âBrianne was amazing!! She was timely and so helpful and took amazing care of our kittens. Her rover cards were thorough and she sent lots of pictures. Our boys were so happy when we came home it was evident she did a fantastic job!â

âShe took care of my Kitties last minute, and one of them I adopted a week ago and they weren't quite on hospitable terms yet. She allowed them to interact gently while being ready to separate in case of throwing paws. She also followed special feeding directions for my elderly cat who needs stuff mixed in and her pate in an extra soupy mash.â


âMary is awesome! First of all, for navigating the Rover app and making appointments, as a first-time Rover user, I was completely lost and Mary has been with me every step of the way. And comes to the most important part â taking care of my very anxious and grumpy cat Pumpkin, Mary completely won him over! Mary is very detail-oriented and focuses on how best to take care of Pumpkin, which includes not only the daily chores of feeding and cleaning, but also what to do to make Pumpkin less anxious during our time away. Maryâs detailed reports were a joy to read and put me at ease when I was traveling. As luck would have it, our flight coming back got delayed, and Mary graciously picked up another day to take care of Pumpkin! Safe to say, we found the one!â

âKasey did a fantastic job taking care of our cat Smores while we were away on vacation! She was very communicative, gave detailed reports, and sent great photos and videos. It was clear that she is knowledgeable about cats and really cares about doing right by them. Most impressively, Smores is a very shy cat, but got into a routine with Kasey where she would come out for pets and treats each day. We have never seen Smores connect with anyone outside of us consistently in this way. We would highly recommend Kasey to anyone who needs a companion for your pet while you are away. She is excellent at giving the care they need and giving you much needed peace of mind.â


âCatherine was wonderful! I hired her for drop-in visits for my 4 cats, including a diabetic cat who she gave insulin. She was very kind, sweet with the kitties, and even took the bags of litter out to the trash even though I told her she didnât need to do that (itâs a bit of a walk to the dumpster.) Iâm very happy I hired her for my trip :)â

âI went on my trip with peace of mind knowing that Catherine was caring for my cat Skipper. Skipper takes a long time to warm up to people but took to Catherine quickly.â

âMelissa was awesome, she remained professional and made sure my dog Maggie got some human interaction throughout the day. Melissa was very flexible and was willing to do any last minute requests I needed (changing out water, waking up the TV out of sleep mode) Thanks!â

About: Iâve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. Iâve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and Iâve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!
About: Based in Germantown, MD. I have had lived and helped raise dogs since a child. Experienced with all dogs sizes. Current owner of large floofy doodle. All breeds welcome. This is my main gig, so playing and taking care of your pups will be top priority. Available for same day booking or extended stays as needed. I have a fenced yard and a big friendly Saint Berdoodle to have tons of fun with. There are plenty of walking paths in my neighborhood that are safe for paws and great for walkies
âJessica was a wonderful walker of our three dogs, of varying sizes and temperments I might add. She was responsive, adapatable, warm, and funny. I would highly recommend her.â


About: From puppies and kittens to senior pets, they all need special attention and plenty of love! I've owned and helped care for pets from all walks of life from nervous strays, to the friendliest fur babies. Having been involved with both dog and cat rescue groups, I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes, shapes, and care levels. I can handle medical needs with compassion and high attention to detail, making sure that medication is given on schedule and no messes are left behind. My days are made better by time with pets! Day or night, I can be available with just a little notice. Midday or midnight walks, I'm here to help. My goal is to make sure that your pets are comfortable, cared for, and safe and that you come home to a clean space! I strive to match your pets energy, whether they're slow to make friends or are up for high energy play.
âIâve booked with Jennifer twice and she was always been easy to work with and my senior cat enjoys when she comes to visit. She sends lots of pictures with each check in and is very considerate.â

âCarolina is an excellent dog walker! Sheâs been amazing with my new puppy, Lolaâpatient, caring, and always dependable. Lola absolutely adores her walks with her, and itâs clear she truly loves what she does. I couldnât ask for a better person to trust with my pup!â

âSara had to deal with a particularly feisty and difficult cat, but she handled it all with care and aplomb. I will definitely want to ask her to visit with Maisie again.â

âAndrew did a great job taking care of our our two cats! He followed our instructions and contacted me to let me know the litter robot looked like it was having an issue. He was very helpful and we will definitely ask him to watch our pets again.â

âWe were very satisfied with Don. He dropped in everyday to feed our doggies and let them out to do their business. He was very reliable and would send pictures. We highly recommend him.â

âMona is so nice! Very caring and detailed in her care for pets. She took excellent care of our older cat. Our little old lady is quite picky about the people she enjoys so we were lucky to find someone so good with cats! Very easy to talk to and sent tons of amazing pictures! Thank you Mona.â

âHeather took wonderful care of our kitties once again and we cannot recommend her enough! She is so reliable and communicative, and the cats are always so comfortable with her. Weâre so grateful to her for being the BEST pet sitter!â

Catherine has watched out kitties twice now and she does such a fantastic job making sure they are fed and have everything they need. She is very fast to respond with any questions and always makes sure to take pictures of the pets during the visit. She even went out of her way to visit during a winter storm when conditions made it difficult to access the home. Would highly reccomend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Lynnette was amazing with my cat Yeager during New Year! She kept me updated, followed instructions perfectly, and treated Yeager with so much care and patience. Coming home to a calm, happy cat was the best feeling. I felt totally at ease knowing Yeager was in such good hands. Highly recommend Lynnette and would book her again in a heartbeat!
We were traveling with our dog Moose and unexpectedly needed a sitter to stay with him at our hotel. Briannne was able to help us out on just a few hours notice. We felt immediately comfortable with her, and she was wonderful with Moose, who quickly got attached to her. Weâd highly recommend Brianne!

Brittany was fantastic! We requested daily drop-ins to take care of our two cats and she was very communicative and asked questions prior to the booking. She was also very punctual on when she would drop in. Overall my cats seemed to like her and Iâll definitely be reaching out again.
