“Carly is great! Our girl loves her! She is great with puppies. Mine is around 7 months and full of energy and she always gives her a good walk and exercise! We appreciate all she does!”
“Alaina was incredibly communicative and respectful. She took care of Enzo for a whole weekend and made sure I was updated in terms of where she took my baby Enzo and when she fed him/refilled his water. Overall, I 100% respect her for her services and trust her with any pet.”
“Tara was amazing! She stopped by our house twice a day to look after our dog and we got such detailed feedback after every walk. We also got awesome photos. She went above and beyond to set him up with his puzzle toy with treats and gave him lots of love. You can tell she really loves dogs! We’ve used rover many times and this has by far been our best experience. We’ll definitely be using Tara’s services again!”
“Priscilla has been watching Jake for almost a month now and she is great. Jake adores her, he loves walking and playing with her, and she takes great care of him. Priscilla communicates very well with me before and after she walks Jake, and she sends several pictures and video. She also asks a lot of questions about any special care or needs Jake might need. I can tell she really cares about Jake, and animals in general, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker/sitter”
“My dogs are usually wary of new people, but they loved Alexandra from the start. Alexandra is kind and reliable, and I highly recommend her. (But don’t steal her from my fur-kiddos!)”
“Jenny has been great with my dog Buddy! We've gotten into a routine with her coming by regularly and he is in such a better mood when I get home because he got to play with Jenny. She asks all the right questions and I know he's getting good care while I'm gone. Thank you, Jenny!”
“Mel is fantastic with Molly and Buz. She’s very flexible with my crazy schedule and ready to help with visiting family’s pets ranging from an American Lab to a couple of Boston Terriers. She also kept my plants going when I was unexpectedly out of town.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hermit crabs, various aquarium fish, and plants to the best of the owner’s instructions and rules. For over 10 years, I simply enjoy being around intelligent loving creatures as I hope they liked me. I am looking to fill up my available time with more companions who are looking to get tons of belly rubs and head scratches (if they prefer of course). I am actively constantly taking care of my roommate’s dog as she is frequently traveling for work and personal reasons. I usually have him 2-3 weeks of a month, about half the year. If not, I drop in and feed/walk/scoop out my neighbor’s pet(s).
About: Experience working at a doggy day care as a contract worker and tons of life long experience with personal dogs. 5 years experience of looking after pets for others! I am fully home focusing for my June LSAT, so I have tons of time to give your pet all the attention they deserve! I am also an early bird so if your pet is at mine, we will get some fun morning yoga in and all the long walks for a healthy workout :) I have the same energy even when I come for just daily routine visits and more. My house is a family of four so tons of supervision! I make sure to almost always have pets in my sight when supervising for everyones safety. I make sure to follow every protocol listed by owner. Additionally, when dog boarding at my house, rest assure your fur baby will get all the loving as I have a younger sister whose responsible and loving energy attracts all the fur babies! So do not worry, your pet will have me, my sister and my house to relax and play at :)
About: I've owned dogs since I was 12 years old, from puppies to a 16 year old which needed extra care. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and have a large fenced in yard. I'm able to walk dogs as requested and needed with no issues. I've watched friends and families' dogs when asked to. When you leave your dog(s) with me, they become a part of our family. I'm home each and every day. I have a dog of my own, a husky mix that is dog and people friendly. As long as I'm not away I'm available to care for your dog as if it was my own. I have a large fenced in yard and one dog, a husky mix, who is dog friendly and loves to play. She is crate trained herself but spends more time out of her crate than in it. My neighborhood also has plenty of sidewalks to walk dogs and as long as weather permits I go on at least one long walk per day with my dog.
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!
About: Working Knowledge of dogs behaviour; training life skills(preparing puppies for life, walking problems, fears); activities as chasing the ball, treat hunt, high jump, relaxation and more. Pet care typically fits into a daily routine by incorporating feeding times, dedicated playtime or exercise sessions, bathroom breaks (like walks for dogs), and brief moments of interaction throughout the day. Beginning and end a day with my pet: morning/evening walks, playtime, feeding. Our own routine: give everything dogs need to be happy while walking, and they can feel calm and satisfied at home.
About: What sets me apart is the deep, personal connection I’ve had with dogs throughout my life. I’ve had the absolute privilege of sharing my home and heart with three incredible Boxers over the span of 18 years. They weren’t just pets—they were family, best friends, and constant sources of love, laughter, and companionship. That kind of long-term experience teaches you so much—how to truly understand a dog’s needs, read their body language, and provide care that’s both nurturing and reliable. I know what it’s like to want someone who will love and protect your dog just like you would. When your dog is with me, they’re not just being watched—they’re being cared for with the same warmth, attention, and respect I gave my own. Every dog is special, and I treat them that way. I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. "As a teacher on summer break, I have plenty of free time to focus on caring for your pup! My flexible schedule allows for walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of personalized attention every day." Your pet’s comfort and safety come first! I treat your home like my own—with care and respect—and follow your pet’s routine to a T. Lots of love, belly rubs, and photo updates guaranteed!

Benedicta G.
“Bene has done a great job watching my little pup whenever I’m out of town, sometimes for a weekend, sometimes for a week. She’s learned how he plays and recognizes when he just wants to rest and snuggle. My dog is also reactive so she’s learned to adapt with avoiding his interactions with other dogs while walking him. She is very loving toward my lil pup.”

Jeremy S.Star Sitter
“Jeremy loves dogs. Plain and simple. When Jeremy and I started dating, one of the first stories he shared with me was about the dog he had growing up. He had so much love for Sweeper that he wrote an essay about him for his high school English class that he proudly saved as a memento. When we bought our house, the first thing he wanted was a dog. We loved Sugar for 16 sweet years, until she passed in 2024. We got Iris, our second dog, in 2020, and Jeremy is definitely her favorite human. They love taking walks and playing together. When it comes to taking care of dogs, Jeremy strikes the right balance between discipline and fun.”

Myacks adores Jaicy and looks forward to her walks every day. Jaicy is great with Macks even though she is not the best trained and can be a real strong puller when she forgets her leash manners around other dogs/runners. Jaicy gives great updates and takes great care of our baby girl.
