“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!”


“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.”


“Having never used a pet sitter for our 3 cats we didn’t know what to expect. After chatting with Stephanie, our minds were set at ease. She did wonderfully with our 3, one of whom needs daily medication. She sent daily updates and pictures. If we need a pet sitter again she would definitely be our first choice!”


“Samantha is friendly and readily responds to messages, keeping me updated. She even gets a couple of pictures of my elusive kitty (which can be a feat).”


“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.”


“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!!!”


“Brandi was amazing! She really came through in the clutch for me and my pets with a last second service request. Was super diligent and proactive. It was great to see my pets warm up to her! She did a fantastic job taking care of them and giving me peace of mind with communications and pictures! Definitely recommend you book with her!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals—from farm and livestock animals to beloved household pets. I grew up in a home full of furry (and feathered!) friends, including Saint Bernards, a Bull Mastiff, three rescue cats, a turtle, a chinchilla, and many horses, chickens, goats, and cows. That upbringing taught me not only how to care for animals, but how to truly understand and connect with them. Whether it’s a gentle giant or a shy rescue, I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect—just like I would my own. I'm comfortable handling everything from feeding and administering meds to long walks, playtime, and cuddles on the couch. You can trust that your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands with me. I can’t wait to meet your animals and care for them like family! I currently work full time, but I have flexible office hours. I usually go for morning walks with my dog around 8 AM, head back home mid day around 12:00 to let him out and play a game of fetch, and home between 4:30-5:30 for evening walks. I have open and flexible weekends as well! I live in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood that is perfect for long walks/runs! I am about a 15 minute drive from the Salisbury dog park and 5 minutes from local trails. My dog is crate trained and stays in his crate when no one is home. He is super friendly and loves all dogs and cats!

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 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.


“Mariah was excellent! Took good care of our 4 kitties and communicated with us how they were doing! We really appreciate how conscientious she was! (Even brought our packages in!) Highly recommend !!! Sara and Barry”


“Camille was fantastic! Will definitely use her every time! Tommy says thank you!”


About: Had dogs growing up, fell in love with them! Love to care for and connect with them. Dogs seem to trust me and treat me like an old friend. My family and I now have a cat that we absolutely adore (no dogs allowed in our apartment), but boy, do I miss dogs! Main carer for our cat, feed her, empty litter box. Spend time with her and connecting with her every day. She is a real joy, we all love her so Enjoy our neighbors’ dogs in a local park for a quick “love greeting” and pat on the head LOL Main care taker for our cat, Feed her, clean her litter. Spend time playing with her and connecting with her daily. She gives us joy

“Excellent work with Bentley”


About: Big dogs, small dogs, long hair, short, barky dogs, nervous dogs, dogs that want to run, dogs that need to sniff every blade of grass . . . We enjoy spending time with all of them! I love the outdoors and I love dogs so I’m using dog walking/sitting as a way to get away from the daily grind. Thanks for letting me play! We have a 1-acre fenced in yard. Visiting pets will be closely monitored, and if necessary can be kept separate from our boxer, Tinkerbelle. However, Tink is friendly and loves to play so as long as your pup is up for it, so are we! For walking, if you suggest a particular route, I’d be glad to stick to it. Otherwise, I scope a route before I arrive and adjust based on the needs and preferences of your best friend.

“Ela did an amazing job, was able to help us last minute and adapted so well to any kinks that came up! I can’t say enough great things. We’re so lucky we discovered her.”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care. I have years of hands-on experience from growing up with pets and helping care for those of friends and family. I’m especially attentive and calm when it comes to pet behaviors and noticing changes in mood. Whether it’s playtime for a pup or quiet companionship for a senior cat, I adapt to what your pet needs most. I work full time Wednesday through Sunday from 11:30AM to 8:00 PM, which means I’m available for morning drop-ins, early walks, and evening care after my shift. On Mondays and Tuesdays I am fully flexible and can accommodate a wider range of visits and walks. I’m great at managing my time and always make pet care my top priority. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow any and all instructions and respect the space by keeping things tidy. I ensure to give all pets the attention and care they’re used to - whether that’s walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles. I always make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and that pers are safe and happy before each time I leave.

“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’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and right now I share my home with three dogs and a cat. I know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else—I’m super protective of mine because the idea of them feeling anxious or lonely while I’m away really weighs on me. That’s why, if I’m caring for your pet, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. Our pets’ lives are short and precious, and I believe every moment should be filled with comfort, care, and joy. I’m available every day of the week, including weekends. Pet sitting is currently my full-time focus, so your pet will have my complete attention and care. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard and I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will never be left alone. If they stay with me, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have my own pets at home, but I’m happy to keep them separated if needed—I can easily set aside our downstairs living area just for your pet’s comfort and peace of mind.

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.
