“Madeline watched my 3-month-old puppy a few times. My puppy loves her and feels safe with her. She is calm and loving and knowns how to handle an energetic puppy. Madeline sent me updates throughout the day with pictures. She is a wonderful pet sitter and we love to have her back. Highly recommend her.”
“Connie came and stayed with our pup over the July 4th weekend. She was prompt and very responsive throughout the stay. She also periodically sent us pictures of our pup, which we loved. I would highly recommend Connie and plan to use her again in the future!!”

About: Hi! My name is Aubrey, and I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years caring for all kinds of animals — from household pets to farm animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether they’re playful puppies and kittens or senior pets needing extra patience and care. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy care, training, routines, and the patience and attention young dogs need. As a college student and future grad student at UMD, I have a very flexible schedule, especially over the summer and into next semester. I’m available for overnight stays, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, medication administration, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand every pet has different needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college and future grad student here at UMD, I have a flexible schedule with availability for overnights, walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure to ask questions not only about your puppy but your house and regular routines. Health in animals is very important while you’re away so I always ask to have detailed notes or instructions.
“Mya did a wonderful job. She was so sweet with my dog Olive and gave me daily updates. I am always worried about leaving Olive with a sitter but Nya but me fully at ease. She was also very respectful of my space and was great about communicating.”
“Lauren did overnight sitting in my home for a week and took care of my very needy Persian cat and 130lb Great Dane. She is super reliable, communicative, and left the house in better shape than she probably found it. Will absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Lauren!”
“Zoe was fantastic! I’m always worried about Prince when I leave, and have not had the best experience with overnight Rovers staying at my house ie keeping it clean etc. and Zoe was nothing short of a dream. She kept me updated, sent me so many pictures of Prince, was patient with him because he can be super energetic and let me know if he accidentally ate anything. I came back and my house was just how I left it. Hopefully she is available for my week long trip at the end of July because I will be booking again!”
“Chandler was an AMAZING pet and house sitter! I expected this based on her other reviews, but our dog and two young cats seemed to adore her! Usually when I board my dog he comes home very stressed out. This was such a different experience- he was just his normal, happy self. Chandler is very communicative and sent us photos and updates of our pets, letting us know how they were. She kept up on all the pet duties, brought in the mail, took out the trash, and left the house better than she found it. She's also got a lovely personality! Next time we need to go out of town, I hope she's available because this was an amazing experience!”

Your pups comfortability is my first priority. I want this to be a fun and enjoyable experience for your dog and will do my best to make sure that happens.
“Lisa was amazing! Our Zoey is grumpy with new people but warmed right up to her! 10/10 would recommend to anybody. She was professional and communicated clearly with us. She even made sure to send pictures for my boys of the dogs' presents from Santa!”
“Shania was great with my dogs and cat. She sent pics of my furbabies and had good communication. And she left my house tidy. I have used petsitters over the years, through Rover and friends, and Shania has been the best thus far. I would definitely recommend her. I plan to book with her again in the future”
“Great sitter! He stayed full-time for 6 days, took excellent care of our two dogs (including administering meds), and went above and beyond helping with things around the house. We came home to a happy pups and everything in great shape. Highly recommend!”

Big thanks to Paola for taking care of our furbaby while we were traveling! She stayed at our home and was the perfect houseguest. Even though it was extremely hot while we were traveling, Paola made sure our pup got his daily walks. We look forward to working with Paola again.
Took phenomenal care of our three pups. Jessica paid close attention to them and even bathed them when they seemed especially itchy. She sent lots of pictures and was extremely communicative! She responded quickly to any queries we had and made sure we were 100% comfortable with her. Please, book her to care for your animals she is an excellent person you can trust.

She provides frequent updates including pictures. We trust her to make the appropriate decisions regarding household activities.
