“Aye did an awesome job! My kitten is special needs and takes medication, which Aye handled with ease. Aye gave a great report and sent cute pictures after each visit! Will definitely request her again the next vacation!”

“As a first time puppy owner, finding the right person to watch your fur baby is nerve wrecking. Riley was amazing!! She provided in-home daycare for our pup and kept up with his routine. She sent pics and videos of him and he seemed so happy. I’ll definitely be booking her again to watch or furry friend.”

“Ana did such a wonderful job with my dogs when they had to take medications, had an upset stomach or itching issues. She sent me photos and videos which really lifted my spirits. Ana is very attentive and asks about how you would like things done in your home. I have two small dogs and would recommend her. My two dogs have different personalities and she was great at helping them each at their own pace.”


“Chelsea is amazing! She took care of my kitty Gigi over the holidays and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She even went above & beyond by caring for a betta fish as well! Both were happy and doing so great when I came home. Thank you so much, Chelsea! ?”
“Lindsay was perfect! Communication was easy and timely, we met for a walk around our neighborhood prior to her watching our pup. She sent pictures during her visits with Buster and made sure he got all the pets and love! Look forward to booking with her again!”

“Brian M is fantastic! He is immediately established a relationship with both of 130 lb Great Pyrenees-they are truly excited to see him and I am confident leaving my children’ in his capable care.”

About: As a former dog owner, I’ve played a crucial role in nurturing our furry friends. Meeting all essential needs- and more- I have skills in training, caring for, and loving animals as they deserve. Coming from a pet-loving family, my experience dates back to my formative years. I am a graduate student and therapist, with enough flexibility and autonomy within my schedule to treat your pet with TLC! Thursdays-Mondays are my most flexible times, depending upon the service requested. Let’s chat and figure out what works best so your pet is cared for when you are away. I live in a pet-friendly community with ample outdoor space to go on walks. The phrase, mi casa es su casa, applies to all of my guests - even my 4-legged friends. Your pet is allowed to enjoy the space fully, and can also be crated per the owner’s request based on the dog’s usual routines.
“I feel like I left a review already but I don't see it so maybe I'm crazy. Anyway I have Samantha booked weekly to take my dog out. She is reliable and quick to respond, and very flexible, and great with my weird finicky dog.”


About: I’ve cared for a family dog and a dog of my own for 1 year. My own dog is a pitbull mix, who was high energy and untrained when I adopted him. I have experience with all kinds of training levels and dog strength and am excited to meet your animal! I also foster dogs when I can I work full time and am out of the house for 9 hours 8-5 Monday-Friday, but my routine includes feeding and a short walk in the morning, followed by an extended walk and dinner in the evenings. Lots of snuggle time at night! I live in a community with a lot of greenery and space to walk dogs, as well as a dog park for them to run around unleashed!
“We just started recurring services with Elizabeth, and she has been incredibly patient and loving with my dogs. One of my dogs is very afraid of new people and she has taken time to let the dog take his time getting to know her. She has been very respectful of my home and cleaned up messes as she sees them. Above and beyond service.”
About: I've taken care of pets all my life, with always having at least one dog and one cat at a time, but also having up to three dogs, one cat, and several fish as well. I love any type of animal, and spending time with them is very special to me. I am a very active person so walking your floofer is not a problem! I've also cared for senior dogs as well, as well as taking care of family's and friend's pets over the years. I am currently unemployed as I am a student in college, but when I come home from breaks I am very eager to make your lives easier and watch your pets for you. Since I'll be available mostly over the holiday season as well as summer, it's perfect timing for when you travel to see your family or go on vacations! I will follow any instructions given as to the best way to care for your pet, and I will make sure they're as comfortable and happy as possible!
About: I grew up with and surrounded by pets and have been helping pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors since I was 8 years old! While I do have a full time job, I have plenty of time to spare to watch and care for your pets over the weekends! I live in an apartment, so while I don’t have a fenced yard, my complex has a large dog park for plenty of exercise and playtime. For cats, my apartment has lots of space to roam, cozy hiding spots, and even a cat tree for climbing and relaxing!
About: I began seeking clients on Rover in the summer of 2025 as a way to make some more money for college and I love animals so I figured “why not!” - I found myself really bonding with every dog/cat I watched and cared for them as my own. I accept as many jobs as I possibly can because I understand the importance of having someone stay with your fur babies who knows how to care for them in all aspects. My 7 month old puppy died due to negligence from his pet sitter and got hit by a car. Due to that experience, I have shifted my focus to mainly Rover, hoping I can provide families with the comfort and assurance that I will care for their animals with the respect and love they all deserve. I have experience with all kinds of animals (even bunnies, horses, fish, and more!) I was a working student from the ages of 10-15 years old and have my own horse so big dogs don’t scare me. I know how to deal with skittish or aggressive dogs because I had to learn to groom my own goldendoodle as he got older and became unpredictable due to dementia. It is important for me to make sure the animals I look after feel heard, are never left alone for too long, and have fun during my time with them! Please feel free to reach out with any other questions!! I only have one other job exercising steeple chase horses in the early mornings so I have a lot of availability to make house visits or spend the day as much as you would need me to! I also love to go on walks and take hikes, so if I am looking after an Active dog it is no problem! If your dog likes to play with other dogs I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs of mine who are very friendly. I am very neat and organized so the chance of your animal eating something or getting into something they’re not supposed to is very slim.

Otherwise I am open to fit your schedule! Things may shift around as my I just started my job and my schedule may change. Since I will not be caring for pets in my home, it will entirely rely on the rules of the client's household. Any rules that are there will be followed to make sure your fur baby is safe and happy. Along with your fur baby, I can water plants, take in mail, or accept packages.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with a genuine passion for caring for animals. I grew up loving our family Weimaraner named Shadow and later owned a sassy Morkie named Ace, who brought so much personality and joy into my life. While I don’t have a dog of my own right now, I truly miss that companionship and love being able to share that care with other dogs. I work in healthcare, so being attentive, responsible, and safety-focused comes naturally to me; these skills and qualities I will bring to every pet and family encounter. I have spent my career working with children so I am naturally a very calm and patient person. I look forward to meeting your family and fur bestie! As a working mom, I’m available on evenings and weekends, and I’m committed to making sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for my dogs for about 9 years now, and they truly are my babies!! I currently have a Siberian Husky and a German Shepherd, and we recently added a Golden Retriever puppy to the family!! So my puppy skills are definitely fresh right now 😊 I’m very used to high energy dogs, lots of playtime, long walks, mental enrichment, cuddle sessions, and making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether your dog is super playful, shy, or just wants extra TLC, I’ll always treat them like one of my own. I recently graduated from UB with my bachelor's degree and am currently in the process of applying for jobs! That means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the week, so I’m typically available whenever you need care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make things as easy as possible for both you and your pup. Your pup's safety and comfort are always my number one priority. I make sure to follow your instructions exactly, whether that’s feeding routines, walks, meds, or small things that help your dog feel at ease. I’m very mindful during walks and outdoor time, always keeping dogs securely leashed and being 100% aware of our surroundings. When I’m in your home, I respect it like it’s my own space. I keep everything clean, double check doors and gates, and make sure your pup is safe and settled before I ever step out.
Pikesville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kristen A. is a lifesaver! I ended up having to go to the ER after thinking I can just get taken care of at the urgent Care. That led to almost a full week Hospital stay, my pup Oreo was home and because I didn't know how long I'd be there thinking maybe a day or so I decided maybe to try doing drop-in appointments and allowing him to stay home. She came faithfully twice a day giving my dog so much love and attention! She is very good with communication giving updates on how he was doing and sending copious pictures, and very sensitive to my situation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for drop in care!

Shakiyla was an absolutely fantastic sitter! She is so knowledgeable about how to care for a big, very loving but also high energy dog like my Alba, and I felt very comfortable knowing my baby was in her care while i was so far away. She is professional, kind, responsive, and an excellent trainer as well, and I will absolutely be requesting her services in the future. Highly recommend, especially if you have a bully breed dog!
