House Sitting Harwood

“Lida is a gem! She kept my kitty, Shelly, happy and well taken care of. I enjoyed the photos of Shelly, which gave me peace of mind. The house was in perfect order and as clean as a whistle. We will definitely bod again with Lida, given her availability once people find out what s treasure she is!”

“Kayla was an amazing sitter for Asja during my time away! I am very particular about my dog and can normally gauge from the meet and greet if the sitter is a good fit. The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for almost a week and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my Asja. I highly recommend Kayla and plan to use her for future sittings.”

“Imani did a wonderful job looking after Tommy and keeping an eye on our home. Kept us abreast of all the happenings and provided images of our pup going about his day.”

“Patrick was great at taking care of our dogs and home. Our dogs were clearly well taken care of, and a great bonus that he takes better photos than we ever have of our dogs. Our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left it. Very grateful for him.”

Casey H.

“Leticia was wonderful with our two large dogs! She was punctual, communicative, followed all directions, and took good care of the house too. We’re looking forward to having her watch our dogs more in the future!”

“I would highly recommend Trishia for in house sitting, she was terrific while tending to all our cats and dogs. She let us know when she would be arriving at the start of the visit and also when she was leaving at the end of the visit. Each day she sent pictures of all the animals and let us know how they were eating and playing at both breakfast and dinner. We could tell from the pictures that the animals were relaxed and going about their daily routines as normal. Upon our return we found the house was very clean, much cleaner than we had left it. This was very welcoming and much appreciated. In summary, I give Trishia very high marks.”

Kathleen D.

“Megan took such great care of our dog. She provided updates and sent pictures while we were away. Our dog loved her too! Megan responded quickly & helped us out when we needed last minute help. Thank you, Megan!”

Emily L.

“Annette did great with Patterson! She was very professional, proactive, and kept us updated. Everything was in great shape when we returned. We look forward to working with her again!”

About: Since I was young I was entrusted with the keys to several of my neighbors homes and took care of dogs, cats, and even fish. I have owned serveral dogs in my lifetime and enjoy taking care of cats as well as other pets! I understand that every pet is different and many have very specific needs, therefore, I am prepared to receive instruction and tailor my care to each pet accordingly to make sure everyone stays happy and healthy. I currently walk dogs and overnight sit for my neighbors and friends but would love to branch out these services for others as well! I currently do not have a full time job, I have an odd job schedule that would always prioritize your pets care above all else. i care for your home as if it is my own!, I am able to water the garden if requested, and i always take the trash out as i leave to assure you come back to a fresh smelling home. doors remain locked when i am not present on the premises, animals will not be left outside unsupervised.

About: Well with 10+ years of veterinary experience, I’m comfortable caring for cats with special needs and medications, anxiety, medical conditions, and unique personalities with patience. Veterinary care is a big part of my daily life. I work as a veterinary technician, so caring for animals, monitoring their needs, and keeping them comfortable is already part of my routine. I provide loving, attentive care in my home or yours, following routines and medications, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and special instructions while keeping pets comfortable.

“Alison & Brian were great with Penny! The meet and greet went really well, and I felt at ease leaving her with them. They took great care of her, sent picture updates, and made sure she was happy and comfortable the whole time. By the second night, Penny was so comfortable that she was running around in full zoomies mode! 😂 It was clear she felt right at home with them. I would absolutely recommend Alison & Brian and would happily book with them again!”

“Dee is amazing! She’s always on time, very sweet, and respectful to me, my pup, and my house! It’s a huge relief to have someone I trust and someone who my dog loves to watch him. I’m especially grateful because my dog is high anxiety and she was patient as he got familiar with her through meet and greets before she watched him for the weekend. My pup loves her and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: Hi guys! My name is Emily, I’m a 27 year old who loves animals. I really like to read, go to concerts with my friends, and spend time with my family. I’ve been house sitting and pup sitting for over 10 years now. My availability is very open at the moment considering I’m doing school virtually. Please feel free to contact me anytime for all of your dog, cat, fish, bird, turtle, hamster, cow, horse, etc needs! I also have a huge vegetable/flower garden so have plenty of experience with that if necessary. Look forward to hearing from you! I currently am working part time and doing school virtually so I have a very flexible schedule that would allow me plenty of time to help care for your babies! I’ve had 10 plus years experience with pet sitting so have had to handle many different situations that have made me a better sitter. I’m prepared for anything and love these pets as my own!

“Oh Myles! He is the absolute sweetest! He took care of my babies this weekend and was more than accommodating. Our girl is Leary of newer people and barked and growled at him when he entered our home. He took his time and didn’t give up and they became best buds. He was very respectful of our home and focused on the dogs to make them feel comfortable the entire time. Myles is the ONLY sitter who will watch my dogs when we travel. Welcome to the family!!”

About: All my life I have loved animals. I greet the pet before the human most times lol. Having had a family dog majority of my life, and now seeing all my siblings have their own pets (dogs & cats), I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to watch your pet, because pets are family! It brings me so much joy to spend time with animals and be able to provide them a safe space to play, explore, eat, sleep, and be loved on! Animals want to feel comfortable and safe just like humans do, and I am joining Rover so I can help provide this type of care for more loving pet owners 😊 If your dog stays with me we will: go on a minimum of 2 15-30 minute walks, have plenty of play time inside and outside, and be cuddled up on the couch enjoying each other's love. I will also send you plenty of pics with updates of how our time together is going! I want to give your pet the best experience while you are away so they feel okay with the unavoidable time apart. Let me rid you of pet parent anxiety & guilt. Trust that with me, your pet with be safe and have a great time 😊 I work remotely, so I have flexibility between the hours of 7am to 7pm to: pick up or drop off a pet, let a dog out to use the bathroom and get some fresh air, take a dog out on multiple walks and socialize them if their parent wants/allows that, be in the home whenever the pet wants attention and love, stimulate their brain by playing with them, and feed it breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I want to ensure a pet gets the most out of their day! I have been caring for animals most of my life, and I care for them as if they are my own pets. I make sure their needs (food, water, bed/sleeping area) are easily accessible and that I am available to them whenever they need. I have a fenced in yard and communal courtyard, making bathroom breaks and outdoor playtime/exploration easy! I also have an open living room and a long hallway making indoor playtime fun and doable! And I have windows that look out onto the street and nature to keep their mind busy on those days the weather isn't the best (and they may not want to be outside). When on walks, I am alert and ensure they are always close to me and in safe situations. I know all the safe foods & medicines cats and dogs can have, as well as the unsafe foods & meds, which I make sure are put away and/out of reach for the animal. I know when to be stern in my tone of voice to discipline a dog when necessary (e.g. out on a walk and they are pulling or I need to get their attention, if they have gotten into something that they shouldn't have, etc.). I want to always make sure the pet is safe from harm when with me. They are like children to me, and I will do anything to protect a child! In addition to ensuring the pets safety, I love to snuggle and give pets all throughout the day, providing the pet with lots of love and comfort. Making them happy makes me happy!

About: I grew up with cats and have always loved animals. When I moved to Maryland in 2023, I volunteered with Montgomery County as an animal foster and transport volunteer. In my current work as a senior caregiver, I also regularly care for clients’ dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to provide caring, dependable attention to pets and their families. I currently work during the week, so my availability is primarily on weekends. I would love the opportunity to spend that time caring for pets and giving them plenty of love, attention, and companionship while their families are away. Unfortunately I am not allowed to have any pets in my current rental home, so I am limited to only caring for the animals in their own homes.

About: I can adapt to a pet’s mood/temperament and do the upmost to remain mindful of all their needs! I grew up helping my dad raise and breed beagles and I have cared for pets over 20 years whether they were my own or owned by family. I joined in 2024 when I lived in Kansas City, MO but ended up having zero time! So now that I’m back in Maryland, I’m ready to assist pets and their owners! 🩷 I am in school full-time so am mostly available on Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. Very occasionally, I can be available for pet care weekday evenings. I do not board pets as one of my cats is very anxious so I will have to go to client’s home to pet sit. Nevertheless, I will triple check that everything is in place and doors are locked prior to leaving a client’s home. For walking, I will triple check that leashes/harnesses are secure and I do not listen to music so I can be 100% aware of my surroundings and the needs of furbabies.

About: Experienced, Compassionate, I provide exceptional care for your furry friends. With 8 years of dedicated experience for Siberian huskies and Golden doodles. I bring a wealth of breed-specific knowledge and expertise to deliver unparalleled care for your beloved pets. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine as I am currently pursuing my MBA online, granting me the flexibility to be available throughout the week. With a structured schedule and ample free time, I can dedicate my undivided attention to ensuring the well-being and happiness of your fury companions, making them an integral part of my daily life. Whether caring for pets in my own home or in the comfort of the clients residence, safety remains my utmost priority. I maintain a secure environment, adhering to strict safety protocols, such as pet- proofing spaces, utilizing secure enclosures and closely monitoring interactions.
