“Joanne watched my 2 Russell terriers for a week at my house and did a great job following their usual day. She took them for walks and every day sent me pictures of them and how she was doing activities with them since they are old and set in their ways. I felt very comfortable having her with them since this was my first time with Rover. I would definitely recommend her for someone who will be away and know they are well cared for.”


“Heidi was fantastic with Quincy! It's so refreshing to work with someone who is not only organized but also makes sure everything is clearly laid out, ensuring everyone is on the same page. She asked great questions to understand Quincy’s needs and gave him all the care and attention he deserved. Heidi provided the perfect amount of updates and even went the extra mile to give Quincy additional stimulation by taking him to one of his favorite walking spots. She truly goes out of her way to understand the dogs she cares for and makes sure their owners feel at ease. It’s been a pleasure working with her!”


“We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Heather. After a few disappointing encounters with other sitters who didn’t even show up to meet our dog, Heather was a breath of fresh air. Not only did she show up as promised, but she immediately connected with our dog, treating him with genuine warmth and affection. While we were away, Heather cared for our pup as if he were her own—providing regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear he was in loving and capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Heather to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. She exceeded all of our expectations.”


“Jessica was awesome! Our dogs loved her and she really stepped in during a time of panic for us when we lost our original dog sitter 2 days before vacation. 5-star rating all around and we will definitely book with her again!”


“Lauren was great with our pups! We have three big dogs and she sent updates on each one when she let them and fed them! It made it easier on me being gone knowing they were well taken care of. We came home to three happy dogs!! Will definitely be using Lauren again in the future.”


“OMG! Natalie just watched our dog Sophia for a week while we were on vacation. She sent so many pictures, some which were better than we have ever taken! She is a great photographer so expect amazing frame worthy photos. Our house was so clean and she even washed the sheets from the guest room! I almost didnt leave a great review because we want her to ourselves!”


“We happily had Laurie spend a long weekend with our 2 dogs at our house and everything was great! She sent lots of photos of the dogs and they seemed very much like they enjoyed themselves. She even got my picky dog to eat. Respectful with the house and we returned to happy dogs and a clean house.”


About: I've taken care of friends, family and neighbors animals since I was about 12. Feeding, water, play. I'm more familiar with dogs and cats but I can also take care of other pets you might have including fish, hamsters and even chickens! Whether you have 1 pet or 3, need overnight care or just a walk, your pets are in great hands! I'm currently home from college for the summer, so I have flexible hours and many free days. I can spend lots of time with your pets! I will follow the rules you have set for your household. I can crate dogs and keep them off furniture. And for those silly routines they have, I'm more than happy to give them a treat when they come back inside, say a release word for meals or stop to sniff every single tree on their walk.

“I always know my boys are in good hands when we have Kelly stay with them. My house is also well taken care of and we are given updates along the way. Def will continue to book her when she is available for our vacations!”


“Christine was a perfect fit with my girls!!! She treated them as family and took very good care of them while we were out of town! I definitely will be using Christine again!”


“Miranda was absolutely wonderful taking care of my little one while I was on a 3 business trip. Bella LOVES her new friend. Definitely will be rebooking with Miranda again!”


About: Hi, my name is Jadyn and I am the perfect fit for your pet! I have a 12 year old pit bull that I’ve been loving and taking care of for years, as well as a new 6 month old addition to the family. I love all animals from massive to small and I would be lucky to work with you to take care of your loved ones I am currently a college student at Shepherd University with my most busy day of the week being Wednesdays. I am very adaptable and willing to run back to your home in between classes to ensure your pet is well taken care of. Whenever I take on a new service, I prefer to meet the per first in order to establish a little bit of familiarity between the two of us in a relaxed environment. I love to take dogs on long walks and play with puppies or otherwise energetic dogs. I also like to relax and chill with a cat. I am very attentive to what you would like me to do with your pets; and I always reach out in case of any confusion, or just to check in and send you pictures of your pet.

“Claire did an amazing job house and pet sitting for us! She was prompt, attentive, knowledgeable and very personable. She left our house clean and tidy, and pets well cared for. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi! I’m Andrea, proud pet parent to two pups—Joey, my sweet mixed mutt, and Lacy, my loyal (and a little sassy!) Boxer. They’re my world, and I care for every animal like they’re my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including seniors, and I’m comfortable giving medications—whether it’s pills, drops, or injections. I’m also a cat lover and would be happy to care for your feline friends too! Whether you need someone for daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your furry family! I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule for walks, feedings, and lots of belly rubs. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays in your home. I don’t currently offer pet stays at my place—Lacy’s a little too sassy with other dogs and likes to keep her kingdom to herself. I’ve got experience with senior pets, giving medications, and caring for cats too! Whether your pet is full of zoomies or prefers a cozy nap buddy, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away. When I’m caring for your pet, my goal is to make them feel as safe, loved, and comfortable as possible. I take the time to get to know their personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly—and tailor my care to fit their needs. I stick closely to their routine, whether that means scheduled walks, playtime, feedings, or quiet companionship. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, especially with senior pets or those who need medications. Your pet will get plenty of love, snuggles, and attention while you’re away—just like they would at home.

“Dominika did a great job taking care of our three cats and tiny dog while the entire family took a long-awaited vacation. We usually leave a family member at home to care for the pets as we have very detailed care instructions. She and her family have experience with our rare breed of dog, Prague Ratters, and our boy Vozel loves her! Excellent communication and photos every day. Will definitely book Dominika again!”


“Ximena was wonderful to work with. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and kept me informed about how my cats were doing.. It was great not to have to worry about them when I was away. We are new to the area and will be using her when we travel.”


About: I've taken care of pets professionally since I was college-aged, worked in 2 kennels with additional care given via baths, nail trims, etc. Have also owned dogs and cats all throughout my life. Comfortable with all sizes. I work from home, so I'm available all day to take care of your pet! I have a 1 year old black Labrador who is so sweet and loves to play, so hopefully they can wear each other out! I have a fenced yard and a black Lab that is very sweet and friendly to keep your pet company! She's probably more excited to see them than I am! You can expect frequent potty breaks, administered medicine I'd needed, and lots of playing!

Burkittsville pet parents share their Rover experiences
We are always concerned about finding the right person to take care of our dogs when we are away. Maya is a college student, so summer is the perfect time for her to stay with our dogs. She also fed our fish and chickens and watered flowers. Our two Dobermans were happy with Maya, and she sent us text photos to keep us informed. Having someone trustworthy staying in our home with our dogs was a huge relief. She is a lovely person.
