“Molly! I cannot thank you enough! 🥰 We have two (sometimes) stubborn Corgis and a cat, who Molly was able to drop in to care for ( in 30 min intervals / 3x a day, for 4 days ) while we were away! She went above and beyond and even started to become accustomed to *their* routine a few days in! I loved the prompt check-in notifications and enjoyed waiting for the Rover Card to see their faces/read updates! Molly takes cute pictures and cares greatly for your animals with ease! Oh and she will even keep your packages safe! 10/10 recommend!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and look after their pets. While doing this on a part time basis, Pet care is a regular part of my routine—I plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m flexible and make sure each pet gets the care and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment—whether in my home or yours. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like medications. I keep pets comfortable, engaged, and stress-free, and I always send updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for. I have a fenced in yard and one small dog that can be a companion for your dog or respecting each other space. I have no issue using a crate if preferred.


“We have a 4 month old Golden Retriever puppy and a 5 year old Lab. The dogs loved Mariah! She did a fantastic job taking care of the puppy and being very respectful of our house. The dogs seemed happy and refreshed. I would recommend Mariah to anyone!”


About: I’ve always been an animal lover, but life circumstances haven’t allowed me to have a pet of my own for awhile—so I put all that love, attention, and care into yours. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks, or just keeping your pet’s routine steady while you’re away, I treat every furry friend like family. I am looking to fill some of my time loving on your pet. I have always loved dogs and I miss having them in my home. Flexible hours for availability. I also walk a lot and would love to have a companion! Sounds like a win win! I am looking for opportunities to care for pets outside of my home. Due to family allergies I am unable to own a pet so I am looking to love on yours.

“Sophia is a punctual, attentive, and gentle pet-sitter. I appreciate that she spent extra time with Sporty and made sure she got plenty of exercise and stimulation. I would highly recommend Sophia and I will certainly be using her again in the future.”


About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats as a pet sitter in other people's homes. I attended vet tech school before switching to human healthcare. I have befriended extremely shy pets with love and patience. I have even raised my own 20-year-old cat from a 3-week-old kitten. I am currently between jobs, as I just moved back to Maryland and I am finding my place in the healthcare industry again. All the more time to spend with your furbabies! I am currently available any time of the day or night to take care of both dogs and cats. I will happily come over to feed your cat or dog, and take your dog out to potty, play with them, or even things like provide comfort if they get upset during fireworks or a thunderstorm. I am always sure to leave the home exactly as I find it (unless the pets need cleaning up after, of course!). I always double check that doors are locked, and will send you updates as frequently as you'd like.

“Trevor was absolutely wonderful! He put so much care into updating us and sending us photos! He made our cat very comfortable and was sure to play with her lots. He allowed us to enjoy our vacation without being anxious about her. Would absolutely have Trevor do drop in visit again!”


About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats before. I also have plenty experience taking care of bigger animals as I used to be a working student at the barn I boarded my horses at from when I was 10-15. I’ve been trusted by many friends and family to take care of their furry friends including but not limited to horses, bunnies, fish, dogs, and cats. I have experience with grooming dogs as well due to having a golden doodle of my own. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! I currently work a Part-time job that schedules me 2-3 times a week so I have a lot of availability to make house visits or spend the day as much as you would need me to! I also love to go on walks and take hikes so if I am looking after an Active dog it is no problem! If your dog likes to play with other dogs I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs of mine who are very friendly. I am very neat and organized so the chance of your animal eating something or getting into something they’re not supposed to is very slim.

About: I've been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my neighborhood since I was 14. Whether you're friends, family, or friends of family, I always strive to give your pet the love and attention that I give my own fur babies. I am currently working full time, but am trying to transition to remote work to allow more flexibility with pet sitting. My evenings after 5:30pm and my weekends are completely open to any sort of pet sitting or dog walking need. I prefer to stay in the client's home in order to keep your pet as close to their regular schedule as possible. Of course, if that doesn't work then I can bring your pet to my house where they will be walked and played with the same way that I spoil my own dog.

“Mina was caring and attentive to Otto, making us feel comfortable being away. She sent pictures of Otto from her visits. She did everything we requested to care for our cat and our house in our absence. I would feel completely comfortable hiring her again during our travel!”


About: I grew up and have taken care of dogs ever since I was about 8 years old. Throughout the years, I've had the chance to care of different breeds/mixed breed dogs. I'm currently working from home which gives me good flexibility in playing and waking your pups. I'll focus on listening to your needs and ensure that you are informed of any adjustments, send pictures, or whatever else your pet's needs may be. I live in a neighborhood that provides a dog park as well as plenty of areas for taking your dog for a walk. I value trust and will focus on the details each dog owner provides to ensure a more personalized experience.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all different sizes and personalities for 6 years. My friends and family all turn to me when they need help with their pets! I have experience administering medication and learning how your dog likes to play! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for your fur-babies! As long as you can work with me, I can go above and beyond to ensure your pets and your family are happy! I live in an apartment with my two 1-year-old cats who love all other animals and people! I have a fenced-in dog park in my complex. I love being outside and walking with any and all animals! I am comfortable with any fashion of pet-care so long as I am provided with specific instructions on how YOU care for your buddies. I like to maintain expectation and stability with the pets!

About: With several years of experience in pet care, I've had the pleasure of working with a variety of breeds and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I understand the unique needs of each pet and tailor my care accordingly. My hands-on experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medication, and providing lots of love and attention. Ensuring the well-being and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority 🤗 Balancing pet care with my daily routine is a breeze because I prioritize my furry clients' needs. I schedule walks and visits around my flexible work hours, ensuring each pet gets the attention and exercise they deserve. Whether it's early morning strolls or evening playtime, I make sure to integrate pet care seamlessly into my day! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet care provider, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring their safety and happiness with every walk and visit. Your furry family member will always be in caring and trustworthy hands with me 🐾

“Next time I go away, I will definitely be using Elizabeth again as my pet sitter if shes available and I love the fact she is close by. She is super nice and very accommodating to any reasonable requests I had. I told her she probably would not see the cat because he is a lil shy around new people but was super excited to see pictures of him coming out and saying Hi! Next time I will have to leave out a can of wet food she can give him. Im just like anybody else by only wanting the *very best* for my fur kids and I feel if I would have dropped Winnie the Boxer off at a kennel, he would have been very stressed out! From looking at the other pictures, it looks like Winnie the Boxer was having fun as well by playing with his ball and munchin on some treats.”


About: I have had dogs all of my life and plan to work with them in my future career. From Dachshunds and Poodles to Labs, Newfies and Bullmastiffs, I have extensive experience caring for both my own and others pets. I absolutely love animals and cannot wait to meet your fur baby! I'm currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for your fur baby! I'm available everyday and only work 4-9pm when scheduled. I will always ensure that your home and pet are secure at all times as well as following any and all instructions left for me. I want to make sure that both you and your pet are as happy as possible! I know how difficult and stressful it can be to leave your fur baby so I want to make sure you know that you can trust me to take care of them like my own (although they may be a little spoiled 😂)!

“It’s so nice to know Tara is keeping an eye on everything when we travel. She gives us a friendly report each day and lets us know if she sees anything that needs our attention. It puts my mind at ease knowing she’s there.”


About: When I’m with your pet, they will be treated as my own family. Unconditional love and affection always. I love animals and love connecting with them. I’m currently in school and have my own apartment off campus. I am only outside of my apartment maximum 2/3 hours a day for classes. I will not be leaving my home much especially because I cook when hungry instead of buy food. Your pet will have a friend to connect with. You will not have to worry about if your pet is lonely or not being taken on a walk. I have no pets in this property so yours will be most taken care of. I have furniture accessible to your pets(couch). I will care for pets in your home or my home in any ethical way which fits your needs.

Stephanie S.
“I’ll start by saying that my dog Buddy can be a bit “needy.” He’s 11 years old, has arthritis, and deals with some gastrointestinal issues—so I’m always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. Stephanie was fantastic. She took detailed notes about his medications and care needs, and she was incredibly responsive throughout the four days she had him. I felt reassured the whole time knowing he was in such capable hands. Her place is also a great setup for dogs. She has a fenced-in yard and lives near a large dog park and open green space—perfect for longer walks, especially for more active dogs. I’d definitely have her watch Buddy again. Highly recommend!”

Dawn F.
“Dawn is wonderful with my special needs dog. She is very patient and loving with him and she is happy to spend time just hanging out with him until he is comfortable. She plays frisbees with him endlessly and makes sure he gets all of his favorite snacks. She is the perfect companion for him when I can't be there. Thanks Dawn!”

Christine R.
“I have known Chris for more than 20 years. She is an extremely responsible, intelligent, and compassionate person. All of my pets have always loved her--even ones that were usually too shy or skittish to allow anyone else near them. I consider my pets to be my children (in lieu of actual kids), and I trust Chris with their care with zero hesitation. Anyone who hires Chris for pet care would easily see not only how seriously she takes any job, but also how genuinely she loves all animals and gives them the best possible care.”

“Alicia is one of the most caring and trustworthy people I know. She loves animals and has lots of experience watching all sorts of pet. She has watched my two young dogs many times and sent daily updates as well as kept the house clean. She is very attentive and had no issues whatsoever. I would trust her with any pet!”

“Walter is a patient and loving person. He has cared for my dog on several occasions. He takes him on very long walks, sends pictures to ease my nerves and gives a full report of potty habits. He has been a life saver on many occasions when I needed someone short notice as well. I 100% recommended Walter to any pet parents looking for a reliable pet sitter who will make your fur baby comfortable while you’re away.”

Sherwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashleigh is amazing. My dog, Maple loved her! She was timely and communicated with me at every visit. She sent tons of pics which I loved because, of course, I missed my pup. I absolutely recommend Ashleigh, she was fantastic with my dog and was available last minute for drop ins.

Maya was great with our dogs! She was prompt, reliable, and always showed up right when she was supposed to. She took the time to sit with them, comfort them, and made sure they felt safe and loved while we were away. They loved her. We’ll definitely use her again!
