“Asia is truly wonderful, she went above and beyond and my dog was very happy! she is very neat! she sent me photo updates and i was so relaxed knowing my puppy was in great hands, we are truly blessed to have encountered her on rover!”
“Maria is very sweet and kind and an excellent communicator. My senior dog can be very stubborn but she got him to cooperate no issue. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Lisa was very professional and communicative with me, but more importantly knows how to care for cats with varying personalities and needs. One of our cats is a bit territorial/cranky with strangers, and Lisa approached her with compassion and understanding. She engaged with our cats in the ways they were most comfortable. She was also very thoughtful regarding some light house sitting tasks such as making sure the dehumidifier wasn’t full. You can tell that Lisa is a true animal lover who treats others’ pets the same way she does her own. We and our cats had a very positive experience, and would highly recommend Lisa’s pet sitting services to others!”
“Alexis was tremendous. He left thorough review cards, lots of pictures, and was very communicative throughout his drop-ins. He was very flexible through a home-alarm difficulty, was very sweet to our cats, and we cannot recommend him enough. Please consider utilizing Alexis for your home visits!”
“Britney was amazing!! She treated my dog so well and listened to all my concerns. My dog is an anxious ball of fur and usually takes longer to warm to people, but loved Britney. Will use again!”
“Nathalie was amazing !! It was so reassuring that she was checking in on my kitty Duke. She did a great job. She was trustworthy in our home, reliable, communicative, and caring. That’s all one could ask for when watching your fur babies. Will definitely book her again.”
“Ivan was great! I was a little nervous because my cat can be really skittish and stressed around strangers (and for a few days after), but she was perfectly chill.”
“Marissa was great with my cat Freya. She sent lots of good pictures, didn't hesitate to contact me when she had questions about caring for my cat, and she was able to find time in her schedule to rebook last second for a few more days when my flights got canceled. It's clear Marissa is really dedicated and enjoys looking after pets. I'd certainly book her again if I need another sitter in the future. Thanks.”
“Sierra was an amazing sitter for our two cats! She was so good with them and we loved the pictures of the cats having fun with her while we were away. Sierra's communication was great and we would love to book with her again in future.”
“Sierra was such a wonderful caretaker for our pet bunny! She was super reliable and sent detailed updates with photos after each visit. Our bunny was shedding, so we asked Sierra at the last minute to add grooming and a daily tablet to her visits. She was really accommodating. After a 4 day trip, we came home to a really happy pet. We'll definitely try to book Sierra next time we're out of town. Thank you, Sierra!”

About: I will care for your dog as if it is my own. Every dog deserves a safe and happy environment and fun experiences too.

Very sensitive to changes that effect senior dogs and will gladly accommodate all special requests. In the human health care field and very attuned to special health needs of canines. I am dependable, reliable, caring and willing to go the extra mile for your dog. I coordinate a small neighborhood organization that raises funds on a small scale basis for local cat rescue.

“Jasmine was very responsive to my messages and we quickly aligned on scheduling. Jasmine did a wonderful job handling my two very high energy dogs. I’m looking forward to Jasmine watching my dogs more in the future.”
About: I’ve had animals for my whole life up until i moved to college, so i’ve been needing that furry friend fix recently! during the summers i cat sit for a few family friends, but would like to extend my services! I’m home from college for the summer and working full time but depending on my shift can be there in the mornings and evenings, though overnight visits would work best so that i can be there in the morning and at night. i know it can be stressful for a pet to be away from their people. my mission is to make sure the animals know they are safe and loved and not alone!

“Ana did such a wonderful job with my dogs when they had to take medications, had an upset stomach or itching issues. She sent me photos and videos which really lifted my spirits. Ana is very attentive and asks about how you would like things done in your home. I have two small dogs and would recommend her. My two dogs have different personalities and she was great at helping them each at their own pace.”
About: I’m Dan and I love dogs. I’ve always had a K-9 companion and love the company dogs provide. Walks, fresh air and playtime are things I like just as dogs do. I’m caring, loving, and respectful and always treat others the way I want to be treated. I’ve had a dog all throughout my life and have experience caring for animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities! I have the most experience with Black Labradors, German Shepherds and Beagles, but would care for any pup.

When I’m not spending time with animals, I spend my time working full-time at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. I love heading to the gym, reading, playing video games, and spending time with my family.

“I could tell Lucy loved every second she was under Irene’s care with every photo/video she sent. Great communication and even better care. Everything was handled perfectly and came home to a very happy and well taken care of cat. I will definitely be booking Irene again.”

Jenna always arrives on time (or a little early) and takes great care of my large puppy, Pumpkin! Jenna has been taking care of Pumpkin since Pumpkin was ~3 months old and she’s now over 9 months. Jenna is kind, reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommend! PS Jenna is very responsive also. 5 star!
Sarah was fantastic. My girlfriend and I were in a bind before Memorial Day Weekend and we reached out to her. She was very quick with responses and came and met both our dogs the day after we started messaging. She updated us with pictures for every visit daily and even tracked on the app their bathroom updates. One of the pups needs a lot of accommodating with his eating which was no problem for Sarah. She even watered my plants while we were gone, a great added bonus! This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous but Sarah calmed those nerves. We were able to enjoy our vacation that much more knowing the pups were in good hands. We will 100% be using Sarah moving forward if we ever need help!
Marissa goes to great lengths to make sure all of our pets are taken care of. She consistently checks in, provides great photos, and her updates are thorough. She is great at following any specific instructions even if they’re absurd because of a needy dog or a cat that tries to escape at any chance. We are so grateful to have found Marissa and will continue to use (and have already booked!) her services again.
Sean and his partner Paulina were quick to respond to all messages and showed up on time, both to our meet and greet and to all three cat-sitting sessions while we were out of town. Our two babies were well fed and watered, and the more social one got some attention and play from Paulina too. The shy guy had a cleaned litter box to use when he came out of hiding after they left, but before that they even watered the flower baskets on our porch as a heat wave was starting. Thanks again Sean and Paulina!
Courtney, did a wonderful job with our boys. We have a shy cat and he took right to her. She sent regular pictures and did regular check-in’s. We feel lucky to have found her. She made our vacation much less stressful. We will definitely use her again or you recommend everybody else use her except if we need her at that time. 😉
