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

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.

“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!!”

“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.

“Naedra helped us out last minute. She was super easy to communicate with. She took great care of our puppy, taking him on two walks each day. She sent pictures and filled us in on everything. We really appreciated her helping us and will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve lived in in a household with multiple dogs and cats my whole life. Experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages/needs, including disabilities and special needs such as diabetes and paralysis. Trusted by neighbors and community members to care for dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits for 8+ years. I’d love to meet your furry family! I am a part-time student and worker, so I have plenty of time to stop by and cuddle up and go on adventures with your furry family! I am available to check in on your pet every 4 hours, and am easily able to stay at your home for 7 days plus if your furry family would love the extra company. I maintain a calm, relaxing environment for your pets, especially those who are shy and need some time to warm up. I am easily able to crate dogs of all sizes, and I create a comfortable and fun environment to to play with and cuddle all pets.

About: It can be so stressful trying to find someone to care for your furry loved one(s) while you’re away; I would love to make it easier for you! I’m an animal lover through-and-through (if you’ve seen it I’ve probably thought about wanting to make friends with it) and I was a dog owner for many years to Samwise, a sweet miniature dachshund. Though I do not currently own any dogs, I am a proud auntie to my two furry nieces–Tetra, a loveable golden retriever and Zora, an energetic goldendoodle–who I routinely see and care for when their family is away. I’ve housesat for friends and family many times throughout the years, for both dogs and cats. Big or small, reserved or energetic, old or young, I’ve dealt with it. My own pets have passed recently and while I adjust to my routine of being a new mom I would love the chance to provide love, attention, and care for your animals. I have a lot of love to give! I currently work only a couple hours a day remotely so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule during the weekdays. I’m also available for most weekends. Nights are a little harder, as I have a little one at home, but not impossible–I have additional child care at home. When caring for your pet you can be rest assured that both your pet and home will be treated with respect. I will provide excellent service and if you’re not happy with me I will take no offense. I am a quick learner and good with constructive criticism and instruction. Just let me know :) Your pet’s care and safety is important to me.

About: Grown up with and around dogs - love to be outside and keep your furry friends comfortable and company! I have pretty open availability on weekdays. I am an incoming grad student for fall and have the summer off so am very open during the weekdays and can accommodate most schedules. I respect all homes and pets and leave the place/pet the same or better than I found it. I will make sure your dog has all it needs while you are gone.

About: Growing up, I have had several and feel very comfortable with most breeds and their distinctive traits. I am a believer that pets are just like children. They needs lots of love, attention and constant care. Because of my experience, I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing and caring for your dog. Our schedule is very flexible so it's easy for us to be there for your dog. We go on several walks a day, giving them a chance to go potty and enjoy playing with them to make sure they feel loved and secure while they're with us. Because we live on a 600 acre property, safety is our top priority. When we are taking walks with your dog, we will take every precaution necessary to ensure your dog is safe. You can bring your dog's favorite toys or blankets, however we have everything your dog would need to feel at home with us. I wash everything after each visit to make sure all of our things are clean for the next fur baby. We have food and water bowls, toys, beds, blankets, crates and even leashes. We want to make it as convenient as possible for you while ensuring your dog is comfortable with us.

“Casie is so great!! She gives great updates. I know my pupper gets great attention and love, and is well taken care of when Casie is with him. I would highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve had multiple pets in my home since age 8. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and fish. Aside from taking care of multiple animals in my home I also started regularly housesitting and dog sitting in high school. I have several years of work experience with children, demonstrating my responsibility, caring, attention to detail and relationship-building. i am a student, so i am only available for the summer. I am in between school and an internship so i have full availability day-to-day unless i have a conflicting appointment! I do not host pets in my home but I am more than familiar with the various safety measures some pet parents use like gates or crates. I am also experienced with walking big dogs, so I take extra precautions when walking to make sure that my puppies don’t go off leash or run into other aggressive dogs.

About: I’ve had quite a lot of pups in my life! I have rescued 5 dogs from the street and got 4 rehomed! The first who I rescued, Paisley, was thrown out of a truck and I raised her in a dorm room! She needed lots of medicine so I can perform any medical treatment needed! And I also get the ups and downs of raising a puppy! I am a professional athlete and love that Rover lets me fit jobs into my schedule! I have always loved animals so this was something that never felt like work! Because of all my animals here, I tend to go to your place! I can make frequent stops or stay the night! Small animals I do take here!

“Our pup loves going on walks with Josephine, she always comes back with a huge smile. We highly recommend her!”
