Personalized care for your dog or cat - Baltimore
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Baltimore
“Thank you soooo much Lia! She really came in clutch with the last minute booking in the middle of a snow storm! Long story short I work at the ER and was expected to stay over at least for 5days to cover outa due to the snow. She accepted “Kash” the day of and treated him so well. How do I know this you ask? Because for one I’ve had other people watch my dog before and he came back to me timid and afraid. So I knew something wasn’t right. But Lia she kept me involved every step of the way and answered whenever I contacted her in record time. If she will have us we will definitely be returning 💕 She’s a true animal lover and it shows😇”
“Maurie received lots of TLC, plus Veronica kept me up to date with photos and texts. My pup came home very calm and relaxed after his stay. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Kyra is a fantastic sitter! She took great care of my husky during a long weekend trip. She was very accommodating with our pickup time when our flight got delayed due to weather. Will re-book with her again in the future!”
“Two great people!! Dropped my pup off with these two because I had to go out of town for a funeral. They were so nice and welcoming. My dog was well taken care of and they sent pics daily. They are so nice. You won’t be disappointed!”
“This was my first time using Roover and I can say Jessica surpassed my expectations for a sitter. I was hesitant to leave our puppy with just anyone, but after meeting Jessica I knew he was in good hands. I look forward to using her in the future.”
“After multiple sitters canceling, I found Rover and Danielle, who was happy to watch Remi at the last minute. The universe knew what it was doing, as Danielle and Remi bonded the moment they met. As he spent the majority of his life as a puppy mill papa, Remi can be challenging. As a teacher and a mom, Danielle had the skills and patience to work with him. She kept us updated throughout the weekend and it was easy to see the Remi was happy and content. I’m fairly certain Remi didn’t want to come home !! We couldn’t be happier to have found someone to care for our dog like one of her own! Next time we need somebody to care for our pup, she will absolutely be our first call!”
“Sarah, her family and her pup Jack were all so very wonderful! I think Frisbee and Jack are now bffs, and she’d love to go back! Sarah let us even let us Chang”
“Shruti did an amazing job with Prince! She treated him just like her own dog. He was well cared for and loved. She sent nice pictures while I was away. I don’t think Prince missed me at all; he was so happy with Shruti.”
“Shanikki was great! Watched Coal over the weekend, and I could tell from the start he'd have a good time and be safe under her care. Space was more than accommodating for my dog, and she showed him a lot of love and attention to help manage his separation anxiety. Also had great communication and updates on him with very prompt responses. Will definitely book again. ✨️”
“Shipra took good care of our dog. She walked and played with him. Her dog Trevor is very nice and well behaved. My dog is tiny but got along really well with him. I would love to keep my dog with her again!”
“Robin was great and very kind! Our dog has separation anxiety and Robin took great care of her. She sent us pictures and videos, and kept us updated throughout the week.”
“Maryfe was amazing! She was responsive, kind, and incredibly understanding, especially when my flight was canceled and I needed to extend Henry’s stay by an extra day. She treated Henry like family and gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and the love she showed Henry.”
“Tsiky had a terrific stay with Meredyth and Kevyn. A very happy pup returned to me quite exhausted by the wonderful play times she had. M, K & their family are great!”
“Highly recommend Karla! Dodger was right at home! We loved Karla’s updates and photos, showing him having fun on neighborhood walks, eating his meal, and snuggling. Karla asked so many helpful questions to make sure that Dodger and she had everything they needed.”
“OMG, Awesome!! Nicole and her family were the perfect overnight host for Rex!! They were engaging and attentive with Rex. He ate up the attention!! I booked 2 more future bookings because Rex and I received good vibes from them, 100 thumbs up 👍 for Nicole and her family !!”
“Aida was a wonderful sitter and my dog had a great time with her! He enjoyed time spent in her large yard, many walks, and an overall comfortable stay. She shared frequent updates and pictures, and was happy to adapt to my dog’s routine and quirks. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy my trip, knowing my dog was in fabulous care.”
“Daniel took very good care of my senior dog. His pups are very friendly and good company for my old dog. Dog was happy when I picked him up. Daniel sent many pics during the stay. I would have him take care of my dog again.”

“Ashley was an amazing cat sitter! She came by ahead of time to see the layout and meet my cat, which I really appreciated. While I was away, I got updates and and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. She’s incredibly dependable, and my cat absolutely loved her. I felt completely confident knowing my cat was in such good hands and would 100% book her again.”
“Lindsay was great! Professional, friendly, and caring. She dropped in twice a day to take care of our cat, Noxy, and even came over prior so we could introduce them both. Lindsay’s summaries and photos of each visit let us know Noxy was being well taken care of and described her personality perfectly. We felt very comfortable knowing Noxy was in such good hands and we’d highly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Kathleen was wonderful to work with! We appreciated her thoughtfulness and were able to travel with peace of mind. We hope to get to work with Kathleen again in the future.”

“Tanner is such a great sitter and we feel lucky to have found him. He is so reliable and capable, and we felt like he could handle whatever came up with his calm and sensible manner. Not to mention, he is an overall nice person and exactly the type of fellow we would trust with our home, plants, and beloved cat.”
“There is a reason James is so highly rated! He was very prompt and professional and certainly has a way with animals. Our cats are generally very skittish around strangers, but they instantly took too him and trusted him.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Baltimore
“Veronica is amazing! Lily had the absolute best time there playing with her dogs, receiving further potty training, and I got the best updates throughout the day. She’ll definitely be returning, thank you Veronica!!”
“Cannot say enough good things about the Woofotel. Flexible with scheduling. Caring with my pups. They can't get inside fast enough and they are asleep as soon as their head hits the couch after a day of play. Though - be warned, they foster some super cute dogs and you may end up adopting a 2nd.”
“esterline was so accommodating for a last minute request and so sweet and welcoming to solo. he walked right into her home like he had been there before. she even took him on a nice walk and a visit to the dog park where he had a blast!! so thankful for esterline!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic with our dog Lupin. She picked him and dropped him off every day which was such a help. He also adored playing with her puppy!”
About: I adopted my first dog when I was 12, and the rest, as they say, is history! I have experience pet sitting for neighbors and friends, from puppies to senior dogs, including animals with medication needs. When I haven't had dogs of my own, I've been involved with fostering to get both cats and dogs ready for their forever home. I'm a hybrid worker with a flexible work schedule, so I'm available throughout the day, for whatever your pet(s) need, whether that's a midmorning walk, an afternoon play session, or meals at specific times of the day! I have a small fenced in patio, and I'm open to working with you to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and safe. I have experience with obedience training, crate training, and animals with special requirements, and I will do whatever is necessary to meet your pet's individual needs.
“Karla was amazing with Clea (as always!) She was available for a last minute booking after another Dogsitter cancelled. Clea had a great time, and we received lots of updates and photos. Karla was very accommodating with the booking times as well. Highly recommend her to others!”
“Shanikki is great with all dog breeds and they feel comfortable in her care. She is great at communicating and always gets back to booking requests promptly. So thankful for her great pet sitting!”
“My 4 month old puppy had another great day at Rey’s. He has fun playing with other dogs. I also love the great pics that Rey sends. He always comes home tired which is wonderful!”
“Daniel was so great! We were passing through on a road trip and put in a last minute request for some dog sitting so my daughter and I could go to the aquarium- we were greeted by a very excited pack of dogs, ready to play. Daniel took our dog on a nice long walk and she had lots of playtime as well as relaxing time. The photos he provided make it clear that she felt right at home and very relaxed. When we came to collect her, Daniel made sure to give her one more big round of scritches, at which point I’m pretty sure she was ready to stay with him forever. We will definitely reach out to Daniel again if we are ever passing through again and need a pet sitter!”
About: I've cared for everything from birds and hamsters to cats and dogs! As a teacher and former daycare worker, I bring a calm, nurturing presence that pets (and babies!) naturally respond to. Whether it’s playful puppies or senior pets needing gentle care, I treat every animal like family. Since I am a teacher, I get summer off. My last day is June 18th, so after my last day my schedule is very flexible. I will be available every day of the week. My cats are indoor and I feed them in the morning when I wake up and before going to sleep. If the client has a dog, I like to take the dogs to the park or on a long walk and ensure they get physical activity. I feed them according to their schedule and make sure they get lots of snuggles throughout the day.
About: 10 years fostering dogs with a local shelter—puppies, medical cases, reactive dogs, seniors, and the shy ones who need extra patience. My favorites are large dogs and blockheads (staffies, rotties, pit mixes), though a small dog sneaks in now and then (frenchies, Havanese, corgi, etc). I'm new to Rover but not to petsitting. I've cared for dogs from families who adopted my fosters for years, and I've been active on Wag! At my house, dogs get on the furniture, play hard, and get spoiled. Belly rubs, butt scratches, and ear massages come standard. My goal is to send your dog home happy, loved and tired. I'm self-employed and work from home when dogs stay with me. (My clients are used to dogs making an appearance during Zoom calls.) I'm a runner so long walks with dogs is just part of the fitness routine. I match my schedule to your dog's feeding and bathroom schedule. Every dog that comes here is treated with patience and care. Some arrive nervous, anxious, or unsure—maybe a potty accident in a new space, maybe hesitant to settle. My job is to help them feel safe, give them time to decompress, and meet them where they are. When they're ready, I'm here for play and snuggles. I have a fenced yard and my property backs up to a park. Dogs get regular walks, plus potty breaks. If a dog needs shorter, lower-key outings, we do on-leash trips to the park right behind the house. If your dog is reactive, we do backyard potty breaks and walk off-peak hours on a specific path to minimize potential sightings of other dogs.
About: A little bit about me is that i’ve been had many dogs , cats , fish , turtles and guinea pigs (yes my guinea pig, dog & cat all got along lol). i have a roommate who is also a veterinarian who specializes in all types of dogs , which is very helpful since he will be helping with any services i may need assistance on. i currently work in child care (5yrs now) and need something pretty simple over the summer to do while schools out. i live in a spacious loft downtown baltimore. im also a licensed cook as well, so typically feed my pets once a week a good meal. currently working full time until june 8,2026 due to me working in child care and schools almost out. after that ill be 100% free throughout the week and weekend. my building has an enclosed sitting / yard area inside the building. i can do walks too since i live downtown but most likely will be in the area of the enclosed yard my building provides due to that’s where all the other dog parents their babies.
“Shaline was great! She asked many questions during the meet-and-great, and clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. She took my dog Violet on a very long walk, and even worked on some training & leash skills with her during her day care stay. She sent plenty of updates, and Violet came home tired and happy. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Jasmine is great!! This is my first time using Rover, and I am glad I found her. She is super responsible - asking me about daily routine; taking my dog outside for walk etc. Easy to communicate as well! Highly recommend 🥰🥰”

“Kristine did an amazing job with my babies!! She was punctual. Communicated amazingly and was able to follow all my very detailed instructions making. I had a quite a few security measures and she followed vetting perfectly making me feel like my dogs and home were safe while I was way in Cancun for 5 days. The babies loved her. I even got a little jealous watching my Roxy cry on the camera after their time together. I will 1000% recommend Kristine and will be using her in the future for dog sitting/walking needs!”
About: I've had both dogs and cats my entire life, so being around animals is second nature to me. Over the years, I've also helped care for my neighbors' and family friends pets whenever they were out of town. This included; feeding, walking, playing, and just being there to keep them company. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer stay, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I am a student at the University of Michigan, studying sport management. I would love the opportunity to take care of other people's pets over my summer break. I will start my summer break by the end of June and would love to jump right in by helping those around me care for their pets in my free time. I am super flexible, so please feel free to message me! I focus on keeping things safe, comfortable, and stress-free. Every animal is different, so I take the time to understand what makes them feel relaxed and happy. I also keep owners updated with quick check-ins and photos, so they know their pet is doing well and being cared for like family.
“Jenna was great- she had availability at the last minute, was super quick to respond to messages, and the peace of mind that came from her text updates about picking up the pup and their hangout together was so worth it. I'd definitely use her services again!”
“Amazing job taking care of my little buddy! I am Definitely going to use his services again even the time to give my dog some extra water when his bowl was empty. I came home and my dog was happy..”
“Christine spent the extra time to meet and get to know my German Shepherd girl before walking her. My girl was very comfortable with her and the walk went very well for both of them.”
About: I grew up always having a dog in the house. When I moved out I really missed hanging out with my dogs so I started dog walking. I worked as a dog walker in DC for 4 years. I learned about body language, leash training, and how unique every dog truly is. I love to walk. I love dogs. I figured why not get back into it. I am a student at UBalt, working part time remotely. I work Thursday to Saturday from home. My schedule is very open at the moment. I have a toddler so I am very sweet and caring but I also love to play (carefully) so if your dog has a lot of energy I can handle that and still be careful and attentive
About: I’ve been around all animals since I was a young child. I will treat your babies like they are my own. I have alot of experience with puppies and senior dogs. Fur babies are always prioritized. I am available to take the dogs out 2-3 times a day as needed. Most of the time if I’m in the house the dogs with be relaxing and cuddling with me or playing with each other. If I leave or go to work the dogs are crated. I have several parks nearby so that your baby can get out, stretch, and get fresh air. I can crate your baby as well. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby.
About: I have always been an animal person, and have been a regular dogsitter and catsitter for friends and family for over 10 years. I love caring for all types of critters, from little balls of energy to to more mellow senior animals, and will try my best not to spoil yours too much (depending on how quickly they steal my heart.) I specialize in enrichment activities, such as walks and play sessions, but will also enjoy just hanging out with your little buddy in any capacity. I'm currently off of school for the summer, so I have lots of available time in the day to care for your animals! I am generally available any day of the week between 8 AM and 10 PM, except for Sunday, when I am not available until 11 AM. (6-8 AM is also a possibility if necessary.) I always make sure to respect my clients' homes and keep their belongings safe from rowdy playing. I will always be sure to read your instructions for entry carefully, and I am good at cleaning up a mess if there is one made.
About: I have been taking care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid and love dogs of all kinds. I can meet a dog at any energy level, and especially love going for walks/hikes in nature. I also volunteer for the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter's Dog Day Out program, taking shelter dogs for a day of fun and freedom outside the facility. I am currently a graduate student and have the summer off from my academic work, so my schedule is very flexible in terms of pet care. I am not able to host pets at my home since I live in an apartment, but am happy to take care of animals in any setting and abide respectfully by all requests about a home!

They do board multiple dogs at once but we appreciated that they took care to pair dogs together with similar temperaments. Our pup loves to play and run, which not all dogs love! But it sounds like they were able to pair him with a few playmates that were up to his energy level. We hope to use them again in the future!”
