“This is my first time using Rover as I just moved 11 hours away from home, and don’t have friends, family, or coworkers here to check on the cats. Brian was amazing with the whole experience; he came to meet my husband and I and answered any questions we had. We enjoyed getting updates and pictures of our cats while we were out of town. He did an awesome job and we’ll definitely reach out to him again!”
“Another great job by Alexandra!!! This is our 3rd or 4th booking and we will definitely book again! She takes great care of our senior kitty. She gives her pills like a pro (because she is a pro!). Book Alexandra with confidence!”
“This is our third time with Sharon's amazing pet drop-in service. The dogs love her and she goes out of her way to keep them happy while we're out of town. She even made sure to keep us informed when the Rover app was down. We will definitely hire her again for our next trip.”
“We are very grateful for Erin! She’s patient with us, well particularly with me 😅 on all the things I requested. She made sure to follow all the care instructions for our babies. Always on time too! Thank you!”
“What a great first time experience on Rover with Astrid! She was friendly, communicative and thoughtful; her love for animals really showed. Thank you for taking care of our Mellow!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since college.

“Catherine took great care of BuBu while I was gone. From the pictures she sent me, it's clear that he warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed the attention she gave him. It looks like Catherine spent a lot of time brushing BuBu, which is one of his favorite things in the world. Catherine went above and beyond by emptying the litter genie when it was full and throwing the bag in the dumpster.”
About: I have had dogs most of my life, and you can trust that I will love and care for your furbabies as much as I care for my own. I have taken care of family and friends' pets for over 10 years and am accustomed to most kinds of dogs, including reactive, shy, and energetic ones, etc. I can do most weekends during the day, and early evening, i can also do any weekday after 6pm. I do have a full time job and have 2 pups to walk of my own but once that is done i can be on my way to take care and have some play time with your furbabies! Weekends are usually free :) Whatever rules or instructions you leave I will follow. I am used to pet sitting in people's homes, I love to play with pets, so I will make sure they are entertained!
About: I've taken care of family and friends pets for the past decade, and have experience in animal studies through my college degree. Additionally, I love animals and I'm looking forward to caring for and spending time with them! I am currently working part time at REI before my master's degree starts in September, and would love to fill the time I have in my part time shift with walking and pet sitting animals. I make sure that the environment in which I am taking care of your (and my) pets is safe for the animal, yet also enriching and comfortable for the animals.
“Ashley was so courteous, professional and thorough. I felt reassured every day of vacation with each personalized message and picture of Egg I received! My only concern is that my cat might miss Ashley more than she misses me!”
“Paola! Love her!!! So responsive and wonderful with our kitties. She sent SOOOO many pics and went out of her way to check on and care for our older, more shy guy! Already booked her again and can’t wait for more. Thank you so much Paola💕”
About: I’ve taken care of and self-trained various dogs from pugs to pit bulls, from puppies to adult dogs. They all have their own personalities that make them special. I am an educator and coach for a couple of local youth programs. My days are now free from early mornings to 3pm. Weekend times vary. As I begin my training, walking and running will be paramount. Being an animal lover will allow me to have extra fun while I train. If your dog likes to run and explore and loves affection, I am the one for them. Living near by I will walk their normal path for comfort or we could visit several paths that will excite their senses in the surrounding areas. Dogs are family members. Love is given to them as such. When I had my dog, he was given love each time I left and returned home. He had scheduled play times, training times, and “cuddle” time. I’m a firm believer that a dog should have their own space and objects and is trained on the places or objects that they should not encroach upon. I will always follow a client’s home rules whether they give their dog carte blanche or not.
About: I have had dogs most of my life and I have always said if you want a pet get a fish but if you want family get a dog. Dogs in my house are treated with respect and love. I have a 6 yr old German Shepherd that is my baby. I work from home so my dog is with me all the time. I have the freedom for walks, playing and minor training that I have learned working with my dog. I have a fenced in yard and doggie door so that the dogs can come and go as needed and spend a lot of time playing and interacting with them. My dog gets along with other dogs and likes to run and play. I do have a large crate if needed but I allow dogs to roam freely in my home and yard.
About: Growing up with Brittany Spaniels, I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from large Labs to tiny Wiener dogs, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and breeds. I’ve cared for puppies and senior dogs, and everything in between. I also help take care of my roommate’s cat, so cats are no problem either! Hi there! I’m Anne, a UMD graduate with a love for animals. Currently working in marketing, I find joy in offering personalized care to pets while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just giving your pet the love and attention they deserve, I’m here to help. I work remotely on Fridays until 12:30pm, so I am here to help when you take a weekend away! I understand how important your furry family member is, and I’m committed to providing them with a fun and safe experience. My house has a very large fenced-in backyard, perfect for playtime! Book my services today and let’s give your pet the best care possible!

Mikkole M.
“I've known Mikki for a while, and I can say without a doubt that she would make a wonderful dog sitter. She has a natural way with animals—her own dog is not only incredibly well-trained but also friendly and well-socialized, a clear reflection of the care and attention she puts into pet ownership. Over the time I’ve known her, Mikki has cared for other dogs as well, and she always treats them like her own. She’s attentive to details—whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or picking up on a pup’s emotional needs—and she’s always focused on making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, kind, and truly passionate about dogs, I wholeheartedly recommend Mikki. Your dog will be in excellent hands.”
Anne C.
“When Anne first met my dog, Bentley, she and him became the bestest of friends in an instant. Nowadays, he runs to her over me when we see him at the same time. Anne is one of most caring and considerate people I've ever met. On top of that, her resilience and ability to think on her feet means there's no challenge she wouldn't be qualified to handle. I'd trust her with my own child”
