“Elizabeth was a great communicator and I felt safe leaving her with my cats. We were worried about our boy needing medication while we were gone and she was wonderful and got it done with no issues.”
“We have a 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy and a 5 year old Lab. The dogs loved Mariah! She did a fantastic job taking care of the puppy and being very respectful of our house. The dogs seemed happy and refreshed. I would recommend Mariah to anyone!”

About: I grew up on a farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Recently moved here from Delaware. I rode horses most of my life and have experience dealing with a wide variety of farm animals. I grew up with labs, my parents bred them, and I have been taking care of puppies since I was 8! I currently have a 2 and a half year old Red Fox Lab named Luna. I got her at 8 weeks old, and have trained her to be off leash and all her commands. She has seizures, so I have experience in giving oral meds. I have puppy experience, with house breaking them, crate training and understand how puppies need more time and attention. I also have a cat, a stray I took in so I have experience with cats as well. I am available for drop-ins and walks, and overnight care in your home, bonus points if I can bring Luna but not necessary. Luna loves other dogs (and people). I am very flexible as I work from home full time and am looking for a little extra income, and to meet new furry friends! I have an SUV, and have experience driving dogs around, I also have a cat carrier if need be. I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule. I am adaptable, and available in short notice. I am a runner and am very active in general. In your home, I am respectful to your space and try to keep the dogs normal every routine as close as I can. I am very clean, and will stick to your dogs schedule. It can be nerve wracking when their people are away, so I will try to make them as comfortable as possible while maintaining a clean, and safe, environment. I will pick up after the dog in the yard as well, and take them for walks!
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs our whole lives. From Alaskan Malamutes to Shih Tzus and everything in between :) We have a fenced in yard that we let our pup out every 2 hours or so, we both are home everyday and will treat your animals like our own! I am on leave from work and my husband works remotely so we are home pretty much all day! Caring for other animals fits in perfectly with our lifestyle. We care for other animals the way we would want our own treated. Lots of space for them to move and play. We have a fenced in yard with sun and shady spots with lots of grass and dog toys!
“Victoria did an excellent job checking in on my 2 cats twice daily and making sure they had food and attention. My cats are skittish around strangers and rarely socialize with new people, but Victoria did a great job of reaching out and talking to them to let them know they weren't alone and even got 1 to come out and play with his favorite toy a few times! I appreciate that she was thorough and did a great job communicating how each visit went while I was away.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for family and friends for 15 years. Growing up I was never fortunate enough to have a dog or a cat due to our busy family schedule. I have always had a love for cats and dogs, once I got older along with babysitting and being a nanny I started pet care services for friends and family. In 2020 my sister got her first puppy and due to her work travel I was a constant puppy provider for the first two years of Leo’s life potty training and puppy care. Now I have brought my love to rover to be a pet provider and I look forward to working with you! I do work a full time job from 8:30-5pm but weekends and evenings and early mornings I am free and more than happy to help with any pet care assistance I can provide. I am all about creating a safe and happy environment for your pets. I love providing quality time and appropriate pet care services such as walks, medicine, baths. I also provide the service of in home care if a family or individual needs to go away for work or vacation I can offer human company staying at a clients home to any pet in need. I also provide special requests or care situations as long as they are discussed and directed properly between me and the pet owner.
“Maya was amazing. Jumped into a last minute need for our pup. Left us a wonderful note and amazing pics of our Boy. It’s obvious that she loved and cared for our pup like her own.”

About: I have taken care of family/friends dogs and cats for walking and feeding as well as needed car rides to the park! I have watched hamsters as well. I am a teacher in my neighborhood so it is easy to get to local houses right after school for walks. My daughter is away at college during the school year and have many weekends free.

“Jo did an excellent job taking care of our two Boston Terriers!”
“Elena was wonderful and very communicative!”
About: While I’m newer to professional pet care (3 years), I’ve spent lots of time walking and caring for dogs for friends and family. I’m dependable, gentle, and always make sure pets feel safe and happy. I’m especially good with routines and following care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I may be newer, but I’m passionate about animals and committed to giving every dog the attention and love they deserve. As a part-time worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to have consisted time frames to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals, and taking care of pets fits naturally into my routine—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it’s a walk before work or a check-in visit after, I always make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on time, regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I also keep the space tidy and provide updates to the owner for peace of mind, when needed. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe, cozy environment and stick to their usual schedule as much as possible. Whether in their home or mine, I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own.
“This was Connor's first visit with our girls Kiwi and Rio. He was on time, followed protocols and communicated promptly. Very happy about all 3 of those things! We have scheduled another visit soon.”
“Always punctuate and keeps you updated with pictures constantly! You can always rely on Bob!”
About: Over the past 7 years, I’ve fostered nearly 70 dogs through a nonprofit rescue—ranging from young puppies to senior dogs with special dietary needs. I also have some hands-on experience from a short-term vet assistant role and grew up learning from my mother, a former vet tech of over a decade. These experiences taught me how to read canine body language, support pets with anxiety, and provide structured, compassionate care. While I don’t handle aggressive dogs or advanced medical needs, I’m confident with daily routines, medication, and helping animals feel safe, calm, and loved in their own home. I’m currently not working outside of pet care, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available 7 days a week for dedicated, full-time attention. Pet care is my top priority right now, and I structure my day around each dog’s individual needs—whether that means regular walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. I treat every dog as if they were my own—safety and trust come first. During walks and check-ins, I always follow your instructions closely, keep dogs securely leashed, and monitor their behavior and surroundings at all times. When house-sitting, I maintain a calm, consistent environment that mirrors your pet’s normal routine. I respect your home as much as I respect your dog, keeping things clean, secure, and stress-free while you're away. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, loved, and understood in their own space.

“For as long as I have known Miranda, I have found her to be a compassionate, patient, level-headed, and reliable person in all aspects of her life. She loves animals and takes phenomenal care of hers and others’. When I was in a car accident and needed someone to care for my dog, I immediately called Miranda. With no-notice, she took over care of my dog and met all of her needs, above and beyond! My dog doesn’t take quickly to people, but Miranda helped her feel safe and confident right away, and that speaks volumes to how great she is with pets. I highly recommend Miranda to provide the best care for your pets.”
