“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 been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was a kid. Walking, feeding, bathing, and training have all been part of the routine for over 11 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets time and again, and that trust is something I take seriously. Whether your dog needs a calm and structured walk, a bath, or just good company while you’re away, I bring the same patience and attentiveness every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I have a lot of flexibility throughout the week, so I can work around most schedules. Whether you need someone on short notice, over a weekend, or during the week, I’m generally available and happy to accommodate what works best for you and your dog. Your dog will be in a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard where they can run and play freely. I have pets of my own, so your dog will have friendly company and will be comfortable in an environment that’s already used to animals. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual temperament and make sure every pet in my care feels secure and at ease.
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.
“Ayanna was great!!! Our puppers adored her! We consider ourselves very picky pawrents and Ayanna did everything we asked her to do. Would definitely recommend her for our future visits!”
“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! ?????????”
“Wonderful human being with beautiful energy. My skittish cat came right up to her. Additional plus is she helped me out with a short notice booking. Can't say enough positive things!! Thank you.”
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.
“Nikole is amazing! She’s been our sitter for almost a year now but this was the longest trip we’ve taken from the girls and it was so stressful free thanks to her. She does a great jobs with them and communicating how they’re doing.”
“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!”
“Alison was fantastic with our dog, Rosy! She was so kind from the moment we met for the meet and greet! Alison has a great communication style that allowed us all to make sure we were on the same page with regard to Rosy. Throughout the booking, I know Rosy was well cared for, walked, and loved on while I was gone. I received lots of picture update photos, which I always enjoyed! I really appreciate Alison for being such a wonderful and reliable Rover sitter. We will absolutely book again with her in the future!!”
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 in office 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 Do you 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
About: I’ve had cats and dogs throughout my life and also spent a year early in my career working as a veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, ages, and needs. I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits (dogs and cats) on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During drop-ins, I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention while you’re away. For walks, I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine and any instructions you provide. A little about me: I live in Crofton, am a mom of three girls, and a pet mom to two boy cats of my own. I also previously worked as a government contractor, where reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail were a big part of my everyday work. I’m currently in school working on my Political Science degree. Between my professional background, veterinary experience, and years of caring for my own pets, I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your animals and entering your home. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My weekend availability allows me to give each visit the time and attention it deserves, whether your pet needs a walk, a potty break, a meal, or just some company while you’re away. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any care instructions you provide. My previous experience as a veterinary assistant taught me to pay close attention to an animal’s behavior and recognize when something seems out of the ordinary. During walks and drop-ins, I’ll prioritize your pet’s safety, keep you updated, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine.
About: I have more than 20 years of experience caring for dogs. I previously had two show dogs who were my babies, and now Storm is just as spoiled and loved. To me, our four-legged babies are no different from our children. Bryce and I are both dog lovers, and we understand how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. We will make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they are with us. We can help with walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime, and keeping them on their regular schedule. Every dog has their own personality, so we will take the time to learn what makes your dog comfortable. We will follow your instructions, send pictures and updates, and treat your baby like one of our own. We also offer dog waste cleanup for your yard because sometimes dooty calls! Whether you need a one-time cleanup or regular help keeping your yard clean, we are happy to take care of the dirty work so you do not have to. I work from home and have plenty of time to care for your baby. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy taking regular walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and love. My schedule is flexible for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I will follow your feeding schedule, walking routine, medications, and any special instructions you provide. Dogs will stay on a leash outside and will not be left unattended. I will introduce them to my furbaby slowly, supervise their time together, and give them their own space when needed. You will also receive regular pictures and updates so you know how your baby is doing.
“Alicia was great and took good care of our cat during a holiday weekend. She was very friendly and responsive to communication. We appreciated the photos she shared during her visits and came home to a happy cat.”
“Haley was an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, Nami, while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure Nami was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my kitty was in good hands. I would absolutely trust Haley to watch Nami again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, always loved taking care of them and giving them the love, attention and care they need! I have one dog, he’s a pitbull who’s been around most of my life. I’ve been dog sitting and walking for a few years now so i have plenty of experience and i’m excited for more! My schedule is pretty clear so i can be very flexible, i'm available Monday-Sunday from 11am-6pm. I can be available most holidays throughout the year. I have a fenced in yard and lots of open space for them to run around. If i’m at a clients house i will be respectful of any rules they may have.
About: I currently care for a puppy, every day i let him out, walk him, and play with him for 30 minutes. I’ve loved this so much I want to be able to do it for other families that are looking for asssistance. I’ve had a dog my whole life and a cat since I was 7. I am very active and like to take the pups on walks or my runs if they like that. I am very passionate about animals and really enjoy working with them. I have my own puppy now so I am caring for others in their own home. I am quick to reply and will send updates daily along with cute pictures! I have complete open availability as of now, I am a recent grad studying to take my NCLEX. I am very willing to adapt to your and your pets needs and typical schedule! I have a friendly puppy of my own at my house. When at your house, I am very careful about crates and securing the leash.
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.

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.

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
