Poncho kitty and I are very grateful to have found Linda through Rover! She is kind, dependable, and trustworthy. I can tell my (often sensitive) boy was very comfortable when she visited with him while we were away. Linda sent pictures and was easy to communicate with during the whole process. Thank you, Linda!

Jessica was fantastic. It was nice to know that our kitties were well taken care of. She sent us pictures every day. We got to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our kitties. I highly recommend using her.

Elaine just met my dog Jolene a couple of weeks ago, but it didn't take long for both Jolene and me to realize that Elaine takes terrific care of us when she comes to watch Jolene when I am at work.

About: Hi! I’m Rebecca — a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by pets and farm animals since the day I was born. From dogs and cats to cows and chickens, caring for animals has always been a part of my everyday life. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, loved, and happy in my care. ❤️ What I Offer Whether it’s a relaxing neighborhood stroll, an energetic walk to burn off some zoomies, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I provide reliable, compassionate care. You can count on me to treat your pet like part of my family — because to me, that’s exactly what they are. I work full time Monday-Friday so I’m available for walks in the evenings during the week and all day on the weekends. I’m also exploring options with boarding at my house in the country with my 2 dogs-Lulu and Buddy! During our walks, I: Use secure leashes and harnesses to ensure safety at all times Keep a close eye on surroundings to avoid hazards or stressful encounters Provide a balanced mix of exercise, sniffing time, and positive attention Offer water breaks on warm days and adjust the pace based on your dog’s needs Give plenty of praise, reassurance, and affection to make every walk enjoyable When we return, I always make sure your dog is comfortable, has fresh water, and is settled before I leave. My goal is to make each walk something your dog looks forward to — safe, fun, and full of tail wags! 🐾

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.

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 .

About: Dog loving photographer mama, I’ll treat your dog like my own! We only have one dog almost two year old black Shepherd Retriever, we go on early morning walks off leash, car ride to our local dog park with our frequent coffee shop drop in visit. I’ve trained all ages of dogs, and have dealt with all different type of behavioral dogs. Our dog get along with all dogs, and he’ll adjusted his behavior to adapt to them. We start our mornings at 5:30am with a long walk down our country roads down hill then back up the steep hill, helps my pup burn his energy. Then around noon, we’ll go for another walk and play frisbee or catch in our yard. We’ll also go for a car ride to our local dog park, and he’ll play there for about 15/20 mins. Then around 5pm, we’ll play in the yard till husband gets home. We have a large yard unfenced for our pup to ran and play fetch. I have one friendly pup, we loves playing with all types of dogs. We also have a large crate, we leave open for our dog to lay in but able to easily crate your dog if needed. Our dog is housed trained but he finds his crate comforting when we’re not home so we leave crate door open.

Dawn took great care of our cat while we were away! Our cat is rather social and she took the time to interact with him during her visits and sent us updates and pictures. It’s nerve-wracking finding someone to trust to look after your pet and we’ll definitely use Dawn again!

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!
