“Nanci was very kind, flexible, communicative and helped me with my very needy and vocal cat. She went above and beyond by cleaning his messy litter box and sending me cute pictures. I recommend her to anyone who looks for a caring and sweet pet sitter”

“If our three thumbed (polydactyl) cats had access to our smart devices, they’d have already left this review themselves—and probably tipped him extra. We’ve trusted Kevin with our trio of “tigerz” more than once now, and there’s a reason we keep coming back. Each of our cats has their own unique demands (I mean, personality), and somehow Kevin manages to keep all three happy, fed, entertained, and—most impressively—on their absolute best behavior. We’re still trying to figure out his secret. It’s incredibly reassuring knowing they’re in such attentive and capable hands when we have to be away. Kevin takes the time to understand each cat’s quirks and needs, and it shows. We come home to relaxed, happy, and well-cared-for cats! 🌟 Kevin is our go-to sitter without hesitation, and we can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“Brittany was a great sitter for my 14 year old labradoodle. She made sure to make him feel loved and went above and beyond to keep him happy and kept me updated with photos and videos from each visit. I will definitely be a regular client and highly recommend working with Brittany!”

“Dalara was super responsive and adapted to a bit of a curve ball at the last minute. We appreciate her and her husband checking on our old pup while we were visiting Baltimore from out of town and sending lots of photos. She gave me total peace of mind. Will definitely use her again if we’re in the area.”

“Veronique made herself available on short notice and took on the task of my very spoiled 4 month old German Shepard. He’s a lot of dog and she was up for the task. Veronique is responsive and easy to communicate with. I recommend her and look forward to future visits!”

About: I have around 10 years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, and small animals. I grew up with two dogs, and I have been house sitting for friends and neighbors with dogs and cats since I was about 13. I absolutely love animals of all shapes and sizes! My own dog has hind-end paralysis and walks using a doggy wheelchair, so I am super comfortable caring for dogs with paralysis, IVDD, and other mobility issues (including dogs that need urinary bladder expression!!!) I also have experience caring for senior dogs, senior cats, and kittens! I work extremely flexible hours, so I am available for drop-in pet care or dog walking at most times during the day! Just reach out and tell me what kind of schedule you're looking for, and I'll let you know if I am available! I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I am happy to accommodate any needs you or your pet may have to make sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and happy :)
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've dogsat for friends, family, and neighbors for years, which taught me how to read each dog's personality, follow different routines, and make every pup feel safe and comfortable. Today I have tow dogs of my own, so caring for them is part of my everyday life. My favorite part of the day is getting outside with dogs. Whether it's a relaxed stroll, a run for high-energy pups, or playtime at the park, I love helping dogs get their exercise and have fun. I'll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I'm always happy to send updates and photos so you know they're having a great time. I work part-time, so I'm available on weekdays with flexible timing. I can fit walks and drop-ins around your schedule, whether that's mornings, midday, or afternoons. I'm happy to follow your instructions for entering your home and caring for your dog, and I'm always respectful of your space. I make sure leashes are secure on walks, check that doors are locked when I leave, and make sure that your pup has fresh water before I go.

About: I have over 5 years of experience dog sitting for a variety of families, providing comprehensive care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it's managing overnight stays, conducting regular drop-in visits, taking energetic walks, or keeping up with routine potty breaks, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and keeping your dog’s routine consistent while you’re away. In addition to sitting for clients, I’ve grown up with a family dog and frequently care for them during extended stays. Having a dog in my own home has given me a deep, personal understanding of dog behavior, health needs, and how important it is to treat every pet like family. What You Can Expect: Attentive Routine Care: Timely feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of play. Active Engagement: Tailored walks, outdoor exercise, and engaging activities to keep your dog happy and stimulated. Frequent Updates: Daily photos and status updates so you always have peace of mind. Respectful House Sitting: Keeping your home clean, secure, and well-cared for during overnight stays. Working part-time from home gives me a flexible, consistent schedule that allows me to prioritize quality time and structured care for every dog I look after. Daily Availability & Supervision: Because I spend most of my work hours at home, pets in my care receive continuous companionship, regular attention, and frequent breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. Structured Daily Routine: My schedule makes it easy to maintain your dog’s exact feeding times, medication schedules, potty breaks, and energy outlets. I build my work tasks around their daily rhythm so their home routine stays seamless and stress-free. Mid-Day Exercise & Play: Flexible working hours allow me to block out time for mid-day walks, backyard play, and mental stimulation games when dogs are typically most active. Overnight & Weekend Care: With a home-based work setup, overnight stays and weekend bookings blend naturally into my regular flow, ensuring your pet always has a present, reliable anchor while you are away. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, my priority is keeping their daily routine consistent, safe, and stress-free. Caring for Pets in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) Maintaining Familiar Routines: I follow your exact instructions for feeding, potty schedules, and sleep arrangements so your pet feels secure in their own environment. Attentive Care & Company: I provide plenty of one-on-one attention, play, and quiet companionship while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. Frequent Updates: You’ll receive regular photos and daily status updates so you know your pet and home are in great hands. Caring for Pets in My Home (Apartment Living) Frequent Outdoor Excursions: Since I live in an apartment, I schedule regular, structured outdoor breaks for potty times and fresh air throughout the day. Park Walks & Exercise: We take full advantage of nearby parks for long, peaceful walks, sniffing sessions, and controlled exercise to burn off energy safely. A Cozy, Supervised Environment: My apartment offers a calm, cozy atmosphere where your dog can relax nearby while I work. They receive constant supervision and never have to navigate a chaotic or noisy environment. Safety & Park Guidelines Living in an apartment with nearby parks means safety and attentive handling are my top priorities on every outing. Here is how I ensure your dog stays secure, comfortable, and happy: Strict On-Leash Policy: Your dog will remain securely leashed at all times during outdoor walks, park visits, and potty breaks. I do not take client dogs off-leash in un-fenced public areas under any circumstances. Controlled Park Interactions: Nearby parks are fantastic for sniffing and exercise, but I maintain a respectful distance from unfamiliar dogs and high-traffic areas. I always check with you beforehand regarding your dog’s comfort level around other pets or crowded spaces. Double-Check Gear Security: Before leaving the apartment, I double-check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are fitted securely to prevent any risk of slipping out. Weather & Pavement Checks: Before setting out, I check ground temperatures to protect paw pads during hot weather and keep walks shorter on severe weather days. Fresh water and quick paw wipes are always part of our post-walk routine. Attentive Environment Awareness: Apartment living requires constant vigilance—I stay fully off my phone during walks to focus 100% on scan-ahead awareness, watching for bicycle traffic, wildlife, or stray items on the path.

About: Hi I'm Kayla! I have a great love of all animals regardless of breed, size or age. I’m familiar and comfortable with medication administration and special needs and diets.

She a spunky, large domestic longhair. In my free time I like to go for run, workout and try new activities. I’m extremely passionate about animals and their well-being! I currently work from home, independently so I'll have plenty of time to walk your pet, or do any necessary check ins throughout the day. Due to the nature of my job, this also makes house sitting easy during the week as well! During my pet sits/visits I like to follow the pets daily routine to make their time as comfortable and normal as possible. I prefer if you as the owner tell me all the important details since you know what's best for your furry friends!
“Sophia is amazing and such a wonderful caregiver! Great communication leading up to the stay, and great updates while we were gone for almost a week. We loved seeing the pictures of our happy cat! Sophia is a huge help and will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve been successfully pet sitting via Rover, Wag, TSH, and for private clients for about 5 years on and off. I’m comfortable around all size dogs and multiple cats. I pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I am currently available as I job search. NOTE: Any additional visits after the first meet and greet will be charged as a drop-in visit (ex. any key pick-up/drop-off, extra M&G). Any toll/ferry fee required during the booking will be reimbursed by the pet parent I know that all animals are different so as long as I have clear instructions from the client, I’m confident I will be able to provide a high quality standard of care to their animals
“Madelyn was great! My 2 dogs loved her, she was easy to communicate with, on time, and provided great check ins. I would definitely request her services in the future :)”

“Dorothy is dependable and detail-oriented. I appreciate that she makes sure she does the little things I've shared that make a big difference for Bentley, even if it's been a long time since she's seen him. I know I can trust Dorothy to take good care of Bentley. ☺️”

About: I'm a caring, patient, and attentive dog lover with years of hands-on experience. I grew up with a dog and have loved being involved in his daily care, from going on walks and playing at home to spending time together at parks and outdoors. I'm comfortable with feeding, providing exercise, giving plenty of affection, and making sure dogs feel happy and comfortable. I've also cared for multiple friends' dogs through both drop-in visits and boarding, so I'm familiar with adapting to different dogs, personalities, and routines. I'm attentive to dog body language and try to understand each dog's individual needs, whether they want to play, go for a walk, get some affection, or simply have a little space. I'm patient, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I'm happy to follow specific care instructions to keep your dog's routine as consistent as possible. I also love sending regular photos and updates so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. I'll treat your dog with the same love, care, and attention I'd give my own! I'm currently taking a break from my full-time job, so I have plenty of availability and flexibility throughout the week. This allows me to accommodate different schedules, provide attentive care, and be flexible with visit times and walks. I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's needs! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities! During drop-in visits, I'll follow your care instructions closely, maintain your pet's usual feeding and daily routines, and make sure they have everything they need. I'll also keep their space clean and tidy. For dog walks, I'll be attentive to their surroundings, use the leash and equipment provided, and pay close attention to their body language and comfort level. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions regarding walking routes, interactions with other dogs, or individual needs. I'll also send regular photo updates and messages so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. You can count on me to treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own!

“Eden was an amazing cat sitter! Super nice, organized, and attentive. She made sure to ask a lot of questions and sent lots of pictures and videos. She is always on time and is super flexible even when I needed to extend a day due to travel delays. My cat is very shy and warmed up to her super fast. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again!”

“Jennifer was really accommodating and took great care of Spacey. Sent a bunch of updates too - would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friends.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown
We have found our new sitter! Ariana watched our three fur children while we were on a sixteen day trip! She also took our rubbish bins out to the curb for collection day! It was very nice to know she was just a walk away for check-ins. She sent pictures and videos everyday, and followed all our instructions to a T …and then some! She provided our longest care yet, and we are so grateful! I would recommend her for all your fur children needs! “) we have a senior gentleman and two younger kits that also recommend her! =^.^=

Delanie was absolutely wonderful! She provided the most attentive, thoughtful care for my kitty, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I was away for two weeks (the longest I’ve ever been away from her), so knowing she was in such loving and capable hands meant so much. Even while traveling internationally with limited cell service, I always looked forward to Delanie’s detailed updates and recaps. They were such a highlight of my day and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much, Delanie, for going above and beyond! It’s clear how much you genuinely care about the furry family members you look after. I’m incredibly grateful for all the love and attention you gave my kitty and would recommend you to anyone looking for the very best care for their pets!

Isabella was such a great Rover! She was happy to do a pre-meet when we used her for the first time, and she arrived promptly as agreed upon. She was a great communicator (including about a non-pet-related house issue - which we appreciated!) and Cleo seemed to love her based on the photos sent. We’ve already hired again!

Maddie was so patient and did an amazing job taking care of my newly diagnosed diabetic cat. She is very knowledgeable of animals and you can tell she loves them (and they love her!). My cat is 14 years old, a feisty older lady who doesn’t really like new people or other animals in general, so not an easy kitty, yet she liked Maddie! Will definitely be booking again and would 100% recommend.

Kenny did a super job watching Lola, my 12 year old female cat. Lola is shy around new people, but Kenny was able to get her to trust him by reliably showijg Lola attention, even when Lola seemed to be firmly camped under the bed. Kenny has lots of experience and he shows a good understanding of cats and their differences. He's also excellent at sending pictures and updates, and he was perfectly reliable for the 4 weeks that we used is services for drop in visits. I highly recommend him and I wouldn't hesitate to request his services in the future.

Jessica was nothing short of absolutely and unequivocally phenomenal. Both my partner and myself were elated to have someone who was not only accommodating, but was very kind and considerate to our cat. She was communicative, takes outstanding photos, and truly a pleasure to have watch our cat.

Absolutely perfect with shy cats! I was so anxious about leaving my incredibly timid and fearful cat, but Rachael was a total professional-compassionate, reliable and caring. She completely understood how to handle a shy pet—giving them plenty of space, moving quietly, and never forcing an interaction. She is also an excellent communicator with humans ;). So so grateful to have found her and will definitely be reaching out in the future. Thank you so much!!!
