About: I’m a proud dog parent to Moonie, my very smart 3 year old Maltipoo, and I also live with a 4 year old Pomeranian — so yes, my house is basically dog approved. I love walks, dog parks, treats, and teaching Moonie new tricks. I’ll treat your pup like family, with lots of love, patience, and probably a few compliments ❤️🥰💕 I work in the office some days, but I’m mostly remote and home with the pups. There’s always time for potty breaks, playtime, little backyard zoomies, and cuddle breaks.. so basically, the dogs have a better schedule than we do 😂 I live in a townhouse with a small backyard — perfect for quick potty breaks or a little zoomies session. My neighborhood is safe and great for walks. I always clean paws after potty breaks, keep fresh pee pads available and changed daily, and yes… dogs are allowed on the furniture.
“Rodney was very communicative throughout the entire process from the meet and greet and throughout the entire stay. Oaklee was very well taken care of and we couldn’t be more happy with them. We will 100% bring Oaklee back!”
“Nautica was an excellent host for my busy little boy. She kept them an extra day because we've been having brownouts in my neighborhood. She even dropped him off and picked him up. I knew he was going to be spoiled rotten after enjoying a long weekend with the backyard. I will be using her again”
“Liz & Jeffrey always do a wonderful job taking care of Harley! He is always well taken care of, well fed and well rested. They always share plenty of pictures and videos too!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter with our pups!!!! Daily updates and pictures!!! Was wonderful in making us feel like our babies were in good hands!!!!”
“Ginnie took excellent care of Koda during his 5 night stay! She sent a lot of great updates and pictures during our trip to let us know how he was doing. It seemed he had a blast playing with all the other dogs! He felt right at home and it was nice knowing we didn’t need to worry about anything while on vacation. Highly recommend letting Ginnie look after your pet and we will definitely be using her services again!”
“Our energetic puppy had such a great time during his stay! He is best friends with Rocco. I highly recommend Lakesha and Marshall for boarding your dog - we will definitely be using them again!”
“HIrut took great care of our dog while we were away for a week. She met up with us ahead of time to ensure that he was comfortable in her space, gave him lots of loving attention, took him on plenty of walks, played with him, and sent us several updates. She also listened carefully to the details of his history of reactivity with some dogs and was prepared to take the steps needed to keep everyone safe. This was our first time leaving him in a sitter's home and we came home to a happy and healthy dog! We're grateful for Hirut's care and we would be happy to ask for her help again.”
“I went on vacation for six days and left UNO in Robin's capable hands and care. Robin sent videos and updates on UNO. He had a good time with the other dogs. I will definitely be using Robin again to take care of UNO. Robin will shower your dog with the same love and care that she gives her own dog. When I saw and read Robin's profile I knew she was the person to leave UNO with. Thanks again Robin for your patience and tlc for UNO.”
“Joy and Rodney took great care of Rocky while we were gone. They made sure he had fun, he ate well, they played with him, etc. They sent plenty of pictures and updates during his stay so we were informed on how he was doing. He returned to us so happy and full of joy and I was so relaxed during our trip knowing he was in the best of hands.”
“Wydia was absolutely incredible! We had to leave town on short notice and were nervous about leaving our toy poodle puppy for the first time—but Wydia made everything easy and worry-free. She took the time to meet with us beforehand, was super professional and personable, and even picked up our pup to accommodate our travel schedule. Throughout the stay, she sent multiple photo updates every day, and it was clear our puppy was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. He bonded with her right away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Wydia treated him like family, and we’re so grateful for her attentiveness, flexibility, and warmth. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again—she’s a true gem on Rover!”
“Francine is a true dog lover who ensures our dog Camden is well cared for and loved. She has a large backyard for running and fun and shares her home with the dogs so they are comfortable as well. Camden comes home happy and tired whenever he has been there.”
“Will & Adriele were wonderful! They were accommodating for pick up and drop off times, sent lots of pictures. Most importantly they were loving and made my dog comfortable in their home. I would highly recommend them and will use them again and again!”
“Erin was fantastic! My dog is only 5 pounds and can easily slip out of the front door when someone is at the door. Erin was VERY consciences of my concerns and I was very comfortable with her visit even though this was our first time boarding with Erin. You are in good hands with Erin!”
“Mann came back home nice and relaxed he didn’t even want to go for a walk which is not normal for him. He must have had plenty of exercise. I received pictures and updates everyday. I will definitely rebook again.”
Ellicott City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jerry was so amazing with our dog, Puffin! It was our first time leaving him for an extended period of time since moving to Maryland, and I was having major anxiety about finding someone reliable. Jerry is such a kind person and followed all of my instructions. He sent daily updates and photos, which made me feel at ease. We will definitely be using him in the future and I highly recommend him! Thanks Jerry! :)
Elisha is kind and communicative, which makes working with her easy. This is so important when entrusting someone to care for a beloved pet. It is clear that she is a caring pet owner to her own dog and others in her care. We always feel confident leaving our dog with her. He gets so excited! She's greatest about sending lots of pictures, which we enjoy.
Alonni was a great sitter. This was first time my dog staying with a sitter. She took care of my dog for couple of weeks. She sent me pictures of him having fun daily bases. I think he had so much fun with her. When I went to pick him up, he did not want to come back to me. Lol. I will definitely rebook her when I am out of town.
Esther & Yi took wonderful care of Holly during her first stay with them over a long holiday weekend. They sent frequent photo updates of her spending time with their dogs and even kept us updated on her potty schedule, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be boarding with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!
Odessa took very good care of our dog! She sent updates and photos throughout the time that she had him. Our little guy really bonded with her during his stay and we could tell right away that she cared for him really well. We are so grateful for the care and love that he received from her. We will not hesitate to book with Odessa again!
Pixie enjoyed her weekend stay with Krysta. Pixie is a nervous girlie, and Krysta took special care to accommodate her needs. I received plenty of pics and updates throughout the stay, which helped me feel comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Would highly recommend a stay with Krysta! She will tend to your pets every need and ensure they are comfortable and happy 😊
I felt very comfortable leaving my two doggies with Allyson and her husband after meeting her. When I dropped them off, she had her home ready to receive them and ready to let them snuggle like they are used to. Upon my return from two weeks away, while they were of course happy to see me, it was clear that they were completely at home, well cared for, and very content in their temporary home. I am a nervous pet parent that does not typically travel without taking my babies with me. This was not possible for a two week trip to Hawaii so I turned to Rover and Allyson for help and Allyson provided FABULOUS help to allow me to enjoy my vacation knowing that my babies were well cared for.
Andrea was great! Leaving my baby was not easy. However, not only did Andrea console me and reassured me that everything would be fine, she sent multiple pictures and provided daily check-ins. One of the pictures, Delilah looked like she was smiling. Lol. This helped me to enjoy my trip with no worries. I absolutely recommend Andrea and will definitely book her in the near future.
