1. Melissa Z.


“Melissa was absolutely *phenomenal* -- and is now highly recommended! She was professional and thorough, and listened to our concerns during our pre-trip meet-and-greet. Not only did that give us incredible peace of mind while we were away from our two cats for a week (which carries a great deal of value in and of itself!), but she went above and beyond overall by leaving some treats and food behind for them, using scented trash bags when cleaning the litter box, and sending wonderful updates that included daily pictures and details of her visits. But most importantly, our kitties seemed to genuinely like her and feel comfortable with her very quickly, which is saying a lot for our shy one in particular. She seems to care quite a bit for animals just like we do, and that brings a great deal of comfort to anxious owners who are far from home. We will definitely book with her again!”


2. Lidia G.

“Lidia has been amazing! She provides great care, communication and love to our fur babies. So glad we booked with her and using her again. We love the report cards and pics. I would highly recommend her!”


3. Amber S.
About: I have always loved animals! Especially dogs, I grew up around dogs.. Even watched a few neighbors dogs for them! I am currently on campus in college and the university is a great and friendly environment to walk through! I’m currently working on campus and will have plenty of time to walk your furry friends!!! Such as taking them to large fields to run on and even have some Towson toys to bring along! The clients home would be best! I live on dorm , therefore cannot bring the dog to my place, but it would be great to just walk on campus or around the neighborhood!


4. Katherine S.

“Katherine was great! Very communicative, friendly, and our dog loved her. She did a drop in visit for us, sent lots of photos and a detailed note. We will definitely use her again!”


5. Kelly C.


“Kelly was awesome with both my fur babies. After we had a booking cancelled last minute from another sitter, she was quick to respond to our request. I have 2 English Bull Terriers who are stubborn and not used to visits. She was able to handle them without issues. They got used to her quickly and she would always send me pictures and updates. She definitely treated them as her own and that meant the world to us. I would recommend her to anyone who loves their fur babies. Thank you Kelly! ❤️”


6. Karissa S.
“Karissa has been our trusted pet caregiver for the past six years, and she has truly been exceptional. She is always punctual and has formed a unique and special bond with our cats and dog. We wholeheartedly recommend her services for anyone seeking loving and reliable care for their cherished pets.”


7. Samm S.

“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!! ?”


8. Nicole T.

“Nicole was absolutely fantastic while I was traveling out of town for 5 days. She was extremely responsive from the start, very eager to learn about my cat during the meet and greet, and is just an all around sweet person. I highly recommend her for anyone considering her services.”


9. Dalara & Jack F.

“First timer, here, and brand new to the city. Dalara and Jack go far beyond what I would have expected from a dog walking service. Dedicated and loyal, this team makes sure my Willow's adjustment is going well and daily needs are met. Jack comes with an amazing calm presence and my Willow fell in love with ease!.Dalara's love of animals is backed by key professional experiences, providing knowledge concerning any pet medical issues. These two make for a dynamic team that leaves me feeling very positive about my choice ! I love the updates and pictures I receive during the day. I've chosen to book with them again! Thank you, Jack and Dalara!!!!!!”




10. Sharie H.

About: I'm finishing up my graduate degree from the University of Maryland Global Campus and looking to pet sit part time around my full-time weekly job. I can spend all day with them as needed during the weekends. I have plenty of experience pet sitting for friends and family and I have also volunteered at local pet stores to assist with dog adoptions. I would love to do something that I am passionate about. I have been a dog owner my entire life and I find it very enjoyable and fun. I currently have a 6 year old German Shepard/ Chow mix and a 3 year old Terrier mix who I adopted and love dearly. I live in Brooklyn Park, Maryland in a spacious townhome. I am looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you the best on your search!


11. Joanna P.

“So glad we rebooked with Joanna. She paid special attention to our cat as she was dealing with some bad hairballs and made sure to keep us updated. She went above and beyond helping with Azula and we could not be more grateful. Thank you Joanna!”


12. Ariel M.

“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!”


13. Christopher S.
“Chris has been a fantastic influence on my dog's life. He has taken care of him consistently for the past 2 years - in house or just regular walks. My dog, Frank, is an energetic 100 lb Bernese Mountain Dog. Chris has always done a great job teaching and reinforcing commands. Chris has always gone above and beyond - even taking Frank on long runs to really tire him out! I cannot speak higher of Chris. He is trustworthy and reliable. I'd highly recommend his services. A++”

15. Michelle O.

“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!”


16. Caitlin T.
About: I’ve always grown up having dogs or being around them, for the past 7 years I’ve been raising my baby boy Kobe and I really couldn’t imagine my life without dogs in it. It’s always been a passion of mine and I’m excited to help other fur babies! I work part time at a bank and bartend on weekends so it’s a flexible schedule I can work around and I’m already used to caring for my own dog I have a row home in a pretty quiet part of the city and it’s less than a mile away from a big park for great walks and play time

20. Mckenna S.
“McKenna was great with my dog! I got lots of picture updates when she dog sat over the weekend and she took my pup to the dog park! There was a thunderstorm during Makenna’s time with my dog and she went out of her way to make my dog feel comfortable while her parents were away. My dog was very tired and content after her weekend with McKenna, which are great signs of a fun weekend! We highly recommend McKenna and will absolutely use her again!”
