House Sitting Govans

“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.”

“Channing was great! Excellent communication, always punctual, and took amazing care of my beautiful pity pup. I’ll definitely be booking her again! Thank you!”

Parson P.

“Great care for our little rescue guy. My dog instantly took to her. Eileen house sat and dog sat and was beyond responsible for both. We would 100 % call her when needed. She went out of hr way and I knew my guy was safe and happy.”

Jack B.

“We had to leave our dog Birdo for two weeks and we were so nervous, but Aleya did an amazing job taking care of our girl and the house! Even though we were in and out of signal, Aleya sent us consistent updates and photos every single day, kept up with our dog’s medication, and even took care of our plants. When we got home, everything was clean and Birdo seemed extremely happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Aleya again to take care of our dog if we need to go out of town!”

Adam P.

“Simply amazing. Went above and beyond in caring for our pets. Photos, videos, updates and all with a dose of love. The top of our list from now on!”

“Jasmine was able to housesit and take care of my dog and cat on relatively short notice and did a tremendous job! She asked all the relevant questions I hadn't necessarily thought about during the meet and greet and made sure I was fully aware of any of her other obligations during the stay and made sure my pets were completely taken care of. She sent lots of photos, videos, and updates which provided me solid peace of mind. She even brought up small things I hadn't thought about such as checking the mail and making sure the trash was taken out, and even took the time to feed some of the stray cats that like to come around to hang out and ask for food. I came home to two very happy and healthy animals and can't recommend Jasmine enough.”

“Emily did a great job with dogsitting/house sitting. Our dogs are young and have a lot of energy. Emily's intuitive and professional knowledge as a prior vet tech was great! I would highly recommend Emily.”

Pamela B.

“Jeff was great. He came by twice before the weekend trip to make sure we were all on the same page and that he was comfortable with our 4 year old Weimaraner. We’ve already rebooked for our next trip and the addition of a puppy!”

Greg Nick B.

“Emily took such good care of my two senior dogs. Very kind and patient, and also left my house in great condition after house-sitting. I would definitely recommend and will contact for sitting in the future. Thanks, Emily!”

“Madeline cared for my dogs wonderfully and was extremely communicative. I will definitely be working with her in the future”

“Gervon in a tremendous Dogsitter. He was communicative, kind, and attentive. He accommodated the medical needs of our pets, too. He even cleaned the sheets before he left! We highly recommend Gervon.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a proud cat parent to my own cat, I know how much peace of mind matters when you have to leave your furry family members behind. While I'm new to the Rover platform, pet care is second nature to me—back in college, I regularly helped my classmates with pet sitting, looking after both dogs and cats. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat needs some gentle loving attention, I treat every pet with the exact same care and devotion I give my own. Because I work remotely and part-time from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I am basically free and can easily find time for your pet any day or any time. Whether it's a mid-day walk or constant companionship, we can easily figure out a routine that works best for you and your pet! Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Whether I am dropping in for pet sitting or taking your dog out for an engaging walk, I treat every pet with the utmost care and respect. As an experienced cat owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to respect an animal's boundaries, safety needs, and home environment. You can count on me for clear communication, reliable updates, and treating your home and pets like my own.

“Amanda was amazing, super friendly, responsive. I felt like my baby was left in great hands. She treated my dog like she was her own and I couldn’t appreciate that enough. Definitely will be booking with her again.”

About: I have an 11 year old senior dog who I’ve trained in eating, using the bathroom, tricks, and other manners since he was born. I’m known to my family and close friends as the pet-obsessed girl, who says hi to every animal I pass on the street. By picking me as your animal’s caretaker, your picking a complete animal-lover who will love your pets just as much as you do❤️ As a college athlete, I often take walks around my neighborhood on my own for leisurely time. I’d be over the moon happy to have a companion to take these walks with, or even take them to the park to get some play time together! Along with loving animals, I also would describe myself as being a pretty clean and organized person. However you leave your home is how I will leave it for you when you return.

“Rebecca was awesome! She took great care of my dog and was super responsive to requests. We recently moved apartments and she was flexible with resolving issues in the new place and helped coordinate giving a key to a new roommate. I returned home to a happy and well cared for pup.”

“Naya is a repeat house sitter for my big silly pit mix and my elderly cat. She does an incredible job of following all instructions and balancing the needs of my dog and senior cat. We trust Naya!”

Rachel C.

“Nico was very communicative, responsible, and kind while taking care of our old dog who has some special care instructions. He sent many pictures of their walks and we knew that our dog was getting really great care. I highly recommend Nico and will be booking again in the future.”

About: My name is Sophia and I am a lover of all animals and a full time exclusive pet caregiver for over 10 years in the Baltimore region. It is truly my passion to provide exceptional and personalized one-on-one pet care for families in an era where kennels, boarding facilities, and multi-client sitters have left many owners traumatized and feeling hopeless in their options. I understand that leaving a piece of family behind whether it be for vacation or work is always difficult, my goal is to be a safe haven of comfort for families- providing the peace and ease of always knowing your pet is safe and will be cared for as if they were my own whilst in my home. Through a safe and comforting environment where they do not share space with other animals, dedicated & loving hands on care, detailed in-depth updates and plenty of cute photos of their day to day, I am here to be your pets favorite secondary home when they can’t accompany your travels😊 I am currently studying to obtain certificates in IV Companion Animal Services as well as Dog Training, I also volunteer regularly at my local SPCA & take in rescues on fostering basis which has provided me in-depth knowledge of animal behaviors and their needs for all breeds and ages. With how long I’ve been a pet caregiver I’ve really experienced it all at this point in terms of temperaments, behaviors, breeds, and quirks, which means I am equip to handle it all! I have extensive experience with different medical conditions so I am fully trained to facilitate and fulfill specific medical regimes including administering shots, giving oral pills, or applying ointments/eyedrops as needed. I am also certified through American Red Cross Dog and Cat First Aid Training to provide CPR and first aid in emergency critical situations with a full service Pet First Aid Kit in home. I specialize in reactive/anxious dogs and am recognized for having immense success in mitigating behavioral concerns whilst in my care. Covid pups who are still finding their way, rescues who have histories of abuse, the quirky ones who have a disdain of other humans/dogs/kids, and our separation anxiety worrywarts- I am trained and experienced with all of these behaviors and am able to understand their needs and provide calm and peace with ease. I have years of experience and extensive knowledge of dogs who have specific hygiene needs because of breeding impairment (flat faced/short nosed breeds) and have the experience to maintain strict hygiene needs such as wiping of paw pads, tear ducts, and facial folds and trained in their possible health complications/signs of risk. I am also specialized in providing senior and end of life care for the golden years providing a peaceful secondary home in times of need. Many of these precious pups are in need of strict medical regimes, potty incontinence outings or diaper changing, movement limitations, and feeding assistance- all of which I am fully trained for and able to provide in any frequency or diligence needed or requested. I also have lots of experience with puppies and high energy dogs providing essential mental and physical enrichment through regular structured routines and movement, sensory exploration, and foraging games and stimulation as allowed by owner. My lifestyle and petsitting full time really allows me to be flexible to any regime or care routine needed for each individual pet as well as if you have any specific questions or accommodations needed for care please don’t hesitate to reach out to further discuss! I’ve been a sitter for years and one thing I’ve gotten really good at is balancing my own personal schedule with providing the best care possible. Currently pet sitting is my full time job so I am home almost 24/7 happy to provide all the care and attention your furry friend needs! In my home your pets comfort is my top priority. I live in a beautiful 3 bedroom apartment in Pen Lucy in a very lush and family oriented/dog neighborhood so there’s lots of grass all around and I have all the space inside to accommodate! With this to note though I do live on the second floor and there’s two flights of steps your dog would have to be able to go up/down on so wanted to note this for my seniors or pups with bad hips or knees. I allow them on all of my furniture, the only limit to this is my bedroom at night as my cats are territorial to this and like to sleep in bed with me. I have an array of toys all around the house they are welcome to as well as have bowls and bags and such but always appreciate when those items are provided and they are welcomed as they remind them of home and is great way to get them cozy in a new space. I also have lots of beds, blankets, and cozy spots for them to snuggle up in as no furniture is off limits! I am great with independent animals that just want to keep to themselves as well as our separation anxiety babies who need that extra boost of loving and stick to your side like glue and do my best to cater to what your animal needs at any given moment. I send lots of detailed updates and photos and videos as well with my goal being to provide the most peace of mind as if you never left them at all. Inside client's home for house sitting I will adhere to all rules laid out by the owner whilst respecting the home and maintaining the same level of care. Although I will note I do not accept any house sitting requests where I am not allowed to leave the property as I have my own animals at home and would have to leave occasionally to take care of them from time to time.

“We left our year old dog in the capable hands of Dan for nine days. He stayed in our house and took such a good care of our dog and our home. We will definitely book Dan for any future trips!”

“She was able to work with my skittish dog to get him out on walks and otherwise take care of him while I was out on a trip.”
