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!

About: Hello! I am able to provide you with High Quality and Reliable pet care while you are at work, enjoying a vacation, or simply needing a break! I am 43 years old and am working to make extra money to support my family. I currently have 3 dogs, all rescues since they were puppies and now approaching senior-hood! I have had the blessing to have cats earlier in my life and have had digs, cats, birds, etc. since childhood! At one point I worked as a veterinary technician before launching into my career in IT. I have been around and taken care of animals for a long time,.... our fur-babies are our sweetest companions! Allow me to provide a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for your pet while you have peace of mind that they are in good hands while you are away! Thank you. I am a stay at home mom, so I have a fair amount of flexibility in my schedule for you! I am available every day and at nearly any time of day. I appreciate a controlled environment where pets can safely socialize and be cared for! Crates are kept in a specific part of the house where it is quiet and animals can safely and comfortably rest. I have a small fenced in yard for bathroom breaks! And a separate area where food and water can be given in a calm environment.

About: Since I was 5 years old, animals have always been in my life. I recently just adopted my own dog, a small terrier mix named Sadie. Since I adopted Sadie as a puppy, I've learned how to properly train her to sit, come, and go on daily walks. Sadie is very high energy, so I understand the necessity of needing to exercise your dog daily. Along with owning Sadie, I also watch my parent’s pets and friends’ dogs. Taking care of different breeds and personalities has allowed me to be flexible and adaptable when it comes to pet sitting. Along with this experiences, I also have practice with senior animals and can give oral medication if needed. I'm currently working part-time, so my work day doesn't start till 1 or 2 pm. This gives me the morning available to walk, feed, or play outside with your pet! I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet. On most days, my work day doesn't start till 1 or 2 pm, so I have the morning available to walk your dog, feed them, or play fetch outside! I live in an apartment complex with my dog, but take precautions when my dog is around others outside. For example, always making sure she's leashed, not jumping on others, and staying close to me when other pets are passing by.

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

Jeanette is such a blessing to me and my little guy Romeo. She took care of him for four days while I was traveling out the country. Jeanette is kind, friendly , reliable . professional, trustworthy and great with dogs. Romeo loved her immediately. Jeanette perfectly followed the care plan that I created. She left my home very clean and even was flexible to add on an extra day of care due to flight change of mine. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!

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.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, so I have plenty of rounded experience! I’ve taken care of dogs from outside of my family circle as well, including those ranging from Pomeranians to Golden Retrievers. I’m currently willing to work every day of the week in the early morning/afternoon hours! I am also currently looking for a job more attuned to my art degree, and when that happens I’ll probably be switching to part time. In a client’s home, I would not only keep your dog company but also play with them to burn off some of that extra energy! I would then utilize either a fenced in backyard or local sidewalks to make sure your dog does their business outside and isn’t at risk of leaving a mess inside.

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.

Brent was great with my two active Aussies. They like to be walked together and came home from their walks clearly happy. Please note: Brent stepped up on fairly short notice—I had an emergency and needed dependable help. Highly recommend Brent and Rover!
