“Kemmesha was amazing! From the beginning she was engaged with our 3 animals and sent us photos and videos while we were away. It made us feel much better about being gone for a week to know there was someone who cared watching our girls. Thank you!”
“Naya is AMAZING! We contacted her last minute for a very complicated case; our dog was coming out of the ER after being admitted for cluster seizures and she was still at risk for seizing again. Naya handled everything calmly and with excellent knowledge. She was a needle in a haystack for us! She asks great questions, and she is attentive and communicative. Thanks, Naya!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve worked at and managed a dog boarding facility for a little over two years in downtown Baltimore. I also have a pit bull mix and a beagle. My beagle is 10 who’ve I had since she was a puppy and my pity is about 5 who’ve I’ve also had since a puppy. My beagle has currently had to undergo a lot of surgeries so I can certainly take care of any high maintenance or elderly dogs. I work a full time job but when sitting or having animals to care for they will get tended to in the morning before work, immediately after I am off and before I go to bed/home. The weekends I am always free. Pets will not be welcome in my home as I have too many animals and unknown factors associated with that. When entering a clients home I will make sure the pet can hear me entering the home as to not startle them. I will always let them sniff me and see who I am before any further approach. Any treats that are allowed to be given while owners are away I will give. It ultimately depends on the animal and what is communicated to me about the personality and behaviors. I will always Ask questions if I am unsure of anything and never assume something based off the way I care for my personal pets. Everyone has different instructions and I intend to honor them.
“James has dog sat for us multiple times now! He sends frequent updates about how the dogs are doing and makes sure our home is well taken care of. We are confident our dogs are happy and cared for when James is with them and will continue to work with him whenever possible!”
“Amy is an absolute Godsend to our family! My dogs loved her right away. For the entire week we were away, she kept in close contact with me by responding to my texts asap and updating me on my dogs each day with pictures and videos. My dogs both adore her because she’s so kind and loving to them and importantly, they really respect her. I highly recommend Amy to watch your fur babies.”
“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Samantha stayed in our home with our two girls. She updated me everyday and was a very respectful house guest! Everything was tidy and just where we had left it. The girls were happy and I doubt they missed us at all 😂. I would definitely recommend Sam!”
“Finding Katie through Rover was the best thing I have ever done for myself and for my puppies. 3 words: she is amazing I went to California for 5 days and knowing she was taking care of my babies make my trip worry free. She sent plenty of updates and pictures so I could see they were happy. Beesly (my littlest) is generally standoffish and shy. I have real photographic evidence of Beesly covering Katie with 😘 If you are looking for a great, kind and responsible caregiver for your babies she really is the one.”
“Gavin was great. He loved our girls as much as we do!! He gave us constant updates on our girls along with pictures. He had to administer a last minute medication and did it successfully with care and love. He was neat and courteous of our home and I have already rebooked him for next weekend. I will not hesitate to book hm again in the future.”

“Morgan is friendly and sweet. I needed someone in a pinch and she jumped right in and took care of my two dogs. She was timely and attentive. I highly recommend using Morgan for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve had a dog all my life and started dog sitting in 2016! I’ve taken care of all sizes and types of dogs. I’ve kept many of the same families since I first started looked after all their fur babies! I work full-time from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular walk breaks, playtime, companionship, and lots of affection to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never left alone for long. I am very attentive when meeting the family and pets to learn what there commands and regular style of goi g out outside is to make sure if it’s an electric fence the collar goes on every time they are let out. In 8 years I’ve never had an accident!
“Cory was great! She took the time during our meet and greet to get to know our doggies, and they immediately loved her. She gave consistent updates with pictures during the weekend, and I didn’t worry once. We’ve had a difficult time finding someone to care for our dogs, so we’re SO happy that we found Cory.”
“Briana was great! We had a special situation where our two pups just met and so they had to be separated during her visit. And both of them are anxious. Briana handled it perfectly and was so sweet to them. From the minute we met her we knew she’d be excellent with our pups. She is reliable, responsible, communicative and so sweet. She gave us so much peace of mind we were able to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use her again. Highly Recommend!”

Gavin was exceptional watching our sweet pup! He was very proactive in communication & sending updates, and very responsive. Peu was well taken care of and he seemed very attentive to her needs. He did not shy away from her big personality (or the fact she is a 100 pound puppy), played well with her, and did an awesome job overall with her. Would definitely recommend!
Tanner took great care of our Labradoodle, Higgins, and our home for a 5 consecutive overnights! He was very responsive and kept us up to date on Higgins's activities with adorable photos. Tanner did a great job maintaining our guidelines for Higgins and training routines too, I felt relief on our trip knowing our fuzzy guy was in great (and professional) hands for an extended period. I'll definitely reach out again in for future trips. :) Higgins keeps asking when he'll get to see his friend Tanner again, haha. Thanks, Tanner!
Neel was great with my dog Annabelle! I highly recommend his services and highly appreciate him as he kept our place clean, and was very on top of updates and communication! I would like to add he was very flexible with the storm/bad weather on getting Annabelle outside and cared for.
Ariel was amazing! She accepted my very last-minute request and responded quickly right from the start. She kept me updated throughout the day and took great care of my very needy couch potatoes. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I will definitely be rebooking — thank you, Ariel!
Mikaela was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time leaving my anxious elder dog at home with a stranger so I was very nervous. Mikaela was willing to meet with us a few times before her stay which helped calm my nerves and allowed me to feel at ease as I left for my wedding weekend out of town. I would 100% recommend her and definitely plan to use her again in the future!
