“Helen is a delight! She came over to meet Gus the day before her engagement. Gus loved her and brought her one of his toys when she arrived. We will be asking her to take care of Avis again in the future.”

“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”

About: Note: I live in downtown Baltimore but work in Arlington, VA so housesits in DC/Virginia are ideal. Hi! I’m Serena, a dependable and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of experience caring for pets and homes. I grew up in a home full of cats and 1 dog and was a proud cat owner for many years. Since then, caring for other people’s pets has become something I truly enjoy. Friends, neighbors, and travelers regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I always work to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own environment. My clients often tell me they appreciate my communication while they’re away. I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your pets are doing and feel confident they’re in good hands. Outside of pet sitting, I’m an avid gardener with over 30 indoor plants and a vegetable garden. Because of this, I’m also very comfortable caring for plants and maintaining a home while you’re traveling. At the moment, I am available full-time some weekdays during the day as well as some weekends. Please send me your dates, and I will check my calendar. My Care Style My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During visits I focus on: • feeding and fresh water • litter box or bathroom breaks • playtime and attention • monitoring behavior and wellbeing • maintaining routines your pet is used to I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”

“Amanda provided excellent service taking care of our animals, and was especially attentive to our cat’s medicine regime. Communication was constant and clear, and she was more than reliable throughout the stay. Thank you Amanda!”

“Arrived home to a very happy cat thanks to Fallon! I appreciated that she was able to come by ahead of time for a meet and greet and loved all the photos of my cat from her visit.”

About: Pets are family and they deserve to be treated that way! I want to provide that service as well and gain the trust of your animal as much as I do yours! I am currently a college student with breaks during the day to be able to care for your pet in between classes and in the evenings I follow instructions from the owner as to what needs to happen when. I take time to sit and pay with the pets in order to gain their trust
“Samantha was a great repeat walker for us! AlaHs responsive, and she followed my pedantic neighborhood dog rules to a T (again lol I'm so sorry but great work), avoiding the houses she had to avoid, etc. I would trust her again!”

“Sean was everything you could hope for when traveling without your pet. He was very communicative, prompt and professional and left us feeling that Ellie was in great hands.”

“Alina did a fantastic job caring for our two cats! Knowing she was spending time with them each day made being away so much easier! She really went above and beyond what was asked and was extremely responsive to my messages. I definitely recommend her services and would use them again!”

“Sophie was amazing!! I have an 80lb lab that is pretty high energy with some medical needs. I booked Sophie for drop in visits for 4 days. Sophie was incredibly thorough in her preparation, attention to detail, and communication. She took my dog to the park everyday, sent multiple pictures, and was very intentional about making sure my dog did not get over-heated outside with the current heat wave. If you're looking for someone to treat your pup like they're a VIP at the Four Seasons, book Sophie!”

“Sitter was great. Used them for some time and you can really tell when you get home and your pet isn’t bouncing off the walls. She even came a day early when we had a friend that couldn’t stop by. Booked her on short notice and lots of photos which my kids loved. Thank you.”

“Mel took great care of our three cats. She even noticed that one of our kitties needed to be brushed and spent time grooming her to get off all her extra fur. Will definitely use again!”

About: I've house sat my sisters 100 pounds saint bernard before for a couple days. My family had a black lab that lived to be 14 and I helped take care of him and we have a 4 year old German shepherd who we have had since he was a puppy. I am currently unemployed so I am available anytime during the week from Monday to Thursday to walk or watch your dog or dogs and I am always vigilant when watching pets. I have a small fenced in yard and I take my dog for a walk everyday at noon and I am always vigilant and make sure that dogs don't get into anything

About: I have been a dog lover and dog mom for many years. I grew up with a dog and have a dog of my own now that I adore. I enjoy young dogs that are full of energy but I also have a soft spot for the senior dogs who have a heart of gold. I currently work as a school teacher during the day. My hours are 7-2. I am free in the evenings and weekends. I will be free during the day throughout the week in just a few short weeks once school ends. I can come to your home to care for your dog and and walk your dog whenever needed. I am flexible and willing to work with your busy schedule.
About: I've had pets all my life and I'm starting to care for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different breeds and sizes. I currently work full time, I work 1 day remote at home and 4 days in the office. I will make plenty of time to be there for your fur baby though. I am very active, I go running, take long walks as well as hiking with my pup. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to have company. Any special needs, diets or behaviors I will need to know in order keep your fur baby happy and comfortable.
About: Animal lover and experienced pet sitter living in Baltimore! Before moving to Maryland two years ago, I worked consistently as a cat sitter in the San Francisco Bay Area and Brooklyn, NY. Now I am looking to expand my experience here in my new home! I’m timely, attentive, and cleanly. While I work for Rover part time, I also work in the non-profit sector with a flexible schedule - that means I am able to adjust my schedule to meet your needs! I am comfortable administering medication and have an affinity for older animals that may need more attention. If you are in need of a pet sitter that has the experience and love of pets to care for your family member, you have found her! I am currently able to care for your pet on the weekends and in the evenings after 4 pm. Additionally, on Wednesdays I have increased flexibility due to my work from home schedule. For sits in the city of Baltimore, I also may have daytime availability on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I provide loving, attentive care in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and happy. I follow their routine, offering plenty of play, cuddles, and exercise while keeping your home clean and secure. As a fellow pet owner that has utilized services like Rover, I fully know the trust and responsibility required when caring for your family member within your home.

Sophie is amazing! We totally forgot to book someone for our sweet Asher, Sophie was super responsive, and was able to help in a pinch, because of our mix up. She’s always great with Asher, provides plenty of photos and he loves hanging out with her! 100% recommended!

This was our first time using Rover for our cat Walt. He is slow to warm up to people but Tabitha was great at the meet and greet just going at his pace and not forcing anything. She stopped by for 2 visits and by the second one he was less shy and approached her more easily. I would definitely recommend Tabitha as she was available on short notice and reliable.

Mel took perfect care of our Ety, communicated proactively before, during and after the booking, and thankfully was flexible and worked with me when I got the dates of our trip wrong. Great to have a cat sitter we can rely on near us in Halethorpe, will book again

Samantha has watched our dog twice now and she is always so fantastic with Tahlee! She sent photos of Tahlee while I was out of town! Samantha was able to work with our schedule even with her weekend already being booked out! Absolutely recommend Samantha to house sit your pets!

Anna is for real, the best! Every time we need to leave our boys at home we ask her to watch them because we love her so much! She’s always on time, sends lots of pictures, and takes care of our furry guys like they were her own. We would pick Anna over any other pet sitter or kennel every time.

Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️
