Highly-rated overnight sitters - Crofton
“A very positive experience. My Bear received highly personalized care and a happy home to live & play in. Very communicative service and professional care! Highly recommended.”
“Shuling is amazing! She is very responsive, takes lots of pictures to show that your baby is doing well. My furbaby looked happy and entertained in all the pictures. She was also able to fit me in last minute for a repeat stay and my pup recognized the house and was happy to be there. No reservations to using Shuling again.”
“Mady is AMAZING! She helped us out in a last minute pinch and made sure our pup had a fun, exciting day. She sends lots of pictures and gave Kiko lots of love! Thanks, Mady!”
“Eli is the best!! I love the care he shows Skittles. I didn’t send enough food for my dog and Eli purchased more food for my furbaby!! The videos and pictures always made me feel good that my Skittles was doing just fine!! Eli will always be my first choice to sit for my dog.”
“Sandra and her family were absolutely amazing with Echo for her 17-day stay: they took her out on excursions, updated us daily, and even let us know about which dogs Echo got along best with. We could tell with each photo and video that our pup was having the time of her life, and we were a little worried she wouldn't want to come back home! 😂 Echo got all of the attention she needed and had a blast playing with all of the dogs. Would 100% recommend boarding with Sandra; she's an expert with dogs, and we totally trust Echo in her care.”
“During my elderly dog’s 17 days of stay, Nadia provided frequent updates and pictures and communicated with me regularly. My dog looked really well when we picked her up. I was very nervous since she never stayed w a dog-sitter before. I am very grateful. Thank you, Nadia.”
“Angela was so very warm, welcoming, and kind to our puppy. Minnie took to her right away, and because of the meet and greet, she knew exactly where we were going when we dropped her off. Angela was very thorough, asking all the important questions, and she even let my daughter visit to say hi to Minnie.”
“Megan did a super job of caring for our cat, Tux. She was easy to communicate with and even shared photos and a video of him during his stay with her. I highly recommend her to take care of your furry friend!”
“My fur baby had an amazing time with Crystal. She sent me pictures or videos everyday. I felt reassured that he was being taken care of. I plan on booking Bailey again with her soon. Excellent sitter and so knowledgeable about dogs.”
“Alicia took great care of Blossom. Blossom had a great time over the holiday playing with the kids. I appreciate that Alicia sent pictures and videos every day. I appreciated the family environment for Blossom. I would recommend Alicia she is very good with puppies. I know Blossom can be a handful at times, but Alicia handles her with great care. Blossom was a part of the family while she was there. Thank you so much!”
“Marta was amazing!!! I am a firefighter with a crazy schedule but that didn’t phase her one bit. She accommodated my schedule, and loved my puppy like it was her own. I got pictures throughout the day and updates about how she was doing. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Definitely recommend.”
“My fur baby had a wonderful time with Kelly and her family. Kelly shared plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day, which I appreciated. She took wonderful care of my pup. Kelly is so kind and sweet, we'd definitely use her services again!”
“Dana was amazing with our little blind chihuahua Buddy. She was very responsive and sent a bunch of pictures. We will reach out to her when we need a sitter in the future!”
“Goose stayed with Brittany while I was on vacation and she was incredible! Constant updates without me asking, and Goose looked so happy and well cared for. I’ll absolutely book again — highly recommend!”
“Barbara was absolutely what I had been searching for. I wanted someone to care for Bentley as if he was their own. I needed to have a person that understands pups that are somewhat privileged (spoiled). Bentley was cared for and loved on and was never exposed to danger. Barbara cared for Bentkey so well that he became possessive when her when her pup Justice wanted her attention. Barbara is an A1 sitter and I would use her again.”
“What a delightful time Ginger had, with this lovely family. Carlie was attentive, flexible, and like a second home while I was away. I will definitely be returning.”
About: I have experience with my own dog and have professional training in behavior therapy. Your dog will be loved and taken care of while you are away. I like to get to know the dog and its owner very well by taking a comprehensive approach and understanding the dog's unique needs (either physical, medical or emotional). Dog owners will be at peace knowing that I can provide excellent care of their dog. I love to exercise and have an active dog, so your dog will be in excellent hands. I work from home one day a week and my husband gets home early in the afternoons and can provide care for pets as well. I make sure dogs are safe. They are welcome to cuddle with me on the sofa or I can crate them if they want to. Dogs are welcome in all areas of my home. I have one small dog and your dog will also have a furry friend to keep it company and play with.
“Bria was AMAZING with my little pup. She took excellent care for him while I was on a trip. I received timely updates with pictures about how he was doing. He was happy with her and really took to her. She has an excellent spirited personality which I'm sure makes pups like her so much. I would definitely trust her with my precious pup again and I highly recommend her. She was also flexible with my drop off and pick up time.”

“Rachel was amazing and so so helpful. We lost power/wifi while out of town and she offered to try and reset it for us to get our litter robot and automatic feeders back up and running. Will definitely be using her again!!”
“Talia took great care of my cats, and the super shy one came out to see her! She even brought in a couple packages that were delivered, so they weren't sitting on the porch. I am so thankful for her help.”
“This was my first experience using Taryn for my cat & she did a wonderful job! Very reliable & responsive. Followed the care instructions perfectly & provided great pets/playtime. I will certainly reach out to Taryn again in the future.”
“Heather was outstanding watching our two dogs and cat while we were away for 2 weeks. She is reliable, communicates clearly, and is very comfortable handling multiple pets. During our trip, one of our dogs had an unexpected medical issue, and Heather handled everything start to finish. She recognized something wasn’t right, notified us and with our ok took him to the vet, kept us informed the whole time, and took care of the treatment he needed to get better. Her experience working in a veterinary setting really showed, and while we felt completely comfortable trusting her to make the right decisions, she also made sure we knew what was going on every step of the way. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and everything in great shape. Heather is truly extraordinary and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Julia 😊☀️ For as long as I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by dogs. Growing up, I had all kinds—from dachshunds and pit bulls to Australian Shepherds and lovable mutts—and I’ve fallen in love with each and every one. I’ve previously worked at a veterinary hospital as well as a pet boarding facility, gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’m now a stay-at-home mom to two beautiful, animal-loving girls who may occasionally join me. I truly believe dogs are best friends and should be treated as such. You can trust that I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I’m at home every day with my two daughters so I have a wide open schedule. I took a 3 year break from rover to raise my babies and now I’m looking to get back to dog walking! I have a lot of availability and love to be outdoors- rain or shine. I live on a 6 acre farm that has some areas fenced and lots of room for my 2 dogs to run and explore. I love to let any dogs that I watch get out some energy by running and getting to sniff & explore everything in sight.
“Jessica was a great pet sitter for our 2 cats! She did a great job administering medication to our cat, who typically hates it and hides. She communicated well and was very reliable! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Brenna agreed to drop-in on our cats last minute. She provided wonderful care and shared daily picutres of our babies. She also brought in our unexpected packages. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Michael was incredibly helpful and accommodating to my cat. We just recently lost our other cat and Michael took extra care to make sure everything went smoothly. He took lots of pictures too! I highly recommend him and I will be rebooking for future trips.”
“We were nervous to let somebody in the house while we were gone but we had a great experience. I’m very happy with the services Hailey provided during our vacation. She took a really good care of our cat and she followed every single direction I gave her. I highly recommend her and I will hire her again for sure.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years now. Including; family, friends, and new faces! I have a Golden Lab of my own as well! I currently work part-time, so I am very open to many different times and opportunities to help out with anything needed for the future comings! While caring for pets, I make sure they are fed right, active, as well as well cared for! I never do anything without asking the owners first!
“Always love working with Serena! What is more important is that the kitties love her too. Wonderful communication and will absolutely be chosing Serena for future care.”
“Melissa took wonderful care of our two kitties. She took detailed notes about their care, checked in with us promptly about any questions, and is very responsive. We loved the reports and pictures she left for us with each visit. We felt like we knew exactly how our cats were doing, that they were well cared for, and that they were completely comfortable with Melissa.”
About: I have had a dog of every age at some point in my life and they brought me so much joy. I no longer have pets of my own but I would love the chance to care for yours. I am not currently in school so I will have plenty of time to give your pets (or pets) all the love and attention needed. I have a small fenced yard if the service will be done in my home, and will follow the pet parents routine if the service is at your home.
About: I’ve lived with and cared for cats for years, including living in a household with five cats, caring for kittens, and currently owning a cat of my own. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I always take a calm, patient approach to earn their trust. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box care, medication administration, and monitoring for signs of illness or stress. Whether your cat is social, shy, young, or senior, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, loving care while you’re away.
About: I cared for my own cat for 20 years and have experience helping friends and neighbors with theirs too. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats space when they need it. I understand every cat is different and try to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Crofton
About: I have owned pets most of my life. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and many other animals. I am also great with plants. I have been pet sitting outside of Rover for many years. I have a very sweet pit mix and do not discriminate against any breed! I understand the importance of trust and communication while allowing someone to care for your pet! I will always go above and beyond to give extra love to your furry friend, not just take care of basic needs. I keep a well stocked pet cabinet and bring supplies with me for sits, drop-ins, and walks. Anxiety, tummy issues, allergies, discomfort, first aid, grooming, enrichment- you name it, I'm prepared. I've handled several medical emergencies. I take the responsibility seriously. You can trust your family member will be properly cared for in any situation. Any concerns or changes in routine will be addressed with you immediately. *If interested in boarding please note that I do have a 66 pound Pit mix. He previously lived with another dog, a cat, and two toddlers. He is very friendly with absolutely zero aggression. He will not stand up for himself. I would be happy to do a meet and greet in my home or on neutral ground. If your pet is not compatible with large male dogs, please do not request this service. Alternatively, I would be happy to pet sit or stop in for longer visits. I work from home part time with very flexible hours. I can easily fit any needed pet care into my routine. I am up and available at most hours, early morning and late at night included. I do not board more than 2 pets at a time. Though I do not personally crate, I will if it's the routine of your pet and the crate is provided. My home is equipped with baby gates and large bedrooms so I am prepared to separate without your furry friend feeling too cooped up, should the need arise. I do not have a fenced backyard. Walks will be given a minimum of 3 times a day. 4-5 walks is my normal routine, though I am happy to follow your pets cues or their routine. My neighborhood is pet friendly with walking trails and lots of shaded areas. I have a deck with a large umbrella and dog beds, perfect if your pet likes to sunbathe as mine does!
“Jasmine was so great with Willow! She took her to the dog park, was flexible with my schedule, and even washed Willow’s bedding when she happy peed on it. Will definitely use Jasmine in the future!”
“Marta is wonderful! Finn had so much fun at her house and yard. She made sure that he would be compatible with the other dogs that were there and she sent me updates and lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Maria is amazing! We are so grateful to have her to take care of our puppy while we are away. She stayed in close communication with us throughout our trip, sent us lots of updates, and made sure our puppy got lots of love. It's great to have the peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands with Maria. I highly recommend!”
About: Now we have a baby in the house ✨ I work fully from home - your pup will have company all the time! ♥️ If you ask my clients, they’ll rave about the care I give their puppies! As a former responsible nanny, I’ve transitioned to pet sitting because I truly love spending time with dogs. I grew up taking care of my own dogs, and during my time as a nanny, I also provided dog walks and boarding. With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, it’s been a lovely journey that has deepened my passion for pets. Dogs bring me so much joy, and I’ve also learned to love cats. While our beloved cat, Stinky, is no longer with us, he holds a special place in my heart. 🌈 ✨ I’m busy on Mondays, so I may not be the best fit if your pup needs constant company then. I’m available the rest of the week and would love to help!✨ When working from home, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to adapt to your dog’s needs. We’ll enjoy lovely walks around my house in a nature-filled area, have plenty of playtime, and I’ll ensure they’re fed on time with some treats if allowed! 🥰 Always following instructions of the pet parents and doing what is safe for them. I am very responsible, former nanny and pet sitter! I will keep them happy, safe and sound.
About: As a homeschooling mom, I’m home most of the day, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods.

About: I've had dogs since I was 9 years old. Friends and family rely on me to walk and feed their dogs. I love playing and caring for dogs! I mostly work from home during the week so I am able to be fully present and attentive to those I am watching during that time. I stick to a schedule based on what their owner has told me what their needs are. I like to stick to their walking and feeding routine, as well as gaining their trust so they are comfortable in my home.
“Jayline is a very nice person and accommodating dog sitter. My daughters Pooch was obviously happy with Jayline. The booking service was uneventful and a very smooth process. I plan to use Rover often and refer folks to look for Jayline specifically. Thank you again Jayline”

Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I understand the importance of consistency and reliability when it comes to looking after pets. On a daily basis, I allocate specific time slots for feeding, exercise, and playtime with the dogs under my care. This ensures that they receive regular meals, get ample exercise to maintain their physical and mental well-being, and have plenty of interactive and stimulating activities to keep them engaged. I also prioritize regular walks to provide them with fresh air and opportunities for socialization. Additionally, I integrate grooming and hygiene practices into their routine, such as brushing their coats, trimming nails, and cleaning their ears and teeth as required. I make sure to stay updated on any specific instructions or preferences from pet owners, such as dietary restrictions or medication schedules, and incorporate them into the daily care routine. Overall, pet care is not just a task for me; it's a dedicated commitment that I fulfill diligently and with utmost care and attention. When caring for pets in my home, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for them. I ensure that the area where they stay is clean, well-maintained, and free from any potential hazards. I provide them with a cozy bed, fresh water, and appropriate toys for playtime and mental stimulation. Regular exercise and walks are incorporated into their daily routine, and I make sure they receive a balanced diet according to their specific dietary needs. If there are any medications or special treatments required, I administer them on time and with proper care. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining a familiar and consistent environment for them. I follow the pet owner's instructions and routines closely to minimize any disruptions to the pet's daily life. I ensure that their feeding, exercise, and medication schedules are adhered to strictly. Additionally, I pay attention to their comfort and emotional well-being, providing them with ample attention, affection, and companionship. In both cases, I maintain open and transparent communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured about their pet's well-being. I make it a point to be responsive to any specific requests or concerns they may have, ensuring that their pets receive the highest quality care and attention, whether in my home or theirs.
“Thank you, Kiki, for making Bella feel at home. For my somewhat anxious 9 year old, this was a wonderful treat! Looking forward to day care and boarding with you for our little gal!”
“Nick provided excellent care for Maverick while I had to attend an in-person work meeting for the day. He kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and he sent the best pictures of Maverick enjoying himself. It was clear Maverick was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. I truly appreciate the attention and care Nick provided, especially with Maverick still being a puppy. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for reliable and caring puppy-watching services!”
“Alison is an amazing dog sitter. She sends me pictures throughout the day. She’s very quick and easy with communication. I fully trust her to love and take care of my fur baby”
About: Richard has had many dogs his whole life and loves for them to be happy. Richard has always done well with animals and wants to provide comfort in a new environment. Richard also has prior experience helping other Rover providers from living with roomates so he is used to taking care of dogs of all types and sizes. Anny has started taking of our toy poodle Katsumi since March 2024 and grew up with a family cat. She has experience taking care of a variety of different pets since starting Rover. Anny is a very loving person and loves to play and take care of dogs. Anny is a stay at home wife who wants to spend her free time at home. She is always concerned to make sure everyone has enough water and is taken care of. We typically wake up early in the morning everyday and will feed the pets and let them go potty first thing. Richard goes to work early in the morning while Anny stays home to take care of the pets. Richard is usually back early in the afternoon and we will both be home to take care of the pets together as a team. We prefer pickup and drop off times to be in the afternoon after 3:30 pm if possible. We have a first floor space where the guest pets stay. There is also a play pen area full of blankets for dogs to lounge and play in if desired. The play pen and blankets are washed between each guest we receive. We try to make the play pen as fun as possible so feel free to bring toys. We can provide dog training pads as well. We are careful to make sure the dog will not run away outside and that the cat stays inside. We can accept or provide pet furniture such as dog beds, toys, bowls, food. Bringing your own food and treats is highly encouraged to maintain the same healthy diet. We want to make friends with your pets. Anything you need and we will do our best to help. We have a toy poodle that spends most of her time upstairs or in the kitchen. She is up-to-date with all vaccines. Because she is very small, she doesn't usually interact with the guest dogs unless we ensure they are compatable. If they are compatable, we are happy to let them play together while supervised.
About: MOONWALKS ! Hey, my name is Elijah Moon, nice to meet you :) With a lifelong passion for dogs, I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and have worked professionally at Camp Bow Wow, where I handled and supervised up to 50 dogs at a time, as well as volunteering at local animal shelters. I provide reliable, loving care and intentionally limit daycare to a maximum of four dogs at a time, to ensure each dog receives plenty of attention and supervision. For safety and quality care, boarding is limited to one dog at a time, with an exception for two dogs from the same household. If you have any questions or want to see if we’re a good fit, send me a message anytime. My daily schedule runs from 8 AM to 4 PM and includes a balance of play, rest, and structure. Dogs enjoy two scheduled walks at 10 AM and 3 PM, with plenty of supervised playtime throughout the day. A rest/quiet period is from 1–2 PM to help dogs recharge, and mealtime can be accommodated around 12 PM if food is provided. I care for pets with a calm, structured approach tailored to each service. In my home, I have two separate gated areas that allow dogs to be kept safely apart if needed, ensuring comfort, reduced stress, and controlled interactions. The spaces are fully separated so dogs do not see each other, and there is plenty of room for rest and movement. I’m always happy to provide photos of these areas to owners for transparency and peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions. Mainly to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. My goal is to provide safe, attentive, one-on-one care in every setting.

“Michele watched our dog Aspen for the day and was awesome! She and Aspen had a great time hanging out, going on walks, and riding in the car together. Michele was very communicative and sent us updates. We would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for a few years and have grown to love it! I recently worked at a dog day care so I have lots of experience with dogs and giving medications. I also have some vet experience too! I’m currently in college part-time but living at home. Outside of schooling I’m available in the afternoons and weekends. During the summer I have full availability. I provide a safe and caring environment for all pets. I make sure they have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention. I follow the owner’s feeding and care instructions closely and keep pets supervised to ensure they stay happy, comfortable, and safe.
“Taryn was prompt in responding to my request to walk my dog Leo and went over and beyond what was expected of her while walking him. She changed his water after walking him (voluntarily) and left detailed reports for each day she walked him. Thank you Taryn!”
“Rachel was excellent with our senior dog (Bentley). She took on the assignment at the very last minute due to our original Walker coming down with an illness. Ulthough a last minute request, Rachel came over the night before to make sure she met Bentley and to introduce herself to us. We explained our walking and feeding processes to her, and she was very accepting to the routine. While we were on our trip, Rachel sent us numerous pictures of Bentley either at home or on his walk. She kept us well updated on his activities. Unfortunately, while we were gone, he did have some accidents in the house, and Rachel cleaned them up and took care of making sure that everything was disposed to properly and that the rags used to clean up the mess were washed. Wonderful customer service. We would not hesitate to use Rachel again, as well as recommend her to any of our friends.”
About: I’ve always been around animals—I currently have a dog and three cats, so I’m used to daily care, feeding, and handling different personalities. I’ve also helped take care of my mom’s and brother’s pets over the years, so I’m comfortable stepping into someone else’s routine and making sure their animals are taken care of the right way. I’m patient, reliable, and I actually pay attention to details like feeding schedules, behavior, and making sure pets feel comfortable while you’re away. My schedule is pretty consistent, so I can plan around your pet’s needs. I’m available most days and can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on what’s needed. I already take care of my own pets daily, so feeding, walks, and check-ins are part of my routine. I’m flexible and good with sticking to whatever schedule your pet is used to. I treat other people’s pets the same way I treat my own. I pay attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free. I have experience with multiple animals at once, including my own dog and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I keep a clean, safe environment and can follow any specific instructions you have, including crating if needed.
“Hailey did a terrrific job walking Sulley! She even went above and beyond and took Sulley for a jog and he was worn out and so well behaved for me when I returned from work!”
About: Hey my names Nia! Im a 35 year old pet enthusiast. I live in Glen burnie. Grew up in Crofton and recently moved back! I have reliable transportation. Want your pup to go to a dog park? No problem! I have a 12 year old Shepard-pit rescue named Karma that I frequently take on hikes and to parks alike. Ive also got another pitbull rescue named Sasha. High-energy and low-energy dogs and all breeds are welcome I love them all. Im very flexible when it comes to you and your furry friends needs. Ive owned 4 dogs and a cat in my lifetime so I know all pets aren't the same. My oldest lady Spice lived a long happy life of 16 years! I miss her terribly but she taught me a lot about being a responsible pet owner. Ive also volunteered at the local SPCA in Maryland. Ive also got experience with large dogs. I used to work on a horse farm and care for the horses, dogs, and pigs there. One was an Irish Wolfhound and man was he huge! Ive also spent a few months at a local veterinary hospital in Maryland shadowing when I was thinking of pursuing a vet career so Im comfortable handling medications and recovery situations as well. Why I love dog sitting Ive been a dog lover forever. I got my first pup at 7 years old. She was a shepard/pit mix. Loved her for 16 years until she passed away this spring. Ive had 2 other dogs in between; A cocker spaniel named Rex and my most current pup Karma. Shes another pit/shepard mix that I rescued from animal control. Ive got plently of experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I also worked on a horse farm that owned a pack of dogs. They were loads of fun, although some needed medicine to be administered. We took hikes and swims and it was always a good time. Rest assured im good at following any directions you can give me. My experience administering medication Im definitely comfortable administering medication. Ive had to do it with my Old lady Spice. Having a dog for 17 years a few problems arose that were handled with home medication. Also my current pup has horrible allergies so she gets medicine for that for time to time. I'm currently self employed so I've got plenty of availability to tend to your babies! I work most days but can leave anytime to do check ins for sure Not currently offering boarding. More than willing to come to your home though. I take dogs on daily walks. If you've got a yard we can have some outdoor playtime as well. I love to keep them stimulated so you've got a well entertained and content furbaby.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and previously worked in a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m experienced with dog walking, safe leash handling, feeding routines, medication administration, and recognizing signs that a dog may not be feeling well.

When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs to help pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I take a patient, gentle approach and pay close attention to each pet’s body language and personality, whether they love attention or prefer their space. I also make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise and enrichment, and lots of love. Regular updates and photos are always provided so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I grew up with several dogs living in CT. Over the last eight years in MD I have offered to pet sit and walk or let out neighbors dogs building clientele. A dog to me is more than a pet its a loving companion, its therapy! Nobody else gives you unconditional love like a dog everyday you come home. I'm currently working remotely, which gives me the freedom to stay at the house all day and to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well taken care of. I like to stay at the client's home to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment and so they can stay in their routine.

About: With over 10 years of experience in dog care and as a proud owner of two lovable pups, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for ensuring dogs are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. From daily walks and playtime to specialized care and attention, I’ve got it covered! Integrating pet sitting into my weekly routine can be seamless and rewarding. Whether it's scheduling walks, playtime, or feeding, I can easily fit these tasks around my daily activities. Plus, the companionship and joy from spending time with pets can be a great stress reliever and a fun way to stay active! Caring for dogs in either my home or a client's home involves ensuring their safety and comfort. I start with an initial meeting to understand the dog's routine and needs. I maintain a safe environment and follow the specific feeding schedule and dietary requirements provided by the owner. Regular walks and playtime are essential to keep the dog active and happy. I make sure the dog feels at home by providing familiar toys, bedding, and lots of affection. Monitoring the dog's health and administering any necessary medications are also crucial. Throughout the stay, I keep the owner updated with regular messages and photos, ensuring peace of mind.
“Miranda has been absolutely wonderful, I’m so glad I found her. She was available with short notice to walk my dog a few days a week while I’m at work. She’s very reliable, punctual and she’s been sooo patient with my sweet boy and his behavior issues. I love seeing his Rover Card and hearing how the day went and seeing the pics she’s taken! She’s a real natural with animals. It’s such a relief knowIng he’s well taken care of when I can’t be there.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently pet sit for friends and neighbors. Love all animals, looking to meet new pet friends!! 💗 I work part-time and have 2 kids but have lots of time most days to provide nurturing care to you animals. I only work about 12 hours a week. I have a small fenced yard and lots of sidewalks in my neighborhood to provide long walks. If sitting in your home I will be respectful of your space and follow all instructions.

“A very positive experience. My Bear received highly personalized care and a happy home to live & play in. Very communicative service and professional care! Highly recommended.”
“Mady is AMAZING! She helped us out in a last minute pinch and made sure our pup had a fun, exciting day. She sends lots of pictures and gave Kiko lots of love! Thanks, Mady!”
“Sandra and her family were absolutely amazing with Echo for her 17-day stay: they took her out on excursions, updated us daily, and even let us know about which dogs Echo got along best with. We could tell with each photo and video that our pup was having the time of her life, and we were a little worried she wouldn't want to come back home! 😂 Echo got all of the attention she needed and had a blast playing with all of the dogs. Would 100% recommend boarding with Sandra; she's an expert with dogs, and we totally trust Echo in her care.”
“Marta was amazing!!! I am a firefighter with a crazy schedule but that didn’t phase her one bit. She accommodated my schedule, and loved my puppy like it was her own. I got pictures throughout the day and updates about how she was doing. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Definitely recommend.”
“Dana was amazing with our little blind chihuahua Buddy. She was very responsive and sent a bunch of pictures. We will reach out to her when we need a sitter in the future!”
“What a delightful time Ginger had, with this lovely family. Carlie was attentive, flexible, and like a second home while I was away. I will definitely be returning.”
“Bria was AMAZING with my little pup. She took excellent care for him while I was on a trip. I received timely updates with pictures about how he was doing. He was happy with her and really took to her. She has an excellent spirited personality which I'm sure makes pups like her so much. I would definitely trust her with my precious pup again and I highly recommend her. She was also flexible with my drop off and pick up time.”
About: Feel free to book me to take care of your puppy while you’re away! Big or small I’ve been doing this since a young child. I grew up with small dogs my whole life and have been a dog trainer on the side for the past 6 years. My Dobie, Eero recently passed away and the house is too quiet without pups. Dogs just want to have fun, make friends and feel comfortable and that’s what I provide. I have a fully fenced in backyard, a house with plenty of room, and I work remotely. I love puppies, senior dogs and everyone in between. I work from home everyday, so it is easy for me to care for your buddy, and be with them 24x7. I go for daily walks in the morning and evening, and spend a lot of time outside in my backyard. I have a fenced yard, crates of all sizes, dog beds, dog toys, a big couch and bed for them to sleep in if they would like.
“We are absolutely thrilled to have met Anissa and her family! From the meet and greet and throughout all of our booking, it was easy to see that Anissa is experienced and professional. Our dog Chupie had a wonderful time and it gave us such peace of mind to know that she is cared for and loved. Anissa sent me frequent updates and photos and it was always a joy to communicate with her. She even got Chupie a coat when the weather got colder ❤️ Thank you so much for taking great care of our Chupie ☺️”
“Remunalila was fantastic with my dogs, super attentive and extremely communicative. Her home was very pet friendly and I could tell my dogs enjoyed their stay with her!”
“Sari did an amazing job with Rusty! From the drop off I could tell she was incredibly attentive to his needs and getting him comfortable in her home. She did an excellent job keeping us updated throughout his stay. If your dog loves long walks, you MUST book Sari. She said over his 4 day stay, she walked him at least 18 miles. He came back happy and relaxed.”
“Rachel and her family were absolutely wonderful to Zoë!!! She kept me updated frequently and sent plenty of pictures to let me know how safe and happy Zoë was in her care! I highly recommend Rachel!”
“Our cat Captain stayed with Jackalyn while we were on our honeymoon! :) She suggested a meet-and-greet at her place with her cat first, which ended up really setting our minds at ease that they could easily coexist. Jackalyn took meticulous notes about Captain's eating schedule, health, and normal behaviors. When we were gone, she gave us regular updates with photos and was always quick to respond to us. We always hate leaving our furry babies, but we knew Captain was in a caring, loving home.. and that makes helps make a trip so much more relaxing!”
“Very communicative and took great care of my senior dog! She's very experienced with giving insulin shots and medications. She a fantastic job with frequent walks and making my dog feel comfortable.”
“Donna is a true dog lover. It was evident to us from our meet and greet that she is familiar with dog behavior and has the temperament to deal with different types of dogs. She was very warm and loving to our dog, got to know him and cared for him accordingly. We were kept abreast of what was going on with him every day of the 10 days that we were away and felt totally comfortable with her. We will definitely board our dog with her again.”
“Tiffany is a kind, responsible, and very thoughtful sitter. Great communication before and during the stay. I appreciate the lengths she went to in order to ensure that my pups were taken care of. Truly went above and beyond!”
“Michele is wonderful! Our little man loves being with her and feels right at home. She takes him on fun adventures and her family showers him with love. She is a wonderful communicator and we never worry while we are gone. Highly recommend.”
“Jasmine took wonderful care of our dog Hank over a long weekend for us. Hank came home happy and healthy and had a fun time with Jasmine! Jasmine is communicative, flexible, responsive, and a real animal lover. Your pets are in good hands here with her!”
