Steffen is a super sitter and a really terrific photographer, too. He sent pictures of the cats each night and I could tell they were calm and cared for. Thank you!

Alexandra was very accommodating towards Mr Cat. She treated him as if he were her own, provided me with pictures on every visit. She went the extra mile to make sure Mr Cat was well taken care of. I definitely will be contacting her again if I go on a trip.

I cannot recommend Lavinia enough. She is thoughtful, caring, and thorough. I trusted her to care for our two dogs. She provided excellent, timely communication, and offered more than enough photos to give us updates. I would trust her to care for my home/cats/dogs. Thank you, Lavinia!

Baela did a great job taking care of my two cats! One of them is a little bit difficult and needed medication, and she took care of it no problem. My cats were happy when I got home, and everything was in order. Baela communicated very well before and during my trip. I would definitely recommend Baela and would use her again next time I go out of town.

We had a wonderful experience with Isabella. She was so kind and attentive to our cat while we were away. We felt like he was in the best hands! She was a great communicator, sending daily updates and pictures and it was clear that our cat felt comfortable with her. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her again in the future!

Rico was absolutely wonderful! He treated my furbabies like his own, staying flexible and attentive throughout. He didn’t just stick to the basics—he added extra walks and even gave them baths, which they really needed! I couldn’t be happier and will definitely book Rico again. Highly recommend him for all your pet care needs!

I was able to enjoy my international trip without worry because Caroline did such a good job with my cat. She went the extra mile to come meet him in person to make sure he would be comfy with her before I left, and she also did a lot to accommodate my last minute schedule changes, which I couldn’t be more thankful for. If you’re looking for an experienced sitter that truly loves animals and also being as helpful and kind as she can, I can’t recommend Caroline enough!

Huge huge huge shout out to MacKenzie for watching my pups while I was out of town! I just moved up here and was a little worried about being away from the new place/state and leaving the dogs up here in the meantime. However, MacKenzie just seemed trustworthy, cool, and kind, and I was right! Not only did she want to make sure she did a good job and followed their schedules and everything to a T, she also just loved and cared about them instantly. What really sold MacKenzie as just being a rockstar was her willingness to work with my one dog who has major stranger danger and takes a bit to trust especially with females. MacKenzie did what she could and spent a lot of time focusing on his comfortability and building his trust with her while still ensuring my other dog got her attention and love as well. Throughout the visits, MacKenzie gave me numerous photos and videos as well as updates from all her visits. I am truly grateful to have had her help and her love and care for my animals while I was away. I will 100% be using MacKenzie from here on out for my animal’s care!

About: Love to give dogs lots of attention and affection. Coupled with the ability to be stern if needed, I am able to take care of many types of dogs. I live an active life and will have no problem walking your dog as much as needed. I spent many years training and caring for our family dog. I have lived with roommates with dogs and had no issues caring for them even when the roommate was not away. While living with a roommate, they had their own rover account and I would help take care of any dog that would come over. I have pretty open availability and willing to travel to most places within 10-15 miles of downtown baltimore. Please reach out to me with any questions or requests and I will try to accommodate.

About: I make time to care for dogs on my free time and love to make them feel special. I help busy hardworking owners feel relieved when they can work and know that their dog is in good hands. I am a student that is currently studying full time at my apartment and am available to schedule dog care. I am very organized and am able to set time for studying and pet care and play time. I can play with them and give them enrichment. I can pet them to soothe them. I can encourage drinking water to keep them healthy. I am very vocal when it comes to encouraging and letting pets know they are doing something well.

About: I have experience caring for my own small dog and regularly pet sit my sister-in-law’s dog, so I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities. I focus on making pets feel safe and cared for. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, especially with small dogs and calm routines. I aim to keep every visit positive and stress-free. I’m also responsible and communicative, and I treat every pet with the same care I give my own 🤍 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule during the day, which allows me to be consistent and attentive with each visit or walk. I’m currently available in the mornings and afternoons, as well as early evenings on some days. On the days I have classes, I’m available until the afternoon, so I always make sure to plan visits responsibly and on time. I enjoy creating a calm and reliable routine for the pets I care for, and I like to take my time with each visit to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for 🤍 I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets. While I’m newer to client homes, I have experience with my own dog and regularly pet sitting my sister-in-law’s dog, making me attentive and responsible. I follow each dog’s routine closely and respect all home instructions. During walks, I stay alert and focused on your dog’s safety and comfort, and I communicate clearly so you feel reassured 🤍

Caroline is the best! She gives so much love and care to our kitties while we’re away, giving us a much needed sigh of relief from the anxiety of leaving them. She’s also incredibly attentive, making sure their space stays tidy for them. We’ve been connected with Caroline for years and are so lucky to have her!

Holly is wonderful! We were lucky she was available for a couple last-minute drop-in appointments. She texted back quickly. Our cat, who hates to be held, needs to have her paws dipped into a medication solution for as close to 5 mins as possible everyday. Not only was Holly unfazed by this task, but she was more successful with it than we often are! She is clearly familiar with animal behavior and is willing and able to adapt to pet’s personality to keep them healthy and happy. She adjusted her approach as she went based on her observations, which let me know she was really paying attention during visits. Holly is also communicative and easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend

My first time using a pet sitter to visit my cat daily and Paige made the whole experience super easy and convenient! She followed all instructions, provided detailed daily updates and sent lots of photos of my cat. I would definitely work with her again as the experience was so much easier than packing everything for my cat to board and he was much happier at home. Thanks Paige!

Emalee once again did a fantastic job caring for my cats while I was away. She last minute was willing to increase the frequency of her visits to help apply some eye ointment when one of the kitties needed it right before I was going away. She did such an amazing job with them and I never have to worry about them while she is caring for them.
