“If you’re looking for peace of mind with your fur babies then look no further. Steffen went above and beyond for my two senior pups while I was out of town. Not only was he great with them, his communication with me was also on point. He genuinely cares and really sets the bar high for other sitters. Thank you again”
“Heather has been so helpful checking up on our pups while we’re at work! It’s clear they are super comfortable with her and she always sends cute photos of their time together!”
“I cannot recommend Lavinia enough. She is thoughtful, caring, and thorough. I trusted her to care for our two dogs. She provided excellent, timely communication, and offered more than enough photos to give us updates. I would trust her to care for my home/cats/dogs. Thank you, Lavinia!”
“Alexandra was very accommodating towards Mr Cat. She treated him as if he were her own, provided me with pictures on every visit. She went the extra mile to make sure Mr Cat was well taken care of. I definitely will be contacting her again if I go on a trip.”
“Paige was so wonderful!! We came home to two very happy kitties. She kept us updated with pictures and was very communicative with us about how they were doing and any changes that needed to be made. Absolutely recommend her and will be using her for the future!!!:)”
“Baela did a great job taking care of my two cats! One of them is a little bit difficult and needed medication, and she took care of it no problem. My cats were happy when I got home, and everything was in order. Baela communicated very well before and during my trip. I would definitely recommend Baela and would use her again next time I go out of town.”
“Huge huge huge shout out to MacKenzie for watching my pups while I was out of town! I just moved up here and was a little worried about being away from the new place/state and leaving the dogs up here in the meantime. However, MacKenzie just seemed trustworthy, cool, and kind, and I was right! Not only did she want to make sure she did a good job and followed their schedules and everything to a T, she also just loved and cared about them instantly. What really sold MacKenzie as just being a rockstar was her willingness to work with my one dog who has major stranger danger and takes a bit to trust especially with females. MacKenzie did what she could and spent a lot of time focusing on his comfortability and building his trust with her while still ensuring my other dog got her attention and love as well. Throughout the visits, MacKenzie gave me numerous photos and videos as well as updates from all her visits. I am truly grateful to have had her help and her love and care for my animals while I was away. I will 100% be using MacKenzie from here on out for my animal’s care!”
“My cats love to see Isabella, especially Squeaker. He especially enjoys the treats, pets, playtime, and brushing. He would probably let Isabella take him home with her if she wanted, (he's such a Romeo!). Ariel enjoys maintaining her Princess status with Arabella, who brings her meals to her on a tray! I enjoy the fantastic photos Isabella takes every day even the funny ones of Ariel being grumpy!”
“Jessica has been great with all 3 of my dogs. They love her! She’s also excellent with communication and is just a kind person. I highly recommend her!”
“Hired Caroline again because of how well it went the first time. My kitties loved their sitter, even my shy kitty! Caroline also gets the best pictures to share with you.”
“Rico is the best - our dogs love him! He's reliable, kind, and takes the best pictures of our furbabies. We're very grateful to have his help and highly recommend him!”
“Priya toom great care of Ghibli. Very communicative when needed. And you can tell she cares about your pet. Can't recommend enough, will definitely reach out in the future for any future plans.”
“I am so grateful that we found Daniel to take care of our chickens when we were gone for 10 days on vacation! He was excellent at being in touch, communicating about various things, and paying attention to details when taking care of our pets. We needed to make a few last-minute changes to our schedule and Daniel quickly redid the booking for us multiple times. It was a pleasure working with him and we will definitely be thinking of him for our next vacation!”
About: I make time to care for dogs on my free time and love to make them feel special. I help busy hardworking owners feel relieved when they can work and know that their dog is in good hands. I am a student that is currently studying full time at my apartment and am available to schedule dog care. I am very organized and am able to set time for studying and pet care and play time. I can play with them and give them enrichment. I can pet them to soothe them. I can encourage drinking water to keep them healthy. I am very vocal when it comes to encouraging and letting pets know they are doing something well.
About: Love to give dogs lots of attention and affection. Coupled with the ability to be stern if needed, I am able to take care of many types of dogs. I live an active life and will have no problem walking your dog as much as needed. I spent many years training and caring for our family dog. I have lived with roommates with dogs and had no issues caring for them even when the roommate was not away. While living with a roommate, they had their own rover account and I would help take care of any dog that would come over. I have pretty open availability and willing to travel to most places within 10-15 miles of downtown baltimore. Please reach out to me with any questions or requests and I will try to accommodate.
“Ona did a great job! She easily followed my complicated instructions ;) She sent an informative update and cute pics from each visit. My kitty loved her. Would definitely hire her again, except I'm moving out of state.”

Alexandra does a great job with my two cats. They’re both a little shy about new people but she always takes the time to find them and allow them to slowly warm up (with the help of their favorite games and treats) and goes out of her way to make sure they’ve got comfortable places to rest and eat wherever they decide to hang out.
She did a great job giving all our cats attention, even the difficult ones. Made sure to keep a watchful eye during meal times so food wasn’t stolen by other cats. Did a great job of cleaning litter boxes and food dishes daily. Went above and beyond and watered our flowers while we were gone. Will definitely plan to use again the next time we go out of town. Did a great job of capturing this pictures of all cats at each visit.
Take it from someone who does not do well away from her fur babies, BOOK LAVINIA. She communicates well, asks all the right questions, loves on your kitties like they’re her own and truly took all of the anxiety I had about leaving them, away! She genuinely cares about animals, and it shows. Seeing dozens of pictures of my cats every day truly made my vacation and I can’t wait to book her again!
Ona did such an amazing job taking care of my 2 cats. She sent the best pictures and extremely detailed updates. She went above and beyond, even bringing in my mail/packages and followed all directions (and there were MANY directions) exactly as I asked. I will absolutely use her again :)
Holly is wonderful! We were lucky she was available for a couple last-minute drop-in appointments. She texted back quickly. Our cat, who hates to be held, needs to have her paws dipped into a medication solution for as close to 5 mins as possible everyday. Not only was Holly unfazed by this task, but she was more successful with it than we often are! She is clearly familiar with animal behavior and is willing and able to adapt to pet’s personality to keep them healthy and happy. She adjusted her approach as she went based on her observations, which let me know she was really paying attention during visits. Holly is also communicative and easy to talk to. 10/10 would recommend
My first time using a pet sitter to visit my cat daily and Paige made the whole experience super easy and convenient! She followed all instructions, provided detailed daily updates and sent lots of photos of my cat. I would definitely work with her again as the experience was so much easier than packing everything for my cat to board and he was much happier at home. Thanks Paige!
Emalee once again did a fantastic job caring for my cats while I was away. She last minute was willing to increase the frequency of her visits to help apply some eye ointment when one of the kitties needed it right before I was going away. She did such an amazing job with them and I never have to worry about them while she is caring for them.
