“Maria has been great for me and my dogs. She immediately won them over during our meet and greet. She send regular updates and photos which are much appreciated while I’m gone. I can also tell she truly cares by the questions she asks regarding the dogs needs.”
“Lina is highly responsible and loving to our dog. She is an excellent communicator and goes the extra mile to make sure our dog is comfortable and well taken care of. I have total confidence in Lina's care.”
“Irene is simply fantastic. She is prompt, asks a lot of questions to ensure she is prepared, and quick to respond. She has been kind when our schedule has changed and my dog loves her. Cant recommend enough!”
About: Animals have been in my family for as long as I could remember! When it was my time to take care of them, I loved them till my heart broke. I took care of my first ever pet fish, Rudolph, in elementary school till his last moments of life, the fish life can be simple but the work put into the fishes care can help create a fun and relaxing environment. After Rudolph, I have the pleasure of having the family dog Angel. A lovely pit bull mix, who made being fun and rambunctious seem to be the best characteristics in life. Later when I started high school, I had my first cat Lucy, who lived for a very long time until my junior year in college. I understood that cats are very laid-back, however I also understood that each cat has a unique personality, and like humans, take some time to see their personality. Very recently I take care of 2 cats with my mom named Rambo and Misty, we have had these kittens turned cats for a year and they still show me more and more how each cat is unique. I take care of these cats by providing a space of care, most people may think that cats are easy animals because they take care of themselves, but I realize that cats need to be taken care of as well in ways of having someone to play with, to having someone to cuddle with to having someone clean their litter box every day. My motto with animals is that, they should be treated with the same respect of humans. They should receive similar care and loving that we give to humans because of how much they do for us. And with my experience I have seen plenty of animals and I am always open to learning more about them. I have recently graduated from undergrad at McDaniel so as I am finding my footing in the world I currently strive to care for animals in my free time. With that I currently take care of my 2 cats almost every other hour, to feed them or to provide them cuddles and pets and when they need food or clean water bowls, I ensure they are done with integrity. I hope with the chance of taking care of your pets, I will have a new weekly routine. As mentioned, with my 2 cats, I let them get to know me in ways that can establish a sense of trust within me. Sticking to the daily routine of my client can help that process stick to where we can possibly make new connections similar to best friends creating a handshake to show the world their unique relationship, I would strive to do the same with your pets. When pets are seeing someone new they are nervous like humans, and if I can make sure when they see me, they can relax and possibly have fun I have done my job as a sitter, or a walker!
“Britney is amazing! She was super flexible in scheduling a meet-up that worked with my work schedule and Potter loved her!! (My cat, Nugget, even came out to play!) After walking my pup, Britney even played with him, too! Potter would definitely recommend!”
“Catherine did not hesitate to walk my dog when I needed someone last minute! She was caring and listened to my requests when it came to my pup! Will definitely be rebooking her for the future!”
“Lady was excellent - she has trouble entering our apartment due to a front desk error but she was in contact with me and so patient. I'm looking forward to her meeting Lexie in the future for a walk!”
“Alex did a great job walking my senior pup the past two weeks! He's very responsive on the app and was even willing to be flexible on the timing when something came up last minute. I recommend him for anyone looking for a dependable walker. Thanks Alex!”
“We have been looking for the best fit in dog walkers for our rescue pitbull. He found a great match in Michael! Michael is attentive, kind, communicative, interactive, and consistent. Our dog really enjoys being around him and listens to his directives.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience in pet-sitting, which means I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, cats, sick animals, and behaviorally-challenged animals. I am also a proud pet owner myself - I have a 14-year old rescue dog named Greta, and I often cared for 3 of my roommates' cats in college (Luna, Socks, and Boo Radley). What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will care for your pet like they are my own, meaning constant love and attention, as well as careful attention to detail. I take your care instructions very seriously and follow directions to a tee. Every pet has unique needs, and it is my pleasure to not only meet those needs but also to make sure they are happy and as calm as can be. Because I work remotely, I can be available to pet-sit all day if needed. If my family isn't home, I will need to return a few times a day to care for my own furry friend, but please know that being of service to you means YOUR pet is the priority! Unfortunately, my pup (Greta) is pretty antisocial, which means I am unable to host dogs at my house. Because I live with my parents, they can take care of Greta while I am gone, and I am more than happy to stay at your house as long or as often as you need. I will always make sure your pet gets fed accurately, adequately, and punctually, and always has fresh water available. I also love to play with pets and make sure they get enough outdoor time and exercise if needed! Additionally, I always clean up after myself and your pet, and I make it my goal to leave your home just as it was when I arrived, if not cleaner. If I stay overnight, I always wash the sheets and linens, as well as clean any counter or surface I use.
“I recently moved here from PA with my dog (Atlas). New state, new job and I really needed a pet sitter while I was at work. I won't lie - I was scared to trust someone with my fur baby. After the first week of walks I could tell Atlas really enjoyed being around Crissy and that genuinely made me at ease. Crissy is very reliable, communicates well, and most importantly is attentive when caring for my Atlas. She goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of my fur baby. One instance was when I misplaced his raincoat and Crissy came to the rescue- she let him borrow a raincoat and made sure he didn't get soaked. No words can describe my gratitude. I genuinely believe Crissy is top-tier and deserves all the praise!!! Atlas and I highly recommend :)”

“Stephanie has been an exceptional dog walker for our golden retriever, Willie, consistently showing up on time three days a week without fail. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly cares deeply about the pets she looks after. Willie always gets long, engaging walks, and it’s obvious he enjoys his time with her. Stephanie does a fantastic job keeping us informed with detailed updates, including bathroom breaks and how he’s doing at home. We feel completely confident and grateful to have her taking care of Willie.”
About: I’ve taken care of furry friends/ family, cats and dogs, for four years. I’m open to only in-home servicing and day care or walks😊 I’m currently working part-time, so I will have availability for all fur babes M–F 12:00pm-7:00pm and Saturdays after 2:00pm. I go into clients’ homes, as is, check on, walk and sit and play with fur babies. After I return them to their homes or crates until the next visit.
“Elise is fantastic! She is so reliable and respectful. Her communication when taking care of my pup is always so reassuring! 10/10 would recommend her for any of your pets!”
“Diana was great! It was our first time hiring a dog walker. She made the process easy and sent lots of pics! Both my boys were happy and healthy after our time away. Diana arrived promptly and spent lots of time with both my dogs. She also responded quickly to any messages to any inquiries I had. I would recommend Diana and will definitely use her services again!”
Upper Northwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
We loved having Michelle sit for Penny! The whole experience was completely seamless. Michelle followed Penny's normal walking routine perfectly, so Penny barely noticed we were gone. She is super responsive and wonderful with updates. We will absolutely be booking her again!
Ugo does an exceptional job walking my pup (who apparently considers humans to be her butlers) and then watering and feeding her at the conclusion of the walk. She is very calm and gentle to which my dog responds well. She is definitely a dog whisperer. Highly recommend Ugo to care for your for babies.
Alex was so warm, calm, and easygoing that he immediately made us feel comfortable, especially since this was our first time hiring a pet sitter. He took the time to get to know our husky, listened carefully to all of our instructions, and made sure our pup was well cared for, walked, and able to go potty. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. Thank you, Alex, for making our first Rover experience such a positive and wonderful one!
Carys was great with Harley! She always gave her long walks, was super kind, responsible, and easy to talk to. Communication was always great and I always felt comfortable knowing Harley was in good hands. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she works with. I would definitely recommend her!
Very happy with the service provided. The request was semi last minute as I'm dealing with family issues, but we were able to work something out. She met up with the dogs and I prior to the walk to discuss their specific needs and to meet them. During the walk(s) she was very communicative, thorough and attentive to the point where I felt like I was walking my own dogs lol. Bottom line, this isn't a 1 and done, I will be requesting her services again, I suggest you do the same.
Sophie was wonderful with my pup!! She was kind, patient, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. What I appreciated most was her flexibility. She was willing to meet with me and my dog on short notice, which meant a lot!! She was friendly, reliable, and her communication was top tier. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker. I am rebooking her right now :)
Michelle was amazing. My pittie can be very territorial and energetic and Michelle was very understanding and patient in getting to know my dog. I definitely recommend Michelle if you’re in need of any services and/or have a pet that can be a bit of a challenge behaviorally. 10/10
