Her home was the perfect setting for my Mocha very kind and caring people and Zelda & Navi and chilren was 4 extra bonuses Mocha got to experience as well. Couldn't have gotten a better outcome! Mocha will definitely be coming back :)”
“Shadid is amazing! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving my puppy, Rudy, with someone else. From the moment we met Shadid, she was great with Rudy. I was concerned about Rudy getting anxious and being difficult to manage. I realized quickly that I had nothing to worry about with Shadid. Rudy was immediately comfortable with her. I don’t think he even noticed me leave because he was so excited to hang out with Shadid & Pebbles all day. Throughout the day, I received pictures of Rudy at the park and playing. It felt great knowing that Rudy was in good hands and having an amazing day. When I picked Rudy up, he was sad to leave! Rudy can be challenging and usually takes a while to warm up to people, so I was extremely impressed by Shadid’s ability to care for dogs. I would absolutely be comfortable leaving Rudy with Shadid again and am so grateful that I found her. If you love your dog and don’t know which sitter will be best, contact Shadid!! Your dog will have the best day and you’ll feel great knowing he/she is in good hands! From a professional standpoint, Shadid is excellent. I’m in medical school and was taking an exam during Rudy’s stay, so it was important to me that the sitter be professional. Shadid was perfect. She responds quickly and is completely reliable. I strongly recommend her!”
“Krista and Roger are our wonderful neighbors, and we recently started using them for occasional daycare for our dog, Grover. Grover loves spending time with Shyloh and their whole family. Krista’s incredibly responsive to my requests and any questions I have. We know Grover’s safe and loved when he visits Krista and Roger’s home!”
“Gracie was wonderful with my dog! She took him in for daycare two days, back to back. On the first day, the minute I left him he was crying because he didn't want me to leave - and on the second day, he ran towards her wagging his tail, happy as can be! Will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“Sardegna had a great experience with Will! We were nervous because she is still a puppy and we had not used rover before. We reached out to Will for a meet and greet and he was kind to accommodate us meeting before we booked daycare. Our pup took to him immediately. We took her for daycare the next day and she was happy to see him again! Will sent updates through the day and was a great host! I have already booked her next daycare sessions ☺️”
“Talina was great!! She made my labradoodle feel right at home with her while I was on vacation. It was clear from the photos she was comfy and happy.”
“Courtney was so great. She sent me updates with photos and checked in several times. Mocha was very tired from a fun packed day. Thank you again!”
“Coco was loved and communication was on point. I’ll be more than happy to bring her back for Laura to take care of her. Thank you Laura for loving my baby”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience. While living with my mom, I was the primary caregiver for our three dogs (all on different medications) and my epileptic cat, Cleo, who required syringe-administered medication every 12 hours. That daily care taught me how to confidently manage routines, give both oral and syringe medications, and care for pets with special needs or senior conditions. I’ve also dog-sat and cat-sat for friends, family, and neighbors, and I always bring patience, gentleness, and genuine love into every visit. Now I live with my partner in a pet-free home, which means I have a calm, clean space if your pet needs to stay over—or I can give them my full attention in your home. As a student, my schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, late evenings, or anything in between. I truly love connecting with animals and I’m always up for making a new furry friend. I’d be honored to care for yours like they’re part of my own family! As a teacher with summers off, pet care fits perfectly into my routine. During the summer months, I have a completely open and flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and any specific care needs like medication. Even during the school year, I’m available for early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m used to building my schedule around pets’ routines and love having the chance to spend my free time caring for animals—it’s a rewarding and joyful part of my week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home (which is pet-free), I provide a calm, quiet environment where your pet can relax and get lots of attention. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication needs, and I always follow your instructions closely to match what your pet is used to. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect their space and maintain their regular routine as much as possible—whether that means sticking to a walking schedule, managing medication, or keeping their favorite toys and sleeping spots just right. I also make sure to keep you updated with check-ins, photos, and anything else you need to feel confident while you’re away.
“When I pick up my dog from doggie daycare spots usually her nervous system is very hyped and anxious and she barks excessively for days after. When Olive spent the day with Carlos I could tell that she had a calm and positive day, her nervous system was not overly excited and she was calm and obedient at home. I knew she was in good hands for the day. The location is perfect for a dog with a spacious yard that can be totally monitored from the inside via huge windows. I was happy with my experience with Carlos and I will trust him with my Olive again.”
“John took great care of my dog! He is super communicative and very flexible with timing. I knew she was in great hands all day with him. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I've been caring for my 4 cats on a daily basis for a decade. In addition, I dog sit overnight for my partner every couple of weeks. I work from home, so leaving in the middle of the day is rather simple. In fact it's a nice change of scenery to get outside and be with a cute animal 🥰 I unfortunately can't care for pets in my home as my cats run the joint. But I love meeting new animals, playing with them, and getting out!
About: I grew up in a cat household but after leaving have had many dogs with roommates. This is me making up for lost time to enjoy with more pup baby’s and help pup parents. I currently have a 2 y/o mini Australian Shepard and it’s been the best 2 yrs of my life with him. I work remote and would love to get activity in the day before and after a long day of sitting in from of a computer. I play fetch and tug of war with them in the back yard and like to incorporate brain activity toys and activity for mental stimulation

Mansi C.
“"Leaving my dogs, Yoda and Annie, can always be a bit tough, but Mansi makes it so much easier. Her dedication to their well-being is truly exceptional. She treats them like her own, and that genuine care shines through in everything she does – from their joyful playtime to her meticulously attentive approach to their needs. For example, the photo updates Mansi provides are wonderful. These updates offer peace of mind, allowing me to see how happy and well-adjusted Yoda and Annie are while I am away. It’s comforting to know that my dogs are always in such loving and capable hands. Mansi is a true professional. It's impossible to recommend her highly enough."”

Rockville dog parents share their Rover experiences
We just finished our first-ever, non-family member dog sitting experience with John and his family and it could not have gone better! We are anxious pet parents with a sometimes-anxious little pup (11 lbs) and John completely put our minds at ease. Our Levie was already excited, after just a meet-and-greet, to visit and play with Yongyi. :-) John sent updates, pics, and videos so we could see that she felt comfortable enough to play and sleep. By the end of the day, she was having couch snuggles! We highly recommend John to all pet parents, but especially those who are new to Rover!
Talina was great!! She made my labradoodle feel right at home with her while I was on vacation. It was clear from the photos she was comfy and happy.
Polina is great! She is reliable and trustworthy. She regularly send updates and photos which we love. We feel safe having our pup with her.
Ryan was very thorough during our initial meeting to make sure he understood Sierra’s needs and could provide her the best care. She came home tired and in great spirits!
Yuki loved his time with Carlos! He’s only 5 months and is pretty shy and does not go right away with people but with Carlos, he felt right at home and immediately went to him. Carlos was communicative and would respond quickly which is very appreciated. Would book again! Thanks again, Carlos!
Thank you for always taking great care of Koda. We never have to worry when your sitting him. Also, he enjoys all the pampering and belly rubs you provide 🐾. Thank you!
Flora was super nice and accommodating. Our dogs got along perfectly and are now pals! Definitely will be using her again.
We had a great experience with Christopher. He accepted my very, very last minute booking request and took wonderful care of Trixie. Highly recommended!
Christopher took great care of my dog. He was also very flexible and understanding, which I really appreciated. My dog immediately liked him and I could tell she was comfortable even though he was new to her. He was great about staying in touch with updates throughout the day. I’ll definitely use him again in the future if I need another sitter in the area.
