“Nicole did a really great job with our boys! She went above and beyond and even bought them doggy ice cream because of the hot weather. I’d recommend her to any of my friends or family. She always replied to my messages super quickly, and provided updates along the way. Thank you for taking such good care of our doggies in our space!”
“Lydia was wonderful with our dog Buddie! Lydia was very attentive (separation anxiety) and treated Buddie with love and care! We felt at ease knowing he was in great hands.”
“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
“Ty is super helpful and communicative! And our cat loves him! Cat barely comes out to play with other sitters, but Ty always seems to entice our cat to play, and sends pics. Thanks Ty!”
“Christine was very responsive especially considering this was a last minute request! She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout the day. It helped me be more present at my work conference knowing that they were in good hands”
“Jack & Dalara have quickly become our go-to sitters in Baltimore. We’ve been through a few sitters and these two are the first that I feel confident in recommending to my fellow pawrents! We receive daily updates with tons of pictures and our pup always looks SO happy while he’s with him. They always leave our house clean and tidy and grab mail for us too! They go above and beyond and we are so lucky to have found them. You truly can’t put a price on knowing your pets are happy and taken care of when you’re not there! Thank you guys!”
“Natalie was amazing! Our dogs loved her right from the start. She did a great job watching our house & pups while we were on vacation. She was a joy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Gavin is the absolute best! He cares so much and gives thorough updates on our pups, which allows for such peace of mind while we are away from them. Our girls would welcome him back anytime!”
“Hannah took such great care of our boy Murphy while we were away for the weekend! She always takes him on plenty of walks and sends us regular updates throughout her stay. Bonus points for being able to house sit as well. We always look for Hannah when we need somebody to watch our furry friend!”
“Bria was fantastic. This was our first time booking with her and the meet and greet went smoothly. She took excellent care of both Hampton and Neko and kept our home clean and tidy. We felt completely at ease while we were away. We are already looking forward to having her sit for us again soon. Highly recommend.”
“Kathleen helped out last minute with a dog sitting for our girls and we couldn't be happier to have had her watch them. She was really sweet to them and sent updates while we were out of the house so we felt very at ease.”
“Moriah/MJ was absolutely great. We had a weird situation (sitting 2 dogs at an airbnb while we went to a wedding), and not only did she roll with it cheerfully, she made us feel completely secure about our pups' safety and happiness while we partied. One of our dogs can be distrustful of strangers but she also was easily comfortable with MJ. Definitely recommend!”
“Louisa did a great job with Wilson and Chicken while we were out of town! She was responsive and shared updates for what they were up to and how they were doing.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats regularly since I was 15. I have experience in basic training as my family dog is a former working dog. Feeding, potty breaks, walks and playtime, & bathing are all things I can help you and your furry friends with! I am a school counselor working Monday - Friday, but am available most weekday evenings & weekends for drop-in visits/walks. I will also have more flexibility July through mid-August, as I will be on summer break. Please check my calendar for my most up-to-date availability! I am happy to care for your pet in whatever way is best suited for you. Routine can be so important for animals, so please let me know how I can best keep it consistent for you and your pets!
“Vita was absolutely incredible sitting Eeko while we were gone! He can be a handful at times with his puppy energy, but Vita handled it extremely well and went above and beyond what we could have asked for. I cannot recommend Vita enough for any pet care you need!”
“Jessica was fantastic with our two pups. Very attentive and a great communicator as she kept us well informed on how our dogs were doing each day. Our two pups took to her quickly. I would highly recommend Jessica for anyone in need of a great pet sitter!”
“Just wow. Emily stayed at our home for a little over a week and cared for dog like he was her own. Our dog is anxious and has leash reactivity as well as some long term health issues. She was knowledgeable in handling him and managed his daily med administrations. Emily also went above and beyond by doing two in-person meet ups to get acquainted with Bouldin, snuggled with him, and bathed him prior to our return. We will be a customer of Emily's for as long as she will have us. Light years better than any dog resort/boarding facility.”
About: I'm based in Federal Hill. I've grown up around animals, mostly dogs of all sizes and cats. I love pet sitting for friends and family, and I've begun fostering kittens from local shelters in recent years. I work from home and regularly go on walks throughout my day already, so I'd love to take your furry friend with me to help them get some energy out. I have a soft spot for cats especially and have one of my own as my little wfh coworker. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility especially during the weekdays to do drop-ins, go on walks, or keep your pet company while you're out of town. I'm free some weekends for the same so just check my availability! I can work with whatever environment you and your pet are most comfortable in! I don't bring your pet to my home or car. I'm very careful to always leash dogs and not let cats outside. I can do drop-ins at your home, walks around the neighborhood, and hang out with your pet at your home in their familiar environment.
“Tracey took care of our dog while we were away, and we were happy with the updates she sent us. She offered to do a meet and greet, and we could tell right away her sweet nature towards animals. Happy to have found her and we will book her services again in the future. Thanks Tracey!”

Keegan B.
“Keegan has been an incredible caregiver for our dog, Jebediah, a lovable but high-energy bloodhound doodle! From the moment they met, Keegan showed a natural connection with Jebediah, handling his quirks with patience and care. Keegan went above and beyond to keep Jebediah happy and healthy, making sure he had plenty of exercise and playtime. Keegan’s commitment and attention to detail—whether keeping Jeb’s feeding and walking routines or giving him extra love and attention—put us completely at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a more responsible, loving pet sitter. Highly recommend Keegan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring person to look after their furry family members!”

Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kathleen took great care of my 12-year-old dog at my home for the weekend. She asked great questions about my dog’s care before the weekend and sent regular updates while I was gone. Best of all, she is warm, funny, and a great person to get to know! Your pets will be in fantastic hands with Kathleen!
Jeannie is awesome! She stayed with our dog for a week and took such good care of her and of our house. I highly recommend her.
Audrey was terrific! Stayed at our home for a few days to take care of our golden puppy, and she handled him expertly! She was very communicative about questions and about how he was doing, and sent us regular pictures. She’s a great dog photographer too! She was very respectful of our home and our preferences with the dog, and we highly recommend her!
Bria was amazing once again. She took great care of Hampton and Neko and kept everything in order while we were away. I appreciate how communicative and reliable she is. It’s always a relief knowing our pups and home are in such good hands.
Christine was so wonderful! She house-sat our two dogs for 5 days. We felt very comfortable and at ease with her from the very first time we met her. She was so great with both of our dogs. She gave us frequent updates, and our dogs were very well cared for. Highly highly highly recommended!!
Sage is absolutely wonderful. She has wanted my tribe of 3 a few times and the all adore her. She asks questions if she has any and is responsive.
My second time have James stay and watch the house. He was awesome both times! House was left cleaner than I left it and my dog was happy to have him stay!
Danielle is so friendly and reliable! We felt at ease knowing she was checking in on our cats and giving them love! She even sent pictures and videos! Well definitely use her anytime we’re going out of town.
Olivia took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. Our pup is older so we were anxious about leaving him but Olivia was very communicative and sent the cutest photos throughout her stay. We hope to use her again in the future!
Great service for house sitting. It was my first time booking her, but she asked appropriate questions in order to understand my dog's needs. My dog warmed up to her and Vita was able to take care of her and feed and walk her while I was gone.
Emily went above and beyond to ensure our anxious cat felt as comfortable as possible during her stay. One of our kitties requires medication and Emily followed instructions to the “T”. Upon our return, the house was clean, cared for, and our kitties were very happy. We are certainly looking forward to working with Emily again!
Kelsey was communicative and responsive, and we came home to two happy pups! Would definitely book again!
Melanie was great. She spent lots of time with our dogs and cat and gave lots of updates and pictures during our trip. We felt really comfortable that our pets were well cared for and would definitely book Melanie to pet sit again.
I will admit I was very, very nervous about using Rover for the first time - none of our go-to friends and family were available and we thought May would be a great fit and we were right! We came home to happy animals, all of our instructions were listened to and she even checked to make sure we got home ok in case we needed extra help! Would absolutely re-hire and are very appreciative.
Hilary was great about checking in and updating us while we were gone! She took great care of our dog and we felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands with Hilary!
I can't recommend Daniela highly enough! She was absolutely incredible with my dog, who is usually nervous around new people. From the beginning, she was patient and gentle--my dog warmed up to her more quickly than she usually does. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When my dog wasn’t eating, she didn’t just let me know—she went out of her way to help troubleshoot and make sure she was okay. That kind of attentiveness was so appreciated! If you're looking for someone who is communicative, kind, and truly loves dogs, Daniela is the one. I will absolutely be booking with her again!
Nicole was great! Nicole watched our three pets during a short trip. She was very responsive and sent pictures of the pets throughout. We were a bit nervous about hiring a pet/house sitter because our dog can be anxious about strangers, but Nicole won her over quickly. Nicole also picked up and administered medication for one of our cats and ran the dishwasher before we returned. Thank you Nicole!
Mary was awesome and took time to get to know my cat and make sure he was comfortable while I was out of town. She followed all the instructions and was very kind and communicative!
It means so much to us for our pets to be able to stay home in their familiar surroundings when we’re away. Our two dogs and cat were healthy, happy, and well taken care of.
Kirsten was incredible. She gave us so many updates and pictures throughout the booking and showed our pups a lot of love. They are very high maintenance and require medications throughout the day and follow a pretty strict routine - Kirsten was helpful and ready to assist with all of it. She was also great at communicating and helpful when it came to us traveling back home and not knowing exactly when we would arrive. I have never felt this at ease when going on a trip and leaving my babies. I’m so glad we found Kirsten! Will definitely book with her again.
