“As a first time puppy owner, finding the right person to watch your fur baby is nerve wrecking. Riley was amazing!! She provided in-home daycare for our pup and kept up with his routine. She sent pics and videos of him and he seemed so happy. I’ll definitely be booking her again to watch or furry friend.”

About: I am a local environmental science student with extensive experience in professional pet and house sitting. Having grown up with dogs and cats, I have provided dependable care for repeat clients since the age of 12. I would welcome the opportunity to care for your animals and can provide references upon request. I am a local college student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to commit to various shifts. I am generally available to work during evenings and on weekends. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my availability aligns with your current needs. Caring for my own two dogs led me to discover a passion for working with animals, and I am now seeking opportunities to gain professional experience as I pursue a career in this field. To ensure both you and your pets are comfortable, I typically offer a pre-visit to meet in person. This allows us to discuss your specific care instructions and ensures you are confident in my services as a caretaker.
“Casie was patient with my rambunctious kitten and compassionate toward my older cat. She also made sure to document and update me daily. Her hard work allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. I hope to work with her again for my next vacation.”

“Carla was very responsive and took great care of my bonded pair of kitties! I feel easy knowing I can travel and have Carla as a responsible and caring sitter while I travel. I plan to book with Carla again, and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Lindsay S. saved the day! She came over on only 2 days notice & on one of the hottest days of the year. We had to keep our dog inside; Lindsay S. was prompt in arriving at his "dinnertime" to let him out, feed him & keep him company for the drop-in visit. She took great care with him & then sent photos on her own accord. That put our minds at ease until we could get home a few hours later. Well worth the (very affordable) fee & we will reach out to her again in the future, for sure! Thanks Lindsay S.!”

“Jason was very punctual and responsible with taking care of our two cats. He always sent us pictures and this was reassuring as we were so far away! We will definitely be using Jason again!”

“Lin has been an amazing help for us. She goes above and beyond! She provides detailed insight into her visit and gives us great tips to help us train our puppy. Our puppy loves his time with her and will definitely be using Lin again! Highly recommend.”

“We appreciated Lora's calm demeanor and care for our Heidi. She took time to schedule us for a meet-and-greet so she and Heidi could get acquainted and so she and we could discuss care needs.”

“Bobby was great with our two dogs! I'm an anxious dog momma who leaves a lot of instructions and wants a lot of communication and Bobby helped me feel at ease. He quickly responded to things and sent great photos. He was also more than willing to accommodate our not set in stone plans as we watched the weather. He was willing to do extra visits or less visits depending on our need. I trust him with our dogs!”

About: I've had family dogs for 13 years, but started taking care of some of my neighbors' dogs 5 years ago, whether it be taking them for potty breaks or staying over at their house to give them attentive care. I work part time at a pet boarding place as a kennel tech, so I have lots of experience with many different breeds and temperaments of both cats and dogs. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, from Yorkie to Saint Bernard, and have lots of experience caring for both puppies and senior pets that might need more rigorous attention. I will be working part-time this summer, meaning that on the occasional days I work, I am available any time before 8am and then after 1-2pm. I can still stay over with your pet any day, that just means that on workdays, I would feed and walk them (And any other things necessary) before 8am, and then have to leave for work and then come back at 1-2. Whenever I am not actively at work, I can spend all my time caring for your pets! I am experienced at reading pet body language and adapting to how they respond. I am very communicative and will send lots of updates about your pet, including daily pictures of your fur babies! I can supply treats (with your approval) and can take them to parks and other places for walks, as I have a car and license. I'm dedicated to making sure your animal is as happy as can be :-)
“I appreciated Keira's cheery disposition and professionalism. She was quite knowledgeable about animals in general because of her regular profession and that helped put me at ease. I would book with her again.”

“Ryan is fantastic, and I highly recommend him. He came over for a meet in-advance, and said/did a lot to help us feel confident in hiring him. He was prompt, clearly loved our dog, played with her a lot, and took great pics (it helps that we have a gorgeous dog).”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with a genuine passion for caring for animals. I grew up loving our family Weimaraner named Shadow and later owned a sassy Morkie named Ace, who brought so much personality and joy into my life. While I don’t have a dog of my own right now, I truly miss that companionship and love being able to share that care with other dogs. I work in healthcare, so being attentive, responsible, and safety-focused comes naturally to me; these skills and qualities I will bring to every pet and family encounter. I have spent my career working with children so I am naturally a very calm and patient person. I look forward to meeting your family and fur bestie! As a working mom, I’m available on evenings and weekends, and I’m committed to making sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like family making sure to providing updates, attention, and lots of love every step of the way. I will make sure my care is tailored to your fur bestie’s needs and their routine.
About: Hi there! 👋 After taking a two-year break to settle into a new area about an hour away, I’m excited to be reactivating my Rover profile! During that time, my family and I went through some changes — we said goodbye to our two beloved dogs and recently welcomed a playful new puppy who’s now 6 months old. I’m looking forward to socializing him while providing loving, reliable care for other families’ pets - whether you need help with walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or anything in between. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pups. Let’s chat and see how I can help make your days a little easier and your pets a lot happier! I am a stay at home mom and dog mom with a lot of mouths to feed! I am on Rover for not only an income but because I am readily available most days! We would love the opportunity to snuggle your fur babies :) I care for your animals as if they are my own. Love and plenty of play time if that’s what they are into. If they want to be a potato we have plenty of couches!
About: I am a young grandparent, a nurse and there is a retired K9 handler in my home, I am looking to help you with quick pet tasks in your home. I have a flexible schedule. I've had pet children for 30 years I have a flexible work schedule and make my own hours. My spouse works from home. I would like to stay fairly local to our zip code. I have a ranch style home with a 5year old poodle in our family. I have no problems with crating pets and short leashed walks. I do not have a fenced yard.
“Megan was wonderful with our cats! I appreciated her suggesting we have a meeting and greet in advance of her watching them, everything ran very smoothly as a result! Thank you Megan!”

Eldersburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alyssa once again blew us away with her Personlized care of our pets. She also went above and beyond to keep things going smoothly at our house by watering plants and bringing in packages and mail. She truly is top notch and care deeply for the pets she cares for. Thank you so much Alyssa!

Moriah was truly a god send! Our dog is very protective of our home and the people in it. We were afraid we wouldn’t be able to go on our vacation this year because of our dog’s behavior. Moriah knew how to handle our situation with care and discipline with our dog. She sent pictures and updates every day. With each day our dog feel in love with her. I would recommend Moriah to anyone looking for a not just a dog sitter but a dog whisperer! ~Angel

Michelle was EXCELLENT with my senior pup! She was absolutely wonderful. From the start, she was attentive, patient, and incredibly kind. She took the time to understand my dog’s needs and pace, and treated him with such care and compassion. It’s not easy finding someone I trust with my old man, but she exceeded every expectation. She was also incredibly kind to my Mom who was home during the drop-ins. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone thoughtful and reliable to care for your best friend—especially for senior pups!
