She observed the cats carefully to make sure that they are healthy and sent daily updates with pictures which really gave me peace of mind when I was traveling.”
“Milena was attentive and communicative in taking care of our two cats! She is an animal lover and our boys were happy and healthy due to her home visits. We got lots of pictures and peace of mind knowing they were well looked after.”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life! I have been trusted by many friends, family, and neighbors to care for and walk their pets! I personally have a Rottweiler, black lab and rough collie and have raised cows and pigs my whole life. I love animals of all sizes! I can be flexible with times and am able to do early mornings and late nights! I currently work 10am-6pm which allows me to be free in the mornings and in the evenings , often when others are not available for pet care. I treat any and all animals as I would my own, with love and respect! Depending on what I am there for I will make sure all animal needs are met. If I am there for a drop in visit, I will make sure they get adequate play time, attention and make sure they have plenty of food/water before leaving.
“Amanda is awesome! We live pretty far off the beaten path and didn’t think we would have much luck finding someone to help us with our chocolate lab puppy, Mosby! We both work long shift work in Baltimore that overlaps and had no idea what to do. We found Amanda who’s been awesome, always so friendly and willing to help out, even with our odd and random requests of times based on shift work. Quick to respond and she treats Mosby like he’s her own dog. We’re so happy to have found her.”

“Lauren is very sweet and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. My dog seemed to eat well and was in great spirit when I returned. So happy I chose to use rover and chose Lauren.”
“I figured I should write an updated review since Isela has watched our cat Huey over 10 times now (twice for a week or more), and I only reviewed after the first visit. She is very reliable, trustworthy, and respectful. She's a big animal lover, and Huey seems to miss her when we come back!”

About: I was a dog owner for 11 years of a Shih Tzu and a Beagle Boston Terrier mix, and loved every second. While in High School I consistently watched my neighbor's dog while he was away, giving lots of attention and love to his Jack Russell Terrier. I'm currently available most days of the week, and have my own vehicle, so I am able to come watch your pet on short notice. My two dogs recently passed, and I'm looking for something to fill that hole where they used to be in my life. I would be honored to care for your furry best friends while you're away. With drop-in visits I care for dogs by offering lots of pets and playtime, along with feeding, watering, and taking outside. I make sure to let them know they can trust me first before getting down to play with them, ensuring both of our safety.
About: I grew up with my childhood dog, who was a chocolate lab. I loved to bring him to the beach, play fetch with him, as well as feed him and care for him as he grew up. I am a student athlete at the Mount St. Mary’s University. I am mostly available on the weekends right now because of classes, practices, and conditionings throughout the weekdays. At my house back at home, our dog was very well trained, we had a fenced yard but he also enjoyed hanging out in the front yard .

Nathan C.
“Nate has been great with dogs for as long as i’ve known him, as well as before that. He took great care of his childhood chocolate lab, and as he aged things got harder but Nate was right there with him. He would take him to the beach, took him on walks, play with him, and care for him. I have two samoyed dogs which he is great with, he plays in the yard with them, helps me clean up after them, and gives them plenty of attention!”
