“Emily arrived on time and was so friendly and warm greeting Sadie. She definitely provided Sadie a great walk and rewarding experience. I would definitely use Emily again?”

About: I bring a combination of reliability, experience, and genuine love for animals that sets me apart from other sitters. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. I am trained in providing medication administration, gentle handling for anxious pets, and creating structured routines to keep pets happy and healthy. My attention to detail ensures that every pet receives individualized care, and I communicate regularly with owners to give updates and peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, training support, or senior pet care, I tailor my approach to meet each animal’s unique needs. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I am available evenings and on weekends to provide care for your pets. During these times, I dedicate focused attention to feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I can follow your pet’s specific routines and make sure they receive the care and interaction they need while maintaining a structured schedule that keeps them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed and happy. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, engage in playtime and exercise, and offer plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I treat the space and pets with respect, following all owner instructions carefully. I maintain routines as directed, ensure pets have fresh water and food, and provide companionship and exercise. I also keep the owner updated with regular messages or photos, so they feel confident their pets are safe and well-cared for while they’re away.

“Jasmine has been great and so patient with my dog. He gets very nervous with the strangers at first but she did really well with him. I would highly recommend her!”

“Elvis is doing weekly walks twice a week with our dog. He does a great job and Bodie loves him. He always sends pictures to keep us updated and takes Bodie on long and varied walks. Highly recommend!”

“Tracie is amazing. She has saved the day for me a few times already with last minute walks. She is wonderful with my dogs and always takes lots of pictures and gives them lots of love and attention!”

Rebecca F.

“The walker was poised, confident and professional. Handled our strong 1.5 y.o pooch handily. Helpful to know he is a dog dad (2) and was able to do a “get acquainted “ meet before the job. We look forward to working with him again!”

About: Hi there! I’m Rowyn, and I have wide availability this Fall. I’d be thrilled to care for your pets and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away!! I’ve spent years looking after the beloved pets of friends, neighbors, and family, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. At home, I currently have two cats, three fish, and a crested gecko. I also have experience with hedgehogs, mice, and bunnies. My skills include administering medication to both cats and dogs, maintaining good hygiene (like grooming and other cleanups), and most importantly providing consistent, attentive companionship! I genuinely love animals and always have fun playing with pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat just wants a cozy lap and some gentle pets, I’m here to help. :’) Feel free to reach out with any questions, or we can schedule a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members! Schedule: As a college student, my schedule varies but I have a wide availability. I can do weekends as well so I should be able to fit around any schedule you require! For drop-in visits I will give your pet(s) food and water, clean litter boxes and handle any messes your pet makes. I will also pet and play with them and just generally check up on them to make sure they're doing okay along with any special needs and attention your pet may require. I can also water house plants or maintain the house if you need me to.

“She was outstanding with my schnoodle who seems to be afraid of everybody. I would 100% use her again and recommend her to other people.”

“Dia is a fabulous person and dog walker! Eager to know all about your furbaby. Asks thoughtful questions. She is knowledgeable about dog training having taken classes. Thoughtful, kind and flexible. Grace took to Dia right away. Sent pictures too! We are so fortunate to have found Dia. She is a gem. Dia was also able to walk Grace on 8/6 and 8/7 with short notice. Dia is now our "go to" furbaby helper. A really wonderful person.”

About: Hi there. I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to care for your pet. They’re a treasured member of your family, and you want to feel confident that they’ll be safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve been caring for animals for around 20 years. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from shy and skittish to excited, playful, and fearful. Every animal has their own unique personality, and one of my favorite parts of this job is getting to know all the little details that make your pet who they are. Their routines, habits, favorite toys, funny quirks, and what makes them feel most comfortable all matter to me. When your pet is in my care, I tailor everything to their individual needs and follow your instructions closely. I’ll care for them as if they were my own and make sure they receive the attention, affection, exercise, and companionship they need. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates, especially when your pet is being silly or cute, so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing they’re happy and in good hands. I’m physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and high-energy dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. For additional peace of mind, in addition to the Rover Guarantee, I also carry my own premium Pet Care and Liability Insurance. I look forward to getting to know your pet better and becoming the best of friends. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.

About: I have owned all sorts of pets my whole life. I love dogs, cats, amphibians, reptiles, fish and small mammals. I would love to show your pet some love. I am a homeschooling, stay at home mom of 3 older kids. I can do any time of the day or night. Our schedule is flexible to your needs. We live in a wooded area which is great for dog walks. We are able to provide your fur baby with lots of love and enrichment. Small mammals and reptiles are welcome to stay at our house.

About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!

About: I have six years of hands on experience with dogs, including volunteering at the Baltimore SPCA, where I handled intake, socialization, and daily care for dogs of all temperatures. I have also trained the dogs that I have had. I work full-time, but my schedule rotates every three weeks — so I always have afternoons free after four, plus two full days off each week. That means I’m available for midday walks, evening visits, and weekend coverage without any gaps. My dogs get a set daily rhythm in the morning and evening walks, scheduled meals, and plenty of rest so I know firsthand what a consistent routine looks like from the inside. Also I follow the owner’s routine exactly feeding times, meds, play, potty breaks and send photo updates after each visit so they always know how their pet’s doing.

About: I have experience with large and small dogs, and several other animals, like pigs and hedgehogs! Raised with large dogs and love taking pups on long walks. I work part time and help my wife with their business, mainly working from home. I have plenty of time to take out your animals and provide them with any care they need. Crating, simple training, or just giving your elder dog company, I have patience and time for any pup. I can also send picture and video updates so you’ll never have to worry about your animals while you’re away!

About: 💗 If your pet needs someone who’s going to do more than just feed them and head out, I’m your girl!! I genuinely love getting to know each pets personality whether they’re the clingy type who follows you everywhere, the zoomers at night, or the pet who pretends they don’t like anyone (until they secretly do like my orange cat which is now super affectionate). 💗I have two cats of my own a boy orange cat who keeps me entertained every day and a girl black tuxedo cat who’s basically my little shadow. Having my own pets has taught me how much trust it takes to leave them with someone else, so I never take that responsibility lightly. I treat each pet I care for as I would my own. 💗 I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for around five years, caring for everything from fresh new born kittens/puppies to older cats/dogs who just want a quiet companion. I work as a travel home caregiver too, and actually a lot of my clients end up asking me if I can come back just to spend time with their pets when they’re away. I think animals can sense intentions from humans and want company for the ones who actually care and show them love. 💗 I’m a very patient person, so I don’t mind taking things at your pet’s pace. If they’re nervous, I’ll let them warm up to me. If they’re full of energy, I’ll match it. If you’re working on basic training or trying to keep them on a routine, I’m happy to help stay consistent while you’re gone. 💗 I know every pet is different, and that’s honestly my favorite part. Earning a pets trust and make to them feel comfortable is my goal. I want you as a pet parent to come home to a happy pet who was cared for and needs were attended as if you never left. Most mornings start with the gym or a run, then I meal prep before heading to work. I’m a Med Tech, GNA, and travel home caregiver, and I’m also studying Computer Science with a Nursing minor at Morgan State. On my days off, I’m usually reading with my book club, playing my PlayStation, or having a movie night. I keep a pretty balanced routine, so I always have the time and energy to give pets the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I look forward to pet sitting, it’s always the highlights of my week. I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I provide attentive care, regular feeding, fun playtime, and plenty of affection to keep them happy and stress free.

“Thank you Julia. We’ll reach out again soon.”

About: Hey! My name is Kyla, I have about 9 years of animal experience. I just graduated with a degree in Animal Behavior & currently work at a veterinary clinic! I have knowledge on medications, and experience with many different medical conditions. P.S. Your pets will receive photoshoots during their time with me!😊🐾 I just graduated college and I am working at a vet office part time, so i definitely need more animal time fit into my schedule!🫶🏽 I make sure to be very generous of the animals space as a lot of animals are protective and make sure they are as comfortable as possible!
