“Rachel is professional with excellent communication and we felt very comfortable having her house sit our two dogs! And from the pictures, I know the dogs liked her too!”


“Jahcarre and Morgan took great care of our two dogs, Winston and Reno, as well as our home! Our dog Reno has issues with getting along with unfamiliar dogs, and due to being blind he doesn't always do well in new environments, so having a sitter come watch our dogs in our home is essential, but isn't always easy to find, especially over a holiday. I was so happy to find Jahcarre and Morgan through Rover! They put me at ease by talking with me and meeting the dogs beforehand, and I felt confident leaving my dogs and our home in their hands while my husband and I were able to travel without being concerned. They communicated well when needed and sent pictures when I requested. They even got our doggies a little Christmas gift which was so sweet! Thank you for spending your Christmas with our pups, we would definitely have you watch them again!”


“We had a fantastic experience! Our sitter was incredibly patient and understanding with our dog, making the whole process stress-free for us. They sent frequent updates and lots of adorable pictures, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We truly appreciated the care and attention given to our pup and would absolutely book with them again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”


“Robert was amazing! I took a weekend trip and he provided house sitting for my 2 high energy dogs. They had a great weekend with him and I received adorable photo updates. Robert was respectful and kind in every interaction. I highly recommend his services and would book with him again!”


“James was a wonderful Lily! He was great with communication from start to finish, sending updates and photos throughout the week. Lily was well cared for and even learned a new trick. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. We will definitely book with James again!”


“Neri saved our New Year trip and sat for our 2 dogs when our first sitter had a medical emergency. The pups were very content with her and she was prompt and professional. We highly recommend her for and pet care and house sitting.”


“Emma did an amazing job taking care of our dog! She was very quick to respond to any messages and provided updates. I will definitely book her to dog sit again in the future!”


“Second time having Jaime housesit with my dog Harper. Jaime is very professional and communicative, making it less stressful leaving my dog behind while traveling. He sends many photos to ease a worried pet parent’s mind. Jaime left the house in tidy condition. Thanks for watching Harper again!”


“Maria was an excellent choice! She’s kind and a great communicator. She followed all instructions to an T and took extra special care of our senior cat with dietary needs. Our cat can have some separation anxiety and under-groom while we’re away, and we came home to a happy, healthy kitty! It is clear that Maria went above and beyond to care for our cat, as well as our home. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, including checking in about some flooding from a lot of rain. We will absolutely be booking with Maria again!”


“We’re so grateful to have had Fennel looking after Lucy. They were incredibly attentive and responsive throughout the entire time, and their updates gave us such peace of mind. The photos they sent were lovely—Lucy looked so content, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It meant the world to be able to leave the house knowing Lucy was in such good hands. We highly recommend Fennel to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and truly caring sitter—they’re truly the best!”


“Wonderful experience! This was the first time our dog was left with someone other than a family member & it worked out perfectly. Our dog was happy & well taken care of. Would not hesitate to use again!”



“Allison was amazing with our two dogs Archie and Ellie. Ellie loved her so much that she did a sad howl when Allison left. We will definitely use her again for the next time we need someone to watch the pups over night. ❤️”


“Jayla was patient and loving to our dog who for the first day and a half was acting very weird and hiding out in one of the bedrooms. Jayla was very communicative and her concern showed through her texts. Turns out it was the fire alarm beeping because the batteries were dying. Our dog was very happy once the batteries were removed!! Jayla stayed overnight and maintained a spotless house for when we returned. She was respectful and loving toward our pet.”


“Emily was amazing! Right from the start she was professional, responsive, and made us feel completely at ease. Emily truly went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were happy and our home was well taken care of. She sent us daily updates and photos. It was clear that our dogs were not just being watched, but genuinely loved and cared for. The peace of mind this gave us was invaluable.”


“Stayed with my dogs so they wouldn’t have to be cooped up while we traveled. It’s a relief knowing someone is there with them, particularly someone my dogs love! Will definitely be booking again!”


“Alise is fantastic! She was able to settle 2 anxious rescues quickly with her calm demeanor even as a new member to the pack. She was very attentive and caring and gave plenty of updates on the well-being of our dogs in the midst of an unexpected medical issue. Thanks, Alise! Janet and Benny are eagerly awaiting their next sleep over.”


“Linda went above and beyond house sitting for our cat while we were out of town! She was very responsive, sent pictures, and left our house sparkling clean!

About: With over 10 years of experience, I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—from dogs and cats to snakes and more! I once stayed for a full week over the Christmas holidays, ensuring pets felt loved and safe while their owners were away. I work full time but always make time to give your pets the attention, walks, and affection they deserve. You’ll always get photo updates and messages so you know your pets are in great hands! Morning Drop-ins or Walks: • Before 9:00 AM — Quick 30-minute drop-in or walk near Severna Park (I will let you know if I'm available or not) Midday Check-ins (Limited Window): • 2:15–3:30 PM — Ideal time for local drop-ins, feeding, letting pets out. Evening Stays or Walks: • Not typically available due to client work until 7:15 PM unless it’s for overnight care and you’re staying at the pet’s home. Weekends: • I’m generally available for weekend pet care unless I have a special outing planned I’ll always communicate ahead of time if a weekend’s not available! When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I closely follow all your instructions, whether it’s regarding feeding routines, bathtroom breaks, crate time, or medication. I also make sure to keep everything tidy while you’re away. I provide regular updates through texts and share adorable pet photos, so you never have to wonder how your pets are doing! Whether it’s a drop-in visit, a walk, or an overnight stay, your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Aimee was absolutely amazing with our Pups Missy and Penny!! I cannot tell you how lucky we were to find her to watch our dogs for us while we went away. Our dogs were recently adopted from a rescue and Aimee went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and well taken care the entire time. She is absolutely wonderful dog sitter and a wonderful person as well. We loved her!”
