“Stephanie was amazing! Very professional, communicated well, and was overall very attentive with our boys. Our AC went out halfway through the week, and she helped us troubleshoot the problem from 3 states away. She also made sure to check on the cats and make sure the house wasn’t too hot without the AC. Overall, we had a great experience and we plan to book with her again for our next trips as well!!”
“We could not be happier with our experience with Shannan! She went above and beyond to care for our cat while we were away. Shannan accepted our booking within a week of our trip and we really appreciate her flexibility. She sent us updates everyday with photos and let us know how she was doing. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our cat made us feel at ease. We knew our cat would be in good hands within minutes of meeting Shannan. Super lucky to have found her!”
“Bridget is great with our dogs, she takes such good care of them! She was able to help us out on very short notice, and did a wonderful job taking care of all 4 of our dogs, and followed our instructions to the tee. Very quick to respond, and good with communicating during the check ins as well, we got lots of photos so we could see the dogs were doing well. A+ sitter, will be booking again!”
“Sarah went above and beyond during her drop in visits for Nunu! She left such detailed information that I had no worries about Nunu during my trip! Sarah also helped set up a new litter box for Nunu because she noticed Nunu had an accident outside her litter boxes, and she asked questions whenever she was unsure about anything. I highly recommend Sarah to take care of your cats!”
“Kelli was absolutely fantastic. She Thank took such good care of our kitty Eve for us and our fish Edgar & Jano. It was nice knowing our animals were being well cared for while we were away. We truly appreciate Kelli! Kelli has such a warm and welcoming vibe about her our kitty Eve took to her instantly. Kelli shared photos and videos with us everyday. We'll definitely be leaving a review and using Kelli in the future 😊”
“Having never used Rover, I was grateful that this first experience was a stress-free one. My regular sitter suddenly became unavailable, and I had four days to find a replacement. Mariah was a godsend to me. She was punctual and communicative. She quickly responded to every text I sent — and there were many. I give her and Rovers five-paw status. Thank you. 😍”
“Angela watched our two kitties while we were on a two week international trip and we couldn’t have had a better person taking care of them. She checked in every day with photos and answered all of my messages promptly! I felt that my babies were well taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about leaving them. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Elizabeth was amazing to work with. Incredibly professional, friendly and responsive. I felt so safe leaving her with my cat Shredder, especially given her background in pet care and veterinary medicine. Thank you so much for your grace and understanding during the past 2 weeks, it truly meant a lot to me. 100% would recommend to anyone in the area seeking pet care.”
About: I grew up fostering animals from the Humane Society of Harford County, caring for animals with the range of young puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. And, yes, I’ve “foster-failed” a few times, and have multiple cats and dogs of my own. A house isn’t a home without a fur baby. I am a middle-school teacher who currently has full availability now that summer vacation has begun. I’d love to fill my time off by caring for your four-legged friends! Fostering animals with a variety of backgrounds, training levels, capabilities, etc., has given me a lot of experience with creating a safe and happy environment.
“Ashley was a wonderful sitter! She tried to give Nunu her antibiotics, but unfortunately, Nunu wouldn't cooperate 😭 But nevertheless, Ashley kept trying and was very responsive on her attempts!”
About: I have always had dogs growing up since I was a baby. I have been around dogs all sizes from Shih Tzu’s to Saint Bernards. I have currently a pitty who is reactived and been doing class with him. If you need someone to walk, run, watch or play with your dog(s) look no further! I currently work at a before and after school program. Was the program director, but now just work pm shifts. I’m free any time in the morning all the way up to about 1pm and will be busy until about 7 I can’t house sit at my house unfortunately at the moment with currently living situation. I have a yard for my dog to run, outdoor tent for my cats to be outside, and two birds cages for one inside and one outside.
About: Big dogs, small dogs, long hair, short, barky dogs, nervous dogs, dogs that want to run, dogs that need to sniff every blade of grass . . . We enjoy spending time with all of them! I love the outdoors and I love dogs so I’m using dog walking/sitting as a way to get away from the daily grind. Thanks for letting me play! We have a 1-acre fenced in yard. Visiting pets will be closely monitored, and if necessary can be kept separate from our boxer, Tinkerbelle. However, Tink is friendly and loves to play so as long as your pup is up for it, so are we! For walking, if you suggest a particular route, I’d be glad to stick to it. Otherwise, I scope a route before I arrive and adjust based on the needs and preferences of your best friend.
About: Had dogs growing up, fell in love with them! Love to care for and connect with them. Dogs seem to trust me and treat me like an old friend. My family and I now have a cat that we absolutely adore (no dogs allowed in our apartment), but boy, do I miss dogs! Main carer for our cat, feed her, empty litter box. Spend time with her and connecting with her every day. She is a real joy, we all love her so Enjoy our neighbors’ dogs in a local park for a quick “love greeting” and pat on the head LOL Main care taker for our cat, Feed her, clean her litter. Spend time playing with her and connecting with her daily. She gives us joy
“Elena was great with my two cats. This was my first time leaving them with someone other than family to take care of them, and I was nervous because one is on an oral medication. Elena let me know each time she visited that the medication was taken and sent picture updates. My one stand-offish cat even warmed up to her and let her pet her, so that itself means a lot. I’ll definitely be hiring Elena in the future!”
