“We have had Nikki watch our two cats a couple of times now, and we have no intention of looking for anyone else. Nikki is loved by the cats, and always gets one of our cats his meds (no matter how stubborn he is). Nikki is nothing short of awesome”


“Although I ended up having to cancel my trip so Ashley/Olivia didn’t end up doing the drop in visits, Olivia was great at the drop-in visit I scheduled before our trip! My chinchillas took to her immediately. Gus, our fiestiest boy, happily accepted cheek scritches from her and another one of my chins even let her pick him up :) That says a lot about how she interacts with animals because as prey animals, trust doesn’t come easily to chinchillas. She also asked a lot of important questions about their care which I appreciated. She was super responsive and flexible about when I came to pick up my key from her. I would feel at ease with her taking care of my pets the next time I need care for them!”


“Tara was awesome. She sent pics and updates. And when I returned, I could tell my cat enjoyed spending time with Tara. He was happy and relaxed and not upset at all that I had been gone. I will definitely book Tara again on future trips.”


“Carly did a great job with my kitties she gave them love and Also brought his son even more love she fed my kitties and also clean the litter . They also had a great play time with them thanks a lot !!!”


“Mel was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties while we were away and helped us keep an eye on a potential house issue as well. Was quick to respond and a pleasure to work with. Will definitely be booking her again!”


“Laurie and Jim were wonderful. They took plenty of time at the meet and greet to get to know our cats, and their updates were thorough and thoughtful. I felt so comfortable having them take care of our girls while we were out of town!”



“Samuel was really laid back in our visit and Pudge our pug puppy seemed really happy in the pictures he sent. I left him a note with any changes and he addressed all the changes. We really appreciate his flexibility, ability to take care of active puppy, and his prices! Definitely rebooking!”


“Kaitlin did a phenomenal job with our furry ones. Great communication, did everything the way asked and even did little things to make sure we knew everything was being taken care of. From the check in photos to seeing how our doggos were treating her we knew she was taking wonderful care of them. 100% recommended and will definitely come back to her the next time we might need anything.”


“Lorena was AMAZING! She is so sweet and really cares about your pets. She got to know them and was really good about keeping me up to date and checking in. This is my first time using rover and I’m so glad I was able to book Lorena. Highly recommend!”


About: Growing up on a farm, care for dogs, cats, and other beloved animals is second nature. I was raised caring for the farm, worked in a dog kennel, have rescued two cats, and have dog sat, cat sat, and house sat for many friends over the years. I help my family with their three large dogs and my sister with her pitmix rescue, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I love cats. I work in the Hanover area, and my schedule allows for flexible mornings, a break in the afternoon, and available evenings. I am able to reliably care for pets in the morning and evenings and ensure a midday bathroom break Monday-Friday. I am available closer to Severna Park on weekends. I think quality time is imperative for our pets, so I make sure that they have plenty of time with me when their owners are away and prioritize their playtime and enrichment. For dogs, this means walks, playing with toys, or just hanging out (whatever your best friend prefers)! For cats, I reasonably lean in to their zoomies when they arise to help work off any energy, and then give them their space when they need it. I understand that everyone has different philosophies and concerns regarding their pets' care, and I make sure that my care matches the guidelines you have for your pet so their routine and care stays consistent even while you are away.

About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors since I was about 9 years old. I have been responsible for feeding, bathing, walking their pets & administering medication when necessary. I have experience training dogs at various ages & a wide range of breeds. I have training experience including but not limited to, crate training, potty training, leash training, etc. I have taken care of dogs as small as Shih Tzus to as large as Rottweilers, so I am comfortable around dogs of various sizes. I was the primary care taker for our family's' 2 senior dogs; being sure to give them around the clock access to the bathroom as well as being punctual with any and all medications. My pet care experience is not limited to dogs alone I have cared for cats for friends & family for 4 years. Feeding, playing, changing/cleaning litter & administering medication when needed. I adore all animals and ensuring your pet is loved, safe, and cared for is my top priority. I work 8am-5pm in Elkridge, MD. I have plenty of evening and early morning availability. Depending on location, I am available during lunch breaks for any midday walks/feedings. I want to ensure the pets comfort is the priority. Keeping their routine and providing a loving space while their family is away. Both cats and dogs of any age need ample amount of exercise & affection; even the most independent of animals!
