“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”

“Lydia was absolutely incredible—hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She spent so much time playing with our girl, which meant a lot since our puppy has tons of energy. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was getting plenty of attention and stimulation while we were away. Lydia also kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures, which we really appreciated. We feel so lucky to have found her and are excited to have her as our dog sitter going forward!”


“Lisa is amazing. My boys were so happy and calm when I arrived home from vacation! Lisa sent awesome photos and updates throughout her stay which gave me peace of mind. Thanks so much, Lisa!!!”

“Naya handled all my dog could throw at someone new - from pooping in his crate to trucking her into extra play time outside, naya handled it all perfectly. When I got home, I literally had to reassure my fiance someone did take care of juicy- she left the house with no trace she was here, she only left behind a happy well loved pup! Will be booking naya again!”

“I have a senior dog that’s very high maintenance. He takes several medications on a rigid schedule, and he has potty training issues which require a lot of cleaning. Natalie followed all instructions to a tee and was very responsive to messages. I was very anxious about leaving my dog due to his age and all of his issues, but ahe eased my anxiety which helped me to really enjoy my vacation. I would definitely book her again.”

“Pre was a God send. She took great care of my pups for a weekend. She stayed in constant contact and my pups really enjoyed her being here. My only request for next time would be to talk with any sitter about cleaning. I am on the OCD side and when you have multiple dogs, having a clean and odor-free home is crucial to me. Sitters are not housekeepers but I would need to ensure the sitter is willing to do some light housekeeping. I would definitely use Pre again because she was accommodating and beyond personable. She felt like I had family watching my dogs.”

“Went out of town for two weeks and left my pup in Jasmine’s capable hands. She was extremely communicative - not just photos but also how my dog was doing, adjusting, lil tummy issues she had, what type of walk they went on, etc. I felt good knowing my dog was in the hands of another dog mom. Clearly she’s very capable with dogs and mine was well looked after! 10/10 would recommend.”

“Sierra did a great job dogsitting my senior dog and housesitting while I was out of town for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures, which was very reassuring!”
“James has dog sat for us multiple times now! He sends frequent updates about how the dogs are doing and makes sure our home is well taken care of. We are confident our dogs are happy and cared for when James is with them and will continue to work with him whenever possible!”

“She was able to housesit for our two fur babies while we saw some family. She had great communication and updates and we were very reassured they were in the best hands possible getting all the loves and walks. Ten stars.”
“Nico watched our cavapoo named Rufus for four nights while we traveled out of state. They gave us daily updates, which were always of our dog at play and having fun. They left the house in perfect shape. And we would definitely go with Nico again in the future.”

About: I've worked with working dogs, show dogs, protection dogs, outside dogs and inside dogs. I've worked professionally as a dog walker, boarding and doggy daycares. I can work overnights, most weekends and any time during the week. I'm comfortable with multiple nights or even just a couple hours during the day. I offer services in the client's home currently. I have 2 cats and dog and a very busy household currently and don't have the space to offer services in my own home.
“Danie was awesome - so attentive to my dogs and always checked in before doing something new!! She sent lots of pictures and updates while I was away from home!! My pups loved her!!”

“I have used Hannah numerous times now and have been pleased with the care she provides my dogs. My pups enjoy having her around a good part of the day because she works remotely. I know they are in good hands with Hannah.”

About: I’ve worked at and managed a dog boarding facility for a little over two years in downtown Baltimore. I also have a pit bull mix and a beagle. My beagle is 10 who’ve I had since she was a puppy and my pity is about 5 who’ve I’ve also had since a puppy. My beagle has currently had to undergo a lot of surgeries so I can certainly take care of any high maintenance or elderly dogs. I work a full time job but when sitting or having animals to care for they will get tended to in the morning before work, immediately after I am off and before I go to bed/home. The weekends I am always free. Pets will not be welcome in my home as I have too many animals and unknown factors associated with that. When entering a clients home I will make sure the pet can hear me entering the home as to not startle them. I will always let them sniff me and see who I am before any further approach. Any treats that are allowed to be given while owners are away I will give. It ultimately depends on the animal and what is communicated to me about the personality and behaviors. I will always Ask questions if I am unsure of anything and never assume something based off the way I care for my personal pets. Everyone has different instructions and I intend to honor them.
“I have a very outgoing cat who needs a lot of attention and a very shy dog who also needs a lot of attention. Abiyah was able to keep them both happy and healthy while we were away. Very communicative as well! When we came home, it was like we never left. Would definitely use her again.”

About: I'm based in Federal Hill. I've grown up around animals, mostly dogs of all sizes and cats. I love pet sitting for friends and family, and I've begun fostering kittens from local shelters in recent years. I work from home and regularly go on walks throughout my day already, so I'd love to take your furry friend with me to help them get some energy out. I have a soft spot for cats especially and have one of my own as my little wfh coworker. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility especially during the weekdays to do drop-ins, go on walks, or keep your pet company while you're out of town. I'm free some weekends for the same so just check my availability! I can work with whatever environment you and your pet are most comfortable in! I don't bring your pet to my home or car. I'm very careful to always leash dogs and not let cats outside. I can do drop-ins at your home, walks around the neighborhood, and hang out with your pet at your home in their familiar environment.

Federal Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brianna was the perfect dog sitter. She sent many many updates pictures which I loved. She took care of my pup like she was her own and even alerted me quickly when she thought something may be wrong with her. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone and everyone!

James has dog sat for us multiple times now! He sends frequent updates about how the dogs are doing and makes sure our home is well taken care of. We are confident our dogs are happy and cared for when James is with them and will continue to work with him whenever possible!

Amanda was the best! I was very skeptical about hiring someone who I didn’t know to stay at my house for a week while on vacation but Amanda gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was very communicative, she sent pics and updates daily. You could tell she loves animas and my pets felt it while we were away. She even cleaned our house while she was here. I cannot recommend her more and I will absolutely be using her again, thanks Amanda!

This was the second time Lydia stayed with our dog, Pax. She gave us regular updates with photos, left our house spotless, and (most importantly) won over our cranky old man. He has alway only loved us, but now there is a third person in the world he has warmed up to. Highly recommend Lydia! we would have her house and dog sit for us again anytime!

Tanner took great care of our Labradoodle, Higgins, and our home for a 5 consecutive overnights! He was very responsive and kept us up to date on Higgins's activities with adorable photos. Tanner did a great job maintaining our guidelines for Higgins and training routines too, I felt relief on our trip knowing our fuzzy guy was in great (and professional) hands for an extended period. I'll definitely reach out again in for future trips. :) Higgins keeps asking when he'll get to see his friend Tanner again, haha. Thanks, Tanner!

Kathleen is wonderful! She has helped us both with occasional dog walking and a 1 week home stay with our 2 dogs. She is communicative, reliable, and so easy to work with. While we were away on vacation recently, we had complete peace of mind knowing our dogs (and home) were in her care. She sent regular updates and clearly took the time to understand our dog’s needs—our dogs were happy and well cared for when we got home, and the house was spotless. Kathleen is warm, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!!!
