“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”

“Courtney was absolutely amazing. She sent plenty of photos along with thoughtful, detailed updates, and my cat clearly adored her. I’m so grateful for her — especially for being so flexible on such short notice. I would book her again in a heartbeat, 1000%!”
About: During my time as a pet attendant, I spent much of my time handling the cats' daily feedings, cleaning the homes, and making sure any medications were administered correctly per the owners' instructions. Additionally, I enjoy researching and understanding how to identify and understand cats' behavior to best cater to their individual needs. Finally, I have participated in many sitting opportunities for friends or family that required overnight stays, medication administration, and maintaining the needs of the cats' physical and mental enrichment. Overall, my job is making sure that your feline has the best time while you are out of town:)
“Beth did amazing with our highly needy and extremely anxious Cat.

“Sarah was awesome with my cat Ham. I went away for a week and was very anxious about leaving Ham for so long, but Sarah was great and eased my worries. Even when I was having some connectivity issues getting the daily updates, Sarah would text me to let me know how Ham was doing. Sarah took multiple pictures daily and provided a daily log of how he was doing. Ham also requires a daily IV treatment and Sarah had no issues giving Ham his treatments. So glad I found Sarah and I’ll definitely be using her for future visits with Ham.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for 3 dogs, 2 cats, birds, lizards, hermit crabs, fish, and rabbits. Taking care of pets has always come naturally to me. Since I was around 10 years old, I’ve helped walk my neighbors’ dogs and puppies, as well as pet sit their dogs and cats while they were away on vacation. I’m very patient, attentive, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and lots of attention. My 5-month-old daughter and I spend a lot of time at home, so I’m able to provide consistent care, companionship, and updates for pet owners. I enjoy having animals as part of our daily routine and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. In my home, pets are treated like family and are welcome on the furniture for comfort and companionship. I create a calm, loving environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed while away from their owners. My cats have access to food and water throughout the day, with their setup safely placed out of reach from dogs when needed. I do not crate animals unless specifically requested by the owner, as I prefer pets to feel comfortable and free in the home. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level to make sure they receive individualized care, attention, and plenty of love.
“Julia was incredibly responsive and promptly accepted our last-minute request. She took excellent care of our dog, providing frequent updates and photos that truly went above and beyond. She was attentive to his needs and very respectful of his comfort level. As a bonus, she has a delightful dog of her own, and ours clearly enjoyed the time playing together.”
“Alex communicated throughout our dog’s stay, shared lots of photos, and took him out for walks. Our shy boy normally takes weeks to adjust to a new sitter, but clearly liked being with Alex and her pack.”
“Had work done to my home and my puppy needed a place to stay for the day. Bruno had the best time with Kacie. I received so many updates and photos. It was so comforting to know he was in great hands.”
“Let me just say Diana is awesome!!! She’s very responsive and took great care of our Ms Kenzie for 9 days . She provided updates and pictures throughout Kenzie’s stay and treated her like family. Our puppy decided to get in heat on day 2 or 3 but Diana handled it like the pro she is as we were concerned that it occurred while we were away. Diana had extra diapers and made sure she was comfortable. We were very appreciative of Diana’s attentiveness, love and care of our pooch and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Diana! Thank you so much Diana!!!!”
About: I am a trustworthy, responsible, reliable, and caring person who loves dogs. To fill the void of not owning my own dog at the moment, I am available to help my friends and neighbors with their pets. I will treat your dog with love and genuine care.

I am happy to make arrangements based on what is best and most comfortable for your dog. Let’s talk about what works for you and go from there.
“Whitney is an excellent care provider for my fur baby! My girl suffers from separation anxiety and I needed someone she could hang out with when I was at work and my family was out of town. All I can say is this was the first time my baby was actually excited to leave me and stay with someone! She wagged her tail and easily went to Whittney when I dropped her off. Always came back to me happy and relaxed. Whittney was great sending me lots of pictures and she regularly took her for a walk. Plus, Whittney is so sweet herself, I want to be her friend!”
About: I'm a 32 y/o born & raised Annapolitan living in the heart of DT, and was raised always having 2 big dogs and 2 cats at a time. As of now, I travel to the Eastern Shore once a week to help my folks take care of our beloved Piper (13 y/o grandma Weimaraner) and Rooney (8 year old tabby). They are my world, but my heart is always open to giving all critters my love! Caring for and gaining the trust of an animal is truly one of life’s biggest rewards for me. I’m beyond grateful to be caring for the local dogs & cats of the area — thank you for your consideration! Dog Walking & Drop-In’s: These two services are very similar. You can customize either and both are the same fee. Let me know how you'd like me to spend my visit! (for example: out of a 30 minute visit — 15 minute walk, 15 minute outside play, etc.). The dog walking option does provide you with a map of our route. I'm happy to brush, feed, medicate your pets, water plants, grab the mail, clean the litter box or do simple tasks at no extra charge. I live 2 blocks away from my full time job downtown, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m sure to update my calendar regularly and only accept bookings that I know I can fully accommodate. My focus is on quality time, providing care and comfort crafted specifically for each animal, and respecting boundaries/safety. Let’s talk about what your pet prefers, and I’ll make it happen! 🫶
“I have used Michelle for both of my dogs, yesterday was her first time watching my 3 month old yorkie & she did a wonderful job. She made sure he was comfortable because he was afraid at first. I really appreciate Michelle for all of her help. I highly recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services.”
About: Hi there! I have been caring for animals since a very young age. Growing up, we always had at least 2 dogs and raised litters of puppies at times. I had a sweet boy of my own (Nixon, in my profile photo) who I raised from a pup, but sadly passed away this year. I am an active person and love caring for animals, taking them for ample walks and pup cups, or just good company! Having a pet by my side is natural for me and would love to care for yours! I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule so I have ample time to take pets for walks, play, and they will never be lonely if staying with me! We have a townhome in Eastport which is a very walkable area and there is a backyard of green space for easy access potty breaks. Always will be leashed. I previously had a husky that wasn’t trusted off leash so I am overly cautious on that! Pets are allowed on furniture/ beds if owners allow. We have several decks if they like to look out and the boat action or sunbathe!
About: I have two cats of my own who I adore. I frequently help take care of relatives' and neighbors dogs. My own black lab recently passed and taking care of other dogs is enjoyable and therapeutic. I am a teacher and home by early afternoon . My husband is home all day and helps take care of fur babies in our home while I’m at work. I am free in the evenings and weekends to help care of your fur babies! I have a two-story home with a back yard. Typically, dogs hang out with us during the day in our family room and sleep on dog beds in my bedroom. We live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood and walk dogs during the day on leashes. We have two cats in our home who are used to having dogs in the home.

About: I've had numerous experiences caring for dogs of different temperaments and medical conditions, whether the animal was closely related through family or friends or through my place of work. Additionally, I am a former animal studies major and have spent several years learning and understanding different ways domesticated animals can communicate their needs. My goal is to ensure each animal is given the proper mental and physical enrichment they need to thrive in their loving home. Through my extensive research and knowledge, I foster a safe environment that ensures your dog/cat will receive the best care for their specific breed's needs and requirements. I strive every day to give each fur baby the love and life they deserve:) I have taken a few months away from my job to pursue personal passions of mine before I return to college, so my schedule from Monday to Sunday is very flexible and readily available. Times and schedules may vary depending on personal appointments or familial obligations. If for any reason an emergency visit is needed, I can swing by and check in with your fur baby. I can crate dogs easily and work on building confidence with shy/anxious dogs. Additionally, I update owners about patterns of feeding, bowel movements, or any changes in everyday life to ensure comfort. The safety of your pet is my top priority, and I strive to uphold that through attentive one-on-one play and monitoring of any physical or mental changes.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds & sizes over the years. I am comfortable with puppies through senior age. Friends, family and clients have relied on me to feed, walk, play with, clean up after, and love their pups as if they were my own. I can administer medications, including injections, and sq fluids. I can practice obedience skills during my visits as well. I’m available for pet care visits on Wednesday & Thursday mornings as well as evenings, Friday afternoon-evening, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am also available on major holidays. Mondays and Tuesdays are on a case-by-case basis. I am very safety conscious and will care for your pets as carefully as I would my own. I will follow whatever your normal household routine is so that your pets feel safe and comfortable. They thrive with routines! If they use a crate, need treats after potty breaks, want belly rubs after a meal, etc., I am there for it all!
“Andrew did a great job this weekend! He walked my very large Labradoodle and St Bernadoodle and made sure both dogs and my 3 cats were fed and had water. He followed the care instructions, was extremely communicative and arrived promptly at the booking time. I will absolutely be using Andrew for future bookings, highly recommended!!”
“Ellie was great! She’s flexible and communicates well which makes it easy to trust her! She also did an outstanding job with my husky lab, Malibu. Would definitely recommend booking!”
“Thank you Elizabeth for taking great care of both dogs for us! We appreciate Elizabeth being patient as one of our dogs was hiding, afraid in a closet and she helped to get him out and comfortable on a walk.”
About: I grew up around big dogs and cats, so I’m familiar with reading animal behavior. Dog walker and cat socialization volunteer at local animal shelter near college. I’m currently taking a class that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays, but other than that (and studying) my days are free! I do also work at an organic farm in the mornings on weekends, but my afternoons and evenings are free! I’m looking to help out whenever and wherever I can. Able to wear them out with loads of play time or to just give them a good belly rub. Whatever is needed! I’m used to playing with a high energy German Shepard/Akita mix and a one year old Black Mouth Cur. Needless to say, I can hold my own against big dogs zoomies.
“Thomas is so good working with our 14 1/2 year old black lab with some serious arthritis. He helps her up the stairs and competently gets her on and off the boat. When Thomas is here, we don’t worry about her while we are away. He goes above and beyond for our old girl with a smile and kind words.”
“Stella is awesome with a great personality! She is timely and very reliable. We have 2 dogs and 1 puppy. She did an excellent job caring for them. She definitely loves animals. We felt so comfortable and had no worries leaving our fur babies with her.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who grew up with 3 dogs, and regularly pet sit for friends and family before deciding to make it official. Friends often call me an animal whisperer because even shy or nervous pets tend to warm up to me quickly. I work remotely, and am very active, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention (and activity)! I work remotely and have very flexible hours, so your pet will have plenty of time, walking, snuggling, and being active. I also attend run clubs where pets are allowed, so if your fur baby is social, I’ll happily take them! I have a backyard, and live in a community with plenty areas to walk and sniff. Pets are welcome to be on furniture and in bed! I’m an excellent communicator, and will work collaboratively with you to determine the best care plan for your pet.
“Great dog walking services. Allison is always responsive and attentive to my dogs needs. She is honest about schedule and timing and I appreciate her for this! My dogs always sleep well after and are happy for their walks with Allison.”
“Jessica has been wonderful! I needed help on short notice for my energetic Staffy/Lab mix while I worked overnight shifts, and she exceeded my expectations. She was great with my dog from the very first meet and greet, and clearly has experience handling larger, high-energy dogs. She provided a full 30 minute walk, updates with photos, notes about the visit, and even tracked potty breaks and checked her water. Knowing my dog was getting exercise and attention in the middle of my 12 hour shift made a huge difference and greatly reduced my stress. Jessica has been reliable, professional, communicative, and caring. My dog absolutely loves her, and I feel completely comfortable having her care for my pet. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker!”
“Laura has been excellent for us. Our dog can be a handful around other dogs and Laura shows her expertise in keeping things calm during walks. Communication has been great and we’ve never had any scheduling issues. Laura’s rover cards are excellent and we get plenty of pictures! We’re really grateful we found Laura and that she had the availability for us. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a kind, reliable, trustworthy dog walker.”

“Andy and Lydia took such amazing care of our big Bernese Mountain dog. Our boy is recovering from chemo and we were very hesitant to leave him anywhere overnight but they put all our fears to rest. They provided updates, pictures, and handled all of our pups medications and dietary needs. We will absolutely let them watch our guy again in the future.”
“Laura was excellent! Kept my mind and heart at ease on my first experience using Rover. We will definitely ask her to watch our pup again. In addition to keeping me updated with photos and messages, She clearly kept our Ava active and happy as she was pretty exhausted when she came home. I was afraid she would not want to leave her new pals, Laura’s two dogs. Normally she does not care to be around other dogs, but Laura’s pictures showed her happy and calm with her own pets. Thanks Laura!!”
About: As stated, I have an 8 almost 8 year old German Shepherd myself. I’ve trained him myself to be quite obedient off leash, to listen well, and overall he’s very well behaved. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, turtles and more so I know my way around animals. I’m currently enlisted in the United States Navy. I work at the Naval Academy typically from around 9 in the morning to about 3pm most days. I’m also married with two kids and my wife is a stay at home mom who can also look after your furry friends as well. I don’t work weekends so I’m always available during the weekends and can be flexible throughout the week as well. At my home my dog is never crated he is always out and house trained. However, when looking after your fur babies if they need to be crated I have no issue catering to your needs. I don’t have a yard but we have a massive field and live in a circle so long walks are always a must. Whatever the needs of your fur babies, I can take care of those from daily dog walking, spending and playing time with your animals, staying over night at yours/my place, and giving g medicine if needed.
“Second time using Ciarra for my dog Kilala. She sends picture updates and sends home polaroid pictures :) Kilala always look forward to seeing her dog Toby & during pick up she doesn’t seem to want to leave. She is definitely someone i will continue to use in the future.”
About: I have grown up with medium to large sized dogs my whole life. I have experience with very friendly dogs and dogs that cannot play with others as well as puppies to older dogs. I have cared for my own pets and friends while growing up and can be trusted with any task to ensure your pets needs and safety! I can offer dog walking in the mornings (7-9am) or afternoons (4-7pm) during the week or anytime during the weekends. I am available on the weekends to check-in or stay with your animal overnight as well. I can check-in and care for your animal during the day or overnight at clients homes. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, bathed, played with and let outside for their needs. I am comfortable with any specific instructions from the owners as well (medication that needs to be taken, crate training, etc).
“Riley was an outstanding sitter for our pup! He is a blind 10 yr old and she took the best care of him. She gave us updates throughout his stay and I really appreciated the pictures. If we’re ever in the area again, I would definitely trust Riley and she is our go to.”
