“This is our first time using Rover for our dog Jacoby. We were so nervous about it because Jacoby is super timid and shy. Sarah made us so comfortable. She communicated with us daily on his progress with messages and pictures. She had him so comfortable by the end of the week he was sleeping with her! She is fabulous and we were so lucky to find her!”

“I have been using for a couple of times now. She is 💯 reliable and I can always count on her to giving loving far to my cat Rin. I wanted a sitter that can give lots of cuddles and love in addition to providing care ( cleaning litter, water etc). She is the person.”
“Tania was the absolute best! She was super communicative and took so many great pics of my cat. Felt very comfortable having her watch my cat while my husband and I were away for the weekend!!”
“Janis took wonderful care of our cat! She was caring and thoughtful, and our shy cat warmed up to her immediately. The daily photos and "progress reports" were appreciated very much. This was our first time using Rover, and Janis made it a perfect experience. Thank you!”
“Stephanie was very punctual, professional, and left detailed notes after every visit so I always had the peace of mind while out of town. She even let me know when the cats spilled some water from their bowl and tidied up the eating space! Thanks for going above and beyond - I certainly know who to trust with my cats in the future.”
“Very helpful and felt safe with her caring for my animals. She was so sweet in her review about all my cats! Felt nice to know they were appreciated for their unique personalities. Would recommend and use again.”
About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.
“Mariah has been a responsive and reliable sitter for my kitties. I can always be sure they'll be taken care of, mentally stimulated, and have a clean environment when she comes around. Thank you Mariah!”
“Dakota did a splendid job taking care of our Big Boy Bobby. We came back to a happy cat. Her communication was timely and crystal clear from the beginning. She is a reliable and kind hearted person, and we would trust her with the care of any of our critters in the future. Thanks, Dakota!”
“This is my first experience going away for vacation and using Rover. I had to find the BEST reviews in order to be okay with leaving my fur baby. Pamela had a million repeat clients and seemed to be so genuine and loving with animals (according to the reviews). So I crossed my fingers and scheduled our “meet and greet”. Pamela felt like one of the family, instantly! She wanted to know everything that my cat liked and didn’t like. She watched how we interacted with my cat and immediately had her purring and playing! My vacation was so RELAXING thanks to Pamela. She followed the notes I left her and went above and beyond with pictures and videos?. Needless to say, I’ve already booked another check-in with Pamela!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as walking and helping care for my neighbors’ dogs. Through this, I’ve learned how to safely walk dogs, follow feeding routines, give lots of attention, and recognize when a dog may need a break or extra care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and understand how important patience and consistency are for pets. I’m available after school on weekdays and I have more flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, punctual, and always communicate clearly about scheduling and updates. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow instructions carefully, keep pets on leash during walks, and make sure they’re always in a safe, calm environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and respect owners’ routines, rules, and preferences.
“Thank you for taking care of Birdie. I was so excited she greeted you and you were able to visit during your drop in. I wasn’t sure what to expect as we never left her before…thank you for taking great care of her. It’s much appreciated.”
About: I’ve had many cats through all phases of my life, and they’re my favorite animal! My kitties are all old so I administer medicine daily, and keep them active everyday to help their bones and joints. Also a huge fan of kittens!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Emmorton
“Kathleen was wonderful! She was quick to respond and very flexible. Well equipped with puppy gates and pee pads just in case. My senior was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Kathleen.”
“Our golden retriever puppy, Loki had the BEST time in Tarina’s care! He was extremely comfortable there and was treated like part of the family. We are excited to have Tarina watch him again soon! :)”
“It was very easy to book the stay for our fur baby. Paris communicated with me from the start of my inquiry, throughout my booking, my pup's stay & after pick up. I don't leave my baby with other people often but I felt at total ease leaving her with Paris. She has earned my trust and my future business. If you book with Paris, you and your fur baby with be super happy. Thank you so very much for taking great care of our girl!”
“This was my first time using a sitter and Angelene was great! I really enjoyed receiving the pictures of my dog Teddy throughout the day. I could tell he had a great time with Angelene and her family. I will definitely book Angelene again!”
“Tyler was great, our dog is 4 months old high energy pup who hasn’t met other dog yet. Tyler was comforted with his dogs being the first. He sent us a video of the dogs play and having a great time. We were nervous leaving him with someone for the first time but after meeting Tyler we were sure he was a perfect choice. We will definitely call on him again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of multiple kinds since I was 12. Mainly family animals but I would watch friends pets as well. I am currently a stay at home mom for the next 4-5 years, so I have more than enough free time on my hands at the moment. I have a huge fenced park right behind my apartments so they are able to play all day as needed. In addition to the park, I have a ton of space in my apartment and a friendly dog of my own who loves to play. I have a variety of dog/cat treats and toys!
About: What sets me apart is my six years of experience caring for my rescue dog, who is sensitive and shy. This has taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to create a calm environment tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I’m especially good at working with dogs that require extra reassurance and care. Working part-time from home allows me to keep a flexible routine for the pets I care for. I’m home most of the day, so I can follow their schedule closely — from walks and feeding times to playtime and rest — making sure they always feel safe and loved. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are always supervised, have access to fresh water, and enjoy a calm, pet-friendly environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times.
“Our Pup had a great time at Shanon's. He enjoyed the company of her older dogs. Her backyard is fenced, huge, and safe. Very good at communication, and we received updates with pictures. Shanon listened to us on our specific instructions and followed them. She always responded timely to our texts. Fed the pup on time and also arranged a cozy bed for him. We recommend her and would definitely book again when in the area.”
About: I have dog sat, dog walked, and cared for animals since I was in my teens! I have owned small dogs and big dogs and understand their different personalities and needs. I took animal science in school and foster so I am comfortable with different meds and cares. I currently have a flexible schedule as a home nurse who travels intermittently through the day! My schedule varies which makes it flexible. I also am free most weekends and evenings! My animals are well loved and cared for in their home. They are always made to feel safe and comfortable. I know how to respect boundaries and follow rules. I aim to please and only want the best for your furry children.
“Tania was very helpful and kind and patient with my fur baby. I really appreciate her. She is a great sitter. I would recommend her to everybody. I am glad I met her. look forward to using her in the future.”
About: I Own Two Cats, I Did Have a Dog When I Was Younger. His Name Was Jordan. He Was a Yorkie Mix.❤️ I Been Around Dogs Ever Since I Was a baby. I absolutely love them! If I Had My Own Hotel, It would probably be strictly for cats and dogs ! A spa and all. They Deserve To Treated With Respect and Love All Day Long. Dogs and Cats Are Special To Me Because They Depend On Us. There Cute Cuddle Faces. There Tail Wagging for Joy! I’m Available To Walk Your Dogs On Weekends As Well !!! Because I Know It hard getting up in the morning so why not have a little help in the morning ! I Know Not Everyone Is a Morning Person! But I Tend To Be! 😅
“Emma was so sweet with Puddin' - just the kind of energy that makes my nervous standard comfortable. She was also very flexible with me as I needed to drop off Puddin' way later than originally planned.”
“Sarah is great!!! One of our boys is nervous in new places and she say with him and made him feel very comfy. We felt likes the boys were in amazing hands and would recommend her to everyone!!!”
About: Certified Dog Trainer & Professional Pet Spoiler I’ve been caring for animals professionally for over 10 years—basically, I’m the Mary Poppins of pets (minus the umbrella, plus a lot more treats). I work remotely, which means I have plenty of time to shower your furry, feathery, or finned friends with attention while you’re away. I share my life with my own dog, Roux, who would need to join me for overnight house sitting—she’s well-mannered, charming, and believes she’s the CEO of the operation. Specialties include: • Raising & training puppies (basic commands, potty, & crate training) • Senior pet care • Dogs with anxiety • Administering medications • Cat care (yes, even the sassy ones) • Rodent care (mice, guinea pigs, bunnies—you name it) • Basic fish tank maintenance (I’ve never lost a guppy on my watch) I work remotely which gives me some flexibility to care for your pup. I prefer overnight stays at the clients home with the ability to come home to work during the day but may be able to bring my work to you. I care for my clients pets exactly the same as their owner and better! I love them like my own. An in home pet sitter is a great way to keep your pets routine so they are less stressed while you are away.
“Cali was amazing with Walter! It was his (and our) first time having an in home daycare provider and Cali could not have been better! Between the pictures and her reassuring nature, we feel so lucky that Walter got to stay with her! Thank you!”
“My puppy had the best time with Rachel and her kids. She come home happy and exhausted from playing all day. Thank you for giving her so much attention and sending so many pictures- we will definitely be back!”

“We love Emil! Our 1 year old lab Loretta was so excited to see him everyday for her walk. I loved the happy photos of her everyday and so thankful for Emil taking such good care of her.”
“Mariah has walked my puppy 5 times and is terrific with her. She spends extra time making sure she gets a lot of exercise, and sends pictures each time. I will continue to use her and recommend her highly!”
About: I have always had and been surrounded by dogs in my life. I love any breed of dog and enjoy being in company with them. I am home for the summer and going back to graduate school in the fall so my availability is pretty flexible! I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am able to work with you on days/ times! Feel free to reach out! I have two dogs at home who I love dearly! They both love to lay in my bed with me and go on walks. My younger pup (4 y/o) is like my shadow! My other dog is a senior (about 14 y/o) and has seen me grow up. I love them both and will love your dog like my own!
“Cassie took wonderful care of Bodhi for the week! She was communicative, attentive, knowledgeable on dog behavior (especially how to handle a loose dog approaching them and an encounter with a goat). She took the time to meet with me before I left to ensure her and Bodhi felt comfortable with each other and she knew the routine. She was adaptable to an emergency change and handled it all in stride. I would most certainly recommend Cassie to anyone needing care for their pet.”
About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for my whole life from Weimaraners, to Dobermans, and now to a Coonhound and two loving Great Pyrenees! I went to a technical highschool and graduated with a vet tech, and left with some experience in grooming! I also worked on a farm for those same four years! Absolutely adore all types of dogs! :] I am a full time student, back at home before moving, and am more then happy/excited to have to opportunity to hang out and walk with your pets! I will take care and watch over your pets as if they were my own. I can use all your products/leashes, and make sure your dog stays safe and happy. If you decide you want to board your pet in my home, while I do have other dogs in the household, the dogs would be sectioned off to a different part of the property unless you explicitly state that you’re okay with them being around each other! Your fur-baby would have full access to a big fenced in back yard, and if they like to swim we have a pool for them to enjoy in the warm weather.
About: I’ve always taken care of animals of my own since I was a very young age and for some neighbors of mine as well. I’ve watched dogs, cats and I have also had both in my own household so I know exactly what each pet needs! Since recently graduating, I currently am working around 35-40hrs weekly and my availability is from 6am-7:30pm. My schedule varies so please message me about times if you are interested! 3 weeks in advance is preferable if you need me to take off. Whatever you prefer with your pet I will happily do. I want to make sure your pet is happy as well as the pet’s owner!

About: Hi, I’m Kelly! I have 3 animals myself, 3 (very needy!) cats. I had a dog who’s recently passed, and I love all animals! I am experienced in old and young pets alike. My cat is 14 and requires daily medication which I have no problem with. Huge fan of the kittens and puppies as well!😊 Any and all pets I am happy to watch. I currently work hybrid, I recently graduated college and I am in a rotational tech program. The days I am hybrid vary, but for the most part I work from home in Bel Air Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On the weekends I am completely free!

Let me know the location and we can figure something out :)

About: I have taken care of dogs of every size and breed. I love dogs and I am a huge kid at heart when I see them in public. Although I have a large dog, pugs have always had my heart. We have tons of fish at our house as well, in a 50 gallon tank. Aside from dogs, I grew up with Maine coon cats. I am very familiar with this breed as well as the needs for most breeds. I had guinea pigs and geckos when I was a child. I am comfortable around farm animals since my grandparents owned a farm and my cousin is running it now. I’m up for anything so just send me a message if I seem like a good fit :) I currently work full time, Monday through Friday, from 7am-4pm. I will be on summer break starting June 22nd with a ton more availability. I can do early mornings, evenings, or overnight. My weekends are flexible. The more notice, the better. I offer services in your home. Whatever your routines and needs are, I am very detailed in my notes and what I can provide. I am trustworthy and dependable, organized and thoughtful.
“Jenn is awesome with our dog Roxy. She is truly a dog lover and it shows. She brought her dog to walk with our dog because our dog is a lil skittish, and it worked! Would absolutely highly recommend her. She also was available last minute for us.”
About: I’ve grown up around and been taking care of dogs since I was born! I love all dogs, especially goldens and bully breeds. I have experience cat sitting for family friends as well, and would be happy to provide your babies with the best care I’m currently working a part time job at a concert venue, so I have plenty of day time availability to take care of your pets. I typically have 1-3 shifts a week and a flexible schedule! I’m experienced with dogs from puppies to seniors. I can administer medications or just provide overall attention and play time. I’m a great communicator and attentive to detail, and strive to make sure your animals are receiving the best care they need. I’m also just a huge animal person excited to give your babies some love while you’re away.
About: Hello, I'm Cori! I currently work as a manager at a preschool, looking for some part-time work. I'm a very active person so I wouldn't mind talking them out for a walk or the backyard to play! I have a very flexible schedule so I can visit your pets multiple times a day if needed. As for my experience, I had dogs and cats while I was growing up and I helped family and friends with dog sitting when needed. I hope you consider me for the position and I look forward to hearing from you. I have open and flexible schedule throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can help same day or plan for days in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities.
