“Bridget is great with our dogs, she takes such good care of them! She was able to help us out on very short notice, and did a wonderful job taking care of all 4 of our dogs, and followed our instructions to the tee. Very quick to respond, and good with communicating during the check ins as well, we got lots of photos so we could see the dogs were doing well. A+ sitter, will be booking again!”
“Heather was amazing taking care of Finn. She even entertained my cat Faith that would pop out during her visits. I would recommend her and book her again.”
About: Hi, my name is Jennifer and I'm new to Rover but not pet care! I have passionately been working in Animal Care, Welfare and Rescue for 10 years now, my entire adult life! I have 10 years of history working in doggy daycares with dog and cat boarding and animal shelters. I have also volunteered with dogs, cats, rats, goats, pigs, horses and more. Anywhere from fostering, TNR programs, to PetSmart adoption centers for kitties, transportations/freedom rides and on farms. I am skilled in nail trims, bathing/brushing, basic positive reinforcement training, medical/geriatric needs including handling medications, and I'm educated in dog and cat behavior. My pet sitting experience includes dogs, cats, bunnies and small animals such as rodents for the past 10 years. I have pet sat for family, personal friends and their families, and people I have randomly ended up befriending at dog parks, hiking or in the animal care jobs I've had! I love when animals and pets bring people together. I have grown up with dogs, cats, bunnies, rats, birds and even iguanas. My dream one day is to own my very own sanctuary/rescue on a farm. My beautiful family includes me, my wonderful husband Henry, our 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 rat and our medical foster kitty. I not only look forward to meeting your beloved pet, but you as well! I am opening my schedule full time for pet care services. I have decided it's time for a new journey and continue growing my animal care skills. With my 10 years experience, passion and incredible attention to detail, I am confident I will be a good fit for you and your pet. I've spent years cleaning up some of the dirtiest kennels you could imagine but I love to clean in my general life so when it's for an animal, even better!
“Elizabeth was a great communicator and I felt safe leaving her with my cats. We were worried about our boy needing medication while we were gone and she was wonderful and got it done with no issues.”
“Jackie was so communicative and caring with our two cats. They warmed up to her very quickly and were in great hands. Will gladly work with her again.”
“We had a last minute need come up and Kaitlyn was very quick to respond. It was a comfort to know she would be so well cared for!”
“Erin was nothing short of amazing! I loved the photos she sent everyday and she also sent very detailed notes about how the daily visits went (which helped calm my anxiety). I was super impressed with how patient she was with my more shy/anxious cat, and how she was able to get him to come out and play (which he normally never does with strangers). I will definitely be using Erin’s services in the future!!”
About: My sons and I love dogs and are eager to play with yours. We're an active family capable of lots of play- long walks, hikes, fetch, tug of war, etc. Previously, we had a Rottweiler for 12 years. I'm available 24 hours per day 7 days a week in the summer time when everyone is off from school except during specified dates for personal travel. Expected travel dates are currently 6/30-7/13. I have a large backyard (no fence) with plenty of space and shade. We are also adjacent to a small park and enjoy long walks and hikes. I'm capable of taking dogs in the car to visit dog parks or go for some hikes.
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! This was the first time we used the app and went away for an extended time. She provided updates and was super patient with my dog who was super anxious. Thank you again,”
“Tyler was super patient and considerate during the visit. Really appreciate he could drop in with such a short notice.”
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 at home. Im currently not working for the summer so I'll have plenty of time to play and take care of your fur babies with all the love. 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
“At first we were so anxious about leaving our kitties with someone we didn't know, but Victoria is fantastic. She has great communication, was great with our kitties and was always respectful of our home. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. I can walk, play, feed, clean-up after, and administer medications to your animals. I have most experience with cats and dogs. I'm a full-time teacher, but I am mostly free in the summers. I do not do overnights because my own senior cat needs me. I am happy to do weekends during the school year :) I will take care of your animals as instructed by you. I will update you on the visits/walks and send pictures as proof of the visit.
About: Hi! I’m Lexie (Alexandria for long), and I’ve been assisting in animal rescue since I was born! I’m a recent college grad, and I can’t think of a better way to earn a couple extra bucks than to get to play with animals. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents, reptiles and more, I'll love them all! My phone is glued to me, so I’m always easily contactable. Can’t wait to meet you! I'm gone for work 7:30AM-5:00PM Monday-Friday, and I'm off Saturday and Sunday. For weekday house sitting, as long as your pet is okay being left alone during those hours, I'm still happy to do it! While I don’t have any professional vet training, I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications when necessary. I always walk on-leash for your pet's safety.
“Carrie took great care of our cats!”
“Always willing to do what is needed. Brittany is very trust worthy and does well with my dog.”
About: I have been caring for dogs for the past 25 years. Additionally, I have been actively involved with the MD SPCA for the last 8 years, both through volunteering and fostering. My dogs, both past and present, have been rescued. It gives me such joy and happiness seeing dogs come out of their shell when they realize they are safe and loved. I am accessible for drop-in and feeding visits on a weekly schedule from 10am to 7pm. Should there be a need for visits outside of these hours, it will be based on my availability. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood where we can go for long walks. I also have a fenced in yard where the pups can relax and engage in activities if they prefer.

My dog, Ryder, is a sweetheart and loves to play with his doggo friends -- I know that he would be amazing company for your pet. I can happily and easily crate your dog if need be, and will provide plenty of photos to keep your mind at ease.
