My dog had a great time with Felice. He has stayed with her family many times and he has always been well cared for. Based on his excitement whenever we pull up to her house, I can say with certainty that my dog is happy to spend the day or the night with Felice.

Esther and Yi took great care of Eevee. Eevee was a picky and slow eater but Esther ans Yi was very patient and accompanied her to finish her food. Eevee had a great time with their puppies Milk and Peanut! She can’t wait to have her next vacation in Esther and Yi’s house!

We booked day care with Francine super last minute and she accepted a same day request (on Christmas Eve!!) Our dog had a great time with their 2 dogs, running around in their fenced in back yard and chilling in the house. We would strongly recommend booking with Francine!

About: I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect. I would love to walk or play with your dog, and have committed the time to this work despite also working from home in another profession. Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.

Simon has an amazing first day! Carl and Pia are both great. It was our first experience using Rover.com and I am so happy I found them. They respond quickly and provide a daily report and pictures. Simon was thoroughly entertained, exercised and was exhausted after a day with Pia and Carl. We will definitely be back

To be fully prepared and ready to take care of Loki, she even requested a meet and greet in advance. She has taken and shared a lot of photos of our Loki during the stay. She is definitely someone that you can account for taking care of your pets!

Liz and Jeff are the BEST! I cannot express enough how wonderful they were for my pup! From the moment I reached out, they were incredibly accommodating and ensured everything was set for my dog’s stay. They were genuinely kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home and comfortable. During the stay, they kept me updated with regular texts, photos, and even a few short videos, which was such a relief to know my pup was happy and well taken care of. I could tell they truly understood dogs and made sure my furry friend felt loved and safe throughout the entire time. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is not only reliable and responsible but also warm-hearted and compassionate, look no further. My dog had a fantastic time, and I know he will be excited to return the next time. Truly a top-tier experience that I would highly recommend to anyone!

This was the first time my senior Cavalier was taken to “doggy daycare.” Susan was so wonderful with him and sent pictures mid-day to reassure me. She was very conscientious to understand any of his special needs as a senior dog. He is already scheduled to go back next week.
