“You simply cannot go wrong with Tabitha. She communicated but most importantly she takes care of your pet like it’s her own. Highly recommend. Thank you again for another great week!”
“Carly was great! She helped me these past two days with walk my big man ghost, he is a English bulldog and she made sure to pay attention to his breathing and made sure to walk him only what he could handle. I definitely recommend her and will be reaching out in the future!”
“Tara was amazing! She stopped by our house twice a day to look after our dog and we got such detailed feedback after every walk. We also got awesome photos. She went above and beyond to set him up with his puzzle toy with treats and gave him lots of love. You can tell she really loves dogs! We’ve used rover many times and this has by far been our best experience. We’ll definitely be using Tara’s services again!”
“Teomie is great! My pup can be a lot but she handled her super well. She also did a great job keeping me updated with pictures and informative rover cards. I recommend Teomie and will use her again!”
“Mel is fantastic with Molly and Buz. She’s very flexible with my crazy schedule and ready to help with visiting family’s pets ranging from an American Lab to a couple of Boston Terriers. She also kept my plants going when I was unexpectedly out of town.”
“Raymond was AMAZING! 10 for 10! Highly recommend super cool guy who is attentive and active with dogs during walks. Wiped their feet down when coming back in the house, ensured they had food and water before leaving. Definitely will be booking again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hermit crabs, various aquarium fish, and plants to the best of the owner’s instructions and rules. For over 10 years, I simply enjoy being around intelligent loving creatures as I hope they liked me. I am looking to fill up my available time with more companions who are looking to get tons of belly rubs and head scratches (if they prefer of course). I am actively constantly taking care of my roommate’s dog as she is frequently traveling for work and personal reasons. I usually have him 2-3 weeks of a month, about half the year. If not, I drop in and feed/walk/scoop out my neighbor’s pet(s).
About: I've owned dogs since I was 12 years old, from puppies to a 16 year old which needed extra care. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and have a large fenced in yard. I'm able to walk dogs as requested and needed with no issues. I've watched friends and families' dogs when asked to. When you leave your dog(s) with me, they become a part of our family. I'm home each and every day. I have a dog of my own, a husky mix that is dog and people friendly. As long as I'm not away I'm available to care for your dog as if it was my own. I have a large fenced in yard and one dog, a husky mix, who is dog friendly and loves to play. She is crate trained herself but spends more time out of her crate than in it. My neighborhood also has plenty of sidewalks to walk dogs and as long as weather permits I go on at least one long walk per day with my dog.
“Alaina was wonderful with daily walks for our dog! Her communication was on point from the first meet and greet all the way through the little notes she left on the daily walk reports. Would definitely hire her again in the future!”
“Jaylynn was the absolute best - very kind and accommodating. She took very good care of our very active border collie while we were away; making sure he had enough exercise. She was very prompt and responsive. Highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to take great care of your pet!”
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: Experience working at a doggy day care as a contract worker and tons of life long experience with personal dogs. 5 years experience of looking after pets for others! I am fully home focusing for my June LSAT, so I have tons of time to give your pet all the attention they deserve! I am also an early bird so if your pet is at mine, we will get some fun morning yoga in and all the long walks for a healthy workout :) I have the same energy even when I come for just daily routine visits and more. My house is a family of four so tons of supervision! I make sure to almost always have pets in my sight when supervising for everyones safety. I make sure to follow every protocol listed by owner. Additionally, when dog boarding at my house, rest assure your fur baby will get all the loving as I have a younger sister whose responsible and loving energy attracts all the fur babies! So do not worry, your pet will have me, my sister and my house to relax and play at :)
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!
About: Working Knowledge of dogs behaviour; training life skills(preparing puppies for life, walking problems, fears); activities as chasing the ball, treat hunt, high jump, relaxation and more. Pet care typically fits into a daily routine by incorporating feeding times, dedicated playtime or exercise sessions, bathroom breaks (like walks for dogs), and brief moments of interaction throughout the day. Beginning and end a day with my pet: morning/evening walks, playtime, feeding. Our own routine: give everything dogs need to be happy while walking, and they can feel calm and satisfied at home.

She has taken care of my own dog for me at times and I am very pleased with the care that she provides. She is not only considerate of the pet but of the owners as well and will never leave a mess or mark. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
Jeremy S.Star Sitter
“Jeremy loves dogs. Plain and simple. When Jeremy and I started dating, one of the first stories he shared with me was about the dog he had growing up. He had so much love for Sweeper that he wrote an essay about him for his high school English class that he proudly saved as a memento. When we bought our house, the first thing he wanted was a dog. We loved Sugar for 16 sweet years, until she passed in 2024. We got Iris, our second dog, in 2020, and Jeremy is definitely her favorite human. They love taking walks and playing together. When it comes to taking care of dogs, Jeremy strikes the right balance between discipline and fun.”

“Paige has been great with my cats! She follows all of our (sometimes extra) instructions related to our two cats and communicates promptly with updates and photos when requested. She always spends the extra time playing with them before and after she feeds them, and they're always happy when we get home. I'm a little bit of an anxious pet owner, and I've never worried about leaving my cats with Paige. Fully recommend!”
