“I felt extremely comfortable leaving Montana in their care especially when he didn't pay me any attention when I dropped him off. The daily photos and videos validated he was in good hands and enjoying himself. Kelly, Maurice and the entire family treat each dog as their own, and we could not be more thankful to them for the amount of love and care they gave to Montana. He enjoyed HIS vacation more than the family! We knew he would rather stay with them than to come back home with us!! We will definitely be repeat customers and would recommend them to anyone!”
“This is Koda second visit with Donna and Brian. I appreciate the care and attention provided. Koda seems to be happy during his visit. I look forward to scheduling another visit during my next trip!”
“I cannot recommend Maddie enough! She watched our dog, Jameson, for a little over a week during Thanksgiving and went above and beyond in every way. From the start, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She kept me updated with frequent pictures, videos, and messages, which made it so much easier to be away from Jameson. One thing I especially appreciated was how she allowed Jameson to socialize with other dogs during his stay. He’s still relatively new to us, so we’re still learning each other, but it’s clear now he thrives on interaction, and she ensured he had safe and fun playtime with the other dogs. It was heartwarming to see how much fun he was having while we were gone. Here’s the most amazing part: After spending so much time with JameO and seeing how much joy he brought into her home, Maddie decided to get a puppy of her own for her family! It’s such a testament to her love for animals, and I couldn’t be happier for her. When we came back, Jameson was happy, healthy, and relaxed—it was like he had his own mini-vacation! If you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring dog sitter, Maddie is hands down the best choice. Thank you, Maddie, for treating Jameson like one of your own and for being so incredible!”
“Leticia was wonderful with my Frenchie, Arya. She sent many updates with pictures and it was obvious that Arya was happy and well taken care of. I truly felt that Leticia treated Arya as one of her own and I will be using her services again!”
“We had a great experience with Faith! She was able to accommodate us on a few days’ notice, and was flexible when we had to change our pickup time. Charlie came home happy & healthy & sleepy. Will definitely book again!”
“My dog Moon loved his visit with Denise and her dog Andy. Decent size fenced in yard for play, which my dog loved. Updates and pictures were sent. Moon even ate his food while there which he rarely does even for his normal sitter. I should mention she is very accommodating. I was a last minute request and my hours for pickup and drop-off were odd. Would definitely use Denise again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! My family and I just love them so much. We recently lost our two dogs at the rip old age of 15 and want to fill our hearts with loving ones your fur babies. We treat your fur baby as an extension of our family and want to make sure they feel comfortable while away from you. We live on a quiet road on 3 acres of wooded land where they will get to walk and explore on a leash throughout the day. I currently work from home and am only out a few times a week for about 4 hours at a time. So they will get lots of attention throughout the day. Our yard is not fenced so walks will be on leashes in a shaded wooded area so they can stretch their legs. I have large crates that can be used if needed when we are away or at night if they are crate trained or have anxiety.
“Bianca is a great sitter. She is very accommodating and considerate of Lowdown's needs. He really enjoys spending time with Bianca, Pepper and the rest of her family. ”
“Hannah was great, she sent us pictures and videos of our dog. We missed our dog while we were gone but we glad Hannah sent us pictures and videos, we felt that our dog was being well taken care of. . Definitely would leave my baby with her again.”
“WOW!! Lori went above and beyond while Tito stayed with her for a few days! She sent constant updates via pics and videos, made sure he got his meds for a last minute belly ache he had right as we were supposed to leave town, let us know if other pets were going to be staying during his, and Tito had an absolute blast!! We just got home a few minutes ago and he has been passed out, exhausted from the awesome long weekend he had! We both felt great being away knowing how well taken care of he was and can’t wait for him to stay over there again!!! Highly recommend you have your pets stay with Lori! Thank you again SO SO much!!! Fantastic experience from start to finish!”
“Jen is fantastic! Her and her husband are two of the kindest people that I’ve ever met. They took care of my fur baby like their own and even sent her home with new toys. My fur baby was in such a good mood when I picked her up - I can tell she had a blast staying with Jen! I am so grateful to have found Jen! I trust her 110%.”
“We were so happy with Mia & her husband! They are amazing! We left our pup with her for a week while on vacation and he loved every second of it. She was great with communication & sending pictures everyday to keep our minds at ease :) our pup also hurt his paw right before we were about to drop him off there and required a bunch of medicine that she was able to give to him and LOTS of rest. thank you!!”
“Kim was great. She is a dog lover and cares for animals truly. We had a pre-meeting which was helpful because she got to see our Bloo and I got to meet her before we went away for the weekend. She also sent photos at least once a day. This was our first time using Rover and I am very happy we found Kim and we will use her again.”
“Leann took great care of Cooper. Kept up updated, sent pictures and even let him sleep with her because that's what he does at home with my kids. Thank you again for taking care of our pup ❤️”
About: I am a stay at home mom to 2 girls, ages 4 and 5 and we recently moved to the area! My husband is in the Navy. We live in a townhouse in North Beach, MD. I have a cat that can be timid with new animals, and tends to hide until he feels more comfortable. I would love to help out with your furry family members! I hate when I have to be away from mine so I would give them tons of love so they feel comfortable and at home while you are away. I am available for all needs except for pet sitting in your home, since I have kiddos that need me at my home. Please let me know if I can help you out in any way! Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. I am with my girls a lot this summer but they would LOVE to accompany me on visits with your pet! I will have a lot more independent time this fall once they start school. We do not have a fenced in yard but I would be happy to do as many walks as needed for your pup! Our cat can be weary with new animals but he hides and then warms up quickly.
About: My passion and intuition is enough to set my care apart! I have been trained previously at a luxury boarding facility on dog and cat behaviors/temperaments, body language, breeds, and how to respect and communicate with them. I believe it is so important to make a pet feel safe in their own space and that even one bad interaction is detrimental to the wellness. I am only employed part time at a coffee shop and the hours are limited. I do not mind early mornings or late nights. I have my own vehicle for transportation and pet accessibility if necessary. I reflect exactly the habits for my pets wellbeing and as requested. It is of upmost importance to me to keep them cared for as a family member clean space to sleep eat and use the potty. Our dogs are kennel trained at night but able to sleep out if needed. I am comfortable with any variety of care even if it is a long list I love to be informed of routines.

Stephanie & Robert R.
“Stephanie has cared for our two dogs several times now, typically for stays ranging from 3 to 6 days—and we truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We have a high energy, toy driven golden retriever and an Australian kelpie mix, both full of personality and needing a lot of attention. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Stephanie is amazing with our dogs. She understands their needs and quirks, and they absolutely adore her. Every time we pick them up, they’re happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in a home where they were treated like family. We have complete trust in Stephanie, and we’re so grateful our dogs got to spend time with her. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and genuinely caring dog sitter.”

Fairhaven dog parents share their Rover experiences
Leann was incredibly kind and flexible with our last minute booking during the holiday season. She suggested meeting the weekend prior, so our 5 month old puppy would be comfortable. She was very quick to respond to any questions, and sent us picture and video updates of our puppy while we were gone. Leann and her daughter made our Fenway very comfortable and happy during her stay. We would definitely book with her again.
Dana was professional and a loving dog-sitter for my puppy, Tucker! Everything was very clean and there was a nice spacious, closed in area for him run and play. Dana was super attentive, making sure Tucker was able to take potty breaks - even early in the morning - to keep him on his house training schedule.
