“We'll, Elizabeth is just the best! There are not enough superlatives to describe her. Trustworthy, caring, detail oriented, and compassionate. She took care of our puppy as if she were her own. We're prepared to use her over and over again.”
“Samantha was wonderful! She accommodated my last minute request and also did a great job with our anxious new rescue dog. She left thorough notes and photos for us. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have never gone a day of my life without caring for an animal. I've had dogs and cats growing up, rode horses, helped on the farm, etc. I recently cared for my childhood Lab (day in day out) and she made it to 16 years old. I also fully trained my Mom's golden retriever from 8 weeks old. I have my own rescue dog now, and she has come so far in training! I have done a semester internship with a Vet Clinic as well. I truly love caring for and spending time with animals and will treat any animal with love and kindness, whatever their needs are. I currently work remotely full time, with a partial return to office starting in August 2026. I will be in office from 10-2 on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting then. I have very flexible days that allow me to step away when needed. My day genuinely revolves around animal care. My plans are structured around my dog, my vacations structured around my dog, my friends chosen by who my dog likes. :) My girl loves cuddling on my couch or in bed and loves having activities to do like puzzles, Kongs, frozen lick mats, etc. We love taking long long walks or hikes. She is my best friend and I treat her as such. She was a traumatized rescue who has taken a lot of time, and will continue to do so. However, I have given her time, attention, training, desensitization, ect. to ensure she gets the happiest and most comfortable life possible. I plan to treat every animal in my care with the same level of attention and love. The animal is always my #1 priority and concern, even before my own. My dog always eats before I do! I know every animal is different, and I am happy to listen to individualized needs, concerns, and requests to give the best care possible.
“Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)”
About: I've been a dog-mom to three very different dogs—a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler, and an Indian street dog rescue—over nearly 30 years. They were always part of the family, traveling with us across the world through military assignments and other moves. I've loved and cared for them through every stage of life, from their energetic puppy days to the challenges of old age, gaining plenty of experience with a range of personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to Daisy, my loyal companion of 13 years, leaving a big hole in my heart. I have a hybrid work schedule and very few time-bound commitments, making my schedule very flexible. Typically, I am available throughout the day Wednesday through Sundays. I am out of the house 8 am - 2 pm on Monday and Tuesdays. I live in a single family home with a small unfenced yard. I am in a residential community with plenty of space to walk and green areas. There are no other pets or kids in the house.
“Judy was AMAZING!! My dog has anxiety and can be a little nervous around new people. Judy was accommodating with my schedule so we could do a meet-and-greet to make sure both Juliet (my dog) and Judy were comfortable with each other. By the end of the meet-and-greet, Juliet was resting her head in Judy’s hand. I almost cried (this is HUGE)! Judy sent lots of pics and had great communication. I had no reservations about my dog (who is my baby) being in good hands! It was my first time using Rover, and Judy was very patient with all my questions. I will DEFINITELY be rebooking!! Thank you again so much!!”
“Dominique is the best!!!!!!! We literally booked her last minute before going out of the country. We love her and most important of all my both doggies love her!!!! She has been such a great help and we will always keep her in mind for the future!!!!”
“Once again an awesome experience with Misty and Fiona. They sent notes and pictures from every visit and we could clearly see that our girls were comfortable and well taken care of. This is the second of many more bookings in the future. Highly recommend- 5 stars”
“Grace was wonderful! She watched our hyper 2-year-old dog while we were out of town for the weekend. We put our dog in good hands! Will definitely be using her again.”
“Very good - Jessie was flexible when weather changed our plans and provided good updates. Our dog just wanted to lie in bed, but Jessie tried to coax her into some exercise and was willing to stay the full 30 minutes.”
“Valerie was wonderful! The app shows she was timely and she sent updates as well as the cutest pics of them enjoying their time together. We will definitely book with Valerie again.”
“Connie was absolutely awesome and we really appreciate everything she did for us while we were away, she deserves all the praise she receives from us and all of her clients, absolutely top notch!”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels — from playful young labs and doodles to senior dogs and cats needing extra patience and attention. I’m naturally calm and gentle, but I also love matching a pet’s energy through play, walks, and engagement. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Since I’m home from college for the summer, I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to fully focus on pet care. I’m able to provide pets with lots of attention, companionship, exercise, and regular updates for owners throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship while adapting to each pet’s personality and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos for owners while they’re away.
“Leslie is wonderful! I feel so much better knowing that our newly adopted dog has a break from the crate while we are at work. I love seeing the photos and detailed updates after her visits.”
“Sara stepped in for 2 weeks while my regular sitter was unavailable and Kallie has loved spending time with her. They've been on walks every day, during her mid-day check in. Having this service with someone I feel comfortable with and trust is SO helpful. It also brings peace of mind that my pup gets some love while I'm at work. Grateful for Sara - would recommend and will use again!”
About: I am available in the Frederick, Maryland area from May 21-June 10, as well as July 15-August 8 as I will move back to college. I’ve had a variety of animal care experiences, including raising and training a service dog for a few months, pet sitting for dogs, cats, and goats. I have farm animal experience and am a student in a pre-veterinary program at the University of Tennessee Knoxville taking courses such as animal handling and management and animal anatomy and physiology. I have experience volunteering and taking care of animals. I am available in the Frederick, Maryland area from May 21-June 10, as well as July 15-August 8 as I will move back to college. When I move back to Knoxville, I am starting a job at my university that has flexible hours. I also have a very flexible schedule and am free on weekends and weekdays. I will follow your pet’s routine as strictly as I can! I will ensure your pet feels comfortable with me and will also ensure safety by keeping the house key or keys safe with me at all times and double check that doors are locked. I will adhere to any limitations or restrictions if your pet has any!
About: I have cared for my 15 year old pup since she was 8 months old. I know the ups and downs of being a pet partner and the unconditional love it brings to life. Also, I am the person who might notice your fur baby before you, so apologies in advance ;) Currently I am not working but in graduate school. I have been interviewing for a part time job so that might be added to my schedule eventually. Please contact me for me details on person schedule as it can change for each semester. I am currently only looking to walk dogs or do check ins. Currently my dog takes 4-5 walks a day since she is elderly. She is taken care of like a human and always has been. I never leave my dog home alone for more than 6-8 hours.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I love animals. I find it an honor for someone to trust me with their furry friends. I work as a free lancer so I’m available most days from 8am-6pm. I can stay the night if needed and am happy to sit over the weekend. When visiting a clients home I make sure that I do what I came there to do and not too much more! I make sure to clean up after pets and leave the way I found it.
“Aubrey was wonderful, responsive, reliable, and took great care of my kitty while I was out of town around thanksgiving! She went above and beyond to make sure the little quirks and preferences my cat has were taken care of (water from a sink, some time outside in an enclosed area, etc). Also appreciated the regular updates, the report cards through Rover, and the pictures she sent! Would absolutely recommend her and will use her for future kitty sitting needs! Thanks, Aubrey!:)”

We recently booked Mikayla to care for our two cats while we were away, and she did a fantastic job. One of our cats is very social and easygoing, while the other is much more anxious and cautious with new people, so I’m always nervous leaving them with someone new. Mikayla handled both of them so thoughtfully and professionally. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly paid attention to the details of their care. We came home to two happy and well cared for cats, which is honestly the best feeling after traveling. I also really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.
Misty was fantastic watching our dog Theo while I was away. We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From start to finish, Misty was incredibly reliable and kept us updated throughout the whole stay. We always knew exactly how my pup was doing, with regular updates and prompt responses. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter
Ariana took care of our 17 year old cat for over 3 weeks while we were away. We are relatively new to this area and were a little reluctant to let someone we didn't know visit our house and take care of our cat. We feel very lucky for finding Ariana. She did a wonderful job taking care of Dashy and communicating with us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter.
Haley took wonderful care of our two kitties, Miami and Virginia, through drop-in visits. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly caring, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Haley, for taking great care of them. We would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to work with her again.
Kaitlin was wonderful. She came over to meet our dog the day before with short notice and was flexible about adding an extra visit when the forecast showed raining conditions. She took good care of our dog and was frequemtly in touch. She gained our dog's trust very quickly and was very friendly. I would definitely recommend her.
