“Judy did an excellent job caring for our Twin cats Salt and Pepper while we were on vacation. We came home to a clean place and happy cats. Judy provided pictures and great communication throughout the duration of the task. Salt and Pepper would be very exited to see Judy again”
“Rebecca gave our four kitties excellent care in our home during our time away. She was patient with our more timid pair and attentive to our outgoing duo. From her regular updates and photos we knew they were in their normal home routine. Our outdoor plants got extra attention during an extended heat wave. We look forward to booking Rebecca for our next trip.”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with our dog Java. We needed someone in a pinch to watch Java for about a week and we are soo glad we found Jessica. She came over for a quick meet and greet and we knew it would be the right fit. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for a variety of dog breeds and ages. They’re all deserving of quality and consistent care that I can provide. Count on me! I’m a homemaker with a flexible schedule for you. I’m available for morning walks, afternoon check in, evening walks and whatever else your fur baby needs. I am attentive to my elder dog’s needs making sure to provide assistance as she walks up and down our stairs. When doing in home visits I am respectful and mindful to leave the home as it was when I arrived.
About: I have been helping out taking care of dogs of my own and others for years. I enjoy and value the opportunity and chance to make each dog feel loved and cared for when their families aren’t around. I’m currently in school full time pursuing a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I am available in the afternoons/evenings on the weekdays and all hours on the weekends to care for your dog. I will provide care that meets your expectations and your dog’s needs whatever that is. I respect the differences in pet owners care and will meet your requests! I love taking dogs on walks and spending time giving them extra attention.
“Tanya was great to work with and was great with our two dogs. Our dogs are a bit tentative when meeting new people, so Tanya was great with letting them get acclimated with her before leashing them. She is very responsive and easy to work with!”
“They did a great job! Our dog is high energy and can be a lot to walk so we were appreciative to have knowledgeable dog sitters that took great care. Will for sure be using again!”
“Megan took excellent care of my Kitty girl! Kitty doesn’t take to strangers quickly but Megan took the time to gain her trust and make her feel comfortable! So grateful for her care. Thanks again Megan!”
About: I started dog sitting in college, and now, four years later I have become the go to person for a number of friends, family and more. I'm currently between school programs, with ambitions toward grad school. I have a lot of free time on my hands and want to do something more useful, why not make it fun as well. I'm big on actually spending time with your pets, whether it's taking them out to play around or just sitting around with them while they rest. I will always take into account how you normally take care of your pet and do my best to keep them on their regular routine.
“Terri was a terrific addition to our pups needs! Prompt, reliable, and does exactly what we ask of her. We couldn’t be happier with her services. We will certainly be using her going forward.”
About: With 15 years of dog care experience and a lifetime surrounded by dogs, I’ve cared for every personality—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I understand how important routine, comfort, and playtime are. I’m flexible with visits—weekdays or weekends—and happy to handle meals, walks, meds, playtime, and plenty of belly rubs. Whether your dog loves active fun or quiet companionship, I provide a calm, loving experience so you can relax while you’re away. I just recently moved from Ohio to Maryland and am currently in the middle of a career change. With my passion for people and pets, I thought this was the perfect time to join Rover! I’m very flexible and can easily accommodate a variety of schedules—weekdays, weekends, or last-minute visits. I’m dedicated to making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve whenever you need it! I prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort above all else. I live on a peaceful, spacious golf course with very light traffic, providing a calm and secure environment for walks and play. My home features a large yard where your dog can run and explore freely. If your pup enjoys the company of other dogs, there are two friendly, well-mannered neighbor dogs nearby for supervised playdates. I will treat your dog like my own—with love, care, and attention—so you can feel confident they’re in safe, dedicated hands while you’re away.
“Once again, Jenny was absolutely great with our cats. She gave wonderful updates every day including pictures and videos! She pays attention for any issues and has great communication. She asks questions for clarification to make sure she is doing everything the way you would like them done. We appreciate her so much and will be booking again. 💜”
About: Hi my name is Fran. I’m a stay at home Mom in Mt. Airy with a 2 year old and 5 year old and infant. We live on 5 acres, all fenced, across from the state park and in addition to 2 dogs have horses, chickens, and barn cats. Both me and my husband have owned dogs all our lives, as well as worked in animal care. Professionally, i have experience as a barn manager, dog groomer, dog walker, trainer, and dog handler. I boarded dogs while attending college in Richmond, and took a break to focus on my career. Now that I have more free time I’d like to start up again as I absolutely love it!!!! I care greatly about dogs and make sure that they are well taken care of with plenty of love and exercise. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all of my life. As a little kid my childhood dog was my constant companion and when I wasn't with him I was with the neighbors' dogs. In my twenties I moved to Alaska where I pursued a career in dog mushing and for two years lived with 120 dogs! Unfortunately due to frostbite I had to move back to the east coast. Meet my pets I have 2 dogs, Cash an Australian Shephard and Littles a mutt. Both love to play!! Cash is a puppy and will play all day long!! He loves every dog he meets. Littles is 14 and recently lost his sight, he’ll try and keep up with Cash but mostly he just loves to sleep. I also have 2 horses, Shadow and Dandy in their late twenties, too many chickens, and a barn cat. About my yard I live on five acres across from Patuxent State Park. We have a huge fenced in backyard, with lots of trails in walking distance! My experience administering medication Yes I have no problem administering medication. I’m currently a stay at home mom and almost always home so your dog will never be left alone for long periods of time!! My 5 year old is great with dogs and will give your animals plenty of love and attention!!! We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run! Your dog will be let out frequently and get plenty of exercise!! I try and take the dogs for a long walk at least once a day. Your dog will have free roam of the house, but we are more than happy to crate if you provide one. Our dogs eat in the am and pm, however we can accommodate your dogs feeding schedule.
About: I have lived with a dog my whole life. I walk, feed, and play with my 170 lbs mastiff. I also walk, feed, and play with my neighbors 3 dogs, one of which has trouble walking and getting up and down the steps. I currently work about 4-5 days a week, hours ranging from 8am-3pm or 12pm-3pm. So I have all evening and night to be with dogs, and can stop in before I go to work. If the house does not have a fence I will keep a leash on at all times to help ensure the dogs safety and help prevent them from running away.

Jack Russells, Happy and Harley, and they are absolutely obsessed with her. Lauren doesn’t just check the boxes, she goes above and beyond every single time. Long walks? Always. Tail wags? Constant. Adorable photo updates? You bet! She’s incredibly attentive, genuinely loving, and treats my pups like they’re her own. Whether it’s braving the weather, handling their quirks, or just giving them the extra love they need, Lauren never misses a beat. She’s prompt, responsive, thoughtful, and hands-down the most trustworthy person I could’ve ever hoped for.”

Frances D.Star Sitter
“I asked Fran to babysit my puppy Misha while I went out of town for a week(she's six but she's a puppy to me). She impressed me when she first arrived and immediately had a rapport with my babbies . She had her in her lap in minutes curled up in doggy heaven getting petted. I have never seen her take so quickly to a stranger. I swear by the end of the week you would have thought that she had known her for years. She is the best dog sitter I have ever had. She was respectful and polite and I will definitely hire her again in the future. Also my babbies didn't pick up any bad habits while she was sitting. I've had sitters in the past that Misha would tug on her leash after they sat her, and she also started begging after this one sitter. After Fran took care of Misha she was perfect with the leash and was just as well behaved as normal. She just seemed happy and energetic at the end of the week.”

Jenny is a pro handling our two senior cats’ meds and feeding preferences. She is very communicative about the details of visits and even lets us know when she observes potential health issues. Most importantly, the cats approve of her too! I highly recommend her especially if your pets need more complex care.
