“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”
“Nicholas is great with dogs and is very knowledgeable. We didn’t have many doggy day care options with a 3 month old who couldn’t be around strange or unvaccinated dogs yet, so we were grateful to find Nicholas, who would come get our pup, be so sweet with him, help him get all his yayas out, and sent lots of pictures and videos doing the day. We couldn’t recommend him more for puppy sitting!”
“My Jessie has separation anxiety, which I is why I bring her to daycare. She did very well with Lidia and Lidia's sweet, mellow dog. I will definitely bring her there again.”
“Sausage had another wonderful time with Veronica, Caleb and their fur family. I recently found out that Harper, the matriarch of Veronica’s pick of Westies, has taken a special interest in Sausage and is very protective of him. Makes me feel so reassured to know that I’m addition to Veronica and Caleb’s watchful eyes, Sausage has Harper looking after him too. 4 paws way up!!!”
“We were in town for the day and were so lucky to find Meredith and Kevin for doggy daycare. Our dogs had a great time and came back happpy and tired with zero stress. Thank you”
“Liz and Jeffrey were so wonderful with Lola and Daisy! It was fairly last minute and they were incredibly understanding. They provided a lot of information about their home and care that made me feel so much better about dropping my girls off with them. They even got to attend the eclipse viewing party with some fabulous kids!! They provided lots of updates and videos which helped me enjoy a long day at work. One of the best Rover experiences I've ever had, if not the very best!!”
About: 10 years fostering dogs with a local shelter—puppies, medical cases, reactive dogs, seniors, and the shy ones who need extra patience. My favorites are large dogs and blockheads (staffies, rotties, pit mixes), though a small dog sneaks in now and then (frenchies, Havanese, corgi, etc). I'm new to Rover but not to petsitting. I've cared for dogs from families who adopted my fosters for years, and I've been active on Wag! At my house, dogs get on the furniture, play hard, and get spoiled. Belly rubs, butt scratches, and ear massages come standard. My goal is to send your dog home happy, loved and tired. I'm self-employed and work from home when dogs stay with me. (My clients are used to dogs making an appearance during Zoom calls.) I'm a runner so long walks with dogs is just part of the fitness routine. I match my schedule to your dog's feeding and bathroom schedule. Every dog that comes here is treated with patience and care. Some arrive nervous, anxious, or unsure—maybe a potty accident in a new space, maybe hesitant to settle. My job is to help them feel safe, give them time to decompress, and meet them where they are. When they're ready, I'm here for play and snuggles. I have a fenced yard and my property backs up to a park. Dogs get regular walks, plus potty breaks. If a dog needs shorter, lower-key outings, we do on-leash trips to the park right behind the house. If your dog is reactive, we do backyard potty breaks and walk off-peak hours on a specific path to minimize potential sightings of other dogs.
About: I've cared for everything from birds and hamsters to cats and dogs! As a teacher and former daycare worker, I bring a calm, nurturing presence that pets (and babies!) naturally respond to. Whether it’s playful puppies or senior pets needing gentle care, I treat every animal like family. Since I am a teacher, I get summer off. My last day is June 18th, so after my last day my schedule is very flexible. I will be available every day of the week. My cats are indoor and I feed them in the morning when I wake up and before going to sleep. If the client has a dog, I like to take the dogs to the park or on a long walk and ensure they get physical activity. I feed them according to their schedule and make sure they get lots of snuggles throughout the day.
“Daniel was wonderful with my puppy, Lestat! Lestat came home happy and tired from all the playing, which tells me he had an amazing time. This was his first time socializing up close with other animals, and Daniel made the experience awesome and comfortable for him. I truly appreciate Daniel and his wonderful fur babies for helping Lestat feel safe and welcome. I highly recommend him!”
“My pup didn’t want to leave when i came to pick him up!! My puppy Sulley clearly received such great care and attention from both Carly and her family. Their dog Oliver was also sweet and playful with Sulley as well! I already plan to book with Carly again!”
“Karla was absolutely amazing with Sausage. Sausage is a very elderly dog with mobility and anxiety issues and Karla was able to care for and watch over him with patience and persistence, trying multiple ways to calm and soothe him until he was eventually able to settle down. I don’t trust my little pup with just anyone, and Karla never once gave me reason to worry. Clear communication from the get-go with multiple updates throughout the stay. I can’t say enough good things about Karla. We will definitely be asking her to watch Sausage again in the future!”
“Jasmine is great!! This is my first time using Rover, and I am glad I found her. She is super responsible - asking me about daily routine; taking my dog outside for walk etc. Easy to communicate as well! Highly recommend 🥰🥰”
“Shaline was great! She asked many questions during the meet-and-great, and clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. She took my dog Violet on a very long walk, and even worked on some training & leash skills with her during her day care stay. She sent plenty of updates, and Violet came home tired and happy. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Brandi took great care of our beagle boys. You can tell she loves animals. The yard and the home are great for hosting our dogs. She was very responsive and kept us updated with pictures. I’m so glad we met Brandi!”
“Liz was so kind and amazing with Maverick. Sent me pics and updates throughout the day and even helped teach Mav some new skills. I felt super comfortable trusting her and would recommend her to anyone!!”
Lakeland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Robin and her family were amazing! our fur baby started staying with them at 10 weeks old and they loved her like their own. they were pretty flexible when things came up last minute. our day to day responsibilities would not have been possible without their help with our fur baby who received all the love and care. 100% would recommend Robin and her family ❤️
So easy and comforting. Madeline has a lovely home and my pup took to her right away. It sounds like everyone had a nice time. It feels like such a luxury to be able to leave her with someone and not worry at all. That was my experience. Next time I'm in Baltimore with Phifer I'll be contacting Madeline.
Meredith and Kevyn were beyond amazing! This is the first time my dogs have ever been away from home and needless to say they were in such great hands. They went out of their way to accommodate us in so many ways and we are truly grateful. I would highly recommend them for any of your dog needs. My dogs will definitely be returning 🤗Thank you both and your staff for all you have done for my babies 🐾🦴
Brianna is one of the few sitters outside of family I trust to watch my Milo. He always looks happy when he comes home, and I know he is so well taken care of. Brianna shares photos of their time together which puts me at ease throughout the day, and I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful person to treat Milo like their own! Thanks Brianna 💗

Lidia to great care of our fur baby! We appreciate her professionalism. Our dog was relaxed and stress free. You can tell she enjoyed her time there. Lidia sent pictures of our dog enjoying herself. I will definitely use her again and also refer to anyone that needs a dog sitter. Thanks so much!
I booked Shanitta to watch my dog, Chronos, and she was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I dropped him off, she invited me inside to see her home and make sure I was comfortable with everything, which I really appreciated. Throughout the day, she sent plenty of videos and pictures so I always knew how he was doing. She even logged his activities, including when he ate and when he used the bathroom. Chronos looked so happy and clearly had a great time with her! Shanitta was communicative, patient, and genuinely caring. I felt at ease leaving Chronos with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!
Ashley has been my go to sitter ever since I used her for the first time a couple weeks ago! She sends the best updates throughout the day of our pups playing together, even when I’m super busy at work & can’t answer. Yesterday was a really rough & long day at work & she was super flexible & kind about a late pick up time. Sadie has the best time whenever she’s there!
