Pet Sitting Gibson Island

“Justine was awesome! She cared for my English bulldog while I was away on vacation. She walked him multiple times a day, even in the rainy/snowing weather. I received a detailed report card each day and pictures as well. I will definitely be using her again and I have recommended her to multiple people already. I was so hesitant being my first time using rover, but it was an awesome experience.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover, a mom, and someone who genuinely enjoys taking care of animals. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life, so I understand that they aren’t “just pets”… they’re family. ❤️ I’m offering drop-in visits and general pet care for people who need a little extra help keeping their furry family members happy, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away or busy. During a visit, I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, attention and cuddles, litter box or other pet-area cleanup, medication if needed, and general tidying up after your pet. I’m also happy to follow your normal routines and instructions because I know every animal has their own little quirks and preferences. My goal is simple: you should be able to leave your home knowing your pets are being cared for by someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. I’m a mom trying to build a little extra income while helping other pet parents at the same time. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your animals, and I’ll treat that responsibility seriously. I’m not afraid of the less glamorous parts of pet care either. Messes happen. I’ll clean up after your pets and leave their space the way I’d want someone to leave mine. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, some playtime and affection, a fresh litter box, or simply someone to make sure everything is okay, I’d love to help. 🐾 I work full-time and also have a part-time job, so my regular availability is primarily evenings and weekends. That said, I understand that pets don’t always operate on a convenient schedule! I’m happy to work with you to make time for drop-in visits when needed, including checking in, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, and giving your pets the attention and care they need. My goal is to be dependable and flexible while working around my schedule. Pet safety is always my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routines carefully, while paying close attention to their behavior, surroundings, food, water, and overall well-being. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, and I’ll never take unnecessary chances with your pet’s safety. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away.

“Our cats felt very comfortable with Michael, and so did we! He's reliable, kind, and respectful of animals, and also very intuitive with them. Their personalities are very different, but he gave Bagheera plenty of active play and made friends with the very shy Laska. We highly recommend Michael and will use him again. Great Rover cards, by the way!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was around 11 years old and I had a cat when I was little. I absolutely adore animals and believe they deserve the absolute best care. I currently have a full time job but am free every day after 5:30. I will happily take care of your fur baby in the morning before work, on my hour lunch break, and after work. Fully available every other Saturday (after 1:30 on the others) and every Sunday. I make sure my dog is properly fed throughout the day and always has clean water. I take him outside every few hours to use the bathroom and so he can run around and play in the fresh air.

About: I'm so in love with all types of animals! I've use to go on house sitting jobs with a close friend which led to me falling in love with the job! Just bonding with the dog or cat by feeding, bathing and snuggling really makes my heart warm! My schedule is flexible outside of animal care I'm a freelance artist. I don't get extremely busy and most of the artistic things can be done from home. I prefer house sitting at the dogs/cats original home so they don't feel out of place. When walking the dogs I will find the safest/peaceful route to a nearby park with other animals so they will be able to play with others or just enjoy themselves. I always carry a care bag for each pet that consists of first aid, water, poop bags, and etc. most importantly I will listen to your pet and use the routines you have set in place. pets have no problem expressing how they feel or what they would want to do for the day.

About: I love all kinds of animals!! I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I used to walk my neighbors dogs all throughout high school and college. I treat every animal I take care of as my own dog, with lots of care and love!!! I have undergone a routine of caring for my own dog, with walking multiple times a day, playing with a bunch of toys, and making her entertained. I am open to caring for other pets and giving them the love I give my own dog. I work in the restaurant business so I have a good amount of free time! I love reaching out to owners when I am watching your dog. I will send lots of updates, photos, and everything in between while you're away!! After years of taking care of pets, I have come to understand that every animal is different and needs their own routine and care!

About: Hi everyone! I’m a vet tech by day and have been in for about 7 years. I love all fur babies and would love to meet your babies. I’m currently working at a veterinary radiation clinic in Annapolis. I have worked at an Emergency Room for animals in Columbia. I do work from 8am to 1pm but am sometime off early. I will take care of your babies as if they were my own. I understand that our fur babies mean a lot to us and that they are family.

About: I’ve always been drawn to animals and getting to be around them is such a blessing. I’ve been around all sorts of animals growing up having: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and even sharks at one point! I’ve always taken pride in caring for these pets and making sure they’re enjoying life and being taken care of properly. I just recently graduated from college and have a lot of free time. I am available all day, every day, and would love to spend my time with your furry friends! I am able to attend to any needs that the animals provider may ask and will happily and joyfully take care of your fur babies!

About: I truly adore cats and their unique personalities. I'm a retired empty nester, who is flexible, attentive, patient, affectionate, and I believe great cat care includes a fresh, spotless litter box every day. Your cat will get plenty of love, attention, and a comfortable environment giving you a peace of mind while you're away. Being retired gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pets, providing attentive, dependable care without rushing or juggling another job. Whether in my home or yours, I follow each pet's normal routine, providing plenty of love, attention, exercise, fresh water, clean spaces, play time and personalized care.

“Jusskayy is a sweetheart! She accommodated me on short notice without a prior meet and greet and I am sooo thankful. She asked all the right questions prior to arrival and it was wonderful. Made me think of things I totally forgot to inform her about. She went over, spend time with my pup and left everything just as she got it. She is a definite top 5 on my sitters to use again!”

“Rachel was super reliable and took great care of my cat! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso for 14 years and became her primary caretaker during her senior years, giving me firsthand experience caring for an older pup and adapting to her changing needs. I’ve also fostered both dogs and cats, including a Schnauzer/Poodle mix and a young cat with medical needs. While fostering, I’ve administered medication, supported recovery, and adapted enrichment activities to keep pets comfortable and engaged throughout different stages of healing. I also have volunteer experience caring for cats and understand the importance of reading an animal’s body language and respecting their boundaries. I’m happy to give an outgoing pet plenty of attention and affection, but I’m equally comfortable giving a shy or cautious pet the space and patience they need to feel safe around me. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, as well as cats, puppies, and senior pets. Above all, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine as much as possible, including their normal feeding, potty, walking, playtime, and medication schedules. I want pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own space, so I follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s established routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to body language, respect boundaries, and never force interaction with a pet who needs some space or time to warm up. I’ll keep their environment clean and tidy, make sure they have fresh food and water as instructed, and provide walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or quiet company based on what they enjoy. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed.

About: Before joining Rover I mainly provided my services through word of mouth. I have experience with providing basic medical care for dogs and cats, and training experience including potty training and easing separation anxiety. I have vast experience and knowledge on various breeds and their specific needs, and really just love being able to have the time and availability to be able to provide these services. They say a dog is a man’s best friend, but in my case, a dog has always been a woman’s best friend! I offer dog sitting, walking, training and boarding at my home as well. I am brand new to the app but I do have plenty of references and want to make all owners feel just as comfortable as I want to ensure their pets will feel with me! I currently work a part-time job from my home, so I have a flexible schedule and able to meet any needs your pet has. I am available everyday, all hours mainly, and can accommodate you and your pets schedule! In my home all pets are welcome. I have plenty of walking trails and a back yard for pets that stay at my home. I typically will customize the walks, food, bathing etc depending on the needs of the pet and what works best for them and the owner.

“I am so grateful for Deara! She is prompt, professional, and flexible. She even cleaned up a little mess one of my cats left, asking for cleaning supplies. Thank you!”

“My pup had to have surgery and it’s a long recovery but Chris has been so helpful to be there and gave Kobe his meds everyday as needed. Chris always does a great job with adjusting to my schedule! Thank you Chris - Kobe and Michelle”

About: Hi! My first gift as a baby was a white german shepherd named Pepper that I grew up with and I've been a dog owner ever since. Friends even brought me a stray found on campus at GWU, Wiggles. He was our house mascot. And I've owned and cared for dogs ever since. I started rescuing dogs in 2010 in Oakland. I found forever homes for 13 dogs. Your dog will be safe, made comfortable and well cared for by me. I'm happy to care for senior dogs or puppies and anyone in between. I am attentive. Responsive to them and focused to obey your instructions concerning your fur baby. I want them to be happy while you're away and I want you to be comfortable while they're in my care. Most of all, if anything happens, I know how to respond quickly. My 12yo Weimaraner Gideon passed away during the pandemic. I've been fostering. This just seems like another way for me to play with and care for a new dog until I get another one. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I'm a professional writer and program developer so my schedule is flexible which makes caring for your dog and its needs really easy. I am able to maintain whatever schedule you've established at home. Your pet will have full run of the house and will be encouraged to make themselves at home. Their crate and food/water will be set up in places where they can be seen and made comfortable.

“Shawnna took great care of our kitty during our trip. She was very conscientious, communicative and left our home very tidy. We would love to have check in on our sweet girl again!”
