Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tilghman
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Tilghman
“My fur baby had a wonderful time with Kelly and her family. Kelly shared plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day, which I appreciated. She took wonderful care of my pup. Kelly is so kind and sweet, we'd definitely use her services again!”
“ALL THE STARS!! 100% This is the 2nd time Lori has watched our rescue dog, Luna Lovegood (LuLu), only this time it was 12 days, not 4. Luna has always been timid and didn’t know how to play. Lori has a very gentle and kind dog CoCo (or was pet sitting CoCo also), and by the end of the trip they were playing everyday — Lori sent videos and I couldn’t believe my eyes!!! I may have teared up a bit!! Lori sent out countless photos and videos. She also never put Luna in her room (kennel) and Luna was allowed to sleep on her bed, CoCo’s bed, the couch, etc. Please believe this is a VERY pet friendly home, absolutely wonderful with great energy. Luna hesitated to go in on this 2nd time, but the second she saw/realized it was Lori, she was wagging her tail and VERY happy — she didn’t even say goodbye to us!! That says so much to me!! Again, Lori sent to many videos showing my Luna coming out of her shell and reassuring us that she was okay, which I always need and love!! To know your pet is okay while you’re so far away is a blessing and makes vacation SO MUCH MORE RELAXING! I didn’t have to worry about LuLu, but in the end, I worried she wouldn’t want us back!! Hahahaha!! This is so much better than putting your dog in a kennel. I 100% recommend Lori, she works with your needs, your pets needs, she is 100% involved in communication and updates. She is very easygoing and goes with the flow, if you need something, she will do it! I will NEVER schedule another vacation, until I know Lori is free to watch our beloved Luna. I 100% recommend. SO SO SO much better than any Kennel or doggy daycare. Lori provides love and kindness and understanding and all our doggies need that. Thank you Lori and Rover!!!!”
“Pax was extremely excited to stay with Denise (and Andy!) He ran to her front door and couldn’t wait to go see his friend. When we picked him up, he was happy and definitely well-cared for!”
“Shuling is a wonderful sitter. She sent photos everyday and my dog looked very happy at her house. I'm so happy we can rely on Shuling to provide our pup with a safe, warm and relaxing place when we are out of town!”
“Michelle took great care of Winston and sent daily photos so we could see what he was up to! He came home a tired puppy from playing with his new friends all weekend!”
“Nikki was very responsive and sent picyures throughout my trip. My pup even had accidents. Thats right i said accidents with an s! And she was so sweet about it. My pup came home happy and i felt at easy the entire time. One less thing to worry about. I will rebook and i recommend you check her out if you need a dog sitter!”
“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.”
“What a delightful time Ginger had, with this lovely family. Carlie was attentive, flexible, and like a second home while I was away. I will definitely be returning.”
“Elizabeth is attentive to Maddie. She communicates with me daily about and sends photos. I highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking for a personable, loving, caring and attentive sitter. Elizabeth is a gem.”
“I appreciate the confidence you have given me through your service. I get to go away for work or vacation with absolutely no stress or worries for my pup's care. Truly, he probably likes his vacation too! He's not as excited coming home as he is when he's going. But I guess we're all like that when it comes to vacations.💯”
“Katelyn provided the most amazing care for our puppy!! He was spoiled with multiple walks, many treats, and tons of snuggles while we were away for a long weekend. He became friends with their sweet husky as well. Can’t wait for him to stay with her family again soon!! Thank you!!”
“Mady is always a joy to work with! Kiko gets so excited to go over to her house and play with Bandit which is a testament to Mady’s care and attention! Kiko can’t wait to go back!”
“Bianca is the absolute best! My dog Amelia instantly feels at home with her. And she contacts me with any issues that arrive immediately, as well as, sends me picture updates.”
“I couldn't be happier! Their communication was excellent, with regular updates and a genuine understanding of my dog's needs. My pup came home happy and well-cared for; I highly recommend their services! 🌟🐾”
“Lindsay was great, as well as her family. She provided pictures and responded quickly with any questions. I would definitely recommend and use her in the future! You can leave your pet without worry!”
“Lynette and Vincent took such great care of our pup while we traveled, as they do each time. Love the photo updates throughout the day! It is a blessing to have a safe and loving second home for our furbaby and to know he's in great hands when we are away.”
“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.”
“I am so happy I found Donna. Donna is amazing! She treated my fur baby Pixie as if she was her own. Donna kept me up to date daily with pictures and videos. I can tell Pixie was so happy with Donna. She is genuine and has great energy. She is a dog lover! This is my first time using the rover app. Pixie looked so sad driving home leaving Donna. I look forward to many more stays for Pixie with Donna. Thank you so much, words cannot express how appreciative I am, you took such great care of Pixie. 🫶🫶🫶”

Cat caregivers near you - Tilghman
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.
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.
“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.”
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.
“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: 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 :)

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tilghman
“She went above and beyond. Taking great care of our precious puppy George Bailey. It was a great relief to have someone watching him during the heat wave. She went above and beyond to help. Would book again and recommend.”
“Meeting Stephanie for the first time was great. We are new to the area and she welcomed us to Oxford. Stephanie made our dog Bella feel comfortable to her house,yard and her dog before we left her. This was a great experience for us in such a short notice.”
About: I’ve had dogs and horses for my whole life, and I have experience with all types of animals like donkeys and goats! I’m a pre-vet student looking for more animal time! I’m an undergrad student looking to help out when I’m on breaks or have free time at school! Also available during the holidays if you’re planning on going out of town and can’t take your pet! I have a fully fenced in yard and one sweet, small dog at home! But I can divide the house and keep them separated if necessary. I love all breeds and even nervous pups!
“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!”
“Can’t thank Sydney enough for a wonderful day at her home for Aurora! Everything was perfect, with plenty of room to run outside and enjoy the outdoors. Even made a new friend! Can’t wait to be back again soon.”
“Brittany provided in-home doggy daycare for 4 consecutive days for my beagle pup. She’s very flexible with hours and great with communication and progress reports for your pup throughout the day. Also, she has a huge backyard for exercise and has dogs and cats to socialize with. Prior to doggy daycare, we stopped by to introduce the pup to the fam and Brittany inquired about pet likes, dislikes, any special needs, etc. Next time I’m looking for a sitter, Brittany will be my go-to!”
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!
“Thank you, Jessica. It was a relief to have my older pup in such loving, capable hands. Thank you for sending photos along throughout the day. It helped take my mind off of my surgical day.”
About: Hello, I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16. Mainly my own and my neighbors animals. I have had nothing but good reviews from them all! I currently do online school and am home all the time because of that. This leaves a lot of quality time I can spend with your animals. I have a single dog at home that is very friendly to keep your doggies company. If you have specific needs for your animals then I will make sure to follow them no matter what.
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 taking care of dogs and cats for the last 6 years. I have had to feed, walk, scoop litter boxes, give medicine, and give ALL of my attention to them :) I have had a dog all of my life and have been around animals every single day. I will care for your for baby like my own. I will send pictures/videos to make you feel like you are there watching them :) I do have a full-time job, but it is remote, so I am very flexible. I do not have assigned hours, so I am able to care for your animal at any point of the day, whether be walks, or just stop in to say hey and play for a while! I will be able to care for your fur baby at your house making sure everything is cleaned up and safe for your animal. I am very accommodative and if you need or want anything else done just let me know!
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, from birth to the end. I have given medication also, so if you have an animal with medical needs, I can handle them. I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available weekdays and weekends, whatever suits your schedule. I have a fenced yard for your dogs. I can care for cats in my home. Whatever your needs are for your pets, I can handle them.

About: I have been caring for cats and dog since I was a freshman in high school and have pet sat for several families! I have taken care of all different breeds from small to big and young to old! Whether it’s just a quick feed, playtime, administering medicine, or overnight care, I will make sure your pet feels loved, safe, comfortable, and cared for! I currently work at a produce stand working about 5 days a week! My schedule however is extremely flexible as I get to choose the days I want off. I also work with other girls my age that pet sit and we are able to leave when needed to provide care! In my home, we have a nice sized backyard where I am able to play catch and I also live in a large neighborhood where I walk everyday and can exercise with your pet! I also have a clean house if your pet is indoors!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Tilghman
“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!”

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.
About: Loving family for your furry friend. Walks and tummy rubs. We are located in the perfect walkabout town with beaches, dog park, and open spaces. Know that your furry family member will be well cared for in our home. Last minute or scheduled in advance. We accept them big and small. We just lost our beloved Zoey, our little shichon. If your pet prefers to chill alone there is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Stop by today for a meet and greet. We are a small family. We at the periwinkle bungalow in Oxford are at your service to make your life on the shore swell! I work from home. We like quiet mornings doing the crossword puzzle, usually cooking something yummy. We spend most of our time in the open kitchen living room space. Small home and pets are allowed everywhere except on my bed. Big yard and proximity to everything in a very quaint little town by the water. Our cats live upstairs on their own floor when we have guests, so no worries.

My hours are not necessarily tied to a desk or computer either, so I am able to do walks freely throughout the day. Depending on the customers request, I am able to accommodate most housing accomodations. There is a room specifically designated in the house for the pet for the duration of the stay, which has toys, beds, food and water as well as a TV. it’s also a daybed for me as well so that I am able to stay in the room with your pet. My backyard is large and it’s open, however I will be keeping pers on-leash anytime they are outside.

As an overly protective dog mom, finding someone who cares for your pup as much as you do can be challenging. However, I can confidently say that Marta loves our dog just as much as we do. We have complete trust in her, and her professional-quality pictures not only keep us informed but also make us miss our pup even more—they are so cute! If you're in search of an exceptional sitter for your pup, look no further. Marta is, without a doubt, the best choice. We highly recommend her!”
