“We asked Maura to stay with one of our dogs in our house for 5 days, and things went great! She sent updates when we checked in, and also on her own. We told her this was our first time using Rover, or any service like this, and she was really helpful with our few questions. Jameson is new to our household, so she provided great feedback when we got back home. She was great with Jameson, and we'd absolutely reach back out to her again! Also, she brought in out HelloFresh box and put it in the fridge - above and beyond!”


“As first-time clients with two energetic dogs, we couldn’t be happier with Caitlin. She is very reliable & kind and clearly an animal lover. Her communication was excellent providing us peace of mind while away. We are beyond thankful for such a positive experience and highly recommend her services!!”

“Edelyn was a wonderful and caring dog sitter. Extremely trustworthy, provided great updates, and left my home in pristine condition! I highly recommend her for your pets.”


“Amanda was always on time, even early. Gunner was comfortable with her from the very beginning and she is soft-spoken as well. Gunner never seemed to be anxious at all and they got along well. I felt comfortable leaving Gunner in Amanda’s care.”

“10/10 would recommend. Brendan was consistently checking in and communicating with me during his stay at my home for the holidays. He also prioritized my pups and was basically at my house the whole time which is amazing for one of my dogs separation anxiety. He also left my home very clean and even put the sheets in the washer for me! Feeling very thankful I found someone my dogs are comfortable with and takes great care of my home. Thank you Brendan!”

“Heather is amazing! She took great care of my two dogs- one with dementia/anxiety who needs extra love. She followed the dogs normal schedules, administered medications, and exercised their bodies and brains. She also left the house very clean. It was so nice to come home to calm dogs and a clean house! Thank you Heather!”

“Christine was great! She stayed at our home with our 2 dogs. She treated our home with respect, picked up after herself, and even put her sheets in the wash. Our dogs were well taken care of and she sent daily updates. I highly recommend Christine if you are looking for a sitter!”

About: I have taken care of a wide variety of dog and cat breeds since I was old enough to stay home on my own. Professionally, since I was licensed, I have been pet sitting, walking and doing drop-ins for family, friends and neighbors. I have experience with dogs of several breeds and ages, with specialized care regimens. With cats I have a healthy experience and I still pet sit for a parent who has eleven cats, all with unique personalities and needs, and I live with two of my own. I posses the patience required to care for your pet who may require extra time, attention, and understanding to meet their care needs. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of advanced age who need specialized care such as medication administration, teeth brushing, incontinence assistance and working with hearing loss. Beyond older pets, I am familiar with dogs who may be unpredictable with others and have experience with redirection, avoidance and communicating to others to not approach. Finally, I have experience with anxious pets that require reassurance, quality time and play to be fulfilled by their sitter. I am currently not working outside of pet-sitting and have the time and drive to provide the level of care your pet deserves. My own cats are on a specific feeding schedule and do require my being home to feed them around 2pm every day. I aim to take all considerations into account to provide for you and your pet family. Clear communication and understanding expectations is how I may best serve your furry friends. I like to follow instruction to the letter and keep safety of all parties a priority. In this area of work my approach is to not guess if I do not know, better to always ask for clarity when uncertain and look for the same in clients.
About: I’ve always been around animals and have grown up caring for pets of my own, along with helping family and friends take care of their pets while they’re out of town. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and feel like I naturally connect well with them. I’m very responsible and always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so my schedule is very free and flexible! Besides a few summer classes during the week, I have a lot of open availability throughout the day. I’m available for pet sitting, check-ins, or walk-ins anytime between 9 AM to 5 PM and I am happy to work with specific times if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they are comfortable and keep them on their routine. I love making sure that they stay active by being outside and taking them for walks making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, cared for properly, and feel comfortable while their owners are away by spending quality time with them, playing with them, and giving them love and attention.
“I love how much Lisa loved my pups! From the moment she walked in the door I could sense her kindness and gentleness for my lively guys. She is very communicative and flexible as well. Kudos to her as well for leaving the house in the same if not better condition than when I left! Thank You!”

About: Its not rocket science. I love animals and provide a lot of petting and physical love, and physical activity compared to the other pretenders. Grew up in Sweden, army veteran. When dogsitting I have a hobby, I play bridge at city hall in cornelius, so sometimes id be away for as much a 4.5 hrs. I can also not play... I can't have a pet at my place save for a few minutes. All I can say is, I'll play with your dogs more than ladies do!
About: I’ve had a strong passion for caring for animals my whole life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve also raised puppies and helped care for a kitten, giving me experience with both young and growing pets. I’ve had my own dog for four years and have regularly cared for many other dogs and cats as well. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every pet has their own unique personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, or full of energy! I’m very patient and gentle with shy or skittish animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. I’m just as happy providing calm, slow-paced care for senior pets as I am keeping up with energetic, playful ones. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, always adjusting my care to fit each pet’s personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for by giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved while you’re away! 💗 I am currently studying as an art major, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available most times of the day. This makes it easy for me to provide consistent and attentive care, whether that’s early feedings, walks, or evening companionship. Because I have control over my schedule, I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get the time, attention, and routine they’re used to. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a space that feels safe and familiar. I always follow your routines and instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, walks, or any special care your pet needs. I take time to get to know each pet and their personality, making sure they feel comfortable, calm, and loved while you’re away. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy keeping them company. I also respect your home, keep things clean, and provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands!
“Lily is amazing. She was available on a Friday evening with short notice, and agreed to sit my 16-mo old mixed breed rescue Bo in my RV at Cherry Hill Park in College Park, MD. She was on time, has a charming personality and an incredibly calming and loving demeanor with dogs! Bo has some separation anxiety, but the second I met Lily I knew he'd be in the best of caring hands. An hour into my outing, Lily sent a pic of Bo completely chill and snuggling with her on the couch. Thank you Lily!!!”

“Nancy is amazing. My two pups adore Nancy. Nancy stayed with my pups for 5 days and everything and everyone was wonderful when we arrived back home. Nancy sent apictures every day along with a synopsis of their day.”


“We use Jen so often as a dog walker, she's practically family to our little pup! Jen is an amazing, responsible, and communicative person, with whom we have always had great experiences. I can't recommend her more highly. Thanks again, Jen!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I currently have 2 dogs, Odis (2yo) and Nala (5yo). The absolute loves of my life! With Nala being epileptic, I’m always aware vigilant. I also have a 4 year old manecoon, who loves some playtime and a good nap afterwards lol I work from home every Friday and I’m available on weekdays for anyone’s last minute getaways! If any extra days are needed, I’m more than happy to change around my schedule. I have a large front yard and back yard for dogs to run and play! Both very very friendly and always looking for another buddy to play fetch with. I will always make time for your dog to run and play and get all the energy out.
“Julia did a great job with Nima. My dog doesn’t trust very easily but she was patient and loving and after a few days Nima totally took to her. I am very grateful for how well she took care of her and how much love she showed her. I highly recommend Julia.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. From walking, feeding, and playtime to administering medication and providing comfort, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and happy. I enjoy giving extra attention to puppies or senior dogs who need special care. As a full-time student in Rome, Georgia, I carefully organize my schedule to provide consistent dog care during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and extended stays, ensuring dogs are always comfortable and well-cared-for. I prioritize safety and a clean, secure environment. Dogs in my care receive proper supervision, exercise, and affection. I follow all instructions carefully and treat every home and pet with the same love I give my own.

Lauren was the perfect pet sitter and house guest. She was responsive and even came by for a meet and greet before coming to stay during our vacation. Our senior dog requires daily medication and Lauren was comfortable administering. We came home to a very happy pup and a clean house. Will definitely look forward to reaching out to Lauren again when we go out of time. Thanks again, Lauren!

Nicole did an amazing job watching our pups while we were away for a week. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos of our babies, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even managed to train our ravenous eater to sit and wait patiently for his food! We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pups with extra special care. We will absolutely use her again whenever we can’t take our fur babies with us.

Sam Assemgul was excellent! She performed all expected tasks as requested in a professional manner. Sam treated my dog with good care and love. She also sent me daily text updates and photos/movies which made the 13 day separation doable without worry. Thus, without reservation, I highly recommend Sam as an inhouse, long term dog sitter.
