“Owen is reliable, kind and trustworthy. He shows up, gives my dog a good walk regardless of the weather, and responds quickly. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a walker.”
About: I enjoy dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. As a pet owner I understand the desire to provide the best for them and the anxiety of worrying about them when I can't be with them. I am gentle with anxious, scared, or elderly pets. I am full of energy for pets that need exercise. I can come to your home before work, during lunch, and after work. My work schedule is flexible and can be adjusted based on your pet's needs. At my home I walk my dog every morning in the woods and in the neighborhood in the afternoon and evening. My pets keep me company while I work. I can work from your home with reliable wifi.
About: I’ve cared for pets for over 14 years, including my own and those of clients, friends, and family. As a professional organizer and mom, I bring structure, empathy, and reliability to every pet I care for. I’m especially attentive to routines, safety, and emotional wellbeing—whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior cat. I manage my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks, feedings, drop‑ins, boarding, extended stays, house sitting and any other combination that suit your scheduling needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or staying in yours, I prioritize consistency, communication, and routine so your pet feels safe and loved. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and I tailor my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. In my home, I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who enjoy company. If your dog is shy or reactive, that’s no problem — I have experience with all temperaments and can keep pets separate when needed. My home is clean, organized, and set up for comfort. I follow feeding and medication instructions precisely and keep pet parents updated with daily photos and messages. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I maintain your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer and treat your space with the same respect and care I give my own. I’m comfortable with multi‑dog households, anxious or storm‑sensitive pets, and dogs who need extra reassurance or structure. I keep your home tidy, manage small household tasks, and ensure your pet feels secure while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Ashley — a dedicated and dependable animal lover with over 25 years of experience as a professional, a homeowner and pet caregiver. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home and life with dogs, cats, and even rabbits, and I understand just how important it is to know your pets and home are in safe, capable hands while you’re away. What I Offer: 🐾 Experienced Pet Care – From energetic pups and senior dogs to independent cats and cuddly bunnies, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets with various personalities and needs. I’m confident with administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and providing lots of love and attention tailored to each animal. 🏡 Reliable Home Stewardship – As a long-time homeowner myself, I know how to care for a home with the same respect and responsibility as my own. Whether it’s bringing in the mail, watering plants, or keeping things tidy and secure, you can travel with total peace of mind. 💬 Clear Communication – I believe trust is built through communication. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages, photos, or videos of your pets, so you’ll never feel far from home. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. My roommate, Holly, and I tag team boarding, pet walking or house sitting jobs depending on our availability. We have a fenced in yard with lots of space to run and sniff! We also live very close to a local park and walking trails. Your pet is like family when at our house, we have 3 high schoolers and 1 preschooler!
“Jasmine was very kind and patient with my greyhound who has anxiety. She was very professional, communicative, and flexible while we were out on vacation. Would definitely hire her again!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life! Growing up my family had dogs, chickens, cats. Currently we have 2 beagles and a black cat named Izzy! My other family members began asking me to watch their animals when they went away on trips or to stop by the house if they were stuck at work. This branched to them recommending me to their friends and now here we are! I have been watching the furry loved ones of others for about 4-5 years now and have loved every second of it. I know how scary it can be to leave behind the animals that you consider your children so I am here to make that process a little easier! I’ve taken care of puppies, dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, and horses. All animals deserved to be spoiled and loved by all 💛 I am currently a therapist that works mostly afternoon/evening hours. My daytime availability ranges day to day but getting to create my own schedule allows for flexibility! Owners know their pets best! Any information provided to me about your furry friend will be implemented so that all parties feel safe and well cared for!
About: Hi everyone! I’m a vet tech by day and have been in for about 7 years. I love all fur babies and would love to meet your babies. I’m currently working at a veterinary radiation clinic in Annapolis. I have worked at an Emergency Room for animals in Columbia. I do work from 8am to 1pm but am sometime off early. I will take care of your babies as if they were my own. I understand that our fur babies mean a lot to us and that they are family.
“Rachel was excellent with our senior dog (Bentley). She took on the assignment at the very last minute due to our original Walker coming down with an illness. Ulthough a last minute request, Rachel came over the night before to make sure she met Bentley and to introduce herself to us. We explained our walking and feeding processes to her, and she was very accepting to the routine. While we were on our trip, Rachel sent us numerous pictures of Bentley either at home or on his walk. She kept us well updated on his activities. Unfortunately, while we were gone, he did have some accidents in the house, and Rachel cleaned them up and took care of making sure that everything was disposed to properly and that the rags used to clean up the mess were washed. Wonderful customer service. We would not hesitate to use Rachel again, as well as recommend her to any of our friends.”
“First day meeting my two crazy pups! Our Yorkie is quite hyper and Sabine handled her well in this first encounter and took her on a solid 30 minute walk. Our Chihuahua is much calmer and stand offish around strangers and she enjoyed Sabine’s gentle nature. We look forward to having Sabine return.”
“Heather was fantastic, responsible, punctual, and clearly great with dogs. Chance warmed up to her right away, and I appreciated the updates and photos. I will definitely book her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Courtney — a true dog lover, experienced pet caregiver, and someone who treats every pet like family. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, couch snuggles, or just a calm and reassuring presence, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. For house sitting, my standard rate includes typical care such as feeding, walks/potty breaks, companionship, overnight care, and lots of love. If your pet requires additional support — including senior care, medication administration, frequent potty breaks (every few hours), mobility assistance, separation anxiety management, or near-constant supervision — please let me know before booking, as these higher-needs situations may require custom pricing to ensure I can provide the level of care your pet deserves. Please be as detailed as possible about your pet’s routine, behaviors, and care needs so I can make sure we’re the right fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!
“Highly recommend Ryan! He took the time to do a meet and greet and really understand my dog’s specific needs. He was very communicative and flexible whenever any changes came up, which I truly appreciated. What stood out most was how he followed my dog’s training routines and even used the exact phrases we’ve been working on. He handled my dog’s reactivity with care and confidence, and it made a huge difference. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands!”
About: I have watched dogs and cats for the past 2 years. I’ve always loved animals and bonding with them! I love dog walking and playing with dogs outside to make them happy. I am very good with caring for dogs and making them feel loved! I am not working another job but I do have practice most nights during the week. However, during the day I will always be around unless I am at the gym or running an errand! I have a fenced yard and 2 very friendly dogs. I take them out every 3 hours and keep a routine schedule of when to feed them. Any dog is able to sleep in my room and bed if they would like.
About: I have 2 years of pet sitting experience. I have cared for up to 7 pets at once, including both cats and dogs. Owners would rely on me for feeding, walking, and playing.

I am always respectful of the clients home, making sure to clean up after myself and the pets. I always stay alert and pay attention to the pets needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herald Harbor
Jacob was absolutely wonderful! We have two Belgian Malinois, which are definitely not the easiest dogs to care for, but Jacob knew exactly how to handle them and understood everything we asked of him. We really hate putting our dogs in boarding facilities, so finding someone we could trust and who understood how much our dogs mean to us was extremely important. Jacob was always on time, communicated with us throughout our trip, and has such a wonderful, energetic personality—which was perfect for our dogs! They were very well cared for, and knowing they were in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We usually don’t leave reviews, but Jacob truly deserves one. He was an amazing pet sitter, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone responsible, caring, reliable, and great with high-energy dogs. We will definitely be using him again! 🐾❤️🐊🐶❤️🐶🐊🐾
Aidan took wonderful care of our foster, Tango, who had just recently gotten neutered. I was nervous about leaving him, but after a meet and greet with Aidan, I knew he was in great hands. They were very respectful of the notes I left and were attuned to Tango's needs in his vulnerable state. Their calm and grounding energy was just what Tango needed during his recovery. I would highly recommend Aidan to anyone who is looking for a thoughtful, kind, and reliable person to care for their pets.
Sam has been so sweet and loving with our boy Charlie from the moment they met. He’s been super protective of the pack since we got a new family member but she was able to convince him to leave the house and walk farther than any other dog walkers have. Highly recommend Sam!
