House Sitting in Elkton

“My dogs immediately felt the good energy and did so well with him. Communicative, punctual, professional, kind... absolutely rebooking! My senior beagle and border collie are needy little things so I am picky about Rovers and this is a great fit!”

Jenny S.

“What an amazing experience and person. Great communication and tons of pictures. Shasta was not only well cared for, she was super chill when we came home. No anxiety or stress, just happy. Have already booked 2 additional trips and many more to come. Thank you!!”

“Megan took great care of my fur babies and my home during my vacation. She answered my texts promptly and she even sent me cute pictures of my pets. I felt comfortable leaving my pets and my home in her care after meeting with her. It was my first time using Rover and she was beyond helpful. I would recommend Megan and I will be using her services again in the near future. It was nice to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing someone trustworthy was taking good care of my pets.”

“Marley was amazing! Super reliable, kind, and took great care of Eva. I felt completely at ease. Highly recommend!”

“Taylor is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She is very responsible and takes great care of our 3 pups as well as maintaining the house while we are gone! I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter for their babies❤️”

Donna L.

“Briana was phenomenal!!! We entrusted her with our 3 dogs (one of them being diabetic) and 4 cats while we went half way around the world (we live in Georgie, USA and went to the country of Austria). She kept us constantly updated with frequent messages and photos which allowed us to enjoy and focus on our trip and not have to worry about the wellbeing of our fur babies … we highly recommend Briana for further trips.”

“Amari was AMAZING with all of our fur babies! She played with them all afternoon, and even managed to wear out our Border Collie, which is nearly impossible 😊 One of our dogs loves her so much he's still waiting by the door for her, hours later, waiting for his new favorite friend to come back! We will absolutely recommend her services and will, without question, use her services again. Thanks again, Amari!! ❤️”

“Samantha took great care of our house and our pets. She sent lots of pictures of happy faces updating us on their days together. Great experience!”

About: I provide calm, attentive and reliable care for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages — including puppies, seniors and dogs who need a slower, more grounded presence. I currently care for five dogs of my own, all with different personalities and needs, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, walks, feeding schedules, medications and individual care. I pay close attention to a dog’s emotional state and adjust pace, structure and energy accordingly. My approach is steady and respectful. Dogs tend to settle quickly with me and many clients tell me their dogs are calmer and happier after our walks. I prioritize safety, communication and consistency and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I plan my days to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, exercise, and care without rushing. I prioritize safety, clear routines, and calm handling at all times. I follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leashes, and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and surroundings, whether in my home or theirs.

“Mara was great with our dog! She was punctual & very kind. Our dog was comfortable with her the moment they met. Thank you , Mara!”

About: With 5 years of experience working professionally with dogs, through sitting, daycare and grooming, I bring both skills and genuine love to every dog in my care. Having grown up with dogs and caring for multiple senior dogs, I understand the unique needs of any individual dog at every stage of life and meet their every need. I currently work full time as a dog bather, but can easily fit your pup into my busy schedule I am completely available Sundays and Mondays for all services. For the rest of the week, please privately message me so we can work something out, I’m not as available but I am very flexible and would love to meet your adorable pup! I provide comprehensive dog care services including dog sitting, walking, and boarding. During dog sitting, I ensure that each dog receives personalized attention, following your instructions for feeding, exercise, medication, and comfort to maintain their daily routine and well-being. My dog walking services prioritize safety and engagement, offering regular exercise tailored to each dog’s energy level while ensuring proper leash control and waste cleanup. For dog boarding, I create a safe, clean, and nurturing environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for in my home, maintaining their normal schedule and providing ample socialization and playtime. I have 3 very sweet dogs, can separate if needed, a fenced in yard, and a lot of enrichment. Throughout all of my services, I monitor each dog’s health and behavior closely, keeping open communication with owners to provide comfort while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is how much I truly love being around animals. I’m patient, attentive, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and understood. Since I’m not working right now, I’m available all day, every day, until further notice, so I can work with any routine you need. I keep my cat inside in a quiet, comfortable area, and I make sure to follow each client’s routine so their pets stay relaxed and happy.

About: As a lifelong animal caretaker and work-from-home entrepreneur, I understand that many pets are happiest in their own space. Because I travel frequently myself, I know the peace of mind that comes with finding a sitter who treats your home and your pets with the highest level of respect. I’m an active person and love taking dogs on long, refreshing walks. I’m happy to explore your neighborhood’s favorite trails or stick to a familiar route that makes your dog feel secure. I am intentionally 'picky' about the bookings I take to ensure I can give your pet 100% of my energy and the best possible care. Household Harmony: I treat your home with total respect—maintaining security, bringing in mail, and ensuring you return to a space as clean as you left it. Updates & Peace of Mind: Expect regular photo/video check-ins so you can travel worry-free knowing your best friend is thriving. I am a local realtor so you can be assured that I will take great care of your home while coming in and out of it or staying with your pet.

About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own German Shepherd, along with my Goldendoodle. Through owning and caring for large, high-energy dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of the exercise, structure, patience, and attention they need to thrive. I'm also a Rover customer myself. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and communicative when leaving your pets in someone else's care. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I have experience with large dog breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies, and multi-dog households. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and following specific care instructions to help maintain your pet's normal routine. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care during walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting stays. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to getting to know your furry family members! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As I currently work from home and I’m an dog owner, I'm used to structuring my day around walks, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing consistent care and attention. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and making your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the structure they're used to. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home. I treat every home with respect, keep pets securely leashed or contained as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and well-being. I'm experienced with large and high-energy dogs and understand the importance of safe handling, exercise, and supervision. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay informed and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire visit or stay.

About: Hi! My name is Lindsey and I currently live in Lancaster, PAl. I have always loved dogs and have had one since I was 11 including a husky, black lab, and great pyrenees. I currently have a black lab/german shepherd mix back home in baltimore that I miss very much and would love to be able to help others out with their dogs. Aside from having my own dogs, I also have experience watching and walking dogs of all ages and sizes. I am used to owning and watching dogs with all levels of energy so I am adaptable to the dog's needs. I do go to school full time for nursing so I have a set schedule I will be able to work around.

“Alyssa did an outstanding job staying in our home with our 2 full of energy pups! She truly went above and beyond taking care of everything. Not only did she shower our girls with extra love and attention, our house was cleaner than when we left!! We’ve already booked her for 2 more times this year! Thank you Alyssa and we look forward to seeing you again in October! ??”
