“Marianne was absolutely amazing! She cared for my very old pup, Papa (16 years young), while I was out of town for 2 days, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough. We first connected through Rover a few months ago, but that trip ended up falling through. This time, I had a short trip and decided to finally give Rover a try—and I’m so glad I did! Marianne was right on time, spent so much quality time with Papa, and sent me plenty of pictures that kept me at ease while I was away. She was gentle, patient, and truly attentive to his needs. On top of all that, her prices are beyond reasonable. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and trustworthy to care for your furry family member—look no further. Marianne is amazing!”
“Estefania was wonderful!!! She has the greatest sweet energy. Our Dogs were so happy to see her. I will refer her to others looking for a sitter in the area.”
“Bianca did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 year old Australian Shephard, Sedona. She was punctual, caring, and great at communicating with us. We will have no problem leaving her in her care again in the future. Thank you Bianca!”
“I recently moved and needed to find a new pet sitter I could rely upon. After reading her reviews, I chose Dawn and was not disappointed! She provided detailed updates and pictures with every visit. Most importantly, she was extremely patient with my fickle kitty. Being away from my guy is hard enough but it felt easier knowing he was in good hands with Dawn!”
“Robin did a fantastic job! She kept our cats happy and well cared for while we were away. She's reliable, responsive, and stays connected with lots of updates, which gave us real peace of mind. On top of that, she went above and beyond by helping with a leaking A/C issue—something we truly appreciated. Highly recommend Robin for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Genesis was so great! She was very detailed and sent a lot of pictures. She kept us updated. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone in need.”
“Sabina loved Nicole from the meet and greet! I got lots of pictures from the drop-ins and Nicole was super communicative. I also really appreciated her making sure everything was clean before I got home!”
“Alyssa did a fantastic job looking after our two cats! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were especially impressed that she won over our fickle ex-stray, who is usually very aloof and spends her time outdoors. It was clear our cats were comfortable and well cared for, and we’d be happy to have Alyssa watch them again!”
“Gary is a reliable and and trustworthy person! He took care of our 4-month-old kitten for a week, regularly sending me photos and detailed daily updates that provided me with peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend him!”
“Tom was always punctual and took care of our diabetic kitty so well — it’s hard to find folks comfortable administrating insulin injections to unfamiliar pets, so Tom was a great sitter in that regard.”
“Agustina did a great job taking care of my cats while we were away. She provides prompt responses and detailed updates after each visit. We already have her booked again.”
“Krystal did a wonderful job taking care of my two babies. She did two visits a day to my home to feed walk and take care of my babies. I got home last night and they were both happy and healthy and very well taken care of.”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I understand that every pup has their own personality, energy level, and routine. I take the time to get to know each dog, so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, punctual, and attentive - whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship, I make sure every visit is tailored to your dog’s needs. My goal is simple: to treat your dog like part of my own family, giving them the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I work 8–5, but evenings, weekends, and overnight stays are all about your pets! Walks, playtime, meals, and cuddles - I give them love and attention like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I care for pets in their own home by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in the environment they know best. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and provide plenty of attention, cuddles, and reassurance. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and well-cared for while you’re away.
“Vadim is absolutely amazing with our dog! He’s attentive, caring a really makes Perla happy. Every time we go out of town, we feel completely confident leaving our dog in his care. It’s such a relief knowing our furry family member is in such good hands. Highly recommend Vadim to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter”
About: I have taken care of animals all of my life and can care for your dog. I listen to their needs and give them loving care! I am currently not working so I have alot of time. I will give your pets extra care without watching the clock. I enjoy getting outside and interacting with animals. I have a fenced yard and am close to parks for walking! Lots of space for your pet to feel at home and relax whether inside or outside.
“Kayla was outstanding with my two girls. She asked all the right questions and was patient and caring with my stubborn little meatballs. Will definitely contract again.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and is something I just love. Whenever I go to see a friend who owns a dog, I spend more time with the dog often times! I don’t have any of my own at the moment since my partner has allergies, but being there to dog sit will allow me to spread that love and care with them. I have watched many of my friends dogs overnight or just for the day due to my hybrid schedule - which is wonderful! I work a hybrid role - so I might be able to offer walks during the day on some days of the week. But weekends work best for me to stay over and dog sit (for those traveling or don’t want their dog in someone else’s home). This will help build trust and love with the little ones, while keeping them in the comfort of their own home. I always want to ask, what are the do’s and dont’s since every dog is different. I want to make sure they are able to relax and enjoy the company as much as I would. If I’m able to stay at the sitters home, I will routinely send updates or photos (as desired) and give them peace of mind to know that they’re little ones are safe with me. I absolutely adore dogs and I want to make them as loved as they deserve. If I take them for walks, recap anything that they did to report back to the owner as well.
About: I have taken care of my own animals my whole life along with some on the side recruits from family and friends to watch their pets while they were out of town or at work. Experience bathing, feeding, walking, and playing with Flexible schedule that allows me to spend ample time with each pet I care for. I always allow enough time to give the same high level of quality care to each pet to ensure pet and owner satisfaction. 6 ft tall metal fence in backyard. There are other dogs but they are the neighbors dogs on each other side of fence. Water bowls and crate if need be
South Middle River pet parents share their Rover experiences
Having a 16 year old blind and deaf dog we are reluctant to go away at all! Having a three week trip planned made us very nervous! Finding Robin has been a blessing. She provided such TLC that Oscar didn’t miss a beat!! Robin goes above and beyond and gives her heart to her four legged buddies! Thank you Robin!!
Joshua took such great care of my dog while I was gone. My dog was always excited to see him during his drop-in visits. He is very attentive and always maintained great communication with me. He made sure my dog’s needs were met each visit. I would definitely recommend Joshua and I would definitely book with him again!
Hailey was absolutely amazing! I hired her to watch my two cats while I was away on a long trip, and she did such a wonderful job. She checked in every day, kept me updated, and made sure my fur babies were happy and cared for. I came home to two very content cats and a spotless space. I’ll definitely be hiring Hailey again for future trips. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Daniela did a wonderful job checking on my two cats while I was away for a week. She followed every instruction to the letter, and was wonderfully sweet with both of my kitties (who have two very different personalities). I'll definitely contacting Daniela the next time I need someone to pet-sit.
Alyssa did a fantastic job looking after our two cats! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We were especially impressed that she won over our fickle ex-stray, who is usually very aloof and spends her time outdoors. It was clear our cats were comfortable and well cared for, and we’d be happy to have Alyssa watch them again!
Isabel took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, always on time, and clearly experienced with animals. Our cats were relaxed and happy when we returned. That’s a true sign they were in good hands. Communication was great throughout, and she even sent us updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Fantastic job, Isabel!
Marcella is absolutely amazing! She is caring, dependable, and truly goes above and beyond when it comes to looking after pets. She treats them as if they were her own, giving them love, attention, and making sure all their needs are met. It’s clear how much passion she has for animals, and that gives me complete peace of mind whenever I’m away. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter—Marcella is a gem, and I feel so lucky to have found her!
Emily was truly amazing with my boys, Kody and Pax. The peace of mind she gave me while I was away was priceless, and her communication couldn’t have been better. My dogs are a bit older and not always the easiest, but she showed them so much patience and love. She even took time out of her own work schedule to make sure they were cared for, which meant the world to me. I would recommend her a thousand times over, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you Emily
Karen was always punctual and kept in communication with me answering my questions. She did everything she could to ensure Nina my cat was well taken care of. She is professional and friendly, and I will be calling on her again the next time I go out of town. Everything was perfect and I can't thank her enough!
