“Lydia did an amazing job watching Nina in our home. She was super communicative and went above and beyond by providing us with plenty of updates and taking care of our home. She was willing to work with us to communicate when we were off the grid which made us feel so comfortable. Nina was happy and relaxed when we got back. We would for sure hire Lydia again!”
“Hannah was absolutely incredible! My dog has a special condition which means he requires pretty constant supervision, and she was so accommodating. I felt really comfortable leaving him with her. She provided me with thorough updates while I was away and was happy to answer my questions! I highly recommend working with Hannah.”
“My dog seemed very happy and my house was well looked after. Gavin was great. Very loving and attentive to my dog. I got pictures daily and that gave me peace of mind.”
“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!”
“Desiree watched our fur fam for us over a long weekend. She went above and beyond what we asked in regards to care and walking! We got timely checkins, pics, and thoughtful updates. We will gladly use her services again in the future and highly recommend her if you’re looking for a genuine caregiver for your pets while you’re away.”
“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!”
“Our first time using Rover and we feel so lucky we were able to schedule with Moriah! She's so kind, super responsive and professional. She sent plenty of pet photos and updates. Definitely hoping we get to schedule petsitting with her again for our next trip!”
“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.”
“Carlos took amazing care of our pup for the week. He sent lots of photos and spoiled her with yogurt pops—after asking us to be sure it was okay :) We would love to have him watch our girl any time.”
“Emily took such good care of my two senior dogs. Very kind and patient, and also left my house in great condition after house-sitting. I would definitely recommend and will contact for sitting in the future. Thanks, Emily!”
“where do I start?? Jade and Johnny were the BEST pet sitters I have ever had, hands down. They watched my 6 month old kitten Cody for about 6 days and FAR exceeded my expectations. Jade was so, so generous with her time. She came early every morning, spent almost the whole morning with Cody until nap time in the afternoon, then the whole evening until he went to bed. She sent me photos, videos and updates frequently and really made me feel SO at ease and comfortable while I was away. She treated Cody like he was her own, which is so much more than I could have asked for. 🫶🏽☺️ Cody needs lots of play time and grooming, and Jade went above and beyond. She wrote him the cutest report card, gave him a bath, and played with all of his favorite toys! They are both so reliable, deeply caring of animals, and all around wonderful sitters! Their love for animals shows in the way they care so much for them. Cody was so happy to be with them and I’m sure he misses them a ton. I would 10000% recommend her and Johnny to anyone looking for a sitter!! 🥹🫶🏽 thank you, Jade for taking such amazing care of Cody.”
“Jessica is a great dog sitter. We’ve used her a few times now and she’s great. She takes such good care of our dog, and gives him so fun walks everyday. Much appreciated.”
“I would give Tracey 10 stars a million times over if I could!! It feels like an absolute gift to have stumbled upon her Rover profile. We’ve been struggling with cat sitters for years, and after working with Tracey, we FINALLY feel so happy to have found someone trustworthy, loving, caring, responsible, and communicative. Our cats have NEVER felt comfortable with strangers, but Tracey was absolutely incredible at getting the kitties to warm up to her, and we know they felt extremely safe with her. She sent frequent pictures so we always knew our babies were happy. And she left our home spotless and in great condition. We are so thankful for Tracey and can’t wait to use her services again next time we travel! Thank you Tracey!”
“Gloria is a fantastic sitter. She took care of my dog, Max, while I was traveling abroad. She gave regular updates with pictures and I came home to a happy, healthy Max. My dog loves Gloria — I bet your dog will, too!”
“Emily was wonderful to our boys! Very responsive, accommodating, and kept in touch throughout her stay. We loved that she was always outside playing with them as that’s their favorite thing to do!”
“Kirsten is amazing! She took care of our puppy Harvey she kept me updated with pictures of him. He’s shy around strangers and she made him feel comfortable around her. Definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I’ve been the go-to dog walker for friends and neighbors, and for over 4 years, I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter walking, bathing/grooming, and playing with dogs of all kinds. I really do love every dog I meet—big or small, young or old, energetic or more easy goin. When I’m with your dog, I’m fully present, making sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for until you’re back home! I work my day job Monday through Friday. So, I am available to be with your dog(s) in the afternoons starting around 1:00pm (exceptions occasionally)! I am comfortable using a crate, fencing, doggy doors, etc. to ensure the dog is comfortable and things can stay consistent / routine for them!
“Really pleasant and easy to communicate with. Corrine was attentive to the care instructions and even continued to take Auggie out for an extra long walk when we got back earlier than expected. Would definitely recommend Corrine if you ever need someone trustworthy to take care of your pup 🐶”
About: I have extensive knowledge in taking care of pets, as it is something I’m quite familiar with. As a pet owner myself, I recognise the great quality care that our animals need, and I am prepared to use my knowledge to the best extent of my abilities to ensure your pets service. As a current student, I do reserve time for myself and my studies, but this does not mean i won’t dedicate the time that your pet needs to take care of them. My optimal pet-care hours are in the afternoon and could extend into night time service if need be. I am experienced in taking care of pets such as dogs and cats. As a caretaker who has extensive dog care experience along with being a current cat owner, I am capable of handling tasks such as potty breaks, serving them food, and taking them outside when necessary.
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!

17. Taylor H.
“Truly, so impressed by Taylor’s connection with our pups. One of our dogs is incredibly anxious and reactive, but turned into quite the velcro dog for her. The other is high energy, and Taylor matched that energy by taking her out regularly and giving her full attention. For all the ways she’s loved our dogs well, and the fact that she’s just a funny and trustworthy person you enjoy having around, I cannot recommend Taylor enough.”

19. Alejandro S.
“I’ve known Alejandro since we were kids and he’s always been very caring and kind towards everyone and he loves pets and animals im general. He had a cat that he cared for and loved very much. I’d never see them apart whenever I’d come over. Hes also one of the most disciplined and responsible people I know.”
20. Carina S.
“Our young and energetic Golden Retriever, Gretchen, had a super fun week under Carina’s care. She received lots of walks, playtime, and snuggles. Carina kept us up to date while we were gone by sending daily updates and photos. When we returned home, it was obvious that Gretchen had been well-cared for and. I highly recommend Carina’s services and will definitely book her for our upcoming travels!”
