About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals and have over a decade of experience as the primary caretaker for my own senior Pittie mix. This personal journey has given me a deep understanding of senior dog needs, “big personality” breeds, and the importance of patient, consistent care. Over the years, I’ve served as a dedicated dog walker and sitter for friends and neighbors, adapting to a wide variety of temperaments and energy levels. I pride myself on providing a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every pet I meet. Baltimore city local with a flexible WFH schedule! I am available for weekday walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Because I work from home, I can offer consistent timing and am often available for last-minute needs or recurring midday visits. I’d love to help make your workday easier! Safety is my top priority! Inside your home, I am extremely respectful of your space and privacy, ensuring doors are locked and your pet is safely secured before I leave. I’m also happy to provide photo updates through the app so you have complete peace of mind.
“Melissa is AMAZING! She went above and beyond for my fur babies while I was gone for two weeks. If you have the opportunity to book her services, don’t hesitate to do so!”

“Heather was great!! She watched my two kitties for a week while I was away paying them one hour visits each day. She took my cat meow outside and played with my other cat clementine and sent pictures of it all. I was so appreciative while I was gone! Will definitely be booking her again.”

“This is the second time Leah has watched my cats while I’m out of town and she is definitely my go-to cat sitter! She is thorough, gives my cats lots of love, sends great pics of them, and my cats love her. I totally trust her taking care of them while I am out of town and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

“Grace was always on time to the visits. She went far and beyond and did everything I requested. I'm grateful I had her to take care of padme. Definitely will pick her again for a future. Thank you Grace!”

“Provided excellent communication and updates on how Riley was doing during my trip. Worked with a difficult door lock and reached out to ensure that nothing would be damaged in getting it to operate and gave Riley the extra attention and loving that she craves. 10/10”

“I’ve had Jaclyn take care of my dogs a few times now and she always sends me updates on the dogs and sends me pictures, assuring me not to worry while I’m away. I highly recommend her services!”

“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”

“Lidia was absolutely amazing with my dog Tango! Super sweet, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. She made sure he got all his potty breaks and was very flexible and accommodating when I had to add an extra drop-in. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Meghan was amazing with our two dogs. She made sure she had all the info beforehand that she needed to provide excellent care. She provided updates with adorable pictures and left us worry-free, knowing that our dogs were in good hands. Thanks again, Meghan!”

“If you need a cat sitter… JESSICA IS THE ONLY BEST/PERFECT option!! As someone who was very scared to leave my cat alone for the first time and not knowing anything about this app, I was very fortunate on finding Jessica to babysit my cat while I was away! She not only comes in to do her job, but she also makes sure to create a bond and play with your little friend! I have nothing but amazing things to say about her! She is the BEST!!! If anyone is worried about communication (like me) you have NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! Jessica would send me photos of my cat and a summary of how their days went very fast! And if I had any questions or concerns, she would always reply back ASAP! Jessica is the ONE to take care of your little friends! (:”


About: • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. I go above and beyond with detailed "report cards", daily photo and video updates, or regular check-ins via text or email. I take the time to build trust with nervous, shy, or reactive dogs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I work part-time from Saturday through Tuesday, but I'm completely free on my days off and on Monday mornings until 2:00 PM. I'd love to provide companionship and care during those times, ensuring your pet is never alone for long. I always match the owner’s exact routine to keep the pet calm. I provide tailored in-home care for all types of pets, ensuring they stay safe and happy in their own environment. I treat every home with respect and send regular updates so you have peace of mind
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with two dogs: a 12 year old Golden Doodle and a 4 year old Cavapoo, so I’m very familiar with both senior dogs and younger, energetic pups. While they are my family dogs and not currently living with me, I’ve been involved in their care my entire life, often handling walks and daily responsibilities, especially when my parents were at work and I took on most of their care. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like my own and enjoy getting to know their unique personalities! I work in the office Monday through Wednesday from 9:00–4:30, so my availability is a bit more limited during those days. However, I’m available during evenings on those days for walks or drop-ins. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, which allows me to be much more flexible throughout the day for pet care. Weekends can vary for me—I tend to be busy Friday evenings and Saturdays, but Sundays are generally open and a good day for me to provide care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure pets are comfortable and following their normal routine. During walks, I focus on safe leash handling and choosing routes based on each dog’s needs. For drop-in visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and lots of play time of course. I always respect clients’ homes and my goal is to keep pets happy, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.
“Emma was WONDERFUL! I was very nervous about using Rover while we were away and Emma put us right at ease. She updated us every time she visited and our dog loved her. I will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I am very patient with senior dogs and puppies and I love to see them happy. Overnight stays are easier since I have my own pets and I can monitor and walk them all together and keep them in a routine. My dog sleeps in his bed, he is an older dog so sleeps a lot and my cats sleep in their tree or couch. I live in a townhome with plenty of room for the babies to play and/or keep company
“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”

James was absolutely fantastic with our cat! Sometimes she has a hard time warming up to new people but she had a great time with James. He took amazing care of Willow while we were on a long vacation and was even able to extend his services on short notice. We would recommend him without hesitation and will be booking with him again the next time we are gone.

Sylvia is 100% amazing!! On an international trip, my internet connection was super challenging (unexpectedly). Each time I was able to obtain signal, I was flooded with the best pictures of my Teddy, and great check ins from Sylvia. I immediately knew that Teddy was in great care and I was at ease in my heart. Sylvia's great communication and diligence was non-stop, even when my communication went down! This added so much literal PEACE to my time away. I will use her again and again in the future for sure.

Christine has been our go-to sitter for many of our recent trips, and she’s great! I really appreciate the detailed updates and the sweet photos we get while we’re away. The peace of mind we have when we book with Christine makes our trips that much more relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend her as a sitter!
