“Felice T is REALLY ?? awesomeness! I was VERY skeptical about leaving my Tedii with anyone. She is extremely shy and very attached to me as she was a full pandemic puppy with no socialization. I have to say that although Felice was very nice on our first meet and greet, I was still not sure. Her reviews were very positive and promising. However, I was thinking to myself, well my dog is different! (????♀️). I am here to tell you the reviews ARE TRUE!!!”

“Samantha is truly a gem and cared for my dog like her own. She sent regular pics and videos. My dog felt at ease for 5 days with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her!!”

“Rodney was very communicative throughout the entire process from the meet and greet and throughout the entire stay. Oaklee was very well taken care of and we couldn’t be more happy with them. We will 100% bring Oaklee back!”

“Kaylynn was great! I was a little nervous before I left my dog because I had never used someone I didn’t know before, but Kaylynn quickly put my mind at ease. She texted me often with updates, sent lots of videos and responded to my messages quickly. I won’t hesitate to use her again”


“James and Mary were awesome with Nuka! They very conscientiously followed the special diet the vet put him on. They were also excellent with communication and shared videos and pictures of my pup throughout his stay. I am so grateful to this lovely couple for looking after my buddy and hope he can stay with them again in the future!”

“Lydia was fantastic! She welcomed her home to us with her lovely family including her chickens during our meet and greet. We proceeded to boarding 2 nights with her. Her home provided a warm, cozy and energetic vibe for our Poodle who is out going and craves human interaction. Lydia was not familiar with poodle grooming initially but after a quick demonstration and positive feedback she mastered it in no time. I appreciated her attention to detail, ability to communicate throughout the day and her willingness to learn how to care for specific dog breeds. It was a mutual rewarding experience and she even supervised her children doing obedience training with our pup.”

“Liz and Jeff C provided outstanding and caring support and boarding for my senior Samoyed Sooki. There is not enough space here to describe everything they did to support Sooki and our family. Sooki has substantial and sometimes unpredictable health challenges. Liz, Jeff , and their sons provided EVERYTHING Sooki needed and more.”

“This was our pet’s second stay with Susan and he got so excited in the car as if he knew where he was! He walked in and immediately ran to Susan to say hello and started making himself at home by emptying the toy basket. He enjoyed plenty of walks outside and we could tell he was def comfortable and had a nice time!”

“Our "teenager" Irish (1 yr old standard poodle) is an energy dynamo. Lora was his match with her loving attention and patience in the ideal environment she offers for the care of her guests. Her regular reports with photos and videos showed us Irish in play heaven with her, her husband, and the other guest dogs. He had a blast! And then after, thoroughly played out, Lora showed him to us in content in the place he chose to rest and sleep. We were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries and Irish certainly enjoyed his! And, there's no doubt, Lora enjoys being the host.”

“Evan and his wife stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Kobi for the weekend - and not only did they agree, but they were so enthusiastic it felt like I was doing them a favor and not the other way around! Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”

“Natalia is awesome.. she send me updates throughout the day with pictures. I think my poodle enjoyed his time with Natalia more than me during my vacation. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Stephanie was amazing and super easy to work with. I ended up having to move our meet and greet a couple of times because Marshall got that doggy virus and she coordinated with me to keep moving the date until Marshall was healthy enough to make it. I loved the video and photos she and Taylor sent.”

“Sonia is very communicative and sent lots of photos- I was confident that my cat was happy and well taken care of during my trip. I know my cat will love to go back to Sonia’s next time I travel!”

“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”

“Brittanie, Ryan and their family were absolutely amazing sitters for our Milo! He loved getting to play with their dogs and kids. They sent pictures throughout his stay and updates on him. We were really reassured. We can tell Milo would love to come back!”

“Ginnie took excellent care of Koda during his 5 night stay! She sent a lot of great updates and pictures during our trip to let us know how he was doing. It seemed he had a blast playing with all the other dogs! He felt right at home and it was nice knowing we didn’t need to worry about anything while on vacation. Highly recommend letting Ginnie look after your pet and we will definitely be using her services again!”
“Lingli did an amazing job. She provided pictures every day and I could tell my cat really got comfortable with her by the end of the stay. Will definitely be using her in the future!”

Sykesville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our dog is usually very shy but she loves Michelle and her mom. She almost didn’t want to leave after staying with them a few days. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust to watch her while we are away. And we also love the pictures and videos she sends of her during our trip!

We had our rambunctious pups boarded for 5 days with Veronica and family. We will 100% book with them again and I highly recommend them! They communicate very well, send updates and are easy going and patient with them. Definitely a home away from home for our pups!
