“Love the updates and really appreciated you taking in our trash can as an added bonus! Sebastian looks like he really enjoyed playing with you and especially his stick toy and being brushed! Thank you so much! 🧡Jen bonus is should be home this evening for More pets and love!”
“Kristen has been so amazing with Sulley! He is normally hesitant around new people and he took to her so quickly! She is great at playing with him and respects my instructions. She is empathetic and goes beyond to help — even my sweet four year old cat who is afraid of everyone immediately walked out to greet her! She is going to be a regular visitor for Sulley and myself. ❤️”
“Tavin is amazing. She is very professional and went above and beyond to care for our dogs . We received pictures and updates all seven days of our vacation. She’s very flexible and responsive to requests. We will definitely look to Tavin in the future to take care of our dogs.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and developed a deep love and respect for animals from an early age. I grew up with two cats, one of whom was truly my best friend. She was by my side 24/7 throughout my childhood, and her passing was incredibly difficult, a reminder of just how deep the bond with an animal can be. I also regularly cared for a neighbor’s dog while he was in hospice. I’ve looked after friends’ pets while they were on vacation, always making sure they felt safe, loved, and well cared for. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, they often make the most loyal and understanding companion I am currently working Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. I am willing to check in on animals during week days before I go into work and after. I am ok with staying overnight as well. I am available on weekends whatever times are needed. In client’s home I follow the directions of care that they have requested for their pet. I also start by greeting the pets and making sure they get as much love as they need as it is difficult for them when their owner is not there.
About: I have been an animal lover and pet owner my entire life. Over the years, I have been a pet parent (or pet grandparent!) to fish, birds, mice, rats, and even ferrets! As the current owner of one rotten Border Collie and six spoiled cats, my pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and stress free when you can’t be there. I would love the opportunity to give your fur babies the love and care they need, and deserve, in your absence. I am currently a stay-at-home wife and the mom of one grown and flown daughter with plenty of time available to take care of you, and your fur baby’s, needs. As a trusted person in your home, careful attention detail and leaving things as they found them is of utmost importance to me! I want you and your fur babies to be comfortable and secure in the fact that I will care for them in a way you would, and carefully follow any care instructions given to ensure their safety, and your peace of mind.
“Dianne was an incredible pet sitter, and I very highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable and friendly, and she cares deeply for animals. I felt completely comfortable with leaving Kitten in her care. Dianne did a great job communicating with me while I was gone, and she even left a gift for Kitten. I will be using Dianne every time I need a pet sitter for sure.”
“I wholeheartedly recommend Briana. This was my first time using Rover, and I was a bit nervous about leaving my pets and home with a virtual stranger. But, right away Briana’s thoughtfulness and informativeness reassured me. My pets received the care and attention they needed, and Briana went out of her way to help. She is knowledgeable and passionate about animals, and she is willing to learn. Furthermore she balances professionalism and friendliness. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures, and I definitely would entrust her to care for my pets again in the future.”
“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”
“Lindsey is extremely kind, prompt and very meticulous about her work with animals. Our dogs both enjoyed their time with her, especially our boy Max who was treated to a walk to his favorite location in Martinsburg. We are looking forward to future visits with Lindsey, and would definitely recommend her. 😊”
About: Currently a Vet Assistant. I have become familiar with the body language of dogs and cats of all sizes. Coworkers have relied on me to spend time with their own pets for as little as a few hours to a few days. I always do my best to make sure your pets are as comfortable as I care for them. I have plenty of time on Saturdays and Sundays to play with, watch, or walk your pets as you need. Whether you need me to stop in or have an extended visit! I will maintain open communication and send pictures with how your pets is doing. I will always check to see if there are any hazards before leaving and follow instructions for your pets that you might have.
About: I worked at PetSmart for over a year in the grooming Department. I also worked for doggie style pets in Philadelphia . Before I started grooming I worked at Sobo Dog daycare as well in Baltimore. I really enjoy working with dogs and getting to know them and the pet parents. I want to make a safe environment so they're comfortable that their pets are taken care of. I'm hoping that later down the road that I can possibly find a career in this and I feel like this is a good way to start. Im really looking forward to this opportunity to further my experience in this field. I love dogs and I'm excited for this opportunity to love and care for your pets. 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, at clients home or I can provide boarding services in my home!! Whatever the client prefers! 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.
About: Hi! I’m Rachel, owner and founder of RogiBear Pet Sitting Services. I am lifelong animal lover with a passion for providing top-notch care for pets of all shapes and sizes. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals—both my own and those of friends, family, and clients. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. I’m also comfortable with administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and following any specific routines or training methods you have in place. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I strive to offer peace of mind through constant communication, photo updates, and personalized care. Let’s meet and see if I’m the right fit for your pet’s needs—I’d love to help keep their tail wagging (or purr going) while you’re away! I can offer same day care but please reach out to me first. I work part-time in the mornings on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which means I’ve got lots of free time to hang out with your pets! Whether they need a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m around and happy to help. With a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid unsafe areas during walks, and closely monitor each pet’s behavior and comfort level. Whether it’s keeping an eye on the weather or double-checking gates and doors, I make sure every pet stays safe and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I communicate clearly and promptly with pet parents, provide updates with photos, and follow all care instructions to the letter. You can count on me to be reliable, respectful, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well-being. I care deeply about the environment and try to minimize my impact during walks and visits. I always clean up after pets, properly dispose of waste, and reuse supplies when safe and appropriate. I also support local parks and green spaces so pets can enjoy clean, healthy environments for their adventures.
About: Like most homes, I grew up with many pets. We constantly had animals in our home. I have experience with newborn to seniors and everything in between 😊. I have been a stay at home mom for 7 years. Since my youngest started school I have been alone at home with nothing to do. I am available anytime while my kids are in school and anytime in the evenings when my husband is home from work. I am also available for over night sitting on weekends. I am ecstatic to help out in any way with your fur baby! I will give them so much love and care, like they were my own! I am not able to have pets in my current home, but I can do whatever I can to help in your home or with daily walking. Whatever you need, please let me know. 😊
