Hannah is awesome and so good with our animals! They warmed up to her right away, even our super shy kitty. She is very thorough and not afraid to ask questions to make sure the animals are taken care of perfectly. She was very patient and easy going after we had some issues with getting her in the house. Will definitely be my go to sitter for my fur babies from now on.

We absolutely love using Caitlin and will only ever use her when possible! Our animals are always extremely well taken care of and the communication is more than we could ever ask for. We always know our furry friends are in the best hands when we have her check in on them. Will reccomend over and over again!

This is the second time I have had James come and care for my cats while I am out of town. He was very communicative and gave detailed updates and pictures of my cats which was really nice. I would definitely recommend him if you need cat care!

About: Moved to Lexington Park area from being stationed in Japan! With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs, I know that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’ve raised three dogs and currently have both a poodle and a cat. My skills include puppy training, crate training, basic command training, and managing pets with medical needs, including medication administration. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs, allergies, and maintaining breed-specific grooming standards. As a passionate pet lover, I volunteered with the Red Cross animal visitation program while Active Duty & St Mary Animal Humane Society. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I work part-time and live 10 minutes from my house. I always check in on my pets during lunch. My husband works nights so he is home while I’m at work and we switch. I have a fenced yard, and lots of dog friendly walking areas. I have two friendly pets who do very well with other animals. I crate my dog when I leave home for safety & use cameras to check in on them.

About: Taking care of domestic and exotic animals growing up was an enjoyable, it gives this heartwarming feeling. I have over 15 years of experience of taking care different pets. I am willing to go out of my way for my pets, friends, family and new clients. I helped with dogs birth, puppies care, and senior care. I have a set schedule for my dog from the time I wake up to going to bed at night. Feeding, exercise and playtime will be tracked so you know your pet is getting what they need. I will obey all rules and schedule that is given to me for the best care for your pet. Your pet is in great hands, playtime and optional bathe will be included in house sitting so you can come home to a happy and clean pet if they end up having too much fun outside.

About: I am a teacher and I have taken care of many dogs my whole life. Personally, I have three dogs, two golden retrievers and one golden doodle. I have dog sat for friends and family with many different breeds and in different locations over the years. I can help walk your dogs daily or help drop in on them during your vacation! I am a teacher in Calvert county during the school year. After middle of June, I will be free to walk or dog sit all day everyday unless I am booked ahead of time. I have three dogs of my own so I already am used to walking dogs and taking care of them all hours of the day I have a small fenced in area and a crate where I am located. I also have easily accessible areas for walking and enjoying the outdoors. My three dogs are friendly but I am also willing to come to your house for walks, check-in’s, or dog sitting if that is preferred. I have experience with going to others houses to dog sit. For walks, I can do short walks or long walks depending on owners requests.

About: I have always been around all different animals all growing up, and understand it comes with patience, and love most of all . I have always believed animals have feelings just like we do as humans ! I’m currently working park time and am available any time of the day/night except Tuesdays & Thursdays. I can come in and play , go on a walk , feed, and sit and show love . I can come into clients home, and focus entirely on the animals giving them the care they need while understanding it is not my home .

Zenie is such a sweet and kind soul! She was really great about sending updates with photos of our pups. Zenie also did a great job at cleaning up muddy prints from the floor since it was a little rainy while we were away. 😊 She even left a such a thoughtful note and "ducked" me since she is a fellow Jeeper. We look forward to booking with her again!!

About: I work from home with a flexible schedule. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well. No matter the age, the work day is a long time for them to be alone and I’ll get them outside for potty and back in for some pets and snuggles. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. I have base access and can also get them to the vet if you can’t get away from work. I will come over and ensure your home is safe and secure upon entering and leaving. If they’re not sleeping in the living room I’ll go find them in the house and get them outback in your fenced yard or on a walk to get their potty and exercise break in.

Leah has great response time to anything I needed and went over an extra time when I was worried about something small. The animals all seemed to respond well to her and she spent a nice amount of time playing and petting them so they didn’t feel so lonely!

About: I have a golden retriever of my own, and have been dog sitting, walking and taking care of other families and friends dogs for about 5 years. I am home from college for the summer, and taking classes at night. I am available during the day and mornings, and have fairly open weekends. I have experience walking pets, feeding them, giving them medication if needed, or just spending time with them while their owners are away! I love sending photos and videos to their owners while they are away.

Linda is wonderful! She does great with 3 very crazy huskies so I’d trust her with any dog :) I’m happy to have found her, as someone who also is a Rover sitter in my free time I’m glad she is around to take care of my dogs when I can’t!

Okay, here's a review you can use for your cat sitter: I can't say enough good things about Kasenia! Leaving my cats with someone is always a little stressful, but she put my mind completely at ease. Kasenia sent me daily updates and photos, and it was clear my cats were getting lots of love and attention. I came home to a happy and relaxed cats. Highly recommend!
