“Was our 1st time boarding and Jer was so patient and understanding. Loved the daily check-ins and pictures, she was understanding when we were running late picking our boy up. If we need a sitter again we will definitely choose Jer. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy.”
“Jessica & her family took such great care of Walter while we where out of town for Christmas. She even went out of her way to buy him presents for Christmas morning! She sent multiple pictures every time Walter played with the kids, went on walks, and at meal times. She was extremely flexible, she even extended Walters stay for another day so we could drive home safely. Thank you for everything Jessica!”
“Lindsay is absolutely amazing! She treated our furr baby like her own. We are so grateful to have came across her. We will definitely be booking with her in the future. ??”
“Amy is amazing. She is kind and flexible and has done amazing job caring for Kalooki. We don’t have to feel guilty about leaving her behind because she is always excited to visit and has a great time either Amy’s family and the other pets to have fun with. Amy sends great photos and videos along the way that give us insights into her daily activities and friendships. She always comes home from her “vacations” exhausted in a good way, which is the best outcome of vacations for her humans too. Highly recommend!”
“My family and I were in town for a couple of days and we needed a last minute dog sitter. Cait had some good reviews and so we decided to move forward and have her dog sit. She was awesome! Our dog had a great time and Cait said she enjoyed playing with her dogs. If we’re in town again, we would definitely reach out!!”
“This was our first time leaving our beloved baby and using the Rover app. I’m so glad we found Ms. Robin. She took care of our dog while on vacation and we couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. ❤️?”
“Leticia was great. She was able to help me out with a last minute need. She sent pictures and videos of my dog having a great time and getting lots of love. Her dogs were a bonus and my dog loved playing with them. She was also able to accommodate a change in schedule pickup which was very helpful.”
“Rachel was so great to work with. Great communication and very responsive, from intros to meeting to dropping off etc. Beautiful house and big fenced in yard - perfect for an active dog. Rachel was amazing with our sweet 8mon old puppy, who was a little timid at first but warmed up quickly to their little puppy. They became fast best friends! We would definitely recommend and we will be using them again!”
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.
“Best sitter I could have ever asked for. I received pictures and updates on CJ the entire time. Stacey provided the care and attention my dog needed. Will always look to use her first anytime we may be away. Thank you Stacey!! ❤️?”
About: I've been around animals as long as I can remember. I currently have a puppy named Star and three cats Persephone (Purrsi), Odin and Loki. I foster for the local QA shelter and have worked in a vets office for a short time. I am lucky enough to work out of my house or remote so I am available seven days a week with enough notice. I can come to you or provide care in my house. I live in an end unit Duplex. I have a fenced in yard complete with a puppy pool and beds for lounging. I can provide care in my home or come to yours. Following directions and care requests provided is not a problem.
“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!”
“Katherine clearly has a great love of dogs and animals in general. When I picked up my dog Frannie, while it was clear she was happy to see me, she was also sad to leave. If we are ever needing boarding on the Eastern Shore again, we would go right back here.”
“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.”
“Ellen and her husband were amazing. Found them on Rover last minute after our other options fell through she was very accommodating and value of service was incredible. She stayed in contact with us during the week and sent pictures of Bodie throughout our 11 day vacation. They have a great property for dogs to run around and I will definitely be using them again!!!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.
“She has been wonderful! She treated Link like her own and knowing me as a dog mom, there is not alot of people I trust with my furbaby but I will definitely trust her with him. Link has been so happy during his whole stay and Kristin has been very kind and flexible especially when I had to make last minute changes due to unforseen circumstances. I will for sure book her again when I need to. Thank you so much for loving my baby, Kristin. :)”

Seth G.
“Seth has been watching my dog for the past eight years, and I couldn’t ask for someone more dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring. He treats my dog like family, always making sure she’s well-cared for, loved, and happy while I’m away. Seth’s own dog, Ziggy, is the sweetest and loves other dogs. My pup always comes home tired from all the fun they have together! It’s such a comfort knowing she’s not just being looked after, but also enjoying herself. It’s hard to find someone you can trust so completely with your pet, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had Seth be such a consistent and caring presence in my dog’s life. I can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a dedicated and loving pet caregiver”

Elizabeth W.
“Ashley W is the best. I have 2 active large dogs, Maisie (6 years old) and Petey (7 years old), who she has taken care of since they were puppies. She has been there for learning manners, leash training, zoomies, park play time, and overnight stays. My dogs absolutely love her and look forward to more playtime with her. She is always on time, communicates with me about all the details, and makes sure my babies are well cared for while I'm gone. I never worry about my pups while they are with her. I highly recommend Ashley W.”

She has worked in a veterinarian setting and is very familiar with management of illness or injuries of pets. Barb is reliable, completely trustworthy, and a woman of many talents. I highly recommend her in this role.”
