“i lost count of how many times my fur baby has been with nicole. she does an amazing job, from drop off to pick up. my baby is always taken care of by not just her, but the whole family. i wish i could gatekeep her, but others deserve her amazing hospitality as well!! smores always has a blast and she’s great for helicopter moms like me who like updates 24/7. i couldn’t recommend enough!”

“Alex did an amazing job with my boys! I could tell from their smiling faces that they were being loved and well taken care of. I received prompt updates and pictures of them having a good time. He definitely made my trip worry free! I look forward to booking him again! Thanks again!”

“Rey is a Dog Whisperer. This was Blue’s & Ruby’s first stay with him and they loved the companionship of all the other pups, big & small, who Rey has cooperatively and lovingly interacting. He sends a dozen photos each day to reassure you of their safety and contentment. On the worst stormy rainy day Rey said they all (about 10-13 boarders) went “dancing in the rain” utilizing a beautiful green rolling hill area. Rey is also a rescuer and provides a food pantry for those who can’t afford pet food. Rey is the best of Baltimore and needs to be recognized as an humanitarian institution.

“Liz is amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone and I was nervous but she made everything so easy. She took such great care of my dog that I think he misses her now. We will be booking again in a few weeks ☺️☺️☺️”

“Melissa was AMAZING with my dog. Cass is very shy, but her dog, Daisy, made the transition much easier. I appreciated that she sent me pictures of Cass daily and he looked so happy. Melissa was very understanding when I was caught in traffic on my way to her and allowed for it. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Took great care of my older dog. And my older dog has issues with food and people but regardless of those issues she still took great care of her and gave good updates.”

“Anna & Christian are absolutely wonderful! They took excellent care of my senior girl and sent updates twice a day. I’m so thankful to have found such great sitters and will be booking them again soon!”

“Shannon is great. She sent me pictures of Flopi twice a day. She also let me know if he was eating and if he was playful or shy with the other dogs.”

“Erin was totally a pleasure and kind person to work with. From scheduling a meet and greet with our Maxx a few weeks before to sending updates with pictures. We never once had to worry about my our baby Maxx while chilling on the beaches in Cancun, Mexico.”

“Lisa watched my two dogs over Christmas break and they were very happy and healthy when I picked them up. She sent several videos of them playing in her large fenced yard so I never had to worry while I was away.”

“Aida was a wonderful sitter and my dog had a great time with her! He enjoyed time spent in her large yard, many walks, and an overall comfortable stay. She shared frequent updates and pictures, and was happy to adapt to my dog’s routine and quirks. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy my trip, knowing my dog was in fabulous care.”

“Karla is the best and my dog is in love! Karla took excellent care of my pup while I was traveling...which allowed me to relax and just enjoy my vacation. She sent so many cute pictures and videos of their adventures and of his epic naps. I already booked Karla for my next trip and Frank cannot WAIT to hang out with her again.”

About: I am a natural caretaker and love caring for pets of my own and my friends and family. I have cared for pets for most of my life and am excited to offer my services to pet owners. As of October 2026, I have completed over 250 rover bookings, and am excited to keep caring for animals in my community! I have two cats who are the best of friends, and are all play and affection. I also help my family care for their dog Isabella, a 7 year old terrier/lab mix who loves going on long walks with me and throwing the ball in the yard. She had a partner until recently named Chico, a greyhound/lab mix, who was full of affection and had some arthritis in his back legs that required extra care. My mom is handicapped so I supported her in getting him extra equipment, driving him to and from the vet, and exercising him regularly within his movement range. Before this, I cared for our family dog, a yellow lab named Lilly, from middle school through high school and college. I help a roommate of mine with her cat Lela, a talkative and sassy lady who started coming into my room for morning cuddles and talks. We also had two cats when I was young, Precious and Cokey, who tolerated me smothering them with love in the way kids do. I currently work remotely most of the week with a lot of flexibility, and am committed some weekend nights to event management work. My schedule allows for decent flexibility which is helpful for daytime care or weekend trips. I own my home and am happy to host pets at my house that can get along well with cats. I have two cats at home who are pretty comfortable with dogs as long as they get along well with cats.
“Julia was wonderful with Nellie! She was communicative, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Nellie in her care. Nellie seemed happy and well cared for when I picked her up, and it was clear she had a great stay. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Nellie was in good hands. I would definitely book with Julia again!”

“This was my first time boarding my 3 month old puppy and I'm glad I could do it with Lady. She was very friendly, and fell in love with Goose right at the meet and greet. She texted pictures every morning and was very prompt and friendly with my inquiries about him and his stay. She was a great sitter and I'd definitely utilize her again! Thank you, Lady!”

“My dog and I love Kyra! She was responsive, kind and eager to meet all of my dog’s needs! He came home tired and happier than ever! Can’t wait to book her again!”

“Joe and Alex were awesome! They took great care of our dog and gave him so much exercise and fun! They were very responsible and responsive; they clearly love dogs and are wonderful caretakers. 100% would recommend and use them again!”

“Never boarded a pet before, but I left my Xander there and they treated him wonderfully! He even got a cat tree to play on, which I don’t even have! Highly recommend!”


“I can’t say enough positive things about Keiwana and her family. They took great care of our Coco. Lots of attention and social connection, which was important for us. They provided updates and pictures to reassure us that she was being well taken care of. Very responsive to questions. They maintained a schedule our dog is familiar with. Plenty of walks, time outdoors and adequate feedings. We will definitely board with Keiwana and her family again.”

Sophia is absolutely amazing! I loved all of the pictures and updates that we received about Charlie while we were away! He was truly loved and snuggled while we were on vacation! Sophia has amazing communication- I highly highly recommend her to care for your pet while you’re away!

As always, Ashley is incredible with our girls and they always seem very relaxed and not stressed when we pick them up, their medical needs are always met, we get updates and never feel stressed about them being well taken care of. 5/5 every time! Thank you for watching and loving our gals so well

Shannon was amazing! Would recommend her 10 times out of 10. Our pup absolutely loved staying with her and clearly felt so at home and relaxed in Shannon’s care (not the norm for our pup who can be anxious in new settings!). Shannon was so great at keeping us up to date with photos and updates on how things were going. We will definitely be having our dog stay with her again soon!

Chelsea did a PHENOMENAL job taking care of our Lany this weekend at Chelsea’s home. She’s punctual, very communicative, and treated Lany as if she was her own. She was thorough and asked all the right questions during the meet and greet, and we appreciated the frequent updates and pictures throughout the weekend. Lany looked like she was right at home when we picked her up! We whole-heartedly recommend Chelsea for your dog care needs.

Nicole was wonderful! We needed someone last minute to watch our 4 month old puppy for the day and overnight, and Nicole responded fast and answered all my questions. She sent updates with photos that let me know my pup was having a great time. Highly recommend her for all your puppy needs!

Mari was an exceptional caretaker for Woodson. She went above and beyond to accomodate some anxiety induced retention, taking him on six/seven walks a day until he did his biz. Updates with photos to help reduce my separation anxiety, and so conveniently located for Amtrak travel. Highly Reccomend!

I had such a great experience with Theo. They were incredibly accommodating and made everything so easy. When I needed to extend my dog’s stay unexpectedly, they were more than happy to work with me. Which was such a huge help and really showed how thoughtful and flexible they were. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands, and I really appreciated how understanding they were throughout the stay. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and accommodating sitter.
This was Eugene's first time staying with Aida and she took excellent care of him while I was on a trip. She was very interested in his care and asked questions which showed me that she was invested in being a good sitter to him for the duration of his stay. She was very responsive and easy to coordinate drop off and pick up times with - a huge plus when you're rushing around packing and preparing for a trip. She sent daily photos without me having to ask or remind her, which meant a lot to me because I always miss him when I'm away, as well as updates about his health and behavior (i.e. if he was itching more than usual). Though he can be a bit of a handful, Eugene seemed very comfortable with Aida, which is also a plus as he can be somewhat anxious. Overall, I was very happy with the care Aida provided Eugene and would definitely book again!
