“Melissa was fantastic, going above and beyond to make sure my two boys were taken care of. I will definitely try to book her again next time I need the cats taken care of. Thank you so much!”


“Lingli did an amazing job. She provided pictures every day and I could tell my cat really got comfortable with her by the end of the stay. Will definitely be using her in the future!”


“Nicole was an amazing sitter for our 3 kitties. She was very thorough on each visit. She was super responsive and a great communicator. Will be booking again!”


“I cannot recommend Lidia enough! She took care of my cat Mr. Chubs, for a full week, and I am beyond impressed with the care and attention she gave him. From refreshing multiple water bowls to handling the occasional hairball cleanup, Lidia followed every instruction to a T—and did it all with genuine kindness and love. Mr. Chubs can be particular about his routine, but when I came home, he was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. Lidia kept me updated throughout my trip and gave me such peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in the best hands. If you adore your pet and want someone who will treat them like family, Lidia is your girl. Five stars isn’t enough!”


“Christopher was amazing! Our anxious cat came right out to him and loved him! His updates were detailed and he kept us updated on everything! I’ll definitely book again!”


About: Hi! I’m a 19-year old college student, currently on summer break looking for a way to make extra cash! I’ve always had atleast 2 dogs my whole life and have all the experience! I love all the dogs and cats from small to extra large and shy to extroverted. I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, lizards, hamsters, etc. I do work during the weekdays 8-4 but am available before and after to help care of your pets! I look forward to meeting new furry friends :) I currently work a 8-4 job during the weekdays but am available before or after work to stop by or stay over if needed. I’m also available basically all day on the weekends. I have a sizable yard which is fenced in and I always keep a close eye on my dogs. I take care of them appropriately and never fail to give them love.

“Michelle was great about leaving detailed updates for each day that I was away as well as sharing photos! My cat seemed to love her too and that's always a plus!”


“Christine was a flawless petsitter! She watched my cat several times over the past year, and I always came home to a very happy critter :) She was also great at remembering pet care instructions or small details like where to drop off house keys. Would definitely recommend her.”


“Angela was so sweet and was great with my pair of dogs!!! My girl can sometimes be nervous around people but she went right up to Angela for scritches during the meet and greet which says a lot about her :)”


“Dalara was a great pet sitter for us when our high energy cat had to be alone for the weekend! She was very communicative and helpful and I would book her again! Thank you for everything!”


“I can’t thank Samm enough! I have never left my cats more than 1 night let alone with a sitter and I’m so happy I found Samm. They are incredibly needy cats who need lots of love and attention and she tended to every need they had and more. They were so happy each time she visited and probably forgot we were even gone at times. We got so many pictures at the end of each visit which made me happy to see my babies being taken care of and so loved while I was gone. If you’re looking for an amazing sitter who is trustworthy and will love your babies like their own, Samm is the perfect fit! I can’t wait to have her cat sit for us again. Thank you!! ?”


“Joanna was reliable, punctual, and my cat adored her! She communicated during every visit and always sent us a photo and we were so appreciative of her awesome photo skills. She also helped by bringing in the mail and moving our garbage cans to the curb while we were away which was beyond helpful and kind of her to do while we were away. Thanks Joanna for taking such amazing care of our Azula and our home while we were away. We never worried once!”


“Rebeccah was excellent! She asked really great questions with our meet and greet to ensure she understood Phoebe’s needs and wants. The Rover cards were detailed and gave me comfort to know she was in good hands. Will definitely book with Rebeccah in the future.”


“Tracey was very communicative and responsive while watching our cat this past week. She sent lots of updates and pictures and I can tell our cat was well cared for. Thank you Tracey!!”


About: I am dedicated to providing fun loving care to dogs and cats. I was raised with both animals and have been a passionate pet lover since I was a little girl. I am committed to setting aside time for my furry loved ones just as I do with my children and grandson. Every animal deserves attention regardless of how busy a day can get. I have created a safe, playful environment at my home where furry friends feel right at home. While caring for pets in my neighbors homes, I made sure they were safe and secure in their familiar space.

About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. I currently co-parent a 3-year-old pitbull mix who I’ve raised since he was a pup. Over the years, I’ve helped semi-train three dogs of different breeds, and I’ve also cared for several cats throughout my life. I’m comfortable with all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m a stay-at-home parent with a child in school, so my weekdays are quiet and structured — perfect for caring for pets who need consistency and calm. I’m home most of the day and have a very open schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care. I also serve in the National Guard one weekend a month, but I schedule bookings around that to make sure each pet gets my full focus and love. In my home, pets will be cared for in a calm, clean, and safe environment. I make sure they have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel comfortable. I don’t allow roughhousing or risky behavior, and I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel right at home. Whether they need extra snuggles or a quiet corner to nap, I’ll adjust to whatever makes them feel most secure and loved.

“Jennifer is amazing and will treat your fur babies like her own. Very easy to communicate with and very patient. My wife and I enjoyed our vacation because we knew our cats were in good hands. My cats were at ease and were quick to settle in at home as if they stayed at a family member’s home. Jennifer is very attentive and committed to making your fur babies comfortable. I will definitely consider Jennifer going forward because of this great experience.”


About: I’m a pet parent with experience caring for a Great Dane. I am happy to work with dogs of all sizes. I am happy to make any special accommodations your pet needs, including a special diet or administering medication. I have education in animal training and experience training reptiles. I work full-time but have telework flexibility, meaning that I could work from your home while house-sitting, and walk or play with your pet on my break. I have a calming presence for the pets I’ve worked with. Your pets safety is my top priority. I will respect your space if you choose me as your pet’s caregiver!

“Ariel was excellent and made my first experience on rover very pleasant! Her communication was great and my dogs were very happy as well. She was able to accommodate all my needs with very short notice. I would recommend her to anyone in the area that needs any assistance with your dogs!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14, and it’s truly second nature to me. From playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing a gentle touch, I have experience with animals at every stage of life. I’m experienced in basic puppy training, including leash manners, crate comfort, and establishing routines. I’ve also raised and cared for cats, dogs, and even a 4-week-old kitten who’s still with me 10 years later. I also spent my high school years working on a farm, which gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals—dogs, cats, lizards, fish, chickens, sheep, cows, pigs, goats, and horses. That background taught me how to stay calm, attentive, and adaptable in any situation. I also have experience administering medications—pills, liquids, and topicals—and am trained in pet first aid, giving me the confidence to handle unexpected situations calmly and effectively. With my medical background as a full-time nurse and my lifelong love of animals, I provide thoughtful, dependable care you can trust. Throughout high school and college, I was regularly trusted to house sit and care for pets while families were away—something I take great pride in. Today, I share my life with a dog, a cat, and a horse of my own, so I understand just how much your pets mean to you. Whether your pet needs active playtime, patient care, or just a calm, comforting presence, I’m here to provide the same love and attention I give my own. I’m a full-time registered nurse at the University of Maryland Medical Center, working three 12-hour shifts per week. This schedule gives me several days off in between, which I dedicate to pet care—perfect for drop-in visits, walks, and weekend boarding. For boarding, my husband Kevin and I provide care in our home. With our combined schedules, your pet will rarely be left alone. Kevin also has years of experience with animals and dog training, so your pet will be in capable, caring hands with both of us. We treat every pet like part of our family and are committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved during their stay. In My Home: Your pet will enjoy a safe, fun, and loving environment! I have a fenced-in yard where they can play freely with my friendly, playful dog. On hot days, there’s a shallow kiddie pool for splashing fun—and while we do have a larger pool, it’s securely fenced off for safety. Whether your dog prefers lounging or playing, they’ll have the space and freedom to feel at home. Dogs are welcome on the couch and bed, and I’m happy to follow any crate or sleep routines you request. I treat each pet like one of my own—comfortable, happy, and cared for. In Your Home: I’m respectful of your space and always leave things clean and as I found them. I make sure your pet is safe, secure, and happy—whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just companionship. I always leash dogs before heading out, and I pay close attention to your pet’s routine, preferences, and safety while you’re away.
