“Jordan is wonderful with my senior dog! She is highly detailed in her care and provides the most exciting daily midday walks/play. Her rover card summaries are very descriptive and so much fun to read. Choose Jordan if you want the best!”

“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”

“We had a last minute trip and Victoria saved the day. She took great care of our dog Poe who has separation anxiety. She made sure he felt comfortable and safe. She also sent plenty of pictures and reported back on how he was acting on his walks which made us feel more comfortable as well. I’d definitely use her again.”

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I would be honored to care for your pet friends! I currently have two sweet cats that I adore, and I frequently watch my family’s Havanese dog. I also have experience pet sitting and walking larger dogs, so I am comfortable with pets of all sizes. I have experience working with all ages, from helping with puppy and kitten training to providing gentle care to elderly pets. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. My pets have big personalities, so I understand pets’ unique quirks and am happy to follow any special routines. Just let me know how I can help! My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! My Rover calendar is up to date with my availability, so don’t hesitate to reach out for any pet sitting, dog walking, or drop in visits. During visits, I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine for feeding, playtime, litter box care, or walks. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always respect my clients’ homes while providing loving, reliable care.
“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”

“Jessica was very organized and extremely reliable. She went over everything (and more) that we needed to touch on at our meet and greet. As walks went on, she was very communicative, and worked with me to come up with creative ideas on how to manage my dog’s significant fears. He was an abused rescue, so he is shy and gets easily scared of noises and people. I will definitely be having her walk again!”

“Brittany is amazing! She is extremely professional and even brought some home made treats for my pup pup. My dog took to her immediately and loved their walkies together.”


About: I work from home with a flexible schedule. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well. No matter the age, the work day is a long time for them to be alone and I’ll get them outside for potty and back in for some pets and snuggles. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. I have base access and can also get them to the vet if you can’t get away from work. I will come over and ensure your home is safe and secure upon entering and leaving. If they’re not sleeping in the living room I’ll go find them in the house and get them outback in your fenced yard or on a walk to get their potty and exercise break in.

About: I’ve had experience with animals at all ages and different breeds. I’ve had my golden doddle puppy in college for 2 years while playing division 1 lacrosse so I know the importance for animal love but I am also dependable, passionate, and trustworthy. I’m available 24/7 and I am very flexible and understand summers can be busy and unpredictable. I will work with whatever time works best for you and your animals :) I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own that loves company and is very friendly. I have creates if need be and also in a nice neighborhood for long walks :)
About: I've cherished and taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 7. I've had a dog in my life since then (mostly large breeds) and I can't imagine my life without one. I've had cats in the past and I love their feisty and sometimes lazy personalities but my husband has an allergy so we can't have one. I've rehabilitated squirrels, chickens and have helped several dogs recover from surgeries (ACL, stitches, spay, neuter, etc) My husband and son often joke with me and call my pups my "dogtourage" because they follow me around anywhere I go. I think animals are amazing and couldn't imagine a life without them. They deserve all the best in the world. I recently made the decision to lower my stress and simplify my life. I now have the time and flexibility to do this more. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them and all their different personalities. Rover gives me a chance to do that and also earn a little to feed my pups while doing so. :) I have 3 acres double fenced to accommodate large and small dogs while keeping them safe. My pups are my family and I believe all fur babies (cats and dogs) should be treated that way. Mine are very active and chase each other around the property until they are tired, then nap and repeat. They love to meet and play with new friends. Your pets will be treated the same as I treat mine with lots of snuggles and kisses.
About: I currently have a boxer that we’ve had since a puppy. She is 12. I have dog sat for friends and walked there dogs as well. I work from home and am looking for creative ways to get some exercise during the day. Walking your dog is a great way to have some fun while getting some steps in and I love dogs. I work from home so I can easily break away for walks and pet visits (drop ins). I think a 20-30 minute walk with your dog will be a nice break for me and good exercise for your dog. I always walk my dog on a leash. If I’m at a park where it is acceptable I’ll take my dog off the leash for fetch.
“Micaya deserves more than five stars. She was gentle, patient, and attentive to detail with Charlie. My German Shepard takes time to warm up to, but during our first meet and greet with Micaya, Charlie quietly lay next to her feet while we were talking. Micaya is Amazing she shared pictures and updates. Followed all instructions and was on time for scheduled walks. Micaya, you are loving and caring of our Fur family members.”
About: I have taken care of puppies from day 1, I have help trained all my parents dogs, they have 3 golden retrievers at the moment. I have always been the person my parents friends want to come watch there animals. I am going to school at Anne Arundel Community College, and have a lot of free time during the day and night. Almost anytime you need me I can be there with your baby. I can take the dog on long walks or through a ball all day if the dog wants too. I am very patient with all dogs and cats.
“Kimberly was great with communicating about the walk with my dog. She gave detailed explanations and took a few pictures. She was also able to accommodate a next day walk which is always great! I definitely recommend her!”


“Shemoy did amazing with the pups, and really saved me after a last minute cancellation. Always on time and took lots of pictures. My dogs, who can sometimes be judgey, took to liking Shemoy right away. Definitely recommended as a sitter/walker!”

“You can tell Alexis is an animal lover watching her interact with your pets. My dog absolutely ADORES Alexis! She is very punctual, attentive, and extremely kind. I am very picky about who I trust with my pup (she has an autoimmune disorder that can come on out of nowhere) and I feel very comfortable having her look after my dog knowing she’s in good hands.”

About: Hi, my name is Gaby and I am a big animal lover, but dogs are definitely the best. Throughout the years, I have had many different dog breeds and now currently have a Doberman and Japanese Akita. I love all dogs and believe there is no such thing as an aggressive breed, just a misunderstood pup. I currently have the ability to be readily available any time of the day. This allows me to cater to your loving pups needs and daily/weekly routine. I read the instructions left by you the owner very thoroughly to ensure the safety of your pup throughout our interaction. I want to ensure your pup feels extremely comfortable throughout the entire process.
