“We love Sarah!! I randomly found Sarah on Rover and it’s been so great! Sarah is friendly and my directions are always followed to a tee. She even was so sweet and watered my flowers for me! Highly recommend!!”
“Alyssa is the best, and legit the only person we trust with our kitties. You cannot go wrong with her, she truly cares and treats your pets as if they are her own. Thank you!! 🐈”
“Hannah was very responsive and helped us out on short notice the same day of our request. She kept us well informed and was kind enough to clean up our puppy’s pee when he first met her. He was quite pleased with her and we will definitely request her services again.”
“Jess is a very dedicated pet sitter! She made diligent notes and sent pictures of each visit during our 10 day absence. (Drop in visits 2x daily). She made “friends” with our big cat who is afraid of everyone. A big plus. She made special accommodations and arrangements for our pets, when having an emergency issue of her own. This was our first time using Rover and we are very pleased and hope to book with Jess again!”
“Kristen watched our 4 kitties for an extended weekend. She did a fantastic job. She was prompt each visit and did just as we requested. I will definitely use Kristen again in the future.”
“Samantha was wonderful. She took great care of my two cats when I was gone for 9 days. She showed up timely every day, was engaging with the cats, and sent me detailed reports and pics. Definitely recommend 100%.”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 16 for neighbors and friends. I love spending time with animals and making sure they are as happy as they can be. I have a good work schedule where I am home at 11:30 AM so I can care for pets while owners are at work during the day. I will follow any instructions given from the owner as well as be attentive to the pets needs. I will play and make sure the pet is happy and calm before leaving the home.
“Hannah is amazing! She cares for our dog like one of her own while we are away! She is reliable, trust worthy and caring. She even brings in packages if anything is left out! Do not hesitate to contact her for all your pet sitting needs!”
About: With experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, and aquatic animals, I’m glad to provide care to the pets who complete your family! I’m located in Sykesville, MD, but able to travel in central Maryland to meet your needs. I am available most week days, and with a few days notice, I’m glad to provide care on weekends to fit your pet care needs. Safety is a priority, along with care and engagement. While caring for pets, I look out for their safety by keeping a watchful eye on them, and always ensuring they are in a safe environment.
About: I have grown up around dogs since I was younger. I currently live with two dogs and two cats. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I am comfortable giving medications, keeping up with routines, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I’m also very reliable, easy to communicate with, and always happy to send photo updates while your away! Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I build my schedule around their routines to make sure they get the attention, care, and consistency they’re used to. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m flexible and reliable to meet their needs throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them with the same care and respect as I would my own. I stick to their usual routines, follow all instructions carefully, and create a calm, familiar environment so pets feel safe, relaxed, and at ease. Building trust is key—I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, and always ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being during every visit.
“Michelle was amazing. Our cat has congestive heart failure and requires medicine administered twice daily. He is also very timid around strangers, making it even harder for a sitter to give him his meds. We finally decided to try a sitter and quickly found Michelle. Michelle went above and beyond what I would have expected out of a sitter. Leading up to our trip, she stopped by many times to give our cat treats and allow him to get used to her. Michelle's visits were excellent. We really appreciated the updates and we're glad to see that everything was going well. Highly recommend, we will definitely be rebooking. Thank you!”
“Tony has been an excellent sitter for our 2 cats while we were away for a week. Thank you, Tony, for taking such great care of our fur babies and our home for us! Communication with Tony is easy and we had complete peace of mind while away. Thanks!”
About: I love working with animals! I grew up with 5 dogs and currently have a cat I adopted from SPCA! I currently work at a pet hospital and have a warm spot for animals. I love to give a voice to those who don’t have one and love to care for and give companionship to animals! I am currently working full time at an Animal Hospital. I get my schedule monthly and will have availability based on that schedule. I am always willing to make time for your pets whether that be after work or before! In your home I will care for your pets by letting them keep their normal routine! I will follow all rules and guidelines given while making sure your pet is cared for and happy!
About: In our home, your dog will enjoy a spacious backyard to run and play! We offer play time and cuddle time, with walks along our quiet street. I will take morning and afternoon walks with your fur baby and incorporate plenty of backyard playtime. Feeding times are up to the owner's discretion, and additional walks can be added if requested. I have a fenced yard that offers a safe enclosed area for your fur baby to play and enjoy. I pride myself on building a connection with your pet and adhering to the schedules of care provided by owners.
About: I am a compassionate individual who takes pride in caring for any pet. I pay extra attention to their needs, and how they are handled. I am flexible because I am home from college for the summer. I do not have many other commitments, other than a few set vacations. I care for pets the way I am instructed to, because I do not want to overstep any important boundaries. Pets are important to me.
About: I've worked with animals most of my life! I have raised trained and shown dogs. 40 years in the Veterinary Field , now retired, and rescues. I Have worked with and owned birds, rodents, reptiles, and aquatics. (fish salamanders, turtles and I even own an Axolotle!) Your pets will be well cared for and loved, as they are all a part of who I am. In your home, I will also not only clean up after myself, but water your plants, collect your mail, and fill bird feeders if needed. I am retired, so I have alot of free time. I will need to have a little time, occasionally, if I stay in your home, to run an errand, to the store, appointment, or a few hours of charity work, but that's all, the rest of the time will be given to your pets needs. And they will not be alone for extended hours. When I am in your home, I will need some time daily to run errands if needed. Essentially, I will do my best to stick to your pets normal routine, with a little extra spoiling and play time if allowed. No dog will be allowed off lead, when leaving house, unless you have good fencing and request it. All cats must remain indoors, unless the cat is specifically out door cat. I will need a written exclusion if it is. All caged animals must have clean and proper caging, depending on needs and length of stay, I can clean them for you. Aquatics shall be the same, I can change filters and treat, but not water changes.

Allison A.
“Allison is a sophomore in college with a work history in retail where she provided excellent customer service and had cash register responsibilities at Goodwill. She is CPR certified and excellent with kids of all ages. She is considerate, focused, and most importantly, very diligent with her care. She is routine-oriented so parents can trust she'll follow directions as instructed and will contact them with any concerns. Allison also had a part-time job driving kids home from school all last year, so she understands how to safely drive kids around, which some parents my have reservations about if there is no previous proven experience.”
Joan L.
“I am writing this to recommend Joan as an excellent pet caregiver. I have known Joan for 30 years. We have worked together at two different pet hospitals. Joan has a huge heart and cares deeply for dogs, cats, pocket pets, birds, reptiles and even wildlife. I would trust Joan to care for my own fur babies and notice if they were not feeling well, scared or anxious. I would call Joan a dog whisperer! Thank you so much for allowing me to share my testimonial.”
