“Was searching for a walker very last minute and I could not have been luckier to have been able to get Jake to care for my dog! I felt so secure and comfortable with him in his care and he was so responsive and kind, and I will surely be looking him up well in advance of my next trip so I have a good chance of being able to have him walk my little guy again! Thank you so very much, Jake!!!”
“Kayla is awesome! Right on time, followed our instructions, and great communication. She was also extremely forgiving that we forgot to turn off the house alarm before her arrival. Thanks Kayla!”
About: I'm an animal lover who's grown up with multiple family members who owned dogs and have had my own German Shepherd for years since puppyhood! Well versed in caring for, walking, and enjoying company of pets. I'm a college student currently working part-time and studying for the LSAT, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that can work well for you! My approach would be to try to provide structure to the animals while following the rules and preferences of the clients. I've found my own dog is the happiest when provided efficient stimulation, so I would want to provide that for any pets I was sitting.
“Loved Lisa’s personality. I appreciated her coming to meet with me and my doggies prior to the scheduled dog walk. Everything went smoothly. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Baylie was so great with our dogs! We have two Belgian malinois (one of which is a puppy), and she handled our very difficult breed so well! She walked them both every weekday for about a month and I can confidently say I would absolutely recommend her!! We will be calling Baylie up if our babies ever need more walks!! Big thanks to her!!”
“Thank you, Alyssa, for the great job you did taking care of our fury babies while we were on vacation. Bella and Winnie loved their daily walks and they hope to see you again in the future for more walks.”
About: I care for dogs of all ages—from puppies to seniors—with personalized, positive reinforcement training. Currently pursuing behavior modification certification, I have experience with obedience training (AKC Canine Good Citizen / Urban Canine Good Citizen), sports (Fast CAT, agility), trick training, scent work, reactivity, and separation anxiety. I also hold canine first aid training and am prepared for emergencies. Friendly, patient, and attentive, I provide tailored care to meet each dog’s unique needs. Dog Walks (Neighborhood - 30 & 60 min, Nearby Parks - 60 min) - Monday, Wednesday, Friday: AM, Midday, PM - Tuesday, Thursday: AM, Midday - Saturday, Sunday: AM, PM Drop-In Visits (Play-Time, Companionship, Lunches, Potty Breaks, Check-Ins) - Monday, Wednesday, Friday: AM, Midday, PM - Tuesday, Thursday: AM, Midday - Saturday, Sunday: AM, PM I can accommodate breakfast and dinner schedules, daily walks, and playtime based on their needs. Whether a structured routine—for training or specific needs—or a flexible schedule for house checks and companionship, I tailor care to fit each pet's routine and the pet parent’s preferences. For Rover clients, I provide in-home care by visiting the pet in their own environment. I prioritize understanding each dog’s routines, feeding needs, and training rules to ensure consistency and comfort. I typically work within the neighborhood or nearby parks for walks, but occasional off-site outings to parks or pet-friendly stores are available if suitable and agreed upon. As I am not currently offering boarding, all care is provided in the client's home, focusing on maintaining a familiar, safe, and enjoyable routine for each dog.
About: I offer peaceful, personalized care with plenty of space, love and attention for your pet. I have a 100-acre horse farm with an 80x120 indoor sand arena for all-weather play, two ponds and miles of scenic trails. I'm experienced with senior and blind dogs and comfortable administering medications. Caring for animals is my full-time passion. As an empty nester, your dog will be my top priority. I provide personalized care tailored to your dog's routine, ensuring they feel right at home. I have two friendly dogs who will help your pup feel right at home. With miles of trails, and an indoor play arena, there's plenty of exercise and adventure. But when it's time to relax, your dog can unwind on their own floor of the house with a cozy bed, a crate or a couch to lounge on or simply hang out with us. Whatever they prefer, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and loved.
About: I grew up in a household where caring for animals was our normal day to day from an early age. By age 4 I was helping my parents whelp puppies, and assisting with socialization and training. We always had a variety of pets that I absolutely loved. As an adult, my love for animals never ceased. I became a vegan in 2015, and in 2020 I received my board certification to become a behavior analyst. While I s yet to receive animal training certification, my strategies with applied behavior analysis have been successful in helping to train and understand my own animals. If you are new to my services, please use the discount link for $20 off! https://www.rover.com/sit/jordah11560 As a housewife, I have open availability. I take my children to school daily and then come home and start my routine with my animals. I spend most of my days outside with them, walking, or playing games. I'm sure that your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. When I'm caring for others' pets I make sure to follow the routines that the parents provide. If parents do not provide a routine I'll have your pet adapt to my own routine. If bathing services are needed those can be added at an extra cost. I'll spend time playing with your pet, training with them if requested, and ensuring that they feel safe.
About: Aside from being an pet parent and animal lover all my life I also worked as a dog bather which included not only baths, but also brushing, ear cleaning, nail trimming, nail grinding, as well as providing pets and belly rubs! I’ve taken care of cats and dogs all my life for my own pets as well as those of my friends, family’s, and neighbors. I'm also familiar with caring for fish, hamsters, and rabbits. I’m available every day except Wednesday afternoons and Friday afternoons/evenings, if you need something outside of those hours I’m happy to discuss it with you! Caring for your pets is what I’m here for! Whether they need a walk, food, water, litter box cleaner, someone to play with, or get some affectionate attention I’m here to provide. Should this be a situation I am happy to also bring mail or newspapers in as well as water plants and feed any fishes you may also be pet-parenting.
About: Hi there! Im Sarah, I’m a local graduate student with multiple years of experience dog walking and small animal care. Right now, I have two beautiful labs and a husky at home. I’ve walked large and small dogs extensively as a volunteer in local animal shelters as well, and am an experienced handler! I’m passionate about giving pets the attentive and loving care they deserve in a safe and playful environment. I have wide availability throughout the week. I can accommodate to any special needs your pet has regarding walk length/energy level.

About: I have taken care of an English mastiff for over 8 years, two bulldog puppies, and an Irish setter for several years of my life. I am available to watch pets over Christmas, as well as the week of march 10th. Lastly I get out of school starting may 5th, so I am available everyday after. My dogs are currently puppies so I am potty training them, training them to understand basic commands, and helping them learn social skills outside home
About: I have been fortunate enough to have both cats and dogs in my life since I was a child. I absolutely LOVE the different personalities and trying to figure out what makes each animal uniquely who they are. I have a knack for knowing and feeling exactly where your fury friend needs to be pet and loved on. I believe each pet has their own special needs and I'm determined to find what that is. I'm a quick learner and very patient. I am a mother of two daughters 24and 28, and a beautiful grandson that is 2.5. I have been a mom to 4 dogs and 6 cats in my life thus far. Hoping to add to my family as soon as I settle down. I’m currently in Annapolis, waiting for my second grandson to be born. I am retired, yet, currently studying to be a health and wellness coach. I am free most days and nights. In clients home, I would do as requested and make sure to stay on any timeline that’s necessary. It’s important that your pet/pets feel safe and loved.

Jenna N.
“Jenna is such an amazing pet parent for her own puppy. Ever since she got her dog she has recognized that no two dogs are the same. Meaning her previous dog was more laid back and accepted strangers but her current puppy is weary of strangers. She put time and effort into loving, training, and giving her puppy the time and energy she deserves for caring for her and making her comfortable in different situations. I trust jenna to care for my dogs because my dogs are happy around her and get excited to see her. Jenna treats my dogs as if they are her own and I can see it in how my dogs act after I get them back. Jenna has also helped her grandma care for the puppies that her grandma breeds. Overall jenna is a very responsible and loving pet caregiver.”
Maria M.
“I highly recommend Maria as a pet caregiver! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly loves animals. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or just spending quality time with pets, Maria treats every pet like her own. You can trust her to provide a safe, loving environment and to keep you updated every step of the way.”
