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.
“This was my first-time booking Blair, and I am so glad that I did! I was gone for 10 days, and she did an excellent job caring for my cat. She wrote detailed descriptions each day about how he was doing and sent those along with multiple photos. I looked forward to reading the updates each day and felt very reassured to know everything was going well. I would definitely use her again.”
“Joshua was wonderful, he was timely, communicative, and our shy kitty absolutely loved him. If you are looking for someone dependable who loves your pet he is the one!”
“This was our first time booking with Jenna but it will absolutely not be our last! She is absolutely lovely and was a pleasure to work with. She gave such great feedback and sent lots of pictures of our kitty, and went above and beyond, taking care of packages delivered, feeding our fish, and handling some unexpected mishaps left by the cat! We highly recommend Jenna!!”
“I would highly recommend Karenna! She immediately made my senior cat feel comfortable and loved. She was communicating with me throughout my trip and showed how much she cared.”
“Ashley does a great job of taking care of our senior cats. She does well with communicating with us when things pop up. She sends thorough reports with plenty of pictures of our cats. We have used her services before and both times her services have been great!”
“Excellent communication all the time, on the button My dog loves her….matter fact I’m home now and normally my dog Lexy would not go out with anybody if I was here. However, with Susan might Lexy gives her the respect she’s due and follows her without hesitation”
“Sam was amazing! We were pretty nervous about leaving our cats alone since w shave never used River before, but Sam made us so comfortable. Highly recommend if you are new to the app and want someone to trust! 🩷”
“Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!”
About: Hello! I am a veterinary technician of 8 years and pet owner of 20+ years who is highly experienced in animal care and petsitting. As a cat, horse, and previous dog owner myself I understand that our pets are our family! I look forward to meeting your fur baby!
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was a kid, from my own family cats to pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and regular pet-sitting clients. Growing up around animals taught me early that every cat has their own personality, boundaries, and way of communicating. I’m patient with shy or cautious cats, happy to give affectionate cats all the attention they want, and always take the time to learn their individual routines and quirks. It’s what makes them so special! I’ve even surprised many people I’ve catsat for by how much their shy kitties have warmed up to me, which is such an honor 🥹 Beyond feeding and litter care, I make sure cats get plenty of play, enrichment, affection (when wanted!), and company while their people are away. I know how particular cats can be, and I’m very comfortable letting them set the pace 😊
“Briana took care if 2 cats over a long weekend. The cats were very happy and home was clean and ordered. She even managed to get cute pictures of my elusive girls. Would definitely book again.”
“Katie took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long holiday weekend. She was very flexible and accommodating to the check in time I requested, followed all instructions, communicative and sent great pictures and updates. Will plan to book again for future visits!”
“Ashleigh always goes above and beyond what we’ve asked for our cats while on vacation. I always know they are in safe hands and in good company as they come out for her despite being shy sometimes. Couldn’t ask for anyone better. Thank you!”
About: I love cats and they are the funniest animals ever. I’ve owned a cat my entire my life so I know how unpredictable yet loving they can be. It’s important to me to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each cat’s unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to provide feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of affection.

About: While I may not have much professional experience I have owned a variety of pets my entire life from dogs and cats to bunnies and squirrels! I even interned at a veterinary office. I currently work a full-time job but I am looking to fill my time with pet care during the evenings after 4 and all day during the weekends. I am aware of dogs and cats body language and by understand them, I can better help support their needs. I can redirect when necessary and calm energetic behavior.
“Olga took such great care of my baby Remy! He is a very active dog and she took him on several walks and showed him so much love. He was totally exhausted when he came home and even slept in the next day, which I love. She was flexible too, as pickup details shifted during his stay. I would highly recommend Olga to anyone!”

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.

Loch Raven Reservoir is close to our home with many great trails. I have a fenced yard with a pool. I would not leave any dog alone in the yard, our neighborhood is great for walking. I will only take pets friendly to children.
“Tehya was super attentive to Major, sent multiple photos even during a short visit, and is genuinely so delightful!

I'll gladly turn to Tehya again in the future for caring for my old boy and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Emily was amazing! We did a meet and greet a few days before hand and then on the actual day, my dog remembered her and was so excited to be back. I was worried because he’s a bit of a Velcro dog but Emily said he slept behind her while she worked and spent some time outside with her dog as well playing. 10/10, I will book Emily and Patrick next time I need a sitter.”

“Shelby was so nice and helpful, she send me pictures about Pisco and treat him very well, and follow all my instructions to take care of him ✨ I’ll definitely call her again in the future if I need more help with my pup ! Thank you so much Shelby!”
“Michelle is excellent with our new dog who needed alittle extra TLC and more frequent stop ins. She is caring and an excellent communicator. We highly recommend her for dogs and cats!”
“Sam was highly reliable, showing up on time or texting us if she thought she might be a little late. Our beagle mix can be challenging on a walk because of her tendency to stop and sniff so many inviting smells in the grass. Sam just took it in stride. She obviously has a lot of experience walking dogs.”
“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!”
“Brian took great care of my girl, Lemon! He made sure the plan for Lem was super clear beforehand, which I especially appreciated since the schedule I gave him to complement my friend's visit schedule was not perfectly regular, and he didn't miss a visit! He also had to deal with a terrible cold spell, but when he couldn't walk Lemon for more than 5 minutes at a time (about all she can tolerate when it's that cold), he took her for two short walks to make sure she did all her business and then played ball with her in the house. We came home to a dog who, while happy to see us, was clearly doing just fine without us, which is all I can ask for :)”
“Christine was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t be happier. She responded quickly and communicated well at every visit. She sent me pics of my pup on every walk and my mind was at ease knowing she was getting taken care of with lots of cuddles!”
About: Growing up on a ranch, I cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, horses, and exotic animals—so very little surprises me! 😊 Pet sitting was actually my first neighborhood “business” as a kid, which tells you this has always been more passion than side gig. Being away from home for school these past few years, I’ve dearly missed caring for animals— so this is my way of staying connected to something I love. I’m a naturally curious person and take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routines so I can give them attentive, enriching care while you’re away. 😊 I’ll be working remotely for the foreseeable future, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care naturally into my day. I can accommodate different feeding and walking schedules, playtime, medication, check-ins, and plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since my work travels with me, I’m also flexible with longer stays and can be around much more than someone working outside the home. I know how important it is to trust someone not only with your pet, but with your home. I take both seriously and will follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine closely. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and secure. I’m also more than happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away😊
About: I have a senior Yorkie who I’ve been taking care of for years. Before I had her full time, I was trusted to keep her for nights and weekends. I work nights so all of my days are open. I have open day availability. I have some nights available throughout the week as well. I will pay great attention to your fur baby. Treats, company and love for your pet. If pet needs specific needs I am able to get it done

“Great and reliable dog walking. He is great with communicating and answering any concerns you have while away. My pup loves him, and Curtis seems to genuinely enjoy their time together as well. I would recommend Curtis 1000000%”
“Casey showed good reviews on Rover! I am happy to reinforce those reviews. Casey is a personable, knowledgeable, kind and caring person about dogs. She has had the privelidge of caring for my special friend because she has earned it and deserves high accolades. I am grateful for Casey in caring for my beloved Labrador. you can't go wrong with her care.”
About: I have had about 5 dogs in my life, all of different breeds. I love being around them, they are all sweet and unique in their own way! I am available during the weekends, as I do work through out the week. It allows me to properly focus on other tasks, such as taking care of pets. I can do walks, as I like to go on a daily walk myself. I would feed pets however many times they need to be fed.
About: Hi, I’m Nora! I’ve had four dogs and one cat throughout my life, all of which have sadly passed, but subsequently I have lots of animal care experience. Not only have I cared for my families pets, but I have been dog walking and pet sitting for neighbors, friends and family since I was around 10 years old.

I will follow your lead in the style of care that your pet needs, whether that’s giving it space or staying nearby at all times. I have dealt with many types of pets, such as aggressive ones, hyperactive, shy, skiddish, etc.
About: I've had cats since I was a child and love dogs. I've never owned a dog, but I love to spend time with them and give them the attention they need. I am experienced in giving cats liquid medication and pills. I can schedule walks, and check-ins usually anytime in the morning and then after 4 pm in the afternoon on weekdays and usually whenever on weekends. I love walking and with a dog, it's even better. I also love to meet new kitties and can handle medication administration if needed as well. Having cats most of my life has provided me with much joy and respect for animals. I provide my three cats with a litter robot, dry and wet food at meal times, two water fountains, and meds for one cat every day. I respect different pet's needs and comfort levels as well as the owners' wishes.
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats! I grew up in a home full of pets and currently have a cat of my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some quiet company, I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for your pet. I’d love to meet your pet and help care for them like one of my own! Though I work full time, caring for pets is a meaningful and enjoyable part of my daily life. I have a cat of my own whom I care for every day, so I’m familiar with the responsibility and joy that comes with pet ownership. I’m organized and flexible, making sure to dedicate quality time to provide attentive care, walks, and companionship for the pets I look after. I provide loving and attentive care for pets through house sitting and drop-in visits. I’m happy to care for your pets, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or simply companionship, I’m dedicated to keeping your furry friends happy and safe.

“Keiwana and her gorgeous family took amazing care of our 4 month old puppy Rosie. They were so kind and patient - Rosie made more than a few mistakes but they were so understanding and graceful about it. Keiwana also sent us so many great pictures of Rosie throughout the weekend! Rosie made some new friends with their sweet dog Bailey and two little girls, and she didn’t want to leave when we came to get her! (but when we did get back home, she was so tired and napped like an angel). We would most definitely use them again (but maybe when Rosie’s older so their beautiful house doesn’t get any more puppy damage!!) Thank you SO MUCH to Keiwana & family!!”

Thank you Ladies again and thank you Rover for your service.”

I really appreciate and recommend her! If possible I will definitely book with her again. I know Riley enjoyed herself as well!”
“Katarzyna took Excellent care of our Coco!! This was only our second time using Rover, after having an unpleasant experience two years ago with another sitter. We found Katarzyna to be very gentle, kind and highly communicative both leading up to and during Coco’s stay. She sent pictures and and videos and we were really happy to see that Coco seemed confortable and looked as if she felt right at home. Coco is a very active dog and Katarzyna was very patient with her. We do not often travel without Coco, but whenever the need arises, Katarzyna will certainly be our go to sitter!! Thanks again for taking such good care of Coco while we were away!”

We would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone they can trust to care for their pet!”
