provide meals, refresh water, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away
About: Growing up my family had 2 border terriers so I am familiar with the terrier breed and am used to the high-energy personalities. I also grew up with golden retrievers; my next door neighbor was a breeder and I would go over after school and help take care of the puppies and play with them. My first job when I was younger was to take care or neighbors pets while they were on vacation. Dogs, cats, fish, snakes you name it! My sister has a dog, my friends have dogs, and I can’t wait to have my own soon! My work schedules changes every month, but it is very flexible. I live less than 1 mile from work. This gives me the maximum amount of time to take care of and love your pet! I work 630-3 Monday-Friday and come home for lunch everyday. I wake up early, I get home early and I come home for lunch everyday. My work is very accommodating if I need for leave work for any reason. My dog loving wife works from home as well. I currently have no pets of my own so I can give 100% attention to yours! I’m happy to crate your pet if you wish and have no problem letting them roam freely at my house if they stay over.
Brooklyn dog parents share their Rover experiences
Stephanie, was great, I was going away for a day trip in New York with my daughter and we met. She was very nice very pleasant by Dogs liked her. We scheduled three visits for the day. She came on time and followed the instructions that I left for her. She was very professional as a dog border myself. I really appreciate it her.
Katherine was fantastic with taking care of my plants while I was on vacation. She is extremely friendly, courteous, and detail oriented. She followed detailed instructions without any problems. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking to take care of their plants or animals. I will be using indefinitely.
Daniel was able to help us out last minute with watching our dog over the weekend. We have a very timid dog who can be difficult to walk if he’s scared and Daniel was able to do a meet and greet and was able to gently connect with him and handle him over the weekend without any problems. He asked a lot of specific questions during the meet and greet in order to best care for our pup and sent a lot of updates throughout his visits.
A pleasure to work with. Very professional. I can't say enough about Quin. She cared for our dog, Wahini and rabbits , while we were gone, sending daily texts and photos of their adventures. We came home to a happy happy, well-fed dog. . Knowing she was in such loving, attentive hands put my mind completely at ease. We'll definitely book with Quin again!".
Catherine took wonderful care of Bella. When a few unexpected issues came up, Catherine handled them calmly and efficiently, keeping us informed and problem-solving without hesitation. Bella was comfortable, happy, and well cared for when we returned, which says everything. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, Catherine gave us peace of mind and earned our full trust. We would gladly recommend her to anyone who wants their pet treated like family.
Cheyenne checked in on our three pets (2 dogs, 1 cat) while we were away. She gave them lots of snuggles and they immediately warmed up to her. Even my shy kitty came out to say hi and fight for pets from her, my dogs were taking all of her time/hands haha. Cheyenne was very responsive, and did everything i asked her to do! (it was a lot). Thank you, Cheyenne. We will most definitely keep you in mind for future trips!
Solomiya became Chino’s new best friend. She was very attentive, reporting and checking with us promptly. We are happy to have found her in our neighborhood not only for convenience but also someone we can truly rely on. Will be reaching out to her for future dog boarding or checkins.
