I volunteer at humane societies and have experience carrying for dogs with medical and special needs. No breed or size is off limits. I have a lot of experience with small dogs. I have used rover as a pet parent and strive to be the best sitter for you. I will provide daily updates via phone, text, or email depending on your preferences. I love sending photo updates of your pet doing fun things. We have a fenced yard for your pet to play in. I offer a complimentary meet and greet before your booking to become acquainted with you and your pets. This meet and greet is important to ensure I am the right fit for you and your pets.

I am available throughout the day to check in and walk your pets and am available for boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet will have freedom throughout our row home and the fenced in yard. If they prefer their space, they will have a bedroom and floor all to themselves.

About: Hello, my name is Danielle. I used work as a veterinary technician and I am looking to drop in pet sit and walk pets on my off time. I personally have 3 dogs and 4 cats so I am very much used to taking care of pets on a daily basis. I am also experienced in pet first aid and dog/cat CPR experienced. I can also watch small caged animals in my home. I have experience with some exotics and small 'pocket' pets. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thank you!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, dogs, cats, rabbits, and even fish, so caring for pets feels like second nature to me. I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years for families with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’m patient, calm, and very intentional about making animals feel safe and comfortable, especially in new environments. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior cues so each pet gets the care that fits them best. I also have experience with puppies who need extra guidance and playtime, as well as senior pets who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or gentle handling. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, secure, and right at home while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, reliable hands. 🐾💛 I fit pet care into my schedule before and after work as well as in the evening hours. This way your pets are given the time they need. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in every home. I follow your pet’s normal schedule, keep spaces clean, secure doors and gates, and pay close attention to your pet’s body language so they feel relaxed and understood. I always ensure fresh water, clean litter or feeding areas, and provide playtime, cuddles, or quiet company depending on what your pet prefers. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

“Samantha is awesome at taking care of Max. Max is not an easy dog to walk but Max let her walk him and gave her kisses. Even though we had issue with Rover regarding refund on a few missed walks (due to legit reasons), but Samantha has been responding to my messages right away and tried her best to help me. I will book Samantha again in the future.”

“This was my 1st experience with Rover or any kind of service and Keelie. It's hard to trust unknown others with my animals, but Keelie is very experienced with a number of animals and installed confidence in her ability and caring daring our meet and greet. I have to say she's been great. 3 walks today,all on time and all good walks. I would be happy to call on her again. Thanx Keelie!!!”

About: Are you looking for a loving, reliable, and trustworthy human for your pet? Growing up in a family that bred Golden Retrievers, caring for dogs (and the occasional cat!) became second nature. Over the years, my passion for animals only grew, and I eventually started my own breeding business. Through these experiences, I developed a deep understanding of animals and learned the importance of gentle, attentive care. I moved from California to Maryland, where I’ve shifted my focus entirely to helping pet owners by providing exceptional care. I would be thrilled to look after your furry family member. Hi there! I’m Brooke, a devoted pet lover with a flexible work-from-home schedule, allowing me to cater to your pet’s every need, whether for a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or a overnight stay. I aim to create a safe, welcoming, and relaxed environment where your pet feels completely at ease and cared for, as if they were with family.

Whether your dog loves exploring new parks, trotting around the neighborhood, or curling up for snuggles, I tailor every visit to suit their preferences and routine. During overnight stays, I bring a sense of home to our time together—your pet gets all the attention, love, and comfort they’re used to.t this time I would only be open to dog walking or drop ins. I am highly confident I can give your pet and yourself a relaxing fun experience with a stress free environment. I absolutely love walking, and enjoy hiking in my free time. My approach is built on compassion, attentiveness, and a love for getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I want you to feel confident and relaxed, knowing that your furry family member is in gentle, caring hands.
