“She is the BEST! I could tell my dog really like her. She came and play with the dog and does everything as instructed. Will definitely book with her again. Thank you”

“Courtney did an outstanding job for us. Our cat was very happy and relaxed when we returned from a week away, which has not always been the case. She did a great job with maintaining food, water and litter; and sent us daily photos of him enjoying some attention. Highly recommended!”

“Sylvia was wonderful!! Provided great information and photos. The cats loved her, they don't usually come out for sitters but they adored her and it was clear she made an effort to cultivate a relationship with them. I definitely plan to book with her again.”


“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”

“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”

“Rebecca is an amazing cat sitter! She is so kind, attentive, and incredibly responsive. When my cat's automatic feeder stopped working, she handled it right away—making sure my cat got fed and fixing the machine herself. Knowing my cat was in such caring and capable hands made my trip stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“Kathleen was a lifesaver. We were away for a day trip and had scheduled her to walk our dog mid-day. While we were on the trip we had an emergency that made it impossible for us to get home to walk and feed our dog that evening as planned. Kathleen was quick to respond and helped us out last-minute for a second visit the same day.”

“Antoinette provided drop in visit for our elderly (13 yrs) dog and was really great! She was a great communicator (kept us up to date and shared pics) and we got back to a happy and content dog. We hope we can have her sit for us again in the future!”

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.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a proud cat parent to my own cat, I know how much peace of mind matters when you have to leave your furry family members behind. While I'm new to the Rover platform, pet care is second nature to me—back in college, I regularly helped my classmates with pet sitting, looking after both dogs and cats. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat needs some gentle loving attention, I treat every pet with the exact same care and devotion I give my own. Because I work remotely and part-time from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I am basically free and can easily find time for your pet any day or any time. Whether it's a mid-day walk or constant companionship, we can easily figure out a routine that works best for you and your pet! Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Whether I am dropping in for pet sitting or taking your dog out for an engaging walk, I treat every pet with the utmost care and respect. As an experienced cat owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to respect an animal's boundaries, safety needs, and home environment. You can count on me for clear communication, reliable updates, and treating your home and pets like my own.
“Brianna was a wonderful sitter from start to finish. She communicated clearly and often, sending updates so I never had to wonder how things were going. She followed all of my instructions carefully and paid attention to the details that matter for my fur baby. She was kind and gentle with my cat, and my nervous, shy cat took to her right away. It was clear my cat felt safe and comfortable in her care, which meant everything to me while I was away. I came home to a happy, healthy kitty and a well-kept home. I would absolutely book Brianna again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”

“Holly was a life saver! I needed a last mnt dog sitter and she came to the rescue! She made sure my baby Sunny was walked, fed and happy. Thank you Holly!”

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs - most were those of friends and neighbors who needed a trustworthy individual to dog walk and sit. I am a 4th year medical student at university of Maryland with some free time this semester. My schedule is flexible and varies week to week. I always make sure to ask questions to understand the dog’s routine at home. I am very attentive to the dog’s needs and to make sure the dog stays comfortable at all times.
“Megan was an amazing caretaker of my cat. She was very attentive to detail and her visits provided the comfort my senior cat was longing for while I was away for six nights. I’m looking forward to provide her services whenever I’ll be out of town.”

“Katherine was great! One of my pups has reactivity issues and it’s always making me nervous leaving him with someone else but Katie quickly showed that my concern was not necessary at all. 10/10 would recommend”

About: I care for my family dog Marlo when needed. I walk him, feed him and play with him. I am available a few times out of the week I currently am working part time and looking to work as a dog walker on the side because I love animals. Can't wait to meet your furry friend. 💓 I care for my family dog Marlo everyday, making sure he is fed, loved and cared for. I also volunteer at the Maryland SPCA. I have a passion for animals and am a dog lover! Communication is critical and I will ensure that I am accessible for parents.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 15 years, beginning from childhood. I’ve raised cats, dogs and bunnies and have taken care of exotic animals such as iguanas! I’m employed full-time but as a hybrid worker, my job is very flexible! I understand that life happens, I’m able to accommodate last minute requests as needed :-). I currently live in a building that has two dog parks as well as plenty of open area to take the dogs out for walks as needed. We also have a doggy bath area so I can also give your fur baby a spa day if needed!

Jessica was very attentive to my fur baby, she took lots of photos and followed care instructions perfectly. She was a great match for my high-energy lover boy and was very respectful of our space for the in-home visit. I’m sure Ace would love to see her again.

Sheila is very patient with my standoffish Siamese girl, Luna. Sheila is understanding and kind with Luna, and often brings over new cat toys for her to try and play with. I always love and appreciate the pictures, too, especially when I’m away from home and missing my kitty. Thank you!

Rachel was awesome and went above and beyond. We appreciated that she sought out one of our kitties to make sure she ate and was happy, and even did us a solid by securing a piece of luggage that we forgot. Handoff of keys and garage opener was seamless, and our kitties were both happy on our return.

Pak Ki was amazing and I would highly recommend her! I was leaving for the weekend and my original sitter fell through relatively last minute, but Pak Ki was super helpful and was even able to visit for a meet and greet with the cat before I left. She was prompt and detailed in her communications and was able to administer my cat's twice daily medicine while I was away. Thank you again!

Brianna was a wonderful sitter from start to finish. She communicated clearly and often, sending updates so I never had to wonder how things were going. She followed all of my instructions carefully and paid attention to the details that matter for my fur baby. She was kind and gentle with my cat, and my nervous, shy cat took to her right away. It was clear my cat felt safe and comfortable in her care, which meant everything to me while I was away. I came home to a happy, healthy kitty and a well-kept home. I would absolutely book Brianna again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.

Alex was absoltuely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were doing well and were comfortable. She kept their litter box super clean and was always trying to find them when they were being shy to make sure they were doing good. I also very much appreciate the daily photos and thorough updates!

I highly recommend Nataly, she was amazing with caring for my cat Mango! Communication was excellent and I could tell Mango felt safe and had fun with her. She sent lots of photos and updates, and there was a small issue that came up which she handled very quickly and calmly and kept me updated the whole time. I would love to have her cat-sit again sometime!
