“Maria was truly the best sitter we could have hired to watch after our two pugs and cat while we were gone for a week. She stayed in our house and far exceeded her expectations. She kept us updated on the animals daily and even gave them extra walks! Not only did she also keep the house clean (which is always so nice to come home to after a long trip) but she also took our trash to the curbs, checked our mail and cleaned linens after she left! I never had to worry about our pets when we were gone because I know they were in good hands. A huge bonus is that Maria also works remote, so I know she was able to be at the house with our pets for most of the day on any given day. I would highly, highly recommend Maria and we will 100% be using her again for any future travel! Thank you for being so amazing, Maria!!!”

“Angela was very prompt, responsible, and communicative. I booked her a few weeks in advance, she came over once to meet my dog and get an idea of her routine. She then came back the day before my trip for a refresher. She took care of my dog exactly as we had discussed and sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone. My home was exactly as I left it when I got back. Would definitely use Angela again!”

“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!”

“Alina is amazing! She is attentive and provides frequent updates that are detailed. I highly recommend using her. One of my dogs had a vomit issue and she handled it so well! Alina is also very sweet. I will definitely be contacting her again for when I’m traveling.”

“This was our first time having Emma house sit with our two pups. She was fantastic! Everything went smoothly and we loved that she spent time with them, not just dropping in and out. We already have her booked for another job.”

“Justine did a great job with my crazy crew and provided timely updates with super fast communication. I also appreciated her being available on relatively short notice. Would definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”

“Lindsey was amazing with my dogs who can be a lot at times. They immediately loved her and it’s wonderful to be able to travel and know your dogs are taken care of. I can’t enjoy my trips if I’m worried about the dogs and Lindsey provided constant updates so I knew they were in excellent hands.”

About: Hi there! I’ve spent over 9 years working as a veterinary technician at multiple animal hospitals, which gave me hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and needs — from playful puppies to gentle senior pets. I’m confident with everything from giving medications and handling special diets to providing extra snuggles and playtime. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. I pay attention to the little details that make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, fun games for mental stimulation, or simply making sure your fur baby gets plenty of cuddles, I’ll make their comfort my top priority. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during my midday break (9:30AM–2 PM) and evenings after 6:00PM. I’m also available on weekends for walks, playtime, or extended visits. My schedule is consistent, so you can count on me to provide reliable care around the same times each week. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. With my 9+ years as a vet tech, I’m confident in handling pets of all ages, personalities, and needs — including administering medications, monitoring special diets, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I create a calm, loving environment where they’ll feel secure and cared for. I follow your pet’s normal routines closely, so they feel at ease and comfortable. You can also count on me for regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away.

“Allison went above and beyond for our dogs. We have a very anxious 2 year old dog and Allison took the time to stop by several times before our vacation so the dogs could get used to her in the house. I know they were well cared for, walked and the anxious pup was getting closer to her by the end of the stay. Allison is 100% trusted in our house and with our dogs. We highly recommend her!”
“Erica was amazing! She took great care of my cat and sent constant updates. She was even kind enough to take out the trash for us and brought packages in! I will definitely be using her again! Highly recommend!”

About: Hi my name is Aayana, i am 28 and i live in the Glen Burnie area but i have a car and can easily travel to and from to walk your pet or to pet sit. I am very passionate about animals and their wellbeing! I’ve had pets all of my life and know the struggles of balancing work and pleasure while also caring for a pet. Generally my family or friends ask me to care for their pets when they are out of town, and I also regularly pet sit for 2 families throughout the year. I also used to be an independent contractor through “Love Those Paws” and “WAG” where i had dogs, cats and other animals to care for! When i’m not caring for pets you can find me enjoying a movie or tv show, painting, hoop dancing or doing hair or lash extensions. I take on demand walks in my free time but generally prefer scheduled/reoccurring walks. Im a small person (100lbs) so my max is 3 dogs to walk at a time and i generally try to find local paths to walk. I am experienced in administering medication for pets I create my own schedule, so i have (mostly) complete flexibility! Mondays & Tuesdays i take & pick up my child from school, so there’s about an hour in the morning and afternoon that i am not available. I do not do boardings at my own house as 2 of my cats have anxiety and introducing a new animal would cause unnecessary stress for them. However, i will do house sittings at the owners home! I currently have 2 families that i have worked with for 3 years that i house/pet sit for throughout the year.
“Linda was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my senior citizen dachshund and two cats for the weekend and provided me, a very nervous mom, with many pictures and updates while I was away. I highly recommend her!”


“Jennifer did a great job watching our dogs and cat (and bunny). Even with rough weather and power outages, the animals were in good hands. Thank you for keeping them healthy, happy and entertained.”

“Ryan is my pup Shyla’s new best friend! Ryan provided lots of great photos and updates for the short stay at our home. He even took her for a hike on her favorite local trail. ? She is currently waiting on the porch now for his return.? Thanks for being there for us Ryan. You maintained her routine and helped to minimize her separation anxieties. I just might have to be away again soon now that I know who I can call on!”
“Alise is the best! I came home from two weeks vacation to two very happy puppies. My family enjoyed the daily updates and photos. Alise was fantastic to work with and will recommend her to all my friends looking for a pet sitter. Very happy with her thoughtful communication throughout the process. Thanks, Alise!!”

Liz was a fantastic sitter for our Lily. She committed to periodic visits prior to our booking to allow Lily to get used to her. While away, Liz sent us regular updates and photos. We will definitely engage Liz for future services and absolutely recommend her to others.

This was my second booking with Alise, and it went just as well as if not better than the first! She has charmed my very skittish dog, which is no small feat. Alise is communicative, courteous, and kind, and sends daily updates with photos! Forever grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter.

We couldn't be happier. From the moment we met Linda, we felt completely at ease leaving both our dog and our home in her care. She was warm, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. While we were away, Linda kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was not only well cared for, but truly happy and comfortable. She also took amazing care of our home—everything was spotless and orderly. It’s not easy to find someone you fully trust with both your pet and your home, but Linda exceeded all expectations. We feel so lucky to have found her and will absolutely be using her again.

Camryn did a great job with our dogs! We will definitely try to work with her again in the future if her schedule allows. She was caring, provided photos during her time with them, and made us feel comfortable that our dogs were well taken care of in our absence. I would definitely recommend her to others.

Jayla took great care of our dog and cat, and our house, when she stayed with them while we were out of town. She reached out with updates and questions, sent photos, and left our house cleaner than we left it. We'll absolutely be using Jayla again when we travel!

Gabrielle housesat for me and my golden retriever Dora for a week. She was wonderful with Dora. She handled Dora's medication and dietary restrictions with no problem. Every picture Gabrielle sent throughout the week showed Dora happy and healthy on her walks and getting her snuggles. Gabrielle was also an excellent house guest, leaving the house clean and tidy. She even watered my plants and vacuumed up copious amounts of dog hair so I didn't have to come home to that! She was very communicative and checked in with me in regularly or if anything was out of the ordinary. I would definitely use Gabrielle again and highly recommend her!
