About: Hi! My first gift as a baby was a white german shepherd named Pepper that I grew up with and I've been a dog owner ever since. Friends even brought me a stray found on campus at GWU, Wiggles. He was our house mascot. And I've owned and cared for dogs ever since. I started rescuing dogs in 2010 in Oakland. I found forever homes for 13 dogs. Your dog will be safe, made comfortable and well cared for by me. I'm happy to care for senior dogs or puppies and anyone in between. I am attentive. Responsive to them and focused to obey your instructions concerning your fur baby. I want them to be happy while you're away and I want you to be comfortable while they're in my care. Most of all, if anything happens, I know how to respond quickly. My 12yo Weimaraner Gideon passed away during the pandemic. I've been fostering. This just seems like another way for me to play with and care for a new dog until I get another one. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I'm a professional writer and program developer so my schedule is flexible which makes caring for your dog and its needs really easy. I am able to maintain whatever schedule you've established at home. Your pet will have full run of the house and will be encouraged to make themselves at home. Their crate and food/water will be set up in places where they can be seen and made comfortable.

About: Since my teenage years, I have taken care of various pets, cats, dogs, fish, turtles, frogs, birds, rabbits, and hamsters. In Denver, Colorado, I was assistant manager for a pet shop. We not only provided retail, but we provided play space washing, and grooming. I am looking forward to working with friendly only pets. I currently work my digital editing business part-time so I have ample time to add a pet in my daily routine. I am available daily from 4:30 AM until 10 PM. My preference would be to pet sit where they reside, but if a pet does need to stay with me overnight, they can expect a friendly, quiet, playful, safe place with three levels. There's also a dog park walking distance.

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I've always loved animals. I was gifted my first cat when I moved out at 20. I currently own 3 cats who I love so much. I'd love to care for your fur baby as well! (: My work schedule is the same every week. Please let me know what your pets’ needs are, and I'll be happy to accommodate. If you have any questions about my availability, please message me! I will treat your fur babies the way I'd like someone to treat mine, with love and respect. I've pet-sat friends and family pets, and I can be very trustworthy inside your home and outside when taking care of your pet.

About: I have grown up with dogs and have been around/worked with them all my life. Needless to say I’m very comfortable with them. I’m confident in working and caring for a dog of any age and providing any care they might need. I have also been riding horses since I was a small child and feel comfortable with any needs they might need met. Feeding, mucking out (cleaning up poo and pee), giving meds to dogs, cats, horses are all tasks I feel confident in. Side note I also feel comfortable taking care of basic reptiles, but my experience is mostly in horses, cats, and dogs. I currently work full time in inner harbor from 8 am-4:30pm. I could possibly provide care before my regular working hours depending on location. Can definitely provide care after working hours. In my home my cats are fed both wet and dry food throughout day depending on their needs. At this time I do not provide the option of caring for an animal at my house.

About: I grew up with cats and have always loved animals. When I moved to Maryland in 2023, I volunteered with Montgomery County as an animal foster and transport volunteer. In my current work as a senior caregiver, I also regularly care for clients’ dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to provide caring, dependable attention to pets and their families. I currently work during the week, so my availability is primarily on weekends. I would love the opportunity to spend that time caring for pets and giving them plenty of love, attention, and companionship while their families are away. Unfortunately I am not allowed to have any pets in my current rental home, so I am limited to only caring for the animals in their own homes.
“Diana went above and beyond with caring for my cat. I was a little worried leaving my cat for a week, but my worries were elevated with her care. She always sent me photos and descriptions of what her drop in entailed and I was happy to know he was being well cared for!”

“Courtney was absolutely amazing. She sent plenty of photos along with thoughtful, detailed updates, and my cat clearly adored her. I’m so grateful for her — especially for being so flexible on such short notice. I would book her again in a heartbeat, 1000%!”

“Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.”

About: With over 15 years of experience, I am a caring, patient, and dedicated animal lover with a unique “dog whisperer” communication skill that helps me build trust and connection with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior companions, ensuring their specific needs are met with compassion and attention. I am responsible for the daily care of three wonderful dogs: a Presa Canario, an Akita, and a family member’s Welsh Terrier. Each day, I ensure they are well-fed, walked, and engaged with plenty of playtime to meet their physical and emotional needs. Managing two large breeds alongside a smaller, high-energy terrier requires understanding each dog’s unique temperament and energy levels. I tailor their routines to ensure they feel loved, secure, and fulfilled. Whether it’s a brisk walk, interactive play, or simply giving them the attention they crave, I’m committed to providing them with the care and companionship they deserve. My services include personalized walking routines, tailored feeding schedules, and administering medication with precision and care. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a comforting cuddle, or specialized care, I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and happy while ensuring their overall well-being. Your furry family member will be in trusted hands!
“Leticia did a great job taking care of my cat Madison. Madison is a loner and doesn't warm up to people but he trusted Leticia from the start. I loved the photos and videos that she forwarded to me. It gave me peace of mind to know that he was well cared for. I hope that Leticia will be available the next time I need to be away from home for an extended period of time.”

About: Hi! I’m someone who truly loves dogs and treats every one like family. I have over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and nothing makes me happier than making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and don’t have any pets of my own, which means your dog will receive my full attention and care. I’m naturally gentle, patient, and nurturing, and I take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and routine so they feel right at home. I also work a daytime job, so I always make sure to accept bookings that fit my schedule and allow me to give every dog the attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs companionship, playtime, walks, or a cozy place to relax, you can count on me to provide dependable care and plenty of love. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I’d be honored to care for yours as if they were my own. Pet care is a priority in my routine. I work during the day, so I carefully schedule bookings around my job to ensure every pet gets the time, attention, and love they deserve. I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. My home is a calm, low-stress space where your dog can settle in at their own pace. I focus on keeping their routine familiar, giving them plenty of one-on-one attention, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for from the moment they arrive.
About: I have cared for and trained dogs of all different types, sizes, and personalities. When I moved out on my own, I got two cats and have had them both for four-five years. I understand how important pets are to the families they’re belong to as I have never gone without having one in my life. I’m a stay at home military wife with a baby on the way. I have a flexible schedule as I am looking for something to do part time. Although I wouldn’t be able to pet sit at my own home I am more than willing to sit at your home where the animals are most comfortable as well as taking them out to parks/outs.

Rachel is AWESOME! I have never left my pups with anyone in 7 years, mainly because my my female is a bit territorial. Rachel met her then did a couple visits prior to my departure date, to make sure she was a good fit for my pups. She was! Rachel is very kind and patient with both me and the pups. She has extensive knowlesge about dogs and keeps contact as best she can with daily notes and photos. I will be using her again and I HIGHLY recommend Rachel to care for.your furbaby!!

Julia did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and cat! We were away for an extended trip, and she handled everything with exceptional care, professionalism, and warmth. Her attention to detail is remarkable—she noticed and seamlessly took care of extra things around the house and with our pets without us even having to ask. It provided so much peace of mind knowing our animals were in such thoughtful, capable hands. We are so grateful for her help and will absolutely book her again!

Talia was very accommodating to our requests even though some of them were last minute. She is very thoughtful and sweet. Our pets seemed to have warmed up after the initial meet up. She treated Kuma and Kitty as her own. We’ll definitely hire her again in the future.

Heather was outstanding watching our two dogs and cat while we were away for 2 weeks. She is reliable, communicates clearly, and is very comfortable handling multiple pets. During our trip, one of our dogs had an unexpected medical issue, and Heather handled everything start to finish. She recognized something wasn’t right, notified us and with our ok took him to the vet, kept us informed the whole time, and took care of the treatment he needed to get better. Her experience working in a veterinary setting really showed, and while we felt completely comfortable trusting her to make the right decisions, she also made sure we knew what was going on every step of the way. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and everything in great shape. Heather is truly extraordinary and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.

Hailey was great with my dogs (7 yr & 2 months). She gave a run down of what transpired each visit and sent pictures too. I felt so comfortable and relaxed that my girls were in good hands during the day when I couldn't be there. I will definitely use her again in future.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Crofton 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
