“Kasper followed all instructions and was able to handle my dogs who can be a bit much even if instructions followed. Not to mention an extra one on top of it. Would and will use them again!”

“Ella is an incredible Pet Sitter! She is conscientious, attentive, and really, really good with animals. She was very responsive to all of my texts. My dog was recovering from surgery and she administered all medications and was careful with stairs, running, and jumping. I enjoyed my vacation because I didn’t have to worry about the care of my pet while I was gone. Thank you, Ella for a great job!”


“I have been nervous for a while to use rover for my two kitties and Allison coming and staying at my house showed me why I did not need to be worried! Allison loved and cared for my cats so much! She gave them their daily medicines with food, worked with my automatic litter boxes, and most importantly played and loved on them so much! She was very very communicative and responsive and also sent me so many cute pictures! I always miss my cats so much when I’m gone so this helped me a lot! I also frequently asked how things were going and Allison was very responsive which helped reassure me! She also left my home neat and tidy how it was left for her which was nice to come home to! Allison rocks and I am so appreciative to have someone so kind and thoughtful taking care of my pets! It’s going to make leaving them to go out of town a little easier :) thank you so much Allison!!!!”

“This is the second time Stephanie has sat for our cat, Midnight. She was well cared for. Stephanie played with Midnight and made sure Midnight was kept on her special diet of wet food. She also kept us informed with updates and pictures. We look forward to having Stephanie watch Midnight again.”

“I don't know where to begin - Jasper was a phenomenal sitter for my pup, Hershey. Jasper made time to meet Hershey beforehand her sitting days to ensure that each of us would be comfortable with the arrangement. Over the course of the week I was away, Jasper made sure to keep me updated about everything that was happening with Hershey by sending messages, and pictures throughout the day everyday. I appreciated Jasper’w positive attitude, patience, and willingness to work with Hershey through her anxiety and anxiousness from being in a new environment and around a new person. There is no doubt in my mind that Hershey was well taken care of. Jasper is the perfect sitter if you're looking for someone who is going to spend time with your dog, give them attention, send you updates/communicate, and be flexible and willing to work with you and your schedule as well as emergencies that may arise. I highly recommend him and will definitely book with him again! - Tynesha (Hershey's Mommy)”


“We are grateful to find Rebecca to watch Murphy, our English lab. Murph can be a bit of a diva, he demands a lot of attention and can be difficult to walk sometimes. He requires a lot of patience! Rebecca is great, she is very responsible and I trust her with my beloved pup. I appreciate the updates she gave and the level of care she provided. We will definitely be seeking Rebeccas’ services again soon!”

About: I have had all different types of animals since I was a kid. For the past several years I have spent time fostering cats and dogs as well as adopting my own dog, (who is blind), Willow! I currently have a work from home job that allows for a flexible schedule and availability that can fit the needs of you and your animals! They will be given attention throughout the day and walked as needed. I am home all day to monitor the animal(s) and I have toys, crates of different sizes and gates if they are ever needed. Local to several nature trails and dog parks as well as many dog-friendly establishments that I frequent in warmer weather!
“Beth was such an amazing pet sitter! She was very friendly, attentive, communicative, sent us lots of pictures and overall just went above and beyond in taking care of our pets and house while we were away. It was a huge peace of mind knowing our beasties were in such great hands. Would highly recommend her!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple pets in a home setting. My mom has two dogs that I regularly help care for tasks including feeding, walking, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also pet sat for my sister’s dog, one of my mom’s dogs, and a friend’s dog all at the same time, so I’m comfortable managing multiple pets with different personalities and needs. This experience has helped me stay organized, patient, and attentive to each pet’s routine and behavior. In addition to dogs, I’ve cared for other pets such as a lizard and fish, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their specific care needs. I’m also happy to help with small tasks like watering plants while clients are away. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and on their normal schedule. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m currently a full-time college student with a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide pet care during weekdays, weekends, and varying times of day as needed. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment in every pet sitting experience. Since I care for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. During walks, your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always use secure leashing, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid unsafe situations such as busy roads or unfamiliar dogs. I take the time to understand each pet’s behavior and comfort level to ensure safe, enjoyable walks.
About: I always lead with patience and care. Animals are clear communicators and we just need to listen. I am medically trained (for humans primarily), but I know those skills and knowledge are highly transferable. I work primarily in a hospital. Even though my schedule is consistently changing, I have multiple days off during the week. This allows me to visit anytime throughout the days im off and leaves a lot of flexibility. Respect is key. Whether its for the pet or the home, I believe all things should be approached respectfully and mindfully. I am happy to follow whatever house rules or pet routines you may have.
“Hailey was amazing! She is so kind and professional. My girls loved her! She took such great care of them. She communicated, sent updates, and pictures. Reached out with any questions or concerns. She went over and above taking care of my house, leaving it very clean. I am so happy I found her.”

“Camille was so sweet with my puppy Remy:) she took such great care of her while I was gone on extended leave. I didn’t have to worry about Remy at all while I was away. Highly recommend her to others looking for pet sitting”

“Evelyn was great! She even came for two meet and greets and was undeterred by my rescue dog Roxy’s difficult behavior during the introductions. She managed the fact that my three dogs have different needs very well, and was communicative. I’d highly recommend her, especially if you’re worried about leaving an anxious dog with a sitter.”

“From the initial meet and greet to the actual house/pet sitting, Dominick was fantastic. He maintained great communication with us throughout and made us feel at ease using Rover.com for the first time. He was professional and courteous and we wouldn't hesitate to use Dominick's services in the future!”

About: As a friendly cat-sitter for family friends around the area, and cat owner for years, I know the responsibilities of caring for one. These include changing the litter, understanding feeding schedules, playing, etc. I have taken care of cats from all stages of life! Additionally, I have taken care of friends’ dogs while they are out of town by feeding, walking, and playing with them! Your pet will be cared for like my own, and rest assured they will be loved, content, fed, and safe while you are gone! I am available for last-minute holiday visits! I’m currently a full time student and work a part time job as an intern at FCPS. I am available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. Please message me first, I am very flexible! I can assure you your dogs will stay active, fed, groomed, and cared for in every way! As far as cats I have one at home so I will adjust to the cats’ personality by giving them space if need be. Additionally, I will make sure they are clean, fed, and hydrated!

Abigail did a fantastic job!! She was on time, reliable, left our home in great condition, exceeded our expectations, and our fur-babies absolutely loved her! I came home briefly to grab an item, and found them all curled up on the sofa together. It was such a relief to know that my home and my animals were in good hands. We will definitely be using her again, and totally recommend her to anyone seeking quality pet care. Thank you, Abigail!

Diane was fantastic. Communicated exceptionally well from the beginning. Made us feel comfortable with messages, pics and texts of our two boys. It was our first time leaving our 7 month old and we felt at ease throughout our trip. Sweet disposition with animals and very thankful for her assistance.

Sarah was able to help us out last minute yet she came through exceeding all our expectations while dog sitting our little monsters and she kept us updated throughout the day and cleaned up their messes as well. We didnt have to worry about our dogs at all for our trip
