“I highly recommend Nataly, she was amazing with caring for my cat Mango! Communication was excellent and I could tell Mango felt safe and had fun with her. She sent lots of photos and updates, and there was a small issue that came up which she handled very quickly and calmly and kept me updated the whole time. I would love to have her cat-sit again sometime!”
“Concise communication and great work sitting for Cosmo and Washi. Jun was able to quickly handle a last second request I made on the busy holiday week and the cats were well taken care of!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a proud cat parent to my own cat, I know how much peace of mind matters when you have to leave your furry family members behind. While I'm new to the Rover platform, pet care is second nature to me—back in college, I regularly helped my classmates with pet sitting, looking after both dogs and cats. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat needs some gentle loving attention, I treat every pet with the exact same care and devotion I give my own. Because I work remotely and part-time from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I am basically free and can easily find time for your pet any day or any time. Whether it's a mid-day walk or constant companionship, we can easily figure out a routine that works best for you and your pet! Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Whether I am dropping in for pet sitting or taking your dog out for an engaging walk, I treat every pet with the utmost care and respect. As an experienced cat owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to respect an animal's boundaries, safety needs, and home environment. You can count on me for clear communication, reliable updates, and treating your home and pets like my own.
“This is the second time Leah has watched my cats while I’m out of town and she is definitely my go-to cat sitter! She is thorough, gives my cats lots of love, sends great pics of them, and my cats love her. I totally trust her taking care of them while I am out of town and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
About: Growing up, caring for animals wasn’t just a hobby—it was a responsibility I took on from a young age. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve been helping stray animals by providing food, basic care, and safe spaces whenever possible. That early experience shaped my deep understanding of animal behavior, especially with shy, anxious, or previously neglected pets. In addition to hands-on experience with strays, I’ve volunteered at pet rescue organizations where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, socializing animals, and preparing them for adoption. This has given me experience with pets of all temperaments, including those who need extra patience and attention. Pet sitting has become a steady and meaningful part of my daily routine while I am unemployed. It gives structure to my day, keeps me active, and provides a sense of responsibility. Caring for animals, managing feeding schedules, and ensuring their comfort helps me stay productive while also earning some income and maintaining a positive mindset during this transitional period. --- I do not have pets of my own, but I provide attentive and reliable care for pets in both my home and my clients’ homes, depending on the service requested. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, while also ensuring the home remains clean and secure. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with regular supervision, exercise, and consistent routines to help pets feel at ease. My focus is always on maintaining the pet’s normal schedule and providing a calm, caring experience.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. My family has owned dogs throughout my life, and I currently have two cats of my own. Through both personal and family experience, I have cared for pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I am a responsible, dependable, and caring person who understands that every pet has unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets while you’re away, and I strive to provide reliable care and peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a high school athletic trainer, my schedule becomes much more flexible during the summer when school is out. This gives me additional time throughout the week to dedicate to caring for pets and ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins into my daily routine comes naturally. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand the importance of consistency and reliable care. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, a long walk, or extra companionship while you’re away, I have the time and flexibility to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable. I do not take care for animals in my home due to two cats already at home. In your home, I will be respectful of your space and the time that I have with your pet
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and nothing brings me more joy than the look on any dogs face! I also volunteer at BARCS when I can, so I am experienced dealing with dog breeds of all shapes and sizes. I also enjoy running so if you’d like your pup to get some extra exercise don’t hesitate to ask. I am currently employed full-time. My schedule is flexible enough that I would be able to take care of your dog any day of the week, I would just need some time in advance to make sure. I currently live in a house in Highlandtown very close to Patterson Park. I also live with an extremely friendly Siberian Husky, so they would need to meet beforehand.
About: Hi, I’m Emily and I’m new here! I’ve been a dog lover my whole life. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and now as a young professional, I have one of my own, Maverick, a very spoiled German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees rescue! My passion for pets grew even more when my sister started her own pet services business, Kailey Walks Dogs, in Salisbury, MD. Whenever I have extra time, I head to the Eastern Shore to assist her and shadow her during appointments. It’s given me valuable, hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable working with pups of all temperaments. Having a reactive dog myself, I understand how overwhelming and sometimes isolating it can feel. I’ll always take the time to get to know you and your dog and work with whatever makes them feel safe and comfortable. I can’t wait to give your pet all the love, attention, and pets they deserve! Fun fact: I can say “Can I pet your dog?” in five different languages! Not sure I can think of anything better than spending my weekend around pets! Most of my weekends are wide open. Just shoot me a message and we can figure out a plan! I’m detail oriented and committed to following your dog’s routine and specific needs. I’m also very active, so if your pup loves a high-energy lifestyle, I can definitely keep up! On every walk, I come prepared with treats, water, and dog deterrent spray to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
About: I’ve been around animals and pet care my entire life. My dad is a veterinarian, so growing up, I had the unique opportunity to learn about animal behavior and care from an early age. Because of that, I’ve developed a strong understanding of both dogs’ and cats’ personalities, body language, and needs. I have 8 years of experience walking dogs and providing drop-in visits, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and routines. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including tablets, ear drops, and eye drops, and I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m a proud dog and cat mom myself, so I know firsthand how much trust goes into leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Outside of pet sitting, I work in the research field at Johns Hopkins. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each pet I care for. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away! I have a flexible and hybrid work schedule, so I am able to accommodate drop in visits, walks and any other services needed. Happy to help!

“Alyssa was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my two kitties, sending regular updates and adorable photos throughout the 2 weeks we were away. They got plenty of love and attention. Leaving your pets behind can be stressful, but Alyssa made both my husband and me feel completely at ease. Thanks to her, we were able to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. We came home to two happy cats and a very clean house. I would highly recommend Alyssa and would love to work with her again!”

Pak Ki was amazing and I would highly recommend her! I was leaving for the weekend and my original sitter fell through relatively last minute, but Pak Ki was super helpful and was even able to visit for a meet and greet with the cat before I left. She was prompt and detailed in her communications and was able to administer my cat's twice daily medicine while I was away. Thank you again!
Brianna was a wonderful sitter from start to finish. She communicated clearly and often, sending updates so I never had to wonder how things were going. She followed all of my instructions carefully and paid attention to the details that matter for my fur baby. She was kind and gentle with my cat, and my nervous, shy cat took to her right away. It was clear my cat felt safe and comfortable in her care, which meant everything to me while I was away. I came home to a happy, healthy kitty and a well-kept home. I would absolutely book Brianna again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.
Alex was absoltuely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were doing well and were comfortable. She kept their litter box super clean and was always trying to find them when they were being shy to make sure they were doing good. I also very much appreciate the daily photos and thorough updates!
Anastasia was absolutely outstanding! She was able to accommodate our last-minute booking and took wonderful care of our two cats, including our 10-week-old kitten, who needs a little extra attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again. Highly, highly recommend!

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.
