About: Ive loved with a dog since high-school and have had cats on and off for years. I currently have a dog and pet sit dogs ( and cats) for fun. My own dog is well trained and very kind so you don't need to worry about your pet. I work full time but I have a very flexible schedule and I'm home during the weekends. Especially since I have a dog of my own. I have a friendly dog whose very playful and a lot of space in the house for animals to play. I already have dog toys and treats
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and it’s still one of my greatest joys. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to two pups: Roxy, my 16-year-old toy poodle with a sweet but sassy senior personality, and Pickles, our affectionate long-haired Chihuahua mix who loves everyone—dogs and people alike! Over the years, I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs with different temperaments and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and giving each dog the attention they deserve. I love going on walks and always enjoy bringing the dogs along for fresh air and exercise. My family enjoys having a house full of furry friends. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like part of the family in our home. I work from home, so when I board dogs, I am available to them all day and night. I also have my summers off, so I can make even more time for the dogs I walk or board in the summer months. In my home, safety and comfort are top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, and I’ve set up gated areas inside to provide quiet or separate spaces if a dog needs downtime. I have two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups, and my two children are gentle and respectful with animals—they love helping give our furry guests lots of attention and affection. I always take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet space, I’m here to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like a cherished member of the family. My hands-on pet care experience includes: Senior Dog Care & Special Needs: Over a decade of caring for senior dogs—including my own 10-year-old Chiweenie—so I’m deeply familiar with gentle handling, administering oral medications, adjusting to slower mobility, and sticking strictly to sensitive dietary routines. Feline Companionship: Experience managing feeding schedules, fresh litter maintenance, playful engagement, and reading cat body language to ensure they feel safe, calm, and respected on their own terms. Daily Walking & Exercise: Dependable, safety-focused dog walking structured around your pup's energy level—from brisk neighborhood walks to relaxed sniffing strolls. Balancing work, family, and daily commitments means my schedule is structured, reliable, and predictable. Because I manage my daily routines with clear flexibility, I can seamlessly integrate high-quality pet care into every morning, afternoon, and evening. Peace of Mind: Complete in-home reliability with clear communication and detailed daily photo updates after every visit, so you always know your fur baby is safe and content.
“Jasmine was very responsive to my messages and we quickly aligned on scheduling. Jasmine did a wonderful job handling my two very high energy dogs. I’m looking forward to Jasmine watching my dogs more in the future.”

“This was our first time having someone come to our home to check on our dog. He is 15 years old and we can’t board him anymore. I was very nervous but Sarah made it such a pleasant experience for us and our dog. She gave great information on how and what he was doing. She also took pictures during each visit which really kept us at ease. She took him for walks and applied frequent “spa” treatments with his favorite itchy skin ointment. I’m relieved to know that if we need to go away again, our dog and home will be in good hands! Thank you so very much Sarah!!”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of growing up with all types of animals and learning at a young age the responsibility of caring for them. I started pet sitting when I was 15 and have been comfortable with all sizes of dogs, cats, and critters in between. I am comfortable administering medicine if needed and have had experience doing so with my own fur babies as well as the ones I have cared for. I also have experience and am comfortable with caring for animals with anxiety. I know that it can be challenging finding the right person to fit the needs/wants that your companion requires and I strive to provide the dedication, patience, and love your friend deserves. My hours are flexible and I am able to make my own schedule for work, therefore I am able to accommodate the needs of your pets care at your convenience and am a very dependable pet care taker. I have always had so much love for animals since I was a little girl and that love has only grown more as I’ve matured. I know how weary it can be trusting a new person with something so precious to you and I want to be someone who can put your mind at ease knowing that your fur baby is in great hands! I am a very responsible, reliable, and loving individual who really enjoys caring for and being around animals. Your companion will get all the love and attention they deserve while in my care!
“My husband and I used Rover for the first time and Patrick & Bahiya made our experience a great one. They were professional and great communicators. I highly recommend them.”

“Megan was very prompt on answering my request. She was able to be to my house within an hour for my last minute request and was super friendly. She saved the day by letting out my dog and playing with him!”


“Liz spent considerable time getting to know my 'scaredy dog'. Without her willingness to move slowly and strategically, I doubt we'd have been successful with getting Sundae to the point where Liz could take care of her overnight. I really appreciate her efforts.”


About: Hi! My name is Emily. I am 18 years old and a huge animal lover! Growing up in a busy household with four siblings, I’m very used to a high-energy environment and know exactly how to stay calm and organized when looking after pets. I love pet sitting because it’s a great way to give dogs and cats the individual attention they need while giving owners peace of mind. Some of my favorite things to do are coaching softball and going to church, so I’m naturally active and love being outdoors for dog walks—but I’m just as happy staying inside to keep a cat company. I currently work part-time, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my weekly routine. I am happy to help with feedings, exercise, litter boxes, and of course, plenty of belly rubs or chin scratches. I’d love to help look after your furry family members! I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pets' needs. I am very organized with my weekly planning, so I can easily coordinate feedings, walks, and playtime around my softball coaching and other commitments. I’m happy to work with you to create a consistent routine that ensures your pet feels loved and well-attended while you are away. While I don't have a fenced yard, I am very diligent about keeping dogs securely leashed during all of our outdoor potty breaks and walks. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of supervised exercise and playtime while staying safe and comfortable in my care.

About: As a nurse, caring for others is at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of attention, patience, and responsibility to every pet in my care. I work only 2–4 days a week, and there is always an attentive family member at home, so your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and affection throughout the day. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including dogs and other animals, so caring for animals has been a lifelong passion.

Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor their care to their individual needs. My healthcare background has taught me to be observant, dependable, and detail-oriented, which is especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, following special routines, administering medications, or recognizing changes in behavior. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while ensuring their dogs feel happy, safe, and loved during their stay. 🐾❤️ Caring for fur babies naturally fits into my daily routine. As a nurse, I am flexible with plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. On the days I am home, dogs receive regular walks, playtime, attention, potty breaks, cleaning cages, and companionship throughout the day.

About: My love for animals started as a child!!! I've taken care of friends cats, dogs, fish, bearded dragon, and turtles. I worked at a animal hospital for 3 years as a kennel assistant. Working as a kennel assistant gave me experience working with all different types of cats and dogs. I have had animals my whole life thus far. I have a senior dog and a fish at home. I'm currently working during the week. but if you need someone to drop in and take care of your fur baby I'm certainly your girl!!! I will drop in to your home for your convenience!!! I'll play with your pet and give lots loving as if they were my own
About: Hi I'm Brittany! I love taking care of pets. I have had my own pets, house sat other pets, and even fostered for a local rescue! I grew up with dogs, but I have watched both cats and dogs before. I have experience with small and large breed dogs: Havanese, Pomeranian, Golden Retriever, Pit Bull, Great Dane, and more. I would love to help you take care of your pets through boarding, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks! I am excited to meet and take care your fur babies. If your pet has any special care needs let me know. Please contact me to set up any services, meeting you and your pets, or if you have any questions. I work full time during the week. I am usually home on my available weekends. I live with other adults that are more than willing to take your pets for a potty break! I care for pets on a case by case basis according to the owner's care instructions. Pets are always leashed outside and crated as needed based on individual needs.

About: I have experience taking care of a border collie, Australian Shepard, and a German Shepard. I enjoy walking around the city and always open to a companion or two joining me. I am able to host dogs at my place, with my German Shepard. I have a fully fenced in yard that all dogs can play in, and I can walk them around my neighborhood. I am also able to do drop in visits for dogs or cats and stop by to walk any dogs. I normally travel for work 3 days a week. When not traveling I am either working from home or have local visits. I plan out my visits so that any pets staying with me will not go longer than 4 hours alone. I will allow all dogs to roam freely while I’m at home and take a break to play with them, and my dog, for about 10 minutes every hour. It gets boring sitting in front of a computer. For any walks or drop ins the time is spent making sure they get plenty of stimulation. Whether it’s walking a new route or playing in the yard I have a fenced in back yard. No other dogs or animals get in the yard, except a squirrel or two. When walking in my neighborhood there is minimal traffic since it has no way for cars to go through it( a lot of dead end streets). I’m close to 695 so if an emergency happens I can get to many vets in the area fast.

Nathaly is caring and dependable. My pets look forward to their time with her playing and being snuggled.

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 Middle River choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
