“Cooper enjoyed his time with Huan, her family, their dog and the daycare dog. She fussed over him and let me know of any concerns immediately. We also got daily pictures and videos. He came home exhausted.”
“I was nervous to leave my dog Archie with a sitter for the first time, but it went wonderfully! Lina and her family spoiled Archie with lots of treats and time in the yard, and I got lots of photo updates. He's already looking forward to his next stay! ❤️🐶”
“Kelly is great. Colby loves her even on our meet and greet. She constantly sent me pictures to show me how Colby is doing and how much fun he is having. I am sure he is missing her and her nice yard right now (plus all the squirrels he can chase or bark at) 😆.”
“We just moved to the area so finding a new sitter for our dog was very important. I’m so happy we found Meri! Meri was very responsive and did a great job caring for our dog, Nina. We left Nina for three nights and we received photos/updates daily. Nina seemed very happy and loved the extra attention she received from Meri and her family. Thank you so much for taking care of our baby! We will definitely be using Meri again.”
“Nicole was great with my dog! She took plenty of time to ask thoughtful questions about her habits and behaviors, and took care of her accordingly. She was very prepared and had contingency plans in case our dogs didn’t get along (but they did!) and sent photos and videos throughout the weekend.”
“Yvonne did an excellent job taking care of Roxie. She was a great communicator and sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the day. I felt really comfortable leaving Roxie with Yvonne since I knew she was in good hands. I can tell she is a true animal lover. I highly recommend Yvonne and would use her again in the future.”
“Wendy is our go-to every time when Leo needs to be taken care of. She’s responsive and trustworthy. Leo was happy and taken good care of every single time! Thank you Wendy!”
About: We are a family of four (kids are 12 and 15), plus Nash our 6 year old Australian Shepard who loves walks and snuggles. Before Nash (and even before kids!), we had Riley, our sweet black lab who left us too soon. Over the years, we have fostered dogs, cared for our friends' dogs, given millions of belly rubs and logged many miles of dog walks around our lovely neighborhood. We'll provide a caring and friendly environment, a fenced in backyard and a built-in furry playmate! I have an irregular schedule, but work from home >50% of the time. Both kids loves dogs and can also help in the afternoons and on weekends. We'll provide pics of your pup playing and on walks. Your pup will have a fenced-in yard and run of the house to play and rest. We will follow whatever schedule they are used to, can have them play with our dog or provide separation if you prefer. While the kids may help, all pup care will be done 100% by me.
“Cindy was great with Murphy. Friendly, easy to communicate, We appreciate her flexibility, prompt and clear communication, and her overall attentiveness to our dog. We could not be more pleased with her work and would be happy to recommend her services to our family and friends.”
“Bianca is fabulous. She is kind, loving, competent, caring. She was attentive to my tiny, anxious, elderly dog's needs. Bianca adjusted and adapted what I'd shared with her so that it worked in her home, e.g., my dog wouldn't eat with the same set-up as I use so Bianca tried out different ways until my dog finally ate. I was curious to see how Bianca's cat would be with my dog. At the meet & greet they calmly sized each other up. During the stay Bianca shared a lovely photo of my dog snuggled on her sofa with her cat on the armrest. Nice, mellow companions. I was thoroughly comfortable leaving my dog in Bianca's care and will absolutely do so again when I go out of town and can't bring my dog with me.”
“Tanya and her whole family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pippa! She felt right at home from the moment she arrived, and they provided the best care possible. We loved receiving the photo updates Tanya sent—it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Pippa was while we were away. Thank you, Tanya, for creating such a kind and loving environment for our pup. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Pippa was safe, happy, and so well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Masha and her family were awesome! We have a dog that is reactive to other dogs and requires medication. We really appreciate the care and attention they gave our dog. We got updates and pictures letting us know all is well with him and that was very reassuring. We would definitely love to leave him with Masha and her family again.”
“Lilly took wonderful care of Charlotte, during her first night away from me since her adoption. She sent frequent updates as well as photos, putting my mind at ease, sharing information on how Charlotte did from the drop-off until the pick-up. I strongly recommend Lilly.”
“Yumin was great with our senior dog…honey loved her dog coco…she sent lots of pictures and updates…we felt comfortable and happy that honey was enjoying herself while we were away…we will definitely use her again!❤️”
Rockville pet parents share their Rover experiences
I am very picky leaving my 12 year old grandpup anywhere. He needs a little extra care since he’s older, is going blind and has bad separation anxiety. George went out of his way and was informing me the entires time what my pup was up too was sending multiple pics daily which helped me feel so secure on his stay there. I thanked him for always responding so fast and just making me feel like my doggie was in good hands. When I picked him up he was a happy boy wagging his tail and I could tell he was well treated, unlike other places I have left him. I highly recommend George and his services he did amazing w my señior pup. Most definitely will be booking him again for my upcoming trip!
Outstanding communication. Received regular photos and updates. They even went above and beyond to pick up prescription meds when our Hugo got sick. Very warm and caring. We felt very safe leaving our dog with Kasey. Thank you so much for all your help and great care
Shoham was wonderful with our pup! She sent us updates every day (often more than once a day), and we loved getting the pics and videos. Our pup had a fantastic stay, and it was clear she treats the dogs she cares for as part of her family. We felt at ease that our pup was in such good hands and would definitely recommend her!
Bianca was a wonderful sitter. I knew the moment I met her that my pooch was in good hands which put me at ease. My dog takes time to warm up to people but he was well acquainted with Bianca so quickly. She provided frequent updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her in photos. When I picked my dog up he was crying when she left and was searching for her. I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet.
Theresa did a great job watching Frida for the night, and I highly recommend her. Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated her responsiveness and genuine interest in making sure my dog felt comfortable in her home. Frida was well cared for, and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands.
This was the best way I could of handled my cats. We were moving to an area 90 minutes away from our existing home & we didn't want cats to get out or become anxious with the move out & move in. I found Chao who is just 10 minutes from new home. He partner Wayne is great caring for our cats too. The room they were in was very cat friendly with perches & hiding places. There were several litter boxes as cats can be picky. I felt like they really understood our cats behavior as our cars were born feral and are very standoffish. I could not of been more please with their care. I would use them again if the need arises.
Carlos and Travis took amazing care of Majesty while I traveled. They were responsive, sent pictures and updates, and made me feel completely comfortable while I was away. Everything there is incredibly organized, and it’s clear they genuinely care. I highly recommend them. Thank you both for taking such great care of my girl!
We had a super positive experience and felt very comfortable leaving our dog Minnie with Emily. She sent lots of great pictures, kept us updated, and our dog looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the whole time. She even taught Minnie a new trick! We would definitely book again!
