“Kaitlin did a phenomenal job with our furry ones. Great communication, did everything the way asked and even did little things to make sure we knew everything was being taken care of. From the check in photos to seeing how our doggos were treating her we knew she was taking wonderful care of them. 100% recommended and will definitely come back to her the next time we might need anything.”
“Lauren has just been beyond reliably reassuring to us in looking in and caring for our shy cat. He tends to hide from everyone, only to pop out when time to eat etc. Not only did we receive a check in note every day but she was able to see him hiding in a closet and under a bed. She sent us photos and it was a fun thing to share. Having a way with animals is surely a plus with Lauren!. We were far away and returned to a happy, contented cat!! It was truly a no anxiety experience!! We would highly recommend her to take care of any beloved pet!! Edie and Gary Cuttler”
“This was my first time using rover and I was very nervous leaving my Chloe with a stranger but Lorena was a fabulous sitter. She communicated with me and asked questions to learn more about Chloe’s personality. I would definitely use her again.”
About: Hi, I'm Ryan. I live in a house in Elkridge, MD with a large fenced backyard. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I've had dogs from 10lbs to 150lbs. I currently have a 6ish year old lab basenji mix that loves other dogs and is a great playmate or nap buddy. I have experience with giving medication to dogs and cats ranging from pills, eye cream, liquid shot in the mouth and insulin shots. I am comfortable and experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I often work from home and am able to be with the dogs most of the day. Most days I am available to go on walks with your pup! I love all dogs and can't wait to meet yours! I work from home so your pet will never be alone and I am always able to provide potty breaks or give extra attention if needed. I have a large grassy backyard with a 4 foot fence and one very friendly dog that is always down for a play buddy but will also happily nap on the couch. I have extra crates if ever needed.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 12. my family has always had dogs and I’m a cat owner myself. I’ve house sat out of state multiple times for furry friends and love spending time on all types of animals! I work a 9-5 monday - friday so I’m available weeks days after 515 and all weekends. I have off all major holidays so I’m available then as well! My cat has free roam of my apartment. He tries his hand at an escape every now and then so I’m mindful of indoor cats that desperately want to be outside cats. I take the dogs I watch out on frequent walks to stretch their legs and say hi to world. I’m comfortable crating if need be and requested.
“Kerry has done “drop ins” for my cats/I numerous times. My cats love her and I so appreciate her pictures and updates - makes it so much easier to be away from my babies for an extended period of time. She’s very trustworthy and incredibly kind. Highly recommend!”

I have training experience including but not limited to, crate training, potty training, leash training, etc. I have taken care of dogs as small as Shih Tzus to as large as Rottweilers, so I am comfortable around dogs of various sizes. I was the primary care taker for our family's' 2 senior dogs; being sure to give them around the clock access to the bathroom as well as being punctual with any and all medications. My pet care experience is not limited to dogs alone I have cared for cats for friends & family for 4 years. Feeding, playing, changing/cleaning litter & administering medication when needed. I adore all animals and ensuring your pet is loved, safe, and cared for is my top priority. I work 8am-5pm in Elkridge, MD. I have plenty of evening and early morning availability. Depending on location, I am available during lunch breaks for any midday walks/feedings. I want to ensure the pets comfort is the priority.

“Ryan has been sitting my dogs for years. He was here when I adopted my last dog when she was still a young pup till end she was 14. Towards the end of her life he stayed with her a lot and was always great giving her medication and getting her to eat meals. Ryan was very understanding when she went from going on 90 minute long walks to barely being able to make it down the street. With my new dog, she had a few accidents the first time Ryan watched her and he was very understanding and patient with her. Anytime I stay long at work or go away I can always count on him to walk and care for my dogs. Whenever he stays over the house is always spotless when I come back. I trust him 100% with my pets.”
