“Yukia was awesome! My dog left her house very happy. She took him on walks and he got to play with other dogs. She also worked with me and added an extra day when I realized I messed up the schedule. I highly recommend Yukia.”
“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.”
“Mady was wonderful! She welcomed Sydney in to her home and took her out for regular walks. She communicated regularly and showed great care and concern when Sydney happened to get a bee sting while outside. We plan on boarding her with Mady again!”
“Eli was awesome! My dog is somewhat shy but she took to Eli right away. Eli picked my furbaby up and once he was back to his home he sent a picture of my pooch and where she had her kennel setup. Skittles was able sit and stare out the windows, which she loves to do. I received plenty of pictures to put me at ease. Eli also had a camera setup so I could see my dog if I wanted!!! I’m super happy with Eli as he was on time for pickup and drop off and overall is a very nice person! I will definitely board my dog with Eli again!!!!”
“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!”
“Bailey and I were very happy with Jasmine’s care. Bailey has separation anxiety + generalized anxiety and usually gets sick when returning home. From the first time he saw Jasmine he was very comfortable with her. I give Jasmine her 10s.”
“Alicia was a lovely sitter to care for my Cinnamon. Cinni was at home after the first meet and greet. Alicia was communicative and sent plenty of pictures. Cinni also made a new friend with her dog Tamarind as well. We look forward to using her services in the future.”
“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.”
“Carlie and her family could not have been more loving and attentive. Arlo probably wanted to live there forever. She was incredibly kind about a mistake I made on pick up time.”
“This was our first time boarding Black with a sitter, and Crystal provided a great experience for Black and for us. When we dropped him off, he didn’t even look back as she ushered him inside which told us he was comfortable with Crystal from the very beginning. When we picked Black up, he was excited to see us AND sad for his weekend with Crystal to come to an end. Black had a couple of behavioral issues during his stay and Crystal was very attentive taking great care of his needs and keeping us updated with great photos and detailed reports. We highly recommend Crystal.”
“Kiki is the best! She is flexible, responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind. Finley clearly had a great time with her and Skittles, and I really appreciated the regular updates- it made me feel like he was safe, happy, and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“We greatly appreciated Kelly and Maurice's flexibility when we had a last minute request for our Roxy. She was well taken care of, loved on, and made comfortable as soon as we dropped her off. It helped ease our minds knowing that she was in a great environment!”
“Ahhhmazing!!! Michelle will absolutely be our go to dog sitter! Oliver is still a puppy so he is high energy and still working on his potty training. This was our first time using rover and his first time away from us. Michelle took care of him above and beyond our expectations! She sent us model pictures of him daily (much better than he lets us take of him, so we have new profile pics of him, lol!) She provided daily updates with the pics too, all of which gave us complete peace of mind! We couldn’t have had a better experience and that made our vacation that much more relaxing. We are extremely thankful to Michelle for treating Oliver like her own! 😊”
“Dana was great with our 2 older but very active pitties. We're always a bit worried with a new sitter but she went above and beyond to make us (and them) feel comfortable and relaxed while we were gone. They loved being around her kids too which is a plus since they rarely get to play with kids anymore. We'll definitely use her again!”
“I love Maria she was so attentive to our lil peanut and you can tell she loves animals. When we picked him up she was so concerned about the tears in his eyes that she kept trying to clean it. I will definately be using her again and loved that she cared for our lil family member like he was her own.”
“Sharon was great with our dog, Miles. He felt very comfortable in her home and she took great care of him. She was very quick with communication and sent pictures of him while we were away! Miles would love to stay with her again!”

“Rachel looked after my bunny for 4 days while I was out of state. She went above and beyond to update us and spend time with Oliver (my bunny). Rachel genuinely cares for animals and is super kind. I hope she’s available next time we need someone!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“Melissa was punctual and detail-oriented. She looked after Max and Kashimo for over a week with care and thoughtfulness. When we take another trip, Melissa will be our first choice.”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have owned a dog my entire life and have cared for my rabbit for over four years, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, patient, and caring looking after your pets while you are away. I recently graduated college and am currently searching for a full-time job, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am available most days for pet care and can work around your pet’s routine. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space. I follow their normal routine, give them attention, take them on walks, and always make sure they are secure before I leave.
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 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.
“Kathryn did a great job caring for 3 cats, two of which had to be sequestered from the older cat Ethan is on meds taken in her food. Kathryn was very good about visiting the 2 kitties and playing with them. She also took good care of the house!!”
“Zaynah is wonderful! Enzo loved her and really took to her, she did so well with him. She kept us updated and showed up on time every day. Will def be using Zaynah in the future and I recommend her 100%!!!”
“Heather is extremely dependable and excellent with my skittish cats. She braved a lot of ice and snow and an awkward parking situation to take care of them while I was gone. Awesome sitter - I highly recommend Heather to anyone with pets!”
“Jodie is absolutely amazing with my senior cat! She makes sure my cat is well loved and taken care of (and makes sure she gets her meds which is a challenge on its own). My cat loves her. I can’t say enough positive things about Jodie!”

“Lucie was absolutely wonderful with my dog! The photos and updates she sent showed just how happy and comfortable he was—his big smiles said it all. It’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again! Thank you so much!”
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!
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. I have a fenced yard and love spending time outdoors, giving dogs lots of fresh air and playtime. I am happy to stick to your pet’s schedule! As a photographer, I also love sending cute photo updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so pets get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long. Dogs enjoy regular walks in a safe, sidewalk-filled neighborhood along with playtime and a comfortable, relaxed home environment.
“Marta was terrific!! She sent us pictures throughout our puppy’s stay with her and even sent him home with some of her homemade treats. Definitely will be sending our puppy to her again in the future. 5/5 would 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.
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was a kid. Walking, feeding, bathing, and training have all been part of the routine for over 11 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets time and again, and that trust is something I take seriously. Whether your dog needs a calm and structured walk, a bath, or just good company while you’re away, I bring the same patience and attentiveness every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I have a lot of flexibility throughout the week, so I can work around most schedules. Whether you need someone on short notice, over a weekend, or during the week, I’m generally available and happy to accommodate what works best for you and your dog. Your dog will be in a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard where they can run and play freely. I have pets of my own, so your dog will have friendly company and will be comfortable in an environment that’s already used to animals. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual temperament and make sure every pet in my care feels secure and at ease.
“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: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and my commitment to their well-being. I understand that each dog has unique needs and preferences, and I strive to create a personalized and comfortable experience for every furry friend in my care. With extensive knowledge about dog behavior and handling, I can ensure a safe and engaging environment during walks, playtime, and social interactions. Additionally, I am attentive to any medical or dietary requirements, providing meticulous care and timely administration of medications if needed. My reliable and responsible nature, coupled with excellent communication skills, allows me to maintain open and transparent communication with pet owners, keeping them updated with regular photos and updates. Ultimately, my dedication, expertise, and love for dogs make me a standout choice for dog sitting, ensuring that every pup receives the utmost care, attention, and affection they deserve. 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.
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.
“Alison was amazing! She was so quick to respond! She has a lovely fenced in yard and her pup is so friendly. That made me happy knowing my fur baby also had another fur baby to play with all day. Alison sent me videos a pictures throughout the day which made me so happy. I will definitely be using her again to watch my fur baby!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
About: I’ve owned dogs of all sizes and cats my entire life! I’ve grown up in a big animal lover home so I love to occasionally foster, volunteering at shelters and pet sitting! I have decades of experience with animals - dogs, cats and reptiles! I’m comfortable teaching new commands, and grooming if requested! My cat and dog are both good with other dogs and cats so they will love the company! I currently work from home full time so expect lots of cuddles, walks throughout the day and trips to the parks on weekends! I’m currently working at home full time with a flexible schedule so I’m able to fit in feeding times, walks throughout the day and plenty of cuddles! I have a dog and cat of my own so a furbaby’s needs are already part of my everyday life! I have a shaded fenced yard and an entire home for your furbaby to explore! I have a very friendly dog and cat (both small) that love new friends and will keep your furbaby company with playtime! We will fit in several walks in a day in my very quiet and green neighborhood, plus so park time on the weekends if allowed! I have a very comfortable spacious crate if it is preferred for continued training and my own toys and blankets which I have cleaned regularly !
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.
“Let me just say Diana is awesome!!! She’s very responsive and took great care of our Ms Kenzie for 9 days . She provided updates and pictures throughout Kenzie’s stay and treated her like family. Our puppy decided to get in heat on day 2 or 3 but Diana handled it like the pro she is as we were concerned that it occurred while we were away. Diana had extra diapers and made sure she was comfortable. We were very appreciative of Diana’s attentiveness, love and care of our pooch and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Diana! Thank you so much Diana!!!!”

“My pittie loves Lucie. He looks forward to their daily walks. Lucie has been such a godsend walking him daily as I cannot walk him right now due to my health. She is punctual, friendly, observant and very flexible. We really enjoy having her as our pet walker.”
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.
About: I’m currently a college student at St. Mary’s College of Maryland but I’ve always had a dog growing up. Additionally I’ve also had hamsters and fish. I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family since I was a teenager. I’ve also used my art background to draw pet portraits for various people! So, I am very comfortable being with dogs of all sizes. Walking them, feeding them, crate/potty training, and of course playing with them! Further more, I’ve worked as a kids art camp counselor for many summers through Abrakadoodle art camps. And while no dogs were on premises (most of the time) I was in charge of keeping kids safe and engaged. I fully understand that animals are family and deserve someone trustworthy to look after them. In the summer I have an internship at the Maryland Anxiety Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays that I will leave early in the morning for and not get back until after 2pm Otherwise I am fully free Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As my only other obligation is an online class! If housesitting is needed I would make absolute sure that nothing gets disrupted and that your pets are on track with their daily routines. I’ve housesat for neighbors before and I understand that an extra level of care is required for the animals overnight. Whether that means making sure they’ve gotten excessive for the day or whether they’ve been given a treat before bed.
“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 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 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.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and being a proud dog owner myself, I’m dedicated to providing loving, reliable, and attentive care for every pet. From daily walks and playtime to personalized attention and specialized care, my goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and comfortable. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide dependable care while giving pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, feeding, play sessions, or companionship, I enjoy creating a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. When caring for dogs in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, comfort, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine. I begin by learning about their schedule, preferences, and specific needs to ensure personalized care. I provide regular exercise, enrichment, affection, and follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully. Throughout each stay, I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always feel connected and reassured. Now that it is summer I am free mostly all of the time! I have a few vacations, and possibly other things that may come up but I will always make sure my schedule is clear! At home I let my dogs out every 2-3 hours, I feed them at the same time everyday, and make sure they have plenty of exercise! I really enjoy playing with my dogs at home as well, weather thats running around out back, playing tug-of-war, or even just going on a walk! Overall my favorite time of day with my dogs at home is bed time, my puppies sleep with me every night!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was a kid. Walking, feeding, bathing, and training have all been part of the routine for over 11 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets time and again, and that trust is something I take seriously. Whether your dog needs a calm and structured walk, a bath, or just good company while you’re away, I bring the same patience and attentiveness every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I have a lot of flexibility throughout the week, so I can work around most schedules. Whether you need someone on short notice, over a weekend, or during the week, I’m generally available and happy to accommodate what works best for you and your dog. Your dog will be in a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard where they can run and play freely. I have pets of my own, so your dog will have friendly company and will be comfortable in an environment that’s already used to animals. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual temperament and make sure every pet in my care feels secure and at ease.
“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: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have owned a dog my entire life and have cared for my rabbit for over four years, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, patient, and caring looking after your pets while you are away. I recently graduated college and am currently searching for a full-time job, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am available most days for pet care and can work around your pet’s routine. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space. I follow their normal routine, give them attention, take them on walks, and always make sure they are secure before I leave.
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. I have a fenced yard and love spending time outdoors, giving dogs lots of fresh air and playtime. I am happy to stick to your pet’s schedule! As a photographer, I also love sending cute photo updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so pets get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long. Dogs enjoy regular walks in a safe, sidewalk-filled neighborhood along with playtime and a comfortable, relaxed home environment.
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.
“Miranda was so professional, sweet, and took my pup on nice active walks every day while I was away. I highly recommend her. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks again!”
About: I’m a college student and dog lover with hands on experience caring for my own dog, Sasha. Taking care of her has taught me the importance of daily exercise, patience, consistency, and paying attention to a dog’s needs. I’m reliable, active, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during walks and visits. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule over the summer and am available most weekdays and some weekends for dog walking and pet care. I’m able to do morning, afternoon, and early evening walks depending on the day. I’m reliable and will always stick to scheduled times, and I can be flexible with advance notice for recurring walks or one time bookings. I prioritize safety, trust, and following each owner’s instructions carefully. I make sure pets are secure on walks, stay aware of surroundings, and are comfortable at all times. I treat every pet with patience and care, and I provide updates so owners know their dog is safe and doing well.
About: I had a large family dog (120 lbs) for 12 years. He loved to bark so I’m used to dogs who might need that extra bit of attention during the day. I can help with any pills that need to be taken, special food, and practice any training your dog might be working on. While I’ve never been a dog walker as a job I’ve made many fur friends over the years and am excited to meet yours! I’m available to be a regular walker for your dog every day! I’m currently between jobs after a layoff so I’m eager to spend time with your doggies. I’m comfortable with large dogs. I can walk your dog around the neighborhood with ease as I had a large shepherd-lab mix from puppyhood to his tragic passing from cancer at 12 years old. I know how hot the pavement is so if your dog doesn’t have boots, I’ll try to keep them in either your yard or in the grass. Please be sure to let me know if your dog is reactive and any commands you use. We will run through the commands before the first walk.

“Yukia was awesome! My dog left her house very happy. She took him on walks and he got to play with other dogs. She also worked with me and added an extra day when I realized I messed up the schedule. I highly recommend Yukia.”
“Mady was wonderful! She welcomed Sydney in to her home and took her out for regular walks. She communicated regularly and showed great care and concern when Sydney happened to get a bee sting while outside. We plan on boarding her with Mady again!”
“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.”
“Carlie and her family could not have been more loving and attentive. Arlo probably wanted to live there forever. She was incredibly kind about a mistake I made on pick up time.”
“Kiki is the best! She is flexible, responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind. Finley clearly had a great time with her and Skittles, and I really appreciated the regular updates- it made me feel like he was safe, happy, and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“Dana was great with our 2 older but very active pitties. We're always a bit worried with a new sitter but she went above and beyond to make us (and them) feel comfortable and relaxed while we were gone. They loved being around her kids too which is a plus since they rarely get to play with kids anymore. We'll definitely use her again!”
“Bria was WONDERFUL! She sent constant updates and pictures and videos, and was so sweet to my baby! She took great care of him & whenever I need boarding, she will be my number one choice!”
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.
“Tiffany was awesome! She kept communication the whole time we were away. She even sent pictures daily. Tiffany showered my Bella with so much love and attention just as we would. I will definitely continue to pick Tiffany for Bella’s care for future needs. She’s perfect 🙂”
About: I have been taking care of pets for as long as i can remember! House sitting, dog walking, petsitting, and dropping in- I have experience doing it all! Having two dogs of my own (and a bunny), my life has always revolved around getting to know the personalities of the animals around me and learning how they like to be loved. I am comfortable around all dogs! I’m happy to spend time with your anxious pup or your ball of energy! I’m currently working part time, and am home from college for the summer. I’m studying psychology and neuroscience and so I have a passion for the well-being of your pups! The safety of your pets is my main concern! I will care for your pets with care and respect- while keeping you in the loop! My camera roll is full of photos of my favorite animals to play with!
“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!”
“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.”

“Absolutely astounding! My puppy had a wonderful time with Annette & her family, and got to practice a lot of training skills. She was super insightful and gave me so much great information. She was extremely thorough, patient, knowledgeable and by far has been the best experience I’ve had on Rover. Very thankful that she was available so last minute.”
“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!”

“I am absolutely and positively grateful that we found Alison and Brian (and Megatron!) Woof!!! Cash was loved like he belonged to their family; when he didn't eat his food (which happens anytime he's away from home) Alison reached our to me, and offered alternatives. Thank you so much for taking care of Cash and for your brave service to our country! Looking forward to having you look after our fur boy again soon :-) xoxoxo”
“Brittany and Shane were wonderful with Finch. They were attentive to her needs. They were quick to give me updates. Finch clearly enjoyed them, because I got pics of her snuggling in their laps. Would definitely book again.”
