“Ashley was fantastic! One of the best rover experiences we’ve had. She did everything we requested and more. It’s evident that she loves dogs and our dogs loved her too, even our fragile shelter pup who takes awhile to warm up. Both our pups were calm, energetic and happy when we got home, couldn’t have asked for more.”

“This was my first time having someone other than family watch my dog overnight, and Aliyah put any worries that I had at ease. She was able to follow all of my instructions, and maintained good communication with me daily regarding my dog while I was away. She even sent pictures and videos of him 😊 One thing that is helpful for my dog is his routine, and Aliyah maintained his normal routine without any issues. She also maintained a clean space while I was gone. I’d definitely book Aliyah again if I have to leave my dog overnight! She’s dependable, trustworthy, and easy to work with. My dog loves her! We are very appreciative!”

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, and caring for animals has always been something that comes really naturally to me. I recently adopted my cat, Louis, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I work full-time in behavioral health, so I bring a lot of patience, attentiveness, and calm energy into how I care for animals—especially those who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just some company, I’d love to help! Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I try to keep my schedule balanced so I can be fully present with each pet, and not feel rushed between visits. I’m happy to stick to consistent routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate specific timing needs when I can. I’m especially a good fit for pets who benefit from a calm, steady presence or a little extra patience. I care for every pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, attention, and a really calm energy. I recently adopted my cat, Louisville aka Louis, so I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your space. In your home, I’m very respectful of routines and will follow instructions closely to keep things consistent and low-stress. I take my time building trust, especially with shy or anxious pets (and cats who like to take their time warming up). I’m mindful about safety - secure doors, leashes, clean spaces, and making sure your pet is always comfortable. I’ll also send thoughtful updates and photos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, a walk, or just a cozy presence nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are.

“First time anyone has watched Chloe overnight besides my parents and Chloe is 11.5! Linda made me feel at ease and kept me updated on how Chloe was doing! Linda made sure Chloe got all her medicine. Highly recommend Linda”

“Faith is a fantastic petsitter! We were out of town for 8 days and didn't have to worry about a thing back home. It was wonderful to find a caring person who could spend this much time with our pets. Boarding can be so stressful on our big dogs, but Faith was able to do overnights and wasn't intimidated by our Dobermans in the slightest. She was a perfect fit, and we were so blessed to find her on Rover. It was our first experience with the service platform being new to Southern Maryland, but we will be repeat customers for sure.”

“First let me say this is my first time ever using rover, I rarely leave my fur baby and usually take him with me, but my resort didn’t allow pets. My usual pet sitter canceled last minute, but Nia was more then willing to accommodate me and my pet on such short notice. Such a wonderful experience I was sooo nervous leaving my fur baby, Nia put all my fears and major anxiety at ease. She followed all my instructions to the T! And even FT and sent so many pics of him. She was polite and professional at all times. Would definitely recommend and will only book with Nia in the future.”

“Rubi and Martha did an amazing job taking care of my little pack! I have three little girls that are very attached to me and my husband, but Rubi and Martha went above and beyond to provide good care for them. We had a meet and greet with them, and a visit to my house right before the scheduled dates. They were very accommodating and understanding. During the stay they kept in touch and sending videos and pictures throughout the day. We had an amazing experience and country recommend them enough. Thank you!!”

About: I currently work at a veterinary hospital, where caring for animals is part of my daily routine. I have hands-on experience with feeding, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and handling pets of all temperaments. I also have cats of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, comfort, and routine. I’m confident caring for both dogs and cats, including those that may need extra attention, and I always treat every pet like my own. I work Monday through Friday at a veterinary hospital, so I’m already actively caring for animals throughout the day. I’m available for pet care services in the evenings after work and fully available on weekends. My schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while still giving your pet plenty of attention and time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my experience in a veterinary setting, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, or unusual behavior. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and needs to make them feel as comfortable as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment and follow all instructions closely.

“Shauna did an amazing job watching our babies this weekend. She communicated really well and was very flexible with our last minute booking. We will definitely be using her again when we need a sitter for our three pups.”

Amber H.

“Karima stayed at our house for two full weeks to watch our dog and cat while we were out of town. She was great! Karima was very communicative and sent us photos of both pets every day, and kept the house tidy while we were away. We will definitely use Karima again, as we came home to very happy and chill pets who seem to genuinely miss her now that she’s gone!”

“Nagela was a lifesaver!! I booked my first dog sitter through Rover.com almost one month before a long trip and, unfortunately, she cancelled days before my trip. Luckily, Nagela popped up as a dog sitter in a last minute, frantic search for someone to watch my dog for ten days (including the July 4th holiday). Nagela was extremely professional and prompt from our very first interaction over Rover.com. I felt at ease within minutes of meeting her. She took great care of my dog and my home for over a week on last minute notice!! I think I've found my go-to dog sitter for any future trips!!”

“Xavier was great with our dogs! We have two 110+ pound dogs which can be very intimidating upon first meeting. Xavier was particularly great about letting our shy guy, Fred, have plenty of time/space to get comfortable. He also brushed our dogs and cleaned up some of the dog hair around the house which was much appreciated.”

Robyn F.

“Oh Myles! He is the absolute sweetest! He took care of my babies this weekend and was more than accommodating. Our girl is Leary of newer people and barked and growled at him when he entered our home. He took his time and didn’t give up and they became best buds. He was very respectful of our home and focused on the dogs to make them feel comfortable the entire time. Myles is the ONLY sitter who will watch my dogs when we travel. Welcome to the family!!”

Basically if I know something about something you’ll know too. I hope that we can work together in the future to make your and your pups life easier.

About: Compassionate & Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust Life gets busy, and sometimes you need an extra hand to ensure your pets get the love and care they deserve! Whether you're traveling for work, navigating unexpected life events, or simply need support juggling it all, I’m here to help!!☺️ With over two years of professional experience as a doggy daycare attendant and handler, I’ve supervised playtime, feeding, and enrichment activities for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal psychology, which helps me communicate effectively with pets and ensure they feel safe and loved. Currently, I’m a proud pet parent to a 6-year-old dog and a 1-year-old cat, who live harmoniously thanks to my expertise in bonding and desensitization. I’m compassionate, empathetic, and dedicated to making pet care my top priority. From pet-sitting and drop-ins to administering medication and handling cleanup, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to keep their furry companions happy and healthy. Let me bring that same level of care and dedication to your beloved pets! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work from home and am on break from school until February. This gives me plenty of flexibility to offer drop-in services and provide your pets with the attention and care they need while you're away. When caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. For drop-in visits, I ensure your pet's routine is followed and that they’re in a safe, secure environment. I take extra precautions, especially with dogs, by making sure all cords and potential hazards are put up and out of reach to prevent any accidents. For dogs, I also provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and enrichment to keep them happy and engaged. If a situation arises where drop-ins are not sufficient and your cat needs boarding, I offer a peaceful, safe solution with my custom-built catio outside my patio. This enclosed space allows your cat to enjoy fresh air and a secure outdoor experience, while still being protected and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I am committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your pet.

About: I provide loving care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors, with experience in training, special needs, and making every animal feel safe. As a retiree, my days revolve entirely around the animals in my care. They receive my full attention, love, and time—morning to night, every single day. I live in a safe, animal-friendly waterfront neighborhood with very few cars and plenty of space to play. Pets enjoy walks to nearby parks and, for water-loving “babies,” splashing adventures at the bay—all in a calm, welcoming environment where they’re treated like family.

About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active. With a love for all breeds and a commitment to personalized care, I offer dog walking services that go beyond just a quick stroll. Whether it’s a lively adventure or a calm, scenic walk, I treat your furry friend like my own—ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.

“Cierra is an amazing sitter! She’s a great communicator and truly loves animals. She took great care of my baby and we will definitely be asking for her to come back!”
