“Sylvia was great with Tazzy. She was very thorough on our initial meet and great, and had her notes ready when we brought Tazzy for her weekend getaway. We felt very comfortable leaving her in good hands.”
“Kelly was wonderful and sent pictures throughout the day. We so appreciate her diligence in helping us with our dogs. One of our dogs requires daily medicine and an ointment. Kelly didn’t seem to have an issue with it and took wonderful care.”
“Jill T. is a wonderful sitter for our Pomeranian Lily. I never worry when Lily is with her! I would recommend her to any of my friends and family if they were in need of a dog sitter.”
“Jacqueline and her son took great care of our dog Ace. He had so much fun and was wore out last night after we picked him up. Jacqueline was quick to respond and kept us updated all weekend with pics of Ace having fun with his buddy Nutella. Would highly recommend Jacqueline!”
“Samantha took great care of my two labradoodles . She sent pictures of them everyday which I loved. I could tell they were having a blast playing with her dogs. Huge fenced in area for playtime”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Lexi :) The pictures each day were appreciated and we had no worries going away. We will be using you again soon. Thanks again!”
“Mickey was a very gracious and thoughtful host for our year and a half old wire hair fox terrier. Mickey dealt with a small injury to Gracie‘s paw that occurred just before we dropped her off, keeping her front paw bandaged many times as Gracie decided she did not want to wear it. She also took Gracie for 2 1/2 mile walks, which is exactly what that breed needs. We absolutely recommend Mickey.”
“Mary Sue cared for my dog for a week and it was a great experience all around! She was prompt to answer messages and sent updates and/or photos every day of their activities. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone who was not an immediate family member. Mary Sue video chatted with me before confirming the booking and she eased all of my worries. My dog came home exhausted from all of the fun they had - it was a great fit and I would highly recommend Mary Sue!”
“Jessica was great. She responded very quickly on very short notice. Felt very good dropping Leif off and Leif looked great picking him up. I would use this boarder again in the future.”
“Margit and Bill welcomed Callie with open arms and were absolutely wonderful with her for her very first visit. They sent many pictures and were highly communicative which was so reassuring. They went above and beyond to make sure Callie's needs were met and make her feel very comfortable throughout her stay. We highly recommend Margit and Bill and will most definitely reach out again knowing Callie is in the very best hands.”
“We moved to the area recently and searched for a new pet sitter. My husband and I could not be anymore happier with the care Karen and Sean provided to our Molly! Our Molly felt right at home on her first stay. Karen and Sean took Molly on walks and gave her plenty of playtime. Definitely will be using Karen again in the future ❤️”
“Megan W and her family were fantastic! Not only was she a delight to communicate with, my dog clearly loved her and her home, The pictures she sent of my furbaby showed him undeniably smiling ear to ear. She is a little bit off the beaten path which is exactly why I chose her as we were on our way to Rehoboth. It was an easy and short detour to drop our little buddy off on our way. Her place has plenty of shade, fencing, and other pups for my dog to enjoy. I will definitely be rebooking with Megan W in the future!”
“Bob and Susan took great care of our dog Bear while we vacationed nearby for the week. They sent daily pictures and updates, and we always felt that Bear was in good hands having a great time. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Great sitter! Jeanne (BJ) & her husband Jay were very accommodating and communicative, making for a super easy stay for our Kojak for several nights. He loved their fenced in backyard! They were sure to send regular updates and photos and videos which were much appreciated! Would definitely recommend and will be booking again next time we need a sitter! :-)”

“Malia did a great job taking care of our 3 cats. We had some obnoxiously complicated instructions because one of the kitties has some special needs. I so appreciate the extra effort and great communication. Thanks so much, Malia!”
“Kelly is nothing short of fantastic. Being a first time Rover user, and never even previously leaving a pet outside the care of a trusted immediate family member, I was a bit nervous. Kelly took extra time to provide an overview of what the process looks like, expectations, and plenty of reassurance. During my time away, Kelly lovingly cared for my shy little furball, sharing photos and text updates -- it was almost like I was there myself. She was respectful of my home and property, leaving everything in the same or better condition than how it was initially left. Kelly was so attentive and gentle that Luna (who hides from everyone!) actually showed interest in sharing play time. I look forward to working with Kelly much more in the coming years. I wholeheartedly recommend”
“Samantha was great. Came by early in the morning each day for a week to check in on our cat. Sent texts and photos each day. Would definitely use her again. Thanks Samantha.”
“Lucia is obviously an animal lover. She visited Mac a few times before we left so he would get to know her. He’s very shy but eventually came out and sat on the couch, a big step for him. My home was in perfect condition when we returned. My mind was at ease the whole time we were away.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and currently have three dogs of my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I treat every dog as if they were part of my family. I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease. I currently work rotating shifts, but I will work with you the best I can. I also dont mind last minute scheduling if needed . At this time, I'm not sure I would do pet sitting in my own home. I am willing to do whatever is needed for your pet in your home.
About: I’ve taken care of basically any type of dog in my decade of taking care pets. Patience is key when meeting new pets to give them time to trust I live and work at a campground, taking care of pets is one of my duties and since I have a house on the property with a fenced in backyard, the dogs are easily able to run free in the yard with no worries of escape. I will make sure all your pets needs are met. No matter how untrusting they may be, with my patience and care your pet will feel loved for
“Carlie took great care of my dogs while I was out of town for a wedding. She arrived on time, even stayed a little longer than the 30 minutes, and had great communication throughout. Very happy and would definitely use her again!”
About: I understand that cats need patience, consistency, and respect for their space. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats attention on their terms. I focus on keeping their routine calm and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Thank you Jacob for taking such good care of Tank. It’s the first time we’ve needed someone to care for tank while we were out so long. If I need the service again. I will absolutely book with you.”
“Steve provides my cats with loving care while I am away. I have one cat who is difficult and can be unfriendly and he has won her over! He sends pictures of her sitting on his lap! He is always prompt and thoroughly cleans the litter box. I love the photo updates he sends while visiting with the cats - I can tell that they are well-cared for. He truly loves animals - it is very obvious from the care and attention they receive.”
“Amber is amazing, she took care of our cat for over a week and she went beyond our expectations letting her on the patio and taking the time with her, she even water the plants and checked our mail!!!!! We are grateful that we have Amber every time we have to travel”
About: Hello everyone! I have previously worked for a vet hospital for 2 years and have been doing Rover since 2019. While your pet is in my care I always watch their body language, eating habits, and anything out of the ordinary I will let you know. I am comfortable doing any medication and give supplements that are provided if any. Your pet will have a fun time and we will play with their favorite toys. I will always want to make your pet feel comfortable around me and will try to stay in routine while your away. I am so excited to see new dog friends and looking forward to meet the parents! I cannot wait to build new relationships with everyone. Thank you for taking a look at my profile. See you soon! I am currently working full time and would be taken care of before and after work depending on their feeding schedule. I have a dog door installed so there’s always the option for going outside at any point in time. When I’m not at work we play and snuggle especially at bed time. I have a fenced in yard with a super friendly golden retriever. The house has someone home especially on the weekends. My family and I love all animals so it’s a real treat when there’s a new dog.
“Jennifer was great! She took care of my cat for a few days, making daily visits. She is very friendly and owns many of her own pets. I would recommend Jennifer and hope to use her again.”
“Kasey was absolutely wonderful with our cats! This was a follow-up booking and once again she exceeded our expectations. She’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about our pets. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean, well-kept home. It’s such a relief knowing we can travel and fully trust that our cats are in great hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Kasey again - highly recommend!”
About: We have two dogs that are well loved and I know that your dogs are part of your family as well. Pets deserve to have the best care that is more than meeting basic needs. Your furry friend should feel safe, be cared for and enjoy playful interactions while you’re away on business or vacation. I will be attentive to their cues, will spend time playing and making sure their well being is top priority. Most importantly, I will follow your instructions to make sure that I provide seamless care for your pet that meets your needs and follows your household and pet’s routine uninterrupted. I have just graduated college so I am available immediately. I’d love to help in anyway I can. Please contact me if you have any questions! I can visit your home multiple times per day, or I can come and spend time at your home so your pups can be fed, walked and played with. Please contact me if you have any special requests!
About: I fostered cats and kittens for about 10 years. Very experienced on how to take care of them and how cats behave. I have had A cat in my home since I was born and I am not afraid of a cat that may be a little feisty.

“Samantha is absolutely wonderful!!! She watched our dog at her home for an entire day and he was able to play in her nicely fenced yard. He was able to play with her dogs, which he does not get to do as we live in an HOA. I plan on using Samantha in the future when we need someone to care for our dog. I highly recommend her!!!”
“Jacqueline and William were great! We made a last minute reservation and they accommodated our drop off and pickup times which needed to be flexible since we were going kayaking and uncertain how long it would take. Will definitely use them again the next time we are Trap Pond.”
“Great communication! Clean and appropriate environment. Despite Axe's terrible anxiety, he loved Cory and never fussed one bit. We will definitely be using Cory's daycare again!”
“Margit and Bill are very kind and our dog immediately felt comfortable at their home. They have 3 very sweet dogs and I was worried that our dog would be aggressive or difficult with theirs, but because her dogs were so chill, our dog was actually fine! Would definitely use their services again.”
“Neena responded right away and was available and gracious in regard to my last minute request! Neena was great at communicating and Daisy was happy and well cared for upon pick up! Would definitely book here again!”
“Bella loved her stay and playing with John' pup Maddie. John was awesome! Bella took right to him and he was very attentive to Bella's needs. Bella is older and suffers from kidney disease but that did not deter John. I definitely recommend John and will be using his services in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. But I’ve cared for my dog Tickle for 12 years now. I trained him as a puppy and care for him in his old age. I can do it all!! I’ve also cared for cats and fostered cats. I can administer medication, give baths, clean litter boxes, go for walks, and more! I am currently out of work and so I’m pretty available through out the week. I babysit sometimes but it’s usually once a week and very random. I am very careful with animals!! I know taking care of my older dog I take it very serious about what he eats. I know different animals have different rules. Also.. ANIMALS NEED LOVE!! I can give them love so they don’t feel lovely, take them for walks, give them treats and food, and anything else that is needed.
“I cannot say enough great things about Michele! She has given me my life back! I have two little rescues that are highly reactive and do not like anyone, so consequently I have been unable to leave them. After talking with Michele and getting a sense of her experience and patience with rescue.dogs such as mine I decided to give her a try...and it went beautifully! My dogs had a great time with her and loved her...and cannot wait to go back again! Michele is truly not just very much a professional but is gifted with animals as well.”
“So glad to have found Christina to take care of our dog Lucky during our recent trip to the beach. She's warm and friendly and took care of Lucky as if he were her own. She communicated promptly and clearly. She was so flexible with our vacation schedule and sent us adorable pictures of Lucky throughout the day. I'd definitely rebook with Christina, no question.”
“Extremely calm and knowledgeable. Knew exactly how to introduce our Boston Terrier to her own dogs. Everything went smoothly. Her home was immaculate and organized. She sent pictures frequently. Our dog looked extremely relaxed and happy in her home. She came home exhausted from playing in their large fenced in yard. I felt very safe, leaving our precious pup with Meghan.”
“I’m so thankful to have found Joanna! She was so kind and accommodating to our schedule, and gave our dog so much love and care. She even walked him just before I picked him up and made sure he was completely ready to go. Would definitely go out of my way to have Tico stay with her again, thank you Joanna!”
“Daniela is a marvelous Rover and Jacob was very happy during both his stays. If we ever return to the area we would gladly work with Daniela again. Thanks so much for taking great care of our dog!”
“Jessica is amazing with Fur babies. Very accommodating and professional. My Tug love going there. Its always a great day whenever he spends his day with her. Her dog Tashi is very good with other dogs. Tug's favorite retreat is his stay at Jessica's. Highly recommended 👌”
About: ❗️❗️🙂 CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS🙂❗️❗️ I've been working for Rover since 2017, and I can truly say that I adore this job! I mainly specialize in working with dogs and cats, however I am willing to work with different kinds of animals if needed. I'm also a Washington DC native, who has recently moved to Salisbury, Maryland 💛🖤❤️🤍 ⚠️❗️❗️UPDATE AS OF APRIL 2024❗️❗️⚠️: If you are new client and need someone for a extended stay Home Sitting, the longest I will be willing to stay is 3 to 5 days. Once you are a repeat client, I am then more comfortable staying for longer periods of time if needed. Pets will stay on routine by following whatever schedule the owner has set up. If it means getting up early to take a walk, that's what will happen. If I means getting out later in the afternoon for a walk, tha will be fine too. Pet care fits into my routine by me having a very opened schedule. I just moved to Easton, MD, so right now I'm looking to build a new client base here. While watching your pets in your home, I will always make sure I keep a watchful eye over them. I typically like to stay in an area that is open enough where I can see everything, but closed enough where the animal won't be out of site.
