“We recently worked with Tracy in Frederick, MD to watch out two pups while we were away for about a week. This was the first time we asked someone who wasn't a family or immediate friend to watch our home and pups, and we would welcome her into our home again! She did an excellent job keeping us in the loop while sending adorable pictures of them playing in the yard and hanging around the house. She established a quick bond with our dogs, one of which is on anxiety medications, and it was clear they got along with Tracy well during her stay. Her support gave us peace of mind while we traveled, and we look forward to working with her agin.”

“Adrienne was fantastic with our 3 pets for several days at our house! She communicated well and provided great photos daily. We can highly recommend Adrienne and plan to hire her again.”

“Sara did a phenomenal job house sitting and taking care of my pup. She was always responsive and sent updates with pictures. After her stay, she had some great suggestions which I will use in the future. I will use Sara again and cannot recommend her enough.”

“Jennifer is amazing! We booked her services with little notice when our previous sitter canceled on us. We were headed down to TN to get married and we’re worried about leaving our two labs with a new person. Jennifer was amazing and our dogs loved her immediately. It was so nice getting daily updates and pictures to keep us reassured all was well! Would recommend to anyone, and especially those who are like us and have high expectations when it comes to our pets!”

“Heidi tool great care of my pup, Felix. She was very organized and made sure she had a list of questions to fully understand his routine before I went out of town. She made sure to give me updates throughout the day and was responsive to all my inquiries. I highly recommend Heidi for any of your pet care needs!”

“We had Kristen watch our pups on our wedding day. She kept them busy and out of our hair as we got ready and stayed with them through the night. We were provided many updates throughout the day and our pups had a blast! I highly recommend Kristen for you next pet sitting/dog walking needs!”

“I highly recommend Jessica! I was extremely happy with the care she provided for my two cats and my little special‑needs dog. She was responsive whenever I reached out and consistently shared updates throughout her stay, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my pets were in excellent hands. Jessica was also very respectful of my home—it was left tidy and well cared for (trash taken out, bed made, no dishes in the sink, etc.). I’m really looking forward to booking her again the next time I travel!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals! From growing up in a house full of all kinds of animals and currently being a proud dog mom of 3 and snake mom of 1, to pet sitting through my teen years, to volunteering at a special needs dog sanctuary for 3 years.. there is nothing I feel more comfortable doing than hanging out with and caring for furry, scaly, or feathered friends! I am available for care all hours of the day or night weekdays and weekends! I’m happy to do late night or early mornings 😊 I want more than anything to provide everyone that trusts me with their furry babies peace of mind knowing that with me, they are genuinely safe and will always be treated like they are my very own. To say I’m a helicopter dog mom is an understatement, and I understand more than anyone the fear of unknowns when leaving your pets with a new person and I hope I can alleviate that stress from both you and your pets. From the bottom of my heart, you can trust that when your pets are with me they are in a safe space and being treated with love, care, and consideration!
“Taylor has continued to watch our dog, Bec. She is timely, helpful, great with our dog, and does such a thorough job. I would recommend her to anyone and we’ll continue to use Taylor for as long as she wants to keep seeing our pup!”


About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for years. I previously worked at a veterinary hospital, where I cared for pets in a kennel setting and assisted with appointments, giving me experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and also currently furthering my vet med education. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am a stay at home (expecting) mom, and my schooling is also done at home. You can rest assured knowing that your fur baby will get constant attention and affection I have ample house space and yard space for your fur baby. I also make walks apart of my daily habit so you can rest assured knowing your baby will get all the exercise they could dream of
“First time having Miranda stay at our house with our pups and it went great. Good communication, lots of pictures. Easy peasy. The pups look forward to seeing you again! 🐶🐶”

“Karen is an amazing pet sitter!! She took wonderful care of our energetic pup while we were on vacation! She kept us informed with lots of photos, videos, and detailed updates. Karen was incredibly caring and attentive to his needs and safety, making sure he got plenty of belly rubs, cuddles, playtime, and exercise. She also took excellent care of our home, and left everything perfectly clean and tidy. We were truly able to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pup was in such great hands. We would love to have Karen watch our pup again in the future, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, caring pet sitter!!”

“Victoria was an amazing sitter for my dog Felix. Felix can be a bit shy but he warmed up her quickly. She sent me photos and updates every day, which I appreciated so much. I trusted her completely with my pup and my house and I’d highly recommend her for any pet needs!”

“Raquel is always dependable and always goes above and beyond even when we forget to leave the key!!! Oops! She took great care of our dog Hercules and kept our little fish alive!”

“I could not have asked for a better person to watch my pups! He provided consistent updates with photos throughout our 4 day trip, he was able to extend watching them past the agreed date due to flight mishaps. I have two very high energy dogs, that love to bark and pull during walks, I personally walk them separately. Devon was able to work on their behavior and etiquette preparing for and during walks and has consistently been able yo walk them together. On some personal thoughtful notes: Some of my orchid flowers dropped and he pressed them for me. And he even left us a welcome home note with some treats for the pups. He is such a kind and thoughtful person, never using anyone else!”

“Yogi loved having Leslie to watch him! She also had a meet and greet earlier in the week to meet Yogi so he was familiar with her. She made sure all of his needs were met and enjoyed playing with him. Yogi can’t wait to have her back!”

“Sherri is amazing!!! We feel so comfortable going away and leaving our dog in her care!! She sends us thoughtful updates and cute pics of our dog, and she messages us about any questions or concerns. She has great attention to detail, and she takes wonderful care of our home. She makes sure that our dog gets his daily walks and/or backyard exercise and most of all - lots of love! We definitely plan on using Sherri for future dog sitting! I highly recommend her as a dog sitter and a house sitter!!”

Applegate pet parents share their Rover experiences
I met Adrienne recently to have her pet sit. Upon first meeting, she asked all the appropriate questions about how to care for them. The weekend had some adventures (not fault of hers) but she handled it beautifully and showed so much love for my pets. I absolutely will use her again. ❤️ -from A Veterinarian

Jennifer is great and we recommend her highly. She kept the boys (2 golden retrievers) entertained while we went through the moving process and went the extra mile getting the house ready for a showing while we were out of town. Wish we could take her with us when we move. The boys love her and we trust her with them and our home. We will muss you Jennifer.

We had a great experience with Leslie. She accommodated our booking last minute, which was incredibly helpful and took a lot of stress off our shoulders. She kept us updated throughout Olive’s stay with messages and photos. We really appreciated her responsiveness, flexibility, and the care she showed Olive. Would absolutely book with her again!

We would love to have Karen watch our pup again in the future, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, caring pet sitter!!

Kristin was absolutely amazing. She helped us out with a last minute trip and made it so we had three less things to worry about while we were gone (we have three dogs). I loved the photos and communication. She was very kind and responsive and our dogs seemed very happy and content with her.
