“Shakya took wonderful care of my pit bull for 9 days. It can often be stressful leaving our pup for such a long stretch of time but we could immediately tell that Shakya was such a dog lover and we felt very comfortable. Shakya was very communicative, sending daily updates and photos. Our dog was in amazing hands!!! We were so happy with the care Romy was given and will definitely be calling Shakya again to care for her. 10/10!!”
“Amy is amazing. She is kind and flexible and has done amazing job caring for Kalooki. We don’t have to feel guilty about leaving her behind because she is always excited to visit and has a great time either Amy’s family and the other pets to have fun with. Amy sends great photos and videos along the way that give us insights into her daily activities and friendships. She always comes home from her “vacations” exhausted in a good way, which is the best outcome of vacations for her humans too. Highly recommend!”
“Daniel did a wonderful job with Apollo. He was taken on many walks and allowed to take over the couch. Daniel is caring and responsible with a true affection for doggos. I'd definitely trust him with Apollo again.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my husky puppy Thor!! You gave me such peace of mind dropping him off I was able to enjoy myself on a kid/dog free weekend while getting updates on how Thor was doing & what his ornery self was up to. You guys rock!!!”
“This was our first time ever using Rover as we just acquired a rescue puppy. Jodi was the perfect match for our fur baby. She understood his need for walks and his “zoomies” (periods of over excitement). I could not have picked a better sitter. During our absence she sent us pictures and updates which made us feel near him. I cannot say enough great things but rest assured she will always be our go to person for Maverick.”
“Julie is amazing!!! I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with her. She was extremely responsive, and sent a bunch of photos every day, and was a joy to talk to. I know my dogs loved staying with her too! I will be sending them to her again for sure.”
“Kelly is awesome! We went to Ocean City to spend some time at the beach and Kelly is just off the main route coming from Northern Virginia. She took great care of our dog for three nights and sent us pictures at the end of each day, totally unexpected. Besides being great with animals she is just a great person. If you are in here area I would recommend giving her your business!!”
“This was my second time booking with Alicia, and just like the first, everything went great! I can tell my dog feels right at home there and enjoys his time with her and her family. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always loved animals from a young age. I was always the one responsible for feeding and taking care of our animals, and house/dog sat for friends and family when needed. I work from home, so am able to easily incorporate pet care into my daily schedule. Whether your fur baby is staying with me or I need to pop in and out for visits and walks, I am able to do that with ease. I let my pup in the yard and walk around our neighborhood on a leash. She is a very playful chihuahua yorkie mix that loves new friends! She will have your pups forgetting all about you while they stay with us. I am also happy to provide as many pictures as you want and/or video chat so you can check on your babies.
“I highly recommend Jill! Our dog has a lot of anxiety and she did SO well with him. We received photos and videos of him daily, and it was clear that he was active and happy. Jill is such a kind and caring person. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Our 1 year old pitbull mix with a strong dose of anxiety had an amazing time with Denise, her wonderful family and Rocket, their dog. We received videos and pictures throughout the stay. They were so patient with our pup that she didn't want to leave when we came to pick her up!! Glad to find such a wonderful sitter so close!”
“Marcus was very kind, respectful, and communicative. He sent frequent updates and daily pictures. He went above and beyond and made me feel comfortable leaving our baby with him. I hope he is available the next time we need care for our puppy!”
“Jessica was great with Marley. He was initially hesitant to have us leave but quickly became very comfortable with her and her family. She have us twice daily updates with pictures and videos. Marley was very happy and well cared for with her.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Quinn! We were in a pickle because we had a family emergency and had to find someone quick who was reliable and caring. Paige fit the bill and I believe Quinn had a great time!”
“Being a first time user of Rover this experience couldn’t have gone any better! After meeting Robin I was at ease. She sent pictures/videos. I’d definitely use Robin again!!”
“What a beautiful family! Jessica thank you for welcoming my girls into your home. You made an overnight stay stress-less! Thanks for all the pictures and updates! Take good care and we’ll see you again.”
“Jermaine was awesome! Our dog, Reese, is getting older and I feel like a traditional kennel is a little too loud & stressful for her. Leaving her with Jermaine gave us the peace of mind we needed. He was communicative and positive. She came home happy & healthy. We are very grateful and will absolutely use his services again”
