Where do I start!? This was our first time going away and having to leave our Megan! She’s an elder fur baby and we couldn’t think of anyone who would properly take care of her. We turned to rover and it may sound strange but when I saw Barbra picture I knew she would be perfect! She sent pictures, and updates constantly! Our Megan looked so happy and taken care of! I am so pleased with her service and I will definitely be using Barbra in the future! Thanks a MILLION Barbra we appreciate you more than you know!

Emily was awesome!!! I couldn’t have felt more comfortable and relaxed leaving my dog, Kobe, in her care! Kobe spent a week with Emily while my family vacationed in Florida, she updated me every day with pictures/videos and a quick synopsis of how Kobe’s day/night was! Kobe couldn’t have looked any happier running like a wild man in her large fenced in back yard, or on his daily walk! I truly am thankful I found Emily and will definitely use her again in the future!!! Thank you so much Emily!!!

Kari, Joseph, and their kids were phenomenal with our last-minute booking of our boxer, Peanut! Their home is beautiful and spacious in a lovely neighborhood. They’re communicative, provided a crate (which made our lives so much easier). They were flexible when we were a few minutes late to pickup and were totally understanding. We’ll absolutely book with them again!

I would highly recommend Jen! I have basically never left my dog at home alone. I chose to have Jen watch him since I didn’t want to leave my dog for the first time at home for 8 hours or more. I had a good feeling about her. She was on time, ready, and happy to take my dog. In talking to Jen I could tell that she has experience with dogs and that she loves them! She reassured me when I left him with her and let me know what she had planned. Jen took pictures during their walk and at the park. She sent me pictures throughout the afternoon and evening. My dog was happy and not anxious at all. When I came to pick him up she was already downstairs with my dog and his things in hand. He was very happy. I will definitely book Jen again next time I’m in the D.C. area!

Our dog Cooper seemed so happy during his overnight boarding. He normally doesn’t eat at first when being boarded but he was enjoying a treat and eating his breakfast within moments of being dropped off. We received thoughtful updates and photos and Cooper was relaxed, comfortable and had settled in so quickly. Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!

They kept us updated with regular pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. They were also very flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times, making everything so convenient. We are definitely boarding Cucu with them again! We’re so grateful for the wonderful care they provided, and we couldn’t recommend them more.

Yvonne helped us out in a pinch to find a pet sitter last minute. We are so thankful she was so flexible and took great care of our pup. Our dog Sadie loves making new friends so she was very excited to stay at a house with another dog. Sadie loved playing with Yvonne’s dog Quincy and Yvonne kept us updated with lots of photos throughout the day so we could see how she was doing. We highly recommend - our dog had a great time and Yvonne is a wonderful sitter!

I dropped my five-year-old dog off on a Thursday morning and came home on Saturday to pick her up. You could tell she was well cared for from the moment I saw her. Justin and Stephanie sent pictures the entire time and I could tell she was enjoying herself inside and outside. She had space of her own or she could play with all the other dogs that they took very good care of. I will definitely be using Justin and Stephanie again and I would suggest that you do too!

About: I am a proud cat lady and cat mommy. With two of my own cats and experience loving and caring for many others, your feline fur babies are safe with me. I understand the importance of honoring a cat’s personal space and preferences, and I know that every cat is unique. It is my mission to ensure every cat I interact with is comfortable and confident in knowing that they are safe around me. I have experience with all cat personality types. Having cats of my own, cat safety is engrained in my practice. I am consistently hyper aware of open doors, cat proofing spaces, litter box cleaning, etc. I am also well versed in navigating pet dynamics in homes with both cats and dogs. Lastly, I am very educated and experienced with noticing cat behaviors, body language, and vocal communication; which helps me evaluate a cat’s mood or needs at any given time.

About: Hi! I'm Jordan, a lifelong animal lover with a special appreciation for cats and their unique personalities. I understand that every cat is different—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and routine. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Whether that means feeding, litter box maintenance, play sessions, administering basic care, or simply providing company, I'll treat your cat with patience, kindness, and respect. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in good hands.

I left so many instructions for Hannah that I really appreciate her following to a T. I'm sure my cats enjoyed having her watch them and spend time with them especially over the holiday I can't thank her enough. Not a big enough deal to not warrant five stars, I just didn't receive any pictures for when she dropped in. But she updated me on how they were doing when she was at the house. Thank you Hannah!

Abigail and her husband Daniel provided my dog Peace with a safe and comfortable place to rest and recover after his oral surgery. I felt reassured and gained complete peace of mind while I attended appointments throughout the day that I could not miss. I feel completely comfortable to reach out to Abigail again if I need more support for Peace. Grateful for their care of him.

About: We got our first pup in 2011. All 3 dogs we’ve owned have been since they were puppies. We’ve taken care of pups who require shots and pills. We treat pups in our house like family members. My husband and I have off weekends. My husband works from home so dogs get let out frequently. I’m a high school teacher so I also have summers off. We’re happy to follow your routines so they feel at home. I have 2 friendly dogs who love kids & pups. We just ask that your pup is friendly with kids and dogs, and is comfortable being crated for short periods of time, if needed.

Sureya connected with my dog immediately. She got down to his stature level and rubbed and hugged him, at that point I knew he was in good hands. Sureya took my dog Corbin without a two hour notice and I was so thankful especially being away from home. Sureya took great care of Corbin and I will definitely use her again when near the area.

About: I have over 20 years of experience in animal care from horses to dogs to cats. I have taken care of animals that need special medical care for weeks at a time. I've had friends, family and co-workers sit their pets for overnight stays in the comfort of my home. I also will go to your home to check on animals, administer medication or simply take them for a walk or play some fetch! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to take your pup for a walk, stop in for a check in or even take your dog for an extended period of time. I'm available during the week and the weekends. I have a big fenced in back yard and a 2 year old Giant Schnauzer for your pup to play with. If your dog is older and more laid back, they can also enjoy the nice fluffy beds inside and some one-on-one time to suit their needs. I also have crates to suit all sizes of dogs. I do have 2 cats so if your dog doesn't like cats, please let me know so i can keep them separated.

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. I can help with house training, and basic puppy skills. I have probably had about 100 plus puppies in the last 10 years. I have a facebook account for the rescue and you can see all that My Volunteers and I have done over the years. Dogs must be neutered or spayed. Pet care has been a way of life for me for the last 13 years, I own an animal rescue but am taking a 2 year hiatus, but miss having dogs around all day. I am home 90% of the time, so I am there to let dogs out who might not be potty trained or sometimes we just lay on the couch watching TV and getting rubbed. 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 another friend to hang/ play with.

About: Over the past several months, I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions. Every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience administering medications to senior dogs and understand the importance of following care instructions carefully and consistently. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. When I house sit, I also take great pride in caring for your home. I always aim to leave it cleaner than I found it, so you can come home to happy pets and a tidy, well-cared-for space. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing both your furry family members and your home are in caring, reliable hands. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week as well as house sit for as long as you need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.

About: I grew up on retired farm land, so I gained lots of experience raising and training several dog breeds, all sizes and ages. We rescued and fostered several dogs, cats, and rabbits over the years. As an adult I started fostering dogs and rabbits myself. Until recently, I was fostering primarily dogs. I have 2 shepheards and 2 pitbulls permanently placed in my home, as well as a dwarf rabbit. 2 of my dogs are trained and registered as service animals. I have a very adaptable home with lots of indoor/outdoor play space, as well as space to be separated as needed. I are very particular about keeping our food and water bowls clean with washing every day. I am happy to love you fur babies! There is rarely ever a time my pets are home alone. They all free roam and coexist peacfully, so I have a very calm house usually. We have a go out/walking schedule we follow to ensure proper exercise, as well as a secure feeding routine. My fiancé works full time, so I am the full time caretaker of the animals. Stranger pets in my home are introduced calmly and carefully, as to maintain a safe environment for all. Higher energy dogs meet my shepheards first, calmer animals meet my old boy first. My animals stay leashed infront of guests until a calmness has been reached. I have separate feeding bowls for all animals, water is communal as to resist territorial behavior. If calmness can not be reached, I have space to separate any unrully animals as needed. As a stranger in another animals home, I aproach very calmly and happily to respect their space. I am very adaptable to understanding and applying a feeding/walking schedule. Play time is always important, and my favorite part of the day! Lots of play time and pets are given to fur babies.

About: About Me: I am a teacher, pet mom (to both dogs & cats!), and lover of all animals. I lead my life with empathy, which makes me an extremely patient and effective pet care provider. It is my mission to treat your babies with the same amount of love, respect, and compassion that I would hope somebody would give to my own. I believe that behavior management, if necessary, should always be rooted in consistency and positive redirections. My Experience: Beyond being a cat and dog mom, I have years of experience with long term cat and dog sitting. I am experienced and comfortable with any age of pet, from puppies/kittens to senior animals. I have some basic experience with training from my own pets. My Schedule: Until my summer ends, I am available almost daily. Once school starts, I am available on weekends and week day evenings. During these times, I can do check ins, feedings, walks, play times, or overnights. I am comfortable with week day overnights, if your pet is able to be alone during my typical 8 hour work day.

I care for and approach all animals as gently and lovingly as I do for my own. I am comfortable with many styles of pet care including crating, walking, outdoor and indoor play, anxiety management, and more. As a mom of an anxious rescue pup, I understand the importance of providing an animal a safe space. I make it my mission to help all pets feel comfortable and confident around me. I mold to your pet’s needs and personality, rather than making them bend to my own.

About: I have 6 years of experience taking care of 4 cats and my dog!! I can feed, give water, take walks, scoop boxes, and entertain with toys. I am also excellent with anxious pets and those who need a little extra care and love. I have a gentle voice and will always try to be aware of your pets' comfort level before approaching. I am currently in college, so I go to class various times during the week! Because of this, I may need to adjust arrival times depending on my class schedule and what days you need me for. This also means that I am good for vacations and other short-term jobs. I will work hard to provide a safe environment for all animals in accordance with guidelines set by my clients. For dogs, I prefer a fenced in yard, but will consider leashed walks depending on the size of your dog.

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, including dogs, cats, and horses, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attentive care, whether that meant daily feeding routines, grooming, exercise, or recognizing subtle signs that an animal might be stressed or unwell. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, temperaments, and activity levels, and I approach every animal with kindness, reliability, and respect. My lifelong hands-on experience allows me to provide safe, loving, and attentive care, so pet parents can feel confident their pets are in capable and compassionate hands. I am currently in nursing school and work part time at two different jobs. Some weeks my school schedule changes so I might have more flexibility! I have a fenced in yard that I use for my dog. I am also able to crate animals as needed and will supervise all interactions.

About: I've had my own dogs and a cat my whole life. Additionally I got my first horse at 12 and have been around large and unique animals forever (even pet deer and alpacas!) From my baby Miniature Pinscher to my Great Dane I am capable of providing individualized care. I am currently a student athlete at DSU. I ride on the equestrian team so after my one in person class I am typically in and out of the barn with lots of time to spare as everything else I do for school is online. Pet care fits into my routine as a priority. I recently moved to Dover for school, and miss my dog terribly. Prioritizing your dogs in my schedule is not just a job for me, but a source of happiness! We have a large backyard for fetch and a safe neighborhood for walks and adventures! One block over we have a small park area as well. We have no other animals in the house, just four college girls who are all missing our companions from home. In the house your dog can roam freely about and sleep in my room/bed with me, whatever they are comfortable with.

I am more than willing to go to anyone’s house to pet/house sit or even just go to let them out or play/ feed them. I am willing to stay overnight for owner weekend trips if needed.

About: Growing up, my family has always had pets whether they were dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, hermit crabs or fish. This inspired me to receive my Associates degree in Veterinary Technology in 2024 at Del Tech then sit for and pass the VTNE to become an LVT (Licensed Veterinary Technician). I love animals dearly and would be happy to care for your pets during the day when their beloved ones are away from the house. I will care for your pet(s) as if they were my own! Whether we go for a walk together, run around the yard, give them a quick meal or just provide general companionship, I look forward to meeting your furbabies! I do have a full time job as a veterinary technician which leaves me unavailable every Monday and Friday but I do have availability other days of the week so be sure to send in a request so I can review it! I aim to be transparent and flexible with all customers about my availability. While at your home, I will watch your pets carefully to assure they are being safe while getting to spend time outside or just receiving some companionship. I will be sure to fill all food and water bowls (if applicable) before I leave to ensure your pets have access to basic needs.

About: Hi! We are Hannah and Bierina. In order to provide the most flexible care possible, we work together to care for your fur babies. Quality care for animals is our forever top priority. Between us, we have trained puppies, had many senior dogs and dogs with special needs. (Epilepsy, etc.) Our biggest goal is to work with you to hear what works for your pet on the daily and find a way to recreate that in the new environment or match that in theirs! This way your fur babies know that they are safe, and the change of carer and environment creates the least amount of stress possible. I currently create my own schedule so I am able to facilitate flexibility around your pets and their established routines. I will work with you to make it as seamless as possible. I care for pets by ensuring I am communicating with their parents about their daily schedules and expectations; trying to replicate those typically ensures pets feel the most comfortable with consistency!

I would highly recommend Jen! I have basically never left my dog at home alone. I chose to have Jen watch him since I didn’t want to leave my dog for the first time at home for 8 hours or more. I had a good feeling about her. She was on time, ready, and happy to take my dog. In talking to Jen I could tell that she has experience with dogs and that she loves them! She reassured me when I left him with her and let me know what she had planned. Jen took pictures during their walk and at the park. She sent me pictures throughout the afternoon and evening. My dog was happy and not anxious at all. When I came to pick him up she was already downstairs with my dog and his things in hand. He was very happy. I will definitely book Jen again next time I’m in the D.C. area!

Jilesa was a wonderful sitter for our dog, Ollie! She was easy to keep in touch with and sent us adorable photos of our dog meeting the farm animals. I would happily use her again anytime we are in the area and recommend her highly!

Our dog Cooper seemed so happy during his overnight boarding. He normally doesn’t eat at first when being boarded but he was enjoying a treat and eating his breakfast within moments of being dropped off. We received thoughtful updates and photos and Cooper was relaxed, comfortable and had settled in so quickly. Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!

Jill and Thomas were absolutely amazing with our dog, Cucu! They are such kind and incredible people who genuinely care for their furry guests. They kept us updated with regular pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. They were also very flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times, making everything so convenient. We are definitely boarding Cucu with them again! We’re so grateful for the wonderful care they provided, and we couldn’t recommend them more.

Yvonne helped us out in a pinch to find a pet sitter last minute. We are so thankful she was so flexible and took great care of our pup. Our dog Sadie loves making new friends so she was very excited to stay at a house with another dog. Sadie loved playing with Yvonne’s dog Quincy and Yvonne kept us updated with lots of photos throughout the day so we could see how she was doing. We highly recommend - our dog had a great time and Yvonne is a wonderful sitter!

I dropped my five-year-old dog off on a Thursday morning and came home on Saturday to pick her up. You could tell she was well cared for from the moment I saw her. Justin and Stephanie sent pictures the entire time and I could tell she was enjoying herself inside and outside. She had space of her own or she could play with all the other dogs that they took very good care of. I will definitely be using Justin and Stephanie again and I would suggest that you do too!

Brittany took great care of Chewy during our vacation! He looked happy in each picture she sent while we were away. He even took his 1st swim! She has a wonderful yard to explore and I can tell her family loves animals. I looked forward to her pictures and updates daily. So glad I found her at the last minute and we will absolutely use her services again! Thanks again Brittany!

Ollie felt right at home. I loved the large fenced yard for off-leash exercise and that I got lots of picture updates. He enjoyed the extra company from other pups and children too. Thank you!!

We were thoroughly impressed with this stay for our puppy Tessa. 1st time for our puppy she seemed happy. This was also her 1st time around other dogs as well. Rackeem was very attentive and she seemed comfortable from the door. He sent us videos and pictures and this help me through the time away. I will definitely use Him again very professional.

You just can’t get someone more kind, caring and perfect for your dog. Cindy was so good with our dogs Apollo and Jupiter. So many years of rescuing and working with dogs. Her knowledge about their needs and behaviors is priceless. She made them and us feel so comfortable. Thank you Cindy.

About: We have been a dog family for the past 11.5 years! We love our dogs so much! We have an 11 year old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix and a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. They are sweet and fun and love other dogs! We have 4 kiddos as well who love caring for the dogs including our 12 and 11 year old girls who love taking the dogs for walks! We are a homeschooling family so we are home most of the time and don't kennel our dogs at all while we are home! We have a huge fenced-in backyard that the dogs love to roam and run around in! Playing fetch in the back yard is a highlight in our home!

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!

Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!
