“I recently started using Angela for drop-in visits with my puppy, Melo, and I couldn’t be happier! She has already completed two visits, and I can tell Melo really likes her—he’s relaxed and happy when I get home. The photos she sends during each visit truly put my heart at ease and let me know he’s in good hands. It’s such a relief to find someone caring, reliable, and attentive. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she provides, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and care for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to towering Great Danes. I’ve been a devoted dog owner my entire life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing a calm and loving presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 2:45 PM, which allows me to provide attentive pet care during afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I’m fully available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, giving your pet plenty of dedicated time for walks, play, and companionship.

I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, exercise, medication, or play preferences. I make sure to give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement so your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I also keep the environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. My goal is to create a calm, loving atmosphere that feels just like home.
“Mel took great care of our three cats. She even noticed that one of our kitties needed to be brushed and spent time grooming her to get off all her extra fur. Will definitely use again!”
“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”

About: Note: I live in downtown Baltimore but work in Arlington, VA so housesits in DC/Virginia are ideal. Hi! I’m Serena, a dependable and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of experience caring for pets and homes. I grew up in a home full of cats and 1 dog and was a proud cat owner for many years. Since then, caring for other people’s pets has become something I truly enjoy. Friends, neighbors, and travelers regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I always work to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own environment. My clients often tell me they appreciate my communication while they’re away. I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your pets are doing and feel confident they’re in good hands. Outside of pet sitting, I’m an avid gardener with over 30 indoor plants and a vegetable garden. Because of this, I’m also very comfortable caring for plants and maintaining a home while you’re traveling. At the moment, I am available full-time some weekdays during the day as well as some weekends. Please send me your dates, and I will check my calendar. My Care Style My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During visits I focus on: • feeding and fresh water • litter box or bathroom breaks • playtime and attention • monitoring behavior and wellbeing • maintaining routines your pet is used to I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away.
“Here’s another option with a slightly different tone: Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. Communication was quick and consistent, and she was always very responsive whenever I had a question or update. I felt confident leaving my pet in her care and appreciated the updates while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to others!!!”
“Keira was very flexible as I figured out my last minute schedule changes. My dog loved her and Keira kept me updated on the when she arrived, how my dog was doing. It was very nice to know my pup was taken care of while I was away.”
About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends. I make sure to get to know the fur baby before I help them.
“Jessica is great, my husband and I really love her! I could immediately feel the connection between her and my pets. She always sends us updates about Miley’s walks and potty breaks and we trust her in our home.”
“Did a meet/greet with Sophia before her drop in visit with my pups and she was great! During the drop in visit she did all the things we asked as well as updating us during her time with my pups. So glad we found Sophia and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”
“Emily was awesome to work with! We were away for an extended period of time and Emily always sent updates, communicated when needed, and took such great care of our kitties! Even our most shy cat came out to play with Emily! We will certainly rebook with Emily in future !!”
About: I work from home 4 days a weeks and would love an excuse to get out of the house! I grew up with boxers and loved to take them on walks and even runs. I’ve always loved animals and have spent time volunteering at nature centers with snakes and turtles, as well as owning bearded dragons and even hamsters. I currently work from home 4 days a week with lots of flexibility! I usually go to the office on Wednesdays so I may be less available that day. I currently have a kitty named Carrot at home. She is an indoor only cat and a little scared of dogs so I will be unable to do boarding/daycare.
About: Pets are family and they deserve to be treated that way! I want to provide that service as well and gain the trust of your animal as much as I do yours! I am currently a college student with breaks during the day to be able to care for your pet in between classes and in the evenings I follow instructions from the owner as to what needs to happen when. I take time to sit and pay with the pets in order to gain their trust
Catonsville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kudos to Ryan for coming to our house for a meet and greet with our dog ahead of time. Quinn was very comfortable with Ryan. Ryan was punctual for both the meet and greet and on the day he let Quinn out for 30 min. From the pictures Ryan took, it appeared Quinn had a great time with him. Thank you Ryan!
Caroline came in at the last minute and saved the day for a week-long trip for us. When we met, it was clear she had a ton of experience and she was so patient with our high-energy pitties, who absolutely loved seeing her every day! You cannot miss if you book Caroline, she's passionate, communicative, flexible, and the dogs love her.
Sophie is a real pro! Our two dogs and cat loved her right away. Our cat rarely comes out to see new people, but on the first day she came to see Sophie and ask for pats. Sophie is extremely knowledgeable and asks good questions. She is great at daily communication. She provides thorough reports as a default. If you want less info, you can ask for that, too. I really enjoy knowing the details of her visits. We honestly can’t think of one thing she could improve! Three days a week we need to be away for 14-15 hours. Sophie is always on time for her midday visits and the time she spends with them is keeping them happy and well. We feel super lucky that Sophie was able to take us on.
Samantha has watched our dog twice now and she is always so fantastic with Tahlee! She sent photos of Tahlee while I was out of town! Samantha was able to work with our schedule even with her weekend already being booked out! Absolutely recommend Samantha to house sit your pets!
This was the first day of leaving Coda by himself for a full work day and as pawrents we were very anxious about it, but ee decided to trust in Lisa to come and spend some time with him. During the short meet up we did, Coda loved her, we had never seen him connect with someone so fast. We are glad we got Lisa to come hang with him because it gave us a piece of mind and Coda had a great time with her. She followed all the instructions step by step.
Keira came through for us in a pinch when we were going to be out of town last minute, and we appreciate her so much! This was our second booking with her, and just like last time, everything went perfectly. She stopped by for drop-in visits with our dogs and took great care of them — no stress, no worries, just smooth and easy. She’s officially our go-to now! If you need someone reliable, responsive, and great with animals, definitely keep Keira at the top of your list. 🐶❤️
