“We were out for two weeks over the holidays and had Yashelle sit for us in our home. She took great care of our two large dogs and our cat, keeping us in the loop and following our pets’ routines. It gave us great peace of mind as this was our first time using Rover. Yashelle was great, we recommend.”

“Addie was amazing! Doggies and cat were loved, walked and well taken care of. So thankful Addie could squeeze us in for a stay. She did a great job of communicating and responded promptly to any outreach. Highly recommend”

“Don did a great job House-sitting with our cat and dog! Our pets loved Don and were happy and healthy when we returned. The house was in great shape and Don also did a great job looking after our plants. If you want peace of mind for your pets and home while you’re away, I highly recommend hiring Don!”


“Leslie was super easy to coordinate with and great with the dogs. I came home to 2 happy dogs. She communicated throughout the stay and sent pictures. We’ll be contacting Leslie again!”

“Amanda was amazing with our 16-year old dog! We are already planning to use her again! She took care of him in our home, and we felt totally comfortable with her. She also sent regular updates to me along the way! I would highly recommend her! TS”

“Felicia was great! Sent me lots of pics, left my home spotless, and my pups were happy when I got back. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely use her again!”

“Lauren is fantastic! She did such a great job watching our fur babies while we were out of town for a wedding. She asked great questions, was very communicative, and was all around a great pet sitter. Looking forward to booking her again for any future trips.”


About: We have done weekend animal care on a farm which included dog care in which we stayed at the house to walk and feed as well as walks 2 per day. We give a full quality workout to your dog because of the benefits we get with your dog too. This means your dog will get 30 to 60 minutes of exercise per walk, guaranteed. my husband is available in the mornings up until 2 while I can take over in the late afternoon and evenings during the week and both are available on weekends. being a MCPS teacher I also can work during holidays as well. I can be there overnights during the weekends keep ing a close eye on your pet's needs giving time for walks and undivided attention.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Jenny provided! She was responsible, attentive, and truly empathetic with our two dogs, making them feel safe and loved while we were away. She also took excellent care of our home and was incredibly respectful of our space. We especially appreciated the thoughtful daily updates and how responsive she was throughout the stay. She even went out of her way to ship something we had forgotten at home—above and beyond in every way. Highly recommend!”

“Trustworthy and reliable! We needed a pet sitter for our cat and dog for week, and Alon (Sherm) was on top of everything. Daily medication, potty breaks and cuddles included. Great communication and instructions followed. Will definitely book again for my future pet sitting needs.”

“Mia was wonderful to work with. She was patient and gentle with Arya and communicated to us the whole trip. Our girl doesn't like just anyone and it was clear she was very comfortable with Mia. Additionally, she was flexible to add a other booking last minute for us. We will definitely book with her in the future!”

“We had an excellent experience with Nicole, who cared for our two dogs for nine days. Our dogs can be challenging, particularly on walks (they are highly reactive), and she handled them well. She was attentive to their needs and clearly took their safety and well-being seriously. Communication throughout the stay was clear and timely, and it was evident that she was genuinely invested in providing high-quality care. We returned home to dogs who were happy, healthy, and well cared for. We would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“Jina surpassed all our expectations! She was very communicative, sending detailed updates, lots of videos and absolutely frame-worthy photos 😻 She made our two week trip worry free and did an amazing job taking care of our cat and apartment while we were away. It was relief to see we left our cat in great hands and how much he enjoyed Jina’s company. They quickly became best friends and we will be happy to book Jina again when needed. Thank you Jina ❤️”

“Jeffrey saved the day with our anxious pup during a recent stay - while helping us sort out a FedEx delivery AND a problem with our deadbolt! He goes far above and beyond anything one should expect from a sitter and delivered amazing care for our dog who needed to be coaxed into eating and drinking while we were away. He’s also a great communicator who will keep you informed and share lots of pet photos and videos. Recommend Jeffrey highly, but please leave some time on his schedule for us! 😂 He’s a keeper!”

“Taje was so amazing caring for our three dogs for a week. She sent daily pictures and communicated as much or as little as we wanted every day. We had special circumstances where one dog had to be consistently separated from another, and she handled that special situation with professionalism and expertise. Our house was cleaner than we left it (amazing considering how much our dog sheds!), and we had not one worry while we were away. We plan to use Taje again anytime we leave our house in the future!!”

“Katie was absolutely wonderful. She handled my two large rambunctious dogs like a pro and I got lots of pics while I was away, which were so comforting knowing they were in great hands. She even administered meds when one of them unexpectedly got an ear infection. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to use her again when I need to travel again.”

Wilson watched our two dogs and our house while we were away. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous leaving them. However, Wilson did an excellent job from the Meet & Greet gaining our trust and the dogs. He sent updates throughout the week and even got our picky dog to eat her food. We would definitely recommend him and use him again in the future.

Daniel stayed with our husky/mix for a week, and she had a wonderful time with him! He walked her 3 times a day, made sure she had her pills, and kept her company almost every minute! The house was clean and tidy when we came home. He was extremely conscientious and clearly loved dogs. We'll definitely be using him again.

Heli was a wonderful petsitter and was very communicative throughout our time away. She took great care of all of our pets and was very thoughtful and considerate of our home. We highly recommend her for anyone who has several pets that all require special consideration!

Nicole loves cats and you can tell. She gave Mr. Bingley sweet care and attention. She was very good about sending pictures and videos to let me know he was doing well while I was away. There was a stressful situation with the petsitter before her, and Nicole handled it all with grace, professionalism and assurance to me that all was well. That was greatly appreciated. Thanks very much Nicole for taking such good care of Mr. B.

We were happy to be able to have Mabelyn stay at our home to take care of our dog for the week we were gone. She communicated every day and sent us photos. In addition, she took great care in leaving our home as tidy and clean as when we left. We highly recommend Mabelyn as a house and dog/cat sitter.
