She is THE BEST dog sitter! We take our pup Walter to her and her fiancé every weekday and I always feel at ease that he is getting the best possible care. I get picture and text updates throughout the day and beyond that, Chloe goes the extra mile. She contacted me immediately when Walter was peeing more frequently than usual and even took a sample for me to take to the vet when I picked him up, and offered to give him a medical trim to help when he goes to the bathroom. These guys are amazing.

So glad to have found the Rover option for daycare for Daisy! It was like a home away from home and she didn't have to be alone. Jerin sent pics of Daisy with her dog and reported the two were getting along great. Daisy came home happy and VERY tired, so I know she must have had a good time! Thanks Jerin!

Ellen is great! She has a big heart and is an animal person through and through. We started out with a few boarding visits and now go to Ellen for day care every week. She’s very easy to work with and has a great location for dogs to run around/play/hike. Thanks Ellen!

About: I have over 45 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages as well as many other types of animals that have honored me with living with me over the years (cats, horses, gecko, Madagascar hissing cockroach, parrots, flying squirrel, rabbits). My original dream was to become a vet so I have a background interning with veterinarian, working multiple years in a grooming and boarding facility and had my own very successful animal care and sitting business as a teenager. I have great nail trimming skills as well! Animals are naturally drawn to me and sense my love and respect for them. I work remotely so am pretty flexible with schedules. I also have taken the pet CPR course! I work remotely from home so am flexible in what I can offer. I feed my own pets multiple times a day and am able to monitor what is consumed. I also live in a beautiful community near parks for nice walks. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs who live next door who are always interested in playdates if desired. I work remotely so have flexibility in what I can offer clients. I do have a crate on premises if you do not have although I prefer (as do pets) for them to have their familiar one! There are friendly cats who live with me although I would likely gate off my kitchen / sunroom area where my office is so that I can supervise and ensure harmony with unknown pet if in my home.

Darshini & Joseph are amazing!!!! They took care of our dog as if he was their own. My dog recently lost two of his brothers and has been sad. After spending 3 days with them and their dogs & cats, our dog is much happier and playful. They kept us up to date on a daily with messages and pictures. Their home is beautiful and incredibly neighborhood. We highly recommend them for your pets’ daily care. Thank you for taking great care of Rocko. We will definitely leave our dog with them again.

Rebecca's has been wonderful with our Baby Girl. I have never left Baby Girl with anyone due to her high level of separation anxiety but we are in Maryland for my husband's 50th High School Reunion so we didn't have a choice. I'm so glad that I chose Rebecca because she has been amazing. Baby Girl has had a good time at her house and went with Rebecca willingly Friday (her first day in doggy day care) which I knew Baby Girl sensed that Rebecca loved dogs and that she was safe with her sitter. Thank you Rebecca for putting us at ease and knowing that our fur baby is in good hands! I would highly recommend Rebecca and if the opportunity arises to book with Rebecca again we definitely will!

Vanessa and Bruce watched Ozzie for a day yesterday. We had a very bad experience with a day care (not thru Rover) where we left him there twice, and twice he got sick for days. When we got home last night, he was tired which is good. Vanessa was very patient and understanding of our possible plan changes. Love them and their fur babies, who are friendly and well behaved.

Our puppy loves spending time with Ben and Alexa! Their farm is perfect for allowing her to run out energy and get used to a variety of animals - horses, chickens, etc. Honestly, we're jealous of the time she gets to spend there! Ben and Alexa clearly love her as much as we do, and treat her like family. They send lots of photos so I always know what she's up to. She comes home completely exhausted :) We'll absolutely continue to book stays with them and highly recommend them for anyone else looking for wonderful, caring sitters!

We are new with Renee, Kuro has been consistently going in for day care for the past 3 weeks and I must say he has a blast. He is happy to go there, gets to play with other pups. Renee is patient and very attentive. She accommodates requests and also goes that extra mile to care for our pup. Thank you Renee.

I needed a place to take my three little dogs during my open houses. I found Robin on Rover and am so happy I did! She and her two boys hosted my dogs so well. It was the best play date for them! They loved them like they were their own. I wish I had found Robin and her boys sooner!
