“My dog is usually wary of strangers, but Krista took the time to come by before my trip so they could get to know each other. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care after just the meet-and-greet. While I was away, she sent thoughtful updates with pictures and notes that made me feel at ease. She asked great questions, followed (and even went beyond) my care instructions, and treated my dog like her own. I’ll definitely book with Krista again if she’s available!”
“We’ve booked Christine twice now and each time she did an amazing job. We get daily updates and photos, and she even goes the extra mile to bring our packages in 😂 our cats love her and always seem to enjoy when she stops by. We plan to book with Christine anytime we’re out of town!”
About: I can’t watch/be with cats I’m allergic. I can’t watch dogs in my own house because my dad is allergic. I do not have a ton of dog sitting experience. I have helped walk dogs in my neighborhood with my sister since I was about 9 or 10. My sister has a dog and my cousins have dogs. So, I am familiar with dogs and their behaviors. I am somewhat flexible here and there. Usually free on the weekends. I am a little bit more flexible in Anne Arundel county since I go to AACC. I cannot watch any dogs in my own home because my dad is allergic and we do not have a big yard that's fenced either. However, in the comfort of the dog and owners home I make sure doors to outside are always closed/locked unless I am nearby to let a dog out. I would never let a dog off leash during walks I believe dogs should be leashed no matter how well-behaved they are and for the sake of other dogs.
“Joshua was fantastic with my cat Athena. They got along famously when he came for a visit, and I was very happy with the updates he shared during my 9-day trip. He was flexible and responsive and I would happily book with him again.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! We did 3 drop in visits and each one was done in a timely manner with all the focus on the kitties. Communication was a breeze and our cats were very comfortable the whole time!”
About: I’ve always taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I begged my mom to get me a dog around that time as well. I promised her I would take care of the dog and do all I needed to do. With that being said I became a pet owner and trained my dog all by myself . From the simple commands, and crate training. I love to treat my current dog(Chloe) like a baby. From cuddles, long walks, nice tasty treats and all the love I can possibly give her. Sometimes I do travel and when I do its hard to find someone to keep Chloe. I realized I can’t be the only one who has experienced this . I am new to the app. I am ready to spread the love in my area. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Can’t wait to meet you ! I do work full tine Monday-Friday. I have a Hybrid schedule. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays . I am open on weekends ! I have a spacious apartment. We also have dog parks in my complex. Lastly my favorite a few different trails/ lakes that I love to walk currently.
“Thank you for caring for our cats while we were traveling! You really made them feel happy, played with, and fed! We really appreciated you staying for the whole drop in visit and sending pictures as we were really missing them while we were away!!”
About: Most of my pet care experience started January 2025 with the rescue of my pit-mix BB. She was the longest resident at the shelter, and just needed love and a chance. She has returned my fiance and I's love over and over. I grew up with family pets and outdoor cats, and knew the basics of animal care. I wanted a stable life to give any pet the life they deserve! I am grateful for BB and for the village that helps care for her. I hope to be a part of your pets' village! I am currently transitioning between careers, and have the extra time to dedicate to the extra furry ones! Quality time is deeply important to me, and I hope to build bonds on this journey. Without a fenced yard for BB to run around, my fiance and I take turns walking her around our neighborhood circuit. I typically take the morning and he takes the evening. We take extra walks for exercise and socializing, and book SniffSpots to let her run loose! BB has a crate that she sometimes opts to rest in, but 99% of the time she is napping at our feet.
“Taresse was great as always with our cats, from coming at a special time one day when our senior kitty wouldn't take his meds to staying longer another day to help one of our boys feel more comfortable during thunderstorms.”
About: i have lived with pets my whole life both cats and large dogs. currently we only have cats but I feel comfortable taking care of low maintenance dogs as well. i live in a house with multiple cat and have primary responsibility for some of them including litter box cleaning, grooming, feeding, watering, all basic needs. I have established routines for meeting these needs on a regular basis. I have also lived with dogs in the past and have basic care knowledge on them as well When boarding cats i will provide a separate quiet space to allow for both interaction and privacy. When caring for pets in your home I will try to mimic your routines as much as possible although that isn't always possible.
“Esosa was amazing! From the moment she came to the meet and greet, I knew she would be a great fit. My dog has a lot of high energy, but she was so patient and willing to be gentle with her. She was punctual and made sure she showed up when she was supposed to. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog had everything she needed, and I was so touched by the photos she left and her handwritten note. I’ve never had a caregiver on Rover do such a thing. I would recommend her to everyone.”
“Jodi was exceptional and took wonderful care of our two senior kitties while we were away. She asked thoughtful questions, was alwayd qucick to respond, and just the easiest person to get along with! We look forward to booking her for future cat sittings. :)”
About: I’ve worked with animals my whole life, I’ve been employed under dogtopia (a doggy daycare) as well as a premium dog walking service. I’m very excited to work with animals again! I am currently on break from school so I have plenty of free time! My goal this summer is fitness so walking dogs fits right in! I am also more than happy to stay overnight or any kind of small visit as well, I am very flexible so I can be wherever, whenever! 😁 I have a black lab, as well as a tuxedo cat, I’ve had them my whole life and been the main caretaker. My pets are very well trained but I am more than comfortable around any kind of pet and am professionally trained on how to handle any shape, size, or personality of animals!
“Jennie was amazing with our three dogs! We had to add another drop in visit the day before our trip unexpectedly and she was happy to accommodate with no issues. Highly recommend and looking forward to rebooking in the future.”
About: Hi Im TJ, a lifelong dog lover who truly understands how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve been there myself, and that’s exactly why I joined Rover, to offer pet parents peace of mind knowing their pup is safe, loved, and well cared for. My Care Philosophy: I treat every pup I care for like my own, with patience, affection, and attention to their comfort and well-being. I work from home full-time, which allows me to be very hands on and present throughout the day. Whether your pup is energetic or laid back, I’m able to match their vibe and provide a safe, nurturing environment. I have experience with administering medication, puppies and elderly dogs. In my home, I specialize and care for small and medium sized pups. I’m focused on quality care, I make sure each pup has a comfortable, cozy setup. I understand that every pup is unique, so I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help reduce any stress or anxiety. What to Expect •Constant supervision and companionship •Lots of playtime, affection, and mental stimulation •Regular walks, potty breaks, and updates to you •A calm, pet-friendly home environment • Crate-Trained Canines Only Your pup must be crate-trained because we serve meals and naps in their cozy "doggy suite." While you’re away I’m here to make your pup feel at ease, cared for, and loved. As someone who works from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. From morning walks and playtime to consistent potty breaks and cuddle sessions. Pet care is naturally built into my routine, so your pup will never feel alone or overlooked. I also keep their spaces clean, cozy, and calm to make them feel right at home. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and structured environment where dogs feel safe and loved. I follow each pup’s routine closely, offer regular potty breaks, playtime, quiet rest, and use crates for overnight safety and comfort in line with Rover Trust & Safety guidance. For drop in visits, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention while keeping their home routines consistent and stress free.
“Christina was wonderful and so understanding of all the craziness she walked into with our dog. Very communicative and we loved to see our dog visibly happy in every photo we received!”
“First time using Nia and she was great! Super communicative and sent all the pictures. She was so sweet with Jesse at our meet and greet and Jesse had the biggest smile in every picture sent so I know Jesse loved her too. Will be using her again!”
About: I love all kinds of animals! I’ve had cats, dogs and turtles throughout my life and grew up raising chickens and pigs in my backyard. I work a standard 9-5 but can always make time for your pup before or after. I don’t travel for holidays so I’m always glad to come by and make sure they are taken care of. Everyone’s pet is unique and how you take care of your pet is as well. If all you need is someone to walk your pet when your not home I can do that, if you have specific instructions on how they should be taken care of, please let me know. I want to ensure your pet is cared of to your standard.

Here’s a polished version of your Rover review that keeps your warm, appreciative tone while making it flow naturally: Krista was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating when I found myself in a pinch and needed a new dog walker on short notice. From the very beginning, she was responsive, reliable, and truly supportive throughout the entire time she worked with us. We were beyond pleased with the care she provided. She even went above and beyond by cleaning our carpet when our girl had an upset tummy—something we deeply appreciated and did not expect at all. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our girl was in such caring and capable hands. We appreciate Krista so much and look forward to working with her again in the future! 🐾
Corinne did a wonderful job with my dog while I was away for a funeral. She sent plenty of pictures and updates for my long absence. She was willing to provide my dog with his medication and gave him plenty of cuddles(I don’t think she had a choice 😅) I will definitely be rebooking with Corinne in the future when I am out of town.
We are thrilled to have Mandi as our new pet sitter! She cared for our hens & cat while we were away. I’m so glad I found her. She has terrific energy. When we met, Mandi had great follow up questions which I appreciated. I’m very picky about hen care. She did a good job tending to cleaning up the hen yard & coop. And, the hens trusted her on day one. Fantastic!! Our cat gets lonely when we travel & many times won’t eat. Under Mandi’s care he was eating well which was awesome. It was nice to see the many instructions I left were followed. She was prompt on getting back to to me. Mandi is 100% lovely. I’d recommend her to friends & family!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Savage stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Savage 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Savage with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
