1. Katherine C.

“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of our older dog! We loved the pictures and updates on how Halo was doing. Halo loved getting her walks (and sniffs) in each day! We are looking forward to having Katherine stay with our girl again this summer!”


2. Sierra S.

“Sierra took excellent care of our fur baby TRUE🐶🐾! We were updated on all his walks play time and play dates with his new fur friends boarding with him for four days! I felt confident with our meeting with Sierra that True was in a safe environment and welcoming!”


3. Nikki D.

“Nikki is fantastic and our animals love her! She is flexible and willing to work with your needs. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and freaks out when we leave with suitcases, so Nikki got to our house before we left and took the dogs on a walk so they wouldn't see us leave, which made a huge difference. She also sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were gone. I'll be reaching out to her first for pet care from now on.”


4. Denise B.

“Denise was awesome to work with!! I met & booked her with less than a weeks notice, she was very flexible and courteous. My girlies took to her right away and I will definitely be booking her again! Thank you, Denise!”


5. Lexi B.

“Lexi did a great job with our three dogs. It was very reassuring knowing that our pups were well taken care of while we were gone. She communicated with us to keep us informed with how things were going and sent us photos of our fuzzballs. We will definitely have her house sit for us again.”


6. Elizabeth W.


“My girls absolutely loved Liz, and so did I. She genuinely cared about my animals and took such great care of them. I felt so comfortable with her at my home. She sent messages and let me know how they were doing. My girls actually seemed disappointed I was home. Liz left the house super neat and clean. I am so happy I found her. She is truly awesome!”


7. Jahcarre & Morgan C.


“Jahcarre and Morgan took great care of our two dogs, Winston and Reno, as well as our home! Our dog Reno has issues with getting along with unfamiliar dogs, and due to being blind he doesn't always do well in new environments, so having a sitter come watch our dogs in our home is essential, but isn't always easy to find, especially over a holiday. I was so happy to find Jahcarre and Morgan through Rover! They put me at ease by talking with me and meeting the dogs beforehand, and I felt confident leaving my dogs and our home in their hands while my husband and I were able to travel without being concerned. They communicated well when needed and sent pictures when I requested. They even got our doggies a little Christmas gift which was so sweet! Thank you for spending your Christmas with our pups, we would definitely have you watch them again!”


8. Emily R.

“Emily has been so helpful every time. I’ve had to reach out last minute, and she’s always so attentive. She communicated with us during our vacation, sent us photos and helped with some things around the house.”


9. Nikole R.

“Nikole was INCREDIBLY awesome with my baby girl while we were out of the country! She was super attentive, sent pictures every day, and gave her lots of cuddles! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”


10. Sarah (Cobie) C.


“Sarah is an angel! Immediately, our pups took to her upon our initial meeting. She took pictures, gave updates and treated them with love and care. She also performed other tasks like getting the mail and watering the flowers. You won’t go wrong with Sarah!”


11. Linda S.


“Linda was awesome! Our pets are usually pretty shy, but they warmed up to her right away. She sent lots of photos and updates, and went above and beyond during out booking. We'll definitely be repeat clients.”


12. Kaitlyn O.

“Highly recommend Kaitlyn. Hands down. She watched my fur baby ( Golden retriever) when I needed to travel. He does have some anxiety, so I was very nervous leaving him. Kaitlyn was wonderful with him. She sent pictures multiple times a day which made me happy. It was such a relief to know he was in such great hands. Will for sure be using Kaitlyn again.”


13. Kathryn U.

“Wonderful experience! This was the first time our dog was left with someone other than a family member & it worked out perfectly. Our dog was happy & well taken care of. Would not hesitate to use again!”


14. Victoria B.
“Tori is my go to sitter for my fur baby, Lucy and I absolutely adore how Lucy is so comfortable with her. Tori goes above and beyond when pet sitting. Follows instructions, sends pictures, picks up any mess, and wonderful communication. When she stays in my home, she keeps it in immaculate condition. I highly recommend Tori.”


15. Rachel L.
About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I currently volunteer at Last Chance Animal Rescue. I help take care of the cats and small critters at Arundel Mills PetSmart twice a week and assist with adoption events for all types of animals! I am good at understanding pet behaviors and cues and know how to respond accordingly. I know some pets take more time to warm up than others, and am perfectly OK with that! I am knowledgeable and comfortable administering most types of medications, have general pet health knowledge, and am willing to learn how to care for your special needs or senior animals! I also know what is and isn't appropriate behaviors for puppies including how to play with them, and know how to do basic redirects to discourage bad behaviors. I am a soon to be empty nester so my schedule is usually pretty adjustable. For drop in or dog walking I can be available between 10am and 10pm. Later or earlier hours can be concidered on a case by case basis. I do love to travel, so there may be some periods of time where my schedule is closed. Usually no longer than two weeks. I am also unavailable on Monday and Thursday evenings, depending on the time. I volunteer at petsmart with the kitties on these nights, but the times can be a little flexible. I can easily follow any instructions left to care for your pet. I am comfortable handling all animals, no matter the size, breed, or ability. I love sending photos or videos of your pet to show how happy and comfortable they are, even when your gone!


16. Riley K.
“Riley has been taking care of his dog Maks for the past 10 years from an 8 week old puppy to the old man that he is now. Riley understands how to care for his cat and dog not only from basic care needs but to loving them as well. He started pet sitting last summer and fell in love with it. He loves getting to play with pets and care for them. He has grown up his whole life with pets from lizards, hamsters, cats dogs and even goats, spiders and snakes. I hope you all give him a chance to show you he is trust worthy and reliable.”


17. Mairen H.

“Mairen was great. It was nice to know everything was taken care of while I was gone. All three of my furbabies (two dogs and one cat) were taken care of in a loving but professional manner. Plus, she went the extra step of double checking when I would be home and feeding/walking them one last time to make sure they were comfortable so I didn’t have to frantically rush home from the airport. Further, she made sure it looked like she was never here upon her departure. I don’t just recommend, I highly recommend and will be coming back to Mairen if I need someone in the future. Thank you, Mairen.”


18. Robert M.
“Rob doesn’t just watch your pet—he basically becomes their new favorite human. He’s super responsible, totally chill, and somehow gives off ‘dog whisperer’ energy. My dog came back happy, tired, and weirdly obsessed with Rob. Pretty sure I’ve been replaced. 10/10 would trust him again!”


19. Maxwell W.

“Max did an excellent job taking care of my dog while I was gone over the holidays. I'd highly recommend him to anyone seeking someone to sit or do drop-ins.”


20. Clarice G.

“OMG! Clarice exceeded all our expectations. She’s a sweetheart to begin with, and then her house and dog-sitting were excellent. We want Clarice back for all our future sitting needs!”
