“Kelli was the perfect fit for our cats when we needed someone to come check on them during a long vacation. Kelli was reliable and spent so much time cuddling and playing with our kitties. We will definitely be using her again when we go away.”


“Samantha was great and made sure Athena was well cared-for while I was away for a couple of days. She left good updates and was even able to get a picture of my (very shy, usually hiding) kitty.”


“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!”


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.

“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!!”


“Ashley was wonderful! My pups and my kitty cat seemed very happy and comfortable with her. She took great care of my babies and she even did a last minute drop in when my flight was delayed, I will be booking again if I have any more trips to go on, thank you Ashley!!!”


“Such a wonderful and caring professional! My Coco & Lulu adore Travis, he took the time to sit with them during every visit, even went as far as to hand feed Coco their dinners. Reliable & helpful, we will be requesting Travis many times over!”


“Pat and Bee were fantastic!!! They were very professional and communicative during the entire time me and my family were away and they were caring for our fur babies. Always on time and took photos to share with us. I definitely intend to use them again for all future family trips and highly suggest any looking for some to lovingly and properly care for their pets while away Pat and Bee would be my first choice.”


About: Hi, my name is Jennifer and I'm new to Rover but not pet care! I have passionately been working in Animal Care, Welfare and Rescue for 10 years now, my entire adult life! I have 10 years of history working in doggy daycares with dog and cat boarding and animal shelters. I have also volunteered with dogs, cats, rats, goats, pigs, horses and more. Anywhere from fostering, TNR programs, to PetSmart adoption centers for kitties, transportations/freedom rides and on farms. I am skilled in nail trims, bathing/brushing, basic positive reinforcement training, medical/geriatric needs including handling medications, and I'm educated in dog and cat behavior. My pet sitting experience includes dogs, cats, bunnies and small animals such as rodents for the past 10 years. I have pet sat for family, personal friends and their families, and people I have randomly ended up befriending at dog parks, hiking or in the animal care jobs I've had! I love when animals and pets bring people together. I have grown up with dogs, cats, bunnies, rats, birds and even iguanas. My dream one day is to own my very own sanctuary/rescue on a farm. My beautiful family includes me, my wonderful husband Henry, our 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 rat and our medical foster kitty. I not only look forward to meeting your beloved pet, but you as well! I am opening my schedule full time for pet care services. I have decided it's time for a new journey and continue growing my animal care skills. With my 10 years experience, passion and incredible attention to detail, I am confident I will be a good fit for you and your pet. I've spent years cleaning up some of the dirtiest kennels you could imagine but I love to clean in my general life so when it's for an animal, even better!

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.

“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!”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with three dogs of my own, including a sweet senior pup. Experienced with senior care, administering medications, and providing plenty of love and attention, I’ll treat your dogs like they’re my own and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away. I’m a remote part-time worker based in the Kingsville area, with a flexible schedule during the week for walks and drop-in visits. I’m happy to check in on pets within a short driving distance, giving them the care and attention they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, familiar environment. Whether it’s on walks or in your home, I’m attentive to their needs, use safe handling at all times, and make sure they’re never left unsupervised in unsafe situations. You can trust that they’ll be cared for as if they were my own.

“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!”


“Emma was great with our dog! She arrived on time each day at my home as scheduled while my family and I were out of town. She was professional and friendly the entire time. She also sent pictures of our dog from each visit.”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was 13. My peers say I am reliable. I love all dogs of all kind and playing with them as I take good care of them. I work full time but my hours depends on the week usually. I get my schedule for work on Wednesdays weekly. I’d love to help out as much as I can and let me know and I can inform my work so I can work with what works best. I live close to a big dog park that is nearby and my apartment complex has a dog park of its own. I love walking my own dog in the area I’m in.
