“Christa is AWESOME. Would highly recommend working with her! She’s very professional, quick to respond, and excellent about communicating when it comes to your pets. She even worked well with my large dog who can occasionally be leash reactive. We had to move for work and with she could come with!”
“I cannot stress enough how above and beyond Kaitlyn goes! Unfortunately she was only able to walk my Zeus for one day before we found out he had a brain tumor. Without knowing this, Kaitlyn arrived early for his walk, spent extra time with him after his walk, and was incredibly communicative. She even interacted with my neighbors who love Zeus and updated me when he got a treat from them. I’m so happy she gave him such a great day before all of this happened. It’s obvious she’s dedicated and truly cares for the animals she sits for!”
“Kenneth was an amazing dog walker for our dog! He was patient and kind to my sometimes timid dog. He was very flexible with our schedule and needs. Our dog Bear always got excited when Kenneth came for his daily walks! I would highly recommend Kenneth for any pet services.”

About: Life-long dog owner and lover with experience pet sitting and walking! My dog has his trick title, and I would love to help your dog learn new things while I spend time with the little buddy. If your dog is friendly, I can even walk them together for some social time if you want! We have a lovely home with lots of toys and comfy places for your pup to hang out, crated or free roaming. I have been a foster dog parent and I have taken care of all types, from little springy poodles to plodding old beagles, to sleepy recovering collies. I have been a go-to pet sitter for friends for their large dogs, too. I swear if you ask me to I will read literal storybooks to your dogs. I will draw you mega cute portraits of your dog. I will take your dog on local adventures. Heck, I will talk to your dog about ethics if you want me to. I will try to train your dog do this trick: Me: "how's life?" Your dog: "ruff" There are infinite possibilities. Your dog and I will star in a montage where you're dog learns to play basketball. I'm so psyched to meet your dog right now. I’m reliable and I have a flexible schedule for the remainder of the summer. I spend most of the day at home, and when I’m stepping out your pup is encouraged to snuggle up on my bed. Some important requirements for dogs who stay at the house! -Dogs must be house trained -Dogs must either be happy in a crate, or trustworthy/non-destructive when not in a crate -Dogs must not show aggression towards other dogs or cats -Dogs must either be under 50 lbs OR dogs must be trained not to jump on people/put teeth on people, or pull uncontrollably on the leash I have a relaxed summer schedule and will spend much of my day with your dog! Dogs go out first thing in the am, get breakfast, have s longer walk in the afternoon, and go out before bed (please specify specific schedule needs if this doesn’t work for your little guy). Usually I incorporate some training during the evenings while we hang out at the house! Pets are generally fed morning and evening. Walks are provided periodically throughout the day. Play time happens a number of times a day, and dogs can play fetch in the yard!
“Maya is the best! She is heaven sent for me and my little pup…I work crazy clinical hours at the hospital and have to make changes last minute and Maya is so caring and considerate taking the time to take care of my dog when needed - even last minute! I feel lucky to have her help 😁”
“Rich is incredible super helpful whenever we go away and also helps me out in a pinch from time to time which has been awesome. His wide array of knowledge with different dogs is super helpful especially with our huge baby Goomba. 70 pounds of pitbull.”
“Rebecca was kind & communicative! She made sure she knew where everything was ahead of time and took our pup for a great walk and sent lots of updates and pictures. Would happily book her again.”
About: I've had my dog Maximus for over five years and he is my absolute best friend. Prior to adopting Max, I fostered a reactive dog for a few months so I am familiar with handling dogs that have special behavioral needs. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friends! I work in education and have a lot of flexibility in the summer while only going into the office one or two days a week so I can be flexible given advanced notice! Pets are family and treated as such! My dog does have limitations on which furniture he can be on so I will respect any boundaries that you set for your home but don't worry, they'll still get plenty of love!
“Setting things up with Anne was super easy. She took care and consideration of my pups and their needs. Definitely am going to have her walk the pups again when I have the need!”
About: From naps to zoomies, I’ve got your pet covered while you’re away—snuggles, playtime, and the occasional treat included. They'll have fun while they wait for you to return. I'm currently working remotely with a flexible schedule, so my work can be adjusted to fit the pet's needs rather than the other way around. I strive to replicate your pet's regular routine and favorite play activities to the best of my ability, based on your needs and recommendations for your little loved one.
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember and have lived with pets since I was 12. I’ve been a mom to two dogs and 7 cats. I am a very active person. I love going for walks, going to dog parks, playing with both cats and dogs. I am a mature, responsible professional and I currently have a lot of free time. I would like to spend that time doing what I love. I have one cats now, Rue and Fiver. I fostered Rue in 2020 and decided right away that he belonged with me. For the next 3 years, I continued to foster and then decided Rue needed a permanent companion, so Fiver became the perfect little brother. I am a teacher and I do not work during the months of July and August so am available any time of day. During the school year, I am available weekday afternoons and evenings and on weekends. I cannot offer pet care in my home at this time. I am very careful with all animals and will make sure they are safe and comfortable.
About: I have had 2 dogs in my life that I was the primary caregiver for, and I miss having a doggo of my own. This gig is a bridge until I can get another pup for myself! I have also had experience with taking care of 4lbs, 12-week-old puppies (and house training them) to 120lb, 12-year-old, Newfies! So there is a lot of variety in my experience. I work 3/5 from home, so I have a lot of flexibility for mid-day walks. Plus, I'm very conscious of sticking to the schedule your pet is accustomed to! I know how to create a calm, secure space with thoughtful supervision. I can follow your pet-care instructions closely and ensure your fur-baby feels safe, loved, and comfortable during my time with them!

Rikki D.
“As a professional dog trainer I don’t give recommendations for other dog professionals lightly! But I can confidently say that Rikki is your best choice for your dog. They have experience with fostering dogs of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Their own dog has titled in tricks due to their diligent training. And they’ve successfully worked with and trained other species as well including a spicy Sun Conure! On top of their phenomenal animal skills they’re also a people person. Plenty of people like dogs but you need someone who’s communicative, reliable, and personable. You’re definitely in the right place if you want only the best for your dog.”

Ashley B.
“Ashley was wonderful as a dog sitter. Not only do I have two dogs, but they’re both labradors and one was barely 8 months old. Certainly a handful that simply wanted to lot of attention and exercise. I wasn’t able to do it and it was a relief to my heart to know that Ashley would show up and help take care of the dogs.

Meredith G.
“Meredith has taken care of my cat, Potato, on many occasions over the last 5 years. Potato is not friendly, or nice, and often waits at the door to hiss or bat her paws at anyone who isn't me. Despite this, Meredith has never shied away from caring for my spicy spud. As a cat owner herself, Meredith knows how to scoop a litter box, doesn't shy away from cleaning up stinky food, and is always sweet to my difficult kitty. I never worry about Potato when Meredith helps out. Highly recommend.”

Ian D.
“Ian was great! Our puppy Maya had a great time with him while we were away. Highly recommended for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
Federal Hill dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had such a great experience with Kimberly while we were away on vacation for four days this week. She took amazing care of our 10-month-old puppy, and we couldn’t be happier with the attention and love she gave her! Kimberly was punctual, dependable, and super communicative throughout. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos after each walk—it gave us total peace of mind knowing our pup was in such great hands. She clearly has a natural way with dogs, and our puppy warmed up to her right away. Coming home to a happy, well-exercised pup made all the difference. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker. We’ll definitely be booking her again! Thank you! The Rebello's
From the very first meeting, I knew my dog was in good hands. Sylvia showed up prepared, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes to make sure she understood my dog’s routine and quirks. That level of care really stood out to me. Since then, she’s been amazing—reliable, kind, and clearly someone who loves what she does. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited when Sylvia comes by. I feel really lucky to have found her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker who truly goes above and beyond!
Kenneth was an amazing dog walker for our dog! He was patient and kind to my sometimes timid dog. He was very flexible with our schedule and needs. Our dog Bear always got excited when Kenneth came for his daily walks! I would highly recommend Kenneth for any pet services.
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my two pups! Annie was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly adored my dogs. She followed all instructions perfectly and even sent updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. Highly recommend!
