“Brittany was fantastic as my cat sitter taking great care of my "Babba" as I just returned from a 5 day trip. Her love of cats, attention to details, promptness, tidiness, etc., etc. was exceptional! She is also so nice and easy going. I highly recommend Brittany for anyone looking for a reliable, trusting, kitty loving sitter.”

“Jessica has been amazing - she’s very easy to work with, pays attention to details, and even goes above and beyond. Our dogs love her and we will look forward to having her watch our dogs again!”

“Lauren did a great job caring for our senior dog Roman while we were out of town. She asked lots of questions about his preferences and the care instructions during the meet and greet. Roman seemed to really enjoy Lauren’s company!”


About: I’ve recently started pet sitting for friends and family and found it very rewarding. At home I am use to looking after my dog Remy who is an 90 pound poodle mix along with my cat Mia. They both are a handful but they are members of the family that have prepared me for looking after others. I am currently attending graduate school and am looking to start work near my home. I am always looking for opportunities to pay my way while helping others. I will work to make time in my schedule to accommodate yours! I always try and be friendly and patient. At home my dog Remy takes medication nightly while also having quiet the personality. His boisterous nature can be hard to rein in but when he is given his time he settles.
“Kal was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our cat during drop-in visits and kept us updated. What stood out was how thoughtful and attentive she was when there was an unexpected power outage and fire alarm in the building. She noticed the alert in the neighborhood, went out of her way to drive back and checked on our cat to send us an update and photos to reassure us that she was ok. It gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was out of the city. Kal was incredibly reliable, communicative and genuinely caring. We would absolutely book with Kal again and highly recommend her!”

“Grace did a very good job of feeding and playing with our cat and giving him affection. Our cat is very fond of her so we felt completely reassured that our cat was happy when we were gone.”


About: I have been watching a dogs of family & friends over the years and have some free time. Happy to help doggos get a few walks in during their parent’s 9-5. I am currently unemployed(by choice) and live in Locust Point. Currently have the time to assist others with their doggos AND I love walking. Got to keep our steps up! I have watched many a doggo at my house and am very safety conscious with my house. Maybe not baby proof but its dog proof lol.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with two dogs: a 12 year old Golden Doodle and a 4 year old Cavapoo, so I’m very familiar with both senior dogs and younger, energetic pups. While they are my family dogs and not currently living with me, I’ve been involved in their care my entire life, handling walks and daily responsibilities, especially when my parents were at work and I took on most of their care. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like my own and enjoy getting to know their personalities! I work in the office Monday through Wednesday from 9:00–4:30, so my availability is a bit more limited during those days. However, I’m available during evenings on those days for walks or drop-ins. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, which allows me to be much more flexible throughout the day for pet care. Weekends can vary for me—I tend to be busy Friday evenings and Saturdays, but Sundays are generally open and a good day for me to provide care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure pets are comfortable and following their normal routine. During walks, I focus on safe leash handling and choosing routes based on each dog’s needs. For drop-in visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and lots of play time of course. I always respect clients’ homes and my goal is to keep pets happy, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since my sister and I started a dog walking business in the 8th grade with the neighborhood. I grew up with a doberman who showed me how quirky these furry friends can be. I show respect to all animals and people and expect the same in return. I am always open to getting to know new friends, please reach out with any questions! My working hours vary day to day, and I am available on most weekends and am open to working with you! I aim to maintain the same schedule your pet would typically operate on. I am more than happy to go on long walks and treat the furry friends with the utmost respect! I ask that the owners are upfront about the animals needs so I can be best prepared!
About: I've lived with animals my entire life — there's never been a stretch without a cat or a dog in the house. I've raised three puppies from their chaotic early weeks all the way to well-mannered adulthood, and I've spent just as many years around cats, from skittish rescues to laid-back lap cats who never leave your side. That mix of experience means I'm comfortable with the very different things dogs and cats need — walks, playtime, and training cues for one; a calm hand, a clean litter box, and patience for the other. Years of pet-sitting for other families has taught me to read what an individual animal needs rather than treat every visit the same way. Whether it's a dog who needs an energetic walker, a cat who just wants company and consistency, or a multi-pet household juggling both, I'll treat your home and your pets like my own. While my weekday work hours are long, my weekends are sacred — and my golden retriever gets the full benefit of that. We're out for long walks, playing at the park, or just hanging out together with nothing else competing for my attention. That's the same energy and focus your pet would get when I'm caring for them: undivided attention, plenty of activity, and someone who genuinely wants to be there rather than squeezing it in between other things. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my approach is the same: plenty of activity balanced with genuine downtime. I'm an active person who loves a good long walk, a game of fetch, or just running around outside — but I'm just as happy cozying up with a good book while a dog or cat curls up next to me. Lots of snuggles are guaranteed either way. I live in a very walkable part of Baltimore with lots of foot traffic, so there's no shortage of good routes and new sights and smells. My golden retriever and I are out most days walking along the wharf, and I'm glad to bring your pet along on those same walks or tailor the pace and distance to whatever they're used to. In your home, I'll stick as closely as possible to your pet's normal routine — feeding times, walk schedule, favorite spots — so the biggest change they notice is an extra set of hands to give them attention.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a proud cat parent to my own cat, I know how much peace of mind matters when you have to leave your furry family members behind. While I'm new to the Rover platform, pet care is second nature to me—back in college, I regularly helped my classmates with pet sitting, looking after both dogs and cats. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat needs some gentle loving attention, I treat every pet with the exact same care and devotion I give my own. Because I work remotely and part-time from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I am basically free and can easily find time for your pet any day or any time. Whether it's a mid-day walk or constant companionship, we can easily figure out a routine that works best for you and your pet! Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Whether I am dropping in for pet sitting or taking your dog out for an engaging walk, I treat every pet with the utmost care and respect. As an experienced cat owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to respect an animal's boundaries, safety needs, and home environment. You can count on me for clear communication, reliable updates, and treating your home and pets like my own.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs since I was 10. I stay over with neighbors and friends dogs when needed! I have 2 Boston terriers that I love and take care of! I live in the Fed Hill/Riverside area and WFH most days! I would love to get out of the house and walk dogs on my lunch break whenever possible. I miss my pups back home and am needing some time with dogs! I can easily walk dogs on the leash or with a harness! I can crate if needed and do whatever is best for your pets needs!
“Katie was so awesome taking care of Cooper and Sophie! She took our request on the day before we had to leave and she was so easy to work with. She put a normally anxious dog dad at peace immediately with how she was able to easily befriend both of our dogs and was instantly chilling with both of them. She was right on time, the pics of the dogs were comforting, and the dogs both looked happy and at peace. I recommend her for anyone that’s looking to have their dogs watched and will definitely reach out to her in the future.”

About: I have watched over many many pets and I have 3 myself which are a bunny and 2 guinea pigs, your pet will be in great hands and I promise I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is safe and loved I’m currently working full time, but the hours are either 10:30 AM to 5 PM or 5 PM to 11 PM. My schedule is very flexible! I will not be able to pet sit in my house because I have roommates but when I pet sit at a clients house I will make sure everything is nice and clean before I leave
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. My family has owned dogs throughout my life, and I currently have two cats of my own. Through both personal and family experience, I have cared for pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I am a responsible, dependable, and caring person who understands that every pet has unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets while you’re away, and I strive to provide reliable care and peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a high school athletic trainer, my schedule becomes much more flexible during the summer when school is out. This gives me additional time throughout the week to dedicate to caring for pets and ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins into my daily routine comes naturally. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand the importance of consistency and reliable care. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, a long walk, or extra companionship while you’re away, I have the time and flexibility to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable. I do not take care for animals in my home due to two cats already at home. In your home, I will be respectful of your space and the time that I have with your pet
“Kelli was amazing, she was wonderful at managing my super anxious little guy and he warmed up to her so quickly. She put in extra effort to make sure he was happy and calm and sent us pics and updates for each drop-in. We will definitely be booking Kelli again.”

Sheila is very patient with my standoffish Siamese girl, Luna. Sheila is understanding and kind with Luna, and often brings over new cat toys for her to try and play with. I always love and appreciate the pictures, too, especially when I’m away from home and missing my kitty. Thank you!

Rachel was awesome and went above and beyond. We appreciated that she sought out one of our kitties to make sure she ate and was happy, and even did us a solid by securing a piece of luggage that we forgot. Handoff of keys and garage opener was seamless, and our kitties were both happy on our return.

Incredible service. Harsh is professional, timely, respectful and compassionate. He arrived early to the initial Introduction and was in constant communication throughout. He took the time to meet and introduce himself to all my pets and asked follow up questions regarding care and schedules. When it came time for the visits, Harsh was incredibly kind and thoughtful to all pets, and very accommodating to their needs. By the time we got back home, our pets didn't even notice we were gone since he took such good care of him. They fell in love in 2 days! We will absolutely be booking with Harsh anytime we need someone to come care for our home!

Pak Ki was amazing and I would highly recommend her! I was leaving for the weekend and my original sitter fell through relatively last minute, but Pak Ki was super helpful and was even able to visit for a meet and greet with the cat before I left. She was prompt and detailed in her communications and was able to administer my cat's twice daily medicine while I was away. Thank you again!

Brianna was a wonderful sitter from start to finish. She communicated clearly and often, sending updates so I never had to wonder how things were going. She followed all of my instructions carefully and paid attention to the details that matter for my fur baby. She was kind and gentle with my cat, and my nervous, shy cat took to her right away. It was clear my cat felt safe and comfortable in her care, which meant everything to me while I was away. I came home to a happy, healthy kitty and a well-kept home. I would absolutely book Brianna again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.

Alex was absoltuely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were doing well and were comfortable. She kept their litter box super clean and was always trying to find them when they were being shy to make sure they were doing good. I also very much appreciate the daily photos and thorough updates!

Anastasia was absolutely outstanding! She was able to accommodate our last-minute booking and took wonderful care of our two cats, including our 10-week-old kitten, who needs a little extra attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again. Highly, highly recommend!
