“Kandace was great with our pups! We have 2 Goldens who love to play and be close, and they seemed to settle right in with her family, even during the meet and greet. It gave us peace of mind that they were having their own puppy vacation while we were out of town, and we are extremely grateful!”
“I left my 2 German Shepherds with Marquia for 7 days and they came back extremely happy. She sent me pictures throughout their stay and always kept me updated. I will be using her for all my dog sitting needs from now on!”
“Eric & June were great with our Jack. He Loved his time there and they provided us with daily updates and pictures which helped ease our mind about leaving him. We will definitely be booking again with them in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Lydia was great with Bogie. Although he was anxious of being away from home she was patient with him and kept me updated on his stay. Would recommend her and Bogie will be going back next month for another stay.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
“Happy with Jennifer’s service! She watched both of my puppies and I have no complaints. She sent me updates daily while I was on my trip. Will definitely use her services again in the future”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire life, beginning when I was six years old. Over the past nine years of my military career, I have also gained extensive experience caring for pets while service members were away for field exercises, missions or other military obligations. These experiences have taught me to be responsible, dependable and attentive to individual needs of each animal. I understand the importance of providing consistent care, maintaining routines, and ensuring that pets are safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Although I work full time, I have flexible availability outside of work. I am available for pet care and boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 6:00 p.m., allowing me to provide your pets with attentive and reliable care during my available hours. I have a fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. Our neighborhood also has several nearby parks and a large open field close to our home, providing plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and exploration. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I will follow the owners instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other daily routines. I will also treat the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own home, keeping the space clean and secure while providing the pet with plenty of attention and companionship.
“Jennifer was phenomenal with our pup. She communicates daily and provides you with so many photos to make it feel comfortable leaving your pup with her. I will definitely be using her again. :)”
About: I've taken care of other dogs on and off for at least 15 years, and always been in charge of the house pets. My dog Boba and I go to the park and have lots of experience interacting with many dogs. We get lots of exercise together, have a big yard, and have lots of balls to fetch! If pet sitting, would leave your pet alone for at most 2 hours to bring my dog to the park, if he needs it, or a few minutes to grab food. Would be willing to bring your dog to the park with us. Mostly free roam of house and fenced in and camera'd ~1 acre yard. Fenced in yard, cameras outside to watch. Do not leave home during the day, pet will always have someone nearby. Multiple water bowls and beds.
“Kendra was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures the whole time. This was the first time I’ve used a dog sitter and I will absolutely use Kendra the next time I need someone to keep my baby.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elkton
Alex was absolutely amazing with my pup and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience ! He took really good care of her (even gave her a bath before i picked her up) and kept me updated with tons of pictures and videos, all shared in a Google album, which I loved. It made being away so much easier. I was really impressed and will definitely be booking with him again.
