“Stephanie was amazing! Very professional, communicated well, and was overall very attentive with our boys. Our AC went out halfway through the week, and she helped us troubleshoot the problem from 3 states away. She also made sure to check on the cats and make sure the house wasn’t too hot without the AC. Overall, we had a great experience and we plan to book with her again for our next trips as well!!”


“This is our second time using Kelli to care for our kitties while we were away on vacation. Just like the first time she did an amazing job. She took great care of both of our cats. Gave them pets, snuggles and treats. Our newest cat Harvey who is a bit shy took to Kelli right away. I think the first day he was full on snuggling her. Both of my cats have liked Kelli from their first meeting. Animals can tell when a person is good and Kelli has a heart of gold. She's not just great with our kitties. She took so many photos and gave great updates each day. As long as Kelli is still pet sitting when we do any future trips, she'll be our go to sitter. Seriously could not ask for anyone better to care for your animals. Thank you, Kelli. We truly appreciate you!”


“We could not be happier with our experience with Shannan! She went above and beyond to care for our cat while we were away. Shannan accepted our booking within a week of our trip and we really appreciate her flexibility. She sent us updates everyday with photos and let us know how she was doing. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our cat made us feel at ease. We knew our cat would be in good hands within minutes of meeting Shannan. Super lucky to have found her!”


“Angela was great! Our cat was is scared of everyone but came out and wanted love from her! She sent detailed updates and ample photos. We will definitely book with her again!”


About: I grew up fostering animals from the Humane Society of Harford County, caring for animals with the range of young puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. And, yes, I’ve “foster-failed” a few times, and have multiple cats and dogs of my own. A house isn’t a home without a fur baby. I am a middle-school teacher who currently has full availability now that summer vacation has begun. I’d love to fill my time off by caring for your four-legged friends! Fostering animals with a variety of backgrounds, training levels, capabilities, etc., has given me a lot of experience with creating a safe and happy environment.

“Ashley was a wonderful sitter! She tried to give Nunu her antibiotics, but unfortunately, Nunu wouldn't cooperate 😭 But nevertheless, Ashley kept trying and was very responsive on her attempts!”



“Mariah was so kind and informative! She gave great updates on all our babies while we were away and completed all the feeding and requests with expertise. Totally recommend her and will absolutely be booking her next time we go out! Thanks again for watching over our pets!”


“Mikeyla took great care of my dog while we were away! She went above and beyond! It was so nice not having to worry about our dog. We will definitely be using her services again!”


“Great experience with Nicolina and Patrice!! They took great care of our 4 cats and bunny even with one cat on meds and insulin shots!! Getting ready to book them again for our next trip out of town.”


“I am so grateful for Ela! My cat loves when she comes to visit, play with him, and spend time together. She intentionally built a relationship with him on the first visit and it shows, and he is a very discerning cat who won’t open up to just anyone! I appreciate Ela’s updates and pictures. She is great with feeding and cleaning the box too. It gives me so much peace of mind to know he is well cared for while I am away.”

About: I have always had dogs growing up since I was a baby. I have been around dogs all sizes from Shih Tzu’s to Saint Bernards. I have currently a pitty who is reactived and been doing class with him. If you need someone to walk, run, watch or play with your dog(s) look no further! I currently work at a before and after school program. Was the program director, but now just work pm shifts. I’m free any time in the morning all the way up to about 1pm and will be busy until about 7 I can’t house sit at my house unfortunately at the moment with currently living situation. I have a yard for my dog to run, outdoor tent for my cats to be outside, and two birds cages for one inside and one outside.

“she is very attentive and gentle to our little shih tzu/ bischon frise puppy that has a heart problem and is due to have surgery, im very satisfied that she handled him with care and has given me pictures of how it went and even went back when i asked a favor because my puppy likes to mess his playpen up lol, her daughter was also gentle to my puppy and the pictures were adorable!”


About: I have been caring for animals since I was around 6 years old. I have cared for dogs, cats, horses, sugar gliders, farm animals, and so much more. I absolutely love any dog from the largest paws to the littlest paws. They’re a part of our family and deserve the best care they can offer. I don’t mind if it’s a little bouncy puppy or an older senior living out their last and most important days. They all deserve the best care. I have always had a lot of luck when it comes to pets who may be high anxiety around new people or who may just struggle with general shyness. I can also handle a pup or an older dog who may just not be able to potty outside. I understand that everyone’s situation is different and not every dog is the same. I accept and can handle any dietary requirements the dog may need and I can walk the dogs personally or allow them outside in a yard depending on how you prefer it. My goal is to keep your dog as comfortable as they are when they’re with you while you’re gone. I have pets of my own, so caring for them on a daily is very important! Lots of walks, time for meals, playtime, and meeting general needs! This includes food, water, medications, etc. I have lots of time for furry friends and can care for them whenever someone may need it. As a pet lover myself, ensuring a pet is happy and well taken care of is very important to me and I will meet all of their daily and weekly needs. When I’m staying at someone’s home, a pet’s care is always very important. The care all depends on the specific needs of your pet! For example, if your pup needs to be exercised at a park nearby or just walked a good while a few times a day near the house, I can absolutely do that. If they prefer to just lounge around the house and cuddle, I’m totally up for it! I can do any feeding routines along with daily exercise or training routines your pet may be used to. I can even try and start a new routine for you if you’ve been trying to start one. I always take great care of my pets making sure they have fresh water, comfortable places to lay, nice clean fur, food at the right times and amounts, plenty of potty breaks and play time, and of course, love! Breakdown- - walking your dog as needed or even bringing them to a park nearby if it is what you desire - ensuring they are safe and have access to the potty whenever they need it and checking throughout the day in case they don’t like to tell! (Keeping up with daily cleaning for litter boxes when it comes to cats) - cleaning up any messes the dog or cat may make during the stay and keeping track of anything they may eat.. shoes must really look yummy to some pups! - keeping up with a daily/weekly feeding schedule - keeping the water fresh and clean at all times so your pet never has to worry about being thirsty. - understanding the daily playtime routine and making sure your pets feel loved and have lots of fun! - keeping up with lists you may provide specific to pet’s needs. - ensuring all daily and weekly medications are given to the pet at the times they are needed or as the schedule says to do so. - anything specific needs your furry companion may need are always welcome and will be put into the routine.

Over 14 pet parents in Joppa have booked cat sitting
Joppa cat parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah went above and beyond during her drop in visits for Nunu! She left such detailed information that I had no worries about Nunu during my trip! Sarah also helped set up a new litter box for Nunu because she noticed Nunu had an accident outside her litter boxes, and she asked questions whenever she was unsure about anything. I highly recommend Sarah to take care of your cats!
