“This was our first time utilizing Tara and Katie. They were super quick to respond to my messages and were very accommodating to our last-minute request for care. Our Great Dane, Sampson, was well cared for the whole week we were gone. They sent us several pictures and updates, which was so nice! Sampson was happy and worn out upon his return home. We appreciate them taking such good care of our boy and treating him like one of their own! We will definitely utilize them again!”
“Megan and her kids were wonderful! She asked great questions to make sure our pets felt comfortable during the stay at her house. She sent videos and pictures to keep us feeling comfortable throughout the stay. Megan was also flexible with accommodating our schedule for drop off and pick up. I highly recommend her to watch your fur baby.”
“My dog lily had the best time with Brooke and Remy! She always provided updates on how she was doing through the day, typically multiple times a day, usually with some awesome edited pics or videos. Her updates were very detailed and you can tell she really cared for her. There was also plenty of toys and space to run around. She even had an extended leash outside so she could run around the backyard with Remy. It was also a good learning experience to see how she does with another dog. She was super helpful in letting me know any concerns and very knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of a puppy. It was far better compared to some other places and felt she learned more instead of regressing. Definately my best experience so far!!! :)”
“She has a great setup for dogs. Country setting and plenty of room. Very accomodating in the care of Holly. Holly was able to stay outdoors in the shade or sun and come inside at night. Thank you.”
“We left our cat with Valerie for 5 days while we were gone on a trip. My cat can be rather high maintenance plus she does not tolerate other animals well. Valerie and her family worked hard to accommodate my cat's particular needs and tried to make her as comfortable as possible, making sure she had her own space away from the household pets. They even gave her a nice grooming so my cat came home looking better than when she left! I checked in daily asking for updates and pictures and Valerie always sent them.”
“Brooke was OUTSTANDING with our pup! Daily updates with pictures, tons of lovings and cuddles, and plenty of walks while we were away. We brought home one very happy boy! I highly recommend her when you're in need of the best out there to take care of your fur baby!”
“Autumn was absolutely amazing! She took Hank on short notice and was able to accommodate him perfectly. She went above and beyond. She took Hank out with her often and let him hangout with her dog! I highly recommend her!”

“We just returned from a 10 day trip. Tara and Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we were gone. As the other times we've asked them to check in on the fur brothers, everything was seamless. Great communication and timing not to mention all the photos they provided. It is hard to trust people to come into your home as well as be responsible for you pets well being, but we've really lucked out with Tara and Kathryn 😻”
About: Hello! I bring lifelong experience with pets, having grown up surrounded by dogs and eventually convincing my way into adopting a couple of cats too. These days, my hands are full with three wonderful children, but I’d love to extend my care to your furry family members. Whether your pet thrives on energetic play like ball throwing or prefers a calm, soothing environment, I’m happy to tailor my approach to their needs. And of course—daily walks are part of the package! Although I work full-time during the day, I have plenty of time to care for your pets on weeknights and weekends. Whether it’s supervision, playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’m happy to be there for your fur babies. Pets in my care are treated like family. They have full access to my home and can enjoy a spacious backyard perfect for play, exploration, and exercise. Whether they love lounging indoors or running around outside, they’ll feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Emily was amazing! We used her cat drop in service in our home. This was our second time using rover to watch our 10 year old cat. Emily did a wonderful job. She provided pictures & detailed updates of the visit and most importantly to us, lots of cat cuddles. I cannot recommend her enough! I look forward to having Emily in our home for any future cat sitting. Thank you so much Emily!”
About: I have been working with animals since I was young. I currently have 7 dogs. I groom and work with many breeds. I am trusted with dogs and cats everyday for grooming now I would love to add in walking and pet sitting. I currently work part time which leaves me the flexibility in the afternoon and evenings to walk and care for other pets. I am also available for pet sitting on most weekends and after 2 pm the week days! I have dog friendly pups that come with me to keep other pups entertained while in your home. They can be kenneled as well if needed.
About: Most of my friends call me an animal whisperer. I love pets and always have. Born and raised on a farm, animals are not new to me. I am pretty well versed in loving animals, as well as caring for animals as they deserve. I am currently home full-time, loving on my own 50 lb. Aussiedoodle, Hans. Hans and I would love to offer our spare time in support of your pet needs. I also am a guinea pig mom to 9 special guinea pigs! Animals are the way to my heart, and I can always make time for one more. Although it doesn't specify caged animals, like guinea pigs, I am happy to pet sit, board, or help with daily care of your caged pets. I do not currently have a fenced yard, but I live on open acres set apart from any close neighbors. Leashes can be used outside of the home to provide ultimate safety and security for your pet. I am always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
About: I started my dog watching journey when I was about 16. I used to watch a friend's dogs whenever she was away. Even when she was at work when her older dog was ill. I have a kinship with dogs like no other. It's only in the last 5 years that I've developed that with cats as well. I have a flexible work schedule that can accommodate any needs you have. I will update my calendar as to my availability at least every 2 weeks. I can accommodate 1 or 2 dogs only on the weekends. But, in your home I will respect everything. I won't mess anything up and if I do I'll return it better than I left it.
About: Your pets needs and comfort are top priority! I am a huge animal lover and have owned animals of all different breeds my entire life. I currently own 2 bearded dragons, rabbit, Chinchilla, 3 cats, a husky and fish. I grew up helping out on my grandpa's beef farm and then milking cows at my neighbors. I have also done pet sitting for friends and family. I have worked at a petstore and helped out at a Vet clinic. I am always asked by friends and family to watch their animals, which I love. When sitting for someone else I treat their animals just like my own and give them tons of love and attention, I also enjoy taking pics or videos to share with the owners and keep them up to date on what is going on.
“Becky did an incredible job for our cat Suna. It was our first time leaving him alone for a weekend, but Becky made us feel at ease by going above and beyond and letting us know about the slightest changes in mood or behavior. She also spent a lot of time cuddling and playing with Suna and even washed his food containers. We could not be more happy. Becky, thank you so much and please come again!”
About: I am very playful with pets, they will have my full attention. They will get all the kisses and hugs they want. I will treat each pet as if they were my own. I am a very responsible person and if given the change you will see that. I just moved the Baltimore area and would like the opportunity to put my service to use and be the best furbaby babysitter of all time. Please allow for me to have the opportunity to show you how responsible, kind, and compassionate I can be with your pet. You will be able to get into contact with me whenever you need reassurance that your furbaby is doing well and is happy. Everyone is welcomed in my home I am available as needed I work from home so I am able to attended to all pet needs. A typical day with me includes lots of walks and treats I have a fenced back yard that the dogs are able to run around in. It is a big house so they are able to run around where ever
“5+ star review for Melissa! Reading previous reviews, I wasn't surprised that Melissa took such great care of my 2 kitties while I was away - she has an obvious talent for interacting with animals and seems to sincerely love her job. I was however a bit surprised by the extra level of professionalism Melissa brings to her service. Her communications are both timely and thorough and she expertly adjusted her care plan - on the fly - to accommodate some extra shy behavior from my younger kitten. Melissa's gentle patience won out in the end and I arrived home to 2 very content and stress-free fur babies. A truly perfect ending to my holiday weekend. I will most definitely reach out to Melissa for help again next time!”
“I’ve booked with Ms. Anita twice in the past couple of months—she’s always my number pick when I need my fur kiddo looked after. Ms. Anita is friendly, timely, very experienced. For as long as I live in this area, she’ll always be my preferred sitter.”

“My pup stayed for 12 hrs and had so much fun he was snoring before we left the drive. He’s deaf and Tara made sure he was comfy with the other animals and his space. Highly recommend!”
“Very last minute booking that she was very responsive to. She was flexible and patient in integrating her dogs, who Zuma loved. Zuma can be a nervous girl but Arianna really helped her feel comfortable. She's also great at training and her dogs are well behaved, which is helpful for a nervous dog like Zuma. I got lots of updates and pictures, she even took Zuma on a nice hike/run and she was well tuckered out after. An amazing price for the time and dedication she put into hosting Zuma. Will definitely use again if I'm in the area!”

About: I have had pets in my household for as long as I could remember. Growing up we had cats, dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and hermit crabs. In high school, I watched family and neighbors pets while they were away. In college, I got a job at a humane society. Here, I learned how to care for sick animals, administer medications, give vaccinations, treat fleas, remove ticks, take care of puppies and seniors, and much more to make sure all the animals were healthy. Also, I learned how to deal with aggressive and behavioral dogs/cats. Now, I have 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own. Most of them were rescues. I am currently a substitute teacher while I go back to school for my teaching degree. Days vary but typically I will be working 8 hours a day if I do get a job for the day. On weekends, I normally don’t have anything going on. I have a fenced in backyard that allows my dogs to run and use the bathroom. In the morning and at night, I take them for walks. In the afternoon, I take my GSP for a run. On weekends, we like to go to Sniffspots or hiking. In a clients home, I will take them for walks, play in the fenced in backyard if applicable, and sometimes with permission will take them hiking.

I have my own friendly pup who loves to play if he ever meets your fur baby. I can also crate your fur baby if you want me to when I leave!

“Jody did a great job with our 12 yr old dog. She went at Betsy’s pace and ended up doing a mile. It’s obvious that Jody loves dogs and truly cares about giving them a walk that matches their personality and ability. 😊”
