“Matt stayed with my two pups for a week and took great care of them. He was also kind enough to water my flowers and garden while I was away. I had peace of mind knowing my home and pups were in great care. I highly recommend Matt and hope to use him again.”

“This is the first time we've used Rover for house/pet sitting. Our first choice was Lana. Lana came to meet us and our pets and we felt very comfortable w/ her from the moment we met. She cared about our pets and was interested in their individual needs, likes, and dislikes. We were very comfortable going way w/ Lana here to take care of our fur babies. She kept in touch, sent pictures, and ask questions when needed. She also cleaned up after herself and washed the bedding, towels, and dog blankets before she left. We certainly didn't expect this, but it was GREATLY appreciated! You couldn't tell she was ever here as things were just as we left them. We will DEFINITELY use Lana again if she is available. Thank you so much Lana for letting us have a worry free vacation.”

“Adriana took care of my dog and my home while I was away for five nights. She left my home better than she found it and my dog happy, healthy, and well cared for. I will definitely continue to use her for both routine walks and vacations.”

Non working days, Walks are the same plus plan social play time or easy hike walk, or water play etc. Anxious days usual comes with lots of attention. Hyper days lots of fetch, catch and brain games. Even spa days of bath and brushing. Fresh water throughout the day and follow feeding schedules plus meds if needed. Illness or injury call parents and/or vet with permission transport to location that needed regular vet or emergency vet Safety and less stress is best for all. Safety checks and walk throughs house and yard daily. Monitor pets and be aware of their whereabouts. Check fur and skins at least once a day depending on season and living area. Follow schedule and requirements of the family. Communicate to family on daily basis and share pictures.

About: As the proud owners to two wonderful little rescue dogs, a cat, some chickens, guinea fowl, goats and sheep, we know how hard it can be sometimes to find care for your pets and farm animals while you are away. We will provide the same level of care and kindness that I would want and expect for our own spoiled pets. Trust is an important part of pet care and petsitting, and we want you to be able to confidently, and without worry, leave your pampered pups and kitties in our care. We live on a small farm in rural Western Maryland, about 20 minutes west of Frederick. We have experience with all kinds of animal care, from horses, cows, goats, sheep, and poultry. We are currently able to provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, as well as house or farm sitting, and in home boarding, as well as hourly dog park style use of our large fenced yard. Your pets will be a happy addition to our family in our home! Our whole property is fenced by 4 ft or taller board and wire fencing, with smaller areas sectioned off in the front and back yards. The driveway is gated and secure. We want your pets to feel as safe as our own. Leah and Andrew are both available for petsitting services. We currently work only at home, tending our farm homestead, and have a flexible schedule. We are able to drop in one or two times a day, or less or more often, as needed. We treat every animal as if it were our own and provide a level of care that we would expect from our pet care provider.

“Kaylee has been the absolute best dog sitter we have had from rover! She was communicative and sent us daily updates with pictures! She is truly wonderful and genuinely cares for our dogs. We left for Colorado for a few days so she stayed at our home with our two dogs. We came home and our home was cleaner than we left it! Our dogs were happy too! You could tell they loved her and weren’t stressed with us being gone. We will absolutely be using her in the future!!”

About: I’m a stay-at-home mom with over 13 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifelong love of animals. I currently have several regular clients and am opening up my availability to welcome a few new furry friends! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, whether that includes walks, meals, medications, playtime, or simply some extra company and attention while you’re away. My experience also goes beyond dogs and cats! I regularly work on a farm caring for horses and other large animals, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all shapes and sizes. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me a flexible schedule, and I love being able to spend part of my week caring for animals. I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets and your home, and I treat every animal I care for like I would my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of availability for drop-ins, walks, and recurring clients throughout the week. I currently care for several regular clients and am opening my schedule to take on a few more. On occasion, I may need to bring my son with me, but this would always be discussed and approved ahead of time. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and entering your home. I always follow each owner’s instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with crating, different feeding routines, leash walking, and administering oral medications. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Maria is the best! She was so kind, accommodating to our specific needs, communicated very well, and loved my kitten as if he were her own. We are incredibly thankful to have found her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“I wanted to say,We had peace of mind knowing our animals were being well cared for and we could concentrate on our vacation. We could not have ask for anyone better to stay at the house and take care of our two dogs. I know it wasn’t easy with our dog Mylie’s separation anxiety but from our meet and greet to the last day pet sitting Isabel was great. She sent daily updates and photos. We will gladly recommend Isabel to all our friends and family. Thank you again Isabel 🐶”

About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three dogs (two Rottweilers and a Shih Tzu) who were treated like members of the family. In addition to a lifetime of personal experience around dogs, I also have numerous years of professional experience as a dog walker, dog sitter, and house sitter. Working with dogs is truly one of my greatest joys in life 😊 I promise to care for your fur babies (and your home) as if they were my own. I enjoy traveling to new locations for dogsitting, and am always up for an adventure! I have experience working with dogs of all ages and sizes. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm happy to accommodate last-minute bookings as long as I'm available. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I'm self employed, which allows me the flexibility of setting my own schedule. When I'm working a dog sitting job, I consider it my first priority. I'm happy to adjust my personal schedule to accomodate your dog's individual routine and needs. I currently offer overnight dog sitting at my clients' homes. This allows your dog to feel at ease in his/her own living space, and alleviates the potential stress of traveling and adjusting to a new environment. I often work from home for my other jobs, so I'm able to spend lots of quality time bonding with the dogs that I work with. I'm very communicative with my clients during a job, and often send updates and photos to let you know how everything is going. If you're a dog owner who also has cats, I'm happy to care for them for a small additional fee. (Please refer to "additional cat" on the list of services that I provide).

“Meghan took amazing care of our dogs and our home while we were out of town and was able to accommodate us last minute when our other pet sitting arrangement fell through. She sent updates and photos regularly and we will definitely be reaching back out to her for future needs!”

Jordan P.

“I can’t recommend her enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs—they liked her right away, which immediately put me at ease. She gave me daily updates while I was away, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and a clean house, which was such a nice bonus. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and clearly great with animals. I will definitely be hiring her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”

Haley H.

“Day is wonderful. Our anxious little pup was calm and happy when we got home. Day is a great communicator with our dog and with us, sending lots of pictures and keeping us informed. Definitely recommend her.”

About: Having the background of being raised on a farm has given me an innate love for animals. I have become a go to person for my friends and family in the city with not only dogs, but farm animals as well (cows, goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits etc.). I have experience with injured and ill animals as well in care taking. I am able to follow dietary restrictions and diets in general as well. Pets, cuddles and walks are no problem of course! :) I currently work from home (Thurmont, M-F 8-5) so I am very flexible with me being in home for either a whole work day, half day or drop ins (if close by). I cannot board in home. I am able to follow the direction of your pets care. Food schedules/diets, crating, walks etc. I keep every pets area clean and tidy so they feel as comfortable as possible. I simply ask for communication ahead of time in expecations.

About: I have over six years of experience in animal care and am eager to continue my career. My goal is to work at a veterinary clinic or hospital, or establish my own mobile grooming business after completing grooming school. In my previous role at Sobo Dog Daycare, I gained experience maintaining a safe environment for dogs and recognizing canine body language and behaviors. I'm currently working from home part time as well as doing this part time. My hours are flexible and I'm usually always able to adjust my schedule to accommodate to my rover clients schedule! I can provide care to both, long stays at clients residence or I can provide boarding services in my home!! Whatever is the best for the client and also for the pet parent as well! If im boarding I suggest bringing anything that is favorable, toy or bed, blanket ect its easier for them to get adjusted to the new environment if they have something familiar from home with them.
