1. Katherine G.


“Katherine is wonderful! Herman and Lucas are shy guys and they love when Katherine comes to stay! What a load off my heart and mind to have her in our home!!!”


2. Brenda D.

“Brenda stayed with our golden retriever and Gemma enjoyed her being there. Gemma is a stubborn dog and can be challenging and Brenda did not give up on her and went out of her way to keep her challenged and occupied. I would highly recommend Brenda to anyone that needs an in-house dog sitter!”


3. Mary C.

“Mary has watched Bella for us twice now with additional weeks booked! She is absolutely wonderful with her and I am updated daily (multiple times a day!) about how she is doing! She treats her like one of her own and makes it much easier to leave Bella! I would highly recommend Mary!!”


4. Matthew P.

“This is our first time using Rover and Matthew P. He was great- kept us updated on the dogs and the house, sent pictures too. He was very respectful of our home and took great care of our dogs. We will definitely be using him again.”


5. Jaden W.

“Jaden was wonderful! Attentive and responsive. Bella was excellent cared for she went above and beyond!!”


6. April D.


“I am so glad that I found April a week before my husband & I vacationed in Punta Cana D.R, She was quickly responsive and took such good care of my 3 boys ages 7,4 & 2. She made me feel so comfortable knowing my boys would be taken care of. I also loved that her husband joined her so it was double the love & interaction with my boys. They were so friendly and understanding when we met and throughout this process we became friends. I would definitely recommend April if you want excellent care for your animals and have peace in mind with the quality of care your animals will receive!”


7. Halee v.

“I was super nervous about using this service as it was our first time using. Halee was great, she house sat and was at our house when she said she was going to be. Our dog and cats were well taken care of. My cats aren’t usually fond of strangers and they even liked her. She kept in communication with me while gone and my house was the same as when I left it. I would use her again and highly recommend her!”


8. Evangeline N.

“Grateful to have your help!”


9. Kaila M.

“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”


10. Elizabeth L.

“Elizabeth did great job watching dogs for me while I was away all day. They seemed very happy and content when I got home. Will definitely schedule with her again know the future”


11. Lacey B.

“Lacy did an excellent job of caring for our two dogs while we were away on Christmas day. Came for a meet and greet prior to booking and all went well. One of our dogs is not super friendly and can be difficult at times. Stacy seemed to get along well with both. Will definitely use her again”


12. Chelsea S.


“Another successful Pet Visit by Ms. Chelsea! I am so relieved that she is here to help me with my Pets. Thank you Rover and Chelsea for helping me with the 4! Happy New Year!”


13. Destiny C.

“Destiny is a must have as a caretaker of your pups. She is super sweet, very dependable, Arlow and Zoey adore her and she accommodates my fluctuating and sporadic schedule any time I need her. I have booked her for several stays and she is my regular sitter. I highly recommend Destiny to care for your pets.”


14. Lauren L.

“Lauren was friendly and even came a little early! I left for work knowing Diego was a happy pup in good hands. He greeted her with lots of kisses and even took the initiative to find out where cleaning supplies were after I mentioned Diego happy pees and cleaned up after him without needing to be asked. We will definitely be repeat customers! Thanks Lauren :)”


15. Jenna S.


“We booked Jenna to do a house sitting for our pets and I couldn't be happier with the care Jenna provided for all my pets- and for us. Jenna was professional, reliable, and clearly comfortable with animals. She kept me updated with daily messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind I needed while I was away. My pets were happy, fed, and received plenty of potty breaks and attention. I highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I will definitely book with Jenna again when I am in need!”


16. Mckayla C.
About: i’ve taken care of dogs all around my neighborhood and worked at the humane society for a couple months. It’s always been my dream to only work with animals. We also have a ton around the house including cats, dogs, rats, snakes, etc. Iove any and all animals!! I’m currently actively only doing side hustles as i recently quit my job. I want to do something more fun and enjoyable while also building relationships with other animal lovers!! We have many pets in my home including dogs, a cat, and even rats lol. The more variety, the better. I dedicate most of my days to my animals and their care.


17. LilliAna S.
About: I have always been a go-to person when it comes to watching dogs. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life, taking care of them. I have trained all 4 of my dogs myself as well. I also have pet sit for friends and family! I have just graduated high school and currently working part time while also starting real estate. I have plenty of free time and mostly an open schedule for your convenience! My own animals have a full backyard they love to play in they love to have their indoor time as well playing with as many toys as they can! I constantly take my dogs on walks in the mornings and evenings to ensure they are getting all their needs met


18. Laurie G.

“Laurie was great with my dogs and cat for the weekend. She sent many pictures that I loved seeing while away from my fur babies. On time and very respectful of my house. I came home to no messes and happy pets”


19. Joseline G.
“Took great care of my two cats and large breed dog while I was out of town. Sent me updates and photos of her as well to ease my mind while being away from her.”


20. Rachel T.
About: I give all animals the care and attention they need with a loving heart and fun aunt vibes. Just like most pets I love the balance of outdoor adventures as well as cuddles on the couch. Trust me with their care so you can enjoy your own adventures! I work a M-F job in Hagerstown, but leaving in the middle of the day isn’t an option. Happy to do evening walks or overnights in Hagerstown or Frederick. Pets are less anxious in the safe environment they’re used to when you’re away. That’s why I would rather visit them there. I treat all animals with respect and the tender loving care a mother would give.
