“This was our 2nd time in 2 weeks using Jennifer to watch our 2 small dogs. Im not sure our dogs were ready to leave when we picked them up!! It's obvious that Jennifer & her husband love dogs, plus they have a fenced yard. We won't take our dogs anywhere else!!”
“I always trust my baby with Jessica. He loves her so much, he didn’t want to leave this time, that’s how I know he’s well taken care of. I never worry when I drop him off.”
“Just picked my dog up and I truly enjoyed the photos that were sent to me. My little Zoey is fine. I am truly grateful she got to socialize with other dogs and was loved. I would recommend Marquia and her family. Thanks for taking care of my little Zoey.”
“Jessica was fabulous! She treated our Balto like one of her boys. We got a ton of pictures and updates, it eased our nerves leaving him with someone knowing he was so well taken care of.”
“We appreciate Jill and Aaron so much! They were so cooperative with us when our scheduling was all out of whack. Such kind and friendly people. We received constant videos of our pup and they let us know how he was everyday! This was our first time boarding with them but it will definitely not be our last! Thank you guys so much”
“Kandace was super helpful with her services of pick up & drop off while we were out of town. Deebo looked so happy and cared for in the photos Kandace sent! Kandace was very responsive with updates and replies.”

“Savana took my dog on short notice and really made her feel like part of the family! Can’t thank her enough for her wonderful treatment of my dog and frequent updates during her stay! Would definitely recommend and plan to use her services again!”
“This is the first time we have boarded Rosie through Rover and we couldn’t have picked a better person. We felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands and getting updates about how she was doing. Definitely recommend!!”
About: Hi, I’m Daphne! As a military wife, I understand that life can bring some unexpected, last minute schedule changes. So if there’s a weekend where you have to be away, I’d be more than happy to help watch over your fur baby! As a fitness instructor who values keeping an active lifestyle, I dedicate weekends to my dogs by taking them out on neighborhood walks, trails, or play dates to the dog parks — so if you need weekend care full of fun for your pup, look no further! Both of my dogs, Presley and Winston, play well with other dogs but can still be old souls who lay around and sleep all day too. While my husband is deployed until 2027, I want to continue helping out dogs in our community. A bit about our fam: We have a passion for animal rescue and welfare. We’ve fostered, volunteered, and have been active in our animal shelter. I have background handling both small and big dogs, dogs with high energy, and defeated dogs who have had overall rough lives. If we see any dog in need, no matter if it’s at 11pm, in the rain, or running through the roads, we will without hesitation, stop to help give that dog whatever it is they may need. We have come across many strays and have helped reunite them with their families or have found them forever homes with the help of our local animal shelters. Our dream life is working alongside a local animal rescue back home after military life and continuing to rescue & rehabilitate more dogs in need! If you need those “after hours” drop off/pick up times — don’t hesitate to ask! I am home on weekends all day so I am flexible with your schedule. During the week, I can also provide drop-in visits anywhere from 2pm-10pm. My camera roll is filled with pics of my own dogs so you can expect constant photos, videos, and updates on your baby throughout their time with me! What you can expect: I usually separate dogs at feeding times and keep them in their individual crate overnight. This is for their safety as I wouldn’t want anything harmful happening to them overnight when I am not watching! They may behave well in your home but in new environments, I want to take extra precautions. The dogs are not inside for more than 2 hours as I let them outside for potty breaks and outdoor playtime often, with weather conditions kept in mind.
“What an amazing place to leave our fur baby. Jen and her kids were amazing to our dog. Jen sent me pics of our dog throughout his stay. Great communication too! Will definitely use again.”
“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing. It allowed us to relax on our family trip knowing our fur family member was being well taken care of. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Heidi!!”
“I had to make last minute accommodations for my dog. Roy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would definitely use his services again.”
“Super nice family and took great care of my pal! Very communicative and followed all instructions. Jennifer asked about what she did not know. A whole week flew by and my dog looked happy when I returned.”
“Professional, accommodating, and excellent with communication. Gave prompt responses, picture updates daily, and did everything possible to make us feel at ease. Would recommend.”
“Bandit was very taken care of & super happy ! even walked down the stairs for the first time lol & I received multiple pictures/videos throughout the day. 10/10, thank you !”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
“Olivia was great. She sent pictures of our dog and was great at communication. Our dog looked like he was very comfortable. We will definitely be using her again. She was awesome!!”

Cat caregivers near you - Elkton
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. I have 3 cats of my own currently living with me who are all in perfect health, and my senior cat (from my college years) is living the retired life at my parent’s lake house, so he’s still doing great too! I also had a cat when I was younger who was diagnosed with diabetes toward the end of her life, so I learned how to administer insulin shots on cats. I am comfortable giving my cats any type of medicine, even the one that fights me the most on any kind of medicine, haha!
“Jennifer was fantastic. She saved me from a last minute work trip and was able to help me out without any issues at all. Her communication is fabulous and I would definitely recommend her to everyone!!!”
“Our kitties love June and she takes such great care of them while we are away! It is always hard to leave them while on vacation but knowing June is caring for them puts our mind at ease.”
“Ella was amazing!!! She kept me updated on my little baby’s and listened to all my worry’s about leaving them alone for a few days. She was so sweet and both my cats loved her. I will be recommending her to everyone, and booking with her again 🫶🫶”
“Yanya did a great job caring for and playing with Maggie Mae. She was very patient and caring. When she noticed that Maggie had an injury she called me immediately and waited for instructions.”
“Ayla-Lynnette graciously accepted my last minute request for her to take care of my cats while I was gone on vacation with my husband. She was easygoing, flexible, knowledgeable, and understanding. I would definitely book her again.”
“Lorrin is such an awesome and amazing person she went above and beyond and made sure the fur babies were okay and had what they needed ten out of ten absolutely recommend her”
“Katherine has been doing awesome with Ranger! Shows up on time and makes sure that he has food and water and plays with him during visits to keep his mind entertained while I am at work!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, cats, and dogs—which naturally led to a lifelong love for caring for and working with them. I pursued this passion academically by earning a degree in Animal Science and professionally by spending five years in the horse industry, where I gained experience in veterinary care, herd and barn management, as well as training and showing. I’ve also worked in veterinary clinics, where I developed strong skills in safe pet handling, basic first aid, and administering medications. In addition, I have experience with puppy training and basic obedience, and I’ve completed courses to certify my own dogs as Canine Good Citizens. Now settled with my husband, who is active-duty military, I enjoy providing calm, reliable, home-style care for pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their families are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom to one baby boy who already loves his furry “brothers,” which means I’m home most of the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and enjoy adjusting to each dog’s needs—whether that’s dedicated playtime for high-energy dogs, structured walks, or a relaxed day with couch time and snuggles. Because I’m home, pets are never left unattended for long and are treated as part of the family during their stay. I live a simple, calm lifestyle and tailor care to each dog’s individual needs. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and medication if needed. High-energy dogs receive dedicated play and enrichment, while more laid-back pets enjoy a relaxed pace with plenty of affection and snuggle time. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family—kept safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for cats, including cat sitting and regularly supporting the care of cats within a household setting. Through this, I’ve become comfortable with different cat personalities, from more independent cats to those that enjoy attention and play. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and creating a calm, safe environment where cats feel comfortable. I’m attentive to their needs, respectful of their space, and committed to making sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
“We’ve had SUCH a great experience with Ashley! Our pup has a ton of energy, and Ashley made sure he got a ton of exercise (and love) while she was there with him. She is very responsible and communicative, and she left super detailed updates (complete with great photos) that put the ‘crazy dog mom’ in me at ease. We look forward to using Ashley again and again! :)”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Elkton
“Jessica was amazing!! We needed a last minute sitter for our brand new, very needy 9 week old puppy, and she was more than up to the task. We were very comforted by her friendliness and the frequent updates. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I needed a few hours to complete shopping. I am visiting from out of town and needed a place to let my big boys play and run! This was fantastic! Super friendly. Responsive. And same day (with only an hour notice) such a life saver!”
“AMAZING! Thank you so much for taking care of our small pup! Our ball of energy came home tired which tells us he had lots of fun playing at pup daycare! Also, quick with responding which is a great plus and nice home with a large fenced yard for all the pups to play in! Will definitely book again!”
“Our little baby doesn’t get to play much with other animals and he had his first experience here and it went amazing. Tatiana was very caring. She provided amazing picture and video. We would definitely book with her again very soon. Thank you so much for being such a great help and provider for our little boy.”
“We had to modify our drop off and pick up a couple of times on the same day and Maria was able to accommodate and was very flexible and understanding. She takes amazing care of our dog and sends a lot of updates and pictures throughout the day and I can tell that our dog gets a lot of social and outside time. I never had issues with Maria and we have booked her plenty of times. Also her availability is amazing! Our dog always comes home very happy, healthy and very well taken care of ❤️ thanks so much Maria!”

“Sara and her are family are awesome. Couldn't think of a better place to leave our one year old Yorkie-poodle Dexter for the first time. Lots of pictures to assure me that he wasn't missing me much at all. Would recommend Sara to anyone with a dog who deals with separation anxiety like our Dexter does.”
“Moose and Chica adore Jennifer and enjoy daycare in her home. She is responsible and gentle with them, treating them as she would if they were part of her family. Thank you Jennifer for all that you've done for us. You are the best! We will definitely reach out when the next opportunity arises.”
“Patrick and Chris are excellent dog sitters and all around great people. I work early mornings in the hospital before any other daycares open and was worried I would have no place to bring my 4 month old puppy. They willingly took my pup in at 0515 am. She was so excited to see them the next morning. We will absolutely use them again!”
“Leslie took great care of our two very different dogs today! Our working line confident German Shepherd had as much of a great time as our more timid Border Collie mix. Leslie evaluated our dogs carefully and made it a wonderful experience for all involved. Thank you!!”
“Heather always takes good care of our Dallas. Dallas gets so excited to go to Heather’s house in days I work. He loves playing with all the other dogs. Heather treats Dallas like one of her own! We trust and appreciate her.”
“I was able to meet Roy before my fur baby's extended stay and do a meet and greet. Roy is very professional and friendly. Even though Cavi is not crate trained and a bit much, Roy was able to put my fears at ease knowing that my fur baby would be taking care of. Definitely recommend Roy.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments and provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I follow each pet’s routine closely and send regular updates to owners. I am a stay at home mom to one baby, so my schedule is very flexible! Morning and evening care times are preferred.

My organized, single level home provides an easy environment for dogs to relax, exercise, and feel at home while you’re away. I will maintain your pets routine in my home or yours!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for 17 years, starting at the age of 10, and my love for animals has only grown over time. I have experience with daily care routines, exercise, companionship, and basic pet needs. I understand pets are family. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners while giving their pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely, which allows me to be home and fully present with pets throughout the day. This means frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and plenty of attention, with pets able to move freely and feel comfortable all day long. I have a fenced in yard and 3 happy dogs who think they are human. Your pets are more than welcome to play with mine. However I can keep them separated if requested. If crates are necessary for your pets I can incorporate that as well. Whatever suite you and your pets needs!

About: I've cared for dogs big and small since I was eleven. I've watched pets, dogs and cats, for my neighbors and family who needed a caregiver while they're out. I've given the animals baths, walked them around their neighborhood, kept them fed and cared for, and I've stayed the night at my relatives for their dogs. They're typically calm and happy around me, despite separation anxiety. I love animals more than most people! I have full open availability with no other pressing school or work obligations. Sitting and dog walking fits perfectly into my routine as a very active person who needs a lot of walking and stimulation myself. It depends on what the client has provided for me at their home and what they have instructed me to do. I'll take them outside or keep them in per the owners' requests.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 17 and enjoyed everything about it to daily walks, daily play time, nap time, etc:) I currently work part time as a nurse in a hospital near Nashville! I am going back to school to become a PA. I love taking care of peoples animals on the side:) My surrealism shepherd gets special treatment. I take care of him by giving him daily walks, healthy food, supplements, and making sure he gets the best sleep!
About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.

About: I have taken care of my own pets (cats & dogs) as well as for neighbors, friends, and family most of my life and I will always treat them like my own. My own black lab fur baby is a senior girl. I've had her since she was a pup, so I have experience with all stages of life with dogs. I also have 2 cats and love playtime & snuggling with them (on their own terms of course). I am doing Rover exclusively for the time being, so my schedule is very open 7 days a week. I can do feedings, potty breaks, play time & exercise periodically throughout the day as needed. I have no problem with boarding/overnight stays anytime as well! I am a responsible pet parent, and I will always treat your fur babies like they are my own. I treat them how I would want mine to be treated if I were using these services. I will always follow your directions for feeding, rules, & boundaries. You can trust that your babies will be safe and have a fun time while you are away!
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like family. I have three sweet, well-loved pups of my own—a playful 1-year-old shepherd husky, a gentle 5-year-old black lab— & the sweetest 1 year old Corgi, so I understand different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. I’ve raised 2 of them since they were puppies, which gave me hands-on experience with puppy training, routines, and positive reinforcement, as well as providing calm, patient care for more mature dogs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first, whether that means structured playtime, relaxing cuddle time, or keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m attentive, dependable, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and their owners so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time stay home dog mama. My entire days revolve around my fur babies since my schedule is completely open. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and I’ve recently moved to the area from Colorado and went from an apartment to a house with a big yard so most of my days are spent outside with the fur babies. I do have a very large fully fenced in backyard and my dogs pretty much come in & out as they please. They have a large water bowl outside that is always filled and I spend time working with them and giving treats throughout the day as well.
“Kayla is wonderful with our Dottie girl! Dottie is so excited to see her. She is a new pup and Kayla is so patient, kind and playful with her! Kayla is incredibly communicative, she is always timely and gives us such peace of mind knowing our Dottie is in great hands! We feel so fortunate to get to work with Kayla!”
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily
About: My wife and I did pet sitting in Virginia for a little over 3 years before moving to Tennessee. Our pet parents loved us and recommended us highly. We have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us and some even called my wife the dog whisperer because she has a very calming demeanor. We have taken care of dogs from toy poodles to boxers (3 boxers at one time for the weekend). We love to play and snuggle and we will treat them like they are our own. I work nights but my wife is a stay at home grandmother and between us we have plenty of time to give your dog(s) or cat(s) the special time they need and we would love the chance to get to know yours. I am home full time so I have plenty of time to love on your pet(s) except when I have to go to other clients homes to love on theirs. I have a fenced in yard and take them out regularly and I go out with them to make sure they are safe and secure.

About: Hi, I’m Daphne! As a military wife, I understand that life can bring some unexpected, last minute schedule changes. So if there’s a weekend where you have to be away, I’d be more than happy to help watch over your fur baby! As a fitness instructor who values keeping an active lifestyle, I dedicate weekends to my dogs by taking them out on neighborhood walks, trails, or play dates to the dog parks — so if you need weekend care full of fun for your pup, look no further! Both of my dogs, Presley and Winston, play well with other dogs but can still be old souls who lay around and sleep all day too. While my husband is deployed until 2027, I want to continue helping out dogs in our community. A bit about our fam: We have a passion for animal rescue and welfare. We’ve fostered, volunteered, and have been active in our animal shelter. I have background handling both small and big dogs, dogs with high energy, and defeated dogs who have had overall rough lives. If we see any dog in need, no matter if it’s at 11pm, in the rain, or running through the roads, we will without hesitation, stop to help give that dog whatever it is they may need. We have come across many strays and have helped reunite them with their families or have found them forever homes with the help of our local animal shelters. Our dream life is working alongside a local animal rescue back home after military life and continuing to rescue & rehabilitate more dogs in need! If you need those “after hours” drop off/pick up times — don’t hesitate to ask! I am home on weekends all day so I am flexible with your schedule. During the week, I can also provide drop-in visits anywhere from 2pm-10pm. My camera roll is filled with pics of my own dogs so you can expect constant photos, videos, and updates on your baby throughout their time with me! What you can expect: I usually separate dogs at feeding times and keep them in their individual crate overnight. This is for their safety as I wouldn’t want anything harmful happening to them overnight when I am not watching! They may behave well in your home but in new environments, I want to take extra precautions. The dogs are not inside for more than 2 hours as I let them outside for potty breaks and outdoor playtime often, with weather conditions kept in mind.
“What an amazing place to leave our fur baby. Jen and her kids were amazing to our dog. Jen sent me pics of our dog throughout his stay. Great communication too! Will definitely use again.”
“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing. It allowed us to relax on our family trip knowing our fur family member was being well taken care of. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Heidi!!”

“Bandit was very taken care of & super happy ! even walked down the stairs for the first time lol & I received multiple pictures/videos throughout the day. 10/10, thank you !”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
