About: I have always been great with animals, I was raised on a Farm and I would enjoy working with animals on a daily basis ! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Whether it's going for walks, providing companionship, or paying attention to their needs, caring for pets brings me joy and fits perfectly with my active and compassionate lifestyle. I care for pets by following their regular routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In both my home and a client's home, I provide fresh water, meals as directed, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, ensuring they receive the care and companionship they need while their owners are away.
“Bronte was FANTASTIC! She took great care of my boys, went above and beyond to give them special care and time, and did everything I asked of her. She was friendly and so kind and amazing to work with.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old and have grown up with both bunnies, cats and dogs of all sizes, giving me over 13 years of hands on experience. Throughout the years, I’ve helped with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I’m committed to following your instructions and providing patient, dependable, and loving care. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply giving your pet companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own pets. I am currently working part time so I am available early morning and afternoons up until 3/4/5pm during the weekdays and weekends. Pet care has been a part of my daily life since I was a child. I currently care for my own cats every day by feeding them, cleaning their litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I also have experience caring for dogs, including walks, exercise, feeding, and companionship. I work part-time in the evenings, which leaves my mornings and afternoons available for pet care. When house sitting, I’ll make sure your pet’s routine is followed closely and that they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed and instructed), playtime, and any special requests. I prioritize your pet’s safety by keeping a close eye on them during walks and outdoor time, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I also understand the importance of respecting your home, keeping it clean, and providing regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel happy and cared for in the environment they’re most comfortable in their own home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Owings Mills
Jason was fantastic with our dog while we were gone. We were a little nervous since this was the first time we had left someone unknown with our dog and our dog can be a little “weird” in general when we leave him. However, he came downstairs every time Jason came without a problem. We got updates every time Jason came to the house which included pictures. He also independently initiated bringing in our packages and asking if we would like him to take our garbage to the curb. This was a great first experience using Rover and Jason and we will definitely be using him again in the future. Thanks again for everything!
We had a great experience with our sitter! Despite inclement snow weather, she was dependable and showed up as scheduled, which we truly appreciated. She followed all of our instructions carefully and took excellent care of both of our dogs. It was such a relief knowing they were in reliable hands. The best part of my day was receiving the videos and photos. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to others. This was my first time using this service and she walked me through it as well.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Owings Mills 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. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
