Emma was WONDERFUL! I was very nervous about using Rover while we were away and Emma put us right at ease. She updated us every time she visited and our dog loved her. I will definitely be using her services again.

About: • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. I go above and beyond with detailed "report cards", daily photo and video updates, or regular check-ins via text or email. I take the time to build trust with nervous, shy, or reactive dogs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I work part-time from Saturday through Tuesday, but I'm completely free on my days off and on Monday mornings until 2:00 PM. I'd love to provide companionship and care during those times, ensuring your pet is never alone for long. I always match the owner’s exact routine to keep the pet calm. I provide tailored in-home care for all types of pets, ensuring they stay safe and happy in their own environment. I treat every home with respect and send regular updates so you have peace of mind

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I am very patient with senior dogs and puppies and I love to see them happy. Overnight stays are easier since I have my own pets and I can monitor and walk them all together and keep them in a routine. My dog sleeps in his bed, he is an older dog so sleeps a lot and my cats sleep in their tree or couch. I live in a townhome with plenty of room for the babies to play and/or keep company

About: Your pet deserves more than just a place to stay — they deserve someone who truly cares. With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I bring both heart and expertise to every pet I welcome. I'm the proud owner of a hospital therapy golden retriever, and that same patience and attentiveness is what every animal in my care receives. My extensive dog behavior training means I'm equipped to handle pets of all temperaments with confidence and calm. I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind and give your pet a safe, loving home away from home. I am a teacher, so completely available to care for your pet most days during the summer! I'm very attentive to pet routines because I have my own dog at home! I'm available to take pets on short notice, with a home interview. I live in a safe neighborhood and walk my dog on a daily basis. I do not leave my dog outside unattended, and the same will apply to your pets! Nothing hazardous is accessible to pets in the home, and we are diligent about keeping doors closed

Completely enjoyed having Maria drop in and help my senior cats Ginger and Stella. House was neat and both cats were calm and satisfied when I got back. Maria also gave some detailed reviews with each visit which was very reassuring. We’ll be happy to have her back next trip!

About: While you are away, let your dogs enjoy a pupcation! My wife and I have been caring and training dogs for 10+ years. We have a fenced yard with a lake just beyond that. We currently have 2 friendly dogs who love to play. We can guarantee your dog will have an awesome time! We will train your dog as well if you would like. Dogs will get walked every day and plenty of play time. In this house hold, dogs are part of the family! Able to adapt and provide whatever care you require for your dog. I work 6am - 2pm and my wife works at a hospital over night. So there is always someone home to look after the dogs. If you want, we can take the dog out to the lake. We take ours out there all the time, it is shallow. But if you don't want them to, they don't need to. Our yard is fully fenced and cut off from the pond. Both my wife and I work, but she works night and I work days. So at all times we have someone home watching the pups. We treat your dog just like they were our own. We give them all the love, attention and care that they need. Your dog will gets plenty of play time, cuddles and care.

About: With a deep passion for animal welfare, I have developed a lifelong affinity for dogs. My household has always included at least one dog, and I have gained extensive experience in caring for them throughout my adult life. My children, now adults, grew up in dog-friendly households and have continued this tradition with their own families. I strongly believe that a home is incomplete without the companionship of a four-legged friend. I am well-versed in handling various breeds and sizes of dogs. Your dog and I will enjoy exploring the neighborhood together, discovering new sights and smells. On occasion, we may visit our local Starbucks for a pup cup treat, with your prior approval. We may also take a stroll through the nearby park, weather permitting. I understand the importance of providing dogs with opportunities to experience new environments and sensations. My ultimate goal is to ensure that your dog remains comfortable and stress-free at all times. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a meet and greet. I am available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to provide pet care services for your fur babies. On Sundays, I am available anytime after 12:30 p.m., following church services. My residence features a fenced yard, providing a secure environment for my five pets. I diligently supervise them, limiting their time alone to brief intervals. We participate in regular walks, adjusted according to weather conditions. I prioritize their comfort, avoiding walks in extreme temperatures and taking measures to protect them from the elements.

About: I have gained so much experience with animals over the years that I have been jokingly nicknamed “the animal whisperer” and Snow White. I have had dogs and a cat my whole life, as well as watching friends, coworkers, family members and networks pets. I also have experience in animal husbandry & care from my last research position. I accept all furry friends and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, and rodents! I currently work full time, approximately 6am-5pm (including my commute), so I am available any day after 5 for a dinner time walk or an overnight stay if pups or cats are okay being left alone for a bit. Please keep this in mind, especially regarding seniors or puppies. If your babies are used to that then I am totally fine with it. On weekends, however, I am available any time! I am able to follow any instructions given from the client and do have experience giving medication as well. I am attentive, will provide updates, always looking out for their well-being, and loving. I will provide the most comfortable & approachable aura that I can to make all fur-babies feel safe 💕

About: Hi, I’m Michael! I’ve spent the past few years helping care for my stepmother’s pets whenever she needed an extra hand. At first, I didn’t think much of it — but over time, I realized how much I truly enjoyed it. That passion inspired me to start offering my pet care services to others! Here’s a little about my experience: • Feeding pets on a regular schedule • Walking and cleaning up after them • Administering medications (pill form) • Refilling water and ensuring hydration • Spending quality time playing, relaxing, and keeping them company I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am currently a college student at UMBC and work at a bar on Thursday nights. As a result, my availability is primarily on Fridays and weekends. I am generally free during these times unless I have a prior commitment. I make it a priority to maintain a flexible schedule to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets When caring for pets, I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, making sure to stick to every detail. I take pride in being thorough and dependable because I believe every pet deserves the best care. My goal is to ensure that each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away.

Cheyenne checked in on our three pets (2 dogs, 1 cat) while we were away. She gave them lots of snuggles and they immediately warmed up to her. Even my shy kitty came out to say hi and fight for pets from her, my dogs were taking all of her time/hands haha. Cheyenne was very responsive, and did everything i asked her to do! (it was a lot). Thank you, Cheyenne. We will most definitely keep you in mind for future trips!
