“Rodney and Marissa were absolutely incredible in watching our 6 year old English Bulldog. The communication was open and timely. They even sent pictures during his brief stay. Thank you for taking such good care of Taz.”
“Phyo is a patient and excellent sitter! My dog, Tony can sometimes be a bit difficult, and Phyo was patient during our first meet and greet. He also lives in a great neighborhood, so you can be rest assured that you furry friend will have a great time staying with him. I will be using Phyo again!”
“Felice and family took wonderful care of our puppy. It was his first time using Rover and it appears that he loved it! We received lots of photos during his stay. Their great dogs kept him busy and in line! Highly recommend Felice and hope to become a repeat client ?”
“Ashley was great with our Golden Retriever Luna over the weekend! She sent us many photos and videos and took her for daily walks. Having kids around was an extra since our dog loves playing with children! Definitely recommend her :)”
About: I’m a loving pet mom who enjoys caring for animals, giving them attention, affection, walks, playtime, and making them feel safe and comfortable every day. I work an early schedule from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, playtime, and attention. I’m off Sundays and Mondays, giving me even more flexibility for pet care and boarding. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy time outside. I also have two dogs and a cat at home, so I’m used to caring for multiple pets. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and instructions closely while providing plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and walks. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our puppy dog received from Jena! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. We received daily updates with videos and pictures, which were such a comforting touch and really showed how much fun he was having. It was clear he was being treated like one of the family. When he came home, he was happy, healthy—and completely exhausted from all the playtime and attention! We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Marwa and Casey are amazing! Marwa is detail oriented and ensured Beanie felt at home as much as possible. They supplied us with updates throughout the day and were very responsive all times of the day. They took care of Beanie very well, 1000% will be booking again!”
“Major immediately clicked with Chris and her fiancé at the meet & greet. Chris has a bubbly personality and the area where she lives is very pet-friendly. Chris is a blessing, and we anticipate Major having many more vacations with her.”
“Brittanie & Ryan were amazing! I had never used this service before and was a bit nervous. They were great and explained how it worked, and I met them before booking to make sure it was a good fit for all of us. It really was!! I could tell they took care of my dog as well as their own. They sent pictures throughout the week and texted back right away with any questions that I had. I can’t thank them enough and would definitely recommend them 100%! What a wonderful family and they loved Lucky and he was so happy with them and their family.”
“Cody had a great time! I received multiple pictures a day of him playing outside, getting belly rubs and watching squirrels. Whenever we take another family vacation, James and Mary will be the first contact we make. We know Cody is in good hands.”
“My second time booking! Always a great experience, even with least minute request. Feels great knowing my fur baby is in good hands with all the updates and pics she sends to me daily💙”
“Lingli was so sweet and attentive the entire stay and was great about sending videos and pictures. My cat was taken care of so well and she's a really great communicator.”
“As usual, Nicole was absolutely incredible! Taz stayed with her overnight and from the pictures she sent you would think he was at a fun doggy daycamp, all smiles in every shot. He loves spending time with Nicole and her family and I could tell how comfortable and happy he was. I’m so thankful for their attentive care. On top of that, I reached out last minute and she didn’t hesitate, she even came to pick him up. Her service is truly impeccable and I’m beyond grateful to have someone I can trust with my son.”
“Theresa is exceptional! We were a bit nervous to leave our boy, Otto, for the first time. Daily check ins from Theresa put us at ease. It was clear from the pictures that he was as comfy and happy as can be in Theresa’s home. We will definitely be reaching out to Theresa next time we have to leave our boy in good hands.”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Another amazing stay! Rey is always incredibly responsive and responsible. He is great with our dog (who is sometimes scared of/ reactive with other dogs). We went on vacation knowing she was well cared for. Grateful for Rey’s Roof!”

About: I’ve spent eleven years as a go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and local clients. Whether it’s daily walks, or keeping up with feeding routines, I bring patience and enthusiasm to every job. I love making sure pets are content and stress-free while their owners are away. I work weekdays, so I’m available to pet sit in the evenings, on weekends, or on my days off, usually about twice a month on average I’m a careful and attentive pet sitter, always respecting each pet’s unique needs during walks and home visits. With confidence in caring for all types of animals, I ensure every pet feels safe and loved.

“I had the pleasure of working with Casie sitter for my cat, Storm, and she was absolutely phenomenal. From the start, she was well-prepared and proactive in her approach to caring for Storm. Her communication was clear and consistent, and her knowledge about cat care was evident throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing Storm was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Casie to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter—I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Quinn is a sweet person and a loving animal sitter. She seemed very trustworthy too. My poor kitty has PTSD and suffers from nervousness and Quinn had him on his back submissive showing his belly the day after I left.🐈 I wish I could use her again but she will be in college for my next vacation. She also has a professional camera and sent me amazing pics of my little man the 4 days I was gone. 💙”
About: I’m taking a break from work to pass an exam. I now have all day availability and I adore dogs! I have grown up with dogs my entire life and now I have two of my own! I’ve helped out with Lab Rescue and I’m currently looking to help out with BARCS. I love dogs so much and I will treat them as part of my family! I have all day availability 8am through 10 pm. I’m very flexible and willing to work together to do what I can to make anything work! I will follow anything asked! If there are specific harnesses used, your dog is muzzle trained, etc.. I am willing to learn whatever I need to to keep your pet and everyone safe.
“Emily did a terrific job for us. She was punctual, diligent and, most importantly, very kind to our pets. One of our cats is diabetic and requires shots twice a day. Emily followed all of the instructions for feeding and dosing him and his blood sugar was spot-on when we came home. I cannot say enough good things about Emily. We will gladly hire her again.”
About: I owned a dog for 13 years before she passed away, I was in charge of feeding her and I would take care of her while my parents were gone. I also have watched cats several times while they’re owners are away. I work 2 part time jobs, so weekday care might look differently than the weekend, but I am always willing to try and fit watching your pet into it my schedule! When I had my own dog I would feed and give water to her everyday, take her out to potty multiple times a day, take her on walks, and play. With cats, I always make sure they’re fed and have water, litter box is clean, and if they would like to play I play with them!

About: Hello! Thank you for considering me for caring for your fur baby! Dog walking, drop in visits, boarding, and doggy daycare services available! I work full time from home and have the flexibility to entertain, walk, or cuddle your pup for the majority of the day. If you dog comes to my home, I own a 6 year old golden retriever and your dog can join us on the many walks we take! If your dog prefers a solo walk, I am a very active person so I have no issue providing them that 1:1 attention! I am experienced with medication administration as well as dogs with special needs. Your pup will get all the cuddles, pets, and walks that he or she desires. I work full time from home, so I am available most week days for walks and playtime. I am able to provide boarding services during the week and weekend. I have a 6 year old golden retriever who loves to make new friends. My yard is not fenced but I am able to take pups for many walks. Dogs are free to play inside my home. I am home most of time during the work day and have a crate available if need be.
About: I have had pets since a child (duck, rabbit, dogs, cats, iguanas) and just love them. I let dogs take their time when exploring and I don’t rush them unless I see that they have found a Scooby snack. Most dogs prefer to sit in my lap even when in the presence of their owner. They love me and I love them even the sassiest of them. I work from home which allows me to be available 24 hours a day. If your pet is a foodie, they will love it here (salmon bites, duck necks, chicken feet, ice cream, pup cups and frozen fruit on hot days). I will send an update the first evening and the morning after so you are certain that they have settled in. Thereafter I will send a picture or video daily but you are welcomed to check in at any time. My assistant Imani (my mom who lives with and assists with sitting), also enjoys loving on and helping with your babies. She may help with check in/ check out and walks. **I now have a cat and cannot accept dogs that aren’t cat friendly. I also cannot accept unfixed dogs and dogs that aren’t housebroken. I walk 3-5 miles in the morning and another in the evenings (less depending on the weather). I would love to take your baby along. I have a friendly dog. I use baby gates and can also crate your dog (you must bring the crate with you). They would sleep in my bedroom on the dog beds and have free range of the house (except the kitchen which has a gate up).
“Maverick already loves his “grandparents” so much. We really appreciated the updates and pictures. He only did a day care day so far, but he was exhausted from his great day. We knew he was in great hands and are happy to have caring sitters for the future!”

“Amber was very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. When we returned to pick up our dog he was very relaxed and I could tell he was comfortable and had a great time under Amber’s care. I would strongly recommend her to anyone and she will be the first person I contact if I need a dog sitter in her area again.”
“Ken and Felice are awesome! Definitely going to book with them again! :) Amazing communication and planning.

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 work remotely from home on my computer so I spend a lot of time at home and my hours are flexible. I like to go out and get exercise during the day which is a great opportunity for me to also walk the dogs so your pups will get plenty of exercises. I've been an around dogs my whole life. I had a fun energetic husky growing up and now I have a chill Cotton De Tulier as my best friend. We get into a lot of crazy adventure together. I love taking road trip with my dog to the beach in the summer. Dogs are up for anything and they are the best companion. I love to have more dog if I can afford it but this gig seems like a great idea to have more dogs as well. A lot of people have to give away their dogs to shelters because they can't take care of them and that's really sad. This is my way of making a contribution so people can keep their best friend and still find time to do things they need to do. Hope I can be a great help and looking forward to meeting you and your dog.
“Casie was great! It was our dog’s first time being walked by someone else and he loved her. She sent lots of pictures and gave Koal lots of love while we were gone.”
About: I have owned dogs all my life all shapes and sizes. I have been trained and volunteer for MDSPCA and the Baltimore Humane Society. I believe it’s important that all dog’s feel loved and taken care of and are as much a family member as anyone else. I know how important interactive play is and enrichment. Keeping a dog in their own environment is best for their well being. Kennels can be very noisy and stressful to the average dog. I know as a pet owner myself having your dog with a trusted person is critical. I also have a medical background so I would be ready for any emergency., if it should arise. I have no Problem giving medication to your pet if needed I am recently retired and I am looking forward to devoting my time to caring for dogs. My schedule is very flexible and ready to start. I have a fenced in yard and have cared for dogs of all sizes. I make sure they are safe and loved and having fun..
About: *UPDATE*- I am back at college so I am available around the Owings Mills area in MD! I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I currently have 6 cats, a senior dog and a fish named Pedro, after the infamous Pedro Pascal. I’ve dealt with animals healthy and disabled, I’ve also dealt with animals of all sizes including horses! I rode horses for 14 years of my life and I’ve dealt with animals as small as a fish. For $15 extra I can do a professional photography photo shoot with the pets and include 5 digital photos and 1 complimentary 8x10 print 😊 I am currently a Junior at Stevenson University, so the pets I sit need to be okay with being let alone for a couple of hours while I attend classes. I also work part-time as a student film worker at my university's equipment room, and that's about ten hours a week. I care for pets very cautiously. I love all animals and want to make sure all pets are happy and safe within the environment I create.

I clean their two litter boxes every other day or more if needed. For dogs, I can walk, feed, cuddle, and play with them as much as they want. I can also crate when I leave your home if needed.

“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: Hike 15-20 miles/week. Love big active dogs. Volunteer dog walker and transporter for Baltimore Humane Society. Volunteer with Geo Vets, International. Dog/house sitting experience. I have a very flexible schedule and loads of time to wear your dog(s) out! My preference is a wooded hiking trail as they will be stimulated by the variety of scents, but can do your neighborhood if that’s better for you. I have been trained in various dog behavior techniques and will employ “4 on the floor” at a minimum in order to get a leash or harness on and avoid over excitement.
“Roy and his wife Shernette are very experienced dog walkers. They are wonderful people and enjoy taking good care of your pets. My dog would be stuck in her crate all day but now has a better life thanks to Shernette. Awesome service!”
About: My life is catered towards animals. I work as a Canine Coach at a local small business where I guide up to 50 dogs to have a fun and safe day each day. With my own animals I love hiking, various dog sports, adventures and training for fun. I have fostered numerous puppies for a local rescue and trained them until they found their forever homes. I rescued my own dog and helped him build his confidence, he was extremely fearful even afraid of me and he has blossomed in my care. I work at a local doggy daycare during the week not far from my home. In the morning all pets get individual attention and exercise before breakfast when i go to work. Each animal has their own private area to relax during the day. At lunch time everyone gets a potty break and an interactive game. At dinner they again get individual attention that meets their needs. Everyone sleeps in the bedroom with me overnight. Weekends we go on lots of adventures and play all day long. I will follow any and all instructions you provide so don’t hesitate to ask. No request is too big and I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is perfectly cared for.
“Honestly, I really couldn’t be more impressed with someone I e never met before or even seen face to face. Jess’s professionalism with her rover reports and keeping me up to date on everything and everything far exceeded my expectations. I felt weird at first because this is my first experience using this app and Jess was even able to help me understand how the app works and walk me through a lot of things I didn’t think of doing. She went the extra mile to take care of my two dogs and what made it even better was her enthusiasm towards everything. I had no doubts after talking to her initially during the booking process that my dogs would get the love and attention they deserved and at the same time still were being trained the way I wanted them too. I never leave reviews on anything, even if I went out to eat at a restaurant and I got the worst meal ever imaginable I still wouldn’t leave a review. The reason why I am leaving the review is because for someone that goes above and beyond like Jess and needs a good reputation to continue getting clients, I would be saying I didn’t appreciate anything she did by not leaving a review. Also everyone should have Jess to watch after their beloved pets!”

“Marwa and Casey are amazing! Marwa is detail oriented and ensured Beanie felt at home as much as possible. They supplied us with updates throughout the day and were very responsive all times of the day. They took care of Beanie very well, 1000% will be booking again!”
“Major immediately clicked with Chris and her fiancé at the meet & greet. Chris has a bubbly personality and the area where she lives is very pet-friendly. Chris is a blessing, and we anticipate Major having many more vacations with her.”
“Cody had a great time! I received multiple pictures a day of him playing outside, getting belly rubs and watching squirrels. Whenever we take another family vacation, James and Mary will be the first contact we make. We know Cody is in good hands.”
“My second time booking! Always a great experience, even with least minute request. Feels great knowing my fur baby is in good hands with all the updates and pics she sends to me daily💙”
“As usual, Nicole was absolutely incredible! Taz stayed with her overnight and from the pictures she sent you would think he was at a fun doggy daycamp, all smiles in every shot. He loves spending time with Nicole and her family and I could tell how comfortable and happy he was. I’m so thankful for their attentive care. On top of that, I reached out last minute and she didn’t hesitate, she even came to pick him up. Her service is truly impeccable and I’m beyond grateful to have someone I can trust with my son.”
“Theresa is exceptional! We were a bit nervous to leave our boy, Otto, for the first time. Daily check ins from Theresa put us at ease. It was clear from the pictures that he was as comfy and happy as can be in Theresa’s home. We will definitely be reaching out to Theresa next time we have to leave our boy in good hands.”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Another amazing stay! Rey is always incredibly responsive and responsible. He is great with our dog (who is sometimes scared of/ reactive with other dogs). We went on vacation knowing she was well cared for. Grateful for Rey’s Roof!”
“Thank you so much for taking our giant Newfie in for our wedding week! Gumpy had such a good time there. We had no worries at all while we were away! We knew he was in great hands. We loved all the photos and updates. We can't thank you enough for taking in our giant puppy, he will definitely be back!”
“Steven is absolutely wonderful! Knows dogs very well. Highly responsible, attentive, and organized. We felt very safe leaving our pup with Steven on short notice for an extended stay.”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Lydia was fantastic! She welcomed her home to us with her lovely family including her chickens during our meet and greet. We proceeded to boarding 2 nights with her. Her home provided a warm, cozy and energetic vibe for our Poodle who is out going and craves human interaction. Lydia was not familiar with poodle grooming initially but after a quick demonstration and positive feedback she mastered it in no time. I appreciated her attention to detail, ability to communicate throughout the day and her willingness to learn how to care for specific dog breeds. It was a mutual rewarding experience and she even supervised her children doing obedience training with our pup.”
“Kellyn took great care of our dog! We appreciated the periodic updates. I can tell that she went above and beyond in making sure Mariner was safe and comfortable. We look forward to booking again!”
“I am most appreciative of the kind care that Alexis gave to my pup. And am even more grateful for the pictures and messages that he sent to me to put my mind at ease. Knowing that she was doing well helped me to enjoy my time away.”
