“Brittany is very professional and loved my kitty kat Tucker even though he is terrified of strangers and wouldn't visit with her when she dropped in during the vacation week! She did everything needed for Tucker to be on his own and we would have her back with no hesitation - Thanx Brittany!”

About: Hey there! I am a graduate student studying education, and I’m currently working for the local school system and in the process to become a full time teacher. I grew up with and around all types of animals my entire life. I am in tune to learning their personalities and what they each need and like to make them the happiest they can be! I no longer have pets (due to old age), but for many years I had two bengal cats who needed lots of attention and activity. Chloe is the kitty in the car photo with me. :) I am experienced around elderly cats and dogs, and frequently have delivered mediation to both dogs and cats of all ages. I am very active and outdoorsy, so active pets who need a lot of exercise are no problem. I also have experience around other animal breeds. I lived with family who owned large and small birds, horses, and chickens. And I grew up owning various reptiles. My schedule follows Frederick County Public School’s schedule. I work from 7am - 2:30pm weekdays. And I am off from work (other than teacher work days) on the same schedule students are off. I will take careful attention to the specific needs of your pet and their preferences and routine. This will vary depending on the pet and the owners preferences! My animals at home have a set schedule for feeding and daily walks and play! They sleep with me and do homework with me from school.
“Ximena is wonderful! She gave us plenty of support and advice as we transitioned to becoming dog owners in December 2025! Our dog Daisy loved Ximena from the very first time she met her! Ximena is very intuitive with a dog or pet’s needs. She always used positive reinforcement to guide Daisy in commands. She is always patient, gentle and kind with animals. She even gave Daisy a gift when she had moved farther away. Honestly we were so devastated that Ximena would not be able to walk Daisy anymore. We have had other dog walkers but no one as consistent and sweet as Ximena. She always sends lots of photos and detailed messages about the walks. We wish she could still be walking Daisy! We highly recommend Ximena if you need care for your pet!”

About: I’ve been dogsitting throughout highschool while juggling sports, other jobs, AP classes and my own furry friends. I am able to set a goal and see it through whether it be training your puppy, playing with your cat or walking your fur babies daily. I have had experience with several different types of cats and dogs, including a huge German Shepard, 5 cats at a time and a very spoilt (with love) puppy. I am free during the weekends, and free for half of the day during the week. My senior year schedule allows me to leave school at around 11:30, giving me the rest of the day to answer to any pet needs. I intend to care for pets are their clients homes only mostly because I know these animals will feel safer and more relaxed in their own homes. I can and will care for them however directed in any way that makes them feel loved
About: I’ve mainly taken care of my own, and close family cats and dogs, but in the recent year or two I’ve helped my friend who uses rover walk dogs. I currently have full availability, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings, recurring schedules, weekends, holidays, and extended stays. I'm flexible, dependable, and committed to providing reliable, attentive care whenever your pet needs me. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and maintain a calm, secure environment. My sister has a cat who is not comfortable around unfamiliar cats, so I am unable to host cats in my home. However, I am happy to provide care for dogs or care for cats in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I will always follow your pet's routine, provide regular updates, and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own.
About: In highschool I earned a certificate course completer in pre-vet, and competed in the statewide Future Farmers of America (FFA) competition. While there I learned how to properly administer oral, otic, ophthalmic, and injected medications. I truly love and care for every animal I meet! I always try to make them as comfortable as possible by recognizing their body language and tending to their needs. I've owned two cats for over 13 years and have owned several other kinds of pets like fish, freshwater snails, and leopard geckos too! I will be going into college late august, so I have all the time in the world to take care of any animal during this summer! While in a client's home I will try to clean up any mess a pet will leave behind and try to make the animal feel as safe as they possibly can. As a cat owner I have enough patience to move mountains when pets act out and will remove them from any situation they feel stressed or fearful in.
About: I've had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally. I currently share my home with Jill, my sweet 11-year-old mixed-breed dog. She's medium-sized, very friendly, and enjoys meeting other dogs. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I'll make sure yours feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pets are welcome on the furniture and even on the bed if that's what they're used to at home. Since I'm home throughout the day, I can provide plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks—even as often as every hour if needed—and lots of playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I'll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet like family and make your time away as stress-free as possible. I'm home throughout the day, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care for your pet. Whether you book boarding, daycare, walks, or drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet gets lots of love, playtime, exercise, and frequent potty breaks—even as often as every hour if needed. I have a flexible schedule and can easily accommodate your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home where pets are treated like family. While I don't have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is closely supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on a leash. I have a friendly 11-year-old mixed-breed dog named Jill who enjoys the company of other dogs. Since I'm home throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), crate training, and furniture preferences. If your dog enjoys social play and you approve, we're also just minutes from a local dog park for extra exercise. I'll also send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: Hi, I’m Giovanni. I'm a dependable beginner dog walker and pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. While I'm just getting started professionally, I am responsible, patient, and committed to giving every pet the care, attention, and kindness they deserve. I’m currently working a full time job so my availability is anytime before 4pm from Tuesday to Saturday. My availability for Sunday-Monday is anytime, open availability. I would like to have a conversation with the specific client to see what their needs and comfort level. Every client is different so understanding my client is best to meet their expectations.

About: Hi!! I’m Tatiana and I’m here to take the best care of your pet! I love all sorts of animals, big and small, mighty and shy. I am reliable, have my own car, and am free 95% of the time! I am currently unemployed and looking for extra ways to make income. I am available practically all of the time. I am not picky! Taking care of animals is part of who I am. My cat, Mila, can testify! Unfortunately I am unable to bring pets into my house, but I am more than willing to provide my exceptional services at your comfy home! I have experience with many animals!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love them. I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter since I was 10 where I specialized in puppies and adult dogs. I moved to Frederick recently and am looking to get my spend time with your dog until I get my own. Fun fact I also had guinea pigs growing up! I work from home and am usually available during the day to take care of your dog. I am available during the day, mornings, and evenings. I have experience with dogs with anxiety and medication needs. I have experience crating and potty training dogs as well. I did leash training with dog while I volunteered at the shelter.
“Thank you Dominika for all you do for Goldie! He is very happy when he has spent time with you! We also thank you for all the details and extras you take care of for us when we are away! You are amazing! L Kilgallen”

About: Hi, I’m Eileen. I provide gentle, attentive care for small dogs, with a focus on safety, routine, and a calm home environment. My availability is primarily weekends, holidays, and selected weekday evenings, which allows me to give each dog steady, unhurried attention. I tailor care to each pup’s personality, whether that means relaxed walks, light play, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their routine familiar and reassuring. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep bowls and rest areas clean, and send thoughtful updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease. Because I have resident cats, I’m best suited for cat-savvy small dogs. I approach introductions slowly, supervise carefully, and can keep spaces separate when needed. My style is warm, detail-oriented, and intentionally limited in volume, so each dog receives the same thoughtful care I would want for my own pets. 🕰️ Schedule I work a full-time 9–5 role during weekdays, and I thoughtfully plan my pet care visits around that schedule to ensure each visit is calm, unhurried, and consistent. On weekdays, I offer evening drop-in visits, which tend to be a natural and comforting time for most cats, which is quiet, predictable, and aligned with their evening routines. On weekends and holidays, I’m available between 10am–5pm, with more flexibility to match your cat’s preferred schedule. At home, I care for my own five cats every day, so multi-cat routines, different personalities, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment are already part of my daily life. When I visit your home, I bring that same level of attentiveness—never rushed, always respectful of your cat’s pace and space. I also keep my bookings intentionally limited so each cat receives steady, thoughtful care. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, or medication, I make sure every visit feels consistent and reassuring for both you and your cat. My primary service is caring for cats in their own home, where many feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to doors, windows, lights, and entry routines. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat and home in someone else’s care, so I treat both with great respect and attention. Each visit is tailored to your cat’s personality and your preferences. Some cats want play and affection, while others prefer quiet company and space. I pay close attention to food, water, litter box habits, and any small changes in behavior. After every visit, I send thoughtful updates with photos, videos, and a clear report, so you can feel informed and at ease while you’re away. If I ever care for a cat in my home, I would focus on slow introductions, separated food, close monitoring, and a calm, clean environment. My five resident cats are all up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and I always respect each cat’s pace and comfort level.
About: I have been privately taking care of friends/family’s/acquaintances pets for 12 years. I usually stay at their home to make sure their pets are as comfortable as possible when their family is away. I also take care of other household needs. I work in the veterinary field and have done so for the past 7 years. I love dogs and have a special appreciation for cats and their personalities. I encourage you to set up a meet and greet before hand to make sure you and your pets match my vibe and trust me with your most beloved. I am comfortable with special needs pets and those requiring medications or extra care and attention, whatever that may be. Snuggle and play time are my specialties 😊 I am currently not working and have the flexibility to accommodate you and your pets changing needs! Please don’t hesitate to communicate schedule changes and/or special schedule requests. I do not have a fenced in yard and have a very active 85lb dog. I am very experienced in being cautious and careful with pets who also do not have the security of a fenced in yard.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
