“Rich is an amazing sitter! He was very nice and easy to talk to. He kept us updated and sent pictures of how our pup was doing. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Luna was being taken care of. I would definitely recommend using Rich as a sitter!”
“Veronica is simply the best. We’ve been bringing our dog Arlo to her for over a year now and she has always made sure Arlo is safe and cared for and loved. Arlo is obsessed with her and LOVES going. She comes back tired and happy every time. As dog owners, it is the best feeling in the world when you miss your dog while you’re away but aren’t worried about them in the slightest. We cannot recommend Veronica enough!”

“Karla was AMAZING with our pup, Clea! She sent daily photos and updates, and kept her entertained and happy. Clea looked like she was having a blast! We came home to a happy, rested pup. Karla was very flexible, and she was able to deal with not-so-pleasant weather while watching Clea. We would definitely use her services in the future!”
“My Teddy Graham had such a great time at Donnell’s! He came home happy, well fed, and well rested. Donnell kept me updated with great photos and details about my dog’s stay the entire time.

“Veronica is amazing ! Great communication, flexible schedule! Veronica’s and her husband love dogs! Boomer is always so excited to go there! Highly recommend! Your furry babies will be in great hands!”
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.
“It was so wonderful to know Mateo was in great hands! We will definitely be keeping April in mind in the future. He came home happy and tired every day that he spent with her and her pup!”
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.
“We were in town for the day and were so lucky to find Meredith and Kevin for doggy daycare. Our dogs had a great time and came back happpy and tired with zero stress. Thank you”
“Esterline was the perfect sitter. Shilo was well cared for. Sent regular reports and pictures. Definitely will use Esterline again along as she doesn't leave Rover.”
“Karla was absolutely amazing with Sausage. Sausage is a very elderly dog with mobility and anxiety issues and Karla was able to care for and watch over him with patience and persistence, trying multiple ways to calm and soothe him until he was eventually able to settle down. I don’t trust my little pup with just anyone, and Karla never once gave me reason to worry. Clear communication from the get-go with multiple updates throughout the stay. I can’t say enough good things about Karla. We will definitely be asking her to watch Sausage again in the future!”
“I mean, I’m not sure if it gets more 5⭐️ than this! My pup was so happy and exercised! This business here is experienced and trained. Kudos! And most importantly, Thank you! ?????? Aisha”
“I couldn’t be happier with our dog sitter! He’s incredibly prompt and always available—even on short notice, which has been a lifesaver more than once. It’s clear he genuinely loves my dog, and that kind of care and attention means a lot to me. He also has his own dog, so mine gets a built-in playmate and comes home happy and well-exercised every time. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is not just being watched, but truly cared for and enjoying the experience. Highly recommend!”
“Liz was so kind and amazing with Maverick. Sent me pics and updates throughout the day and even helped teach Mav some new skills. I felt super comfortable trusting her and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Shanikki was very flexible with my last minute booking and my dog enjoyed her time! She was very responsive and sent pictures and was great with my nervous dog.”
About: My family adopted a Chow Chow just before I was born; dogs have been family ever since! I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of dogs for family, friends, coworkers, roommates, and neighbors for over a decade I have a flexible schedule working from home. I already take long scenic walks everyday, and it would be awesome to have an adorable pooch as company! Your dog will have a whole room for themselves when they want to stay inside! I have a big fenced-in yard when they want some fresh air, and a bigger dog park nearby for the athletes!
“Anna & Christina were wonderful taking care of Sugi while I was in town for work in Cleveland. They were very communicative, punctual, sending updates + pictures. Would definitely be bringing Sugi back!”
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.
“Alicia was an amazing doggy daycare sitter for my puppy, Oliver! She met up with me beforehand, was able to add a last minute day when my other sitter cancelled, and accommodated pick-up and drop-off locations to what was convenient for me. On top of that, Oliver came home tired and happy every day, making my life as a puppy mom MUCH easier! I will definitely be looking to use her as a sitter again!”
“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 🥰🥰”
About: I’ve always been a lover of animals of any kind. I’ve been the family pet sitter for years and Never was paid for it because I just was doing it for fun. Pet care seamlessly fits into my weekly routine, as I'm able to dedicate flexible hours to ensure your pet's needs are met. I can provide regular walks, playtime, and cuddles, while also accommodating medication schedules and special dietary needs. My schedule allows for regular check-ins and updates, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I provide personalized care for pets in both my home and clients' homes, tailoring my services to meet each pet's unique needs. In my home, pets enjoy the space and environment with comfortable spaces for rest and play. In clients' homes, I respect their space and routines, administering medication, feeding, and providing exercise and playtime as needed. I also keep owners informed with regular updates and photos, ensuring their pet's comfort and happiness.

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.
“Taylor is amazing! She is super patient with my pups and goes above and beyond her job. She definitely is experienced in handling timid dogs and high energy dogs and knows how to read them room with each pup. She has great communication is very prompt for every walk. I really recommend her!”
About: Growing up with 2 Huskies, 1 Samoyed, 9 bunnies, and even a chinchilla, I have had my fair share of experience with animals over the years. I have taken care of the pets, plants, and houses of family and friends, now wishing to expand that interest to my community. I am additionally very active and a runner, therefore happy to walk (and run) with energetic pets. As a part-time nurse, I work 2-3 shifts a week. While my schedule is different week by week, I am available on my days off. I treat other homes with the same cleanliness and respect as my own. My home is a 3 story Baltimore rowhouse with a small fenced-in backyard and many walkable parks in the vicinity. I have 1 very shy female cat, who usually keeps to herself when other animals are around.
About: Experienced pet sitter caring for dogs and cats, including my grand kitties at home, providing feeding, playtime, litter care, and a calm, loving, consistent environment daily Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, with scheduled walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring pets receive consistent care, attention, and comfort every day I create a safe, calm space by following routines, monitoring behavior, securing surroundings, using gentle handling, and building trust through patience, consistency, and positive interactions daily
“Naya did a great job taking care of my dog Levi. I was so grateful to her for flexibility with the schedule during the holidays. She was easy to work with and super patient with my dog. I'll definitely be requesting her again as a sitter.”
“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!”
“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.

“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..”
“We needed a dog walker for the weekend and it was fairly last minute. We contacted Christine and she made the time to come over that day to meet Bandit and review what we needed. Over the weekend she was supposed to come for 30 minutes but walked and played with the dog for about 45 which was definitely appreciated. She kept in contact with us and was very friendly. We will definitely be using Christine again in the future!”
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.
“Dylan has been so great with my dog. She treats him just as I would. Dylan is not just reliable; she's become an integral part of my dog's daily routine and I never worry when Dylan is taking care of him. Dylan's communication is top-notch too. She sends me updates and photos, giving me peace of mind during the workday. She goes the extra mile, quite literally, by varying their routes, so my dog stays engaged and stimulated. I couldn't recommend Dylan more highly. She's not just a dog walker; she's a trusted companion to my beloved pet. If you're looking for a dog walker who genuinely cares, look no further. Dylan is simply the best!”
