“Nicole was very kind and attentive to Shirley. Shirley requires a lot of human company, and Nicole and her family provided that in spades! I received regular updates regarding Shirley’s activities, as well as photos. Book Nicole and your furry friend will be in good hands.”
“Alexis was phenomenal. My dog has a great time, I got adorable updates and wheni was unexpectedly delayed, Alexis adapted and made a stressful situation just a good amount easier”
“Aida sent pictures daily and made sweet observations about our pup, letting me know she sees him for who he is! She showed enormous patience and understanding. Will definitely rebook!”
“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.”
“Reynaldo seem to love his doggies. It was my first experience on Rover and I was skeptical, and a bit scared to be honest, at first to leave my dog. Reynaldo sent pictures and updated frequently. Overall, Luca had a safe and pleasant stay (he even threw a party for one of the other doggies’ birthday) !”
“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!”
“Marissa is extremely caring and flexible and treats the dogs she watches like family! I consider her house to be a second home for my dog. Unlike a kennel I always know Marissa will be there to snuggle and play with the dogs and the dogs will get tons of time to play together.”
“Sarah was great. My dog looked right at home & had lots of fun & snuggles. Sent great pics/updates. & was able to accommodate a last minute extra night due to flight delay. Def recommend!”
“Veronica was fantastic with Oreo. He stayed at her house for two days while I attended a job meeting. She took excellent care of him, ensuring he was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. She kept me updated with photos and messages. I felt reassured knowing Oreo was in such good and caring hands.”
“Chrissy was awesome. This was my first experience using Rover in Baltimore and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Communicated often, sent pictures, periodic updates and can tell Bear loved hanging with Dublin. Thank you so much again for everything and will definitely be my #1 go to ?”
“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.”
“Im always nervous to drop off Adonis with anyone because he is very unpredictable meaning nervous. But Lia was great to him. Leaving for my daughter nationals so many miles away and she was great! Definitely will book again.”
“Shannon is great. She sent me pictures of Flopi twice a day. She also let me know if he was eating and if he was playful or shy with the other dogs.”
“Steph is absolutely AMAZING! First off it was short notice maybe 4 hours before I had to leave and everyone kept turning me down until this wonderful woman was kind enough to take her in . My baby had a blast with her and Jax. She sent me pictures and you could see the happiness in my baby’s eyes . Anytime I go out of town Valkyrie will be hanging out with her new bestfriend Jax . Definitely 10 out 10”
“My dog Luna seemed to have enjoyed her time at Linda’s home and playing with the other dogs. Linda was communicative and flexible.i appreciated the daily photos and sometimes even videos. I will be booking with her again.”
“Rich was great! He kept me updated with Kash and had excellent communication throughout. I was so nervous at first, but everything worked out perfectly. Thanks again!”

It’s been great. We definitely use her again just for dog play dates. Also she’s amazing. Don’t hesitate.”
“Fatty had the absolute best time staying with her family. He was showered with affection, got tons of cuddles, and even got treated to pup cups. He loved them so much and we are so happy he has an open invitation to return anytime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like family!”

“Ivan was great! I was a little nervous because my cat can be really skittish and stressed around strangers (and for a few days after), but she was perfectly chill.”
“Annie was great with our girls. She provided prompt updates and cute pictures. We came home to our house just how we left it. We would highly recommend her!”
“Can't speak highly enough about Lisa. She was such a good caretaker to our kitty, so reliable, and we loved getting the pictures and videos. She was super thorough on the meet and greet, and it's clear she knows a lot about our feline friends! She will definitely be our go-to for our next trip away!”
“Jayna has been wonderful with my cats. She's coaxed 2 extremely shy older kitties into coming out to say hello and has done an incredible job working out the energy of our youngest, most rambunctious cat. Sid has more mischief in him than we know what to do with, but his behavior is definitely improved after she visits and puts him through his paces. She has a very gentle and engaging energy with animals. Meanwhile, she is extremely consistent, prompt, professional, and courteous. Would 100% recommend.”
“Juliet was amazing! She accommodated my last minute booking and took great care of Bao while I was away. She’s very responsive, and very easy to communicate with. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Maria is was wonderful with our cats, and went above and beyond dealing with a poopy situation. We arrived home to happy kitties and a tidy house. Will absolutely rebook again.”
“Nathalie was a great sitter for my 3 cats! She was reliable, did exactly as asked, and had great communication. I will likely book her again in the future!”
“Sun was so attentive and caring to my baby girl and was able to administer her medications easier than I usually do 😂 they also provided super detailed cards and took lots of pics 📸 overall. Had a wonderful experience and was able to vacation in peace ♥️”
About: I’ve always had a natural love for cats and enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent. I go beyond simply feeding and checking in,I make sure your cat feels comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away, while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind.
About: Hi! I am focusing on cats and kittens as a specialty. I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who understands how important it is to feel confident when your furry family members are in someone else’s care. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication reminders, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I believe pets deserve patience, attention, and lots of love—and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also happy to send regular photo and update messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make pet care easy for you and a positive experience for your pet. I also can clean up after your pets, pick up mail or packages, or water your plants during my visit. My care is not just for your pet but for the health of your home too.
About: I grew up always having at least one dog in the house. I have previously worked for a dog rescue, both as a volunteer dog walker and an employee (marketing, but we always had dogs around and I learned so much about their care!). I personally have had an amazing pit bull named Luna for 9 years - she is leash reactive so I also have experience dealing with hard-to-walk pups! I am a freelancer who works remotely and sets my own hours. I can work around your schedule and your pet’s needs to provide them care. I know that every dog is different and some need more specific care. I am here to follow your instructions and provide your pet care as if they were my own!
“Madeline is an amazing communicator, clearly cares about our pets and followed instructions. We couldn’t be happier with the care our cats received”
“Ana was great! She was very responsive and provided great updates and pictures. She made sure Luna was well taken care of and happy. I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was and would book with Ana again.”
“We needed a sitter at the last minute before a holiday, and SJ responded *so* quickly to our request! SJ was incredibly proactive with communication and setting up a meeting time. Not only did SJ provide adorable pictures of our sweet guy, but he also addressed our specific requests in the Rover card following the drop-in. It was a hot weekend and there were lots of power outages, so we were able to enjoy our time away a lot more knowing that our cat was in great hands. If you need a sitter, I highly recommend reaching out to SJ!”
“Marissa was a fabulous sitter! She took care of our three kitties with care. Two of our cats have medical needs, and she took excellent care of them. I definitely recommend her! :)”
“Bito did a fantastic job watching my two cats, showing incredible patience with both the shy one and the feisty one. Bito was highly reliable, kept the cats' area clean, and maintained excellent communication the entire time. Bito is a top-tier sitter, and I would absolutely book their services again.”
“Asia took care of my cat Amora for a few days. I booked a little last minute, but communication was smooth the whole time. She sent me regular updates and was super understanding when I ran a bit late. My cat was in good hands, she’s a great sitter!”
“Alexis was tremendous. He left thorough review cards, lots of pictures, and was very communicative throughout his drop-ins. He was very flexible through a home-alarm difficulty, was very sweet to our cats, and we cannot recommend him enough. Please consider utilizing Alexis for your home visits!”
“As usual Courtney made our trip much less stressful. Thanks for taking such good care of our little men. They are both divas but Courtney managed their moods and this slighting anxious pet mama perfectly.”

About: Owner of one sweet large dog and two cats. More than 10 years of experience taking care of animals. Graduate student with flexible schedules and lots of love for many fur babies. My parents are with me right now so extra hands on deck and almost companion all day for your pets. I’m a graduate student with flexible schedules. I enjoy playing and walking with animals for relaxation. I live in a neighborhood that’s very great for dog walking. I have a fenced yard, very friendly dog and cats. Enough space indoors for playing too. I have a car hammock for dog to sit comfortably in the back seat and seatbelt for them, if we need to go take a ride.
“Emily was amazing! We did a meet and greet a few days before hand and then on the actual day, my dog remembered her and was so excited to be back. I was worried because he’s a bit of a Velcro dog but Emily said he slept behind her while she worked and spent some time outside with her dog as well playing. 10/10, I will book Emily and Patrick next time I need a sitter.”
“Poppy gets excited to get to Crissy's house and enjoys her time with Dublin. Crissy is flexible on timing when I've bumped into conflicts, and adjusting recurring days.”
“Shannon was fantastic and Besa had a blast playing with the other dogs she cares for in her home. She’s a great communicator, welcoming, and flexible. Will definitely send Besa to hang with her and her pups again soon.”
“We are out of state and needed someone last minute to watch our dog so we can freely explore DC, Veronica was super accommodating, understanding and incredibly patient with my antics. Nothing but the best for our baby boy and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in good hands.”

I am now an Advocate for unwanted and stray animals. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule that can accommodate Regular Business Hours or Untraditional Hours per the needs of Your Fur Baby. I have a 25+ Years of Experience in Emergency Medicine working both in the Hospital as well as Patients Homes. Your Fur Baby will be treated with Dignity, Respect as well as Your Home and have an awesome interactive experience with Me. I do not Drink or Smoke and will always go the extra mile to Honor Your Home.
“Lexi-Saige took to Jessica immediately. She slept with her and hung-out by her side all day. I'm glad my precious girl felt comfortable and enjoyed her day while I was out of town. Thanks Jessica!”
“This was my first time sending my baby off. He was a Covid baby so he didn't really get a chance to get out. Kobe took to Reynaldo right away. I got pictures and updates. Looking forward to other adventures.”
“Kristen was super friendly, responsive and flexible, asked lots of questions about Finn, and clearly loves animals! Finn can be a bit anxious when with a new sitter, and he didn’t hesitate to run right up to her and make himself at home. She sent pictures throughout the day and kept me updated. I felt incredibly comfortable leaving Finn with Kristen and was confident through his stay that he was being not just well taken care of but also getting lots of love and attention. I’d highly recommend Kristen!”
“Keith did great taking care of my needy rescue dog. I could tell right away he would make sure she was comfortable and happy. He was super flexible with the hours which was awesome!”
“I love Tiara! She was amazing with Queso. She was flexible with my times and very communicative and gave updates throughout the day with Queso. I would definitely use her help again and suggest Tiara for services to others. Thank you so much!”
“Alicia was great. Would definitely trust our pup with her again. She allowed us to drop our dog off with short notice for the evening. So thankful.”
About: Not only do I love animals but I do provide feeding, ensuring a safe environment, lots of cuddles and playtime :). I have about 2-3 years worth of pet experience from dog walking, dog/cat sitting at clients home and boarding inside my home. I currently work full time during the day but I still make time to tend to my furry friends. During the week I am available for any service like dog walking, drop ins ( for potty breaks, to be fed, go on walks etc ) On the weekends I’m available for any service including overnight. If overnight is needed during the week please communicate that with me so I can try to accommodate as much as possible. I care for each pet by understanding their schedule. Understanding their routine in terms to feeding, exercise, potty walks etc is very important. One thing I like to do is observe and learn the pet. Once you take the time to learn you’re able to learn preferred activities/items and their routine.
“Elizabeth and her pup have been amazing with Oliver! He clearly loves getting to have playtime during daycare with her, it’s exactly the socialization and fun that we want for him!”
About: I truly believe pets are part of the family—and when they’re in my care, that’s exactly how I treat them. ❤️ I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including walking, drop-in visits, and caring for them in both my home and their own homes. I love getting to know each dog and figuring out what makes them happy. Whether they want to play, go for a good walk, get lots of attention, or simply curl up beside me, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m an active, engaged pet sitter and love playing, talking to, and spending time with my furry friends. Once they’re in my care, they become part of my family. I enjoy playing with cats too, and giving them attention, but I also understand that many cats are happiest doing their own thing. I’m perfectly comfortable letting a cat have their space while keeping a watchful eye and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, fed, and cared for. My home is smoke-free, clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I keep food safely stored in cupboards and maintain a clean and sanitized environment. I’m mindful about keeping floors and common areas clean and making sure pets have a safe, comfortable place to relax. I have lengthy experience with large aquarium set ups with fish, turtles, geckos and lizards. Most importantly, I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s individual routine and personality. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated while you’re away, and treat your home and belongings with the same care I would want someone to give mine. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a playmate, a quiet companion, medication reminders, a cozy place to stay, or simply someone to keep them company—I’m happy to help. Your pets aren’t just pets to me. They’re little members of the family, and they deserve to be treated that way. 🐾 P.S. Rover is my first experience charging for pet care and that’s why I don’t have many jobs posted or reviews. Previously I traded services or offered free. I have been a Trusted Housesitters member for over 6 years. Meet n Greets are required for first time services. Please allow the necessary time frames. My current availability is as such: Flexibility during the day/evening for regular and drop in-walks, drop-in visits, pet care, 7 days a week. Holidays: Same availability and services at a modified fee. I’m also happy to care for pets in my home for doggy daycare care or boarding when the timing is a good fit. I know pets do best with consistency, so I’ll work with you to understand their normal routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. As my schedule changes, I will update my availability as quickly as I can. When you leave your pet in someone else’s care, trust matters. I take that responsibility seriously. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, stick to their normal routines as much as possible, and pay attention to the little things that help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I’ll keep things clean and secure, make sure doors and gates are properly closed, and never take shortcuts when it comes to your pet’s safety. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to doing what I say I’ll do. If something unexpected comes up, I’ll communicate with you rather than making assumptions. Most importantly, I understand that your pet isn’t “just a pet.” They’re family. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet—and to feel confident that they were cared for with kindness, patience, and genuine attention while you were gone. Meet n Greets are required for first time services. Please allow the necessary time frames. 🐾

About: My name is Sophia and I am a lover of all animals and a full time exclusive pet caregiver for over 10 years in the Baltimore region. It is truly my passion to provide exceptional and personalized one-on-one pet care for families in an era where kennels, boarding facilities, and multi-client sitters have left many owners traumatized and feeling hopeless in their options. I understand that leaving a piece of family behind whether it be for vacation or work is always difficult, my goal is to be a safe haven of comfort for families- providing the peace and ease of always knowing your pet is safe and will be cared for as if they were my own whilst in my home. Through a safe and comforting environment where they do not share space with other animals, dedicated & loving hands on care, detailed in-depth updates and plenty of cute photos of their day to day, I am here to be your pets favorite secondary home when they can’t accompany your travels😊 I am currently studying to obtain certificates in IV Companion Animal Services as well as Dog Training, I also volunteer regularly at my local SPCA & take in rescues on fostering basis which has provided me in-depth knowledge of animal behaviors and their needs for all breeds and ages. With how long I’ve been a pet caregiver I’ve really experienced it all at this point in terms of temperaments, behaviors, breeds, and quirks, which means I am equip to handle it all! I have extensive experience with different medical conditions so I am fully trained to facilitate and fulfill specific medical regimes including administering shots, giving oral pills, or applying ointments/eyedrops as needed. I am also certified through American Red Cross Dog and Cat First Aid Training to provide CPR and first aid in emergency critical situations with a full service Pet First Aid Kit in home. I specialize in reactive/anxious dogs and am recognized for having immense success in mitigating behavioral concerns whilst in my care. Covid pups who are still finding their way, rescues who have histories of abuse, the quirky ones who have a disdain of other humans/dogs/kids, and our separation anxiety worrywarts- I am trained and experienced with all of these behaviors and am able to understand their needs and provide calm and peace with ease. I have years of experience and extensive knowledge of dogs who have specific hygiene needs because of breeding impairment (flat faced/short nosed breeds) and have the experience to maintain strict hygiene needs such as wiping of paw pads, tear ducts, and facial folds and trained in their possible health complications/signs of risk. I am also specialized in providing senior and end of life care for the golden years providing a peaceful secondary home in times of need. Many of these precious pups are in need of strict medical regimes, potty incontinence outings or diaper changing, movement limitations, and feeding assistance- all of which I am fully trained for and able to provide in any frequency or diligence needed or requested. I also have lots of experience with puppies and high energy dogs providing essential mental and physical enrichment through regular structured routines and movement, sensory exploration, and foraging games and stimulation as allowed by owner. My lifestyle and petsitting full time really allows me to be flexible to any regime or care routine needed for each individual pet as well as if you have any specific questions or accommodations needed for care please don’t hesitate to reach out to further discuss! I’ve been a sitter for years and one thing I’ve gotten really good at is balancing my own personal schedule with providing the best care possible. Currently pet sitting is my full time job so I am home almost 24/7 happy to provide all the care and attention your furry friend needs! In my home your pets comfort is my top priority. I live in a beautiful 3 bedroom apartment in Pen Lucy in a very lush and family oriented/dog neighborhood so there’s lots of grass all around and I have all the space inside to accommodate! With this to note though I do live on the second floor and there’s two flights of steps your dog would have to be able to go up/down on so wanted to note this for my seniors or pups with bad hips or knees. I allow them on all of my furniture, the only limit to this is my bedroom at night as my cats are territorial to this and like to sleep in bed with me. I have an array of toys all around the house they are welcome to as well as have bowls and bags and such but always appreciate when those items are provided and they are welcomed as they remind them of home and is great way to get them cozy in a new space. I also have lots of beds, blankets, and cozy spots for them to snuggle up in as no furniture is off limits! I am great with independent animals that just want to keep to themselves as well as our separation anxiety babies who need that extra boost of loving and stick to your side like glue and do my best to cater to what your animal needs at any given moment. I send lots of detailed updates and photos and videos as well with my goal being to provide the most peace of mind as if you never left them at all. Inside client's home for house sitting I will adhere to all rules laid out by the owner whilst respecting the home and maintaining the same level of care. Although I will note I do not accept any house sitting requests where I am not allowed to leave the property as I have my own animals at home and would have to leave occasionally to take care of them from time to time.
“Ivan came over for a meet and greet with my dog, who liked him immediately. He picked up the dog at the scheduled time and took him on an hour walk. When I got home the dog was back in his crate and very content. Thank you Ivan!”
“Sun has been great to work with, and I hope to continue to work with them this year. Fitz responds really well to them, and I can tell they care about taking care of my dog. Thank you so much for all that you do!”
“Bob and his son Bobby were the best! Completely reliable and capable. My dog, that I have trouble managing, was easily handled them. I am very impressed with the quality of this service and they are first on my list for the next time.”
“SJ is wonderful to work with. The notes they provided after the daily walks meant so much to me while I was away from my fur-baby. Highly, highly recommend.”
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. I grew up with a large dog who was deeply loved and considered part of the family. Caring for him taught me how to recognize an animal’s needs, understand body language, and approach pets with patience, respect, and compassion through all stages of their lives. Since then, I have cared for dogs and cats belonging to friends and family through regular check-ins, weekend visits, week-long house-sitting stays, and week-long dog-sitting stays in my own home. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and may need time to feel comfortable with someone new or in a new environment. I am patient during that adjustment period and always do my best to maintain their normal routine and help them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I hold a bachelor’s degree in biology with a focus in ecology and marine biology. I also recently completed an internship with Zoo Miami in animal care, training, and husbandry. This experience strengthened my ability to observe animal behavior, respond appropriately to their needs, and communicate with animals using clear, consistent, and positive methods. I am new to the city and currently have full availability including last minute scheduling, and I am excited to build trusted relationships with local pet owners and their animals. Animal welfare is extremely important to me, and I would treat your pets with the same care, attention, and respect I would want for my own. I recently moved to the city and currently have a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day, seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. This flexibility allows me to accommodate check-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute requests whenever possible. I care for every pet according to their usual routine, personality, and individual needs. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner, and I take time to help each pet feel safe and comfortable with me. In a client’s home, I am respectful of both the pet’s space and the home itself. I make sure doors, windows, gates, leashes, and carriers are secure, keep food and potentially harmful items out of reach, and leave the home clean and orderly. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment. I supervise pets closely, give them plenty of attention, and help them adjust patiently to the new surroundings. I understand that some animals need more time and space than others, so I always pay attention to their body language and comfort level.
“IImani is so thoughtful and when she’s with Bella, I feel completely safe. Today is a fairly hot day and she remembered that Bella has a cooling Best and put that on her. I really appreciate her extra efforts.”
“Chelsea was fantastic!!! One of my dogs wont go near any new people and, yet, she ran right up to her!! She sent photos at each walk and was always responsive, immediately. I will most definitely utilize her services again. Wonderful human being!”
“Shynia and Bella bonded instantly. Shynia's soft spoken voice, reliability, mannerisms, consistency, and attention to details throughout the entire dogwalk schedule was a blessing. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Shynia for dog walks or any of you pet needs. I have been consistently impressed by Shynia's positive attitude, feedbacks (Rover card updates and verbal updates), and most of all Bella's happiness and comfort when she is with Shynia.”
“I AM SO HAPPY WITH CHANNINGS SERVICE. My very stubborn husky finally will leave the house! I’m so appreciative that she gets a full mile in with him. I couldn’t ask for more”
About: I grew up on a dairy farm but have switched to caring for our smaller four legged friends in my adult life. As a vet assistant I’ve handled various medical needs for furry friends, and have a disabled boy of my own. 🐈 I have experience caring for babies and seniors alike, with medication administration included. My experience in the medical field the past 10 years adds additional value in case of event. My wife and I along with Moose and Marcie recently moved to the area and I have an open schedule to visit your babies! While I do have some obligations, I will work to ensure nothing intervenes with your pets care. While I am unable to bring other pets in my home, I will cater care to the pet owners preference. Each pet is different and I understand the quirks some folks may want to address. I’m here for you and your pets.
About: I have always had a strong passion for animals since I was young. Being an animal lover is a part of my personality that I admire the most. At 13 years old I created my own dog-walking business and facilitated different resources. I found that animals sympathize with me a lot. Especially animals that need that extra support and care. You can trust me to cater towards your pet and create a safe environment for them. I have a lot of experience working with animals. I have a pet dog at home which I take care of frequently. I'm good with making schedules and being flexible! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, blending seamlessly with my active lifestyle. I make time for studying to stay educated and continuously improve my knowledge on pet care and training techniques. My passion for staying active means your pets enjoy engaging walks and exercise, whether it’s during my gym warm-ups or dedicated playtime at the park. I’m meticulous about creating a structured day where pets are prioritized, ensuring they’re well-cared for, mentally stimulated, and happy. Balancing my love for fitness, learning, and animals makes me a dedicated, well-rounded pet sitter who can provide top-notch care. I know how important it is for our pets to be in a safe and caring environment, with me, your fur-baby will be treated like my own. I can provide play time and various walks a day depending on your pet’s needs. I love giving them treats and lots of love. Daily water changes. I love being able to adjust to your pets specific needs!!
About: I grew up in a home where we always had at least one dog, and I've been caring for dogs my entire life. As an adult, I cared for an elderly dog through his senior years, including managing his medical needs and ensuring his comfort during his final chapter. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to recognize subtle signs that a dog needs extra care or gentler handling. I've also regularly cared for friends' and neighbors' dogs over the years. I understand that every dog has their own personality—some are energetic and playful, others prefer calm, steady walks. I take time to learn what makes each dog comfortable and happy. For me, spending time with dogs isn't just a job—it's something I genuinely miss and enjoy. I'm reliable, observant, and will treat your dog with the same care and respect I gave my own. I work from home full-time during weekdays but have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on dog walking during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm looking for regular clients who need consistent care, whether that's daily walks, weekend visits, or occasional drop-ins. I live in the Hampden neighborhood in Baltimore and am happy to work with clients in my neighborhood. Walking is something I already enjoy and build into my day, so adding dog walks feels natural rather than squeezed in. I'm reliable about communication and will always let you know if my availability changes. For dog walking, I always ensure dogs are securely leashed before leaving the home and stay alert to their body language and the environment around us. I'm comfortable navigating busy sidewalks, parks, and quieter residential areas depending on what the dog prefers. I follow any specific instructions owners provide about routes, other dogs, or behavioral needs. If watching pets in their home, I'm respectful of the space, follow feeding and medication schedules carefully, and keep owners updated. I understand the responsibility of having someone's keys and entering their home, and I take that trust seriously.
About: I've been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. I've had my own dog since I was six years old, and over the years I've cared for more than five dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. From walks and playtime to feeding, bathing, and plenty of cuddles, I genuinely love every part of caring for them. I treat every dog like they're my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while they're with me. I absolutely adore dogs, and I can't wait to meet your babt! I'm currently a full-time college student, so my schedule is designed to fit around classes. I'm available on weekdays after 3:00 PM and have open availability on weekends. I'll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve! I've cared for my own dog since I was six years old, so looking after dogs has always been part of my daily life. I know how important it is to keep them on a consistent routine, so I make sure they're fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and, of course, lots of love and attention. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. When I'm caring for a dog in a client's home, I treat them just like I treat my own dog by following their routine closely, keeping them happy and comfortable, and making sure they get the care they deserve while you're away.
About: I have taken care of cats since I was 7. I also had my first dog at the age of 9. I’ve spent my whole life taking care of animals as if they’re my siblings. As of right now, I am a taking a gap year from full-time university, so my schedule is flexible. I play water games with the dogs and keep them company during their stay. I love to spend time with animals like best friends would. I enjoy cleaning food dishes and feeding the pets. I’m currently a university student studying for a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and planning. I also work part time in the summer, but I can always work around my schedule to accommodate your pets :) I have a fenced backyard as well as cameras that overlook the front, back, and garage. I ensure safety by locking doors and keeping a constant eye on them. I also like to be in the room with the pet my entire visit.
