About: With 1.5 years of professional experience with animals and 15+ years caring for my own pets, I have a long history with animals including dogs, cats, small animals and large barnyard animals! I am currently studying Animal Behavior in college 🎓 I am available most days to do drop in visits, dog walking and house sitting. However, on Mondays and Wednesdays I am only available in the morning due to college With plenty of experience handling fearful, stressed and scared animals at the shelter, I have learned many skills to make them feel more safe and comfortable in my presence, which is very important to me when caring for pets. It has also taught me so much patience and to understand their feelings better than ever.
About: I have taken care of my Diva girl for 16 years! 6 years ago I got my second dog Reid and a year later my cat Siggy. My pets are my life and when I’m not home I know someone is there with them keeping them company. I would love to provide that for other pet owners- whether it’s walking, hanging out, staying over, etc! I currently am on my own schedule so I have all the time in the world to take care of your animals!! I would love to meet some new four legged friends! Whatever you need I’m there- at your house ! I have 3 animals of my own and one is very old! But I am very trustworthy and will love your pets like my own!
“Ashley was phenomenal! We have a very anxious dog that gets easily stressed out and do not like to board him. We usually have family watch our dog when we travel, but no one was available this time. I decided to try Rover for the first time and I am very glad I did and found Ashley. She did such a fantastic job house sitting for our dog and we returned to a happy and healthy pup. She made traveling stress free knowing that our dog was taken care of and comfortable while we were away. Ashley sent pictures and updates each day, and made the whole process very easy. I highly recommend her and she will be our go-to in the future. So happy to find someone we can trust and feel comfortable with to watch our dog and house while we are away!”
“Thank you Ryan and Thomas for taking care of my Milly this weekend! I loved all of the pictures, especially the Polaroids that were waiting for me when I got home from my trip. She was in great hands with you guys. Great communicators and followed all instructions perfectly. Thanks again!”
About: I have always had dogs growing up since I was a baby. I have been around dogs all sizes from Shih Tzu’s to Saint Bernards. I have currently a pitty who is reactived and been doing class with him. If you need someone to walk, run, watch or play with your dog(s) look no further! I currently work at a before and after school program. Was the program director, but now just work pm shifts. I’m free any time in the morning all the way up to about 1pm and will be busy until about 7 I can’t house sit at my house unfortunately at the moment with currently living situation. I have a yard for my dog to run, outdoor tent for my cats to be outside, and two birds cages for one inside and one outside.
“Kelly was an amazing sitter! She stayed at our house and gave our pups all the love and snuggles. She kept us updated with messages and cute pictures. It’s great to know our dogs were in good hands!”
About: Hi there, I’m new to Rover but not to pet care! I had multiple dogs when I was young and love all animals immensely. I have patience unlike anyone else and am always down for some physical activity, so whether your dog wants to stop and smell the flowers on a walk or play fetch in the yard, I can match their energy! Due to my smaller build, I specialize with small-medium sized dogs. Thank you for your consideration! I am off for the summer so I have flexible availability to care for your pets. I am free most days of the week, most often in the late morning and afternoons. I am also available on the weekends. I care for your pet in the familiarity of your home and follow the care instructions you give me. Your pet is a part of your family, so I treat them like I’m just another family member! *Disclaimer*: I am highly allergic to cats, so your house must be cat-free. Thank you in advance.
“Courtney was amazing! 2 of my pets required last minute medications and she was completely on board and ready to help. The pets were happy and clearly taken care of exactly how we would take care of them. The house was in perfect condition. I really couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our furry family members while we were away.”
About: I've loved dogs since I was a child, and finally was able to get one in 2017. Since then, I have not stopped caring for or petting dogs, as they are a constant source of pure joy in my life. I am also trained in certain animal science. For the summer, I am completely free for pet care! I am usually awake by 6 and can walk as late as like 10 pm. In your home, your dog is where they are most comfortable. I plan on allowing them to guide whether or not they want to play, go out again (for fun! not just for a walk), sleep, or whatever it is they want to do. I promise to respect you, your house, and especially your pet!
“Heidi was great with Kona! We asked her to stay at our house for 3 nights with our lab who has some anxiety issues when left alone. She sent us lots of pictures, was great at communicating throughout the visit, was extremely friendly and left our house just like we left it! Kona seemed super happy and relaxed when we got back which is always a great sign. ☺️ We would definitely recommend Heidi to any family and friends!”
“Had a wonderful experience working with Julie to care for our two pups while we went to Ocean City for a couple days. She was professional, took lots of pictures and kept as updated. We highly recommend her! Thanks Julie!”

Marisol was one of the best dog sitters we’ve encountered! From the meet and greet throughout the whole stay she was very attentive. I would easily book her again and recommend her to anyone. She left us adorable pictures of our pups which was so fun to come home to!
