“Chrissy was incredible! I was anxious about leaving my cat, especially because she’s skittish around people, but Chrissy went above and beyond to stay on contact with me and was so good with my cat. She’s wonderful!”
“She was wonderful with all my dogs and my cat! She also was very responsive and communicated well about what was happening with the dogs during her visit.”
“Cannot state enough how caring and thoughtful Connie is with my cat, Dave. Plus the pics she gets of him are priceless. Simply the best. Period.”
“Have you ever sat down right before that big vacation and thought "Dang, I don't have any friends and I need someone I trust watch my hell spawn whilst I'm away"? Well look no further than Jennifer. If trustworthy and reliable were proper nouns, they'd also be named Jennifer. She checked in every day we booked, she gave us a paragraph of info every time, and took all the lovely pictures. She's great and booking her was a decision I plan on making again if we are ever able to leave our houses again.”
“Miranda did a fabulous job. She went above and beyond, meeting the cats before the sit, playing with them, gaining their trust. She is very communicative and we were completely confident that our babies were well looked after. We came home to happy and healthy cats.”
“This was my first experience using a dog walker via Rover and I’m so thankful that I ran across Dominique’s profile. She was amazing! She calmed my anxiety with leaving my dogs in someone else’s care, she was sweet and caring with my dogs and her communication was impeccable. I seriously cannot be more thankful to her!!! Please consider her for your pet care needs.”
“Courtney strives to provide excellent service by being punctual, always providing photos of my pets, and keeping a constant communication of how they are doing throughout my trip. I highly recommend anyone in the area to contact her if they need a reliable person to count on.”
“Thank you so much to Jenny for watching our two older dogs while we were overseas. We really appreciated all of the communication and pictures during every visit! This was the second time she has looked after our dogs and we will definitely continue to have her look after them whenever possible!”
“Anhelika IS THE BEST!! This is our second time using her & we feel so confident and comfortable that our little guy is being well taken care of when we are away. She goes above and beyond to play with him, spend time with him, and make sure he gets all the love we would give! To us it feels like this is more than just a job for her and our little guy definitely feels it too. Thank you Anhelika for taking such good care of our fur baby!!”
“So many great things to say about Lauren but I’ll keep this short. Rover can be a bit daunting for a first time customer. We hit the jackpot with Lauren! She was just amazing with our two pups - one of which requires daily medication.”
“Francesca was amazing with our cats while we were away on our honeymoon! Every day we received an extremely detailed update along with a slew of photos of our babies - this helped us to feel calm and relaxed while we were away as we never leave our kitties for long periods of time. We left detailed instructions and she followed everything to a T, and our kitties felt so comfortable towards the end of the week with her! We will definitely only use Francesca from here on out if we go away again, so happy we have someone we can trust! Thank you again!!!”
“Sarah was great with my two cats. She provided updates and pictures everyday. I appreciate her reasonable cost to do the drop in visits everyday. Sarah is also super nice and trustworthy to have in your home. Thanks Sarah.”
“Erin was the best dog sitter we could have asked for! As this was the first time using rover, her check ins and photos reassured us that our boys were in good hands. We can’t thank her enough and hope to use her services in the future.”
“Heather is wonderful and our boy, Rex, loves her! We have booked with Heather for over a year and will continue to do so. We can't thank her enough!”
About: I have always been a dog lover. My calm nature attracts dogs to me. I am reliable, loving, and nurturing. I have had the joy of owning and taking care of my neighbors and friends dogs for as long as I can remember. I am currently living in the beautiful downtown Frederick MD area. I am available to take care of your doggo(s) from 11-3pm for drop-ins or walks. If you need comfort that your dog(s) will be taken care of while you are away then I’m your girl. Whether you’re out of town, on the go, or away at work all day, I can provide drop in services to ensure your furry friend is visited, loved, fed, and exercised. I am a dog walker and drop in service only. I am a caring and loving person who loves animals. I love going on walks just as much as your furry friend does.
“I only needed Kaila for two days before my permanent dog walker starts, but she has been absolutely amazing! She’s able to handle my high energy bigger dogs very well and they seemed to warm up to her very quickly. She sent tons of pictures and did great at keeping me updated. Would absolutely use her services again in the future.”
“Audrey was great with both our cats and was very attentive to their habits/behaviors. We were much at ease knowing that audrey was taking care of the babues while we were away!”
About: I‘m a certified FFA pre-vet course completer. I know how to administer oral, eye, ear, and topical medications. I can care for dogs from puppies under one to seniors. I can also potty train and house train. I can also care for equines, reptiles, avians, and small exotics, having had owned them myself. I’m currently finishing my college spring semester. I will be active starting the middle of may. I‘m a college student at Dickinson College. I am at home for the summer, and have a flexible schedule. However, I am a working equestrian who gives training rides for my trainer, and I will have to leave for extended periods of time. I have an obligation to horses I exercise, which can vary from day to day. I will have select days I go to ride so I try to make my schedule as open as possible so please feel free to contact me for any questions. For dogs I have experience with walking, caring for, and sitting. I am able to follow your own schedule and routine as every dog is different. I can take your dog for long walks if needed, play when needed, and give as much attention to as possible, as I know every dog has different levels of energy. Do not worry that I have not owned dogs myself, I have a lot of experience caring for friends dogs from short walks to week long sittings. I can provide photos or updates as requested. For cats, I have owned them my entire life, and have experience with cat behavior. Again, like with dogs, I can follow your own cats schedule for feeding and brushing etc. My own cats are fed twice a day with snacks in between, get a lot of attention and play when they are in the mood, and have their boxes cleaned every night. I can provide photos or updates as requested. I can care for reptiles, having owned a turtle myself, and understand the care for most reptiles, for feeding, cleaning and health for if they require a special lamp. Again, I can follow any instructions of your own pets schedule. My own turtle was younger, so she was fed more often, and got a mix of protein and greens. I can give attention to your reptile and am comfortable with handling, as I know some reptiles like to explore. I can provide photos or updates as requested. I currently have my own guinea pig, and have cared for other small exotics in the past. I again can follow any schedule your pet requires. My own guinea gets full access to hay during the day, kibble mix in the morning and a cup of greens at night, and spot cleaning for his house daily. He also is given time to roam in the room. I can provide as much as possible for your small critters. I can provide photos or updates as requested. I can also care for birds, having owned them before myself, and again, follow any schedule provided. I can provide photos or updates as requested. Finally, I own two equines of my own and do most of their care myself. I can follow schedules, feed, give medications such as pills or even intramuscular shots, and clean stalls. I can care for young adults to seniors. I can provide photos or updates as requested. Every animal will receive the utmost best care I can provide, and can be monitored for any behaviors indicating sickness. I can always provide photos if requested or updates on your pet, as a pet owner myself I know how it is to miss a furry friend!
“Gabrielle was great. She took great care of our cats, sent lots of pictures and provided very thorough reports of their activities while we were away. Excellent pet sitter!”
“My pups absolutely loved Bonnie. Even though we didn’t have a pre-meeting, as soon she met them for the first time, they were all over her and connected with no issues. Bonnie was very very patient and flexible with us and very much understanding to our situation. She helped us to watch 4 dogs while I had a serious surgery and my husband didn’t have enough information to provide to Bonnie what time to come and leave. As frustrating it was, Bonnie was very professional and showed understanding and dignity to our situation when my husband had to leave for the hospital. Moreover, Bonnie regularly posted updates and pictures to make us feel comfortable that everything is ok at home and our babies are doing great and under a wonderful care. We definitely recommend Bonnie. Thank you for taking care of our pups!!!”
