“Susie did great with Snoflake. He was a bit unsure in the beginning because this was new for him; but, by day 3 he kind of knew the routine and then started bringing Susie a toy when she arrived. This is him showing the person arriving that he likes them enough to share his toys and wants to play a little. Then he would cry and whine when she left because he wanted the company and didn't want to be left alone. I had cameras installed so that I could see what he did when he was left free and alone in the house as well as when he was in his crate. I was able to talk to him through the camera and tell him things to calm him down. I also saw that he laid in the general area of where Susie sat for the remainder of her time to be there. He and I definitely appreciated the time Susie took to come walk him, even though he is stubborn and slow with his walking, and adjusting the instructions for his care on a daily basis with whether he was re-crated or left free in the house. I will definitely request Susie again when I need a dog sitter in the future.”
“Simply great! Great pictures, great walks, great communication and pictures. Bridget loves them. Have used numerous times and every time the service is excellent.”
“John is a great dog sitter. He was the first dog sitter we booked at Rover and he made us an our dogs feel really comfortable. Our 2 dogs are nervous with strangers, but they liked him almost the moment they met him. He went above and beyond with all of our requests.”
About: Hi there! I’m a reliable and loving pet caregiver with a flexible schedule in the evenings and on weekends. As a mom, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else — and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work early mornings (7 AM to 4 PM), which leaves my evenings and weekends open for dog walking, check-ins, or overnight stays. I enjoy spending time outdoors and being active, so daily walks or playtime with pets are something I genuinely look forward to. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine for comfort and consistency. In my home, pets get love, supervision, and a safe space—with bonus playtime from my gentle, animal-loving toddler!
About: I volunteered at the Humane Society of Harford County for 5 years. I walked dogs, fed them, played with them, and cleaned up their kennels. I also fostered dogs, many were adults but some were puppies. I have experience with all types of animals including reptiles, birds, and amphipeans. I have had 5 dogs of my own that I loved dearly into their old age. I currently have 3 cats, 2 corn snakes, and a goldfish. I will treat your pets like they are family. I have experience with potty training puppies and training experience though I'm not a master. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can give them all the love and care they need. I like to keep open communication with my clients. I will send pictures of the pets to their owners each of my visits. I will follow your directions exactly as told to me.

Shanelle L.Star Sitter
“I’ve had the pleasure of watching Shanelle interact with dogs, and it’s clear she has a natural gift. She’s patient, kind, and genuinely loves animals. Whether it’s playing, walking, or just giving them the attention they need, dogs seem to gravitate toward her. Shanelle is reliable, trustworthy, and always makes sure the dogs in her care are safe and happy. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone great with pets.”
Valerie S.
“Val has Pet sit for us and our 4 cats and 4 dogs on several occasions over the past few years. (Almost every year since 2018.) Her reliability, consistency of their schedules (a few senior pets- both cat and dog and younger puppies), good communication, Love for our pets like they are her own (they ALL come out of hiding to see her!!!) are why we trust her to keep watch while we are away. She was always on top of things if some pets were not doing well- communicating her concerns and observations. She always kept their areas clean and made sure they were let out or walked if need be regularly for potty time or exercise. The waterbowls were always full and had fresh water and the food bowls were filled at the scheduled times. Some of our senior pets were on oral medications which were given at the correct scheduled times. We have never had cause for concern because she was on top of things and again- did I mention our pets LOVE HER?!?? (Even the ones that like to hide!). If you are considering her to watch your pet, stop looking and give her a buzz. You won’t be disappointed! She will work with you to come up with a schedule and you can do what you need to do and she will take care of your babies!”

“I’ve known Abby B. for several years and I can confidently say she would be an exceptional pet sitter or dog walker.

She grew up around a wide variety of animals, and her experience clearly shows in the way she handles and cares for pets. Abby is incredibly reliable, communicative, and professional. She takes her responsibilities seriously and consistently goes above and beyond expectations. Whether it’s making sure pets feel loved and secure or keeping owners updated, Abby handles everything with a positive and warm demeanor. She’s also great at working with others - friendly, easygoing, and always respectful. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to leave my own pet in her care (in fact, I have several times!). I am very protective of my fur baby and only entrust a select few to care for her, Abby being one of these individuals. Pet owners will feel a sense of relief knowing their pets are in excellent hands with Abby!”
