“Where do I even begin?! Mandi was an exceptional sitter and provided such a source of comfort while we were away, despite several “hiccups.” Our greyhound Ziggy got into a large bag of pill pockets which made him really sick. At one point, he became so irritable and blocked Mandi from getting back inside the house! But she remained so patient with him and tried lots of solutions until finally he calmed down. She never once made us feel bad and was so willing to help. Ziggy had several accidents in the house due to his upset stomach and anxiety from fireworks, and Mandi cleaned everything up with no complaint. She even made a special trip to the vet to pick up meds for him, and prepared him a bland diet of cooked chicken and rice! Last but not least - we have the worst luck - our refrigerator died and Mandi cleaned out as much of the spoiled food as she could. This could have been the worse vacation considering everything but Mandi was a true professional and helped us relax without having to worry too much about Ziggy’s care. We will definitely be reaching out in the future (if we haven’t scared her off lol!).”
“I have an asthmatic cat as well as fosters from the Humane Society. Gaye was friendly, responsible and loving to my animals. I had a feral mom and 2 six week old kittens in my attic which made for a less than easy job. Gaye sent me pictures and communication on a daily basis and made sure my kitties were loved in my absence. Highly recommend.”
“Katherine was wonderful in taking care of my two cats and fish while I was away. She cares deeply about animals and I appreciated her great care and daily updates.”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“I found Jennifer last minute for a weekend we were out of town, and I’m so glad she was available! She made me feel so comfortable leaving Wally with her. She sends plenty of photos, texts and updates; I knew he was in good hands! Thank you, Miss Jennifer!”
“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!”
“Emily was great! She sent plenty of videos and photos of my two dogs. My one dog is a reactive rescue with trust issues and I felt very comfortable with Emily taking care of him. Emily was great with communicating, I didn’t worry at all while I was gone.”
“She has pet sat for us several times and every time she has gone above and beyond. This past trip we were gone internationally and never had one concern because I knew Abigail had it under control!!”
“Lejune & Michael were delightful people and very accommodating when we needed someone to do a drop in visit on Thanksgiving. All three of my elderly dogs were well taken care of! They were punctual for the meet and greet and quickly earned the trust from my dogs and put my mind at ease. We received updates about their water and potty breaks as well as several photos. Lejune was even thoughtful enough to check that we returned safely from our travels so that she knew the dogs were ok. Such a blessing to find them! I will definitely be using their services in the future!”
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.
“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!”

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 has sat for my 2 cats twice now. She does a great job of updating me daily on how my boys are doing. Went above my expectations when my younger cat who has been having digestive issues left some “presents” on a rug. She cleaned up the bulk and washed the rug for me which I was very appreciative for.”

“Kathleen is a very loving pet owner and pet care and house sitter provider. She is responsible and looks to provide the best care possible for your furry friends. She has cared for dogs (large and small), cats, fish, and other small animals. She enjoys bonding with new animals and gaining their trust. She is neat in her habits and goes the extra mile to clean up any messes that arise. She has cared for our blind, deaf dog with compassion and understanding. I do not hesitate to recommend her for providing care for any animal.”

Halfway pet parents share their Rover experiences
Deann is our absolute fave pet sitter! She was able to pick up our last minute reservation and sent us lots of check-in pictures of our babies while we were away. She went the extra mile and brought in some packages, she was beyond helpful and such a delightful person!
Gaye is great! I had a last minute request for a potty break for my 2yo GSP and she was able to accommodate us! I left town knowing my pup was in good hands so I could enjoy my outing. Gaye provided updates to her visit and pictures where my dog looked VERY HAPPY! She left a detailed note Rover for me so I know exactly what her visit entailed. Will definitely book again with Gaye :)
