“Mandi is friendly, dependable and will love your animals like they are her own. She was easy to speak with and even worked with us in regards to our multi-cat household. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. 5-star service.”
“Gaye was a fantastic! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took great care of my shy cat during my trip. Even though my cat tends to hide from visitors, Gaye was patient and really put in the effort to make her feel comfortable. It was reassuring to know my cat was being well cared for while I was away. I would definitely recommend Gaye and plan to hire her again for my next trip!”
“I’ve never used Rover before and I was a little hesitant to leave my boy for a week but everything went really well! I got plenty of pictures everyday which made me feel better and when I got home he didn’t seemed stressed or like I was even gone for a week (that’s a cat though lol). I will definitely book Katherine again for any upcoming trips!”
“Cari was amazing with our shy senior cat and giving her meds. Our other boy loved her and followed her around by the second day. Our pets were well cared for! We will definitely reach out to Cari if we have another trip!”
“This was our first time using Rover - Arnaldo was very easy to work with and took great care of our pets! We got photos of them and updates whenever something happened (you know how cats overeat & get sick…). We will definitely be contacting him again for future pet-sitting needs.”
“I've been with Rover for over a decade and have been on both sides--needing pet care and giving pet care. Deann sets a new standard for care, communication, dependability, knowledge, and being a joy to work with. She was exceptional in every definition. I will be a regular with her!”
“Jennifer B. was an excellent drop-in caretaker for our cat, Bella, during our recent vacation. Jennifer sent us daily pictures and updates on Bella. We will definitely call on Jennifer again in the future!”
“Lejune and Michael were absolutely fabulous in taking care of our cats while we were away for a week. They went above and beyond in taking care of our babies and home. Our water dispenser leaked when we were away and Lejune and Michael cleaned up our hardwood floor and went to store and bought a new water dispenser out of pocket and visited again on their own to make sure the cats were healthy and loved. We are grateful for you both taking good care of our cats and home. We HIGHLY recommend Lejune and Michael to everyone. If you want good people you can count on and trust, they should be first choice.”
About: I have several years of personal and professional pet care, but a lifetime of love for animals! I take humble pride in being the stranger that your critter who "never comes out to see anyone" is suddenly on my lap. I've cared for critters of all kinds, sizes and temperaments. Have any questions, shoot me a message! Looking forward to meeting you and your fuzzy or scaly loved ones. I am seeking to make this a 25-35 hrs/week gig with multiple clients. My availability is very flexible and open at this given time (June 2025). I commute between an apartment in downtown Hagerstown and St Mary's County (Wildewood) and care for my family's German shepherd (Freya) and teddy bear (Odin) about 1-2 days a month in W.V. Those dates are preplanned. I'm an early bird, up around 4:30-6 AM. I have a low maintenance mainecoon so she grazes all day and has plenty to do till I come home for my own kitty snuggles. I can only care for your pets on their turf or if you allow it, to take them to public parks. Both of my residences do not allow additional boarding. I personally wouldn't mind, but, rules are rule. I'm very adaptable and would love to keep any routine you have with your pets. From nicknames, babytalk, several walks a day, a bath etc... Write down your desired routine for Fido/Whiskers and I'll do my best to keep them entertained and comfortable until you're back home.
“Emily is amazing! Book with confidence that your pets will receive compassionate care. Emily will go the extra step to make your pets feel safe, secure, and loved during her visits. I have three cats that Emily pet sits. Two are seniors and one, Puka, has a health issue needing medicine, but this tiny, sweet, shy cat is terrified by people she doesn’t know. I have had issues with other pet sitters actually being frustrated by trying to find and get hold of Puka for her medicine. You can imagine that energy further antagonized Puka. Emily knew just what to do to make Puka feel safe. Emily laid on the floor near Puka for a period of time until Puka could see that Emily wasn’t a threat. Imagine my surprise at the video of Puka coming to Emily and rubbing her head against Emily’s hand! After that, Emily became the only one I trust to pet sit my babies!”
About: I treat every animal as if it were my own Either letting a cat sit on my lap until I can’t feel my legs Or training in basic commands and manners To throwing a ball or stick until my arm is numb I love animals and all the fun that goes with it ** I did have to raise my rates due to rovers fee** I have been taking care of animals since I was little but really got into it around 7th and 8th grade Walking peoples dogs and putting up flyers at my local pool I have many repeat clients for over 3 years so many great pups(had to stop because of highschool) I helped a lot of them loose weight from daily 20-30 minute walks I still remember every dog I walked and boarded Nothing has changed except now I work morning shift as a security guard but my wife is home to take care of any dogs kept with us After I’m done with work I then take over with walks and playing in the backyard Everyone will get plenty of water If anyone gets dirty then it’s bath time or at least a good thorough wipe down Your pets will be treated like my own kids while they are being taken care of with the Diamond family After I’m done with work at 2pm I come home and spend all the time I have until bed time with my animals or as I call them my kids Walking playing in the backyard playing fetch and tag and even keep away which never lasts long for me I have a fenced in yard and plenty of toys to offer When it’s very hot we do some playing in the yard and then it’s time for a walk and then we take a 45 minute to an hour break for a nap or rest and then we do it all over again All animals should feel welcome in my home and spoiled decently as my animals are All animals that stay with me must have a collapsible crate brought in with them so that nobody gets into anything they shouldn’t at night Night time is crate time as we have cats we let wander at night
“Charlotte took wonderful care of my two cats during my vacation. It was such a a relief to come home to happy kitties! I had also asked her to take in the mail and water if there was time and she willingly assisted with that... Great experience!!”
“Destiny was WONDERFUL. She took excellent care of our pets, their areas clean and maintained, and provided great updates and pictures the whole time. She is responsible, caring and professional. It would be a privilege to have her take care of them again. Thank you, Destiny!”

About: I have had dogs all my life, from German Shepherds, Cocker Spaniels, and now Golden Retrievers. Nine years ago I decided to foster and do home visits for a rescue. I ensure they get vetted, groomed, and work with any behavior issues from being abused or neglected. I have plenty of patience and make sure above all else, they know they are safe and loved. That is all our fur babies want is to be safe, loved, and taken care of and the unconditional love you get in return is simply amazing. Let me take care of your fur baby and I know you will be glad you did. I’m retired now and just want to do what I love, taken care of fur babies. I can help you anytime, just let me know what you need. I have a fenced in yard, and two friendly Goldens at home that get along with everyone. I can crate your dog if needed or they can have run of the house with mine. We have plenty of toys from ones to chew on, to several to play ball or frisbee outside. It doesn’t matter the age of your pet, I have had and adopted several older dogs, I love them all and they will get the best care. I have farm land in front of me to take them for walks if you would like that as well. Your pets will be well taken care of and safe.

Kathleen W.
“Kat has always been a lover of animals. Our family fostered rescue dogs and she became a primary caretaker for these abused animals. She has a special cat who claimed her early and has bonded with her completely. When not busy with work or pet sitting she has volunteered at the animal shelters to spend time with animals awaiting their homes. She is responsible and on time and often does little extras such as sweeping or dishes.”

“I have worked in rescue with a Ronda for 12 years. I could always count on her to do exactly what was expected as a volunteer and foster parent. She was responsible, caring, and loving. I knew when she agreed to take in a foster she would do whatever it took to do the best for the dog. She loved and cared for them as her own. I trusted her with countless dogs we took into the rescue and I would trust her with my own dogs. She is a gem and you would be lucky to have her as a part of your organization.”
Funkstown cat parents share their Rover experiences
Katherine was an amazing pet sitter and went above and beyond! I felt that my pets were very well taken care of and loved through my entire trip overseas and loved all the pictures she sent. Also, I have bunnies and was going to run out of their greens half way through the trip. When I left her know I was going to order some through Doordash, she offered to bring them greens from her garden which was very kind. If you are looking for an amazing pet sitter for your next trip, contact Katherine!
