“Lourdes was amazing. She watched both of my dogs for four days and my girl is very shy so she took a while to transition but Lourdes was so patient with her and sent me constant updates about both dogs so I always knew how they were doing. She and Yoko (her pup) are wonderful and generous hosts.”
“She watched over my cat for a couple of hours and was amazing. Updated me with pictures and videos making sure he was okay. He loved the pets and attention from her. Definitely would recommend!!”
“Thank you!!!!! Tatiana took amazing care of Scout! She sent many pictures and I can tell our dog was really happy and comfortable there. I will definitely hope to book with Tatiana again soon. Thank you 10/10!!!!”
“Kristen took very good care of my dog - I could visibly see that as she dozed off the minute I picked her up and took her home (which is rare for a husky). She kept updating me with pictures twice every day and was very forthcoming with any questions/updates as the required. I will definitely ask her again if I ever need to keep Maya for a few days at a sitter.”
About: I have taken care of pets for my entire life! I also have experience in senior care, like administrating medications and other accommodations. I am currently in my undergrad for medical illustration and I am taking pre-vet classes. You won’t find someone as loving and caring to your pets as I am. I am currently on summer vacation, so I am super flexible and available to devote 100% of my attention to your pet for any length of time. I pay lots of attention to detail, and am great at following your directions. I have a roomy apartment, and live with two other animal lovers. Right outside my apartment is lots of yard space for walks and playtime! I will spend most of my time caring for your pet engaging with them and loving them!
“Amy was great with our puppy! She took great care of him and taught him a new skill. She sent several updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable with her and our dog was very well cared for.”
“Susan is a kind, thoughtful person who our dog loves spending time with. She respects our wishes and does everything in her power to make our dog’s time with her both fun and relaxing. We would trust her with any pet and will definitely come to her first when we need a sitter in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier that I found Meghan. She was so kind and reassuring, and I could tell right away that Molly was in great hands. Meghan sent updates that really put me at ease, and Molly looked so happy and relaxed. It felt like she was staying with a friend or family member.”
“Grizz had a great long weekend at Jennifer’s! We loved receiving updates and photos, and could tell he was well cared for while we were away. We will certainly use them again in the future!”
“I can’t recommend Levi enough! He was simply amazing with both my dogs — a senior with weak hips and on several meds and an energetic 2 year old. He catered to both of them with 2 walks at the park a day (the elder joined when he wasn’t too tired). The pics and videos shared put my mind at ease…he’s a true professional! Both came home happy and tired out. Thank you so much Levi!”
“We absolutely love leaving our Finley with her. She is always very quick to respond, always kind, friendly, and professional, and is very flexible. Finley is always excited to arrive and I know he has lots of fun playing with her pack. We always get nice photos and snippets about his day. We've become regular customers and will always recommend her to others!”
“Haley was amazing - she asked lots of questions to make sure she took the best care of our little guy, paid perfect attention to his schedule, and sent tons of pictures and updates all weekend! She went absolutely above & beyond in every way, thank you so much!!”
“Colleen was so kind, patient and easy to work with through Camden’s separation anxieties for the long trip away. I appreciated all of the updates and pictures she sent and extra compassion she gave him knowing he missed us so much. She is fantastic to work with and her two pups are adorable and playful!”
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.
About: I come from a family who has always had multiple pets at a time, with anywhere from 3 to 10 foster dogs under our care at any given time! I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs from smaller poodles and Shih tzus to much larger retrievers, border collies, and German shepherds. I have experience with cats as well, but much more lengthy experience taking care of dogs of different sizes and temperaments :) I am taking a break from work before starting grad school so I am pretty available this spring/summer outside of traveling every now and then to walk pets and house sit! I love taking long walks around Cambridge after work and would love to bring someone along with me :) I live on a residential campus so am unable to have a full time pet, I though I am eager and willing to board them short term and/or house sit to take care of your pets!
About: I would love to work with you and your canine family. I love dogs and want them to have every opportunity to be "out-and-about" enjoying their lives, walking and traveling, as they are meant to. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, and dogs got to walk! Dog-walking is service I am glad to provide. A brief background: I grew up with dogs. My first dog, a German Shepherd/Husky mix was a part of my family before I was born. After finishing my education, my partner and I adopted another Husky mix, Lulu, who was with us for 10+ years. She was well-trained, affectionate, and the best little fur friend we could have asked for. I have experienced, with a professional, Basic Obedience Class, Good Canine Citizenship, and will be continuing training to further my skills. Since Lulu passed, we adopted another cat (in addition to the one we already had), and they are the best of friends. However, I miss those daily walks with my furbie and am so glad for the opportunity to work with yours. I understand the importance of treating dogs with care and respect. It is my goal to increase my dog-walking skills to certification. Let's get in touch! Would be glad to chat more :) My schedule is generally 10am-4pm; but can be flexible if needed/as available. Will walk in any weather as long as it is safe to do so. Every measure will be taken to ensure the safety of your pet, including making sure they are safe on the leash while walking, while leaving and entering the home (no door dashing :]), as well as any other measures you may request to ensure safety.
“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”

Kade B.
“I have know Kade for a while, and he has taken care of my dogs many times. I tend to travel, so I have to leave my dogs home for weeks at a time. Kade has always taken excellent care of my dogs when I am gone. He plays with them, but doesn’t allow them to get into trouble. He can handle situations others might find stressful, and he is responsible and hard working. I would highly recommend Kade if you are looking for someone who can not only make sure your pets are safe, but also keep them company.”

Jessica H.
“Jessica is an amazing dog walker! She has a lot of patience and will provide structure for the dog on the walk. Jessica does a great job of maintaining control of the dog on walks, and keeps the dog focused so external distractions (squirrels, people, etc) does not take away from the walking experience. Overall, I highly recommend Jessica as a dog walker :)”

Rochester pet parents share their Rover experiences
Where do I even start. Leslie was an excellent host! She was very attentive to our dog’s needs and continuously updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. She took him on multiple walks a day and he seemed very happy and comfortable with her. Leslie was very patient and reassuring. One of our biggest concerns was our dog being difficult to manage due to his unpredictably. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I would definitely book her again!"
This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier that I found Meghan. She was so kind and reassuring, and I could tell right away that Molly was in great hands. Meghan sent updates that really put me at ease, and Molly looked so happy and relaxed. It felt like she was staying with a friend or family member.
Alexandra housed my cat while I was on a long trip. She was very happy to have my cat stay with her; her dog Bronson was gentle and welcoming too. Alexandra took lots of great photos and updates throughout the stay, putting my worries at ease as I got to see how my cat was acclimating. Very friendly and communicative.
