“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter with our pups!!!! Daily updates and pictures!!! Was wonderful in making us feel like our babies were in good hands!!!!”
“Ken did a wonderful job with Jackson! It was his first time with him. He was extremely communicative and kept me updated throughout the entire time with regular messages and pictures. It was so reassuring to see how well Jackson was doing and how much care Ken was giving him. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and the thoughtful updates — it made all the difference. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Angie, and her human and dog family, treated our Peanut like their own family. They expertly cared for him and putt at ease when we traveled far away. Angie handled an unexpected ear infection for my dog with patience and great updates and her photos and videos were loved by me & my own daughters. I can’t say enough good things about Angie! We consider Peanut part of the pack there and definitely plan on using them again for any future needs. ❤️”
“Priscilla treated my Dog Rourou as her own. She is so loving, patient and understanding! If you are stressed out (as I was) because you can’t seem to trust anyone to take care of your dog while you are away, then I would highly recommend Priscilla!”
“Jerry was so amazing with our dog, Puffin! It was our first time leaving him for an extended period of time since moving to Maryland, and I was having major anxiety about finding someone reliable. Jerry is such a kind person and followed all of my instructions. He sent daily updates and photos, which made me feel at ease. We will definitely be using him in the future and I highly recommend him! Thanks Jerry! :)”
“This was our first experience using Rover and it was great! Brittanie and Ryan were flexible and easy to communicate with, shared photos throughout our pet’s stay, and overall made it easy to be away without worrying about her. Would definitely return the next time we need pet care!”
“Karen and Patrick are the best! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with them and the pictures they sent showed that he was having a wonderful time. We will definitely use them again!”

“Virgina watched my retired guide dog Harry in her home while I was traveling for business. She made sure everyone would get along beforehand and took time to meet and talk with me. This was the first time Harry was staying with someone he didn't know and I was worried he'd be anxious. He had a good time with her senior dog Chip. I'll likely book with her again.”

We are truly thankful for her!”

We truly appreciate all your help. We’ll definitely hire you again in the future as our pet sitter. You’ve done an outstanding job!”

“Amie was AWESOME. I made the request on short notice and she was able to stop by for a meet and greet too. She was great with my cats, who are old and cranky and adjusting to a new house. She went above and beyond - finding my cat in a new hiding spot, and giving me updates on how they were adjusting to the new house. She also brought in packages for me, which was fantastic. Definitely recommend!”

“Peyton sent lots of pictures, always arrived on time, and most important of all, my cat loved her. I would definitely recommend if you need someone to watch your animals while you're away. Thank you, Peyton!”
“I’m not even sure where to start, Erin was AMAZING! We had an issue with the door handle that she took care of, the dogs had a rough day and she handled it, she got my mail, and even cleaned up some dog hair! One of our pups decided to go on a hunger strike and she got him eating again by hand feeding him! I would not hesitate for a second to have her back! She was the best and I highly recommend her!”

“I can’t say enough good things about the care my Duchess received from Lingli!! From the moment we arrived, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind and welcoming, and I truly appreciated the daily photo updates—it made being away from Duchess so much easier. Lingli's patience and flexibility, especially with my changing schedule due to meetings, meant the world to me. It’s rare to find someone who is both professional and genuinely loving toward pets, but she’s exactly that. Highly recommend!”

About: I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect.

Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.
“Brittanie and Ryan are amazing and caring couple. They have a lovely family and 2 beautiful dogs. We were made to feel very welcome in their house and they did everything they could to give Zoe a comfortable stay at their house. They are very responsive and communicate well. Zoe comes home happy after each stay at their house. We recommend them highly....”
“Danielle was so kind to accommodate us last minute for daycare. She asked plenty of questions to get familiar with my dog’s needs and was even willing to give him water from a plastic cup due to his pickiness. Looking forward to hopefully working with her again!”
About: I know how to train dogs, trained 2 dogs since middle school. I have always loved dogs. I know some emergency care especially if its a sensitive stomach issue.

About: Grown up with and around dogs - love to be outside and keep your furry friends comfortable and company! I have pretty open availability on weekdays. I am an incoming grad student for fall and have the summer off so am very open during the weekdays and can accommodate most schedules. I respect all homes and pets and leave the place/pet the same or better than I found it. I will make sure your dog has all it needs while you are gone.
About: Hi! I’m Stan — a lifelong dog and cat owner turned pet sitter based in Ellicott City, Maryland. I’ve spent my whole life around animals and caring for them has always come naturally. Whether it's a long walk with a pup or some quality playtime with a curious cat, I truly enjoy every moment spent with our furry companions. Although I’m new to Rover, my years of hands-on experience speak for themselves. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give your pet the same level of care and attention they get at home. I can provide pet sitting reviews from pet owners that I have provided services too outside of the Rover Platform. Working from home so I can visit your home during the day or care for your pet at my home. If you need a place to take your pet I have plenty of room at my single family home. Looking for pet sitting and house sitting in the Ellicott City and Columbia Maryland area. As a pet sitter, I make it my priority to ensure every dog and cat in my care feels safe, loved, and at home. I’m home most days, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay. I have a cozy house with space to play and comfy couches for cuddles—furniture is never off-limits here! I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, as well as all kinds of cats, including hairless breeds like the Sphynx. Whether your pet is energetic or laid-back, I adjust to their personality and needs. Long walks are no problem for pups who need more exercise, and I’m happy to visit the dog park if they’re friendly with other dogs. A stroll through the local park is also on the menu. My goal is to keep every pet in my care active, happy, and stress-free while you're away

Experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages/needs, including disabilities and special needs such as diabetes and paralysis. Trusted by neighbors and community members to care for dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits for 8+ years. I’d love to meet your furry family!

“Elizabeth took excellent care of Gracie. Very reliable. She communicated with me in regard to both scheduled walks, one feeding and giving Gracie her treats. When I arrived home, Gracie was so full of energy. I think she was trying to tell me of the wonderful day she had with Elizabeth - - her new friend.”
“Jaeda arrived on time for both the meet and greet and dog walk. She’s personable and took the time to get to know my pup a little better. She asked good questions about her habits and temperament. She was respectful of my home and pup!”
“Natasha is a dog whisperer! She’s fantastic with Keiko. I’ve been working with her for months now and she’s very reliable. She’s timely, great at communicating, and you can tell she really loves doggos. I’ve recommended Natasha to a few friends already and will continue to recommend her to anyone needing a reliable dog walker!”

About: It can be so stressful trying to find someone to care for your furry loved one(s) while you’re away; I would love to make it easier for you! I’m an animal lover through-and-through (if you’ve seen it I’ve probably thought about wanting to make friends with it) and I was a dog owner for many years to Samwise, a sweet miniature dachshund. Though I do not currently own any dogs, I am a proud auntie to my two furry nieces–Tetra, a loveable golden retriever and Zora, an energetic goldendoodle–who I routinely see and care for when their family is away. I’ve housesat for friends and family many times throughout the years, for both dogs and cats. Big or small, reserved or energetic, old or young, I’ve dealt with it. My own pets have passed recently and while I adjust to my routine of being a new mom I would love the chance to provide love, attention, and care for your animals. I have a lot of love to give! I currently work only a couple hours a day remotely so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule during the weekdays. I’m also available for most weekends. Nights are a little harder, as I have a little one at home, but not impossible–I have additional child care at home. When caring for your pet you can be rest assured that both your pet and home will be treated with respect. I will provide excellent service and if you’re not happy with me I will take no offense. I am a quick learner and good with constructive criticism and instruction. Just let me know :) Your pet’s care and safety is important to me.

My Ocean always comes home happy! I can always tell she is cared for like family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pet was safe, happy, and well taken care of. Not our 1st time, and definitely not the last!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“Terry was amazing! Super friendly, and we knew he was taking great care of our pup Lulu. He sent pictures every day, and we could tell he truly loved having her around. We will rebook him for sure!”
