“Linda is absolutely fabulous! She house sat for my two dogs, one of whom has special needs and requires medication. She kept me updated and send pictures throughout the stay. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my time away knowing they were well taken care of and happy! She was also very respectful while in my home, keeping it clean, watering the plants, and even changing the sheets. I would highly recommend booking Linda as your pet sitter. I plan to continue to utilize her services. However the review that truly matters is your dog’s opinion. When they go crazy with tail wags and kisses for your sitter, like they did for Linda, that’s a really good person!”
About: I have grown up with a family dog all my life and now have my own! I have loved and trained him since he was a puppy and consistently receive compliments on how he is such a good boy and how well-behaved he is! I have always enjoyed taking care of doggos for family and friends and am very excited to help take care of yours! I am very good with dogs of all ages including young puppies in their teething and potty training phase to senior dogs who want cuddles and sniffs. I am available for house sitting and will spoil your pet with attention, play time, and walks while you are off enjoying your vacation or trip. I am also available for drop-ins and walks! You can count on me to keep your pets safe and happy :-) I have a very flexible summer schedule and can keep your pets on the their typical routines! I am happy to follow any special instructions you have your doggo! Every pet is unique and my goal is to take care of your pet as you would so you can be care-free while you are away and sleep easy knowing your pet is in good hands. You can trust me to keep your pets safe and your home exactly as you left it. I will treat your home as if it was my own, just like your pet.
About: I’ve had a dog and 3 cats growing up. I am constantly around dogs and they all love me. My friends and neighbors have trusted to watch their animals when they are away. I just graduated college and looking for a fun job for over the summer! I have lots of free time so I am available to help with your animals whenever you need! I have one cat at home but he’s not the biggest fan of new animals. I love playing with animals and making sure they use most of the energy.
“Jaclyn was great! She got along with our dogs like she knew them from day one of them joining our family. She went above and beyond to take care of them thank you so much to Rover and especially Jaclyn.”
“Rebecca was AMAZING. VERY RESPONISIBLE and LOVING to our two elderly furry family members while she took care of them over a 5 day period. Our only option was a 5 STAR RATING however she is in an ELITE GROUP that is WAY ABOVE the 5 star rating scale.”
“Annie was AMAZING! She took such great care of our babies. Patches has anxiety, and unfortunately gets sick sometimes from it, and Annie went above and beyond on making sure she was OK. She also sent us pictures and a video while we were away. Highly recommend this young lady!!”
“Rachael was an amazing sitter for puppy and cat. We have a 9 month black lab who is very high energy and Rachael was great with her. I was so relieved to know our pets were happy and being taken care of while we were away.”
“Heather was awesome! She was amazing with our pup, and was available super last minute when I needed her! We got regular updates, she was very prompt with responses and timing. 10/10!”
“Kelsey did great with our energetic puppy. She was very diligent about listening to all the things we told her about our dog, environment and needs. I would highly recommend.”
“Ayana was professional, accommodating, and did amazing with our two (anxious) dogs! Our house was left clean and tidy and our dogs were very well cared for. Will absolutely recommend and book again!”
“AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!! I’m so incredibly grateful for Allie! She made my sweet girl feel so comfortable while we were away for a weekend. Allie is so kind, experienced with dogs, and keeps you updated throughout the stay! She loved my dog like her own, and I feel so comfortable and confident leaving my Sopa in her care. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!! :)”
About: My family got a chocolate lab when I was 8 & I have had pets ever since. I am a part time nanny of 2 boys, 5 & 9. I cared for their elderly dog of 15 along with them for the last year of his life. I am very patient & gentle, I do not yell or get overly upset with children or animals. At the end of their dog Madden’s life he had a lot of accidents & emotional needs. Cleaning up after him & taking care of him never bothered me. It made me happy to give him comfort & nurturing, especially at the very end when he wasn’t feeling very well. I cared for my family dog similarly when he was at the end of his life. I had my first personal pet Cornica the cat (pictured with the corn toy lol) for 9 happy years. She unfortunately passed in 2024 from a severe hyper thyroid issue that came on very suddenly. Putting her down was the hardest most painful decision of my life but it was what was best for her. 2 months later I rescued my two sister cats Ice Cream & Sundae from a local cat shelter. They are such wonderful good girls & I am so blessed to have them. We all love each other very much. My sister’s dog who I have cared for many time has allergies so I have experience in providing both medication & supplements to dogs. I also have experience with providing medication & supplements to cats as I mentioned Cornica had a thyroid issue & I give my current cats preventative vitamins. I love all types of animals including those seen as scary such as tarantulas, reptiles & snakes. As you can see I have my cousin’s snake on my head in one photo. I even like bugs & do not kill them. I added the photo of me with the dolphin just because it was such an amazing experience & dream of mine I was able to achieve. I work part time as a nanny on a rotating schedule, so I either work Monday & Wednesday during the week or Tuesday & Thursday. Weekends I am always free. Fridays I do work for my side business, I am a professional psychic for the last 6 years. I am very gentle, patient & cautious with my cats & other people’s animals. After my first cat passed from being sick so suddenly I am extremely proactive & even a bit hyper vigilant to make sure everyone is happy & healthy. I am very tapped into their usual behaviors & personalities to be quick to notice any deviations. I have lots of toys, scratch posts & comfy places for my ‘beans’. We play & cuddle all the time. Vet & nurses comment on what good, sweet girls they are. I make sure they get plenty of open window & enrichment time as well. I keep very clean litter boxes too to encourage great bathroom behavior & comfortability for them.
“Sarah and Jim did such a great job taking care of our labs, Moose & Butter. They were very thorough and flexible. One of our dogs is a puppy and they were very attentive to her schedule and specific needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, bunnies, fish, and guinea pigs since around age 11. Neighbors and family trust me to walk, feed, cuddle and play with any fur babies. I am currently a full time college student on summer break until late August. I am currently working part-time at a job with flexible hours, so I am able to work around certain request times. I am comfortable cuddling and playing with your animals inside or outside the home! I will crate animals if requested. I am highly communicative and will send updates/pictures from the visit/sitting. The more the merrier!
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 5 years now! From puppies with potty breaks and crazy sleep schedules to senior dogs with medications! I work full time during the week so it gets a little crazy but I am free on most weekends! I could make some week days work depending on needs! I live in an apartment that does not allow animals but I would stay at your home to make your pet feel most comfortable! I bring lots of treats, lots of love and loads of playtime!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, from watching relatives dogs to neighbors across the street. I personally have two large German Shepards in Connecticut. I’ve volunteered at MSPCA in Boston and worked with puppies there. I’m very patient with dogs of all ages and activity levels! I am available all day on the weekends, and only nights during the week since I work full time. Preferred to board dogs on the weekends. I have a very large living room with plenty of space for animals! I also have a large yard for them to walk around and love going on walks with dogs.
“Exceeded expectations! Gouda has her anxiety isse(which leads to us having our own issues) but Eddie handled all of us well, even with his own family challenges coming up while we were away. Would definitely use him again!”
“Alexis has been an amazing sitter for my babies! The one can be a handful with a combination of hound and puppy energy that can make anyone weary, but Alexis was great with him! I came home to a house that looked better than I left it! She was very communicative and sent photos, too. I am already using her in a few weeks again and wouldn’t hesitate to book again and again!”
Rockville pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was the 1st time that we had left our kitten over night and Linda made us very comfortable with that! We had regular updates and pictures and have booked Linda for our next trip! We are confident that we've made the right choice in car for our young baby!
We had a wonderful first experience with Camber and would absolutely use her again! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive to our initial outreach, which immediately gave us confidence. When she came to meet our dogs, she was calm, patient, and took the time to let them get comfortable with her at their own pace. She also asked thoughtful, detailed questions to make sure she fully understood their routines and needs. While we were away for spring break, she provided frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated—it made it so much easier to relax knowing our dogs were in good hands. She went above and beyond by checking in to see if there was anything she could help with around the house! When we returned home, everything was in great shape, and our dogs were happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and thoughtful dog sitter. Thank you, Camber - you’re the best!!
Luna is AWESOME!!!! We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs received! She stayed in our home while we were away, and it was clear from the start that our pups were in great hands. They absolutely adored her — it was like they were on their own little vacation! She treated them as if they were her own, giving them love, attention, and care every step of the way. We received regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. The house was clean and just as we left it, which we really appreciated. We’ve already booked her again for later this month and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and respectful pet sitter. She’s truly a gem!
