About: I have had dogs since I was in preschool. I started my understanding of them and other animals when I turned nine. Since then, I always have had my and other people’s pets interest at heart. Today, my dogs are ages eight and eleven and I am their most trusted person in the house. I’ve trained them both despite being in school and I take care of their hygiene. This includes brushing their fur, washing them, and cleaning their teeth. When I am not taken care of their hygiene, I make sure they have a daily playtime or cuddle session so they have some love everyday. I have a part time job that requires me to work on Friday evenings, some Mondays, Wednesday nights, Friday nights, and Sunday however I do have a cancellation on those days sometimes and I will let clients know. Other than that I am very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. If I am unable to work, I will communicate immediately to the best of my ability. I make sure hazards are out of range and site of the animal in care. I don’t rush the bond, and take it to the pet’s pace for trust. At home, my dogs at senior dogs that I have trained since they were puppies and we have a lot of trust in each other and a great bond. I can’t perform service at my own house since I have a toddler sibling who my dogs have gotten used to but I do not want to stress anyone’s pets out. We also have family members who have allergies.

About: I love all animals: big, small, and in-between! If you need a great pet sitter that loves animals and has reliable transportation, let me know! I'd love to take care of your pet and provide them with the love, care, and hospitality they need and deserve. If this is your first time using Rover, please let me know and I will give you a promo code that gives you $20 off of your first booking. Your pet would never be home alone for more than 2 hours max- pet sitting is my full time job, so the only time I’m gone is to take care of other animals or go to the dog park!

I’ve handled multiple breeds and sizes and can provide referrals from the dogs I have watched. i am currently on summer break from school with part time job with 4 hour shifts but only work one to two shifts a week.

About: I’ve had various pets my entire life (mainly cats) and have always loved caring for all animals. I grew up around families with dogs, so I’m extremely comfortable caring for dogs as well and have pet-sat many dogs over the years. At one point, I had 12 cats, so I’m able to care for multiple pets and keep up with their individual needs. I’ve also cared for two senior cats and understand the extra patience and attention older pets may need. I’ve rescued and cared for kittens, including helping them feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I also have experience caring for a cat who needed medication and experienced seizures, which taught me the importance of following care instructions carefully, paying close attention to changes in behavior, and staying calm when a pet needs extra care. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and keep an eye on your pet. I’m usually available throughout the day for walks and other services. If my availability ever changes, I’ll make sure to communicate that ahead of time. I currently offer dog walking and house sitting services. When house sitting, I’ll make sure your pet stays comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own home. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated while you’re away. I will also treat your property as if it were my own!
About: I love taking care of dogs! There are so many different types of dogs I’ve gotten to meet and it so great seeing all the different personality’s. I have a 5-month-old Goldendoodle who I’ve been training since he was a puppy. We’re currently working on basic obedience, and he’s making great progress. Our next goal is to begin the training needed for him to become a therapy dog. Training him has given me hands-on experience with positive reinforcement, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m currently a student so I have a lot of open availability. I can always drop in before or after class, or whichever is necessary. I have a big fenced in yard that my dogs love to run around in. It is big enough for them to get there zoomies out!
About: I have experience being around many different types of animals and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality! I’ve been around a variety of dog breeds, including Labs, Rottweilers, Poodles, Golden Retrievers, and Great Danes. I’ve also cared for and been around cats, bunnies, ferrets, snakes, ducks, and more. I’m comfortable with different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of animals! 🐶🐱🐍🦆❤️ I’m currently a college student at Salisbury University. My classes are usually from 10 AM–1 PM, and I sometimes work in the afternoons, but I still have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m happy to make time for feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and anything else your pets may need while you’re away. 🐾❤️ At this time, I’m not able to host pets in my own home, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their home! I’m available for drop-in check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I want your pets to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! 🐾❤️
“Marcus was such a great person and a great caretaker for Tum Tum while we were here visiting in VT. Marcus was flexible with timing. He was so great with Tum Tum and I’m so sad we have to leave VT because he made our stay memorable. Thank you Marcus!”
“Maggie was terrific. Accommodated our last min plans. Easily managed our border Collie with significant anxiety issues. Sent text updates of how visits were going. I highly recommend her.”
“This was my first time using Rover. Julie did an amazing job! She was so thorough with her questions about each dog, and their schedule. She did an amazing job checking in and keeping me updated on how the dogs were doing! She was beyond reliable and on time and went above and beyond to work with my schedule and the dogs needs. I will definitely be using her again and again! She is so wonderful with my two dogs, they have a new friend for sure! I couldn’t have been more relaxed knowing my dogs were being cared for so well while I was gone!”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have helped care for pets for friends and family. I'm reliable, follow routines, and enjoy spending time with animals. I work at a restaurant with a changing schedule, but I'm usually available during the day and keep my Rover calendar updated each week to reflect my availability. I always follow the owner's instructions and stick to each pet's normal routine. I'll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also keep the home clean, secure, and send updates so owners know how their pet is doing.
About: I have loved dogs my entire life, and grew up taking care of them from a young age. I have attended many dog training classes with my family dog, and understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules and administering simple medications, and play time. As a pet sitter I am dependable, responsible, and I pay attention to detail. I will treat your dog as if they are my own.

I have reliable transportation and lots of available time during to the day to either come let your dog out for a good walk, or I also offer dog boarding at my own home that has no other pets and has a large fenced yard.
About: ❗️❗️🙂 CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS🙂❗️❗️ I've been working for Rover since 2017, and I can truly say that I adore this job! I mainly specialize in working with dogs and cats, however I am willing to work with different kinds of animals if needed. I'm also a Washington DC native, who has recently moved to Salisbury, Maryland 💛🖤❤️🤍 ⚠️❗️❗️UPDATE AS OF APRIL 2024❗️❗️⚠️: If you are new client and need someone for a extended stay Home Sitting, the longest I will be willing to stay is 3 to 5 days. Once you are a repeat client, I am then more comfortable staying for longer periods of time if needed. Pets will stay on routine by following whatever schedule the owner has set up. If it means getting up early to take a walk, that's what will happen. If I means getting out later in the afternoon for a walk, tha will be fine too. Pet care fits into my routine by me having a very opened schedule. I just moved to Easton, MD, so right now I'm looking to build a new client base here. While watching your pets in your home, I will always make sure I keep a watchful eye over them. I typically like to stay in an area that is open enough where I can see everything, but closed enough where the animal won't be out of site.

My first time using Rover and Kailey was a great experience. Each step was clearly laid out so the entire process went smoothly with no surprises. Kailey was delightful. I felt confident that my fur baby was well cared for. Having her enabled me to better enjoy my time away.
Diana was a pleasure to have watch our fuzzy family. She was prompt, communicative, and kind. Diana even excelled at having to provide our one cat his daily syringes, despite being unfamiliar with orally medicating cats beforehand. I highly recommend Diana for your pet-sitting needs.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Salisbury choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
