Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hickory Point
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hickory Point
“100000000000/10 recommend Veronica!! She treated our little Toaster like her own child! She had a beautiful home that was fully decked out to be a 5 star resort for puppies! She was so knowledgeable about dogs (you would think she was a Vet!) and made us feel so comfortable that our baby would be in the wat of hands!! She even sent us update photos so regularly that we felt like we were there with our baby!! Toaster made so many friends with all the sweet little angels she had and hardly wanted to come home after his stay because he had so much fun!! If you want your baby to stay with someone that will love them and give them as much (and probably even more) attention than you do, then look no further!! Veronica is hands down the best sitter in Baltimore and we cannot thank her enough!!!”
“Shuling was wonderful! It was my first time leaving my fur baby with her— she sent photos within a few minutes of drop-off, along with plenty of updates throughout his stay. It was clear he was happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kelly and George were fantastic during Sophie's stay. From the pictures I could tell Sophie was relaxed, loved, and felt at home from the very first day. Will definitely board the pup with them again!”
“We love sending out dogs to Virginia and Steve. They love on them so much! We use them to watch our dogs every time we are out of time. They truly treat our dogs like their own”
“Ended up needing a last minute sitter and Liz & Jeff were able to accommodate. Had great communication leading up to a meet and greet with our girl and their resident pups, and a few days later dropped off Goose for her stay. Super responsive, gave great updates and photos and videos galore for my girl. Knowledge with dogs overall and their interactions with people and animals was great! Their family and resident dogs were exactly what I’d want for someone watching my own while I’m away. Will definitely become a return client😊”
“Kimberly and her family were fantastic. My dog seemed super happy during her stay. I received a photo and note every night. I will definitely be booking with them in the future.”
“Wonderful person and family. Provided lots of pics to ease my mind because this was our first time. Allowed us to do a meet and greet the day before and was so accommodating to his allergy needs. Will definitely use again.”
“I had a great experience booking with this sitter for my dog Charlie. They took really good care of him, followed all of his instructions, and made sure he received his medication on time. I appreciated the photo updates because it helped me relax and know he was doing well. Charlie came home happy and calm. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Erin is wonderful! She is so friendly and we trust her completely to take good care of Gracie our mini Goldendoodle. We have already rebooked her while I recover from knee replacement surgery.”
“Becca was wonderful with Bandit. Her son Kash got along with Bandit and they seemed to have fun together. I would ask her to care for Bandit again in the future, and I’d recommend Becca to others.”
“Amazing! - Our dog stayed for a little over 2 weeks and we consistently received updates and proactive communication. We had to add a few days and it worked with scheduling. Thanks so much, will send her back!!”
“Fantastic - Amazing - Wonderful! Yukia was a great communicator from the start. We talked before we brought our rascal over. We even did a meet and greet just to make sure he would take to her - and he sure did! During our trip she sent daily photos and updates, and our kids could not wait to get them every day. I could tell when I went to pick him up that he was very happy to be with her. For a quick moment he could not decide if he wanted to stay with her or come back home. It was his first time with someone else and she obviously took great care of him. There is no doubt that we have found our pet sitter for good!”
“Junie comes back happy and healthy! We received lots of great pictures of her walks and hangout time with dog friends. Julia is quick to respond to messages and knows a lot about dog behavior.”
“Wow, I can't say enough about how well Katelyn cared for and accommodated our dog Oscar. He was nervous at first but quickly adapted and thrived - thank you Soooo Much, 6 stars out of 5! Definitely a keeper!!”
“Hester is great. Very good communication. Follows up quickly. Keeps me in the loop during my dogs stay. And I usually get a tired and happy dog after the stay. Very happy I found Hester!”
“Robin promptly responded to all requests and provided a great experience for our Addie. Clearly comfortable working with dogs, has ample space indoors and outdoors for play. This was our first time and was great experience.”
“Alexis took fantastic care of my pup, Finn! She was very organized and thoughtful, ensuring all of his needs were met. She sent me updates with photos every day. Finn loved spending time with her so much he actually didn’t want to leave! Look forward to boarding Finn with Alexis again!”
“My Australian labradoodle did well at Brittany's. She usually watches other dogs and she has 3 little children so my dog got lots of exercise and love. She came exhausted. Brittany is very responsive to questions and gets back right away which was important to me. She sent pics too so I could see what my dog was up to.”

“Jaclyn was great with my cat, Bella. She came at all the right times, made sure she was fed and had enough water, checked her litter every day, spent time, and played with her. I got plenty of pictures reassuring me that she was well taken care of. I would definitely seek out her services should I travel again.”
“10/10, I would absolutely book with her again! She made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Jacob took exceptional care of our Boston Terrier, Gunner, while we were away at the beach. From the very beginning, he was punctual, dependable, and incredibly attentive. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Gunner was in such loving and caring hands. Jacob treated Gunner like he was his own, making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for every day. It was clear from the updates and from how relaxed and happy Gunner was when we returned that he had received plenty of attention and afflooking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and truly loves animals, we highly recommend Jacob. We will definitely be using his services again!”
“My cats love Courtney! Especially my super shy boy comes out of shell when he sees her. I’m super happy with her taking care of my two little ones, she spends quality time with them and doesn’t cut her visits short. I also really appreciate the detailed write up and the cute photos. Thank you, Courtney!”

She kept me updated with photos, spent quality time playing with them, and made sure they felt comfortable while I was away. I came home to two happy cats and would definitely book with her again!”
“Megan was an amazing caretaker of my cat. She was very attentive to detail and her visits provided the comfort my senior cat was longing for while I was away for six nights. I’m looking forward to provide her services whenever I’ll be out of town.”
“Nicole did a fantastic job taking care of my 2 cats! Nicole is very conscientious and caring, she followed my instructions carefully and gave me detailed updates every day. My younger cat loves to play with her. This is the second time Nicole is taking care of my cats while I am gone and I will ask for her service again next time I will be away. Thank you very much, Nicole!!!”
“First time with Erica and she was great! Very responsive and took very good care of our cats. Will definitely rebook in the future and definitely would recommend her!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hickory Point
“Ryan and Sabrina have been wonderful as sitters for Toby. He loves going there and especially loves their big yard. They are very flexible with any changes and always accomodating. I totally recommend 100%.”
“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”
About: This young adult is filled with energy, patience and love! I have owned a dog since I was a child and tried to open a mini petting rescue zoo in my moms barn . It worked until I had to actually adult and pay my own bills . I love giving one in one attention and healthy treats . My availability is flexible due to working around my human patients . I value bedside mannerisms and do believe they don’t just apply to two legged friends. I have been known for my cautious and preventative decision making skills ! My temperament is easy going but firm because if not, all paws will break loose! Seriously , I would have 100 dogs at home if possible. I am currently working part time and from home . I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and love deserving ! I have a mini fenced in area in my back yard that my own pup adores. It is just enough space to get the job done and provide leg room. I live in walking distance to three huge parks, and on leash we will have a wonderful time.
“Brittany is the seriously best! She took care of my 2 year old labradoodle, and it was clear from the photos that my dog was having the time of her life in her big backyard and welcoming environment. Thank you, Brittany!”
“We had to come to Baltimore MD at a rush and bring our westie for a serious family emergency. Veronica was excellent and professional from the very start . She accommodated our last minute request and made us feel very comortable with leaving our westie with her on a whim . Highly recommend !”
About: Hello, I am here to make sure your fur baby is safe and comfortable while you are away. With 8+ years of experience I have learned that every furry friend is different. Different distractions, different tastes, different attitudes but one thing each furry friend can’t resist is love and attention. Some positive energy is all a friend needs to enjoy the company of a new friend. I will cater to our furry friends as needed and instructed by you. Maybe there is a medication time we need to fit in or even some training you guys are working on. I am more than happy to stay consistent with whatever is going on in the daily routine. I work with all ages and sizes. Dogs and cats are all welcome❤️ Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my daily routine haha. I work from home and I have a lot of extra time to provide love and attention. I am practically home 24/7 and thats the way I like it❤️ I am always available if your fur baby wants to tag along around the house. I have crates if a friend needs to be crated or separated in another room. Always keeping a friendly calm environment. I live in a 3 level home with a nice yard for some exercise. Also, the neighborhood has a nice trail for some walks.
“We booked day care with Francine super last minute and she accepted a same day request (on Christmas Eve!!) Our dog had a great time with their 2 dogs, running around in their fenced in back yard and chilling in the house. We would strongly recommend booking with Francine!”
“I have been to many dog sitters with my new pup and she has NEVER been so happy than she was with Alexandra! Alexandra exercised her, played, and allowed supervised play with her other dogs! Tesla did not want to leave when I came to pick her up. When we got home she went to her bed and went to sleep seemingly fully content! We have not seen her this way before! We are thrilled to have found Alexandra and to know that our pup is loved and cared for just as we do by her! I highly recommend her!!! We will be returning weekly!!! Tesla can't wait!”
About: I’m an experienced pet sitter with a deep love for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have fostered and volunteered with BARCS and am patient with dogs who may need extra time to feel comfortable in new environments. I absolutely love finding ways to engage dogs through enrichment activities, playtime, and outdoor adventures! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to adjust my routine to fit the needs of your pet. My spouse, who also is a major dog lover, and I sit as a team to ensure that we can accommodate your pet’s ideal schedule! I have an adorable dog named Taz who loves to host new friends! Taz’s love for other dogs is actually the reason we are on Rover as sitters…he loves when new friends come to visit ❤️
“Tiffany has again been amazing with accommodating our ever-changing schedules. Our dog feels totally comfortable with her and gets excited to see her in the mornings. We are definitely lucky to have found someone to take such great care of our girl!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic with our dog Lupin. She picked him and dropped him off every day which was such a help. He also adored playing with her puppy!”
“My Jessie has separation anxiety, which I is why I bring her to daycare. She did very well with Lidia and Lidia's sweet, mellow dog. I will definitely bring her there again.”
“Nick is absolutely wonderful with my puppy Raven, he gets a lot of play time, walks, rest and attention and comes home tired from a fun filled day. Definitely bringing my doggy back!!”
“can’t say enough great things about these two! They came through for me in a sliver of time and made sure every single one of my requests was taken care of. The whole process was smooth, professional, and stress free, ESPECIALLY with everything being so last minute. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and their owners. If you need someone reliable who will go above and beyond when you really need help, this is definitely the person to call!”
“Michelle has been so great with my sweet Paris that even though we don’t need her services often, Paris gets excited the moment we pull up (knowing exactly where we are) and is never sad to see me leave, lol! She’s happy when I pick her up but has clearly had a great time with Michelle and any other pups around. Michelle has simply been amazing to work with as she’s navigated some of my own challenging schedule issues with grace during an already difficult time. I am so grateful.”
“Lindsay was awesome with our dog Zuzu! We are so glad to have found someone who we can trust to leave her with. We have already told several friends that they should reach out to Lindsay to watch their pups too.”
“Marta is wonderful! Finn had so much fun at her house and yard. She made sure that he would be compatible with the other dogs that were there and she sent me updates and lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Hickory Point
“I could not be happier with Sam and the excellent care he provided for my dog, Walter! I needed to be out of town for the better part of a week, and having just moved to town, did not have any friends or family to watch after my large canine; Sam to the rescue! I had never used this service or this site before, so initially was a tad skeptical. After Sam's quick response, and then after meeting him in person, I knew Walter would be in good hands. I initially approached him requesting two walks per day, but due to his reasonable pricing, I suggested that I would be interested in adding a third walk every day. Even though I'm sure it was a bit out of the way, he accepted the extra work with alacrity. On top of all this, when I needed to put Walter on antibiotics last-minute, Sam was more than happy to administer the medicine. It was clear from the "Rover Cards" that Walter was getting great walks, and truly first-rate overall care. I would absolutely use Sam's service again, and would recommend him to anyone needing hassle-free, reliable care. I hope he is available if and when I need him again. Thanks Sam!”
About: Ive been around, and taken care of pets for my family/other friends and family for as long as I can remember. I have been trusted with the tasks of walking, grooming, medicating, and making sure the well being of the pet is at its fullest, and if it’s not, I am keen to figure out the problem. I am also very good with pets under the age of 1, as I have assisted in raising 3 litters of dogs of my own. I currently work as a freelance musician, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My availability is very flexible, as the shows I play are in town, and only take up a small part of the day or night, so I will not be away from your pet very long, if at all! I have 5 dogs of my own, who are on a feeding/bathroom schedule that we follow daily. When I take them outside I am with them to make sure they do all they need to do so there are no accidents in the house. When taking care of your pet I will always cater to their need/routine; give them as much space, and or as much love as they need!
“Danika did great walking Spunky. She kept a brisk pace to keep my dog active but she also stopped to let Spunky sniff and smell things. Spunky is very happy and comfortable with Danika which isn’t always the case because my dog is a rescue pup. Danika arrived on time and is very professional, I will be using her services again in the future.”
“Tracie is amazing. She has saved the day for me a few times already with last minute walks. She is wonderful with my dogs and always takes lots of pictures and gives them lots of love and attention!”

Unless you would allow me to come home and let my own dogs out. Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a wonderful day!

I have a big backyard for both my dogs. Both are well-trained. I do have a dog run for my dog Loki because he is extra extra energy. I am unavailable to host your pups in my home. I apologize in advance.
“Natasha is very reliable and dependable! She showed up despite other things going on because she is committed to your fur babies! She sticks to her word and is very punctual. She communicates quickly and will meet the needs of your pups. She is very friendly and managed walking my two labs who are full of energy and quite strong! I will be booking with her again in the future. Thank you”
“Whitney is an amazing walker for our full of life puppy WALL-E. Her introduction was very friendly. Her communication is great. I would definitely recommend Whitney to anyone and for the new and existing ROVER members that's in the area. Take heed to what's needed for our handsome little guy!! You Rocks Whitney!!”
“Destiny continues to care for Tucker in such a kind, positive and professional manner. Her communication is always detailed and her attention to care details, impressive!”

“Alexandra was amazing to work with! Had a last minute trip and she was prompt and very easy to work with! Pups loved her and we will definitely be using her services indefinitely??”

“If you have a large dog Wydia is the person for you. Kiato misses me and hubby something awful when we travel and Wydia went above and beyond. We also had the storm Debbie come through while we were on vacation and she modified walks around the storm. She even did some longer walks to let him really get some exercise and walk with a dog friend. She even brushed his coat several times as it is blow out season. I will be using Wydia again!! If I could give 10 stars I would.”

About: Hi! I’m Courtney — a true dog lover, experienced pet caregiver, and someone who treats every pet like family. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet.

I have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details.

If your pet requires additional support — including senior care, medication administration, frequent potty breaks (every few hours), mobility assistance, separation anxiety management, or near-constant supervision — please let me know before booking, as these higher-needs situations may require custom pricing to ensure I can provide the level of care your pet deserves. Please be as detailed as possible about your pet’s routine, behaviors, and care needs so I can make sure we’re the right fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!
