“Everything is great and my favorite part is the photo updates, makes me miss Ruger more while I’m gone but also relieved that he is well taken care of! We were gone for two days and Katherine stayed with Ruger at our home. We went home and Ruger is just as happy as he is and I’m sure he misses Katherine!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Heather. After a few disappointing encounters with other sitters who didn’t even show up to meet our dog, Heather was a breath of fresh air. Not only did she show up as promised, but she immediately connected with our dog, treating him with genuine warmth and affection. While we were away, Heather cared for our pup as if he were her own—providing regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear he was in loving and capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Heather to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. She exceeded all of our expectations.”
“Lindsey took care of our 2 dogs, a cat and our home. Not only was she wonderful with all the animals she kept my home neat and clean. She even changed the bedsheets. I would definitely recommend her. She is a blessing and made me feel comfortable leaving my family with her.”
“Mary Jane is an amazing sitter. First time having her sit for our two dogs. Two days before we left one of our dogs had to be put on crate rest. I was worried we would have to cancel our trip. Mary Jane came over and was confident there would be no issues. She followed the med schedule and did logs like I asked. AMAZING communication. Our one timid dog loved having her and even sat in her lap. Will be hiring again!”
“Lauren was great with our pups! We have three big dogs and she sent updates on each one when she let them and fed them! It made it easier on me being gone knowing they were well taken care of. We came home to three happy dogs!! Will definitely be using Lauren again in the future.”
“This was the first time we left our puppy Fiona. We left her with Evangeline and couldn’t be more pleased. Fiona loves her. Our puppy and home were very well taken care of. We would definitely use Evangeline again!”
About: Hello!! My name is Briana, but I go by Bri :). I’ve been caring for animals most of my life. I”ve had guinea pigs, hamsters, cats, dogs, and fish. I have my own cat for over 5 years and have regularly helped friends and family with their pets while they are on vacation. Whether that’s walking them, feeding them, playtime or cuddles. I’m all about giving your fur babies a comfortable and loving space as well as giving you a peace of mind! :) I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday. I get off around 4:30-5 each day (depends) and I’m pretty much free on most weekends :) I prefer not to care in my home since I still live with my parents. However, in your home, I would make sure your pet gets the love and care they need and deserve! I will make sure they stay hydrated, fed, loved for, play with them, even take them on walks or cuddle and watch a movie! :)
About: I've had animals since I was little, cats, dogs, reptiles, ferrets, and I've loved them all as if they were my children, specific dietary or exercise needs is no problem for me. A pet to me is a part of the family. I'm currently working part time, available Monday through Friday on most weeks, I'll house sit for up to a week and a half. I currently don't have a license because of covid slowing me down, but I am working on it and someone can drop me off at the location. I have a fenced backyard and my childhood dog had many issues later on in life so dietary or medication is no issue for me. The family dog I have now is the most stubborn dog I have ever met, having to work with him has taught me how to deal with stubborn or slightly aggressive dogs.
“Kat was exceptional with our dog Wrigley while we were on vacation abroad. She treated him as if he were her own pet, providing the utmost care and attention. Communication was smooth and efficient throughout our time away. We wholeheartedly recommend Kat to anyone in need of a reliable house or pet sitter!”
“Brenda is conscientious and cares about keeping me informed about how my Luka was doing with a new sitter. She is generous and takes the time to visit to get to know me, my pet, and her needs. I will definitely have Brenda back to care for my fur girl!”
“McKayla did wonderful with my chows! She was attentive with all 3 and careful to keep the two females apart since they do not get along. She kept them on their feeding schedule and on their potty schedule and won Simba over immediately! I will definitely reach out to McKayla in the future when I need a sitter! Highly recommended!”
“Caitlin was really easy to work with and did an amazing job of taking care of our older cat and 4 month old puppy while we were out of town! She sent regular updates and took care of the house as well. We would absolutely book her again!”
About: Hello, my name is Hayley. I have 14 years plus experience with pet care. I have experience in feeding, taking walks, administering medication, and giving animals all the love and attention that they deserve. I have watched 10 animals at one time including goats, dogs, cats, birds, and fish. Feel free to reach out and ask any questions. Can talk about price too! I have a lot of open availability, not currently working right now. I'm gearing my way towards spending more time with animals, ensuring their happiness, having a fun time together, and learning something new from every animal in my care. I will ensure that your furbabie(s) will get the best care, attention, and love that they deserve. Knowing about an animals behavior ahead of time helps me ensure they they will not be stressed but stress free.
“I was super nervous about using this service as it was our first time using. Halee was great, she house sat and was at our house when she said she was going to be. Our dog and cats were well taken care of. My cats aren’t usually fond of strangers and they even liked her. She kept in communication with me while gone and my house was the same as when I left it. I would use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Absolutely amazing! She kept me up to date on my dogs while I was away and took great care of them. I felt at ease knowing she was great with them and they were in great hands! Definitely recommend!”

Halfway pet parents share their Rover experiences
We can't say enough good things about Katherine! She stayed with our dog Ridge for more than a week, and even though our vacation was a bit stressful, knowing he was in her care was a huge comfort. Not only did she make sure Ridge was happy and well-cared for, but she also treated our home as if it were her own. We returned to a relaxed dog and a perfectly tidy home. Katherine is the best, and we'll definitely be using her again!
Kat was exceptional with our dog Wrigley while we were on vacation abroad. She treated him as if he were her own pet, providing the utmost care and attention. Communication was smooth and efficient throughout our time away. We wholeheartedly recommend Kat to anyone in need of a reliable house or pet sitter!
Savannah was absolutely amazing with all 3 of my animals. Our one dog is very timid of people and Savannah did amazing with her and kept me updated throughout the entire week on the progress and how all of them were doing. Definitely recommend her for anyone in the Hagerstown area!
