“Barb was fantastic! We chose her because of her experience with dogs of all ages, especially older pups. Although our pup was a bit nervous, she seemed to settle in well and made herself at home. Really appreciated the updates and pics to let us know all was good.”
“We were extremely nervous with having our dog stay with strangers but meeting Jill and Thomas quickly changed our hesitation. As soon as you meet then you can tell they are dog lovers. We recieved photos all weekend and our dog was having a great time. We will definitely be returning as a client.”
“Olive recently spent 8 nights with Jen. Jen was wonderful. I received 3-4 texts a day with lots of photos. Olive went on 2 or more long walk each day, got lots of love and plenty of belly rubs. Jen and her husband treated her as their own and she fit right in!”
“Cynthia was great with my 1 1/2 year old Sheltie. She allowed us to meet her and her pup a couple of weeks before our vacation, to make sure we all were comfortable with each other. Drop off day was hard for us since our Sheltie is only 1.5 year’s old and a rescue, we didn’t want to stress her out too much. Cynthia has lots of experience with rescues and was quick to pick up on her needs. During the vacation she sent us many videos and pictures, which helped a great deal. On pick up day she sent us home with homemade treats, bully stick, and a freshly laundered dog bed. I will definitely use Rover and Cynthia again!!!!”
“Rackeem was the best! From his knowledge and expertise in handling dogs to his professionalism and consistent photos/updates. Thank you so much for watching my baby for the weekend. I will definitely be booking with you again. Marley seemed to really love his stay and made a new friend!”
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“This was our second time booking with Andrea and she continues to be amazing! She took great care of our golden retriever, Bumi, even after he ended up needing stitches the week before our trip and had to wear a cone during his stay. She was super accommodating and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. We got tons of updates and videos, and it was clear he was in great hands.”
“Chelsea is wonderful. She really took great care of my dog. From the video she sent me, I can see that my dog loves her. I will book her again next time. Happy New Year!”
“Claudia took such amazing care of my dog! She shared lots of photos and detailed updates every day, so I always knew how he was doing. She not only took him out for walks but also played with him at home and even let him snuggle with her at night. My pup absolutely adored her — when it was time to leave, he even sat on the lawn refusing to go, with watery eyes. It’s clear he felt very loved and happy with Claudia. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 💛🐾”
“Justin & Stephanie were great. We asked for a last minute booking and they immediately said yes. Many pictures were sent and even a video. Our chocolate lab had a great time!”
“First time boarding our dog Nova and Nikkita and her beautiful family took excellent care of Nova and we will definitely request that Nova return with this family again!”
“Lindsey did a fantastic job caring for our 6 month old pup. She communicated a minimum of 2x per day and always provided pictures with each communication. We will definitely be using Lindsey again in the future.”
“Our pup loves staying with Jenny! She always comes home happy and tired from all the fun, and we really appreciate the daily updates. Jenny is professional, flexible with timing, and so kind with our pup. We’ll definitely keep booking with her she’s the perfect fit for our senior pup !”
“They took great care of our goldendoodle. I forgot to bring additional food for his stay and they took care of it. We needed an extra day of care and that was taken care of as well. Look forward to using again soon.”
“Couldn’t have had a better experience. Such a sweet, gracious lady. Sent pictures and communicated daily. Loved on my babies, not just “dogs sat.” Even allowed me to pick them up LATE as my flight was delayed! I have my new local “Rover-ine!””

“Lorena was excellent. I had to unexpectedly depart within hours for a funeral. She immediately accepted and was there to help accommodate. My Sophia has also has a specific feeding regimen, yet Lorena had zero issues. She provided pics videos and summaries of their hangouts which gave me COMPLETE peace of mind and smiles during a very hard time. 100% recommend & I Will absolutely use her again.”
“Chelsea is the best! She has cared for our cat on 2 occasions now. The first time for a few days and just finished 10 days while we were out of the country. Great communication and a true love for the animals she cares for not just the necessities but also love and pets while we were away. She will be as first choice always !”

“Tracie took care of our two elderly cats while we were away for the week. She went above and beyond to set our minds at ease...meeting them ahead of time, taking copious notes, and sending us photos/updates. I knew they were in good hands which freed us up to truly relax while away. Tracie even offered to take in our mail and water the plants. A professional through and through. I would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Tracie!!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our kittens! Our family so loved all of the photos and updates each day--we appreciate all that you did to take care of the girls. Will definitely be in touch again for future stays!”
“Breanna took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. She gave great updates and sent lots of photos. She gave them lots of love and pets for us. We will definitely have her back!”
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and have spent most of my adult life volunteering for 2 animal rescue organizations. I fostered over 170 cats for my last organization (that was over a period of 15 years!) caring for all ages as well as taking in some with medical needs. I'm skilled at administering medications of all sorts and we currently have an asthmatic cat that takes an inhaler. I've been a "cat person" my whole life, but love dogs too! My husband and I love the large breeds, in particular Mastiffs. We currently have 3 cats plus a Mastiff who is the biggest baby. :-) We recently moved to Delaware (from just outside of DC) and I'm looking to re-start pet sitting as I LOVE meeting new furbabies and taking care of them. I used to pet sit in VA but put it to the side when fostering took up most of my free time. I recently took an early retirement and have plenty of free time so can offer flexibility. Since I'm married my husband helps takes care of our own cats/dog, and he understands my love of animals and desire to help others. I understand that every cat/dog is unique, with their own personality and needs. I will take the time to get to know each one and tailor my approach to ensure their comfort level,
“Jenna did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. They're usually scared of strangers but seemed to warm up to her pretty fast and I really appreciated not only getting pictures from each visit but some notes on what happened during her visit which no cat sitter has done for me before. I'm definitely going to contact Jenna for any future trips”
“Rebecca is a great petsitter! She’s responsive, communicative, thoughtful, and very engaged. Our cats loved her (and one of them is a hard nut to crack) and we felt really comfortable having her care for them while we were traveling. Heartily recommend Rebecca!”
“Rebecca took great care of our dog. She was very dependable and on time even in poor weather conditions. Our dog was very comfortable with her. We would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Mike did a great job for us. We were away for an extended vacation. He kept us well informed about our cats but also things at our home. A neighbor left mail on our porch and an outdoor ornament blew off our house. He notified us on both issues. The ornaments were brought in and he checked our community mailbox to confirm our mail was being held by USPS. During our vacation we received a boil water notice; We informed Mike and he brought bottled water for our pets. It’s the second time we used him and I’m sure we will be using his services again.”

“Liza had a great time with Jen!! Jen is really caring and was really attentive to put Liza at ease, not always a simple task as Liza has separation anxiety. Jen was very responsive, took a bunch of pictures, and sent me lots of updates. I really appreciated it and highly recommend her!”
About: I own It takes a village animal rescue, though I am taking a 2 year break, I have had 451 dogs come through my rescue in the last 10 years.

Pet care has been a way of life for me for the last 10 years, I own an animal rescue, but am taking a 2 year hiatus, but miss haveing dogs around all day.

I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to roam. I also have Mr Donovan, 110 pound hound mix that lost his 2 playmates in the last 2 months, so he would love having anotherfriend to hang/ play with.

“Mutig was so happy when we picked him up! I have been nervous about where to leave him during a vacation we have coming up, but I was put at ease after this stay. She sent so many happy pictures of Mutig and Quincy playing and sent me updates of how he was doing. Yvonne and her husband were very caring.

“Courtney is the best! She was available to walk my dog last minute and even stopped by for a meet and greet. Great communication. She took him to the park, which he loves. I felt like he was in good hands especially with her background as a vet tech. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from small pets to large dogs and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up helping friends and neighbors with their pets, which gave me a solid foundation in handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. Now, I have a 1.5 year old Lab named Knox who’s full of energy and love. He keeps me active, patience’s, and always on my toes! I also have a 9 year old cat named Levi, who brings a calm, loving balance to our home. Because of them, I understand how important it is to trust someone who will treat your pet like family Whether your dog needs a long walk, some playtime, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were mine. Let me know what your pet needs. I’m happy to accommodate special routines or preferences! I’m a full-time nursing student with plenty of free time during the day, so I’m great for helping out while you’re at work. I know how important it is for pets to get attention and exercise in the middle of those long days. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, or just some company to keep your animals happy and relaxed on your busy days. I have empathy for those who having to leave their animals so safety is a top priority for me when pet sitting. I will always use a leash when on walks and at home if there is no fenced in yard available. Also would like to know if the pet has any special instructions and their likes/ dislikes.

“Lashae was the best Rover experience we have had. She was amazing with our dogs and our neighbors (who had tons of positive comments). The best part of working with Lashae was the improvement in our dogs’ health! They have more energy and walk farther!! Lashae is the best! Can’t wait to work with her again!”
About: 🛑 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING🛑: I own 2 cats. Even though my Cats have their own room your dogs must be ok with or have been around cats and knows basic commands. If your dog is medium or large size you MUST bring a cage. I will only use the cage for when I'm at work and I need to let the cats out their room. But when i'm home the dogs have free range even on my bed 😂 Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.
About: I am currently unemployed and will be spending my time with the animals i love looking after. I also do thrift as another side hustle. I’m free Sundays through Saturday’s! I can do overnight stays or i can just pop in and play and feed the animals if that’s what you need me to do! My husband and i have a medium/longhaired black cat! she is my little cuddle bug. we are always playing with feather toys, balls with bells and lots of cuddles. My cat is an indoor cat, so i keep her busy and loved, so i would hope to do the same when cat sitting yours as well!

“We were extremely nervous with having our dog stay with strangers but meeting Jill and Thomas quickly changed our hesitation. As soon as you meet then you can tell they are dog lovers. We recieved photos all weekend and our dog was having a great time. We will definitely be returning as a client.”
“Olive recently spent 8 nights with Jen. Jen was wonderful. I received 3-4 texts a day with lots of photos. Olive went on 2 or more long walk each day, got lots of love and plenty of belly rubs. Jen and her husband treated her as their own and she fit right in!”
“Cynthia was great with my 1 1/2 year old Sheltie. She allowed us to meet her and her pup a couple of weeks before our vacation, to make sure we all were comfortable with each other. Drop off day was hard for us since our Sheltie is only 1.5 year’s old and a rescue, we didn’t want to stress her out too much. Cynthia has lots of experience with rescues and was quick to pick up on her needs. During the vacation she sent us many videos and pictures, which helped a great deal. On pick up day she sent us home with homemade treats, bully stick, and a freshly laundered dog bed. I will definitely use Rover and Cynthia again!!!!”
“Rackeem was the best! From his knowledge and expertise in handling dogs to his professionalism and consistent photos/updates. Thank you so much for watching my baby for the weekend. I will definitely be booking with you again. Marley seemed to really love his stay and made a new friend!”
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“This was our second time booking with Andrea and she continues to be amazing! She took great care of our golden retriever, Bumi, even after he ended up needing stitches the week before our trip and had to wear a cone during his stay. She was super accommodating and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. We got tons of updates and videos, and it was clear he was in great hands.”
“Justin & Stephanie were great. We asked for a last minute booking and they immediately said yes. Many pictures were sent and even a video. Our chocolate lab had a great time!”
“Our pup loves staying with Jenny! She always comes home happy and tired from all the fun, and we really appreciate the daily updates. Jenny is professional, flexible with timing, and so kind with our pup. We’ll definitely keep booking with her she’s the perfect fit for our senior pup !”
“They took great care of our goldendoodle. I forgot to bring additional food for his stay and they took care of it. We needed an extra day of care and that was taken care of as well. Look forward to using again soon.”
“After having a trial overnight at Andres’ home, I knew my two small dogs would have a home away from home! Being away for 12 days was tough, but Andres texted photos of them enjoying themselves. I will use Andres’ again, no question!”
“Totiyana provided such a loving experience for our fur baby, Emmie. She is not used to being around other dogs especially big dogs but Totiyana help her get comfy and before you knew it Emmie was settled. We appreciate Totiyana’s flexibility and being able to take our last minute request! Such a blessing! We appreciate her care so much we booked two weekends in a row! Looking forward for future bookings for boarding our needs.”
“Yvonne was so nice and pleasant to work with. I do not like boarding or leaving my pup behind when I have to travel, but she made it a lot easier. She is honest and responsive and only wants the best for your fur friend. I hope to book with her in the future. Thank you so much Yvonne.”
“Elizabeth was great! She sent plenty of updates during our dog’s stay, which was greatly appreciated and followed all instructions when it came to him. She was also super sweet and her family was just as sweet, we felt very comfortable leaving Meechie with her.”
“Mike was great Ryder seemed like he enjoyed his stay, thank you Mike for the updates throughout our trip! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to make sure there puppers gets to someone who cares, and treats theirs like his own.”
“Karen took wonderful care of our precious baby, Bella. She sent us great pictures of her having fun with other pets. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again. Thanks again, Karen!!”
