About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been working with pets since I was 14. I’m passionate about helping animals and have experience supporting injured animals by getting them to rescues or helping care for them until they could receive proper support. I also have a dog named Oliver, who I adopted from a shelter 8 years ago, which has strengthened my patience and commitment to creating a calm, safe environment for pets. im full time in school at towson but my schedule is pretty flexible:) especially on the weekends or after or before classes im available completely I tend to be very cautious about who watches my dog because I care about him deeply and know he has a unique personality. Because of that, I’m always happy to follow any rules, preferences, or routines that help someone feel more comfortable. I truly understand how hard it can be to trust others with our fur babies, and I’m willing to go above and beyond to help create a safe, comfortable environment.

“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.”

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 have a big 2 bedroom condo and 2 kitties who love other animals! I am also able to follow any crating instructions your pet may require.
About: My dad was a veterinarian and my mom was a vet technician, so I've always lived in a house full of pets. I've taken care of and house-sat for both dogs and cats, and even had a few goldfish. I've taken care of dogs of all ages growing up and love watching them grow! I'm currently awaiting an assignment on a wildfire team, so currently have plenty of time to go for walks and check in on pets/ When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are maintaining their established routine, ensuring their safety, and providing reliable peace of mind for the owner. * **Following Established Routines:** I strictly adhere to the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and house rules. Keeping their environment and daily rhythm consistent helps minimize stress while their family is away. * **Safety & Home Security:** I maintain complete focus on safety, ensuring all doors, windows, and gates remain secure. During walks, I stay vigilant of surroundings and leash mechanics to avoid potential hazards or unwanted interactions with other animals. * **Attentive Care & Exercise:** I provide high-engagement attention, whether that means active exercise, interactive play, or quiet companionship depending on the pet’s energy level and age. * **Respectful House Care & Communication:** I treat the client's home with absolute respect, leaving things tidy and secure. After every check-in or walk, I send a brief update with photos so the owner knows their pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I approach every home visit with patience, clear attention to detail, and the same high standard of care I would expect for my own pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pikesville
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog while we were out of town! We really appreciated the updates and the love you showed him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would definitely trust you again and highly recommend you!
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!

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.
