About: As a proud pet parent managing a busy two-dog household, I know firsthand what it takes to keep multiple pups safe, structured, and happy. My family and cousins rely on me as their primary, trusted dog sitter because I treat every dog like my own. Beyond daily walking, I specialize in senior dog care managing slow-paced mobility needs, recognizing subtle comfort cues, and administering precise medicine schedules with extreme patience. When your dog is with me, they get the seasoned expertise of a daily caretaker who truly understands canine behavior.

About: I’m an experienced kitten foster parent with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve trained my own cats to walk on leashes and master basic tricks, and I bring that same patience and care to every pet I meet. I'm a huge dog lover too—and I will definitely ask to pet your dog! I also like all types of animals. I currently have pet fish, but love snakes, guinea pigs, the whole zoo! I work remotely so I can hang around your pet as needed! I can come morning, lunch time or evening to check on your pet. I have reliable transportation and flexible schedule I have experienced coaxing pets with food as needed. I have a good ability to gain pets’ trusts and speak with a calm relaxing voice. I have that vibe animals really love.
About: Over the years I've helped friends, family members, and neighbors with cat & dog care, ranging from walks to playtime and feeding. I am comfortable with reinforcing good behavior and obedience training. I work remotely most days, so I'm able to arrange regular times to care for pets, whether it's a mid-day walk, feeding breakfast or dinner, or administering medications before bedtime. I make sure all pet-accessible areas remain safe and clean. I do regular checks for hazardous items and clean up any accidents. If any toys or bedding become damaged to the point that they could cause harm to a pet, I secure them away from the pet and notify the owner.

About: Been around dogs majority of my childhood. Had my own for 10+ years, so I know firsthand what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and loved , daily walks, regular feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m patient, observant, and treat every dog like my own. I pay close attention to routines, cues, and comfort, and I’m someone your dog will genuinely enjoy spending time with Blessed to be in a position where I have extra free time at home. I’d love to use it taking care of my favorite animal! I live in a big 1 bedroom apartment with extra loft space upstairs, my complex has a doggy park outside also! I’m open to leaving pads around the house and all that is requested to make your dog comfortable.
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dog for about 3 year. I had dogs in past. I also have a dog and cat. My friends and family have relied on me to walk their pets, bathe it and play with them. I have a love for animals since I was little. I’m currently a full time student at Towson University. I have all of my classes all in the morning which the rest of the afternoon and between classes i will be able to take care of dogs/ cats . I have a fenced yard, if the dog needs to be back in its crate I can easily put them back in the crate. I also feed the dog, take it on long walks, and if you allow it to give the dog a pup cup or go to the dog park.
About: I've been a go-to pet sitter since I was 12, starting with dog walking as my first real job. Friends and family trust me so much they have referred me to others, and now I've got fur nieces and nephews all over the country. Whether it’s puppies or senior pets, I make sure they feel loved on and happy. Working from home gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my routine. I currently have a cat and share pet duties with my roommate, so I'm used to balancing responsibilities. Plus, I miss being more active, and pet care is a perfect way to stay active and enjoy time with furry friends. It’s a win-win for all of us! I like to learn the pets regular home routine & abide by the rules of the house. From there, it’s important for me to make the transition feel seamless. I give them a lot of love & reassurance especially if I sense their feeling anxious or confused. I also love to incorpore long walks and more active play time to help them expend some energy and hopefully soothe any anxiety. I would determine the right type of activities based on their temperament & guidance from their owner.
About: Your dog will be like family when staying with us. We have a Redbone Coonhound mix pup (8/1/22) and a Weimaraner (3/24/23) that loves to play with other dog visitors. We are an active family that likes to get outside, go on walks and play in the yard. Your doggy will be tired by the end of the day after playing with us. Treats are plentiful and lots of love and attention are given. I’ve been around dogs all my life and started off watching dogs in their homes, to dog walks, to having our own dogs, to now boarding in our home. Our dogs are like our children and yours will be treated the same when he/she comes into our home. Any dog we board must be comfortable around kids and other dogs. Crate trained preferred. Any aggressive behavior, we will have to cancel stay early. All furry friends must be up to date on their shots, heartworm and flea/tick meds. My husband and I both work, but have different hours, so that someone is home most of the time. The longest we would be gone would be 4 hours. We have lots of space to run outside in our fenced in yard. Your pup will be tired by the end of the day here!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burtonsville
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 — Highly Recommend Tristan! Tristan was new to me and my two fur babies after our regular pet sitter was unavailable, and I couldn’t have been happier with him. He went above and beyond to build a relationship with my dogs, taking the time to socialize with them and make them feel comfortable and cared for. He was especially attentive to their individual medication needs, following their medication protocols carefully and giving each of them one-on-one attention. Tristan was also respectful, dependable, punctual, and very considerate of my home and property. I would absolutely give Tristan a 10 out of 10! He has earned my trust and will definitely become one of my regular pet sitters. I highly recommend Tristan to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets with genuine care and attention. 🐾❤️

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Burtonsville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Burtonsville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
