“Lindsey was great! She took wonderful care of our fur baby. Her kids gave our dog lots of attention and she had a great time. Lindsey gave regular updates and sent photos. It felt great knowing that Jovi was in good hands and I wouldn't hesitate to leave our dog with her again.”
“We can’t thank Kai enough for being an absolute lifesaver during our recent trip to Ocean City. We had brought our dog Rex along, thinking the hotel allowed pets—but to our surprise, they didn’t. We were in a real bind, and Kai came through for us in the best possible way. She welcomed Rex into her home on short notice and treated him like one of her own. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. Kai kept us updated throughout the stay with regular messages and the sweetest pictures—it made such a difference knowing he was in loving hands. Rex was so happy and well cared for. When we picked him up, he looked like he’d had a vacation of his own! If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, and genuinely loves dogs, I cannot recommend Kai enough. She was truly a blessing, and we are beyond grateful for her help.”
“Jessica really went above and beyond! We have two old dogs, one of whom is blind, so they are special in a few ways. She sent several updates each day, with lots of pictures, so we were reassured that they were in very caring hands with her and her family - including a very gentle little one. Our boys were so happy and relaxed when we brought them home. Honestly they didn't seem super thrilled to be leaving when we picked them up - we know they must have had a wonderful vacation of their own at Jessica's!”
“Kayla and Bryant are absolutely amazing! I’m so thankful I found them. They go above and beyond for you and your fur baby! Cooper loved his stay and can’t wait to go back! If I could give a 100 stars I would!”
“Being a first time user of Rover this experience couldn’t have gone any better! After meeting Robin I was at ease. She sent pictures/videos. I’d definitely use Robin again!!”
“Daniela was absolutely wonderful with Elsa! Her calm and soothing presence made Elsa feel comfortable right away. Elsa also loved spending time with Daniela’s sweet dog—I’m pretty sure they became fast friends. I felt completely at ease knowing Elsa was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Daniela to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and trustworthy caregiver!”
“Our dog, Scout stayed with Julie and her family for a week and she had an amazing time! They took great care of her with lots of walks and playing with Julie’s kiddos. We will definitely be using Julie again in the future if and when needed! Seriously appreciate the care given to Scout and the updates we got throughout the week made us miss her just a little less!”
“Jermaine was awesome! Our dog, Reese, is getting older and I feel like a traditional kennel is a little too loud & stressful for her. Leaving her with Jermaine gave us the peace of mind we needed. He was communicative and positive. She came home happy & healthy. We are very grateful and will absolutely use his services again”
“I had a fantastic experience with Kathryn for my toy poodle, Prince! She was attentive and caring, and Prince came back happy. Kathryn kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had different types of dogs since I was young. I’ve trained dogs for all types of reasons. I’m a lover of all pups and can handle your dogs needs. I own a large property specifically for the environment, which is perfect for dogs. I look forward to meeting your doggie and returning a happy pup back to you. Please message for any details. I’m available on weekends and weeknights. I work full time M-F, so weekends are primarily open. While I can do many activities during the work week, I am gone about 8 hours for my primary job. Weeknights and weekends are available. I have a large property with plenty of room to roam. Chickens in the yard (in coop). I have a 6 year old pup of my own that is very docile, loves other animals and gets along with them easily, and is my number two. I don’t have a fence because my dog is perimeter trained. However, I can perimeter train your dog too or walk them on a leash if that is preferred. I plan to add a fence soon and will update this once I do.
“Denise did a great job with our puppers! They warmed up very quickly to Denise and her family. Everyone in the family were very affectionate with Ollie and Daisy, so I know that made them feel right at home. I had no concerns leaving our dogs there and would use her again in a heart beat!”
“Vy was great! She sent photos and videos of sailor everyday and we didn’t question for a minute if he was having fun! Also, special thanks for Forrest for being the sweetest companion this past week!”
“What a beautiful family! Jessica thank you for welcoming my girls into your home. You made an overnight stay stress-less! Thanks for all the pictures and updates! Take good care and we’ll see you again.”
“This was our first time ever using Rover as we just acquired a rescue puppy. Jodi was the perfect match for our fur baby. She understood his need for walks and his “zoomies” (periods of over excitement). I could not have picked a better sitter. During our absence she sent us pictures and updates which made us feel near him. I cannot say enough great things but rest assured she will always be our go to person for Maverick.”
“Kristin made this experience so easy! Leaving my fur babies with a new sitter is always a little nerve wracking but she was open to a meet and greet and immediately we were at ease. She is attentive to my dogs needs and my concerns. She showed me around her house/where they’d be staying and responsibly introduced her dogs to mine. She has a spacious fenced in back yard for the boys to run and is flexible with your kennel preferences. Kristin sent lots of updates / pictures and even made them home made dog treats during their stay!🥺 I can’t say enough good things, finding her to watch our dogs has been such a blessing! Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking care of the boys !!”
About: I've had animals the majority of my life. I currently have 4 dogs in my home; 2 labs (ages 12 & 7) and 2 great dane sisters (age 2) plus I have chickens and ducks outside. I can handle everything from puppy all the way to senior. I own my own business and work from home so I have alot of flexibility as far as being able to care for your babies whether in my home or yours. I have a fenced yard for them to run as they please. Our pets are allowed on all furniture and beds, it's their home too!

Seth G.
“I have known Seth for nearly 6 years and in that time I have seen what an incredible pet caregiver he is. He adores and takes such good care of his own dog, Ziggy (the sweetest boxer in the world), as well as a flock of lovely chickens who also adore him to the point of wanting to come into his house! I’ve seen him interact with and take amazing care of other animals too, including cats and ducks. Seth has such a warm personality and you can tell he truly cares for and loves animals. I would absolutely trust him to care for my own pets. He’ll go above and beyond to make sure your pet is cared for, not only covering the basics (feeding, watering, bathroom time, etc.), but also providing love, affection, and play. I highly recommend Seth to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
