House Sitting Downtown

“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”

“Aleya’s mom, Tiffani, came to the rescue and was able to dogsit Otto for two overnights. She did a great job and Otto was a happy boy when we got home!”

Catherine E.

“Emily was fantastic and super communicative throughout their stay with Cooper and Zeppelin, making sure to send a nice update everyday. We could tell that they had the best time while we were gone and were very well taken care of. Would highly recommend!”

Romy M.

“Elisa kept Big Daddy (and our house) well cared for during our week long trip. Big D was super chill upon our return, always a sign that he got plenty of attention and walks while we were away. We look forward to booking with her again soon!”

“Ella was exceptional to work with, we will definitely be rebooking!! Ella watched our two kitties over a holiday weekend and actually put my anxious mind at ease! During the meet and greet, and throughout the stay, Ella was friendly, quick to respond, and detail oriented. Our kitties have a bit of a complicated routine, but Ella kept them on track—even our anxious kitty took all of her medicines! Upon returning from our trip, it was clear that our kitties (and apartment) were well cared for! Thank you, Ella!!”

About: I have years of experience taking care of my family dog, pet-sitting, and walking dogs for friends. I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats. I’m currently a graduate student at the University of Baltimore studying counseling and I live in the Federal Hill neighborhood. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently a full-time grad student, and I’m available during the morning/early afternoon Monday/Wednesday, and all day Thursday and Friday. Your pet’s safety and comfort is my top priority. It’s important to me to make sure your pet gets the best experience I can provide.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a proud cat parent to my own cat, I know how much peace of mind matters when you have to leave your furry family members behind. While I'm new to the Rover platform, pet care is second nature to me—back in college, I regularly helped my classmates with pet sitting, looking after both dogs and cats. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat needs some gentle loving attention, I treat every pet with the exact same care and devotion I give my own. Because I work remotely and part-time from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I am basically free and can easily find time for your pet any day or any time. Whether it's a mid-day walk or constant companionship, we can easily figure out a routine that works best for you and your pet! Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Whether I am dropping in for pet sitting or taking your dog out for an engaging walk, I treat every pet with the utmost care and respect. As an experienced cat owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to respect an animal's boundaries, safety needs, and home environment. You can count on me for clear communication, reliable updates, and treating your home and pets like my own.

“Tabitha took great care of our australian shepherd pup while we had a evening out together. Thank you so much for the help. Especially on such short notice.”

“Susan has been an amazing sitter for Dobby. She went above and beyond to take care of his meals since my dog is the absolute pickiest eater you can ever come across. She also took him out on long walks, kept him engaged and made sure that he felt absolutely at home and safe in my absence. She was also very kind to him and took incredible care of him when he had an upset stomach for a couple of days. I will definitely look forward to having Susan sit Dobby again in my absence.”

“Maria house sat my 67lb giant schnauzer puppy (5 months old). He loved her and she was great with him ! Will definitely utilize her services again!”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and farm animals that I cared for over many years; caring for animals is ingrained in me. Being with animals brings me joy, plain and simple. I've fostered animals for months while working with PACT - a temporary pet fostering organization that requires a background check. I also worked at the Humane Society for 4 years and have had many cats and dogs of my own. I’m a nursing student, so I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to take care of your cat / pup however you need :)

“Brianna was the perfect dog sitter. She sent many many updates pictures which I loved. She took care of my pup like she was her own and even alerted me quickly when she thought something may be wrong with her. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone and everyone!”

Jinnesse T.

“Rebecca was awesome! She took great care of my dog and was super responsive to requests. We recently moved apartments and she was flexible with resolving issues in the new place and helped coordinate giving a key to a new roommate. I returned home to a happy and well cared for pup.”

About: I have 4+ years of experience working as a Veterinary Assistant with dogs and cats! I am capable of administering medication (oral, injectable, aural, ocular, etc.), routine check-ins, walks, and feeding. I have training in Fear Free and Low Stress handling and am particularly fond of our more anxious friends. My experience in veterinary medicine has given me experience monitoring/caring for pets with more complex medical conditions such as diabetes, hyper/hypothyroidism, arthritis, etc. I am open to caring for pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to seniors! I am a full time student, so that does admittedly limit my availability. I am most available for quick check-ins, walks, or short-term in-home pet care in Baltimore. My experience in veterinary medicine has taught me so much about how to care for pets, especially those with fear and anxiety. I think that reading an animal's body language is incredibly important, and I take listening to your pet's communication very seriously. I tend to interact with animals in a calm demeanor, allowing the pet to tell me what they're comfortable with first. Every animal is an individual, so I take great care to evaluate how each pet wants to be interacted with to provide as low-stress an experience as possible!

“Asia took great care of our pup, Juniper, as well as our house. She was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Our flights kept changing and Asia was flexible and made sure Juniper wouldn’t be left alone too long waiting, especially while there were thunderstorms (which scare Juniper). We came home to a happy healthy pup!”

“Ty is super helpful and communicative! And our cat loves him! Cat barely comes out to play with other sitters, but Ty always seems to entice our cat to play, and sends pics. Thanks Ty!”

Lamar M.

“Ana was amazing! She spent so much time with our senior beagle, Kirby. Walking and exercising him regularly, hanging with him and house sitting at the same time. She was responsible, communicative, knowledgeable and so pleasant sending pictures and updates. We had complete confidence with her and would recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve been around pets most of my life and have a deep understanding of their needs, body language, and personalities. I offer calm, attentive care tailored to each pet, whether it’s a playful puppy learning the basics or a senior pet needing extra patience, meds, or gentle walks. I’m experienced with basic training, crate routines, senior care, and making shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. I treat every animal like family, with love, respect, and a focus on their well-being and happiness. Pet care fits naturally into my life right now. After going through cancer last year, I’m focused on healing and creating a life filled with joy and purpose. I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to dedicate to pets. Spending time with animals brings me peace, and I’d be honored to be a loving, dependable presence for your pet while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where animals can relax and feel secure. I respect each pet’s routine and preferences, and I always follow your instructions closely whether it’s about food, walks, medications, or cuddle limits! In your home, I treat the space with care and keep things clean and consistent so your pet stays comfortable. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll have a peaceful, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, supervision, and attention. Safety and trust are everything to me and so is making sure your pet feels right at home, wherever they are.

“Quick response. Great communication! Took care of my Kaci well. Will be booking again.”

“This was our second time using Simone and she was just as wonderful as the first time around. Our dogs were well cared for, as well as our home. She was wonderful about accommodating a last minute schedule change to our plans and staying an extra day with our pets. We couldn't have been more appreciative of her flexibility and will continue to use her in the future!”
