““Auntie G” has been an absolute blessing for us and little Bodhi now for 8 months! She is always keeping us in the loop with updates and photos! I know he’s in the best hands when she’s with him! We trust her completely! Whether he wants to play or just wants to snuggle she is up for it all!”


“Mandi did a fantastic job. Not a single traumatized critter. I can really tell from the pics and my critters’ demeanor, they were cared for lovingly. I cannot recommend Mandi higher! My dog is a teacup who was previously attacked by a pitbull and is weary of new people. Mandi was patient and gentle with Gilbert until she had gained his trust. I am very impressed and pleased with Mandi and will use her again.”


“Kelly is amazing and my GSD King loves her. She is timely and flexible and gives the best love to my main man. I receive pictures of her visit and that makes me happy. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly with your fur baby.”


“For our first time using rover we were very pleased with Cari and the services provided. I felt comfortable with leaving my animals in her care. All her visits were right at the time agreed upon and the dogs were well taken care of with updates at every drop in.”


“Arnie is incredible! He came over a few days before my first booking to meet my 2 dogs. My senior dog warmed right up to him, and my 3 year old rescue even allowed some scratches and to be held. I was able to tell they both felt safe and secure with Arnie around. My senior needs a little extra help up and down the stairs, and I’m still working on leash confidence with the 3 year old. These things didn’t faze Arnie or stand out as a problem. He was ready to tackle them head on. This made me feel safe and secure knowing my babies would be in goods hands with him. I’m so thrilled that Arnie will be a buddy for my pups, and give me some peace of mind when I have a long work day!”


“Patten was a God send, since I had to pull last minute shifts with the wife being away for work. Daisy took to her so well and she really made sure to keep Daisy company and not just feed her take her out and leave for the day. She truly cared enough to play with Daisy and make sure that she ate all her food before she would take her out. Again cannot be more grateful how helpful and caring she was to Daisy.”


“Dee took great care of my Cocker Spaniel and cat during a drop-in visit and she took the time to befriend them and make them comfortable. I will be checking with her in the future for more drop-in visits!”


“This was my first time using Emily for my 2 cats, and I am completely satisfied with the care she provided them. I appreciate the detail provided in her notes, as well as the pictures :) By the end of the week and a half, my normally shy cat was sitting in her lap to be pet - and she has only ever done that with me! Will definitely be booming with Emily again and would recommend to anyone needing stellar care.”


“Jennifer is the best. She is a dog-lover and she has the patience of a Saint. One of my pups is not comfortable with anyone outside the family, other than Jennifer. She is kind and has a special touch with the pups.”


About: I'm Hannah! I have two boys, ages 3 and 7. My kids are great with dogs as we have been doing Rover for over 6 years. We are dog lovers and we would love to have your doggy in our home while you are away! I can offer as much or as little outside time that’s needed. Your baby will be in great hands while you’re away and you won’t miss a beat with all the pictures that are sent your way. Your dog will get a lot of outside time, exercise, play time, snuggles and freedom. Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. (: I have a flexible work schedule and work from home 3 days a week. We love to be outdoors playing but are also completely fine staying inside and relaxing. We treat any dog in our home like family. We try to make them feel as comfortable as possible as we understand that being out of their home and away from their owners can cause different behaviors such as anxiety, sadness, hyperness, etc.

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.

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

About: I am reliable, loving, and attentive, ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while their owners are away. I feel pets are part of the family and I do allow them on my furniture and give lots of snuggles and kisses. I have over 26 years of experience raising my own pets to identify sickness and can administer meds (including insulin shots) if needed. Your fur babies will be my top priority and I promise to care for them like they are my own. I am available for watching your fur baby in my home to include overnight or coming to your house (not overnight), walks, or other care you may need. My schedule is flexible and will accommodate your needs. I have a privacy fenced yard and 4 sweet pups of my own to keep your dog(s) company. My property has multiple video cameras for security and I can send you photos and videos while you are away or FaceTime with you so you can see your babies are having fun and being well taken care of and loved. I understand pet care very well as I have had 8 fur babies previous to the 4 I have currently from big dogs to little dogs. I am very aware of changes in behavior or if fur babies aren’t feeling well and will communicate with you if I think your baby is not feeling well.

“Stephanie was awesome! I had to book her last minute and was worried because I rarely if ever leave my babies behind but she sent me updates and made me feel comfortable. Would definitely use again when I have to”


About: I have always been around animals my whole life. Since I was very little. I raised two puppies at my parents house. I have owned rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. We have always had cats and even when I bought a house with my husband we took in his parents cat because I fell in love with that rascal. I worked at a dog kennel for a summer in highschool. I also helped out at a horse farm in highschool. This is not to say I will offer Horse care. I just really enjoy being around all animals. I hope you let me walk your furry friend and show them all the love. I am a very active person and enjoy getting out for walks. This will be beneficial for myself and your pet. I am only available on weekends to help out. If you have an event or even work I can stop by and do a little drop in on your furry friend. I have young kids to work around but plenty of support to help me out with that. No kids will be around your furry friends on walks or drop in's. I prefer to use a harness when walking your dogs. but will adjust to whatever the owners requests are. I respect all boundaries of in home care such as where the dog is, is the only place I go. I also will keep you updated on your pets current care.

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.

“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!”

Barbara A.
“Barbara has been my friend for over 10 years and in that time, I’ve seen her care for many animals - big and small. She has a vast amount of personal and professional experience. She is always kind and compassionate, never failing to ensure the safety and comfort of the animals around her and in her care. I would trust her with any of my own pets before I’d trust anyone else.”


Ronda P.
“I can recommend Ronda P. without hesitation. She has looked after my beloved pets, Coco, my chocolate Lab, and my two tabby cats, Kiki and Jazzy on multiple occasions while I traveled. Each time, I returned to find them relaxed, happy, and clearly showered with affection. Ronda’s heart for animals is obvious the moment she meets them. She learns their routines, favorite toys, and quirks, then sticks to those details so my babies feel completely at ease. She sends thoughtful updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind during my time away. I always knew Coco had enjoyed plenty of fresh air and playtime and that Kiki and Jazzy had their daily cuddle sessions and cookies. Beyond the basics, Ronda goes the extra mile. She keeps water bowls sparkling clean, sweeps up litter that makes its way outside their litter boxes without being asked, and makes sure leashes and toys are stored neatly. If one of my pets needs medication or special care, she handles it reliably. Her calm, upbeat demeanor is steady reassurance that my fur kids are safe and adored. In short, Ronda is: • Exceptionally caring and attentive • Organized and dependable with schedules and instructions • Great at communication and photo updates • Experienced with both dogs and cats, including seniors and pets with special needs If you are looking for someone to treat your pets like her own, choose Ronda. They will be in the best hands possible, and you will enjoy true peace of mind.”
