Atti was in great hands. I highly recommend Beth T especially if your Frenchie needs someone great to care for him! Thanks Beth and Bastien❤️❤️”

“I have a great feeling of peace, knowing that my Marcel is being cared for by Elisabeth. She is attentive, loving and gives great care to our dog Marcel. Marcel was right at home with Elisabeth and did not want to leave. It’s important to me that Marcel not be stressed or anxious and she provides that type of calm atmosphere needed. I needed a later time to pick him up and Elizabeth accommodated me and told me not to rush or worry. Marcel was very happy with his long walks! I want to keep her all to myself. She is truly a wonderful person and can be trusted with the care of your special pet.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bethesda
Abigail is the best sitter we’ve ever had. Did pick up and drop off and took my kitty for an extra night. She played with my cat every day, and made special puzzles and treats for her. My cat usually takes a while to warm up, but was enjoying pets and cuddles with Abigail basically from the first day. I almost don’t want to leave such a positive review because I want to keep Abigail to myself!! 😄
Karen is a fabulous dog sitter. Our labradoodle had his first stay for five nights with Karen and her family and he did so well! Karen gave lots of walk, play time in the fenced yard and he just seemed to be very happy being in a comfortable, loving home environment. She sent great photos and communicated just the right amount! We will absolutely be rebooking and we are so glad to have found Karen.
Romy and her family were so caring and welcomed our cat so warmly in their home. She had great communication from the very start and wanted to know as much as possible to make sure our cat would be happy and healthy during her stay. She sent updates and photos everyday, and our cat seemed right at home and getting lots of attention, just as she likes. We would love to have our cat stay with Romy again.
Stephanie was great. She took care of my two dogs, Moka and Zoe on a Saturday/Sunday so I could attend a wedding. Moka is around 5, requiring a medication 2x day and Zoe is definitely a senior dog. She sent me photos and they appeared to have had a good time. She was great a communication, and understanding when my flight was delayed and I arrived later than hoped. We'll happily use her again if circumstances allow.
Jacqueline was great! I always look for sitters with big dog experience because my 4 year old staffy has very high energy and reactive to large dogs. She grew up with large dogs so I was very comfortable booking. She asked great questions during our meet and greet and sent plenty of updates during my Zeus’s stay. Bonus: she lives near walking trails so my dog got plenty of outdoorsy walks. I can’t wait to book Jacqueline again!
Stella was in such good hands. We dropped her off at the end of some “tummy” issues and LeAnn and her family administered her medication and kept me updated on her tummy status as she got better. We received daily pictures and updates. Stella had a blast with Oscar!
