“This is our first experience using a dog walker with Rover and we are very pleased with Destiny! We needed someone to walk our dog 3 times a day for two days. She arrived on time for all 6 walks and sent pictures of each walk. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: Hi! My name is Shannon and I have been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old, but have been a dog owner my whole life. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. In addition I have cared for senior dogs with extensive medical conditions, so I am very comfortable providing medication according to your and your dogs schedule.

I love sending frequent updates and pictures so you can still be in touch with your dog! When with your pets, they will have my undivided attention and care!

“Sara did an amazing job with my Bulldog Phil. He can be a handful sometimes and she did an amazing job making sure everything went smoothly. You can tell she really cares about animals. Definitely will be using her services again!”

About: I used to work for a family that had a young high energy golden retriever and it was the best! I was able to provide the needs the family asked me for which included walking him, feeding him, giving him attention, and putting him in the kennel for bed. They also had a cat and I was able to care for her too, so I have experience with working with 2 animals at once. On top of that, I also have a cat and a dog of my own so I am very used to being with animals in the home and providing proper care for them. I am a college student who is home for the summer, and I am currently unemployed so I am extremely flexible! I would like to prioritize being a caregiver for pets before I go back to school to save some money for college. I am able to offer whatever care is needed for your animals. I am extremely flexible when it comes to pet owners expectations and needs, so that everyone is satisfied and happy!

About: I have had one cat and many dogs in my lifetime. I believe that dogs truly are mans best friend. My aunt is also an avid dog lover which is where I learned how much I enjoy caring for dogs. She has five dogs that are all varying in needs. Some need medicine every day, some can never be left alone, and some need a certain prepared type of food. I am comfortable with and have experience taking care of dogs with special needs, disorders, and disabilities. I also currently have two dogs of my own that are very different, one is an energetic 2-year-old who loves to play and be outside and the other is a very laid back 8 year old who prefers to sit inside and sleep. I love all animals alike and would be so happy to meet some new furry friends. I'm currently working part-time for the summer so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I'm available for walks, daycare, and overnight stays! I have experience with animals of all different energy levels and needs. I am vigilant and communicative with owners about their pets and will always keep you updated!

“I highly recommend Vanessa. We had an emergency situation and Vanessa immediately responded to our request for a dog walker and was to our house within 30 minutes. She kindly sent us the most adorable pictures of her with our dog. He clearly enjoyed his time with her. She was a lifesaver and so kind to our dog!!”

About: I’ve had experience with all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am comfortable walking dogs, feeding, and giving medication if needed. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and feel that it is important to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. I work part time at home through out the week with a flexible schedule, so I will be available when needed. During the summer I am available any day of the week. I am willing to take on last minute pet sitting jobs, but I would prefer to know ahead of time! Pets need safe and comfortable environments. Whether out on a walk or at home, I will make sure your dog is supervised and treated with patience and kindness.

“Jaeda arrived on time for both the meet and greet and dog walk. She’s personable and took the time to get to know my pup a little better. She asked good questions about her habits and temperament. She was respectful of my home and pup!”

About: Hi! I’m Stan — a lifelong dog and cat owner turned pet sitter based in Ellicott City, Maryland. I’ve spent my whole life around animals and caring for them has always come naturally. Whether it's a long walk with a pup or some quality playtime with a curious cat, I truly enjoy every moment spent with our furry companions. Although I’m new to Rover, my years of hands-on experience speak for themselves. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give your pet the same level of care and attention they get at home. I can provide pet sitting reviews from pet owners that I have provided services too outside of the Rover Platform. Working from home so I can visit your home during the day or care for your pet at my home. If you need a place to take your pet I have plenty of room at my single family home. Looking for pet sitting and house sitting in the Ellicott City and Columbia Maryland area. As a pet sitter, I make it my priority to ensure every dog and cat in my care feels safe, loved, and at home. I’m home most days, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay. I have a cozy house with space to play and comfy couches for cuddles—furniture is never off-limits here! I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, as well as all kinds of cats, including hairless breeds like the Sphynx. Whether your pet is energetic or laid-back, I adjust to their personality and needs. Long walks are no problem for pups who need more exercise, and I’m happy to visit the dog park if they’re friendly with other dogs. A stroll through the local park is also on the menu. My goal is to keep every pet in my care active, happy, and stress-free while you're away

“Pamela is very nice and good with my dog. He took to her right away, definitely recommend!”

About: As an experienced pet sitter and cat owner, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. By having my own pet I understand the need for patience, attention to detail, and maintaining routines. I provide compassionate care tailored to each pets needs and personality, treating every animal as if they were part of my own family. Im am currently working part time and at most work three times a week. This allows me to have a lot of availability to care for your animals! I care for pets in clients homes by following their normal routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I also give regular updates to owners and make sure the pets get plenty of love when their owners are away.

“Sophia was fantastic! She has a soothing and calm presence that put both Nuka and I at ease. Care instructions were followed faithfully and I can tell my doggo had a great time. I highly recommend Sophia and hope to book Nuka with her again next time we travel.”

Alyssa C.

About: I am reliable and trustworthy! I have worked closely with families for 5 + years, walking their dogs daily and house sitting and caring for their beloved pets while the owners traveled. I am available daily, mornings, afternoons and evenings, I just ask for 24-hr notice so I can plan accordingly! I am happy to walk them for atleast 15-20 minutes so they can stretch their legs and get out some energy! I also am happy to feed them for their routine meals if you are unable to do so. I am comfortable walking your dog if there is a safe space to do so, or playing with them in your fenced in yard, it is what you are comfortable with.

“Natasha is a great dog walker. She is very sweet and did a great job with my dog. My dog came back very happy and tired. I would definitely recommend Natasha for dog walking.”
