“I had a great experience with Emily! She was punctual, reliable, and followed all of my instructions exactly. She took great care of my cats and made sure everything was done just as I requested, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was dependable and attentive, and I really appreciated knowing my cats were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible cat sitter, and I would happily book her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since 2019 using Wag and just having my own pets. I’ve converted my second bedroom to a pet play room for your babies to have the time of their life while I work from home! I also have very friendly and playful cats who love dogs, cats and ferrets! They are allowed to sleep with me and lounge on the couch while we watch movies and try new snacks! I’m currently working from home so I’ll be with your pups and cats all day, and on weekends we hike if your fur baby is up for that! If not, we spend the whole day watching movies cuddled up and taking walks around the neighborhood and there is a dog park on site as well! Trips to Petsmart for a new treat or you is definitely a must once I log off and I truly love to make them a part of my family. Pets are allowed wherever I go so that I can keep an eye on them. I keep them on a feeding and walking schedule and they are on leash during the entire walk. There are plenty of toys and there is a play pen in my home as well for small puppies who may get into things. I do not provide a crate but if needed, please bring one and let me know how often they are in their crate or if it is simply their safe space for naps and such! I try to keep them out of crates as much as possible so they can enjoy the trip and feel as much at home as I would want my pets to feel. Please review policies below. --- 1. **Drop-Off Times**: Please be punctual with drop-off times. I am available and waiting at the scheduled time, and it is important to respect my availability. Consistent delays are not considerate of my time. I will not be adjusting drop off times for rate adjustments. 2. **Errand Fee**: If your pet requires additional items and I need to provide them, a $10 errand fee will be charged in addition to the cost of the items purchased. This fee does not apply to cat litter or if your dog runs out of necessities that you have already provided towards the end of their stay. 3. **Late Pick-Up Policy**: - If you are more than 2 hours late for your scheduled pick-up time, half of the daily rate will be charged. - If you are 8 hours late, a full day of boarding will be charged. - If you are 12 hours late without communicating a new pick-up time, I will be required to surrender your dog to animal control. This policy is in place to prevent abandonment, as some pet owners have previously left their dogs with me for extended periods without notice. Please note that I am a professional pet sitter, not a personal acquaintance. 4.**Crate Policy** All stays that are longer than 48 hours require a crate be provided by dog owners. For the safety and wellbeing of your pet as well as my own, I require all pets be crated while I am not home. This ensures their safety and security at all times.
About: I have a Chihuahua dog who is 6 years old, I have been assisting her in two births, I have been with her mother. and I have another male dog that is 4 years old. I love them with all my heart and I would like to work helping dogs who have no way to go out while their owners work. I take my dogs out to relieve themselves three times a day, and once for a long walk.One day they eat chicken, the next day they eat eggs, and I mix it with their dog food. I take my dogs outside to walk and do their physical business. I do this 3 to 4 times a day. And since they are chihuahuas, they like to be with one, they are next to me when I am watching TV. They only eat boiled eggs , chicken and dog food.
“My first time using Jules and DEFINITELY NOT my last. Jules was responsive and interactive with both of my dogs. She played with Roman and rubbed Coco like the princess she is. We will be booking again.”
“10/10, I would absolutely book with her again! She made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Elias was on time for each visit and took great care of our senior golden retriever. Unfortunately, our golden had a few accidents and threw up on his doggy bed but Elias cleaned every mess without complaint and kept us informed. Overall, we are very pleased with how our fur baby was cared for. Would book again!!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! Lots of photos of our pup, great detail in the reports and super friendly. Definitely made leaving our pup for an overnight stay easier. Would highly recommend!”
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 have over 6 years experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s routine and personality, whether that means extra walks, extra cuddle time, or a calm and patient approach with shy pets. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m also reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. I'm currently staying at home, so I have very flexible dates and times for walks, also for overnight care of either short or long term. If the pet care is in my house, I have a fenced in backyard with lots of space to run around and sunbathe, and also a all weather sunroom, so even on rainy days everyone can get a little peak of the backyard and do some birdwatching! No kids or pets, two adults. If the care is in your home, I'm comfortable with indoors or outdoors playing and also walks. Just show me around, give me instructions and I will be happy to follow them!
“Alyssa is so kind and quickly became one of Oliver's favorite people! She's responsive and communicative and I never had any concerns or worries for Oliver's care while she was with him.”
About: I work from home so my schedule is flexible around you! I only take one dog at a time (unless you have two that are familiar with each other) so that they get my full attention. As a longtime dog owner I know how important photos and updates are! I have a fenced yard, free treats, a clean dog proofed home where your dog will be safe, spoiled, and happy! I work from home so I can work around your schedule! I’m available Monday, Thursday, Friday and weekends! I’m available anytime of the day that works best for you. Also happy to do multiple walks per day if needed. I have a fenced in yard, and a 6 year old German Shepard/hound mix who is very friendly. We have a fully dog proofed home and lots of experience walking!
About: I am a big animal lover! I have had many animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pig & ducks!) I also pet sit for a family who had 3 cats, I have worked with them for 1 year now. I currently have an orange tabby named Theo, he is my world. Me & my spouse adopted him 2 years ago from the Humane Society & he has been the perfect addition to our little family. I am here to love your fur babies! Please feel reach out me with any questions. Thanks! I work a regular full time job. I have fostered 2 cats before and it was a wonderful experience. Most of the time spent with the cats, would be in the morning and all evening long after work to take care and love them. I have an apartment building that is very secure, you can only gain access the to building if you have a key fob. The animals have plenty of space to move around and be free, or sleep super comfy on my furniture.
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: I have owned dogs my whole life, and know how to take care of them. I also have experience with cats, I have helped my grandfather with a stray cat that chose him! I'm openly available, as of today. I like to volunteer, but that usually only takes about 4 or 5 hours. I will give your pet the time it needs. You make sure that they have plenty of fresh water, eat on time, and walk them every day when the sun is not too hot, eg in the morning or evening.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Linthicum Heights
Megan was amazing! Coco is a very cautious dog, so she took the extra time to get to know her before a family trip and that made a world of difference to us knowing that we didnt have to worry about coco being too anxious while we were gone. On top of that, coco started having tummy troubles while we were gone, and Megan made sure to be super attentive and communicated through the whole trip to make sure we were as up to date as possible. Ifbi could rate her more than 5 stars I would!
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.
Kathryn is amazing! She was extremely attentive to my puppy. Each and everyday she went out of her way to care for my puppy. She put my puppy’s needs first I would recommend her service over and over again. Whenever I need support, Kathryn will be my first call.

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Linthicum Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
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 Meet & Greet .
