“Cheyenne was so sweet and patient with our rescue who can be very shy. She was an expert at making her not feel pressured or overwhelmed. Made me feel so much better having someone so patient and gentle with her.”
“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”
“Nia was by far the sweetest sitter I’ve had yet! She was very attentive to my baby and even sent tons of videos and pictures as requested. She took her for walks and ensured she had fresh food and water each day. I would not hesitate to use Nia again for my baby!”
“Michelle took great care of my cats while I was away. She spent a full hour with them every day, and sometimes even longer, making sure they had fresh food, plenty of water, clean litter, and engagement. I especially appreciated how consistent and dependable she was with the daily care routine. One of my cats can be a little particular and attached to his usual way of playing, but Michelle made sure he was safe, cared for, and checked on. She also seemed to really bond with Emi, which meant a lot to me. It gave me peace of mind knowing they had someone patient and attentive coming by each day. I’d happily recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“My cats loved Melissa. One of my cats is diabetic, so it is very important his routine is the same every day. I appreciated getting the photos and updates on his eating habits while I was gone. She even managed to win over my elderly cat who doesn’t like meeting new people. I hope I’ll be able to engage her services again for my next vacation.”
“Lidia was our dog sitter for the Labor Day weekend and did a wonderful job! She visited our pups exactly as scheduled and made sure they were well cared for — playing with them, letting them out, refilling their water bowls, and feeding them. She gave them lots of love and attention, which made us feel at ease while we were away. One of the highlights was how well she kept us updated. Lidia sent us plenty of pictures from every visit and shared regular updates on how our dogs were doing. We felt completely confident that they were in great hands. We truly enjoyed having Lidia take care of our dogs, and they clearly enjoyed her too! We will definitely be booking her again.”
“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.”
About: I have a big yellow Labrador and I have been taking care of him all of his life! He is 14 so he is a senior and I have watched younger dogs many times also! I am a college student so right now I have the summer off, but I work mainly on the weekends for Howard County as sports tournament staff! While visiting a clients home I can easily make sure the pet will be safe based on what the pet’s needs are! I am also a collegiate athlete so I will be an active sitter/walker for your pet!
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 carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences.

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.
“Jennie was amazing with our three dogs! We had to add another drop in visit the day before our trip unexpectedly and she was happy to accommodate with no issues. Highly recommend and looking forward to rebooking in the future.”
“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”

“Carly is great with our dogs. She always provides me with details and pictures of her drop in visits, which puts me at ease about our elder dog and our Labrador with epilepsy. She is always responsive very and flexible with our ever changing needs. We are so glad we found her!”
“We have used Hannah twice now and she is fantastic with our two large high energy Labrador retrievers! They are very active and she does a great job dealing them. They loved fetching with her! Her communication was great leading up to and after the visit.”

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.

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 💕
“James was a great find! I have a few others I use for sitting and they are wonderful. However James did something that the others did not. He offered to come and meet Jina and I before he was coming later in the evening to take care of her. With this Initial interview, Jina got to meet and greet James. When James came back for is scheduled visit, Jina already knew who he was making a huge impact on how Jina felt a new person in her world. Jina was taken very well care of for almost 3 hours and the communication with James was excellent! I highly recommend this sitter! See you again soon James.”
“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.”

Linthicum pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Rover for our cat Walt. He is slow to warm up to people but Tabitha was great at the meet and greet just going at his pace and not forcing anything. She stopped by for 2 visits and by the second one he was less shy and approached her more easily. I would definitely recommend Tabitha as she was available on short notice and reliable.
Michelle took great care of my cats while I was away. She spent a full hour with them every day, and sometimes even longer, making sure they had fresh food, plenty of water, clean litter, and engagement. I especially appreciated how consistent and dependable she was with the daily care routine. One of my cats can be a little particular and attached to his usual way of playing, but Michelle made sure he was safe, cared for, and checked on. She also seemed to really bond with Emi, which meant a lot to me. It gave me peace of mind knowing they had someone patient and attentive coming by each day. I’d happily recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.
Rachel did an awesome job taking care of my two cats over a 16 day period. Her communication was great, and she took great pictures of my cats eating a playing. She also took care of the mail and trash. I would definitely rebook Rachel as a sitter, and strongly recommend her as a sitter!
Katherine was fantastic with taking care of my plants while I was on vacation. She is extremely friendly, courteous, and detail oriented. She followed detailed instructions without any problems. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking to take care of their plants or animals. I will be using indefinitely.
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!
