Personalized care for your dog or cat - Patapsco
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Patapsco
“Liz and Jeff took outstanding care of Topper during his 8-night holiday stay, and they truly are exceptional dog sitters. Topper had a wonderful time with their family and other dogs, and it was clear he was treated like one of their own. Throughout the stay, they sent frequent video updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, in great shape, and clearly very happy. It was obvious that he’d had plenty of attention, playtime, and care in a safe, loving home environment. Liz and Jeff are reliable, caring, and trustworthy, and we feel very lucky to have found them. We would not hesitate to book them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top‑notch dog sitters.”
“Virginia and Steven were outstanding. We boarded our dog with them for a weekend and they were incredibly kind and accommodating when our flight got cancelled and she had to stay an extra night with them, and they didn’t bat an eye at giving her eye drops even though she doesn’t make it easy. Our dog seemed extremely well cared for when she came home. Would definitely rebook!”
“Felice and her family were wonderful, and took such great care of our two little dogs! I could tell they had a good time from the photos I received. I would not hesitate leaving our dogs in her care again. Excellent experience!!!”
“Robin provided excellent care for my dog Milo. This was my first time leaving Milo in someone else’s care other than family and friends and I was nervous and anxious. Robin sent videos and pictures and Milo was having a great time in her care. Robin only cares for small dogs which I like because I have a Yorkie. She has a dog that looks like my last dog that I had for 14 years. Robin is experienced in caring for dogs as shown by observation of her interaction with Milo and by questions and written information she requested regarding Milo’s health issue. I will definitely have Robin care for Milo again!”
“Our dog Meleys always looks like she's having amazing time with Morgan!! She responds quickly and made us feel so safe leaving our baby with her. Thank you Morgan!! ☺️”
“Virginia was amazing. Our dog loved being at her house with her two dogs and was thoroughly worn out after playing at her house all day. Will definitely be using Virginia again.”
“Geovanna was absolutely amazing with my fur babies while I was out of the country! She updated me every single day and sent the sweetest photos of my girls, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My oldest, Cali, can be a bit feisty at times, but Geovanna handled everything so well and I am incredibly grateful. She was also extremely responsive, immediately answering any questions I had. To top it off, when my flight got delayed, she was so understanding and accommodating about extending the time. We all know things happen when traveling, and she made a stressful situation so much easier! I would definitely use Geovanna again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for safe, loving hands for their pets. 🤍🐶”
“We were in the middle of moving and Dexter had a great comfortable time at Taylor’s! We will become regulars in the near future. Thank you for watching my baby Taylor!”
“Deivy and his family took great care of our boy, Hunter while we went away on a ten day honeymoon!! He sent us pictures and updates frequently! It was great to leave our pup with someone who we definitely felt comfortable with :)”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Our pup Lulu obviously had tons of fun with Reynaldo! He sent plenty of picture updates, and we could tell she was in great hands while we were gone for a long weekend. I'd definitely rebook him!”
“Megan was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING with our two dogs, Nelson and Kodie! Both can be energetic at times and both like lots of cuddles which they both received the entire stay. She followed the schedule perfectly and put our minds at ease! Communication was GREAT! Megan kept us informed of their daily activities from the time they woke up until they went to bed (including mealtimes, play time and cuddle time). She sent GREAT photos (AND I MEAN GREAT) the photos were picture perfect for magazines!! :) Megan was reliable and adjusted to our schedule with drop off and pick up. When the dogs ran out of the canned food, she offered and picked some up for us! How nice! :) At pick up both dogs were happy and well taken care of! BUT what touched my son and I the most is we were going through our pets bag and found Megan had placed a gift bag for Nelson and Kodie that consisted of a card, plush dog toy, and dog treats! WHAT A SURPRISE- We are STILL SMILING!!! :) THANK YOU MEGAN VERY NICE MEETING YOU AND WE ROVER PET PARENTS WILL BE RETURNING!!! :)”
“This was our first experience using Rover and it was great! Brittanie and Ryan were flexible and easy to communicate with, shared photos throughout our pet’s stay, and overall made it easy to be away without worrying about her. Would definitely return the next time we need pet care!”
“Yukia did a great job with Blaze!!! I could tell my pupper loved being with her and her wonderful family!!! Highly recommend!!! She constantly updated me with how Blaze was doing with pics!!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Remi with Julia! Remi is under a year old and it was his first time away from us. Julia helped make that experience easy for him and us by being timely, organized, and responsive. She sent texts with beautiful pictures to let us know how he was doing— which made us feel confident in our decision to leave for the holidays. Thank you Julia! We are looking forward to the next time we need to board him.”
“Brandon is fantastic! Molly always runs to him during drop off, never looking back at us. She returns home exhausted and sleeps the entire day after because all she does is play and run around!”
“Lorna is an amazing dogsitter. My 4 month old puppy was genuinely happy in her home for the five days she stayed. She enjoyed making some doggy friends. We will definitely use her services in the future.”
“I am SO glad that I found Ashley! I needed a sitter to watch my puppy at the last minute for a work trip. She was SO incredibly flexible while I was away and my flight kept changing. My puppy absolutely loved her and I felt very secure leaving my dog in Ashley’s home. I would 10/10 recommend, and Ashley will continue to be my first pick here on Rover :)”

“This was our first time using Rover for our cat Walt. He is slow to warm up to people but Tabitha was great at the meet and greet just going at his pace and not forcing anything. She stopped by for 2 visits and by the second one he was less shy and approached her more easily. I would definitely recommend Tabitha as she was available on short notice and reliable.”
“jessica started kitten-sitting for us in October. ive booked her multiple times and each time she's been punctual, communicative, respectful, and a joy to have as mika's sitter. ive written a review before, but another one because her service is always on point!”
“This was my first time using rover and I was very nervous leaving my Chloe with a stranger but Lorena was a fabulous sitter. She communicated with me and asked questions to learn more about Chloe’s personality. I would definitely use her again.”
“This was our (and our 2 cats') first time with a pet sitter. We were worried because aside from the vet our cats aren't socialized with strangers, but Erica did great with them! She's a very no-nonsense person who gets the job done as professionally and compassionately as possible. You can tell she really loves the animals and she knows her cat stuff. Our house was left in great condition, no messes, and all instructions were followed. She also sent us cute notes each visit about her experience with the cats, which made our time away from them way less stressful. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Fennel is awesome! She communicates very well whether it is coordinating the service, any instructions needed for care, or whatever may be occurring during the visit. She goes above and beyond to care for your babies, I would highly recommend her for your next booking.”
“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
“Lidia rescued my cat from another sitter/bad situation. Knowing that my cat had been traumatized, she was very sensitive to my cat’s needs, was kind, gentle, and also kept me in constant touch and with as many pictures and updates as I needed to feel my cat was safe. 12/10 - Lidia is amazing ❤️”
“Alyssa is so kind and quickly became one of Oliver's favorite people! She's responsive and communicative and I never had any concerns or worries for Oliver's care while she was with him.”
“Ashley was able to care for my two kitties super last minute. She did such a great job and went above and beyond. I had a lot of anxiety leaving them and Ashley made me feel so secure in her messages and photos. I’m so grateful for her and will continue to use her in the future!”
“Raechel checked on our cat daily while we were away for 10 days and everything went great. After each visit, she sent a summary along with photos and videos and we even got to video chat with her and the cat. We had a great experience with Raechel and would gladly hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“Samantha came daily for 7 days for my cat Harley. She was attentive, communicated and took great care of Harley. The daily photos and touching base was phenomenal. I will absolutely get in touch with Samantha for my next trip!”
“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!”
“Mélanie stepped in last minute to help with my fearful pup while I was out of town. I am greatly appreciative of her communication and help! Thank you, Melanie!”

“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.”
“Kathleen was a lifesaver. We were away for a day trip and had scheduled her to walk our dog mid-day. While we were on the trip we had an emergency that made it impossible for us to get home to walk and feed our dog that evening as planned. Kathleen was quick to respond and helped us out last-minute for a second visit the same day.”

“Liz and Jeffrey were so wonderful with Lola and Daisy! It was fairly last minute and they were incredibly understanding. They provided a lot of information about their home and care that made me feel so much better about dropping my girls off with them.

One of the best Rover experiences I've ever had, if not the very best!!”
“We had such a great experience with this daycare! They were absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and clearly loves what they do. Saint had the best time and really bonded with their dog, Kai.

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

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.
“Our boy was so happy to see Anna and Christian! He yelped his yelp reserved for family members. We always feel fine leaving him there. Lots of pictures and updates, too.”
“My puppy goes to daycare at Ashley's house once a week. Ashley takes really good care of my puppy and keeps me updated with photos and how things are going. She is also very quick to respond to my requests.”
“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 dog Melo stayed with Nicholas today for the first time, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I never had to worry because Nicholas kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. From the moment we arrived, I could tell he was knowledgeable about dogs—he let Melo take the lead in introductions and gave him the space to warm up at his own pace. Melo also had an absolute blast playing with Nicholas’ dog, which made the day even better. I would highly recommend Nicholas and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“We’ve had all five star experiences. We have a mini doodle who has anxiety and she got more and more comfortable with each stay. Our girl loves being outside and there is plenty of space to explore. Lots of communication and feedback. Highly recommend!”

“Lorena is super sweet, this was our first time ever using rover and we were super nervous about it. I️ loved that she scheduled a meet up prior so we got to meet her and she got to meet the dogs.

“Carolyn is amazing! It is so comforting as a dog owner to know he is in good hands and the pictures she send after each walk show how much he loves his time with her!”
About: My name is Lindsey and I come from a large family with 10 other children. I graduated from high school in May of 2018 and I decided to take a year off. Usually I’m either working, working out, or spending time outside! I love dogs and have had them since I was a kid! We’ve had everything from Great Danes to Hunting Dogs. My favorite was a Great Dane we had named Iris. She was a harlequin & was the last of my sisters litter. I’m available everyday, and during the evening. I’ll make sure your dog has lots of love, goes on long walks, and gets plenty of food and treats! I’m used to caring for animals and have plenty of time to do so. I also train dogs for basic obedience. I’m currently in the military, so I do have sufficient time for your pets, and they will get lots of walks and so much attention as well! I will care for your pets just as you instruct, and follow everything to a T. I send lots of pictures and track my walks with the dogs, so you’ll always know!
About: I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I have dog-sat for one year. I also have experience caring for pets within my family. I am a college student, therefore, I have the summers off. My schedule is flexible, and I am available full-time. I can stop by when needed. I understand the deep love others have for their pets. Therefore, I want to ensure pet parents feel comfortable when away. I will communicate with owners and send updates about their pets. I will also ensure that spaces are clean and the pets are attended to!
“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”
About: I’ve been working with animals all my life! I’ve worked in animal shelters and pet stores all around, and I’ve always had pets of my own. First thing I do every morning is walk, and feed the dogs. I make sure they’ve peed, pooped, and eaten breakfast, a walk midday, dinner and a walk afterwards. I work about 2 hour shifts very close to home so I won’t be gone for too long I will take pay close attention to your pets and carefully follow the instructions given to me to ensure their safety and happiness while you’re gone
“Shane and Brittany have been so great with me and my dog! I’m a worrier, especially when it comes to my dog, since she isn’t always a walk in the park. Shane and Brittany have been very patient with answering all my questions and giving feedback on Gucci’s daily walks. They have also been very attentive to Gucci’s needs. I couldn’t ask for better!”
“Casie is so great!! She gives great updates. I know my pupper gets great attention and love, and is well taken care of when Casie is with him. I would highly recommend her!!”

She is patient and followed our directions for Gabby's care extremely well. Gabby will be 12 in December and this was the first time we left her for an extended amount of time. The pictures and messages she sent assured us while we were away that Gabby had everything she needed and more! She didn't hesitate to ask questions and remembered to administer her Heart Guard medication on time. We highly recommend Alyssa to care for your pet!”
“Jaeda arrived on time for both the meet and greet and dog walk. She’s personable and took the time to get to know my pup a little better. She asked good questions about her habits and temperament. She was respectful of my home and pup!”

I’m so glad our path crossed because Michelle will definitely be our go to sitter for Simba!!”
“Very happy with the care of our baby 😁 Jay is really picky on who he takes medications from, and Jasimine was the exception. He was comfortable enough to trust her from the beginning (first time in 3 years since he has been comfortable with anyone right off the back!) Very pleased and happy with the care he received.”
“Many thanks to Steven for providing excellent care for our pup Cooper. This was our first time using Steven and Rover.com, and it couldn't have gone better. First, I really liked that Steven required a meet and greet w/ us so that he could evaluate and make sure Cooper would do well there. This was very important for me, also to meet and see Steven's personality and disposition w/regard to dog care. Needles to say, I was very pleased. Steven is very relaxed, knowledgable about dogs, and extremely experienced. Cooper is a smaller -- and as Steven put it, "velcro dog" with a little bit of anxiety, yet very adaptable. Steven quickly assessed this and helped Cooper transition quickly to enable him to have a relaxed and happy stay. I will definitely be using Steven again. Thank you Steven. Thank you Rover.”
“My husband and I used Shane and Brittany’s boarding services for a long weekend and would definitely recommend to anyone else who needs a sitter for their fur baby. Price was very reasonable, especially compared to big boarding facilities in the area. I was a bit worried as my dogs can be a little rambunctious and unpredictable but all the dogs got along great and had a good time. Shane sent many pictures to keep us in the loop. He reassured us that he would keep a close eye on Enzo and Mac as they like to escape/get into trouble. Overall, very pleased and will use them in the future.”
“Theresa was great with our puppy. Attention to details and great communication. She always kept us posted with messages and photos. Lulu loved her since the minute they met. Lulu seemed very happy when we picked her and even made new furry friends! I highly recommend her.”
