“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of our boy Max. He requires extra attention due to his separation anxiety. You treated him like he was your own, allowing him to be a lap dog as big as he is. He loves to be next to people. You provided us with pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip, knowing he was being well taken care of. Elizabeth, you went out of your way to help us stay calm when our flight was significantly delayed. We will definitely use your services again.”
“Lori was amazing! Plenty of communication while Jake was there! Multiple pictures and videos daily! Jake was well cared for and got plenty of exercise! Will definitely be booking Jake with Lori for all our future travel!”
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
“My dogs had a great stay! Denise even got my picky dog to eat from a dish. I have a very hard time with. Her eating. The pictures of my dogs relaxing with the family gave me peace of mind so that I could enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend Denise.”
“Kiwi loves going to Auntie Kelly and Uncle Maurice’s house! She is always receiving love and lots of play time with Dallas, Meeko and the kids. I can’t say Auntie Kelly’s name at home without her getting excited. Truly a gift to have found this family for our pet care needs.”
“Lindsay took such great care of my pup, Marley, over the holidays! She went above and beyond getting Marley a toy (her new favorite) for Christmas, making adorable ornaments, replacing a sweater that got damaged, and sending daily picture and video updates. In every photo, Marley looked so happy and well entertained, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was truly loved and treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”
“Bianca was attentive and skilled with our beloved Ali who can be a handful with his rambunctiousness. We had a family function to attend in another city and unexpectedly needed a sitter. Bianca was quick and reliable upon request. In addition, Bianca kept us updated on Ali’s stay which he appeared not to miss us with all the love and affection doted on him during his stay. If I ever in the future need a sitter or even just a walker for any event, I would trust Bianca more than my family for the care Ali. I wholeheartedly recommend her fully for the care and wellbeing of your pet.”
“Sent us pictures of our pup everyday and gave updates. Our pupper had a friend all week to play with and came back happy! Great family to have take care of your dog!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Stephanie! She took amazing care of our dog, Oliver, while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in great hands. She sent regular updates, including adorable photos and videos, which made us feel connected even from miles away. Beyond providing excellent care, Stephanie truly bonded with Oliver and made sure he got plenty of playtime, snuggles, and attention. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again 😊”
“I cannot express enough gratitude towards La Tasha for her exceptional puppy sitting services for my beloved Ace. From the moment I handed over Ace to her, La Tasha went above and beyond to alleviate all my stress and worries. Her consistent updates, filled with adorable pics and videos of Ace, were not just reassuring but a testament to her dedication and care. Throughout the day, her messages kept me informed about Ace's well-being, which was incredibly comforting, especially since I was concerned about his eating and sleeping habits in my absence. La Tasha didn't just look after Ace; she treated him with the same love and attention as if he were her own, which speaks volumes about her character and passion for animals. I am immensely grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and the peace of mind she provided me. Without a doubt, I will be turning to La Tasha's services again in the future. A heartfelt thank you, La Tasha, for everything.”
“Denise was absolutely fantastic. Our dog Winnie had a blast with her doggo. Denise was very responsive to any messages, sent daily pictures, and overall was great. Will definitely use her again for boarding as we travel!”
“Aleah is absolutely amazing. I expressed how nervous i was leaving my fur baby and she instantly eased my nerves. I can really tell she cared for my pet. She sent me pictures keeping me updated during his whole stay. I will 100% be booking with her again & i recommend anyone looking for a sitter to chose her!”
“This was my first time using rover. My puppy Baxter is only 12 weeks old and I was super nervous about leaving him with someone who is not family. I messaged Jen and she got back to me immediately. She was very receptive of his schedule and needs. Puppy’s are a lot of work and she has done amazing with him. I get frequent pictures and updates. She has taken him on walks, and she makes sure he is well exercised. She really does love and care for him like he is her own! I would recommend Jen to anyone who is Leary about dropping their pets off with someone they have never met before. I am so thankful to be able to leave him with confidence. If I ever need to have a pet sitter in the future it will be Jen!”
“Anika was an amazing care giver for my fur baby. She sent daily videos and pictures which alleviated my anxiety. Since my fur baby was only 16 weeks old, Anika was really patient with him because he is not fully house trained. I will definitely be using her services again and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter.”
“Brittany and her family were fantastic! Mocha and Luna had an absolute blast, and we could tell for days after that they had plenty of play time. Will use again in future if available!”
“Monica took such good care of Harlow. At the beginning it was a bit rough because Harlow has never stayed with anyone else. However; once she met the other dogs she had a ball. I would def use and recommend Monica again. She def cares for your pups while you’re away.”

“Lindsay was great with our two cats when we went out of town for Thanksgiving. She took tons of photos and the cats really seemed to like her. We would definitely book her again if we ever needed someone! 😊”
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life, I’ve had them for as long as I can remember and currently care for five of my own. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all types of feline personalities, from social and playful to shy, independent, or anxious. I understand that cats need a different kind of care than dogs. I pay close attention to their body language, respect their boundaries, and let them warm up at their own pace. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime/enrichment, and making sure their environment stays clean and low-stress. I’m also used to multi-cat households, so I understand dynamics like separate feeding, monitoring behavior changes, and making sure each cat feels safe and comfortable. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers space, I’ll meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel secure while you’re away.
“Stephanie was perfect for our kitty. She provided all the care and attention angel needed and we got cute pictures and updates each day. We could not be more pleased and will be asking Stephanie to come back next vacation.”
“There’s nothing like traveling and worrying the entire time! I was hesitant to use this app and I wasn’t having any luck finding a sitter…until I came across Emily! She kept me informed everyday! My fur babies were in such a better mood when I came home. They are usually boarded and that was not the best environment for them. It would take them days to resettle in at home. Thanks to Emily they were very well cared for! I will rebook for sure!!!!”
“Kendal was very prompt and made sure to give my animals plenty of attention. She also communicated with me of there were any issues. Highly recommend and will be requesting her services in the future.”
“Took great care of the cats, including one very high maintenance 18+ kitty who frequently has litter box issues and has daily meds. Jessie C. kept the box (and the cat’s accidents) cleaned up and cats well looked after.”
“Faith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogs—even administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We weren’t sure how many drop-ins we’d need or how long we’d be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for 3 years, used to watch my neighbors, I enjoy doing things your pet loves and enjoys whenever needed. I work part time as a Vet Tech at Calvert Animal Hospital, looking to make a little extra money and I can come when you need me to, I get off usually around 7. Although my pet is not as friendly with others, I can easily separate the two while still tending to both. I will let you know if there is ever a problem but I’m sure there won’t be.
About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years…or really, my whole life! From dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even fish, I’ve shared my life with animals of all kinds. I currently live with four cats who have taught me even more about patience, play, and intuitive communication. I’ve also helped friends with pet care, walked dogs of all sizes, and provided loving attention to pets while their humans were away. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I feel deeply connected to them. I believe in meeting each animal where they are, tuning into their energy, and ensuring they feel safe, seen, and nurtured.

I can provide pickup and drop off service. Cost is based on distance. Feel free to send me questions. Free meet and great upon request, and I can bring Latte and Brown for introductions.
About: I have always loved having an animal in my home. Ever since I was a kid I remember always having an animal. I grew up having at least one dog, eventually got 2 cats. My dog princess passed, but my dog Emoji is a big ball of energy. I have LOVED having an animal. I would love to start out with dog walking, I have been trying to become more active myself and I love getting a good walk in. I have a full time job, but I get off pretty early just in time for an evening walk! I would take them on walks, feed and give them water each day, play with them outside, and give them a treat at the end of the day if they were being good.
“We had a wonderful experience with Jake, who stopped by twice to care for our three cats and did an amazing job! Communication was excellent throughout, and he was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about our cats’ well-being. We would absolutely trust Jake again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and trustworthy pet care.”
About: I have grown up around cats my whole life. I grew up around many different kinds of cats and I helped a couple of them give birth throughout my teenage years! I chose to adopt the cat in my profile picture once I turned 18 and she became my whole world. I would love to help a family out with their precious babies!

“Laura did a great job with Beau- we did our first doggy day care with her. She has 3 other dogs of her own- I think Beau enjoyed playing with some (all?) of them. She sent pictures and was very responsive and flexible with timing. I appreciated it!”

About: I’ve been taking care of a wide variety of pets since I was physically able to. I grew up in a household where taking care of animals was part of our everyday lives. My mom has worked in the animal field all her life and I followed in her footsteps until I had my first son 3 years ago and am now a stay at home mom. I started as a receptionist at my local animal hospital, moved on to a technician, and spent 4 years as a kennel supervisor until I moved on to emergency animal care. I understand whole heartedly that animals are more than just pets, they are family and will be treated as such when they are in my care. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.
About: I am a stay at home mom to 2 girls, ages 4 and 5 and we recently moved to the area! My husband is in the Navy. We live in a townhouse in North Beach, MD.

I hate when I have to be away from mine so I would give them tons of love so they feel comfortable and at home while you are away. I am available for all needs except for pet sitting in your home, since I have kiddos that need me at my home. Please let me know if I can help you out in any way! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. I am with my girls a lot this summer but they would LOVE to accompany me on visits with your pet! I will have a lot more independent time this fall once they start school. We do not have a fenced in yard but I would be happy to do as many walks as needed for your pup! Our cat can be weary with new animals but he hides and then warms up quickly.

About: As a child I've grown up with multiple animals as animals as pets, including a few dogs and a few cats. Professionally, I've had four total years taking care of different animals, which includes supervising dogs as well as helping various animals such as cats, guinea pigs, and other animals get adopted.

If something happens where I can't take care of your animal(s) (such as an emergency), I'll try to let you know ahead of time. I'll always keep your animals supervised regardless of whatever service I'm doing at the time. If your animal takes medications, I'll administer them at the correct times.
About: I am a lover of all animals and always have been. I had a dog growing up and currently have a spoiled dog named Snickers. I used to help a friend groom dogs also. I am currently between jobs so I am available and want to keep myself active during this down time. I have a dog of my own but I figured spending more time outdoors and with animals will be beneficial to my mental health. I walk my dog multiple times a day around our neighborhood. We often go to the beach where he loves to explore. Occasionally, we will go to the dog park. I have house-sat for other dogs in their homes, and when we aren't outside playing, I will cuddle on the couch and watch movies with the animals and give them lots of pets.
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. We had various breeds ranging in size from small to medium. I chose to foster and adopt large breeds once I became an adult.

I’m currently a CNA looking to transition into the military so I have a pretty open schedule until the process is over and would be willing to work hours into my schedule if needed! I follow whatever the pet parents rules are for their space and understand that everyone is different with how they want their babies cared for! I am a clean person myself and would always clean up any messes that are made throughout my time in your home!

I am available for all needs except for pet sitting in your home, since I have kiddos that need me at my home. Please let me know if I can help you out in any way! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. I am with my girls a lot this summer but they would LOVE to accompany me on visits with your pet! I will have a lot more independent time this fall once they start school. We do not have a fenced in yard but I would be happy to do as many walks as needed for your pup! Our cat can be weary with new animals but he hides and then warms up quickly.
About: Hi, I’m Kim and I have had the joy of caring for a variety of furry friends as an experienced pet sitter. A lot of my work has been with rescued dogs and I understand the unique needs of pups that require a calm and reassuring atmosphere. I have a gentle approach and take the time to listen to the pet’s cues. Whether it is a gentle belly rub, a quiet walk, playtime, or caring for special needs; I will provide kindness and care for your beloved pet. My schedule can be flexible, and l am committed to providing reliable care. Let’s discuss your pet’s needs, and we’ll create a tailored plan together. Your pet’s safety and well being are my top priorities. I provide structured, attentive care with clear communication and consistent updates. I follow all instructions precisely - feeding, medications, training cues, and routines - so your pet stays comfortable and confident while you’re away. I always take a calm, patient approach. You can trust that your home and your pet will be treated with respect, responsibility, and genuine care.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for 3 years, used to watch my neighbors, I enjoy doing things your pet loves and enjoys whenever needed. I work part time as a Vet Tech at Calvert Animal Hospital, looking to make a little extra money and I can come when you need me to, I get off usually around 7. Although my pet is not as friendly with others, I can easily separate the two while still tending to both. I will let you know if there is ever a problem but I’m sure there won’t be.
“Gabby has been wonderful for my dogs and such a big help to me. One of my pups can be quite a handful and is very high energy and she has been great with him. She is very reliable and sends me the sweetest pictures of my boys when she’s with them. So glad I found her!”

“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of our boy Max. He requires extra attention due to his separation anxiety. You treated him like he was your own, allowing him to be a lap dog as big as he is. He loves to be next to people. You provided us with pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip, knowing he was being well taken care of. Elizabeth, you went out of your way to help us stay calm when our flight was significantly delayed. We will definitely use your services again.”
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
“My dogs had a great stay! Denise even got my picky dog to eat from a dish. I have a very hard time with. Her eating. The pictures of my dogs relaxing with the family gave me peace of mind so that I could enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend Denise.”
“Lindsay took such great care of my pup, Marley, over the holidays! She went above and beyond getting Marley a toy (her new favorite) for Christmas, making adorable ornaments, replacing a sweater that got damaged, and sending daily picture and video updates. In every photo, Marley looked so happy and well entertained, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was truly loved and treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”
“Bianca was attentive and skilled with our beloved Ali who can be a handful with his rambunctiousness. We had a family function to attend in another city and unexpectedly needed a sitter. Bianca was quick and reliable upon request. In addition, Bianca kept us updated on Ali’s stay which he appeared not to miss us with all the love and affection doted on him during his stay. If I ever in the future need a sitter or even just a walker for any event, I would trust Bianca more than my family for the care Ali. I wholeheartedly recommend her fully for the care and wellbeing of your pet.”
“Sent us pictures of our pup everyday and gave updates. Our pupper had a friend all week to play with and came back happy! Great family to have take care of your dog!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Stephanie! She took amazing care of our dog, Oliver, while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in great hands. She sent regular updates, including adorable photos and videos, which made us feel connected even from miles away. Beyond providing excellent care, Stephanie truly bonded with Oliver and made sure he got plenty of playtime, snuggles, and attention. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again 😊”
“Denise was absolutely fantastic. Our dog Winnie had a blast with her doggo. Denise was very responsive to any messages, sent daily pictures, and overall was great. Will definitely use her again for boarding as we travel!”
“Aleah is absolutely amazing. I expressed how nervous i was leaving my fur baby and she instantly eased my nerves. I can really tell she cared for my pet. She sent me pictures keeping me updated during his whole stay. I will 100% be booking with her again & i recommend anyone looking for a sitter to chose her!”
“This was my first time using rover. My puppy Baxter is only 12 weeks old and I was super nervous about leaving him with someone who is not family. I messaged Jen and she got back to me immediately. She was very receptive of his schedule and needs. Puppy’s are a lot of work and she has done amazing with him. I get frequent pictures and updates. She has taken him on walks, and she makes sure he is well exercised. She really does love and care for him like he is her own! I would recommend Jen to anyone who is Leary about dropping their pets off with someone they have never met before. I am so thankful to be able to leave him with confidence. If I ever need to have a pet sitter in the future it will be Jen!”
“Brittany and her family were fantastic! Mocha and Luna had an absolute blast, and we could tell for days after that they had plenty of play time. Will use again in future if available!”
“Mady was so kind and caring. She treated our Cooper with such love. We received many pictures and updates. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to use her again. She is a top pick.”
“Kerry and her family treat our dog like absolute royalty!! He’s welcomed and cared for as if he were their own. We always pick him up happy and clearly spoiled with love. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“I love love LOVE having CiCi care for my fur baby Charli! She stayed four nights without her baby shadow, my other spoiled pooch, and she enjoyed outdoor play, made new friends, and even got a manicure and pedicure! I always feel confident leaving my dogs in her care because she cares for them as if they are her own. I recommended her recently to my neighbor for her puppy and she is also pleased with the care she received. We will continue to use her for our extended stay needs for sure!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
