“Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.”


“Bria was fantastic. This was our first time booking with her and the meet and greet went smoothly. She took excellent care of both Hampton and Neko and kept our home clean and tidy. We felt completely at ease while we were away. We are already looking forward to having her sit for us again soon. Highly recommend.”


“I highly recommend Christine. She communicates regularly and shows genuine love for my dogs. I will continue to use Christine over and over again. My dogs are so happy with her and I am so happy knowing they are well taken care of. Thanks, Christine!”


“Jennifer was awesome! She stayed at our house with Annie and took care of everything. Will definitely book her again if needed. Highly recommend her if you need a sitter.”


“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”


“Lexi did a great job with our three dogs. It was very reassuring knowing that our pups were well taken care of while we were gone. She communicated with us to keep us informed with how things were going and sent us photos of our fuzzballs. We will definitely have her house sit for us again.”


“Just wow. Emily stayed at our home for a little over a week and cared for dog like he was her own. Our dog is anxious and has leash reactivity as well as some long term health issues. She was knowledgeable in handling him and managed his daily med administrations. Emily also went above and beyond by doing two in-person meet ups to get acquainted with Bouldin, snuggled with him, and bathed him prior to our return. We will be a customer of Emily's for as long as she will have us. Light years better than any dog resort/boarding facility.”


“This was our second time using Katie. We got great photos every day, she brought mail and packages in. She even did our recycling cans for us. House looked amazing when we got home, and we knew our dog and cat were well loved.”


“My dog seemed very happy and my house was well looked after. Gavin was great. Very loving and attentive to my dog. I got pictures daily and that gave me peace of mind.”


“Jayla was patient and loving to our dog who for the first day and a half was acting very weird and hiding out in one of the bedrooms. Jayla was very communicative and her concern showed through her texts. Turns out it was the fire alarm beeping because the batteries were dying. Our dog was very happy once the batteries were removed!! Jayla stayed overnight and maintained a spotless house for when we returned. She was respectful and loving toward our pet.”


About: I have gained so much experience with animals over the years that I have been jokingly nicknamed “the animal whisperer” and Snow White. I have had dogs and a cat my whole life, as well as watching friends, coworkers, family members and networks pets. I also have experience in animal husbandry & care from my last research position. I accept all furry friends and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, and rodents! I currently work full time, approximately 6am-5pm (including my commute), so I am available any day after 5 for a dinner time walk or an overnight stay if pups or cats are okay being left alone for a bit. Please keep this in mind, especially regarding seniors or puppies. If your babies are used to that then I am totally fine with it. On weekends, however, I am available any time! I am able to follow any instructions given from the client and do have experience giving medication as well. I am attentive, will provide updates, always looking out for their well-being, and loving. I will provide the most comfortable & approachable aura that I can to make all fur-babies feel safe 💕

“I would give Tracey 10 stars a million times over if I could!! It feels like an absolute gift to have stumbled upon her Rover profile. We’ve been struggling with cat sitters for years, and after working with Tracey, we FINALLY feel so happy to have found someone trustworthy, loving, caring, responsible, and communicative. Our cats have NEVER felt comfortable with strangers, but Tracey was absolutely incredible at getting the kitties to warm up to her, and we know they felt extremely safe with her. She sent frequent pictures so we always knew our babies were happy. And she left our home spotless and in great condition. We are so thankful for Tracey and can’t wait to use her services again next time we travel! Thank you Tracey!”


“Vikki cared so well for my small dog and best of all, she kept me posted at all times was never hard to get a hold of her. I could tell how much she genuinely enjoyed taking care of my dog and it made me incredibly happy. She’s amazing and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”


“Julia was awesome, she toke great care of our dog who isnt used to being alone She has wonderful communication and we could tell penny was well take care of :) we highly recommend Thank you :)”


About: I love four legged (or less) family members and pets. I currently have two pets of my own - a chill 5 year old Australian & Shephard mix, and a fierce independent 6 year old cat. I provide two walks daily for boarders, day care and housesitting, reoccurring walks and drops in for cats and dogs. I am conveniently located 12 min drive from BWI, 14 drive from the Baltimore Greyhound station and less than 5 minutes away from two pet hospitals. What will your fur baby need for their stay? Their food and treats, and we got the rest. Beds, toys, bowls, & Easy Walks and Leash will be used. Dogs must wear a collar and/or be microchipped. If no collar is worn, one will be provided. Cats will be able to stretch their legs freely, enjoy tall cat trees, beds and windowsill perches. Litter/litter box will be provided. What to Know Before Booking: • Meet-and-Greet before their stay, drop-in, day care or housesitting. A 15-20 minute to discuss pet needs will be conducted in the backyard or at your home (drop in, walking or housesitting). • Daily Communication: 1-2 updates a day with photos. Detailed rover cards for walks and drops ins. You will find me to be flexible, reliable and a great pet photographer! • Free-roaming vs. Crates: Dogs will free roam during the day while at home, unless they would benefit from being crated/ require a space to feel safe. At night dogs will either free roam or sleep in crate. •Ensure Safety and Cleanliness: Pet items are routinely washed, including your own. All humans will hand off pets and items outside. Keeps the house clean and Saint/ Amada (dog and cat) and other humans who live here happier. •Hygiene: Just as humans get dolled up for travel. Please de-shed, groom and or bathe, trim toenails and use flea/tick prevention as applicable for guests. Terms of Service beyond Rover's: Furry guests must be friendly, non-aggressive, get along with cats and can be left alone (constant care will be the standard rate x 2.5% excluding holiday rates). Luxury Pet Stay: Humans and/or dogs who require to be the only guest will have different pricing $105/ night excluding holiday rates or $50/ day care. What to Expect During Drop off and Pick-Up All pickups and drop-offs are conducted outdoors. We are a no-outdoor shoes household. Please text when you arrive; I will bring your pet and belongings outside. Flexible Pickup and Drop Off Between 9am -9pm. After Hours Pickup and Drop will incur an additional $20 per pickup/drop off or an additional night at standard rate. I am in graduate school, when I'm not studying or in class I have time for taking care of other's fur babies. Caring for pets keeps me sane and brings me joy. At home there is a sizable fenced back yard (6 feet privacy fence) with a Australian/ German shepherd mix who is super friendly, & a cat who sticks to the window. We have plenty of dog toys, treats ( I won't tell the vet), sizeable beds, food bowls and cuddles.
