Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bowens
“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“Our dog had a great time with Denise and her husband. She had a backyard to play in, a porch to sit on, and someone to play ball with her. She came back happy and tired. Denise sent plenty of pictures, and responded quickly when setting up the stay. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth was an amazing sitter for my Pyrenees/Golden mix! I could tell he genuinely appreciated her company and will remember her forever now! She was very patient with him, as he struggles with stairs. Her communication was also excellent throughout. I was 1000 miles away but receiving pictures and daily updates really help assure me that Joni was having a nice time. Thanks again!!”
“She loves dogs truly. She let our little dog to sleep on her bed first night to let him feel like home. She updated and sent photos twice a day. The little dog seems to make the furry friends and like his stay”

“My babies are repeat guests with Onayda. She is the sweetest caregiver. They enjoy themselves and are always clean when I pick them up. I am booking all of their stays through the summer when we go out of town just to make sure she won’t be booked up. Highly recommend!!”
“Kelly and Maurice were absolutely wonderful. They accepted my pup Khori on very short notice. Their home and neighborhood are beautiful and made for great walks and play time. Kelly made sure that I had more than enough pictures, and she is an excellent photographer! Truly thankful to have found them on Rover!”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Gio and Vanessa did an amazing job with our sweet puppy. They took extra special care of our girl when we needed a place for her to stay for one night. They treated her like their own. We are so thankful to have met them and will use them to watch our girl if we ever need help again! Highly recommend their family for your pets care. Thank you so much Gio and Vanessa!”

About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years…or really, my whole life! From dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even fish, I’ve shared my life with animals of all kinds. I currently live with four cats who have taught me even more about patience, play, and intuitive communication. I’ve also helped friends with pet care, walked dogs of all sizes, and provided loving attention to pets while their humans were away. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I feel deeply connected to them. I believe in meeting each animal where they are, tuning into their energy, and ensuring they feel safe, seen, and nurtured. Whether it’s a playful walk, cozy check-in visit, or overnight care, I’m committed to showing up with love, attentiveness, and a calm, grounded presence. Your pet will be treated like one of my own!
“Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat for a week. She took a lot of pictures and left detailed notes after each visit. She goes above and beyond the call of duty! We definitely plan on using her pet sitting services in the future.”
“Amanda was a wonderful kitty sitter. She was very attentive to all kitties, providing extra attention to a senior kitty. Followed feeding and cleaning instructions carefully. Very trustworthy and reliable.”
“There’s nothing like traveling and worrying the entire time! I was hesitant to use this app and I wasn’t having any luck finding a sitter…until I came across Emily! She kept me informed everyday! My fur babies were in such a better mood when I came home. They are usually boarded and that was not the best environment for them. It would take them days to resettle in at home. Thanks to Emily they were very well cared for! I will rebook for sure!!!!”
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life, I’ve had them for as long as I can remember and currently care for five of my own. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all types of feline personalities, from social and playful to shy, independent, or anxious. I understand that cats need a different kind of care than dogs. I pay close attention to their body language, respect their boundaries, and let them warm up at their own pace. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime/enrichment, and making sure their environment stays clean and low-stress. I’m also used to multi-cat households, so I understand dynamics like separate feeding, monitoring behavior changes, and making sure each cat feels safe and comfortable. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers space, I’ll meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel secure while you’re away.
About: I’ve lived in a multi-cat household for over 25 years and have cared for cats from a wide range of backgrounds, including shelter adoptions, strays, and cats who needed to be rehomed after losing their owners. I’m experienced with shy and senior cats, and I understand the patience and consistency they need to feel safe and comfortable. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and litter box habits—because small changes can matter with cats.
About: Hi, I’m Kim and I have had the joy of caring for a variety of furry friends as an experienced pet sitter. A lot of my work has been with rescued dogs and I understand the unique needs of pups that require a calm and reassuring atmosphere. I have a gentle approach and take the time to listen to the pet’s cues. Whether it is a gentle belly rub, a quiet walk, playtime, or caring for special needs; I will provide kindness and care for your beloved pet. First meet and greet with owners is free. My schedule can be flexible, and l am committed to providing reliable care. Let’s discuss your pet’s needs, and we’ll create a tailored plan together. Your pet’s safety and well being are my top priorities. I provide structured, attentive care with clear communication and consistent updates. I follow all instructions precisely - feeding, medications, training cues, and routines - so your pet stays comfortable and confident while you’re away. I always take a calm, patient approach. You can trust that your home and your pet will be treated with respect, responsibility, and genuine care.
About: I love all animals especially dogs. I think they are the most loyal and loving animals on this earth. I have over 19 year of caring for dogs of all sizes. I have trained all my dogs myself, and they are very well behaved. Dogs love me and they will be in good hands. I can crate your dog if you require and work on obedience training. I have over five acres that the dogs can run around and play, supervised of course. I have two dogs Latte and Brown and they provide great company to their visitors. I can provide pickup and drop off service. Cost is based on distance. Feel free to send me questions. Free meet and great upon request, and I can bring Latte and Brown for introductions.
About: I grew up with cats in the house and have always loved all sorts of animals! I have taken care of friends pets before while they were traveling, including feeding and playing with both cats and dogs, walking dogs and helping in the crate training process, and cleaning litter boxes. I am flexible with my time right now and looking to spend time outside during the day, or time inside with a cute kitty! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to hang with your pets! I am able to build my schedule week by week depending on my preferences, so if you have a request, send it my way and I’ll see if I can make it work. For visits, I feel it should be your rules in your home. On a baseline, I leave a place better than I found it, I will clean up after your pet and myself before I leave! I like to know where a pet likes to spend time and a general daily routine before a visit too (if mom or dad says dinner is at 5 I won’t be so easily fooled by a begging puppy). Overall, each pet and owner is unique so my biggest priority is communication!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bowens
About: I’m recently retired and home much of the time. I live in the Golden Beach community. I have three dogs of my own ranging an age from one to almost 17. I’ve cared for my family‘s pets and have completed a basic veterinary assistant class recently. I’m currently kicking off a consultant business that will be done mostly from home, making my own hours, leaving time to care for your pets and get me away from a desk. In addition to my pets, I am a grandmother of six and love, taking care of pets and babies. I am also trained in mental health first aid and in crisis peer support so I take safety very seriously.

About: Hi! I’m Haley, a stay at home mom and lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family not just animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time knowing they’re in caring hands. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family that rescued animals, and my mom has worked in the veterinary field her entire career. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom to my three little ones, I spent years working in animal hospitals, where I gained experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. That background taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when it comes to caring for animals. At home, we have three playful kittens and a friendly dog, so your pet will be staying with someone who truly understands their needs. We also have a large backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I know every pet is different, which is why I do my best to stick to their normal routine. Whether that means feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, cuddle time, or simply giving them space to relax! I’ll care for your pet the way you do at home. I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps reduce stress and makes them feel comfortable. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and updates while you’re away so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d be honored to care for your pet and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.

About: I love animals with all my heart. I’ve never met a pet who hasn’t loved me. I agree with the statement that animals are very energy in tune and I’d like to think so am I! I’ve done lots of dog sitting and cat sitting jobs for people close to me and they’re satisfied with how I did, so you 100% will be too. Your pet is in responsible, attentive hands. I have a free schedule and I’m in desperate need of a side hustle. I have too much free time and I think this would be the perfect thing to book my schedule with, especially because of how much I love being outside and animals. I’m very mindful of the safety even of my own animals so your pet is in the best of hands. Although my yard is not fenced, I take my dog out for walks leashed and for the few times she has escaped, I’m not near any major roads for there to be any accidents or for her to be in harm’s way. I am very vigilant and I would never put your animals or my own at risk because pets are apart of the family and I’d never let anything happen to a family member, even yours.

I currently volunteer as a dog walker at a local Southern Maryland rescue and also foster with them as well. Our family has cared for, trained and assisted with the adoption of many different breeds from small to large and all ages, puppies less than 12 weeks included. In addition we puppy raise and train service dogs for a non-profit organization based out of NY. Pets bring so much love and joy to our lives and deserve the best care when we are away. I can promise they will receive the same love and attention as if you were home yourself. Current pet is a 13 year old yellow lab and pointer mix that we've had since he was 12 weeks old. He loves long walks, swimming in any body of water and snuggling with his cat brother, Tucker. In addition we have a 2 year old beagle that nothing but fun. References are available upon request. I work remotely and am home during the day. This allows me flexibility to care my own fur-children and yours from either my home or yours. I have a large fenced yard, friendly pups, a dog room and plenty of crates. We often crate and rotate to make sure our pups get enough one on one and would do the same for yours.
About: I have had dogs in my household ever since I was a little girl. I have had a chocolate lab, boxer mix, basset hound, German shepard, pit bull, and now Mr. Oakley who is a lab/pit mix. I love to bond and care for fur babies and I enjoy playing and loving on them any chance I can get. Hi! I’m currently a full-time teacher in Anne Arundel County and an experienced caregiver who loves spending time with animals. My background in education has made me responsible, communicative, and dependable. Starting in June, I’ll have a much more flexible schedule as I transition from teaching, allowing me to offer more availability for walks and drop-ins. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I care for my pets in my home by making sure their food and water bowls are always full and fresh. I make sure that my dog gets some outdoor playtime each day to burn off his energy and to be able to stay healthy and to help us bond together. I love to spoil my dog with homemade popsicles, treats, and yogurt bars are his favorite! My dog loves to have all attention on him and he is a sucker for a belly rub followed by jumping in your bed to snuggle with you.
About: I have fostered cats, dogs, puppies and kittens for as long as I can remember! I have pets of my own and will always love taking care of them. I have a kitty of my own who is about to be 1! He deals with a lot of health issues and I take joy in keeping him healthy and safe every day. My cats comfort and happiness is always my first priority. I want to make sure he is comfortable and getting all the exercise, care, and attention he needs!

“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“Our dog had a great time with Denise and her husband. She had a backyard to play in, a porch to sit on, and someone to play ball with her. She came back happy and tired. Denise sent plenty of pictures, and responded quickly when setting up the stay. Highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth was an amazing sitter for my Pyrenees/Golden mix! I could tell he genuinely appreciated her company and will remember her forever now! She was very patient with him, as he struggles with stairs. Her communication was also excellent throughout. I was 1000 miles away but receiving pictures and daily updates really help assure me that Joni was having a nice time. Thanks again!!”
“Lindsay was great, as well as her family. She provided pictures and responded quickly with any questions. I would definitely recommend and use her in the future! You can leave your pet without worry!”
“My babies are repeat guests with Onayda. She is the sweetest caregiver. They enjoy themselves and are always clean when I pick them up. I am booking all of their stays through the summer when we go out of town just to make sure she won’t be booked up. Highly recommend!!”
“Major always has the best time. Knowing he is well taken care of makes my heart happy and puts my mind at ease. I could never put into words how thankful I am to have found Lilian!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Gio and Vanessa did an amazing job with our sweet puppy. They took extra special care of our girl when we needed a place for her to stay for one night. They treated her like their own. We are so thankful to have met them and will use them to watch our girl if we ever need help again! Highly recommend their family for your pets care. Thank you so much Gio and Vanessa!”
“Yiqiuxi and Nick were great with my two dogs. They always responded quickly which helped put me at ease that my babies were cared for, and sent great pictures. My frenchie can be a little hard headed but they cared for him well”

“We couldn’t be happier with Stephanie! She took amazing care of our dog, Oliver, while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in great hands. She sent regular updates, including adorable photos and videos, which made us feel connected even from miles away. Beyond providing excellent care, Stephanie truly bonded with Oliver and made sure he got plenty of playtime, snuggles, and attention. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again 😊”
“Leo had an amazing time with Melissa and her family. She had her dogs which kept him busy and happy as he loves to play with others and he got plenty of cuddles. We did a meet and greet with the pups a week before the boarding to ensure wveryone got along well and i could already tell leo was in great hands and Melissa even assured me there would always be someone there just in case. The pictures Melissa sent as we were gone made me happy to see that he was getting spoiled and was having great naps and playtime. She updated me daily and ensured Leo was fed exactly what was needed and we would definitely love to have Leo come "sleepover" again.”
“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
“Megan was great as always! We know that when we drop Charlie off, he’s not just staying with a sitter, he’s staying with a caring family. We always get updates when we are thinking of him and we know that he is safe and enjoying himself. Charlie loves it there and we think that sometimes he’d rather stay than come home!”
