Highly-rated overnight sitters - Abell
“Denise was great with my dog. She constantly sent me pictures of my puppy, and he always seemed happy. Would definitely recommend her and use her services in the future.”
“This was my first time using this type of service, it was great to not have to board my girl especially since she requires insulin shots twice a day. Bobbi and her husband came twice a day during Christmas and were great with her.”
“Ashley was amazing. My original plans fell through for my dog and she was so nice and helpful. This was my first time leaving my dog and she kept me posted with pictures and texts everyday while he was there. If you need boarding I recommend Ashley. I will be booking with her again 10/10.”
“Thank you so much to Ms. Anika! She is the best! She has been watching our furbaby for about 4 years now and I don’t know what we would do without her. Her love and care allowed us to have a 9 day worry free family vacation❤️”
“Our fur baby loves visiting Erwin and family! Sends tons of pictures of his day, not just one or two, they send several! Super accommodating and flexible with our schedule. Love them!”
“Kerry and her family treat our dog like absolute royalty!! He’s welcomed and cared for as if he were their own. We always pick him up happy and clearly spoiled with love. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
“She was absolutely wonderful! She was very kind, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about my puppy. She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. It made such a difference knowing my puppy was in good hands. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter. 🐾”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“I can’t thank Tanita & Terrence enough for taking such great care of my fur baby. He was so sad to leave. I believe Sage had more fun than I did on his weekend getaway 😆”
“La Tasha always takes care of Ace as if he is her own. I don’t know what I’d ever do if she wasn’t available to watch my Ace. Very caring and loving environment. Love the checkins and updates”
“Linda was great with our dog! She was very responsive and sent pictures. We could tell he had a blast with her dogs, as he napped the entire evening when we brought him home.”
“Another great boarding experience with Lily. Christianna & Mary B always take such great care of her and bonus three other dogs were there for Lily to interact with a great weather too to exercise a lot. Thanks again.”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life, have two dogs, my 8 year old Pomeranian, Toby, and my 2 year old lab scout. We also have 3 cats; Finn, Sassy and sully I’m currently a stay at home mom raising my 14 month old son. He usually comes with me to do my rovers and does really well with animals as he has a bunch at home. He’s usually kept busy with toys or a movie while I do drop ins. We have house sitted before and he’s done well with that. My dogs are let out every two - four hours . My cats are fed twice daily once in the morning and again before bedtime but dry food is left out all day for grazing.
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.
“Christine was a wonderful caregiver to our beagle Molly. She sent daily updates with pictures and videos and let us know how Molly was doing since our dog has some separation anxiety when away from us, but Christine took great care to assure Molly would be okay. I would highly recommend Christine and hope that we'll get to leave Molly in her care again in the future.”
“We love Melissa! Been repeat boarders with her, and my dog gets excited when we turn down her street. She has been great with my works trips and sometimes last minute scheduling changes.”
“Megan was amazing! This was our first time having her board our dog and we were so impressed. She sent multiple pictures and videos everyday. We really felt like she welcomed our dog into her home and cared for him like he was her own. We will definitely be using Megan in the future and have already reccomended her to our friends and family.”

About: I have a lovely home in St Mary’s County with a fenced in back yard overlooking three acres. My family has always had dogs and it wouldn’t be home without them! We have three friendly beagle mixes, ages 2, 3 and 4. I worked full time for 28 years as a counselor for folks with disabilities and took an early retirement in order to be home for my middle school age son.

I’m able to accommodate to your pets needs
“John was fantastic! He kept us updated on what was going on at home and sent us pictures of the pets each day. He made sure the cats and Guiana pig didn’t miss a step in their routine while we were out of town. Fantastic experience! We will use him again.”
About: We are a dog loving household with a 8 year old super friendly jack russel of our own who loves playing with other dogs big or small. We both grew up around dogs big and small and love animals. We love going out back to playing catch and going on family walks to the park with the dog. When you board your dog with us rest assure they will be treated as part of the family. I am currently a SAHM so the dogs get lots of attention and playtime we have a fenced dog area in our backyard, allowing the dogs free range to run and play with eachother. we have also have a side of the house specifically blocked off just for the dogs in the case that they want to rest without being bothered. I am sahm during the week and my husband ia home on the weekend while I work so there is always someone here to give thw dogs attention. I have a fenced dog part and a friendly jack russel as well as 2 kida who love to play and tired the dogs out.
“We absolutely love using Caitlin and will only ever use her when possible! Our animals are always extremely well taken care of and the communication is more than we could ever ask for. We always know our furry friends are in the best hands when we have her check in on them. Will reccomend over and over again!”
“Leah stopped in each day to feed and medicate our two cats for a week. She was patient with our scaredy cats and always found them in their hiding spots, got their meds to them, and let us know how it went. Highly recommended!”
About: I have had my own cats ever since I was 14. One thing that sets me apart is my personal experience caring for my own sick cat. Through that experience, I learned the importance of patience, attention to detail, and closely monitoring changes in a pet's behavior, eating habits, and overall well-being. I understand how stressful it can be to leave a pet with medical or special care needs, and I strive to provide the same level of attentiveness and compassion that I would want for my own pet. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding schedules, administering oral medications when needed, and ensuring litter boxes, food areas, and living spaces remain clean and comfortable. I also provide regular updates so pet owners can feel confident that their cats are safe, happy, and well cared for while they're away. My goal is to treat every cat as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of love and attention.
About: With 15 years of experience, animals aren’t just my job — they’re my world. I bring genuine love and dedication to every pet in my care, whether they’re a playful pup, a curious kitten, or a wise senior companion. Beyond standard sitting services, I offer full grooming care including bathing, brushing, nail trims, teeth cleaning, and ear cleaning, so your pet comes home not just happy, but fresh and well-tended. Having these skills in-house means less stress for your pet and more convenience for you. Cats and dogs both hold a special place in my heart, and after 15 years, I’ve learned how to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home.

“Crystal took care of my 3 cats and they were not stressed when I returned. She is professional, kind prompt and likes animals. I definitely suggest Crystal for your pet needs. I will be having her if she is available, help me again.”
“Thank you Vanessa for taking such great care of all of our kitties! I’m sure they will miss you. Great with the cats and made sure they were taken care of while we were away. Prompt with visits and sent lots of pics to us. ♥️ Definitely will use again!”
About: I have taken care of animals for over a year now at a dog daycare/boarding centre in a variety of different circumstances. From Mastiff’s to Chihuahuas, I am confident taking care of various different sized dogs with a variety of different dietary needs from raw diets to kibble diets, medical needs from dogs that get medication once a day to dogs that get medication several times a day, and activity needs from dogs that need regular exercise to senior dogs that don’t need to be exercised. I have also had experience handling dogs that are extremely nervous around new people, dogs that can resource guard toys, and dogs that are highly reactive. I am a full-time commuter college student with large gaps between my morning and afternoon classes which I can travel to and from the owners house to let their dogs out and play with during. The only time that I am unable to stop by the house between classes is on Thursdays where I will be gone from 8 am to 2 pm due to my in-person lab course. I only offer services at my clients house so as of not to subject the pet to unnecessary stress from being in a new environment. I can administer any medication that is not via injection, I can cater to a variety of diets ranging from raw meat every day to freshly cooked food three times a day to kibble twice a day depending on the dogs needs, I have personal leashes that I can use or I can use the owners leashes to take the dog on walks as often as request/needed.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Abell
“Denise was great and treated our dog like family! Her family was very welcoming at the meet and great and every time we dropped our dog off at her home. He always comes home happy, tired, and content. I would highly recommend Denise!”
“Jacqueline went above and beyond to try and help my anxious dog. It didn't work out, but I still highly recommend her and would use her again in the future if my dog's situation changed.”
“Linda was great! She was able to take my boy for the day on less than 24hr notice. She was great with Aspen and took cute photos. I am so happy with his care. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m extremely attentive to routines, moods, and comfort levels, so your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Most importantly, I'm compassionate and caring. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets receive a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routines—feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime—to help them feel at home. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day while making sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and lots of love.
“Suzy was so concerned about my safety and ability to go to a memorial for a friend. When I was late, she was immediatly understanding, in fact, supportive. It was so lucky that I got in touch with her in the first place. . She greeted us with her two dogs, who were so sweet. She made sure the dogs had a proper introduction and gave me confidence that she would be able to handle my very active Australian cattle dog. All went beautifully.”
About: My name is Allie and I have been sitting for dogs for years. I have 3 labs of my own and have had many before. Dogs are my favorite! I am currently in school from 8-11:20 daily but am flexible any time after that from Monday through Friday. Weekends can be discussed but overall flexible! Due to my dogs at home I would not be sitting any dogs at my home but I am willing to travel distance. I am very good with all animals and love taking them on walks.
About: Very experienced 20 plus years dog owner and dog lover! We bread our KCC and now have 2 beautiful small gentle dogs. Your pet is welcome in our home. Or I can visit them in yours.

Originally from Ireland and live in Wildewoods. I have flexibility to cater for your Dogs needs. Communication will be first class to reassure you on your time apart. Large home. My two small dogs will offer company or indeed I can visit your home if your dog prefers solo walks and to stay in familiar surroundings. We have a fenced back garden and live in a quiet neighbourhood.
About: I’m the person people call when their animals need real care — not just a walk around the block. I regularly foster puppies, kittens, and medical-case animals, so I’m used to everything from bottle babies to pets who need meds, deworming, wound care, and structured routines. Nothing fazes me. I work in animal care, and I’m hands-on every day with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m big on structure, safety, and making sure your pet feels secure, not stressed. Whether your dog is a stage-five clinger, a shy baby deer, or a chaos gremlin, I’ve probably fostered one just like them. I work part time on the weekends and all of my free time is dedicated to fosters or owned pets! My passion and hobby is dog training and animal care. I respect and reinforce owners boundaries. My home is optimized for animal safety and with my extensive animal care knowledge I am confidently able to provide a safe and structured environment.
“First, Jaliah is so kind. Nala had a good time and was definitely ready for a nap once we got home (until she thought about treats, lol). Nala and I look forward to booking with Jaliah again soon.”
About: I have been a dog owner and lover for over 25 years. Your fur babies will definitely be treated like a member of our family while here. I work from home so there will be very little time, if any, that your pup would be without company. I have watched dogs/puppies of friends and families for years. Also would love the added benefit of giving my two pups some company now and then. My husband would also be here on evenings and weekends to help with any four-legged guests. We love dogs and would love to welcome yours while you are away! Pet care is top priority and we will take the best care possible of your fur babies. There will be lots of love, snuggles and exercise, and we will stick to your feeding and walking schedules to keep their routine consistent. We give lots of attention and love to doggy visitors. We have trails in our neighborhood as well as a nice sized yard where we can take walks. Your pup will definitely be treated as part of our family.
About: I’ve been taking care of a wide variety of pets since I was physically able to. I grew up in a household where taking care of animals was part of our everyday lives. My mom has worked in the animal field all her life and I followed in her footsteps until I had my first son 3 years ago and am now a stay at home mom. I started as a receptionist at my local animal hospital, moved on to a technician, and spent 4 years as a kennel supervisor until I moved on to emergency animal care. I understand whole heartedly that animals are more than just pets, they are family and will be treated as such when they are in my care. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, fish, snakes, pigs, and even chickens! Currently, I share my home with three beloved cats—Captain, Haven, and Slasher—and one sweet pup, Lucy, who keeps life fun and full of love. In addition to caring for my own fur babies, I regularly house-sit and pet-sit for friends and family. I'm currently unemployed due to medical reasons, which gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, and check-ins—even if I’m not staying overnight. I like to start with a meet and greet to get to know you and your pets. During that time, I ask clients to walk me through their routine and expectations, and I encourage leaving a detailed care list I can refer back to as needed. My goal is to keep things as smooth, stress-free, and loving as possible—for both you and your pets. I'd love the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same attention and affection I give my own. Let's chat about how I can help! Pet care is already a big part of my daily life with my own cats and dog. I plan my day around feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, so adding in care for other pets fits naturally into my routine. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate visits, walks, or overnight stays based on your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided and make sure pets are in a secure, clean, and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, move at their pace, and keep their daily routines as consistent as possible. I also encourage clients to leave detailed care notes to ensure nothing is missed.
About: I’m recently retired and home much of the time. I live in the Golden Beach community. I have three dogs of my own ranging an age from one to almost 17.

I have not yet been on the site long enough to have acquired them on the app. I am available full-time to care and sit. My whole focus is on pet care at this time.

About: I've cherished and taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 7. I've had a dog in my life since then (mostly large breeds) and I can't imagine my life without one. I've had cats in the past and I love their feisty and sometimes lazy personalities but my husband has an allergy so we can't have one. I've rehabilitated squirrels, chickens and have helped several dogs recover from surgeries (ACL, stitches, spay, neuter, etc) My husband and son often joke with me and call my pups my "dogtourage" because they follow me around anywhere I go. I think animals are amazing and couldn't imagine a life without them. They deserve all the best in the world. I recently made the decision to lower my stress and simplify my life. I now have the time and flexibility to do this more. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them and all their different personalities. Rover gives me a chance to do that and also earn a little to feed my pups while doing so. :) I have 3 acres double fenced to accommodate large and small dogs while keeping them safe. My pups are my family and I believe all fur babies (cats and dogs) should be treated that way. Mine are very active and chase each other around the property until they are tired, then nap and repeat. They love to meet and play with new friends. Your pets will be treated the same as I treat mine with lots of snuggles and kisses.
“You can tell Alexis is an animal lover watching her interact with your pets. My dog absolutely ADORES Alexis! She is very punctual, attentive, and extremely kind. I am very picky about who I trust with my pup (she has an autoimmune disorder that can come on out of nowhere) and I feel very comfortable having her look after my dog knowing she’s in good hands.”
About: With 15 years of experience, animals aren’t just my job, they’re my world. I bring genuine love and dedication to every pet in my care, whether they’re a playful pup, a curious kitten, or a wise senior companion. Beyond standard sitting services, I offer full grooming care including bathing, brushing, nail trims, teeth cleaning, and ear cleaning, so your pet comes home not just happy, but fresh and well-tended. Having these skills in-house means less stress for your pet and more convenience for you. Cats and dogs both hold a special place in my heart, and after 15 years, I’ve learned how to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. Pet care is woven into every part of my day. My mornings start with feeding, walks, and making sure every animal in my care gets one on one attention before anything else. Throughout the day I check in on their needs, whether that is playtime, grooming, or just some quiet companionship. Evenings are for winding down together, because pets thrive on consistency and I make sure they always feel settled and secure. This is not something I squeeze into my schedule. It is my schedule. Animals are my priority seven days a week, and that kind of commitment is something every pet owner deserves to know their sitter has. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is always the same, to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I tailor my care to each animal’s personality and routine, because no two pets are alike. When caring for pets in my home, they become part of my daily life. They sleep comfortably, play freely, and receive constant attention throughout the day and night. I keep things calm and nurturing so even nervous or anxious pets can relax and settle in. When visiting clients in their own homes, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Familiar surroundings make a big difference, especially for cats and older pets who do best in their own environment. I handle everything from feeding and walks to grooming and cuddle time, so your home stays in order and your pet stays happy. Either way, you can count on updates and peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in experienced, caring hands.
About: I have been pet sitting on and off for about 5 years now, mostly for friends and family. I love animals and am comfortable with all care levels that may involved! I am currently taking online college classes and I work during the day most days. But I have plenty of spare time for pet sitting! I absolutely love animals and am very excited to make some new fur friends! Your pets care and happiness is going to be my upmost priority. I will always try to create a fun and safe environment for everyone involved.
About: I have experience with large dogs and small dogs and love spending time with animals. I am currrently without animals at the moment which leaves more time for me to help others! I work full time but have availability some afternoons and evenings and also weekends. My job is also flexible so I’m able to take lunch breaks and work from home most days. I can work with your schedule and be flexible to what you and your animals need. Please just let me know what you’re looking for and we can work together to make that happen!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life , i’ve grown up with many different dog breeds. I have a golden retriever currently and i’ve trained her and she’s a great dog. I’ve administered medication to dogs, i take my dog out periodically throughout the day and feed her twice a day. Pet care fits into my daily routine, as i take care of 3 cats and 1 dog everyday and making sure there feeding times are in schedule I will let dogs out in fenced yard if applicable at there house if not then i will take the dog(s) on a walk so they can go to the bathroom. I will stay periodically throughout the day so the animals can have some social time.

“Denise was great with my dog. She constantly sent me pictures of my puppy, and he always seemed happy. Would definitely recommend her and use her services in the future.”
“This was my first time using this type of service, it was great to not have to board my girl especially since she requires insulin shots twice a day. Bobbi and her husband came twice a day during Christmas and were great with her.”
“Ashley was amazing. My original plans fell through for my dog and she was so nice and helpful. This was my first time leaving my dog and she kept me posted with pictures and texts everyday while he was there. If you need boarding I recommend Ashley. I will be booking with her again 10/10.”
“Our fur baby loves visiting Erwin and family! Sends tons of pictures of his day, not just one or two, they send several! Super accommodating and flexible with our schedule. Love them!”
“Kerry and her family treat our dog like absolute royalty!! He’s welcomed and cared for as if he were their own. We always pick him up happy and clearly spoiled with love. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“I can’t thank Tanita & Terrence enough for taking such great care of my fur baby. He was so sad to leave. I believe Sage had more fun than I did on his weekend getaway 😆”
“Linda was great with our dog! She was very responsive and sent pictures. We could tell he had a blast with her dogs, as he napped the entire evening when we brought him home.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.
“We love Melissa! Been repeat boarders with her, and my dog gets excited when we turn down her street. She has been great with my works trips and sometimes last minute scheduling changes.”
“Megan was amazing! This was our first time having her board our dog and we were so impressed. She sent multiple pictures and videos everyday. We really felt like she welcomed our dog into her home and cared for him like he was her own. We will definitely be using Megan in the future and have already reccomended her to our friends and family.”
“Lilian was so kind and welcoming! I loved that she kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos. She took such great care of my puppy Nova over the weekend. Nova had so much fun running around she came home and went to bed 😂. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!”
“Kelly is a complete life-saver. My family has had a vacation planned for almost a year. The day before we left, I reached out to the dog sitter (NOT KELLY) and was ghosted. She never responded or replied. At 9pm, the night before my vacation, with a departure time of 8am, I was in a panic. Kelly was very quick to respond, she answered all my questions and even worked with me to find a way to get our pup to her since we were leaving too early to drop them off. While our dog was there, Kelly sent constant updates and photos. Her and her husband truly enjoyed watching my dog and it made me so comfortable knowing she was in good hands. She has a large fence in backyard which was perfect for my dog, and her dog River is an absolute sweetheart! My dog was EXHAUSTED for days after because she had so much fun at Kelly's. I truly can not recommend her enough. She is 100% my go to for doggie care now! Thank you for everything Kelly!”
“I highly recommend Melanie and Randy to care for your pets! Our dog,Pax, can only have a certain type of dog toy, since he is a heavy chewer, and Melanie made sure that he would only have non-destructable toys to play with. She also gave updates with pictures to let me know how Pax was settling in. I felt very comfortable with Melanie and Randy caring for Pax and will definitely rebook with them on the future.”
“Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of our boy Max. He requires extra attention due to his separation anxiety. You treated him like he was your own, allowing him to be a lap dog as big as he is. He loves to be next to people. You provided us with pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip, knowing he was being well taken care of. Elizabeth, you went out of your way to help us stay calm when our flight was significantly delayed. We will definitely use your services again.”
“Atiyana is a lifesaver! She took our last minute request to board our boy. She kept us updated while we were away and I know our boy had an awesome time. Will use her again ❤️”
“Kimberly took exceptional care of our pups! Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for an attentive care taker for your fur babies while away. I will not hesitate to call Ms. Kimberly again to watch Greta and Bow again.”
