My goal is to ensure your pet feels happy, relaxed, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home.
“Our dog warmed right up to Ashley! She took such great care of our complicated guy, and we appreciate how kind and communicative she is. We will definitely be counting on her again.”
About: I’ve been obsessed with animals since I was very young. I currently have five beautiful kitties, twenty-four geckos, one snake, three freshwater aquariums, one tarantula. Every and anyone that knows me can vouch for my pure love and obsession for my babies. (I can provide references!) I have plenty of experience taking care of all different types of standard and exotic babies, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask! I have a beautiful single family home in a quiet, safe neighborhood. My backyard is properly fenced in for safety. Your babies will be safe and secure inside my home. They won’t be lonely either! They’ll have my beautiful kitties to play and snuggle with. I have two fully blind angels and two normal angels, who happen to be my whole life! To add, my household consists of only two adults. So there’s no extra stress added onto your babies from things such as children. I am currently free all seven days to accommodate your needs. Feel free to reach out and ask me any questions you may have! I hope to hear from you soon! 😻 I have a beautifully spaced yard for your pups to run. I also have a beautiful unaltered GSD. He loves to make new friends! If you have any questions please feel free to message me!
“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!”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our dogs and cat (and bunny). Even with rough weather and power outages, the animals were in good hands. Thank you for keeping them healthy, happy and entertained.”
“Emily took care of our recently adopted (reactive) dog and our two cats. This occurred around the snow/ice storm in February 2025, which caused havoc with walking the dog and being outside. Yet Emily was up to the task and we came home to a very happy dog and very happy cats! Also, when the dog got into some mischief in the house, Emily contacted me right away to let me know - which I 100% appreciated. Together we came up with a game plan. This was the responsible, honest, and careful way to proceed, which was great. I definitely would use Emily again.”
“Shelley is a PHENOMENAL sitter, truly went above and beyond in watching our dog who so clearly loved her and was looking around for her when we got back. She is communicative, a wonderful pet lover, and so trustworthy. We will absolutely use her again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to strongly recommend her!!”
About: Note: I live in downtown Baltimore but work in Arlington, VA so housesits in DC/Virginia are ideal. Hi! I’m Serena, a dependable and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of experience caring for pets and homes. I grew up in a home full of cats and 1 dog and was a proud cat owner for many years. Since then, caring for other people’s pets has become something I truly enjoy. Friends, neighbors, and travelers regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I always work to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own environment. My clients often tell me they appreciate my communication while they’re away. I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your pets are doing and feel confident they’re in good hands. Outside of pet sitting, I’m an avid gardener with over 30 indoor plants and a vegetable garden. Because of this, I’m also very comfortable caring for plants and maintaining a home while you’re traveling. At the moment, I am available full-time some weekdays during the day as well as some weekends. Please send me your dates, and I will check my calendar. My Care Style My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During visits I focus on: • feeding and fresh water • litter box or bathroom breaks • playtime and attention • monitoring behavior and wellbeing • maintaining routines your pet is used to I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away.
About: I have over 6 years of professional animal care experience, including working as a veterinary assistant, at dog daycare and boarding facilities, and caring for farm animals. I have also volunteered with wildlife rehabilitation centers and horse stables, so I am comfortable working with a wide variety of species and personalities. I grew up around animals and currently have pets of my own, including cats and reptiles. Throughout my life I have cared for dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and I am confident handling pets with different temperaments and needs. Friends, family, and coworkers have always relied on me when they need someone they trust to watch their pets or ask questions about animal care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I would love to meet you and your pets and provide reliable, attentive care you can feel confident about. I have a relatively open schedule as I do my school work remotely, so I have plenty of time to swing by whenever you may need. I will follow all set directions for your pets, whether you want them out in the yard or leashed on a walk, and whatever else they may need.
About: Taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine. When I was young, my family brought home Lucy, and I naturally became the main care giver for her. When I turned 16, I began volunteering at my local animal shelter which included walking, feeding, and cleaning the dogs and cages (and of course giving lots of love). Since going to college, I helped my dog mom friends take care of their fur babies! My fiance and I work from home so we have full availability :). We have a schedule with Fiona which includes long walks and going to the park! We are a short walking distance from Patterson Park. We also have a dog, friendly patio and rooftop balcony. The patio is accessible for the dogs during nice days. We keep the door open with a screen door that they are able to go through.
“Alyssa was amazing! Throughout their stay with our dog and cat, they provided updates and photos which we really appreciated. We could tell that our pets were well taken care of and very happy when we got back from our trip. Thanks again! Would recommend and book again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dundalk
Right from the Meet and Greet we were very impressed with Michael - he asked some great questions about our dogs and their behaviors/routines that were an immediate indication he knows dogs well. We have two Australian Shepherds, an older Aussie with some reactivity, and a younger Aussie who is still in training and with tons of energy. He kept them engaged, active, and worked on some training. If he can manage our crazy boys, I'm confident he can handle just about any dogs! He provided dog/house sitting for 1 night/2 days, and we're already booking him for future trips.
Courtney is the absolute best and we are so happy we found her! Courtney has stayed with our dog a few times now and never disappoints. This time she cared for our dog while we went away for a 9 day trip and took the best care of our girl. She’s so good at sending updates and making our pup feel so loved while we’re away. Highly recommend!
Alyssa was amazing! Throughout their stay with our dog and cat, they provided updates and photos which we really appreciated. We could tell that our pets were well taken care of and very happy when we got back from our trip. Thanks again! Would recommend and book again in the future.
Paige did an amazing job watching our 3 big dogs! We were away for 4 days and never once were we worried about our pups! She settled right into their routine and sent us so many pictures of them. This was our first time using river and Paige and we will definitely be rebooking any time we need her!
Carlos is amazing and we HIGHLY recommend him! Went above and beyond and exceeded all expectations. He watched our dogs for 11 days in our home and was very responsible, communicative and reliable. Aside from that, he also did walks for our dogs and was punctual. One of our dogs is on a special diet and is a picky eater and Carlos was able to deal with her no problem. He’s a dog whisperer and even managed to get our people-weary pup to warm up to him. He even took the dogs along with him on mini adventures instead of leaving them at home! We love Carlos and feel blessed to have found him and we will be clients for as long as he will have us.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Dundalk walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dundalk maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Dundalk 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!

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 .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
