“Bridget is great with our dogs, she takes such good care of them! She was able to help us out on very short notice, and did a wonderful job taking care of all 4 of our dogs, and followed our instructions to the tee. Very quick to respond, and good with communicating during the check ins as well, we got lots of photos so we could see the dogs were doing well. A+ sitter, will be booking again!”


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!

“Peyton was incredible with my kitties! She shared the best pictures with me, twice a day, and both Laynie and Petey were clearly having a ton of fun with her while I was away. They are going to miss her! Will definitely book again.”


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.

About: Please read before booking: Unfortunately I will no longer be doing Rover in the MD area as I am moving after July 2025. July 31st will be my last date that I will be accepting clients! Apologies for any inconvenience. Hi! I’m Kelly! I have 3 animals myself! 2 kitties one doggo. I am experienced in old and young pets alike. My cat is 14 and requires daily medication which I have no problem with, and I try to keep him young by playing with him! Huge fan of the little ones too 😊 Any and all pets I am happy to watch. I currently work hybrid, I recently graduated college and I am in a rotational tech program. The days I am hybrid vary, but for the most part I work from home in Bel Air Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On the weekends I am completely free! Animals in my home won’t be possible because of all my pets, but in your home I am able to watch them! I can drive anywhere from 1 mile to 30 miles to watch your furry friend! Let me know the location and we can figure something out :)

About: My childhood dog Magnum lived to age 20, so I feel that I can confidently say that I can shower your dog with love and care so they can live a long and healthy life! I work full-time but I am typically home from work by 4 on Wed-Fri and every other Monday. I am very active and love to get some steps in. I work in a hospital, so every day I am trusted with the lives of loved ones, and that pushes me to take my job very seriously. I don't have a pet at the moment, but I miss spending time with my dog and would love to care for yours!

About: Growing up in our house meant being around all sorts of animals. Anywhere from, dogs, cats, reptiles, small critters, and big critters. Being the oldest I often took care of my siblings pets. Which is how I became well acquainted with rearing puppies and kittens. It also lead me to have a love for small animals such as rats. I'm not easily spooked by animals. I work 8 hour shifts and am available from the mornings till 12. My work schedule is 12-8p.m If your pets are OK with that schedule I'm available for house sitting. My current days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I always like to introduce myself to new pets, by letting them sniff me for a bit. Most dogs and cats love being spoken to softly that usually helps with easing a pet.

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.

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.

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.
