About: I have always been around animals whether they were my own or someone else’s. I have also shadowed at vet clinics and done kenneling briefly at a clinic. I love spending time with pets and taking care of them. I am a college student who is currently studying biology, I then plan to go to vet school. So over the summer and holiday breaks I have plenty of time to care for pets. If they are on a feeding schedule I follow that schedule. I’m also very active myself and love being out side. If it’s nice out I’ll take your animal out to play and walk.
“We used Rachel for the first time this week and will definitely be continuing to book with her in the future!! Our kitty loved her and she had great communication. Highly recommend!!!”

“Mikayla stopped by to check on our cat. She’s professional, reliable and great at communicating! She gave our kitty some food, treats, checked on her littre box, and more importantly gave her some love😻 My cat was happy and I could hear her PURRRs on the phone 🧡 Thank you Mikayla!”


About: I've always loved being around animals and enjoyed making them feel comfortable and safe. People always warn me about their pets before I meet them saying they may do too much of this or that but it truly would never bother me at all. I adore animals, especially dogs, and I've even had my own dog to take of as well. I would be taking classes over the summer, but they're asynchronous so the work load is no rush and because of that I feel like I would have plenty time to take care of any pets if needed. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their usual environment. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and house rules. During visits and walks, I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and make sure they're getting plenty of attention and care. I also make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos whenever possible.
“Thank you for taking care of our puppy. Great detailed visit. Pictures and everything we asked for our puppy’s needs was accomplished and more! Will call again, we are regulars now!”
“Morgan was great with our Russell! Doing everything asked of her and even giving hugs and extra cuddles. I will definitely use Rover for Morgan’s assistance again and recommend to friends.”

“As always, we (and our girls) are always so thankful Aleyah comes and spends time with them while we are away! She is always so thorough, spends time with them, and they are comfortable with her now! We know our little babes are in great hands when she comes on by. Thank you, Aleyah!”

“Madison has been an exceptional caretaker for my two Siberian huskies. From the moment she began working with them, her warmth, kindness, and natural connection with animals were immediately evident. She is incredibly dependable and consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dogs are not only well cared for but genuinely happy. Her gentle demeanor and intuitive understanding of animal behavior have made a noticeable difference in my dogs’ mood and energy. They truly enjoy being around her, and it’s clear that she brings out the best in them. Madison has a special way with animals—one that fosters trust, comfort, and joy. I’m very pleased with the care she’s provided so far and feel confident knowing my dogs are in such capable and compassionate hands. I highly recommend Madison to anyone seeking a reliable and loving pet caretaker.”

“Amanda was wonderful with Lynx. She is a very shy cat, but within the second visit Amanda had her out and about for pets and attention. Will be booking with Amanda whenever she is available!”

“Kylie takes such wonderful care of our cat, not only with all the basic needs, but also giving her lots of love and attention with pets and play. Our cat seems very happy and relaxed as can be when we get home, and we definitely plan to contact Kylie the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Shannon was amazing! I received updates and pictures of how my fur baby was managing. The meet and greet went well. I love how flexible Shannon was with scheduling. I will be using Shannon again!”

About: I’ve only had a personal pet. We had Bigs for almost 7 years before we had to put him down. I learned a lot from Cesar Milan at first but then realized consistency and love were the key to success. I’m currently care giving so I have a flexible schedule. I don’t work but I’m not available every day. I’m looking to help with your fur baby 3 day out the week, midday. I had to put my baby down recently, but, when he was around he was mostly indoors. We played with him outside and took him on regular walks. He had a bed in every room lol but was restricted from certain rooms in the room using a gate for the steps.
“I can’t say enough good things about Victoria and Ryan. They are the only people I trust with my pets, and that says everything. From the moment they started caring for my dogs, I knew they were in the best hands—attentive, reliable, loving, and truly in tune with animals. It’s such a relief to be able to leave home and know my pets are not only safe but genuinely happy. Thank you for always going above and beyond!”

“Scherry did an excellent job watching our dog and cat while we were away. Scherry communicated and responded quickly to Rover texts and was flexible to our needs. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family.”


About: If requesting for dog walking services I can provide leash training and basic obediance if requested. I am comfortable with specific schedules and administrating medication. Hello my name is Christa, we are a military family. I was in the Navy for 7 years and my husband is currently stationed in Indian head. In the past we have owned a dachshund and a westie, so they hold a special place in our hearts, but we love all dogs. In our house your dog will be one of the family. We will give them all the love and snuggles! Must be good with children. I have a 1yo and 4yo. They are very gentle with animals but will still get in their face and want to pet them. We only watch one dog at a time. I am a stay at home mom so your pet will get lots of attention and frequent potty breaks. We also like to go on walks when the weather is not too hot. I usually bring a wagon, incase anyone gets tired. My husband is a couch potato. All dogs love him and are usually snuggling up on the couch with him in the evenings. I currently stay home with my daughter full time so we have all the time to give your fur babies the attention and love they deserve with frequent walks and love. We like to go for many walks around our neighborhood. Our neighborhood is quiet and has many walking trails nearby. We do not go out if the weather is too hot.
“Casey was phenomenal with our pup! Loved being able to communicate with her and she even sent the cutest photos of our pup! I will definitely be using Casey for all of our future drop in, babysitting, and doggie care! Thank you Casey !!!”

La Plata pet parents share their Rover experiences
Valerie provided excellent care for our dogs under extremely difficult conditions. Our vet had prescribed trazadone to help relieve Bubba's separation anxiety. Unfortunately, the trazadone caused him to have diarrhea. That caused him to develop a bad rash and infection despite Valerie's best efforts to keep him clean and comfortable. The demands on her time became too much, since she has a full-time job and several other pets to care for. None of us could have seen this coming, but eventually we had to bring on a new Rover sitter who could spend the time and effort to take care of Bubba. Of course we also had her discontinue the trazadone. Again none of the problem was Valerie's fault. She did all she could and more. We would certainly hire her again.
