About: Hey! My name is Hannah, I'm a young professional hoping to love on your pets! I'm new to Rover so thank you for your patience and grace! I've grown up with cats my whole life. I have experience with young, elderly, shy, hyper, temper-mental, and loving cats. Please let me know the general attitude of your pet beforehand so I can prepare accordingly! I have a bit less experience with dogs but I'm so down for a long walk or throwing a toy around the park! I currently work as a marine biologist engineer, I work with many different kinds of animals by maintaining their water quality and exhibit health. Rest assured your pet will be well cared for if I'm their sitter! My work schedule is 8am-4pm Monday through Friday. I work the first weekend of every month and will be unavailable to book for those days! If there are any further questions please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm currently working full time until 4pm Monday-Friday (and one weekend a month) so I have plenty of time to check on your pets before you get home from work! Trust assured that your pets will be well cared for. Your pet will be monitored the entire time I'm with them so no accidents happen! Even if I'm just taking your animal on a walk or checking in on them during the work day, everything will be triple checked before leaving your home. I take pride in my attention to detail!
About: I have been passionate about animals, particularly dogs, since I was a young girl. As I grew up, I have had several dogs (and cats!) of my own, and in my free time, I love to take care of family and friends' dogs. I have dog/cat sit for all ages, from puppies to senior dogs, kittens to elderly cats, big to small, reactive to docile; I love them all! I am currently between jobs, so any time that works for you and your pet works for me! Also happy to brave any weather if your pet is. I like to get acquainted with the pet through their human first: likes, dislikes, triggers (particularly sounds or things), health history (in case of any major surgeries or recoveries), diet, allergies, training, and, most importantly, favorite toys/treats.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with two dogs: a 12 year old Golden Doodle and a 4 year old Cavapoo, so I’m very familiar with both senior dogs and younger, energetic pups. While they are my family dogs and not currently living with me, I’ve been involved in their care my entire life, handling walks and daily responsibilities, especially when my parents were at work and I took on most of their care. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like my own and enjoy getting to know their personalities! I work in the office Monday through Wednesday from 9:00–4:30, so my availability is a bit more limited during those days. However, I’m available during evenings on those days for walks or drop-ins. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, which allows me to be much more flexible throughout the day for pet care. Weekends can vary for me—I tend to be busy Friday evenings and Saturdays, but Sundays are generally open and a good day for me to provide care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure pets are comfortable and following their normal routine. During walks, I focus on safe leash handling and choosing routes based on each dog’s needs. For drop-in visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and lots of play time of course. I always respect clients’ homes and my goal is to keep pets happy, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.
“Tabitha is an incredible sitter and companion for my dog Scout. I can see the care and detail she takes in playing with him and making him feel important. I travel a lot for work and it’s just me so it’s always stressful knowing I have to leave my dog behind. But I’m always assured he’s in great hands with Tabitha. Thank you for all that you do. It truly matters.”

About: *MY BOOKING IS FULLY CLOSED AT THIS TIME* Hey! My name is Briana and I grew up with groomers and animal rescuers for parents. I was taught how to birth, wean, potty train, and care for many types of animals. I have worked in my parents grooming shop to help over the years and this included walking and bathing dogs. I have not only work experience and lived experience but also my passion for animals especially being a cat/dog mom myself. I have special experience with senior dogs and puppies, including wound care, medicine needs and dedicated time/attention. I can't wait to meet your furry loved one! I work Mon-Sat 7am-12pm at my fulltime job but am able to house sit and do drop ins around that schedule. I would be leaving around 6/630am and back around 12:30/1pm to handle any care needs. I am unable to host animals inside of my home due to my own cat not being a friendly guy. In my clients home I follow all rules set in place as well as keeping your furry loved one comfortable in their existing routines or whatever the client's expectations would be. I prefer taking written directions just so I have something I can always check back to ensure the most efficient care.

“Lindsey did a great job walking Cidney! I appreciated her flexibility in booking and her clear communication and I loved seeing the pics and updates in her report card each afternoon--I could tell Cid was in great hands!”


About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since my sister and I did a dog walking business in the 8th grade with the neighborhood. One of my best friends is a golden german Shepard named Cassie Lou(middle name from me:) I grew up with a doberman who showed me how quirky these furry friends can be. Currently, I live with my roommate’s basset-hound mix that is extremely friendly! I am always open to getting to know new friends, please reach out with any questions! I just graduated from Clemson and moved back to Baltimore! My working hours vary day to day, and I am available on most weekends and am open to working with you! I am more than happy to go on long walks and treat the furry friends with the utmost respect! I ask that the owners are upfront about the animals needs so I can be best prepared!
About: Hi, I’m Emily and I’m new here! I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and now as a young professional, I have one of my own, Maverick, a very spoiled German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees rescue! My passion for pets grew even more when my sister started her own pet services business, Kailey Walks Dogs, in Salisbury, MD. Whenever I have extra time, I head to the Eastern Shore to assist her and shadow her during appointments. It’s given me valuable, hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable working with pups of all temperaments. Having a reactive dog myself, I understand how overwhelming and sometimes isolating it can feel. I’ll always take the time to get to know you and your dog and work with whatever makes them feel safe and comfortable. I can’t wait to give your pet all the love, attention, and pets they deserve! Fun fact: I can say “Can I pet your dog?” in five different languages! Not sure I can think of anything better than spending my weekend around pets! Most of my weekends are wide open. Just shoot me a message and we can figure out a plan! I’m detail oriented and committed to following your dog’s routine and specific needs. I’m also very active, so if your pup loves a high-energy lifestyle, I can definitely keep up! On every walk, I come prepared with treats, water, and dog deterrent spray to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeland
Christine was great with our dog, Ron!!! He bonded so well with her and she had him on his schedule everyday. Our dog needs a ton of attention and Christine was great for that. She cuddled Ron when he needed and played with him regularly! We take our dog out 3-4 times a day and Christine hit everything on the mark. Her communication with me was very quick and helpful. I highly recommend Christine for quick visits or long trips! She can work around most schedules and leaves you peace of mind for your pet. Thanks again Christine! Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!

Jahborne was great with my sweet prince. Communication was excellent, I couldn’t have trusted anyone more with caring for him. He asked questions and answered my text almost immediately if I needed anything and I will definitely be booking again! Thanks a lot !!!!
