“100% recommend Jessica! She is very caring and always on time. Sends pictures and gives good updates on your fur baby :) I have used her multiple times and will continue to! She is excellent with communication as well.”

“Leah stopped in each day to feed and medicate our two cats for a week. She was patient with our scaredy cats and always found them in their hiding spots, got their meds to them, and let us know how it went. Highly recommended!”
“This is the second time I’ve used Kim while I’m on vacation to care for my pup who has upper GI issues. She takes such good care of him, gives him his meds and sends me updates with lots of pictures which is a huge relief for me and allows me to relax on vacation! I highly recommend her!!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs ever since I was a kid. Personally, I have three dogs, two golden retrievers and one golden doodle. I have dog sat for friends and family with many different breeds and in different locations over the years. I am a teacher in Calvert county during the school year. After middle of June, I will be free to walk or dog sit all day everyday unless I am booked ahead of time. I have three dogs of my own so I already am used to walking dogs and taking care of them all hours of the day I have a small fenced in area and a crate where I am located. I also have easily accessible areas for walking and enjoying the outdoors. My three dogs are friendly but I am also willing to come to your house for walks, check-in’s, or dog sitting if that is preferred. I have experience with going to others houses to dog sit. For walks, I can do short walks or long walks depending on owners requests.

About: I have a golden retriever of my own, and have been dog sitting, walking and taking care of other families and friends dogs for about 5 years. I am home from college for the summer, and taking classes at night. I am available during the day and mornings, and have fairly open weekends. I have experience walking pets, feeding them, giving them medication if needed, or just spending time with them while their owners are away! I love sending photos and videos to their owners while they are away.
“Caitlin was amazing with my cats while I was gone! She provided me with thorough updates and silly pictures. She definitely made me feel a lot better about leaving them home alone for the first time. I’ll definitely see if she is available again in the future the next time I go on a trip :) thank you, Caitlin!!”

I’ve had my golden doddle puppy in college for 2 years while playing division 1 lacrosse so I know the importance for animal love but I am also dependable, passionate, and trustworthy. I’m available 24/7 and I am very flexible and understand summers can be busy and unpredictable. I will work with whatever time works best for you and your animals :) I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own that loves company and is very friendly. I have creates if need be and also in a nice neighborhood for long walks :)

“Jordan has become our go to for taking care of our girls. I honestly feel like they enjoy it when we leave now cause they get time w their back up human. As always, Thank you Jordan!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life! I love them in all shapes and sizes! I recently had to put my my 16-year-old Pitbull down, and I'm looking for the unconditional love a dog gives you. But I don't want one full time. I'm hoping this will satisfy my desire to own a dog. I love them all big and small! I'm retired, I can show up pretty much whenever you need. Would like to keep it between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. I'll give your pet all the love I can while you're not able to. I'll walk and play fetch, I'll pet and scratch your dog, if that's what they like kind of stuff. I'll bring treats with me, of course if that's okay with you.
About: I’m already someone who loves being home, going on peaceful walks, and keeping things cozy, so adding a furry friend to the mix just makes everything better. I treat pets like little VIP guests and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a routine that feels calm and predictable for them. I always try to match whatever your pet is used to so they feel safe and comfortable. If I’m watching your pet in your home, I keep their routine exactly how you have it. They will have their meals on time, daily walks, play breaks, and plenty of cuddles. I’m very detail-oriented, so I pay attention to the small things like their favorite toy, how they like to be greeted, or where they prefer to nap. If I’m caring for them in my home, they get a clean, cozy environment, lots of love, and a peaceful space to relax. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to what makes them feel happiest. I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own and give them spoiled-in-a-good-way kind of love. I’m patient, observant, and good with pets who may be a little shy or anxious. I have a patient personality and animals tend to trust me quickly. I’m also extremely reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’ve cared for a variety of pets from rambunctious puppies to senior dogs. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: I absolutely love all animals!! I have a Beagle that is great with other dogs and children! I work from home and have a large fenced yard that dogs love! I am ready and available to host your pups for overnight needs or come walk your dog(s) so that you can focus on other needs! If I host your dog overnight, I prefer a housetrained pup but am flexible with that. Expect lots of pictures while your furry family member is here ! I work from home so will be home throughout the day, with the exception of short errands runs. If your pupper needs a crate, please feel free to bring one! Large fenced yard for lots of outdoor time. I have dog beds throughout the house for sleeping, and dogs beds outside for lounging and sunbathing!
About: I recently got to experience what being a fur parent is all about! I never understood what the bond really meant until I had to say goodbye to her. Her name was Bee, short for Beatrice and she was my roommates dog at the time and the more I got to know my roommate the more Bee became my bestfriend. I was fortunate enough to love her, she was the sweetest dog I have ever met and I hope one day to have a bond like theirs when I get my first fur baby!❤️ What sets me apart is that I'll always treat your pets like family, because in the end that's what they become:) I am currently working 5 days out of the week from 2pm to 6pm every week on base!:) I'm off every weekend! So please don't hesitate to reach out if pet care is needed!:) I currently take care of 2 dogs, Bear and Minnie:) I make sure they are fed and given plenty of water always, I take them on walks to use the potty or just to get outdoors, Bear is 4 now so he has a bunch of energy:) They also get spoiled with endless toys lol but I try not to spoil them too much with treats lol. I also used to watch and look after my old roommates dog, his name is Umai:) he's a Shiba. He was the cutest wittle boy ever! Lol

“Kathleen is fantastic! I absolutely love all of the photos she sends during her drop-in visits. She’s comfortable enough to let the pups off their leash to play & they adore her for it! I can definitely notice a positive change in their mood when she visits. I appreciate her thorough visit summaries & adaptability to my changing schedule. She agreed to a meet & greet before the first booking. Although my pups were CRAZY, her calming demeanor around them during the chaos put me at ease. Kathleen is a gem & I would 100% recommend her for your pet care needs.”
About: I have had pets of my own, and I have cared for others' since my teens. I treat them like family because they are family. I have daytime employment, so evenings and weekends are available for walks, playtimes,etc. I can house sit overnights if needed. Please give notice as soon as possible. I'm happy to help your pet stay in their own home and be comfortable. Many pets become anxious when their people leave. Having a companion is helpful.
Dowell pet parents share their Rover experiences
Zenie is such a sweet and kind soul! She was really great about sending updates with photos of our pups. Zenie also did a great job at cleaning up muddy prints from the floor since it was a little rainy while we were away. 😊 She even left a such a thoughtful note and "ducked" me since she is a fellow Jeeper. We look forward to booking with her again!!

Caitlyn was a phenomenal sitter for my boys! I knew she was kind with animals from the start—my cat let her rub his belly immediately during the meet-and-greet 😊 She went out of her way for me several times in two days. When I was nervous that I hadn’t seen one of my cats on a camera, she rushed over to check on them before she was scheduled to. Her responsiveness is SO appreciated. My cats were in safe hands with Caitlyn and I will definitely be booking with her in the future! 🙏🏼

Marissa was incredible. Not only did she tailor her visits to fit the needs of our pups but went above and beyond to make sure that they were more than taken care of. Very communicative and very thorough throughout the entire process. We will definitely be scheduling drop-ins with her again!
