About: I've taken care of a multitude of pets since I was 8. Pet owners have relied on me to feed, bathe, walk, play with, and take care of their fur babies! I'm not currently working full time, so I have time to take care of your babies! I don't have a set schedule, so we will make sure we are on the same page before services start! I have a cat of my own, so I understand the level of cleanliness and safety needs inside the home! Communication is always key to ensure you and your pet's safety.
About: I have six years of hands on experience with dogs, including volunteering at the Baltimore SPCA, where I handled intake, socialization, and daily care for dogs of all temperatures. I have also trained the dogs that I have had. I work full-time, but my schedule rotates every three weeks — so I always have afternoons free after four, plus two full days off each week. That means I’m available for midday walks, evening visits, and weekend coverage without any gaps. My dogs get a set daily rhythm in the morning and evening walks, scheduled meals, and plenty of rest so I know firsthand what a consistent routine looks like from the inside. Also I follow the owner’s routine exactly feeding times, meds, play, potty breaks and send photo updates after each visit so they always know how their pet’s doing.
“Kaitlin arrived on time, took our dog out in this frosty weather and managed to get Bentley moving despite the snow and ice. She is very friendly, responsible and conscientious- I felt comfortable when I first met her and I’m very happy with the quality of her work.”
About: I am a huge dog lover. I have had many years of pet sitting experience. I always connect with dogs, and they always love me. I treat every dog like they are my own, with love and compassion. I love to play with dogs and take them on long walks. It's very important to make sure that they are having the best time possible. I used to have a dog of my own, but she unfortunately passed away several years ago. I am grateful that I got to spend a wonderful 14 years with her. Taking care of dogs provides me with joy and happiness. When having a dog around, it's like having a best friend by your side. I look forward to taking care of your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, and I would make sure every pet receives plenty of care and affection while their owner is away. I provide loving, attentive, and responsible care for pets in their own home or my home, depending on the service requested. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of affection and attention. I also respect each owner's instructions, take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs, and provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I started pet sitting a couple years ago to make money during school, and it's the best job I've ever had. I love all types of animals, though dogs are my specialty. People often say that they have never seen their shy pet warm up to anyone as quickly as they did with me. I am also trained in dog CPR and Heimlich and willing to learn how to care for any special needs your dog may have.
About: Hey, I'm Stephanie! I'm a dog walker and pet visitor based in Baltimore. I walk dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I also do drop-in visits for cats—basically any furry friend you have at home. I've been around pets my whole life. I’m currently a cat mom to two very energetic kittens and helped train my father’s boxers. I volunteered at an animal shelter in Washington state for years until recently relocating to Baltimore. I'm patient, reliable, and great with anxious or high-energy dogs. I'm available Monday through Friday from 7am to 2pm. I live in Charles Village and work from home, so I can fit walks or visits into my schedule easily. Let's make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve! My sons bus picks him up at 6:15 am so I have the entire morning and afternoon to care for your pet until about 2pm I understand every animal is different so I’m willing to be as hands on or laid back as your pet needs me to be and I’m very understanding towards anxious pets that need me to build their trust and affection
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals! I’ve grown up with lots of cats, dogs & more! I currently work at my local animal shelter as a Behavior trainer, and I treat all of the fur babies as if they were my own until they get their furever home. I care about each of them and only wanna make them feel love special and cared for! Since I'm working part-time right now, I have plenty of open time to dedicate to your fur baby. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. My days are flexible, so I can give your pup my full attention - whether that's a nice long walk, playing fetch at the park, doing food puzzles for mental enrichment, or just hanging out for lots of love and pets while they enjoy a bone. I'm happy to stick to whatever routine makes them most comfortable. As the owner of a 1.5-year-old rescued Doberman mix, I understand how much care, exercise, and enrichment dogs need to thrive. My boy gets daily physical exercise plus mental stimulation through enrichment, puzzle toys, and Kongs. I bring that same standard of care to every pet I watch - just let me know your pet's routine and needs, and I will follow it to the T. As for Safety is always my #1 priority - whether we’re out and about in town or on a quiet hike in the woods.
“Roy is great, he is very patient and really worked well With my dog. I am so appreciative to be able to have his help. Im excited to know I have someone to rely on when I am working late and can’t get home to walk the dog”
About: I absolutely love dogs! I adopted my puppy from Paws Crossed Rescue in Elmsford, NY. There were so many families that wanted him they had to do a lottery and we got him!! Taking care of your fur baby is my priority I do real estate and make my own hours so I'm always available. I work from my home so I can be home for my dog as well I really enjoy bonding with dogs whether taking them for a good walk or playing with them in your home and feeding them if needed.
“Holly loves our dogs, and isn’t at all afraid of walking them both simultaneously (100 lbs of dog!) our dogs took to her right away and always come back happier than they left. Will absolutely be reaching out to her again for more walks. Thanks Holly!”
“Communicative, attentive, and super kind to Oliver! I was in a bit of a bind Evan was able to take my big baby out for his afternoon walk. Super thankful! Will be using him again in the future. If you need someone who is reliable, kind, and genuinely loves dogs this is your guy! Oliver said you did a great job! And thanks you for letting him stop to smell all the trees…”
About: I've been around and cared for dogs for years through my own pets and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and making sure dogs get plenty of attention while their people are away. I also genuinely enjoy walking! I’m already someone who gets outside for walks regularly, so your dog’s walk won’t feel like something I’m trying to rush through between other tasks. I’m happy to give them time to sniff, explore, get some exercise, and enjoy being outside. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated, and treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I work from home in the Baltimore area, which gives me flexibility during the day and makes me a great option for weekday walks and drop-ins. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s instructions. During walks and drop-ins, I make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime and plenty of attention. I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s preferred pace, whether they love a good long walk or would rather take their time sniffing and exploring. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Samantha hooked me up last minute when we started an unexpected event and needed immediate recurring care. She's polite and responsive, and knows how to handle a weird finicky dog. My dog seems to love her!”
“Tracie is amazing. She has saved the day for me a few times already with last minute walks. She is wonderful with my dogs and always takes lots of pictures and gives them lots of love and attention!”
About: Hey there! I'm Ambrosia! You can call me Amber. I've been caring for pets for as long as I've been caring for babies. See it goes hand in hand. Every baby that I've nannied usually has a furry frind with them. The fur baby came first then the actually baby. When caring for the baby I often took a liking to the furry friend too. That meant playing and feeding the dog whenever I wasn't taking care of the baby. Often times I would let the dog out to do his buisness. When the child got older and we went on walks the dog of couse came too. As a former athlete and someone who lives an active lifestyle, I love going on walks and runs. So if your dog is a runner that's no problem for me; just let me know. Just like kids, I can understand the fustration when a pet does not listen. Being a nanny helped me to gain a lot of patience, so if your pup isn't a good listener it's ok! Ms. Amber has the time to wait it out. On the other side of that we all love a little reward so don't be shy to let me know if you have a reward system for your pet. I love dogs yound and old! As caregiver I strive to give your pet the best experience while they are in my care. I look forward to meeting and tking care of your furry friend! As I am not working a traditinal job right now, my schedule is pretty flexiable. Pet care can fit into my daily routine around your pets needs. Whether that be for an early morning walk or a a mid day pop in for cuddles and play, I can be the sitter you rely on. When caring for your fur baby in your home, I strive to keep a clean and safe enviorment for your pet and myself. Any mess that might have been made while caring for your pet will be cleaned up. I want your pet to have the best experience with me and whatever malkes them comfortable with me I'll do. I understand that we all need time to warm up to eachother. I keep a calm attitude and love to givethe equal amout of space and cuddles.
About: My name is Cydnee, and I grew up in an animal loving house. My mom is an animal lover, and naturally so am I. I love all types of animals... small rodents, dogs, cats, reptiles, birds. I love them all. I have been gentle, caring, and loving with animals from a young age. My first ever pet was a guinea pig, I had two of them. From ages 8-12, and took care of them myself. I would change their litter, feed them, play with them, and of course make sure they were healthy and happy. I've had two fishes, and a bunny, as well as taken care of family members dogs and cats for periods of times while they were out of town. I love animals so much, and I am grateful to be able to spread my love for animals by taking the time to care for other fur babies!

“Payton and her dad were fantastic and flexible sitters for my dog! Payton was very responsive, very prompt, and very flexible with pick-up locations.”
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: I have had pets since a child (duck, rabbit, dogs, cats, iguanas) and just love them. I let dogs take their time when exploring and I don’t rush them unless I see that they have found a Scooby snack. Most dogs prefer to sit in my lap even when in the presence of their owner. They love me and I love them even the sassiest of them. I work from home which allows me to be available 24 hours a day. If your pet is a foodie, they will love it here (salmon bites, duck necks, chicken feet, ice cream, pup cups and frozen fruit on hot days). I will send an update the first evening and the morning after so you are certain that they have settled in. Thereafter I will send a picture or video daily but you are welcomed to check in at any time. My assistant Imani (my mom who lives with and assists with sitting), also enjoys loving on and helping with your babies. She may help with check in/ check out and walks. **I now have a cat and cannot accept dogs that aren’t cat friendly. I also cannot accept unfixed dogs and dogs that aren’t housebroken. I walk 3-5 miles in the morning and another in the evenings (less depending on the weather). I would love to take your baby along. I have a friendly dog. I use baby gates and can also crate your dog (you must bring the crate with you). They would sleep in my bedroom on the dog beds and have free range of the house (except the kitchen which has a gate up).
“Yeji came three time a day to walk Eilidh while I was recovering from surgery. She was friendly, communicative, and arrived on time. Most importantly, she treated my fur baby well, giving her affection and some much needed exercise/potty time. I will definitely reach out to Yeji if I ever need help again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pikesville
Thomas walks Atlas 3 times a week and he is always very communicative and cordial. He is attentive to Atlas' needs and adapts well to both our dog's size and leash reactivity, knowing when to change routes, take a break, or return home early if needed. Atlas is always thrilled to see him and comes home satisfied from their trips. Thomas is also very observant of any physical changes to dogs in his care and has good instincts with how best to proceed during unique situations. His background in Canine Search & Rescue no doubt helps Thomas get a feel for new animals quickly and was one of the reasons we initially reached out to him. Having Thomas as a walker has been a wonderful experience and our buddy is benefitting greatly from his expertise.
Jeremy is a wonderful walker for us! Atlas took to him immediately and is always excited to see his new friend when he arrives. They get along great, Jeremy is very attentive to his needs, and Atlas returns home thoroughly satisfied after each trip. Jeremy's experience with dogs has been a huge boon; he handles large breeds well and has a unique insight to their behaviors thanks to his time working with sled dogs.
Kaitlin arrived on time, took our dog out in this frosty weather and managed to get Bentley moving despite the snow and ice. She is very friendly, responsible and conscientious- I felt comfortable when I first met her and I’m very happy with the quality of her work.
David was absolutely excellent both professional and personable and my dog Cody loves him. He is the best that I have ever had on rover.com We appreciate him and highly recommend him to Everyone! He also very generously helped me with a few tasks, Clean Cody’s dog water dish and filled it back up and he took my garbage out So highly impressed with him! I was recently attacked by a dog and had surgery and can’t walk for a few months, so everything that he has done has been a wonderful added touch, his kindness & generosity has touched my heart. David is definitely a wonderful man, reliable, responsible, respectful, and many other great traits . Definitely a pleasure to meet him & his wonderful self.
Our experience with Erika was extraordinary. She is caring, compassionate, and Egan gets excited each time she comes. Thank you for supporting our family in these challenging times and we will definitely be contacting you for our future needs and refer you to our friend group 🐶❤️

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Pikesville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
