“I have been using for a couple of times now. She is 💯 reliable and I can always count on her to giving loving far to my cat Rin. I wanted a sitter that can give lots of cuddles and love in addition to providing care ( cleaning litter, water etc). She is the person.”
About: Your dog will feel right at home with my family and me! We are a family of dog lovers and will make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and care throughout their stay. We love going on walks, spending time outside, playing, and giving lots of cuddles. Your dog will be treated like part of our family and will have plenty of opportunities for playtime and enrichment—and they may even go home knowing a new trick or two! I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pet, so I’ll keep you updated throughout their stay with photos and messages. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention while you’re gone. I currently work full time at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with the dogs in my care. Between myself and my family, your pup will receive lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout their stay. I also do my best to maintain their normal feeding, potty, and sleep routine so they feel comfortable while away from home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always a priority. Our home is full of dog lovers, so your pup will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. I follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, sleeping arrangements, and any other special needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Amber really loves my baby!! She also reinforces the commands and reprimands that I do so I’m not starting all over every day with my puppy. She takes time to update me and makes sure she has a good time even if it’s for just 30 minutes. So grateful for her!”
About: I have LOTS of experience handling and caring for dogs and cats (and birds). I am the person that everyone calls when they see an injured animals or lost pet roaming the streets. My love for all things furry (and hairless too) is beyond measurable. I am ready to walk your loved one and make sure they are safe, and getting their excessive! Want a photo of your baby? No problem! Want a video of your baby? No problem! I currently work from home so your pet will never be alone for long periods of time. I am available most days anytime after 10:00 am. If you are looking for a morning dog walk just let me know and I can try to make it work 🙂 I have a fenced in yard. I have two dogs of my own who can easily adapt to your baby with proper introduction :-). I have kids who have learned to respect all animals. You do not have to worry about kids hanging on your pet or pulling their tail. Animals respect is first and foremost in our household. I also have two birds. They are out most of the day but stay perched or hang out on my shoulder.
About: I have many years of pet sitting experience. I've worked for a few pet sitting services around Baltimore. I volunteered at an animal shelter in Denver walking the dogs. I have always had pets of my own. I also have years of house sitting and child care experience. I am a very laid back person and your pet will feel at ease with me. I treat my pets as if they are little people. I talk to them and cuddle with them. I will treat your furry friends as if they were my own. I am mature, responsible and professional. I am available for daily visits or overnight stays. I can also board them at my place. I do not currently have any pets of my own. I work full time M-F in the office but have some flexibility to work from home. I will be sure to give your pet the attention required to make them happy. Upon taking on a new client, I make sure I am aware of any situations that may become an issue. I currently have a client whose dogs need to be separated during the day while they are alone. While I am at the house, I watch out for any signs between these dogs that there may be any problems with their behavior towards each other.
About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.
About: I've owned animals my entire life, every size and age of dogs, cats, and exotics. I currently live with my mini husky Luci, and my three guinea pigs Skye, Raze, and Sage. I am currently a free-lance caretaker for both children and animals, meaning my schedule is completely flexible and will be predictable enough to quickly schedule tasks. My time will be dedicated to the tasks of the day or week completely. I cannot board due to the fragile bond between my mini husky and my guinea pigs living together, unfortunately other animals of either kind may be a danger to this dynamic. I have my own transportation to drop in anywhere, however.
About: Let our home be their home away from home!!! Dog lover since my 1st puppy at 3yo and now passing that down to my 2 boys that love to help me care for our dogs and the ones that come to stay with us. I pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends growing up and still do to this day. My 1st real job was taking care of the animals being boarded at a vet clinic when I was 14yo. I joke and say my first job was a professional pooper scooper. Here I would feed and medicate dogs as needed. Other aspects of the job included dog walking, cleaning kennels and runs, loving on them and playing. I have fostered for extended periods of time for people to help with different circumstances until they could take their dogs back. This helped to save these dogs from having to be rehomed. I will help keep pets with good families in any way that I can. I have also had experience in dogs with special needs. I cared for my own dog, Bubba, with Megaesophagus from 8wks old until he passed at 8yo due to complications of his illness. His care included preparing his food in a blender and special feeding accomodations in a Bailey's chair daily, numerous medications, nebulizer treatments, injections, and standing upright after drinking and special maneuvers to help keep his lungs clear whenever he would aspirate. Adjusted many aspects of my life and my dog's for him to thrive and live as long as he did. My current fur babies are Chaos (Lab /Mastiff), Mayhem (Bully/Pit) and Pippa (Beagle/Bassett). I love all dogs as if they were my own. I have cared for and owned dogs of various breeds and sizes. I rescued a highly anxious and fearful dog when she was 2yo so I have experience with patience and building trust. Walking, feeding, play, medication administration can all be done. Let me know any special thing that your dog needs and I will take care of it as long as I'm able and if I'm not I will be straight forward with you. I will strive to send you at least 1 update and picture daily while in my care unless you would like more. I work from home so I'm always available days, nights and weekends if your pup is staying at my home. My schedule is very flexible. Willing to do walks no matter what the weather may be. If you need me to come to your house I am available throughout the day. I can be available with notice and if you don't mind my one son tagging along with me if you need help outside my home in the evenings. I too have experience with many other animals as pets (we referred to my house as "The Zoo" growing up) or sitting for family and friends when on vacation. I have experience with cats, mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, small lizards, frogs, turtles, snakes, and birds. Sorry I will not help with your pet tarantula. Our home has a 6ft fenced backyard with locks always on the gates. Also a good size neighborhood to take your pooch on walks. My 2 young boys also love to help with caring for our own pups with my help, don't worry they won't be the ones walking your dog. If I am coming into your home I will respect your property and privacy. Your house your rules! I have experience with giving medications, shots, and nebulizer treatments as well as wound care for dogs. Any special considerations/needs for your furry family member I am happy to follow.
About: I’ve been taking care of my two rescued dogs that me and my family rescued 12 years ago. I also have experience petting my friends dogs, cats, and chickens! I am currently unemployed and trying to make pocket money and save for travel so i will use all my time looking out for your fluffy children. I offer drop in visits and walks. I will personally make sure your pet is fed, played with, walked, loved, happy, and well cared for.
About: I'm located off interstate 95 making me an easy stop to drop off and pick up your pet. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I've volunteered at a number humane societies and for the general public. I have boarded a number of different spieces of furbabies and house sat for mostly friends and family for 11 years now. I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation through a course and volunteer work. If you have small animals that need baby sitting my home is open to them and I have experience with a variety of small animals. I fit every animals needs and put them into my regular routine. I believe in schedules it makes life easier for myself and the animal I'm caring for. I have a large chain link fenced yard that your pets will enjoy. I prefer to give animals enough activity so that it helps with their health.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Joppatowne
Writing Shannan is truly an amazing person! ❤️ I had an emergency and reached out to her for a last-minute drop-in to check on my grandpup, and she immediately stepped in to help. Her kindness, reliability, and willingness to show up when we needed her most mean so much. I’m incredibly grateful to have her in our lives!
Patrick and Bahiya are absolutely amazing! We’ve used them several times for dog drop-ins and for watching our two dogs while we’re out of town, and they’ve become our first choice every single time we travel. They are dependable, caring, and treat our dogs like their own. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re taking care of our family while we’re away. We’ve always had a great experience with them, and they consistently go above and beyond to make sure our dogs are happy and well cared for. At this point, whenever we’re going out of town, Patrick and Bahiya are the first people we reach out to. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!
We were so lucky to have Melissa take care of our pups while we were away! She was wonderful about sending photos and detailed updates. She gave them such great attention during her drop in visits, you could tell they were so happy to see her. We would definitely recommend using Mellisa to care for your pets!
Fantastic sitter; highly, highly recommend!! Calailah was very kind to our two kitties even when Orion wasn’t very kind to her at first. Orion usually doesn’t like new people but he warmed up to Calailah in one day- the fastest he’s ever warmed up to someone! Will definitely be reaching back out next outing!
The last time my family and I went away we had to put our pets in a daycare and our dog got sick so our experience with putting them in a daycare was tainted. So this time around I chose Rover but I was very nervous about It however after speaking with Haylee I felt much better and confident that things would go well. She did just an amazing job and she sent reports every step of the way. I was so thankful that I was able to leave our pets home this time around and will do so moving forward. Highly appreciated Haylee and would definitely recommend!

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
