“Gaye was incredible with our anxious dog. She was patient and calm and made him feel safe while we were away. Now he LOVES her. We will definitely be using her again!!”


“Mandi was incredibly perfect for my family! I booked her for my parents while I was a few states away, and Mandi was awesome at communicating and setting up a visit with my parents! Their cat (was originally my cat, but my other cats would chase her) has a habit of grabbing her tail which leaves some minor scratches and requires some ointment application. Mandi applied it as needed and let us know when that was! She was also able to adjust her visits as my parents ended up leaving later than anticipated, and got back a day early. I would most certainly recommend Mandi for your pet sitting needs!”


“Heather has done an amazing job with my pup Courage. Since he's so young, i have her dropping by twice a day while I am at work, and she sends me video and photo updates of my pup. Courage seems to be warming up to her and I appreciate that he's in good hands.”


“Kristen has been so amazing with Sulley! He is normally hesitant around new people and he took to her so quickly! She is great at playing with him and respects my instructions. She is empathetic and goes beyond to help — even my sweet four year old cat who is afraid of everyone immediately walked out to greet her! She is going to be a regular visitor for Sulley and myself. ❤️”


“Rebecca was amazing! She was flexible with a short notice change and it was much appreciated! Dependable and right on time! I loved the feedback and pictures! Will definitely book with her again!! Thank you so much, Rebecca! 🌟”



“As always, Gizmo looks forward to her visits with Katherine. There is plenty of play time, love and attention so I feel comfortable going on vacation. 10 out of 10!!!!”


“For our first time using rover we were very pleased with Cari and the services provided. I felt comfortable with leaving my animals in her care. All her visits were right at the time agreed upon and the dogs were well taken care of with updates at every drop in.”


“Dianne gave our pup the VIP treatment! She went above and beyond our expectations for drop in visits. She treated him with special Santa treats for Christmas! I felt comfortable knowing I was leaving him in good hands. She included videos in her Rover cards and was on time, every time. Blu can’t wait to see her again soon!”


“Arnie is incredible! He came over a few days before my first booking to meet my 2 dogs. My senior dog warmed right up to him, and my 3 year old rescue even allowed some scratches and to be held. I was able to tell they both felt safe and secure with Arnie around. My senior needs a little extra help up and down the stairs, and I’m still working on leash confidence with the 3 year old. These things didn’t faze Arnie or stand out as a problem. He was ready to tackle them head on. This made me feel safe and secure knowing my babies would be in goods hands with him. I’m so thrilled that Arnie will be a buddy for my pups, and give me some peace of mind when I have a long work day!”


“Patten was a God send, since I had to pull last minute shifts with the wife being away for work. Daisy took to her so well and she really made sure to keep Daisy company and not just feed her take her out and leave for the day. She truly cared enough to play with Daisy and make sure that she ate all her food before she would take her out. Again cannot be more grateful how helpful and caring she was to Daisy.”


“Lindsey is extremely kind, prompt and very meticulous about her work with animals. Our dogs both enjoyed their time with her, especially our boy Max who was treated to a walk to his favorite location in Martinsburg. We are looking forward to future visits with Lindsey, and would definitely recommend her. 😊”


“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”


About: I grew up with dogs and have trained up two puppies in the last five years, one of them was a hunting dog. Currently I have a four-year-old tabby named Coco! I love to be active and play outside but I’m also happy to just sit and love on your fur babies, throw around toys or whatever makes your animals happy! I typically work Monday through Thursday until about 3 PM. I’m happy to do evening care if you’re working late or if you need someone for a long weekend to pop in! I am a big fan of the philosophy, meet people or in this case pets where they are. I pride myself on being respectful, and will essentially do whatever is asked of me, to make your animal or fur baby the most comfortable!


About: I’ve always had a dog in my life and truly believe they’re family. I will love and care for your fur babies as if they were my own! 🐾 By day, I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), which means I have extensive experience with behavior management, patience, and building trust—skills that also make me a calm, attentive, and reliable companion for your pets. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or overnight care, your fur baby will be in safe, loving hands. Let me give your baby the care and attention they deserve when you can’t be there! I work remotely several days a week so have a flexible schedule! My schedule allows me to focus on your baby and ensure they have what they need. I have a fenced in yard and live in a community that is perfect for walks. I also have a doggy door that your pup can use if needed.

“Stephanie was an absolute DREAM for my babies. I went out of town for a few days and normally my babies get a bit of anxiety when I leave for more than a day. When I came home, they were as happy as can be and we’re not distraught at all. She took such good care of them and always kept in contact with pictures. This is more than a job for her, she truly will love your babies and treat them as her own!”


About: Hi there! I’m Emma, your local pet lover in Hagerstown, MD. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve grown up with pets and can’t imagine a home without them. I currently share my space with Jax, my playful boxer mix, and Mushu, my quirky little axolotl. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or critters of all kinds, I’m passionate about giving animals the love and care they deserve. Whether it’s energetic pups, mellow seniors, or quirky critters, I treat every pet like family. I’m reliable, attentive, and passionate about making sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. Let’s make sure your furry friends are in great hands! Im currently doing Rover full time while taking a break from the corporate world! I am very flexible. Let me know what you need and I will do my best to make it work. I mainly do drop ins at your home while you’re away for your furry friend. Whether it be a drop in over lunch while you’re at work to make sure they get a little extra love and exercise throughout the day. Or if you’re going away for a few days I can also come a few times a day to make sure they’re taken care of!

About: Since high school, I have helped my parents take care of our goldendoodle. I love taking him on walks and showing him love. I am looking forward to giving your pet the same loving care that I give my family's pet! I am most free to walk dogs on the weekends (Friday and Sunday) and in the late afternoon and early evening on weekdays. From June to August I can walk them during the daytime since I am a teacher, and my summer schedule is more flexible. I will not be taking any pets into my home for boarding care since I do not currently own my own home and am not allowed to have pets in this rental house.

Taylor G.
“Taylor has overnight sat for my dog. I have a very protective and reactive Australian Shepherd who barks and lunges every time someone enters the home. We have a very short list of people who can help with him because it takes confidence to not be intimidated by his antics. She does very well with Roo and follows all instructions on his care, would definitely recommend!”
