Lora was incredibly responsive to all our texts, providing us with regular updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Lora was also very accommodating when we had to make last-minute changes to the drop-off date and pick-up time, showing just how flexible and understanding she is. Frankie seemed so content and happy when we picked her up, and it was clear she had been well taken care of. We highly recommend Lora to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog boarder.

Highly recomend!”
About: Hello! I am a veterinary technician of 8 years and pet owner of 20+ years who is highly experienced in animal care and petsitting. As a cat, horse, and previous dog owner myself I understand that our pets are our family! I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I work part time hours and am off weekends and holidays. I’m happy to spend my free time playing, walking, and spending time with your pet! While at work crates, gates, or free roam can be used depending on your pets needs and comfort. Pets will be monitored through pet cams during working hours. While in my home pets can have free roam or access to a crate depending on their needs and comfort.

Pets will always have access to fresh water and toys and will be well loved while in my care!

We received daily updates with videos and pictures, which were such a comforting touch and really showed how much fun he was having. It was clear he was being treated like one of the family. When he came home, he was happy, healthy—and completely exhausted from all the playtime and attention! We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was 6, and I can’t imagine life without them! I grew up with small dogs and now share my home with three wonderful cats, including a sweet senior. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for not just cats and dogs, but also mice, rabbits, snakes, and even a duck with no legs named Peggy. I also have a soft spot for big dogs who think they’re lap dogs (the best kind!). Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just keeping pets comfy and happy, I love making every furry, feathered, or scaly friend feel at home. I work from home, which means my schedule is super flexible and pet-friendly! I’m usually available anytime after 10 a.m., and I love fitting in walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, your pets will get plenty of love and attention without feeling lonely. Your pet’s safety and well-being always come first with me. When I’m caring for them in your home, I create a secure, calm, and dependable environment. I pay close attention to routines, follow instructions carefully, and keep a watchful eye so nothing is overlooked. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.

“Many thanks to Steven for providing excellent care for our pup Cooper. This was our first time using Steven and Rover.com, and it couldn't have gone better. First, I really liked that Steven required a meet and greet w/ us so that he could evaluate and make sure Cooper would do well there. This was very important for me, also to meet and see Steven's personality and disposition w/regard to dog care. Needles to say, I was very pleased. Steven is very relaxed, knowledgable about dogs, and extremely experienced. Cooper is a smaller -- and as Steven put it, "velcro dog" with a little bit of anxiety, yet very adaptable. Steven quickly assessed this and helped Cooper transition quickly to enable him to have a relaxed and happy stay. I will definitely be using Steven again. Thank you Steven. Thank you Rover.”

About: I’ve owned cats for most of my life and have also cared for cats as a pet sitter.

“Alyssa took great care of our cats, Misty & Fae over the Labor Day weekend. Misty requires prescription wet food and 2 medications (opened capsule & measured liquid) added to her food. Alyssa came for a meet & greet visit during the week before the weekend so she could meet the girls, see their environment & understand their food schedule & medication dosing schedule for Misty. She came for morning & evening feedings & sent us pictures from each visit. We knew they were in good hands while we were away. We will definitely call on her again! We highly recommend Alyssa!! Misty ? & Fae ? do too!”

I have used them many times, and are the first people I contact when we need someone to watch our pup. I could not sing their praises enough. Oh, and they have a fenced in back yard with a fence down the middle to create two play areas in case you have a shy dog, like my own. 5 stars isn’t enough to describe the wonderful experiences we’ve had!”

I'm a pet owner too, so I know how important it is to stick to your pet's routine and send plenty of updates so you can relax. As a graduate student, I have a very flexible schedule. My campus is only a 10-minute drive away, which means I can easily come home to check on your pet every 2-4 hours, or as often as needed. My neighborhood has plenty of green spaces and safe areas, perfect for long walks and playtime. My home features a secure, fenced-in backyard with plenty of grass, giving your pet a safe space to play and take comfortable potty breaks. I have a friendly, 5-year-old Siberian Husky who loves making new friends. For everyone's safety, he is neutered and kept completely up-to-date on all vaccinations and routine care. I also have an XL dog crate available for your dog's use if that is part of their normal routine.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of time for any pet care. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I started dog walking and pet sitting in middle school and have continued ever since. In high school, I interned at a veterinary office, where I gained experience working with animals in a medical setting, and during college I worked at a dog daycare caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with pets that have different routines, energy levels, and care requirements, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently in graduate school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my days around walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and overnight care to make sure pets get plenty of attention and consistency. I have availability during weekdays, evenings, and many weekends, and I split my time between the Baltimore County/Hunt Valley area and Ocean City, which gives me flexibility to accommodate a variety of clients and schedules. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and is a great balance alongside school. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I always follow routines closely, pay attention to their needs, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also love sending updates and photos so owners can feel relaxed while they’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I carry my own premium Pet Care/Liability Insurance for your peace of mind. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.
About: When I am home from school, I live with 2 dogs and 4 cats. My mother frequently fosters dogs from all different walks of life, so I am used to adapting to many unique circumstances! Wether your dog is out going or never leaves their crate, I’m your girl for every kind of care! I am a home body, so with the exception of the classes I have (only Tuesday through Thursday) I am always around! Having animals gives me a sense of motivation, I love knowing I’m starting and ending my day by caring for a pet. I miss my puppies while I’m away at school and can’t wait to give yours all the love I have built up! I love having a buddy to hang out with while I am doing homework, making dinner, or relaxing watching TV. I love a good schedule and will make sure your dog feels as good as possible following the same routine with me!
About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own.

During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.

I can provide early care from 6-9 AM in the morning and any time after 4:20 PM on weekdays, as well as 24 hour care on weekends and overnight stays if needed. I am able to care for pets in a wide variety of ways thanks to expensive experience. Walking, feeding, litter-box cleaning, playtime, as well as insulin/subcutaneous fluid injections are all possible. I can also administer medication orally. Daily checkups as well as overnight stays are both possible.
“My girl Rosy is a special needs dog. She's afraid of everything. The 1st time she met Julian she licked him. He's sweet and kind and very patient with her. I highly recommend him.”
“I needed a dog walker last minute & thank God Michael was available. He made sure my dog used the bathroom multiple times, sent a picture & returned him back, no problems. Will absolutely book again!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I’m a mom of twins, a proud rescue dog owner, and a frequent puppy foster. I know how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like family — and that’s exactly what I do. Your dog will always get plenty of love, care, and attention while in my hands. I have open availability and a very flexible schedule. My availability starts as early as 9am and remains open throughout the day with a short break from 3pm-5pm. I can also be available to early morning walks upon request. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family! I make sure they have lots of attention, play, and love — plus a cozy place to rest. For visits or walks at a client’s home, I respect your pet’s routines and your space, making sure everything is just the way you like it. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is being well cared for.
About: I’ve been pet/home sitting for 7 years with different families all over Maryland. My goal is to give clients ease and know their pets/home is in good hands! 😊 Since I work in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are free to walk, play, or just keep your fur baby company while you’re away. And with house sitting, I’ll make sure your plants watered, etc. What started out as something I did to help our family and friends has grown to something I thoroughly love to do! While I do not have any pets of my own, I know there is great l responsibility when taking care of animals . My promise is to keep your pets in the safe environments you’ve provided/created for them.
About: My family's love and appreciation for animals has instilled values of pet-care, discipline, and adoration for animals within me. Throughout my life, I've always owned a dog or cat, so I've grown accustomed to animal needs and routines. My experience with fostering has taught me the individuality of a dog's needs and how pets require care that is specific to their conditions and dispositions. One of my fosters was a puppy, so I have experience with a range of dog ages. Another was a border collie, so I am familiar with high energy dogs. My parents possess strict and high standards for the pet sitters that take care of our cat and dog, which has extended to my current standards that I hold for myself. I completely understand the struggle of leaving your pets, and with this in mind I will provide loving, reliable, and trustworthy care. As a student who is on break for the winter, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Having a flexible winter schedule allows me to devote ample time and attention to your pet's needs. My years of experience with animals allow me to affectionately and quickly connect with other pets. I strive to create a calm and loving atmosphere so your pets will feel at home with me. It is my top priority to ensure your pet's happiness and safety. With my accumulated knowledge I will cater to your pets individual needs, whether that be feeding, grooming, playtime, or cuddles.

“Marwa and Casey took such good care of our pup! Their communication was excellent and we enjoyed getting pictures of him throughout his stay. We are very thankful for their love, patience, and understanding of our pup as he has really bad anxiety. Marwa understood his needs and met them in perfectly. We hope he can stay again in the future!”
“We had an excellent experience with Rodney. We loved the daily updates with pictures. Our dog loved her stay and enjoyed lots of fun with Rodney's dogs. It made for a great vacation knowing that our dog was having a good time.”
“Melissa was a perfect fit for our pup. Her two dogs are wonderful, and our dog had a great time. I’m not even sure she missed us!! Would definitely have Melissa watch our dog in the future.”
“We had an exceptional experience and couldn’t be happier with our dog’s stay with Lora! Our dog, Frankie, stayed with Lora for 11 days over Christmas and New Year’s, and she had the best time. Lora was incredibly responsive to all our texts, providing us with regular updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Lora was also very accommodating when we had to make last-minute changes to the drop-off date and pick-up time, showing just how flexible and understanding she is. Frankie seemed so content and happy when we picked her up, and it was clear she had been well taken care of. We highly recommend Lora to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog boarder. We will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Lora, for making Frankie’s stay so wonderful!”
“Jon and Mary took great care of our Faye. We haven't left our puppy with anyone before so we were very nervous. They put us at ease by talking to us for a while about their rover experience. They have two adorable, friendly, fun loving labs that played with our little Faye. Their family all pitched in to keep Faye happy and active. We will definitely be using Jon and Mary again. Highly recomend!”
About: Hello! I am a veterinary technician of 8 years and pet owner of 20+ years who is highly experienced in animal care and petsitting. As a cat, horse, and previous dog owner myself I understand that our pets are our family! I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I work part time hours and am off weekends and holidays. I’m happy to spend my free time playing, walking, and spending time with your pet! While at work crates, gates, or free roam can be used depending on your pets needs and comfort. Pets will be monitored through pet cams during working hours. While in my home pets can have free roam or access to a crate depending on their needs and comfort. For walks I utilize harnesses and if needed can add a back up slip lead if owner feels more comfortable to ensure safety. Pets will always have access to fresh water and toys and will be well loved while in my care!
“James and Mary are great. Our Copper really like them and he feels very safe with them. We plan to use them for all dog watching ventures in the future. A huge thank you to them both. Cat and Kenny”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our puppy dog received from Jena! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. We received daily updates with videos and pictures, which were such a comforting touch and really showed how much fun he was having. It was clear he was being treated like one of the family. When he came home, he was happy, healthy—and completely exhausted from all the playtime and attention! We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was 6, and I can’t imagine life without them! I grew up with small dogs and now share my home with three wonderful cats, including a sweet senior. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for not just cats and dogs, but also mice, rabbits, snakes, and even a duck with no legs named Peggy. I also have a soft spot for big dogs who think they’re lap dogs (the best kind!). Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just keeping pets comfy and happy, I love making every furry, feathered, or scaly friend feel at home. I work from home, which means my schedule is super flexible and pet-friendly! I’m usually available anytime after 10 a.m., and I love fitting in walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, your pets will get plenty of love and attention without feeling lonely. Your pet’s safety and well-being always come first with me. When I’m caring for them in your home, I create a secure, calm, and dependable environment. I pay close attention to routines, follow instructions carefully, and keep a watchful eye so nothing is overlooked. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.
“This was my first time using Heather, and she did not disappoint! She sent me regular updates and pictures which put my mind to ease. My dog had a great “vacation” and came home happy. I will definitely use her again!”
“Many thanks to Steven for providing excellent care for our pup Cooper. This was our first time using Steven and Rover.com, and it couldn't have gone better. First, I really liked that Steven required a meet and greet w/ us so that he could evaluate and make sure Cooper would do well there. This was very important for me, also to meet and see Steven's personality and disposition w/regard to dog care. Needles to say, I was very pleased. Steven is very relaxed, knowledgable about dogs, and extremely experienced. Cooper is a smaller -- and as Steven put it, "velcro dog" with a little bit of anxiety, yet very adaptable. Steven quickly assessed this and helped Cooper transition quickly to enable him to have a relaxed and happy stay. I will definitely be using Steven again. Thank you Steven. Thank you Rover.”
“Awesome awesomeness, taco had an awesome time. For him to be a very high energy dog Nicole and her family made sure he enjoyed himself to the point that all that husky puppy energy was spent. Already planning to schedule another boarding with her”
“Chris was great with Koto. This was a last minute booking and also our first time using Rover. We were pleasantly surprised. Chris was wonderful with Koto and provided pictures and updates daily. When we picked up Koto he was the same energetic friendly boy and his stool was not soft or diarrhea (results of a previous bad boarding experience). And Chris made Koto his own personalized bag with his name and picture on the bag. How special is that! This was a great experience and we will definitely be using Chris in the future! .”
“I am again very pleased with the care Shiloh gets during her stay with Melanie (and her family). Photos and communication is great and allows me to enjoy my time away. If I need a sitter for puppy camp again I will definitely be rebooking with Melanie”
“Keiwana and her gorgeous family took amazing care of our 4 month old puppy Rosie. They were so kind and patient - Rosie made more than a few mistakes but they were so understanding and graceful about it. Keiwana also sent us so many great pictures of Rosie throughout the weekend! Rosie made some new friends with their sweet dog Bailey and two little girls, and she didn’t want to leave when we came to get her! (but when we did get back home, she was so tired and napped like an angel). We would most definitely use them again (but maybe when Rosie’s older so their beautiful house doesn’t get any more puppy damage!!) Thank you SO MUCH to Keiwana & family!!”
“Jessica was extremely accommodating and communicated regularly throughout our stay to make sure we felt comfortable and reassured. Our dog had lots of love and adventure and was tuckered out when we picked him up :)”
