“Leia was living her best life like she was at a pet resort. Marliez treated Leia like her own with great care and attention, making her feel right at home. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind! I’d definitely rebook with Marliez. Leia has 3 new friends and thinks she’s the boss of cats now!!”
“What an amazing experience for my dogs! From the moment I first spoke to Theresa to the moment we picked our dogs up, I knew this was an exceptional experience. Theresa goes above and beyond to make your pet feel comfortable while they are away from home. She customized their feeding, treats, and even their lounge time. It’s so hard to know if someone will love your pet like you do, and no question Theresa does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter while they are away!”
“Danielle has done a wonderful job of caring for my dog, Hazel. She was very flexible with my schedule changing last minute, and that made things much easier for me.

We will definitely use Katelyn again and highly recommend her!”
“April was the BEST! She was super accommodating and sweet with Yani. Sent pictures and regular updates. She was thorough with Yani’s care and super responsive.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, currently I only have one dog for the first time. I will treat your dog like a part of the family. Please let me know if there’s any special treatment that needs done. I do have a toddler home with me as well so I request that the dog is child friendly! I work from home so your dog will get potty breaks whenever they need it. I have a fully fenced in yard for your pup to run around and play. Your dog will be allowed on couches/beds, wherever they are comfortable. I have dog beds and have baby gates set up so they can have areas of peace if they need. I do have a toddler at home who loves dogs but will maintain space if needed. I also have a husky mix who generally just minds her own business.
“I defenitly recommend Joyce! I got into a car accident right in front of her house while dropping off Mona. She made sure Mona was ok and kept me updated on how she was doing. She also helped me and let me into her home until my friend came to help me. My dog also loves going to stay with her.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of booking Mrs. Joyce through the Rover app for a full week while we were out of town, and she completely exceeded our expectations! From the very first day, she checked in consistently, sent us thoughtful updates, and shared the most adorable photos of our beloved fur baby, Cato. It was clear from every message that she genuinely loves what she does and cares deeply for the pets she looks after. Knowing Cato was in such loving and attentive hands gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Her daily reports made us feel connected and reassured, and Cato looked so calm and content in every photo....which says everything about the kind of environment she creates. Mrs. Joyce is truly a gem, and we’re so grateful to have found her. She’ll be our go-to sitter from here on out, no question. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Went above and beyond our expectations of caring for our 6 cats while out of town for a weekend. I would definitely recommend using her and will be rebooking with her again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our fur babies while we were away!”
About: Ever since I was a young girl, I had a love for all animals. I have always owned dogs and cats. My friends and neighbors call on me to care for there animals if they needed a bath or help taking them on walks. I would also stay at their homes and care for the animals if they went out of town. Not only dogs and cats but sugar gliders too! I am currently working from home part time. This allows me to be very flexible. I am available with short notice. I can come to your home or have your fur baby at mine. (As long as they get along with others!) I have 2 dogs of my own! I am able to have dogs in my home and I can snuggle kitties in their own home. My home is cozy and I have lots of extra blankets. You are more than welcome to bring anything to make your fur baby comfortable. I have leads outside and walks at your request.
About: I have fostered animals for as long as i can remember. I currently have 13 animals at home and have owned many throughout life! My all time best friend is my cat princess Ellie who is the queen ofcourse. I have bottle fed kittens and loved them as they grew older. I have worked at volunteer events for animal shelters and am a dog nanny to my mom’s best friend. I often animal sit for all my friends and family and i love it!
About: I’ve been caring for and loving cats since I was 18. I started by taking care of a small group of feral cats living in my shed. Over time, that colony grew, and I naturally became more involved in their care—eventually socializing kittens, helping them adjust to human contact, and bringing several into my home when needed. Since then, cats have been a consistent and important part of my life. At various points, I’ve cared for up to four cats at once in my own home, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple personalities, routines, and needs at the same time. I understand how different each cat can be—some are social and playful, others are shy or independent—and I always adjust my approach to match their temperament and comfort level. I currently have two cats of my own, so I’m actively experienced in day-to-day cat care, including feeding routines, litter box maintenance, enrichment, play, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have frequently looked after friends’ cats while they were away, making sure they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I genuinely enjoy building trust with cats at their own pace and making sure they feel secure, whether they are outgoing or more reserved. My goal is always to provide attentive, reliable care so pet parents can feel completely at ease while they’re away.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how genuinely passionate I am about animals. I’ve grown up around pets my whole life owned and taken care of my own 3 cats since i was 8 .I’m very responsible and detail-oriented, and I always make sure to follow any specific instructions exactly. I also love spending time playing with pets and making sure they feel happy and safe while their owners are away. I think my positive energy and real love for animals really comes through when I’m pet sitting.
About: I’ve been so lucky to have so many pets throughout my life — dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, a full on aquarium. I’ve always been the go-to for pet sitting, whether it was through nannying, house-sitting, or being the friend who actually likes doing it. Right now I’ve got two dogs with wildly different personalities, and I live in Baltimore and own land in Tennessee where I’m slowly building my dream of a small farm, where soon I'll have grass puppies and honky donkeys. You probably have already seen me on the street asking CAN I PET YOUR DOG? I currently have very open availability! I feel like visiting the pets for a short visit a couple of times a day makes me sad, especially if they are missing their parents, they deserve stimulation so I try my best to follow an exciting version of your routine and leave them energetically satisfied. Due to my dogs and their high energy and vast personalities, I'm not currently boarding pets, but lead the way of your home, and Ill follow.

It’s clear he genuinely loves my dog, and that kind of care and attention means a lot to me. He also has his own dog, so mine gets a built-in playmate and comes home happy and well-exercised every time. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is not just being watched, but truly cared for and enjoying the experience. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, Welcome!! As a dedicated animal lover, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I provide responsible, loving care so pet owners can feel confident that their furry family members are in good hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply giving them comfort and attention, I make sure every pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I currently work Full time , Monday-Thursday. I am off Friday-Sunday every week. I am however, happy to make accommodation as needed, communication is key and I’m happy to help to the best of my ability!

About: I have my whole life’s worth of experience with animals that come from loving, traumatic, or no households at all and it has changed my life! I have fostered all ages of animals since i was a very little girl and proceeded to go to every adoption event i was able to. I am now a college student at Towson University and balance that with sitting some of my favorite furry friends! I have bottle fed both kittens and puppies many times and own 13 pets of my own! I am a dog nanny to my moms best friend and have always been the one to call to animal sit for all my friends and family. I love all animals more than anything! I start my day by heading over to check on my friends dogs while she is at work. I am a dance teacher during the school year on tuesdays and thursdays. I am also a student at Towson University. Between these things i am able to balance things in between activities! I provide the standard things such as making sure their bowls are filled for all meals, always having water and as much potty breaks as needed. I love to reward pets with their favorite treat after using the bathroom and then all of the pets and playtime after. Keeping calm music on or noise for the animal i find to be helpful in creating a stress free environment for them.

About: Having cared for dogs and cats for about eight years, I've become quite skilled at pet sitting. My experience has taught me how to cater to each animal's unique needs, whether it's a high-energy pup needing lots of playtime or a timid cat requiring gentle reassurance. I pride myself on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for every pet under my care, ensuring their owners can relax knowing their furry friends are in good hands. My day is structured to ensure that every pet's needs are met without disrupting my other responsibilities. Early mornings start with brisk walks to energize the dogs, followed by carefully measured meals for both dogs and cats. Playtime is a must, involving interactive games that stimulate their minds and bodies.In the evenings, I dedicate time for more leisurely walks, allowing the pets to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. This is followed by cuddle sessions on the couch, providing the affection and security they crave. I also make sure to clean litter boxes, groom them, and ensure they have fresh water throughout the day. Balancing these activities with my personal schedule ensures a harmonious and caring environment for every pet. Whether caring for pets in my home or at a client's residence, my approach is always tailored to the animal's comfort and well-being. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, loving environment with plenty of space to play and relax. When visiting clients' homes, I meticulously follow their routines and preferences, ensuring minimal disruption for the pets. My services include feeding, walking, administering medication, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I'm also skilled in recognizing signs of distress or illness, providing peace of mind for pet owners while they're away.
About: I have lifelong experience with animals. I grew up on a farm caring for cows and chickens, and I have pets of my own, so responsibility and consistency are second nature to me. I’m patient and attentive with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who may need extra care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and carefully following detailed care instructions. I pay close attention to routines and behavior, and I treat every pet like family while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I currently work full-time, but I have flexibility in my schedule on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am available Tuesdays and W3dnesday starting at 3:30pm. I am also very flexible and available most Saturdays and Sundays. I do my best to accommodate pet parents’ needs and am happy to discuss scheduling options to find a time that works for everyone. I treat every pet like my own, follow routines carefully, respect your home, and prioritize safety so you can feel confident while you're away.

I will treat your furry best friend with love and compassion. Every dog should feel like a valued member of the family ! I hope to meet you and your furry companion soon ! Don’t forget .. extended stays, one day drop ins, sitting, walks.. I’m here for it all. I work from home so I am able to be available with a short ahead of time notice! I would love to help when you need it most! I understand that leaving your pet with someone takes a lot of trust and typically some worry. I am experienced with all different pet personalities from the runner to the escape artist to the calm and collected. I will care for your pets exactly as you do ; following schedules as best as I can and conforming to routines such as crate, feeding, and outside times.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and it’s still one of my greatest joys. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to two pups: Roxy, my 16-year-old toy poodle with a sweet but sassy senior personality, and Pickles, our affectionate long-haired Chihuahua mix who loves everyone—dogs and people alike! Over the years, I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs with different temperaments and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and giving each dog the attention they deserve. I love going on walks and always enjoy bringing the dogs along for fresh air and exercise. My family enjoys having a house full of furry friends. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like part of the family in our home. I work from home, so when I board dogs, I am available to them all day and night. I also have my summers off, so I can make even more time for the dogs I walk or board in the summer months. In my home, safety and comfort are top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, and I’ve set up gated areas inside to provide quiet or separate spaces if a dog needs downtime. I have two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups, and my two children are gentle and respectful with animals—they love helping give our furry guests lots of attention and affection. I always take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet space, I’m here to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, currently I only have one dog for the first time. I will treat your dog like a part of the family. Please let me know if there’s any special treatment that needs done. I do have a toddler home with me as well so I request that the dog is child friendly! I work from home so your dog will get potty breaks whenever they need it. I have a fully fenced in yard for your pup to run around and play. Your dog will be allowed on couches/beds, wherever they are comfortable. I have dog beds and have baby gates set up so they can have areas of peace if they need. I do have a toddler at home who loves dogs but will maintain space if needed. I also have a husky mix who generally just minds her own business.
“I defenitly recommend Joyce! I got into a car accident right in front of her house while dropping off Mona. She made sure Mona was ok and kept me updated on how she was doing. She also helped me and let me into her home until my friend came to help me. My dog also loves going to stay with her.”
