About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, they’ve been a part of my life since I was born. Growing up, I cared for 5 guinea pigs, two horses, fish, and several dogs. I currently have two dogs of my own: a Husky and a Dachshund, both of whom I’ve trained and cared for since they were puppies. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, basic training, maintaining routines, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I’m patient when it comes to earning their trust. Whether it’s encouraging a picky eater, keeping an energetic dog active, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a business owner who works from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home for most of the day and make time for your pet whenever needed. Whether your dog needs extra attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, or just companionship, I can easily adjust my schedule to make sure they receive the love, care, and supervision they deserve. Your pup will be treated like part of the family in my home! I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play, plus two friendly fur babies who love making new friends. I provide comfy dog beds, plenty of toys, treats (with your permission), and lots of love and attention. I also enjoy taking dogs on fun adventures, whether that’s a trip to the dog park, a nice walk around the neighborhood, or even stopping for a pup cup. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and has a great time while you’re away.
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. I’m currently on Summer Break from being a full time student and I’m looking for an activity to keep me busy and active. I look forward to including your amazing pups into my schedule. Cheers to a fun summer for all! I’m I have two dogs that can keep your dogs amazing company! With many family members your dogs will always have the best and most safe care you can imagine!

Allowing them to get used to me and be as happy as possible. I have a fenced yard with lots of toys so your dogs will be happy, played with,and tired by the time they come home!!
About: I love dogs and because sadly I don’t have one of my own, I like to take my friends dogs for walks! In my free time, I also like to volunteer at animal shelters so I can spend some time walking the shelter dogs before they find their furever homes :) I am currently in between jobs, so I can be available Monday to Sunday for your cat sitting and or dog walking needs! Other times, I usually spend my day spoiling my 3 cat children! I can take care of your cat while you’re away on vacation or running errands. I have had cats for more than half my life, so taking care of them comes very naturally to me.In your absence, I can spend quality time with them so you can feel happy and content leaving for your vacation!
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!

About: I genuinely love dogs and enjoy adapting to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m a very active person who loves being outdoors, so I’m always happy to go on long walks, play, and keep energetic dogs engaged. At the same time, I’m patient and calm, which helps dogs feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether your dog wants an adventure or just a companion to hang out with, I’m happy to be exactly what they need. As a recent college grad, I currently have a very flexible schedule, and I am taking some time during the summer before starting the next chapter of my career pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being outdoors whether it’s going for walks playing or simply keeping a pet company care for animals is something I find rewarding and look forward to. When caring for pets, I like to follow the routine they are already used to so they feel safe and comfortable.

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.

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.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
