“Jess was so good with Harper and I like the way she let Harper interact with her family. This is the first time I ever left my dog with the sitter. When I saw how easily Harper went to Jess, I felt very relieved. Her prices were extremely reasonable. I will definitely use her again.”


2. Janel G.


“I used Rover for the first time for doggy day care over the 4th of July weekend 2022 while on vacation. I chose Janel based on her excellent reviews and the fact that she was conveniently located in DeepCreek/ McHenry, MD. I also loved that the dogs had full access to her home and even allowed on the furniture. Janel and her family welcomed my 50 pound female labradoodle with open arms as one of their own. I received photo's of My girl on walks and relaxing at the house which reassured me that she was in good hands. I previously used different company in the area and when picking up my dog she was very stressed and anxious. I assumed she may have been crated for some length of time. Not a good situation for an active 2 year old. She was the total opposite when I picked her up from Janel's home. Her tail was wagging and she was in good spirits. I am very pleased and feel fortunate to have found Janel and her family. I am a frequent visitor to the area and hope Janel's home will be a second home for Maya. I'm so grateful for dog loving families like Janel's! Yolanda”

About: I love animals and spoiling them is my game! I have 3 spoiled dogs. I have had my own personal animals for as long as I can remember. Each pet I look after is treated as my own. I grew up on a farm and we took in rescues of any kind. I have been taking care of puppies and kittens on bottles to seniors with shots/meds at times my whole life. Each pet I look after is treated as my own. I'm working part-time at home. I have time for play, walks, and maybe just a fun ride for a pup cup. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs. I have 3 friendly dogs, 2 small (8 lbs) /1 med (25 lbs). I have crates of different sizes, harnesses and leads, and collars if needed.


4. Shanna S.

“Shanna is an amazing sitter who I trust to watch and enrich my 3 month old puppy. She’s very prompt about responding and is a great communicator about pick up and drop times. She is a certified dog trainer, so I know my dog is getting the best care. She asked me about what I want my dog to learn and what skills he already had. And then reinforced them! She had my dog toileting outside in a day or two. Shanna also went above and beyond in my mind when she got my puppy some edible chews because he was teething. I offered to pay, but she wouldn’t hear of it. Truly an amazing person who clearly just loves dogs. And my pup clearly agrees! He was excited to see her after the first day and every day since he has readily jumped into her arms. He comes home tired and in general more responsive and calm to my commands. Shanna’s about a 20-30 minute drive out of town for me, but she is TOTALLY worth it. I would say she is the top tier of any dog sitter I have ever had. This is definitely who you want to watch your dogs.”


5. Jessica K.

“This was the first time our puppy was away from us and staying with someone else. Jessica proved to be very knowledgeable about animal behaviors to just let our pup do her own thing and give her space. Jessica was very accommodating with our drop off and pick up times. Her home was welcoming and conducive to pets. I highly recommend her!”


6. Josie L.

“This is the second time Josie has take care of our dog and she does a great job! Very professional, communicates well and has a big fenced in backyard for lots of play time. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have had dogs & cats my entire life—all shapes, sizes & colors. I am passionate about providing loving and attentive support to pets of all kinds. I have experience administering medications, watching puppies, caring for seniors, you name it! Most notably, I pay close attention to those special pets who may need specific care. I am dedicated to making each pet's experience enjoyable and stress-free. I believe every pet deserves the best, and I will always strive to provide that with the utmost compassion and professionalism. My schedule is pretty flexible since I’m a student. I only have class on Monday-Wednesday leaving my schedule open almost entirely. I also have time those days too. I understand that some pets need fed on a certain schedule or let out more often than others. My open availability allows me to provide that. I understand the trust needed to allow a "complete stranger" into your home. I promise to make sure as though you and your pet don't feel as if I am a stranger. That being said, I prefer always meeting you and your pet before providing care. I will also treat your pet, and your home, as my own. Giving them and it the utmost care and respect.
