“My dog had a great time with Felice. He has stayed with her family many times and he has always been well cared for. Based on his excitement whenever we pull up to her house, I can say with certainty that my dog is happy to spend the day or the night with Felice.”

“Esther and Yi took great care of Eevee. Eevee was a picky and slow eater but Esther ans Yi was very patient and accompanied her to finish her food. Eevee had a great time with their puppies Milk and Peanut! She can’t wait to have her next vacation in Esther and Yi’s house!”

“Elisha was absolutely amazing! My Royal has separation anxiety and Elisha was not only able to work with him but also managed to keep my mind at ease on his first day with her. Will continue to book as long as she’ll have us!”

“We booked day care with Francine super last minute and she accepted a same day request (on Christmas Eve!!) Our dog had a great time with their 2 dogs, running around in their fenced in back yard and chilling in the house. We would strongly recommend booking with Francine!”

“Brittanie and Ryan are amazing and caring couple. They have a lovely family and 2 beautiful dogs. We were made to feel very welcome in their house and they did everything they could to give Zoe a comfortable stay at their house. They are very responsive and communicate well. Zoe comes home happy after each stay at their house. We recommend them highly....”

“This was the first time my senior Cavalier was taken to “doggy daycare.” Susan was so wonderful with him and sent pictures mid-day to reassure me. She was very conscientious to understand any of his special needs as a senior dog. He is already scheduled to go back next week.”

“My 6lb maltipoo Sophie LOVED puppy day care with Kelly. I recently moved and was nervous about finding the right care for Sophie. I initially booked one day with Kelly and immediately after the first day, booked the rest of the week! The communication throughout the days was fantastic and Sophie was so excited to return each day. It was very clear that Kelly is attentive to Sophie the entire day…. Walks, snacks, rest, playtime. Totally recommend Kelly! I will be a regular.”

“Liz and Jeff are the BEST! I cannot express enough how wonderful they were for my pup! From the moment I reached out, they were incredibly accommodating and ensured everything was set for my dog’s stay. They were genuinely kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home and comfortable. During the stay, they kept me updated with regular texts, photos, and even a few short videos, which was such a relief to know my pup was happy and well taken care of. I could tell they truly understood dogs and made sure my furry friend felt loved and safe throughout the entire time. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is not only reliable and responsible but also warm-hearted and compassionate, look no further. My dog had a fantastic time, and I know he will be excited to return the next time. Truly a top-tier experience that I would highly recommend to anyone!”

“Lynn was great. She cared for my Dior like one of her own. The atmosphere was pleasant and set up for pets - plenty of space in the home and fenced in backyard. Dior was well cared for in the home with love.”

About: I've spent the last five years volunteering in Baltimore animal shelters as both a dog walker and foster parent. Through this work, I've been trained by shelter staff to safely and confidently handle behavioral dogs, and I've also completed the Fear Free Shelters certification. Outside the shelter, I'm routinely trusted by friends and family for drop-in visits, walks, boarding, and doggy daycare. I'm experienced with administering oral medications, giving injections, and bathing pups of all sizes. I've been a dog parent for over a decade and currently share my home with two friendly, well-mannered senior dogs-one small and one large-who get along wonderfully with canine visitors. My experience, calm approach, and genuine love for dogs help me give every pup the safe, positive, and individualized care they deserve. I work from home, so your pup will have company and attention all day long. My schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to follow the routine your fur baby is used to so their day feels familiar and stress-free. My home is set up with your pet's comfort and safety in mind. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, along with two calm, friendly senior dogs who provide gentle company. I'm also able to separate dogs during meals, rest times, or whenever needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable and stress-free. We live in a quiet, low-traffic neighborhood-great for peaceful walks, whether your pup is a seasoned leash walker or still learning. I also keep extra supplies on hand, including bowls, beds, and a small/medium crate, so your dog can settle in easily without requiring you to pack much. My goal is to create a safe, relaxed environment where your pup can feel right at home.
About: I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect. I would love to walk or play with your dog, and have committed the time to this work despite also working from home in another profession. Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.
“Odessa is such a great sitter! My frenchie is always excited to go to her house where he gets tons of attention and plenty of play time. She truly cares for your pet as if it were her own. She’s sends pictures, is very communicative and flexible with my chaotic work schedule. I am at ease and know my dog is in good hands with Odessa. Highly recommended!!!”

“Jeremy was great! We had to make changes to the reservation, and he was very responsive and made changes quickly. He also did a fantastic job watching Indi, and he provided a lot of picture updates. Thanks for doing such a great job with our dog!”
“Kuma was happy when we picked him up, we never left him with bigger dogs before so we were unsure on how he will behave but they got along good and was hanging out together when we pick Kuma up. We wanted to do a test sit before our week long sit and everything turned out great. We will be booking our week long sit with Grant. Would recommend!”
Ilchester dog parents share their Rover experiences
My dog Laila had a wonderful time at daycare with Francine. My dog had a blast playing around with the other dogs. She was so tired when she got home. Francine sent me regular updates with pictures. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend Francine for doggy daycare.

This was the first time my senior Cavalier was taken to “doggy daycare.” Susan was so wonderful with him and sent pictures mid-day to reassure me. She was very conscientious to understand any of his special needs as a senior dog. He is already scheduled to go back next week.

Brandy was so professional, efficient and above all very caring to us and Cosmo. I have used a few places and this visit was handled far better than the others. I never wanted to have a repeat at other places but not the case with Brandy.She did exactly what she said she was going to do and our dog was very happy when we picked him up. Very calm and relaxed. Her home was well maintained and inviting and she provides a very nice facility/schedule for the dogs.

Erin did a good job with Bruno! She was very patient and took her time to slowly develop trust with our dog. Her dog Daisy definitely helped a lot. Thanks for taking care of Bruno when all the Kennels would not board him. She is such a blessing! I highly recommend her!

We are truly happy to find Sylvie, her husband, and her family to care for our little Luna! We had our son's ceremony celebrated in Maryland, we drove from NJ, so we didn't know much about the surrounding area. They took excellent care of Luna, and to my surprise, Luna ate her food on the first day, which was very unusual, as she always avoided eating on the first day when staying at a sitter's house. Everything was so easy and smooth, and now we have a warm family to care for Luna for our next visits to Maryland! We highly recommend her services! Thank you!
