I’ll most definitely be using her services again!”

Cat caregivers near you - Benson
About: Hi!! My name is Elisha. It is a pleasure to be a consideration to you. A little about me .. I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties for relatives, friends, you name it. Since I can remember. I treat them as I would real children and companions. If you are in need of an extra hand, to walk or to visit your pup/kitty, I am available. I know life can get busy with work, traveling, or even dates. That is why I am so compassionate towards fur babies and believe that for your comfort as an owner, Rover is a great investment. I try to keep costs low as I am new, so here is to new pup/kitty beginnings ! I work 3-5 hours in the Baltimore area, however I live up Harford county so I’m flexible with locations and times! I can do early mornings, late noons, whichever is preferred by you :) I have a friendly pittie who can keep your dog company on walks (if they fare well that way) I will give often updates, photos, any notes as needed. An additional service I like to do for clients is picking up waste in the back, as it tends to become tedious and maybe difficult for some people, I am all here for it ! Please request that when booking.
“Colin did a great job keeping my outside kittiy fed and happy. He kept me updated daily. It was such a relief to know someone was watching over him (and his kitty friends).”
“I can’t say enough good things about Mariah and my experience with her. She made me feel so at ease with her detailed updates and her funny comments in the updates. My cats might prefer her over me!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs (German Shepherd, Pug, rescues, Jack Russell’s), a cat, and horses. I currently have a 5 year old Lab and 14 year old horse. I’ve been house and farm sitting since my teens. Ranger enjoys hikes, swimming, lounging around, and visits to the barn. I have experience with the life span, from puppies to seniors, various sizes and breeds. I can take your pup out for a walk and/or enjoy time in my fenced in back yard. I’ll communicate (written and pictures) for check ins. I treat every pet like family. We look forward to meeting you! I work full time and, live close by. I’m able to go home to let pups out for a potty break at lunch and walks around the neighborhood after work, and/or play in the back yard. On weekends, I try to go out for a longer/walk hike. I have a fenced in yard and my 5 year old Lab to keep your pup(s) company. I am open to crate trained dogs, and have various size crates as needed. Two kids (11 and 13) are in my home.
“Dakota did a splendid job taking care of our Big Boy Bobby. We came back to a happy cat. Her communication was timely and crystal clear from the beginning. She is a reliable and kind hearted person, and we would trust her with the care of any of our critters in the future. Thanks, Dakota!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life! I got my first cat when I was 10, and had him for 19 years! Then when I moved out on my own I had two cats till they were about 16 years old. But I’ve also taken care of my sisters cats when she’s away or just can’t home in time to feed or play with them. I also will feed your cat, brush them, play with them and clean their litter box!
“Thank you Mariah. I’m glad Birdie greeted you and you captured a lot of great pictures. It really does the heart well to see your fur baby is ok while traveling. Until next time. 😻”
“Wendy did a great job taking care of Casio. She was very good at communicating with us and sending pictures. We definitely recommend her and will use her in the future”
“Peyton was incredible with my kitties! She shared the best pictures with me, twice a day, and both Laynie and Petey were clearly having a ton of fun with her while I was away. They are going to miss her! Will definitely book again.”
“Stephanie was very punctual, professional, and left detailed notes after every visit so I always had the peace of mind while out of town. She even let me know when the cats spilled some water from their bowl and tidied up the eating space! Thanks for going above and beyond - I certainly know who to trust with my cats in the future.”
“Lindsay has been watching our furry loved ones for years. We fully and absolutely trust her to take amazing care of our girls. So important not to worry about them and to feel confident that they are being well cared for. Thank you Lindsay for being so reliable. You will hear from us again.”
“Sam took great care of our two guinea pigs and one hamster while we were out of town. Good communication and responded promptly whenever I messaged her. Would definitely hire her again.”
“I have been using for a couple of times now. She is 💯 reliable and I can always count on her to giving loving far to my cat Rin. I wanted a sitter that can give lots of cuddles and love in addition to providing care ( cleaning litter, water etc). She is the person.”
About: I’ve had many cats through all phases of my life, and they’re my favorite animal! My kitties are all old so I administer medicine daily, and keep them active everyday to help their bones and joints. Also a huge fan of kittens!

About: Certified Dog Trainer & Professional Pet Spoiler I’ve been caring for animals professionally for over 10 years—basically, I’m the Mary Poppins of pets (minus the umbrella, plus a lot more treats). I work remotely, which means I have plenty of time to shower your furry, feathery, or finned friends with attention while you’re away. I share my life with my own dog, Roux, who would need to join me for overnight house sitting—she’s well-mannered, charming, and believes she’s the CEO of the operation. Specialties include: • Raising & training puppies (basic commands, potty, & crate training) • Senior pet care • Dogs with anxiety • Administering medications • Cat care (yes, even the sassy ones) • Rodent care (mice, guinea pigs, bunnies—you name it) • Basic fish tank maintenance (I’ve never lost a guppy on my watch) I work remotely which gives me some flexibility to care for your pup. I prefer overnight stays at the clients home with the ability to come home to work during the day but may be able to bring my work to you. I care for my clients pets exactly the same as their owner and better! I love them like my own. An in home pet sitter is a great way to keep your pets routine so they are less stressed while you are away.
“Cali was amazing with Walter! It was his (and our) first time having an in home daycare provider and Cali could not have been better! Between the pictures and her reassuring nature, we feel so lucky that Walter got to stay with her! Thank you!”
About: My husband and I love dogs! Our dog, Alfred, is like one of our children. We have two young girls who have grown up with Alfred. We live in a single family home with a fully fenced back yard on 3/4 of an acre. We love being outside and frequently play in the back yard and go for walks. I work from home, so I will be here all day with your pup except for when I drop off and pick up our girls from daycare. We took a little break from watching dogs through rover due to moving homes and having a new born but we are back and excited to watch your pup. Please let me know if you have any special requests!

About: Hello there! I am Sam! What makes me a good canadate to watch your furry family member? Well, in my family there has been an animal companion for as long as I can remember. We have had dogs, gerbils, and fish! I have even been described as having potential to become a crazy cat lady. I have had my fair share of exsperience with older dogs who need special care as my own dog was blind the last couple years of her life and I have the rudimentarys of training dogs as I trainded both my blind dog and my current dog sit, down, stay, come, paw, spin, leave-it, and the like. Above all I look forward to spending time with some new furry friends. Currently, I am working part time and I have my own dog, Stormy. So, I am used to the daily tasks of animal care and adding your pet into the mix would'nt change much! On days where I don't work I stay home or have the ablity to take my dog to the dog park or for a long walk. On days I do work I'm gone for no more than six hours. I live in an apartment but I have a big safe neighborhood to walk your dog in as well as a dog park very close by for even more play. I have my own dog, Stormy to keep your dog company on walks or at home. I also have the ability to crate my dog wether the two need some space or they don't mix well. A safe enviroment is my top priority.
About: I have always had dogs in my life, both big and small. Since high school, I have pet sat for friends, neighbors, and family. Last summer, I regularly cared for a French bulldog puppy, which gave me hands on experience with younger dogs. I would love and appreciate the opportunity to help care for your pets! I have recently graduated from Towson University with my bachelors in Environmental Science. I am also volunteering with Phoenix Wildlife center on Tuesdays while I search for a job! I have time during the week to fill and would love to drop in, walk, or board your pets! I live with my mom, sister, and stepdad but I am the primary care taker. We have a fully fenced in yard with plenty of love to give! I am also a reptile owner and keep a Plated lizard in a secure enclosure in my room, so I am comfortable with unique pets. When sitting in a client's home, I am highly respectful of your space, and my attention goes entirely to keeping your pet happy and safe. I would love and appreciate the opportunity to help care for your pets!
