“Marian is AMAZING. I can't say enough good things. She showed up exactly when asked to each time, left us a detailed report, and tons of pictures for each visit. We will use her every time we need someone in the future. I couldn't recommend Marian enough!”

“First time using Rover for our 2 dogs and Megan didn’t disappoint!! She’s a kind hearted animal lover which my dogs sensed right away! She is reliable and trustworthy! I would definitely use Megan again!”

“Julia was absolutely amazing! She was right on time, very flexible, super sweet, and treated my puppy, Fern, like her own! She and Fern became fast friends, and Fern was very sad to see Julia go. I’ll be booking with Julia again, no question about that!”

“Jennifer was excellent, especially when it came to meeting my 12 year-old fear reactive Australian Sheppard. We took the meet and greet slow to make sure everyone was comfortable. It worked because their first check-in visit went very well.”

“We brought our dog Mutig over to see how he got along with Yvonne, her family home, and with their dog Quincy before we go on a big trip. They were warm, inviting, and asked great questions. Quincy and Mutig hit it off racing around the yard and it put us at ease knowing we will have a good place to leave him where he will have care and a great playmate!”


About: Grew up with a very small dog but my family used to dog-sit and walk dogs for my neighbors with all kinds of dogs! We trained our dog and I know a good amount about owning/taking care of dogs and puppies from past experience. I am currently a full time college student so I’m pretty flexible! I’m pretty available in the morning, nights and sporadically during the day. I walk my dog twice a day for 20 minutes minimum given that she is a small pup and I'm ready to accommodate to any pups needs. I make sure to train her with training treats to keep mental stimulation up! I am also very attentive to make sure she’s always comfortable and safe!
About: I’ve always been good with animals. My family has been raising dogs since I was a little kid and I really love all our pets. I work part time, usually in the afternoons/night. This would be something good for me to do during the day to keep working and staying busy. I have been walking my dogs and taking care of them since I was 9. I’ve always been responsible for cleaning up after them and keeping them safe. I’d do the same for any dog I’d walk or let out.
“Yareli is a responsible, pleasant, kind and caring pet sitter. I felt comfortable giving her access to my home while I was away and entrusting her with the care of my kitties. Her rates are reasonable and I would use her services again!!”
About: I have dog sat for many families since 2017. I have a border collie myself so I am familiar with high energy dogs. I love going on long walks. I am currently looking to fill a few weeks out of my summer, but nothing long term. On those days, I am available from 9 am-5 pm. I love spending time with dogs and playing with them. I love any opportunity for dogs to show off their tricks. I will keep a close eye on your dog and provide needed exercise .
Elk Mills dog parents share their Rover experiences
I have been using Marlee for at least 10 years and she never disappoints. This is the third dog I have had under the care of Marlee when I have to travel and she does amazing. She goes above and beyond and couldn’t be more thorough diligent and loving with my pet. I have the highest regard and recommendation for Marlee.

We love Marlee, as does our dog!! We’ve been able to relax on vacation knowing our dog is in good hands. Marlee went above and beyond while we were away and a storm came through to check on our fridge and thermostat after we lost power. It can be stressful leaving your dog home alone, but with Marlee we know our dog is ok!
