“Erica took such amazing care of our dog! He can be very scared and timid at first but she was patient with him and he warmed up so quickly to her! She sent us updates all throughout our vacation and we felt at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We would absolutely use Erica for other trips and vacations!”
“Asia was great with our house and animals. We could tell by the way our dog acts when she see Asia that they are friends. Our requests were taken care of and our house was the way it was when we left it in her hands. We highly recommend her.”
“Caleb was wonderful! He took great care of our dog Sully. He even stopped by the day before to get to know him. Caleb was incredibly attentive, caring, and responsible. Sully was so happy that he did zoomies! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry friends. We are looking forward to hiring Caleb again.”
“My dog decided to be difficult the day that Kathleen was pet sitting for us. She would not let her leash her, but Kathleen was consistent and gained her trust and was eventually able to leash her. Kathleen was wonderful with my dogs and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of pet medical experience, pet care, cat rescue, and TNR work. I have volunteered at Animal Rescue, Inc, walking dogs and caring for cats. I also volunteered for feral cat spay/neuter clinics. For over 20 years I have provided complex daily care, including medical needs, for my personal pets. This, and petsitting, have previously been accomplished during full time employment as a veterinary technician at veterinary hospitals. I have provided petsitting many times in owners' homes in the past. I can also pick up mail, water plants, close curtains, turn lights on and off, etc.
“Great communication from the start, sent pictures and updates every day and helped to take care of a couple household chores while staying in our home. Would definitely use her again!”
“Lauren was so sweet and took great care of our Harvey! He was a little crazy when she first arrived, and she was so patient with him. We're looking forward to having her take care of him again in a few weeks!”
About: I have three pets at home, 2 dogs and a cat, and I've also done care for my neighbors. I can deal with high and low energy pets, and while most of my experience is with mid-large sized dogs, I'm cool with anything small or large. Currently a student at Towson University. I don't have any other responsibilities this summer, so my schedule is currently pretty free and I can do most times. I can play in any way your dogs want, take care of their needs on schedule (grooming included), or just relax with them if that's what they want. I am prepared to dedicate myself to the happiness and safety of the dogs in my care.
“Such a compassionate Petsitter that treats the animals like a pet nanny! The animals loved her. To boot, I had recently gotten an equine that had bloodwork come back the day before our trip which necessitated special treatment. She handled it like a pro and my girl took to her right away. Would highly recommend even at the peril of having her booked up when we might like to have her sit for us.”
“We booked Katie to stay with our girl for our 9 day vacation June 18th. She was great, gave us updates everyday with pictures. She responses very quickly . She made us feel very comfortable being away. I would highly recommend her. Katie is the best!”
About: Since 2014, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and pawsonalities — from shy kittens to spicy dogs, plus chickens, bunnies, and even a hermit crab. 🐶🐱🐔🐰🐟 Fostering over 200 pets has made me fluent in body language (pet edition). Whether your pet wants snuggles, space, or serious playtime, I tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’m comfortable giving medications and teaching basic obedience. I also make the experience great for you! I’m a reliable communicator, send plenty of cute pics, and if your pet’s up for it, you’ll come home to a handmade surprise “from your pet.” Pet care fits naturally into my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt as needed. I am able to care for about a dozen pets per week and I only book one house-sitting family at a time to ensure each pet gets my full attention. Walks and drop-ins can easily be added into my day, especially Monday through Friday. Pet care is both relaxing and rewarding for me — I love building relationships with the pets I visit, and I think they look forward to our time together just as much as I do! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, starting by learning their pet’s established routine to ensure they feel comfy and happy. I gather all the important info — like vet contacts, emergency numbers, and where cleaning supplies live (just in case!). I’m a tidy sitter too: I take out the trash and scoop up any yard “presents” to keep things fresh. Most importantly, I listen closely to both owner and pet to discover what makes each furry friend feel safe and loved, then tailor my care to their unique personality.
About: I have 1 dog and four cats, a few years of pet sitting experience, and even worked as a kennel tech at a dog kennel before. I’m currently in the process of finding a part-time or full-time job since I’m taking a break from college, but pet sitting on the side would give me a good opportunity to not only earn money but to give me a purpose and do something I’ve always loved to do: caring for and helping animals (and helping their owners out too!) Like I mentioned, I have several pets at home so I can easily do things like taking dogs outside to go to the bathroom and on walks, feeding them, clean up after them (I especially clean litter boxes a lot), and I can even stay with them as long as they need if they don’t do well being alone for long periods of time.
“Louis was amazing with my fur babies! They were well cared for, comforted when upset by loud noises, and happy hanging out with him. Louis even worked his magic to get our shy sheltie to accept him right away!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a child. I currently have a boxer and a mini poodle who I love even though they’re a handful, and I’ve had cats in the past! My parents left the responsibility up to me to take care of them so I have experience with cleaning, feeding, grooming, and more when it comes to cats and dogs! I’m a college student with random free time in my schedule during the week so a quick pet sit or walk would work perfectly for me! I can feed the proper dosage of food to the pet, take them on a walk and play with them when asked and even clean them. I can administer medicine if necessary as long as the owner properly demonstrates and explains what’s needed!
About: I grew up on a small farm. I currently have four cats and I am experienced in taking care of litter pans, feeding and providing love to cats. I currently also have two dogs. I love spending time with animals and I love walking so this new adventure seems like a great fit for my lifestyle. I currently work part time as a Dental Hygienist so I am available to be there for your pets needs. I am experienced to do this because I have 4 cats and two dogs that mean everything to me! I am a very trustworthy and detail oriented. I take pride in having a strong work ethic. I treat animals with the utmost respect and kindness realizing that each pet has a unique personality just like humans.
About: I have had cats and a dog that I made sure were well taken care of. I love taking care of animals whether mine or other people's. I work in the mornings until 12pm and have off in the afternoon, so I will have time in the afternoon and evenings to take care of other people's animals I have several leashes to use to walk dogs and I have gates and crates that I can block of certain areas of the house to make sure they are safe.
“It was clear upon meeting Alex that she loves dogs. She provided updates during my trip and left the house in great shape. Dogs seemed well upon my return. Hoping to use her again in the future”

“Jenn is an amazing dog walker and has been caring for our dogs for almost 10 years. She has been with them since the first puppy and even helped us rescue the third. Jenn has leash walked and let them out in the yard. She sends the most amazing pictures of the dogs when she visits and keeps us updated of anything she notices. The dogs absolutely love seeing her weekly because they get super excited and happy when she comes and they are very particular about people. Jenn recently has stayed with the dogs for multiple vacations to house/dog sit. There really is too many good things to recount over the time she has cared for them over almost 10 years.”

Gatchellville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alexandra was outstanding!!! She took care of our varied pack of cats and dogs ages 1yr-14yrs while we were away. One of our cats takes meds every other day. I felt very assured our fur babies were well care fur while we were on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
This was our first experience with Rover.com, and honestly, we were a bit anxious about entrusting our dogs and home to a stranger. However, Alex turned out to be fantastic! Our male rottweiler can be quite a handful, but we felt at ease with Alex because she’s a vet tech. Her expertise made it clear she knew how to manage dogs with various temperaments. Everything went smoothly on her end. She kept us updated during our trip, which really put our minds at rest. When we returned, the house was spotless; she even washed the bed sheets and towels she used. Alex treated our dogs and home like they were her own. We highly recommend her services and will definitely book with her again!
