About: I've had dogs since I was 9 years old. Friends and family rely on me to walk and feed their dogs. I love playing and caring for dogs! I mostly work from home during the week so I am able to be fully present and attentive to those I am watching during that time. I stick to a schedule based on what their owner has told me what their needs are. I like to stick to their walking and feeding routine, as well as gaining their trust so they are comfortable in my home.
About: I truly can’t imagine life without paws! Caring for dogs and cats has been a lifelong passion. I take a calm, thoughtful, one-on-one approach to pet care, paying close attention to each pet’s individual routine, personality and comfort level so they feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for while away from home. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities and believe quality care goes beyond basic supervision. Much of my approach comes from my own experience as a pet parent. I spent 15 wonderful years with my dog, Fawn, and 18 years with my cat, Pepper. They taught me the importance of understanding and caring for each pet as an individual. Current Availability: Dog Boarding — Available weekdays for dogs comfortable with a typical workday routine (up to 3 weekdays/week), plus weekends & holidays. Cat boarding — 7 days a week Additional Services Walks, Day Care & Drop-In Visits: Fridays–Sundays & Holidays Work overnight or nontraditional shifts? My schedule may be a great fit for pets who need. care during those hours. Let's connect if my availability fits your needs — I’d be happy to provide reliable, personalized, one-on-one care for your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priority. • Low-volume scheduling for individualized attention • Routine-based care that respects your pet’s comfort level • Supervised, calm, and structured environment • Clean and sanitized home, with thorough cleaning between stays • Consistent updates for your peace of mind • Safe, stress-free care in my home, yours, or on neighborhood walks
“Savannah did a great job getting to know Cody and she took great care of him! She had excellent communication with us throughout the stay and I always felt like my dog was well taken care of. I will book with her again!”
“I did not get to meet Hailey in person, but, my grandmother did and said that she was very nice. The smiles on my dogs faces, from the pics that she sent, show that she took good care of them. Hailey was very communicative and punctual. She showed up at the agreed upon times and sent lots of pics, which we appreciated. This was my first time using Rover and first using a professional dog walker. I highly recommend Hailey.”
“Jodie is absolutely amazing with my senior cat! She makes sure my cat is well loved and taken care of (and makes sure she gets her meds which is a challenge on its own). My cat loves her. I can’t say enough positive things about Jodie!”
About: I've grown up around cats, dogs, and guinea pigs my entire life. I've watched the neighbors and multiple friends pets many of time. I have also worked with horses and done barn work a good majority of my life. I am a wildlife major at the University of Maryland and do a lot of work with all sorts of animals and can promise I am equipped to work with all types of pet personalities! I work 10 am-4 pmMondays through Thursdays so I am available before in the morning and all afternoon and evening. Fridays - Sunday I am available most of the day, with an occasional restaurant dinner shift from 4pm-10:30 pm, with which I am still very flexible and can help out during the day and after work. As an animal lover with experience caring for both pets and other animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection while maintaining their usual routine. I follow all owner instructions carefully, monitor pets for any signs of illness or discomfort, and keep their environment safe, clean, and secure. I also provide regular updates to owners and closely follow any special instructions regarding diet, behavior, or medical needs.
“Heather was super dependable and sweet with Gus even though he misbehaved and bit her. I don’t know if she’s willing to come back but I am more than willing to hire her again.”
“Kathryn was amazing. Super friendly, reliable and really listened to what I communicated for my cat’s needs. She took great care of our fur baby and it put my mind at great ease to know he was in such good hands.”
“Ashley was great with my two dogs. She was very responsive when we were making arrangements and sent a lot of pictures from her visits. I have an older dog who can be a little particular about what she will and won't do sometimes, and Ashley was great about putting details in Rover Cards so I could know exactly what was happening with her while I was gone. I would absolutely book visits with Ashley again.”
“Candice is AMAZING!!! She has a genuine love and heart for fur babies. Jace & Candice instantly connected during their 1st meet and greet 💙 She was very interested in understanding everything about Jace from his habits, the food and treats he likes most even his favorite toys! Such a comfort to know that our boy Jace would be in the care of such a loving sitter. Candice shared updates and photos while we were away and made sure that Jace was happy. Thank you sooooo much Candice, we cannot wait to have you care for Jace again. Welcome to the family 😊”
About: I’ve been around dogs as far as I can remember. I was born in Pakistan where unfortunately dogggos don’t have a good care system 😔, I’ve spent my life taking care and loving stray / rescued dogs and doing my best to make them part of a happy family. Since moving to the US 4 years back, I’ve rescued 3 fur babies from Humane society that have now become part of the family like any other member. I love taking care of all animals, from feeding to play time, watching them be happy is the most joyous thing ever!! I’m work from home full time, my wife is work from home 3 days a week. My work timings are really flexible which gives me plenty of time to spend time with the babies. I spend about 3 to 4 hours with my doggos each day, wish I could more but gotta pay those bills as well. All of our three doggos are super friendly and very playful. They love having doggos from friends over for play time. Our apartment complex has an unfenced yard for dogs to run around in and we have a dog park not 5 minutes away.
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. The best part of my day every day is when I get to spend time with my furry friends. I currently work 12-hour shifts at a hospital three days a week. I have four days off every week that I am looking to fill spending time with animals. My schedule fluctuates so it will be difficult for me to have standing appointments, but I will know my schedule at least a month in advance. I have a fully fenced in yard with a 6-foot vinyl privacy fence, and three dogs of my own. They are treated like members of my family.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and previously worked in a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m experienced with dog walking, safe leash handling, feeding routines, medication administration, and recognizing signs that a dog may not be feeling well. I’m especially comfortable with large and high-energy dogs and always use a patient, gentle approach to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll treat them like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. During the week, I’m available all day, which makes dog walks and drop-in visits a great fit. Spending time with animals is something I find both fulfilling and rewarding, and I love being able to provide pets with attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I take a patient, gentle approach and pay close attention to each pet’s body language and personality, whether they love attention or prefer their space. I also make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise and enrichment, and lots of love. Regular updates and photos are always provided so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Ian was extremely quick to respond, thorough with all the details, very affordable and exceptionally flexible with our needs. Will absolutely use Ian again and highly recommend to anyone! ?????????”
About: As a homeschooling mom, I’m home most of the day, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. I have a fenced yard and love spending time outdoors, giving dogs lots of fresh air and playtime. I am happy to stick to your pet’s schedule! As a photographer, I also love sending cute photo updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so pets get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long. Dogs enjoy regular walks in a safe, sidewalk-filled neighborhood along with playtime and a comfortable, relaxed home environment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Crofton
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.
Trishia was fantastic!! As a new mom of a diabetic pup it’s a bit of a learning curve figuring out how to properly administer insulin. I scheduled Trishia for a drop in and she so gracefully gave me tips and tricks to help the process be more comfortable for Faye and I in the future! I will absolutely be booking her again in the future.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Crofton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 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.

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.
To find sitters in Crofton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. 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.
