“Erica was wonderful! Our sitter had to cancel last minute and we had to find someone to take care of Koda. Erica responded right away and was able to come let Koda outside within an hour or so of sending the request. Koda loved her! Would definitely have Erica take care of her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 8. I’ve had guinea pigs, dogs, and a rabbit. My family currently has one rabbit, Thumper. He is the best! We also have three wonderful dogs…two English cream golden retrievers, Remi and Raven, and a spunky beagle named Snoopy! I was a teacher for 24 years and now I worked in a school library for the past 4 years. I’m trying to make some extra money on the side. I started doing some dog walking/sitting during the summer of ‘25 and have truly enjoyed it! I love being outside and taking walks with the pups or just playing with them inside! I’ve also taken care of cats too. I love spending time with animals! I’m available after 4 p.m. and at night too, during the school year. On the weekends, my schedule is very flexible. Since I work for the school system, my schedule is much more open in the summer time, if you need any help! I can take your dog for a walk, so they can get some exercise. I can also stay and play with your pet! Happy to send pictures and updates too!
“Aria was on time and communicated quickly and efficiently for both the meet & greet and her first drop in visit with my 7mo puppy. She provided a detailed update at the end of visit and included some of my new favorite photos of my dog! She’s easy to coordinate with and I’ll definitely be booking recurring visits :)”

About: Hi! My name is Julia, and I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have owned both dogs and cats since I was a child, so caring for pets has always been a natural and important part of my life. I have several years of experience with dog sitting and house sitting, and I understand how important it is to know your pets and home are in caring, trustworthy hands. I love all pets and enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away. I am dependable, attentive, and respectful of each family’s home and pet care preferences. I would be happy to care for your furry family member and give them the same love and attention I would give my own pets! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I enjoy having pets as part of my routine, whether that means starting the day with a walk, stopping by for a midday visit, or spending quiet time with a cat who just wants company nearby. I’m dependable and flexible, and I understand that pets do best when their normal schedule is followed as closely as possible. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs, whether they need extra attention, medication reminders, playtime, or just someone calm and caring to keep them company while their family is away. I care for pets with patience, respect, and attention to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications or special needs, favorite toys, and any house rules. I know pets feel safest when things stay familiar, so I do my best to keep their routine calm and consistent while their family is away. I also treat every home with care and respect. I make sure doors are locked, food and water are refreshed, litter boxes or pet areas are kept clean, and pets are safe before I leave. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and personality, whether they are playful, shy, energetic, independent, or need a little extra reassurance. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and for owners to feel confident knowing their pets and home are in trustworthy hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Havre de Grace
Emily was fantastic! Her daily write-ups were amazing, she went above and beyond when it came to the service she provided, and ultimately, she ensured our cats were happy and healthy while we were away! We could be more pleased with her. Thanks for everything, Emily!
Theresa was amazing. While I was out of the country for ten days she came by each day and not only cared for my cat Salem but took the time to give him so pets and snuggles allowing him to warm up to her. She gave me daily updates with pictures and was easy to communicate with. I will be using her in the future as well!
Excellent care, compassion, dedication, dependability, observant, and very friendly, that’s Samantha. She took care of our 17+ year old cat for a full week while we out of state. We didn’t have to worry about anything. Samantha provided great communications, kept us informed daily on everything, from feeding, litter-box, cat behavior, etc, and sent daily photos. Samantha took care of everything and questioned anything that might be of a concern to us. For example, with all the rain, we had some very tiny ants finding their way in for shelter, but went to the cat food. We probably wouldn’t have noticed, but Samantha did. She quickly notified us, emptied, cleaned and washed water and food bowls, plus the tray underneath, then refilled them fresh and relocated a few feet away. Continued by washing that floor area, and put a Terro ant bait trap (pet friendly) that we had at that location. Sent photos of everything being done, and rechecked all was well on next visit and gave us updates. Samantha is very conscientious and observant with great communications. We always knew what was going on, and knew if any issue came up, she would react quickly and take care of it. Made our trip pleasant knowing we didn’t have to worry about anything. Very pleased with Samantha’s efforts and dedication in providing the best care. Highly recommend her, plus our cat found her very likable too. He normally hides from others, but not with Samantha. Location wise, Samantha lives in Bulle Rock, our same community, so it was like having a dependable close friendly pet care professional next door. We will definitely use her again.
Angela was amazing with my fur baby from beginning to end. She communicated, sent pictures and messages. I can tell she truly cares for animals and was also flexible when I needed to extend last minute due to travel delays. Im so glad I found her and will definitely use again!
My doggies were in love with Erica! She provided so many photos, and I could tell they were having the times of their lives with her! I would trust her with the care of my pets anytime! Highly recommend! She also cleaned up the messes when my Woody was very persistent and creative with escaping his crate 😂
