“Irene is simply fantastic. She is prompt, asks a lot of questions to ensure she is prepared, and quick to respond. She has been kind when our schedule has changed and my dog loves her. Cant recommend enough!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I regularly dog/ cat sit for my neighbors since I was 10. Sometimes I like animals more than people. I’m currently a part time student at Towson with a part time job, Monday through Thursday. I have plenty of breaks throughout the day to spend with your pet! Your pet is welcome anywhere in my apartment! Bring whatever toys/treat you want. Whatever makes them comfortable! I will love them like my own!!
“Maria has been great for me and my dogs. She immediately won them over during our meet and greet. She send regular updates and photos which are much appreciated while I’m gone. I can also tell she truly cares by the questions she asks regarding the dogs needs.”
About: I have taken care of pets for most of my life, (dogs and cats).. Our last dog lived to be almost 17 due to great care and love. I welcome any pets. i will care for them as they are mine. I am a retired nurse practitioner and home most hours of each day. We live in a dog walking community and close to parks ideal for long walks. Loch Raven Reservoir is close to our home with many great trails. I have a fenced yard with a pool. I would not leave any dog alone in the yard, our neighborhood is great for walking. I will only take pets friendly to children.
About: I am an enthusiastic and active animal lover with over 20 years experience. We live across from the Loch Raven reservoir within walking distance of many hiking trails. We enjoy playing with our pets in our fenced in backyard as well as taking nature hikes on the many trails across from us. Growing up, we had a dog and two cats. Currently, I delight in taking care of our 10 year old cat and 3 year old dog! I love being active with animals and walking them. Our house and yard are very pet friendly! I also am comfortable with admin of needed meds and grooming. The pets who stay with us are welcomed as part of the family. For boarding, we can accommodate one dog per night. We do not board cats. We have a fenced in backyard with about an acre of land. We have a 3 year old dog who is friendly. We have a shy 10 year old cat who will hide from other animals that she doesn’t know. We have hens, but they are fenced in completely.
“Did great with my pup! Shes a hit or miss with new people but Jalen made sure she felt safe. My pup came back in the house from the walk happier than ever. Will be booking again sometime in the future !”
“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, both drop in and overnight visits, for two years now. I’ve dealt with small and large dogs and know how to handle them. I’ve grown up with multiple dogs in one house and know the different needs each dog requires! I am currently on break for summer from college so I am available anytime throughout the week and weekends. If you are booking day of please be aware I may have other arrangements but for the most part I should be free. Any rules and information I need are required before I enter the home. And for non emergency appointments a meeting with the dog and you present is preferred.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and have never gone a day without an animal in my home. I love connecting with animals, making them feel safe, and respecting their boundaries. I've also had multiple dog care professionals in my life, groomers and trainers, who have helped me understand the better the basics about dog care and general wellbeing. Though my experience is mostly with cat and dog care, I am excellent at following instructions and feel comfortable proving care for all animals! I have a completely free schedule! I can accommodate pretty much any schedule for pet parents! This includes any pets that do better with solo care! I care for your pets the same way I care for mine, with love, respect, and immense care. Any care needs you have, walks, feedings, crating, I can accommodate! After 3 years as a teacher in k-12 environments, wrangling a few animals will be much easier than the 30 I'm used to!
“In the short time that Elise helped me with my dog she was very responsible and truly helpful. She was always very communicative and very positive. I will definitely look for her again. Very reliable!”
About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!
About: My mom is a veterinarian so I have always been around animals. I have fostered and cared for many animals throughout my life having grown up on a farm. I also am currently training a service dog which is very rewarding! I am home from college right now, so my daily life doesn’t really change much. I am pretty much available for your animal at any moment of the day! I want to make sure your animals feel safe in their space without you for a little while! I want to disrupt their routine as little as I can and my priority is caring for them!
About: I have loved and cared for dogs since I was a child. Neighbors and friends have always trusted me to look after their pets, knowing the genuine care and affection I provide. Over the years, I decided to turn this passion into a meaningful part of my life. With over 10 years of experience, caring for pets has become more than a job—it is truly my passion. I also have experience training puppies at home, helping them develop good habits and positive behaviors from an early age. I understand that leaving your pet can be difficult, but you can feel confident knowing they will receive the love, attention, and dedication they deserve. I ensure my home is a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment—your pet’s home away from home. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to ensure timely feeding, regular walks, dedicated playtime, and close observation of each pet’s behavior. On a weekly basis, I carry out hygiene tasks, check supplies, and monitor overall well-being. I focus on maintaining consistency, as it helps reduce stress and supports each pet’s health and happiness. “I provide personalized pet care in both my home and my client’s home, always following each pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, and any special needs. In my home, I offer a safe, secure, and pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced yard to ensure dogs can play safely. In a client’s home, I maintain their routine to reduce stress and ensure comfort. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication with regular updates to owners.”
“Heather was amazing. Even though my pup was a little hesitant to warm up to her she never gave up and eventually they became cuddle buddies! Heather went above and beyond what was asked of her - I am so happy to have found her and am grateful that in the future I have someone I can count on to take care of Piper :)”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my genuine love behind it. I grew up helping my mom care for our cats and cats in need and got my first dog in second grade, which taught me responsibility early on. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and I treat every animal with the same care and compassion I grew up with. As of right now I’m taking a gap year and working part-time in order to figure out what I want to do. Which means I have plenty of time during the day to play with and keep your pet happy! I’ll care for your pets in your home by following the routine given, keeping yours and their space clean, giving them plenty of walks, love, playtime, and attention, and sending regular updates so you always know they’re safe and happy while you’re away.
“I tried Rover for the first time and would recommend Lina without hesitation. She provided her services on a somewhat last minute basis and was very communicative and provided updates.”
“Christine was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t be happier. She responded quickly and communicated well at every visit. She sent me pics of my pup on every walk and my mind was at ease knowing she was getting taken care of with lots of cuddles!”
Providence dog parents share their Rover experiences
We loved having Michelle sit for Penny! The whole experience was completely seamless. Michelle followed Penny's normal walking routine perfectly, so Penny barely noticed we were gone. She is super responsive and wonderful with updates. We will absolutely be booking her again!
Ugo does an exceptional job walking my pup (who apparently considers humans to be her butlers) and then watering and feeding her at the conclusion of the walk. She is very calm and gentle to which my dog responds well. She is definitely a dog whisperer. Highly recommend Ugo to care for your for babies.
Carys was great with Harley! She always gave her long walks, was super kind, responsible, and easy to talk to. Communication was always great and I always felt comfortable knowing Harley was in good hands. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she works with. I would definitely recommend her!
Sophie was wonderful with my pup!! She was kind, patient, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. What I appreciated most was her flexibility. She was willing to meet with me and my dog on short notice, which meant a lot!! She was friendly, reliable, and her communication was top tier. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker. I am rebooking her right now :)
Janelle, Joanna and Gwendolyn walk my mom’s dog every Saturday and Sunday. I love that the three of them team together to ensure one is always available. We LOVE them. My mom has granted them granddaughter status and I love them too. They love our dog, Bela and Bela is so excited when she sees them. I highly encourage anyone who is looking for someone reliable and sweet with both animals and people to consider this wonderful team. I can’t recommend them enough.
