Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tilghman
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Tilghman
“I will forever be a repeat client of Kelly and Maurice. They are so reliable! Not only does your dog feel cared for while at their home, but they are super responsive, friendly, courteous and send numerous pics and videos throughout the day.”
“We are very pleased with Shuling as she is very friendly and easy to work with. Our dog gets excited when we arrive at her house. Leia runs to her front door without even looking back to see where we are.”
“Michelle has been caring for our dog, Lucy, for years now... and we have been nothing but pleased with her loving care for Lucy, her great communication, and dependability. Lucy loves her vacations with Michelle, and we always feel 100% confident in the care we know she will receive. Definitely 5 stars in every area!”
“My dog Moon loved his visit with Denise and her dog Andy. Decent size fenced in yard for play, which my dog loved. Updates and pictures were sent. Moon even ate his food while there which he rarely does even for his normal sitter. I should mention she is very accommodating. I was a last minute request and my hours for pickup and drop-off were odd. Would definitely use Denise again.”
“After a meet and greet we decided to do an overnight trial and our dog loved it! The whole family is very warm and inviting and our dog felt at home the moment he walked in the door. Their house has a nice fenced in backyard as a plus. We have already booked our summer vacation and plan on booking other trips as well. Very happy to have found such a perfect fit.”
“Lori is always so considerate of owners and shares pictures, videos, and frequent updates or our pets. We will continue to use her services, as she is an amazing caregiver!”
“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and it was absolutely wonderful! We have an older dog and she is both blind and deaf and Katelyn took such good care of her. She welcomed her into her home and treated her as if she were her own. Her communication was great. We received pictures/videos/updates several times a day. We will definitely use Katelyn again and highly recommend her!”
“Liz was wonderful with my dog over the weekend, providing attentive care and updates. I returned to a happy and well-cared-for pup. Would definitely trust her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover so we were nervous about leaving our fur baby with a Stanger in their home. Well Mady met and exceeded our expectations! We have a 96 pound Rottweiler and Mady loved on her and she enjoyed spending time with their dog Radar! She has a clean and spacious fenced in back yard and also took Stormy on nice walks! There were also toys there to keep Stormy occupied and happy. Mady followed our instructions exactly as it relates to her care. She sent pictures and videos which kept us from worrying! We highly recommend Mady, it’s clear this is not just a business for Mady, she truly has a love for dogs!”
“Brittany and her family were fantastic! Mocha and Luna had an absolute blast, and we could tell for days after that they had plenty of play time. Will use again in future if available!”
“Jen and her husband were the BEST! We had a rocky start with Bronx adjusting to the change, but after day 1, it seemed everything fell into place. Jen sent pictures and updates and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to care for your fur baby like it’s their own.”
“Lindsay, did a great job taking care of my dog and sent me pictures every day keeping me informed on how my dog was doing. I would highly recommend using Lindsay to take care of your dog. I was very pleased. Congressman Bill Sarpalius”
“Bianca took such wonderful care of our dog! This was our first time having a sitter and she was very reassuring and responsive. She's very communicative and made sure to plenty of take photos, which I appreciated. Her whole family made Kiki feel at home, with lots cuddles!”
“Lynette and Vincent went above and beyond for our senior dog. They showed so much compassion and kept us updated. Thank you! Our younger pup always loves playing with Simon and friends during his stay.”
“Sabrina was great with my dog. She provided regular photo and video updates that provided me extra comfort that he was in good hands while I traveled. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Moose had the best weekend with Shelby and her pup! It’s always nerve wracking when you leave your pet for the weekend but Shelby made us feel so comfortable by sending photos and treating Moose like her own. Highly recommend her to watch your fur baby!”
“Vy provides a safe, loving, and enriching home for our dog to feel comfortable while we are away. We had flight complications while traveling and she was very accommodating alleviating any additional travel stresses related to our dog’s care.”

Cat caregivers near you - Tilghman
About: I've taken care of cats for the past 18 years, both my own pets and also with fostering stray and trap-neuter-release of feral cats when I lived in New Jersey. I am very comfortable caring for all breeds and have experience with delivering medications and grooming.
About: I worked with the Blue Ridge Humane Society, caring for cats, kittens and other pets. I was able to feed them, entertain them, scratch them if they like — and learn a lot of different cat behaviors. I’d love to bring my skills to your own loving furry babies.
“As a spur of the moment idea, that I had heard about through a friend in CA, I contacted Rover and had a good, instant, comforting response. The care giver was great and did send picures and I was very comforted. Thanks to her.”
“Brante cared for our three furbabies (cats) like they were her own! I felt completely at ease leaving my cats for a couple days, knowing they were in good hands! They received lots of extra attention and cuddles 😊”
About: Before joining Rover I mainly provided my services through word of mouth. I have experience with providing basic medical care for dogs and cats, and training experience including potty training and easing separation anxiety. I have vast experience and knowledge on various breeds and their specific needs, and really just love being able to have the time and availability to be able to provide these services. They say a dog is a man’s best friend, but in my case, a dog has always been a woman’s best friend! I offer dog sitting, walking, training and boarding at my home as well. I am brand new to the app but I do have plenty of references and want to make all owners feel just as comfortable as I want to ensure their pets will feel with me! I currently work a part-time job from my home, so I have a flexible schedule and able to meet any needs your pet has. I am available everyday, all hours mainly, and can accommodate you and your pets schedule! In my home all pets are welcome. I have plenty of walking trails and a back yard for pets that stay at my home. I typically will customize the walks, food, bathing etc depending on the needs of the pet and what works best for them and the owner.
About: Hello! My name is Kimia & I am currently a student enrolled at Towson University. In my free time I tend to pet sit & house sit for friends and friends of friends … This app broadens my scope to more potential jobs! I have years of personal experience as I’ve had my fair share of pet ownership at my family home growing up. I’ve grown up with dogs , cats , hamsters , birds … you name it. Growing up I would walk my neighbor’s golden retriever for her, his name was Smitty! Professionally I have experience being paid to dog sit while house sitting varying from a few days to a few weeks at a time. I’m currently unemployed as a college student however I am always free to pet sit. I enjoy doing it so I love making time for any opportunities that pop up for me! I am free everyday and can fit pet care into my schedule easily. I will follow whatever guidelines you provide for me while pet sitting in your home! You let me know what your expectations are and I will comply :)

“Laura did a great job with Beau- we did our first doggy day care with her. She has 3 other dogs of her own- I think Beau enjoyed playing with some (all?) of them. She sent pictures and was very responsive and flexible with timing. I appreciated it!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now, through my friends, family, neighbors and my own 2 puppies! I’m a college athlete who’s very active, so I’m happy to run/play and keep energetic dogs exercised while also making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, caring for my own two dogs! However, I’m a college student now, who lives an hour away from home, but I’m back for weekends and have plenty of free time to care for pets! I provide a safe, fun environment for pets. I have a fenced yard for running around outside, and two friendly dogs who would love to make friends! I closely supervise pets and will follow all instructions/special requests strictly from owners!

About: Hi there! My name is Stacia and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am a dog owner too! Remi is a 2 years old, playful, dark yellow lab. He is fixed. I’m familiar with ensuring the environment is right for your dog. I previously owned a dog with high anxiety and wasn’t friendly with strangers. I understand the importance of making sure your guidelines for your pet are followed. I can give oral medications, follow your training rules, walk large dogs, handle dogs that aren’t friendly with strangers, high anxiety, and have disabilities (ex. Deaf, blind). These dogs are our best friends so I promise to take great care of yours :) If you have any additional questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to chat or meet prior to booking to ensure I am a good fit for your pup! I believe in open communication to ensure the safety of you, your pet, me and mine. I work fully remote and am able to support daycare and boarding. I usually walk my dog morning, mid day and evening for 30 min to an hour at a time. I’d like to be able to support other people who need assistance. During the week your dog won’t be left alone for more than an hour depending on drop off and pick up time. During the weekend your dog won’t be left longer than 3-4 hours depending. We can always communicate your dogs specific needs to accommodate! I have a fenced yard in our home and a friendly, playful 2 year old male lab (fixed). If your dog is in my home, they do need to be friendly with other dogs. During the week I do work full time so there are times where I am in meetings so it is preferred your dog is not destructive or is okay in a crate or enclosed room during meetings. I do make sure the dogs are exercised before and after. I communicate my anticipated work schedule and plan for the day with the pet owner.

About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have grown up with cats, dogs, and horses my whole life and have loved every moment of it. I started pet sitting for clients in my late twenties and really enjoy doing it. I have helped take care of cats, dogs, horses, and chickens (I know crazy!). They have ranged through all of the age groups. Clients seem to like me and have repeatedly asked me pet sit/house sit for them. Your pets are in great hands with me :) I am currently working full time, Monday through Friday from 8:00-5:00 but am available on the weekends. I am more than happy to stay at your house during the week but just know that I will be away from your animal during my work day but I can, if needed, go back to your house on my lunch break to take your dog for a walk or take care of any medication administration. I will usually ask you your pet's routine. When does he/she get fed in the morning? When do they go for their walk? Do they like playing outside? Favorite toy? When is dinner? I will stick to that routine so that your pet feels comfortable and happy when you are away. I will always ask if you need me to do anything around your house as well. I will water your plants for you, take out the trash/recycling, or get your mail. I am very tidy and will never leave a mess after I leave.
“Ruby came back so sleepy! Exactly what I want from an hour walk. Bridget asks good questions and gives you updates about how your dog is doing. She is very aware of her surroundings and making sure Ruby is able to have her best walk. Ruby is afraid of cars and kids- I heard Bridget praise and redirect Ruby when encountering a scary thing. She really cares about my dog and it is noticeable. 10/10- highly recommend!”
