“As always, Mariah was excellent at communicating while we were away for a week. She even notified me of a leak in the utility room and was able to place a receptacle there so that the water didn't damage the floor. So kind and just all-around amazing pet-sitter that goes above and beyond.”
“Ela is nothing short of amazing to my animals. I recently had to leave for a week and she checked on my babies twice daily. She stayed longer than expected and cleaned up the place before she left. If I was able to give more than 5 stars I would do so. Thank you so much, Ela!”
About: Hi!! My name is Elisha. It is a pleasure to be a consideration to you. A little about me .. I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties for relatives, friends, you name it. Since I can remember. I treat them as I would real children and companions. If you are in need of an extra hand, to walk or to visit your pup/kitty, I am available. I know life can get busy with work, traveling, or even dates. That is why I am so compassionate towards fur babies and believe that for your comfort as an owner, Rover is a great investment. I try to keep costs low as I am new, so here is to new pup/kitty beginnings ! I work 3-5 hours in the Baltimore area, however I live up Harford county so I’m flexible with locations and times! I can do early mornings, late noons, whichever is preferred by you :) I have a friendly pittie who can keep your dog company on walks (if they fare well that way) I will give often updates, photos, any notes as needed. An additional service I like to do for clients is picking up waste in the back, as it tends to become tedious and maybe difficult for some people, I am all here for it ! Please request that when booking.
“Angela took great care of my cat while I was on vacation! My cat can be picky about who he is friendly with but he seemed to love sitting with her and letting her pet him, as evidenced by the pictures and update notes that Angela sent during her visits. I will definitely use her again!”
“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.”

“Great experience with Nicolina and Patrice!! They took great care of our 4 cats and bunny even with one cat on meds and insulin shots!! Getting ready to book them again for our next trip out of town.”
“Elena has taken care of my kitties multiple times now, and they love her. My girl cat has medication she needs twice a day and can be difficult, but Elena is able to get her to take it every time. My boy cat just loves her so much every time she comes to visit. I can always count on my kitties being well taken care of!”
“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.”
“Heather came through for us after we had a late cancellation for a cat-sitting. I reached out to several Rover sitters and she was the very first to respond. It meant the world to go on our family trip assured that our boy was in good hands. Heather sent photo updates and promptly messaged back: would absolutely recommend her!”
“Allison did a great job caring for my cat, Babe. The day I was to leave town babe had to go to a special vet appointment where she got prescribed liquid medication. Allison handled administering that medication to her for part of the week with great care and did a great job doing it. She was very thorough in communicating with me and sending me pictures of Babe enjoying her visits. She was great.”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs for years. I rescued one cat to later find out she had seizures. She got proper treatment, love and attention, and lived to be fifteen. I am retired and available days, evenings, weekends, and most holidays to meet your pets needs and your schedule to keep on your pets routine. I have a medium size backyard with shade trees and room to play. During bad weather I use the basement for play time and activities.

They are spoiled rotten. Their names are Rainy and Stormy . I am well trained in giving oral medications as I had a fur baby that had congestive heart failure for 4 years whom also was a senior dog when he passed at 18 years old.

She sent me many photos and videos throughout the day, she took the dogs on long walks and gave them lots of playtime, she made sure my puppy had time to take a nap, and she was very responsive.

About: My experience with canines stretches back to my childhood. I've grown up with all different breeds ranging from Rottweiler to Lhasa Apso. I have been lucky enough to spend my life caring for my own pups and I would like to offer my time to allow all pup parents the peice of mind knowing that their fur baby is taken care of. My services will always include a picture of your pup enjoying some interaction time, no matter the service offered. You will have the piece of mind knowing that your pup is in good hands. I currently care for 3 pups all over 8yo (Drake-BorderCollie/Black Lab Mix, Brody-Pitbull/Basenji Mix, Quinn-Purebred Choc. Lab). Let me know what your situation is and how I can assist you. I offer a wide range of pet care services and I have experience with puppies who are on a bathroom schedule as well as elder pups who prefer to just cuddle and sunbathe. I am currently taking night classes to spend more time with my older pups. Please let me know what your needs are and how I can fit into your schedule needs. My home is on a corner and has plenty of yard space that gets cleaned daily to allow for worry free zoomies. While I do not have a fence, I utilize ground stakes and stay outside with my eye on the tricksters. I also have beds for any lazy pup to sunbathe or sit under a tree. I also travel to homes for any pups that are a little anxious when they leave their comfy place. I always clean during and after my visits to provide that additional piece of mind knowing that your home is cared for as well as your pets.

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.
“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.”
“This was the first time my senior Cavalier was taken to “doggy daycare.” Susan was so wonderful with him and sent pictures mid-day to reassure me. She was very conscientious to understand any of his special needs as a senior dog. He is already scheduled to go back next week.”

“I had something come up & I needed help with getting my dog walked on very short notice & with all her amazing reviews I figured the likelihood of getting Ela’s help so last minute was really slim, but lucky me she answered my request in minutes & generously came right away to help - ON A HOLIDAY, no less. You can tell right away upon meeting her that Ela is completely at ease with dogs & the same in return. & Even though our interaction tonight was brief it was clearly evident how professional Ela is & how serious she is about providing great care. My pup was super comfortable & acted as if she walked her everyday at first greeting & she came home well excercised & very happy. I immediately rebooked with Ela for another walk & I really look forward to working with her in the future... & I’m sure my pup will too! THANK YOU SO MUCH ELA!?”
“Elisha was wonderful! She last minute was able to pick up our dog walk request and was quick to communicate with me to set up times that worked best for us both. From the many pictures she sent of our pup on her walk, I can tell that she was happy and tired after! 10/10 recommend and I would definitely have her walk my girl again!”
“Jordan was amazing! She was so flexible, communicative, and was able to help when unexpected things came up. She gave love and care to all our animals and we were super grateful to her! Would absolutely use her again & recommend to friends/family!”
“Mariah was able to help me out last minute with walking my puppy Maya for me when I was in a bind & I’m so glad she could & that we got to meet her because she has a great energy & now we have someone close to home to call on! You can definitely tell that Mariah is very comfortable with animals upon meeting her & it was only further confirmed by the fact that If was completely evident afterwards too that my pup really had a ball with her on their walk together ! We look forward to having Mariah visit again soon! Thanks so much again Mariah!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Molly was very patient with my questions. We’re still working on training with our dog and she gave great feedback on how the walks went. We appreciated her being flexible with some schedule adjustment and will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends dogs before and have my own dog and cat now! I’m able to do all things needed to take care of a pet! I currently am on summer break with full availability until late August. I am also able to provide care at anytime on the weekends!! I can make any time work! I am very trustworthy and can come to your home to watch your pet. I can play with your pet on top of all other things necessary to take care of them.
About: I have been caring for various types of pets for over 40 years. Mostly dogs. I'm very experienced with senior dogs as well as puppies and everything in-between. I can even care for your tropical and saltwater fishies! Recently retired with all the time in the world to be home and available to your babies. I couldn't truly relax on vacation unless I was completely confident that my babies were loved, protected and spoiled with attention and love. This is what I will deliver. I know the drill on feeding, potty, meds, grooming(not professional just basic) and play, exercise, bedtime routines.....you name it! I can't wait to meet all my new friends. I'm available everyday and most holidays. Being retired really lets me be flexible. I do travel a few times a year for vacation and visiting family. Otherwise I will be available, often times on short notice. I have a small yard with a tall fence and a nice deck for lounging. I also love to take length appropriate walks relative to the dogs needs. Rain or shine.
About: I’ve taken care of big and small dogs starting at a young age. Neighbors have trusted me to walk, play, and sit their loving dogs. I take care of a 115lb dog of my own, but have cared for dogs all of sizes! I am energetic and love to play and give all attention to the dog as if it’s my own. I am compassionate but take the training of the dog into consideration. I love long and short walks to keep the dog in shape and healthy. I’m currently working part-time, so I am very flexible and open to many schedules! I am a full-time student at UMD from September to May. I have a fenced yard and one chocolate lab at home who loves to play. I love to play indoors or outdoors depending on weather. I can never stray away from taking a cat nap with an adorable dog and have plenty of dog beds for your animal.
About: I’m a mental health therapist and lifelong animal lover, so I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pets. I grew up around animals—my mom ran her own professional pet sitting business, and I learned from her experience with the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, and more—and have been trusted with their care since I was a teen. I’m comfortable and experienced with medicating pets when needed, always following your instructions carefully. As a pet parent myself, with my cat Luna at home, I know how much your pets mean. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes—young or old, big or small—and treat every pet like part of my family. Because when your pet is happy, you are happy! I work part-time as a mental health therapist, which gives me a lot of flexibility and allows me to stay local. Pet care is a meaningful way for me to care for others while also taking care of myself, so I’m truly present and intentional in the time I spend with your pets. I love creating consistent routines whenever possible—it helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. That means plenty of attention, play, and cuddles (always on their terms), along with keeping up with their regular feeding and routines. I’m attentive to cleanliness and will always make sure any messes are taken care of promptly. I keep a close eye on their health and can provide medication support when needed, always following your instructions and your vet’s orders carefully. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and notes so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. I’m also very open to discussing safety preferences and expectations to ensure the best experience for both you and your pets.
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and starting at 11 I began dog and cat sitting. I've cared for pets with all sorts of needs and temperaments, and individual accomadation and flexibility are very important to me. I love animals, and taking care of animals, and I can't wait to meet your babies and give them the high quality care they deserve! I'm currently in business school part time after getting my bachelors degree, so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to accomodate most requests - your pets comfort and safety are my top priorities! I do not offer services in my home, as my cat is not very friendly with other animals, but in my own home I have fully enclosed outdoor spaces for my cat, multiple litter boxes, high quality food, and endless toys and cat trees. My cat's health and wellbeing are the utmost importance to me, and I will bring that same level of care and attention to your pets, however their routines and environments differ from our own!
“Alyssa was able to accommodate my last minute booking request and was great with communication before and during service. My dog is highly anxious and she did wonderful with her! She took the time to ask questions and get to know her and what she needed.”
About: Hi! My name is Allie. I am a 26 year old Respiratory Therapist and cat mom! I have been a pet and house/babysitter since my early teens. We’re that crazy family that has five dogs running around our house during the holidays! My whole family grew up around animals and it has been second nature to care for pets in my life. I’m very respectful of people’s homes and pets, and I treat them as my own. Rover🐾 provides me a fun job to meet new furry friends in my free time! I am very flexible with my schedule and I would love to assist people while they are away or need extra help while making friends along the way! Feel free to contact me for any questions. I work night shift at a hospital 3 times a week (7p-7:30a) and I have a flexible schedule, so I have a lot of free time during the day! I am a homeowner myself, so I understand the importance of respecting someone’s space and property. I know how valuable it is to have someone you can trust in your home. I’ll treat it as my own! (minus the cat hair😉)
