House Sitting in Yorktown

“I cannot say enough good things about Maria. I have never had a bad experience with any of the walkers, sitters, etc. with Rover but Maria is in a class all her own. She watched my boy, Toby for a week and he was so loved and cared for. She sent pictures of their extended walks, and many of her just loving on him. She took him to her house and introduced him to her cats and it was amazing. I know he was so happy and therefore I never had to worry once about him. I highly recommend her as I will be using her again and again. She is a treasure!!!”

“Alina was a great dog sitter for us and did so well with our pup while we were out of town. She’s very kind, responsible and responsive. She also communicated well with us, sent us pictures of walks and cuddles with our pup, and kept us updated, which made us feel very reassured while we were away. I highly recommend her for your pet needs!”

“Angela was very prompt, responsible, and communicative. I booked her a few weeks in advance, she came over once to meet my dog and get an idea of her routine. She then came back the day before my trip for a refresher. She took care of my dog exactly as we had discussed and sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone. My home was exactly as I left it when I got back. Would definitely use Angela again!”

Melissa R.

“Morgan and Jahcarre have watched our 2 dogs several times over the past couple years in our home and we always return to the house looking exactly as we left it and our dogs seem well cared for. One of our dogs can be a lot to handle, and the two of them together can be a real handful, and we know that, and appreciate them sitting for our hounds multiple times! The dogs are thrilled when they walk through the door, so the hounds also give 5 stars lol. Will definitely continue to book with them when we need to be out of town.”

“Emma was great with our golden retriever Gave her lots of love and sent us pictures during her sitting We loved how expensive she was the whole time”

“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Jamie as our dog sitter! Not only did Jamie take exceptional care of our furry friends, but they also went above and beyond in ensuring our home was looked after during our absence. Jamie's attention to detail and genuine love for animals was evident in every interaction. They followed all of our instructions meticulously and kept us updated with dail adorable photos of our pets, which really put our minds at ease. We returned home to happy pets and a spotless house, thanks to Jamie's conscientiousness and reliability. We wholeheartedly recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we will definitely be booking them again for our future trips.”

“Justine did a great job with my crazy crew and provided timely updates with super fast communication. I also appreciated her being available on relatively short notice. Would definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”

Lisa R.

“Regina did an awesome job taking care of my pups! She has a naturally calming energy. I've never seen my dogs NOT bark at someone who enters our house, but with Regina, they didn't make a peep. They just jumped into her lap and made themselves at home!”

Kristen M.

“Fennel watched our two very rambunctious puppies for a whole week over the holidays. They were absolutely fantastic and very patient, also did some training while here!”

Katie L.

“Our dogs were happy and healthy with her. She kepted us informed and entertained with their fun shenanigans while we were gone. Trustworthy and communicative.”

Krista H.

“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.”

About: Hi there! I’ve spent over 9 years working as a veterinary technician at multiple animal hospitals, which gave me hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and needs — from playful puppies to gentle senior pets. I’m confident with everything from giving medications and handling special diets to providing extra snuggles and playtime. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. I pay attention to the little details that make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, fun games for mental stimulation, or simply making sure your fur baby gets plenty of cuddles, I’ll make their comfort my top priority. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits during my midday break (9:30AM–2 PM) and evenings after 6:00PM. I’m also available on weekends for walks, playtime, or extended visits. My schedule is consistent, so you can count on me to provide reliable care around the same times each week. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. With my 9+ years as a vet tech, I’m confident in handling pets of all ages, personalities, and needs — including administering medications, monitoring special diets, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I create a calm, loving environment where they’ll feel secure and cared for. I follow your pet’s normal routines closely, so they feel at ease and comfortable. You can also count on me for regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away.

“Erica did a great job taking care of our home and two kittens while my family was on vacation. She sent us regular updates and left our home in clean and good condition. We appreciated her flexibility when our flight has to be rescheduled. She has a fun personality and we enjoyed her sense of humor. I know our kitties loved her as well. Will rebook in the future. THANKS!!”

“Oh, I’m not quite sure where to begin. Owen is such an incredibly sweet, caring and kind young man! We’ve used Rover several times as well as neighbors and friends and family over the years to watch our dogs (we have a 1.5 year old golden doodle, a 7-year-old mini cockapoo, and a 12 yr old miniature boxer) we decided to take a last minute vacation to go see our daughter in North Carolina, which means we were gonna be a good 6 to 7 hours away as well from our dogs, which was nerve-racking and none of our usual people were available. In fact, I couldn’t find anyone available because of the short notice in the five star review arena. I was hesitant to book Owen because the Rover rating had him only like a 2 1/2 star review. But I read the comments and he had two other five star raving reviews and then just one pretty negative rating, but my gut just kept bringing me back to him telling me to give him a chance, so I did. Well you know the saying, “Always trust your gut?” Definitely didn’t fail us with Owen! Our dogs can be pretty intimidating when someone comes up to our dorm. They barrow and sound really ferocious and then they jump all over you be a handful. Owen took right to them and they took right to him! Oh, I forgot to mention the other thing I was nervous about with booking Owen is that he is male. My boxer is not usually a fan of guys whatsoever and he’s super protective if I’m the only one around and not only did he not growl or act standoffishat all towards Owen he seemed like he had known him forever! I honestly wish I could share the photos on here of that same dog Ling with Owen and one of the several photos he sent me. He did every single thing I asked 100% correctly! Which honestly that’s shocking because I leave a full one page document single spaced typed out for people staying at our house watching the dogs and I expect people to forget or missstuff it because it is a lot! Heck my husband and teenage son that live with the dogs full-time don’t remember everything that I want done. Lol Owen didn’t miss a single thing! On top of that, I also have Ringcameras all around the exterior of my home and he played with them and loved on them and they loved on him. In fact I think they even slept with him at night! Lol we got daily check ins from Owen and anything that he noticed was concerning or had questions on he messaged us. And was always super apologetic about disturbing us on vacation. He’s probably nice to a fault Ha! He also washed his bedding in the bedhe stayed in, put our dishes away and some other things which 110,000% is not expected at all! The other thing was shocking is whenever we leave even if family is watching the dogs the dogs will rarely eat and they were so comfortable with him they ate normally! Fortunately with us, we’ve never had any bad experiences with anyone we’ve used on Rover and I would have any of them back again! That being said, there’s just such a loving kind energy that comes off of him that the dogs pick up on so he will be my first call for our next vacation. My husband and I were so impressed with him. We’ve actually thought about reaching out to Rover and seeing if that one negative review could be removed because I get everyone has different experiences, but I just don’t know how there could’ve been such an enormouschange from that review to now is, it’s just not even his character or personality which you will understand if you book him which I highly recommend you do! He should be there with the other five star people, hands-down! So Owen, thank you so very much for loving our babies while we were gone and making us feel so so very comfortable that I don’t have to stress about leaving again! You are a kind soul and I know you had asked me for any tips or suggestions or feedback I can give you for the next time that you can improve on and young man I cannot think of a single thing and that is saying a lot coming from someone like me who is a perfectionist and OCD! We can’t wait to have you over again and I know Jax,Nahla and Montana can’t wait for you to come and stay again also!”

About: Hi my name is Aayana, i am 28 and i live in the Glen Burnie area but i have a car and can easily travel to and from to walk your pet or to pet sit. I am very passionate about animals and their wellbeing! I’ve had pets all of my life and know the struggles of balancing work and pleasure while also caring for a pet. Generally my family or friends ask me to care for their pets when they are out of town, and I also regularly pet sit for 2 families throughout the year. I also used to be an independent contractor through “Love Those Paws” and “WAG” where i had dogs, cats and other animals to care for! When i’m not caring for pets you can find me enjoying a movie or tv show, painting, hoop dancing or doing hair or lash extensions. I take on demand walks in my free time but generally prefer scheduled/reoccurring walks. Im a small person (100lbs) so my max is 3 dogs to walk at a time and i generally try to find local paths to walk. I am experienced in administering medication for pets I create my own schedule, so i have (mostly) complete flexibility! Mondays & Tuesdays i take & pick up my child from school, so there’s about an hour in the morning and afternoon that i am not available. I do not do boardings at my own house as 2 of my cats have anxiety and introducing a new animal would cause unnecessary stress for them. However, i will do house sittings at the owners home! I currently have 2 families that i have worked with for 3 years that i house/pet sit for throughout the year.

“Grateful for the care she provided and made sure our two crazies had love and attention while we were gone. Will definitely book Lindsey again if we get another chance to get away”

“Alise is the best! I came home from two weeks vacation to two very happy puppies. My family enjoyed the daily updates and photos. Alise was fantastic to work with and will recommend her to all my friends looking for a pet sitter. Very happy with her thoughtful communication throughout the process. Thanks, Alise!!”

“Riley did a fantastic job while we were away for 7 days. He did not leave Milo alone other than to run an errand or get something to eat. It was our first time leaving Milo and I was very hesitant but Riley was very responsive to all my inquiries and sent me pictures and texts about he was as doing. I would definitely recommend him and will refer him to all my friends. Thank you so much Riley for a job well done.”
