“Nikki was very communicative and responsive the entire 5 days I was away. She was willing to switch up the already complicated feeding schedule for my kitten when he had GI issues right before I left. My 2 kitties were obviously well cared for & happy while I was away.”
“Tara was awesome. She sent pics and updates. And when I returned, I could tell my cat enjoyed spending time with Tara. He was happy and relaxed and not upset at all that I had been gone. I will definitely book Tara again on future trips.”
“Clarice did a flawless job taking care of our pets. She sent videos and pictures each day and just showed exceptional care for them. 10/10 recommend Clarice!!!! We will be asking for her again!!”
“Although I ended up having to cancel my trip so Ashley/Olivia didn’t end up doing the drop in visits, Olivia was great at the drop-in visit I scheduled before our trip! My chinchillas took to her immediately. Gus, our fiestiest boy, happily accepted cheek scritches from her and another one of my chins even let her pick him up :) That says a lot about how she interacts with animals because as prey animals, trust doesn’t come easily to chinchillas. She also asked a lot of important questions about their care which I appreciated. She was super responsive and flexible about when I came to pick up my key from her. I would feel at ease with her taking care of my pets the next time I need care for them!”
“Mel was great with my cats and looked like they were having lots of fun playing with her. She was very patient with me about changing the schedule at the last time a few minutes. Please use the card you have on file for her tip of $45.00 or do I enter it myself? Thanks again for everything. Sincerely, Joan Shobe”
“Samuel was really laid back in our visit and Pudge our pug puppy seemed really happy in the pictures he sent. I left him a note with any changes and he addressed all the changes. We really appreciate his flexibility, ability to take care of active puppy, and his prices! Definitely rebooking!”
“Thank you Jessica, when we got home today the kitties seem very happy and taken care of. thank you for doing everything we asked of you. We look forward to having you take care of our kitties again in the future. If that’s OK with you. Thankyou Karen &Gene”
“Alexandra was awesome with my cats! Even my scaredy-cat warmed up to her by the end of their time together. It was the first time in a looooong time I'd been away from the kitties, so the pictures Alexandra sent were much appreciated and made me feel OK about being away. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Priscilla is the best! She is very communicative and punctual during her visits and sends lots and lots of photos. I felt very at ease leaving my kitties in her care and they loved her too!”
“Kaitlin did a phenomenal job with our furry ones. Great communication, did everything the way asked and even did little things to make sure we knew everything was being taken care of. From the check in photos to seeing how our doggos were treating her we knew she was taking wonderful care of them. 100% recommended and will definitely come back to her the next time we might need anything.”
“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.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors since I was about 9 years old. I have been responsible for feeding, bathing, walking their pets & administering medication when necessary. I have experience training dogs at various ages & a wide range of breeds. I have training experience including but not limited to, crate training, potty training, leash training, etc. I have taken care of dogs as small as Shih Tzus to as large as Rottweilers, so I am comfortable around dogs of various sizes. I was the primary care taker for our family's' 2 senior dogs; being sure to give them around the clock access to the bathroom as well as being punctual with any and all medications. My pet care experience is not limited to dogs alone I have cared for cats for friends & family for 4 years. Feeding, playing, changing/cleaning litter & administering medication when needed. I adore all animals and ensuring your pet is loved, safe, and cared for is my top priority. I work 8am-5pm in Elkridge, MD. I have plenty of evening and early morning availability. Depending on location, I am available during lunch breaks for any midday walks/feedings. I want to ensure the pets comfort is the priority. Keeping their routine and providing a loving space while their family is away. Both cats and dogs of any age need ample amount of exercise & affection; even the most independent of animals!
“Kerry has done “drop ins” for my cats/I numerous times. My cats love her and I so appreciate her pictures and updates - makes it so much easier to be away from my babies for an extended period of time. She’s very trustworthy and incredibly kind. Highly recommend!”

Catherine was amazing with our shy cat Mila. She checked on her and listened to everything we asked. She also sent the cutest pictures and it was great to see Mila happy and comfortable while we were away. I absolutely recommend Catherine and will be using her again in the future!
