“This was the puppies second time with Karen ! And it was a great stay just like last time . She even cut my Louie face hairs off for me ..,Something I have not been able to do in a long time but she got it DONE ! Karen you guys are awesome we will be forever customers”
“Great communication and flexibility. They also offered a half price trial overnight which was a great idea. I was uncertain how Riley would do with young children as she’s never had experience with kids younger than middle school age and having this trial before a week long stay made me more comfortable. Riley had a good time with them and Dunkin. We’ve booked that week long stay.”
“We are very pleased with the care Pamela provides for our dog! She really takes great care to make our dog feel comfortable. She has a great fenced yard where our dog can run around and explore. Pamela also keeps us posted on our dog’s activities with daily pictures! We wholeheartedly recommend Pamela!”
“This is our second dog we’ve left with Pearl. She is a capable dog owner and sitter and easily manages the dogs in her care. Her home is dog friendly and our anxious dog settled down quickly with Pearl.”
“Absolutely awesome! For my first time ever boarding a pet of mine, Alex made it super smooth, and I left feeling great knowing my boy was gonna be on a mini vacation himself ? Will 100% be using her again.”
“Our other dog passed very recently and has been with Milo for life so leaving him was especially difficult. We typically board and this is our first time using rover. Barbara reassured us and sent photos/updates throughout our time traveling. Response time and communication was top tier. I could tell he felt comfortable and safe in her home and was happy as can be despite the circumstances. I am so happy we opted not to board. 10/10 recommend and would happily work with barb again.”
“Thomas and his sons took great care of Tucker while I was away. He responded quickly every time I reached out and Tucker seemed right at home when I picked him up at the end of his stay!”
“Paris took great care of our 14 year old doggie - Rosco. She provided us with feedback and pictures every day. Rosco is a nervous/anxious dog. But, Rosco seemed relaxed in Paris' care and was happy when we picked him up. I will use Paris again when the need arises.”
“Justin & Stephanie were so great with our big dog & our older dog. We loved how detailed they were during the meetup and how many pictures they sent us while we were away! We really felt like they were in good loving hands while we were away and they made our first rover experience awesome.”
“Jenn and her husband took great care of Rocky while I was away. I felt confident he was in good hands and was given updates regularly during my trip. Rocky came home happy and healthy. I highly recommend Jenn!”
“Kayla was great and was able to accommodate me and my dog on very short notice. She’s incredibly caring and was great with updating me during my boarding time. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Can’t say enough great things about how well Briana and Isaiah care for my pup! We love them and fully trust them to care for her when we are away! I never stress if my dog is okay and she’s always happy to see them and happy and healthy when we get her back! You’ll have no regrets leaving your fur babies with them!”
“Such a wonderful experience. Loved all the pictures and videos sent. My Sasha had such a wonderful time playing with all the pups and yard. Will plan for the next stay as my dog is so happy with her stay.”
“I’m so glad we found Patrick and Bahiya on Rover to take care of our dog. My Loki can be a little “extra” but everything worked out so great and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy our vacation and know he was so taken care of. I can’t thank you enough for the daily updates seeing him so well taken care of.”
“Sue was great. My dog got along with her two dogs, and had a nice fenced in yard for them to run and play. She kept me informed and sent me a couple of pics over the week. Havre de Grace isis on the way to the Baltimore airport so very convenient drop off snd pick up. I don’t travel Vera often but will reach out the next time I do.”

“Would definitely use Mason again. Took very good care of my 4 cats - fed them, gave them clean water, changed their litter, vacuumed the litter area and played with them. She even found some of the hiding places of my shy cat. Highly recommend her.”
“Becky took great care of our two older kitties. They got lots of attention while we were gone! We appreciated the pictures and updates she sent. It was nice knowing that they were in good hands. ??”
“Emily was fantastic! Her daily write-ups were amazing, she went above and beyond when it came to the service she provided, and ultimately, she ensured our cats were happy and healthy while we were away! We could be more pleased with her. Thanks for everything, Emily!”
“Eileen was a blessing. She let me know every day how Callie was doing and took time to interact with her!!! I would absolutely book Eileen again and highly recommend her. Thank you, Eileen, so very much!!!”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and I got my first dog at 16. My dog is a mastiff mix, who was unfortunately a covid puppy, leaving her with little socialisation, causing her to be reactive around other animals. We have both been learning from each other everyday and I have been working with and training her since she was a puppy. Throughout the years she has gotten much more confident in herself; even having dog friends now and a younger puppy sister. I have also worked with senior dogs, adminstering medication as needed and helping assist with activities. I have worked with other animals as well, of all different sizes, so I am confident in my ability to read body language and take care of the dogs as needed I am a full-time college student, who is working part-time, and with a chaotic schedule, finding a job for a business is difficult due to my availibilty. I have several animals of my own, making spending time and taking care of them the highlight of my day. I love and treat animals just as the family they are, so when working with others animals, it feels like more of a reward than a job, which I feel is crucial when being a full-time college student and trying to make a living. All of my animals are family and are treated as such, so when taking care of others dogs, I treat them with the same mindset; providing care, love, fun and respect.
About: I have been interested in cats all my life and during the covid years I had finally been able to get one. I take care of my own cats, and because of that I have experience with them. Additionally I have pet sat for a cat who was rescued with feline aids. I have done, and continue to do a lot of research on animals because they are very important to me. I went to an animal orientated program because of my love for animals, and always put their health and happiness first.
“Once again, Alissa was amazing. We have two new kittens who are just beginning to have full access to the house. Alissa was flexible in adjusting her visits. She came a week or so before our trip to get acquainted with the cats. Alissa is very responsive to messages and arrives promptly. Highly recommend booking her!”
“Colleen took wonderful care of my cranky cat and aggressive angelfish over the weekend. I felt much better leaving them in her hands rather than leaving them alone for the weekend. Thank you Colleen for the care you gave them.”
About: Growing up in Mexico I lived on a ranch. We had many different types of animals, my favorites were always the dogs. In my life I’ve raised 6 dogs from puppies to adults and have found many tips and tricks to be friend them. I also have experience with my three child hood cats and have always found them fun to play with! I have in my life as well taken care of horses, goats, sheep, and cattle! So no job is too big for me :) I currently am in need of a hernia surgery so am not able to work my other jobs or do my sports, so my schedule is pretty open for anyone in need! I make sure that I listen to the instructions of any person I’m working with, because at the end of the day my job isn’t to create a new feeling for my furry friends, but to try and recreate what they’ve already known for so long with you the wonderful owners!
“Christine took wonderful care of my 3 cats and she kept me informed about their daily activities. These were drop-in visits to my home for 16 days while I was on vacation. Would definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 8. I’ve had guinea pigs, dogs, and a rabbit. My family currently has one rabbit, Thumper. He is the best! We also have three wonderful dogs…two English cream golden retrievers, Remi and Raven, and a spunky beagle named Snoopy! I was a teacher for 24 years and now I worked in a school library for the past 4 years. I’m trying to make some extra money on the side. I started doing some dog walking/sitting during the summer of ‘25 and have truly enjoyed it! I love being outside and taking walks with the pups or just playing with them inside! I’ve also taken care of cats too. I love spending time with animals! I’m available after 4 p.m. and at night too, during the school year. On the weekends, my schedule is very flexible. Since I work for the school system, my schedule is much more open in the summer time, if you need any help! I can take your dog for a walk, so they can get some exercise. I can also stay and play with your pet! Happy to send pictures and updates too!
“Aria is absolutely wonderful! I could see she was connecting with my cats every visit. Everything was is great order when I got home including food well taken care of and the litter box tidy! I will most certainly ask to use Aria again!!”
“Elizabeth was amazing. She came over before we left for our wedding to meet our pets and let them learn her smells. She did exactly what we asked and sent pictures. Our one cat who is terrified of all strangers actually would come out to her and say hi instead of hiding. She will always be our go to when we need a sitter.”

“Reese had a great time with Karen and her husband. Karen was super sweet and welcoming. She sent pics and videos too! So glad we found someone we can trust super close to home! 🥰”
“Susan is wonderful, so kind and caring, and I can tell that Finlay loves being at her house. He goes into her home with his tail wagging and always comes home happy and tired. It’s a relief knowing he’s in a warm, loving home while I’m away. Highly recommend Susan.”
“As a new client, I’ve had a really positive experience so far with Pearl. From the beginning, she has been professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Even in a short time, my dog seems relaxed and well cared for after spending time with her. Overall, I’m very pleased with the care she’s had provided and would definitely recommend her to others Sylvia A”
About: ***drop off and pick up times are between 9 am -2:30 pm or between 5 pm and 10 pm***** as I have zoom meetings in mornings and afternoons ; Rover will not let me put in specific times I do apologize****I have two fur babies of my own! They are spoiled rotten. Their names are Rainy and Stormy . I am well trained in giving oral medications as I had a fur baby that had congestive heart failure for 4 years whom also was a senior dog when he passed at 18 years old. I have taken care of other people’s dogs and cats. Where they are treated like my babies while here as well and get spoiled and lots of attention. I work from home and care for my grandmother so I will home with them at all times. I can administrate pills/medicine if needed. I am able to take the dogs out whenever it is needed. My babies are always by my side like shadows. I have a fenced in yard.My dogs love to play with friends dogs. The more the merrier!
“Ann was very sweet and patient to my little rescue pup who has trust issues with new people. Within a short time, he was very comfortable and happy staying with her. She took great care of him!”
“Tarina did amazing things with Maxx while he was with her. She was able to get him to walk on a leash without pulling in just a few hours. She is very kind hearted and knowledgeable about all things dog related. She has a loving family who loves dogs just as much as she does. They welcomed Maxx into their home like he was family. We would love to have Maxx spend time with her and her family again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, my whole life whether they were my own or somebody else’s I absolutely love animals your animal will always be safe in my care and have the best time. I’m currently a stay at home mom so if I leave the house, I only leave to go to the grocery store or to grab the little one something to eat if they want it I have a huge backyard my house backs up against the woods. We are not close to the road at all. You’re dog would never be let outside alone my kids would run around in the backyard with them 💕
About: My family has always had pets and I developed a huge love for them very early on! I have always had a huge passion for them and now have been fortunate enough to turn my love for animals into what I get to do for a career! I am able to care for all sorts of pets, young, old, high energy, low energy! I can administer medication and give your pet a vacation while you’re away! Prices are negotiable so please feel free to reach out! I am a full time pet care provider so my schedule is very open to be able to come hang out and love on your fur babies!! I have a big yard and live an active life, so I’m able to give your fur baby the attention they need whether that be running around or laying on the couch! I want your pets to feel comfortable and loved while you’re away so I do everything I can for them to have a great time while they’re with me! I am also privately insured in case of any accident!
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since my high school days. I love caring for and building relationships with dogs because they are truly like your best friend when they get to know and love you. Currently I work from home and for the most part make my own schedule every day. I am looking to build loving relationships with every pet that I care for so every owner can confidently put their trust in me to bring their furry friends back to me anytime they need me to take care of them. Me and my husband love dogs! We have a doggy park inside of our residence as well as a lovely community of people who walk their dogs everyday I’m sure your pet will meet some friends as we go out for walks and play at the park. Please let me know if you have any special food or any other request that you need me to accommodate to ensure that your furry baby is okay so I can be prepared as much as I can to welcome them into our home. I make my own schedule every day so i am pretty much free Monday through Sunday each week. I will make sure I update the time slots that are booked as clients start scheduling their appointments. All small and medium-sized dogs will be more than welcomed to roam freely around my living room kitchen area and are allowed to sit and lay on the couches as well. The floors are hardwood so even if they have an accident of pooping or peeing on the floor it will be alot easier for me to clean up on the hard floors than the carpeted areas. They will be allowed to come into my bedroom or any other room as long as I am in the room supervising them. I will take them outside to potty every 2 hours timed from the time they arrive until their scheduled time of leaving. You can feel free to bring their favorite toys they love to play with but I will also be purchasing brand new toys that I'm sure your dogs/cats will love to play with.
“Couldn’t be more grateful Tevin was willing to host Spark! My dog loved him/the environment. He was worn out from playing by the pickup time. Great sitter, good communication, and thorough updates. His dogs were very welcoming towards mine.”
About: I don’t just watch dogs I treat every dog like family. 🐾❤️ I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. From playtime and cuddles to walks, attention, and plenty of positive interaction, I make sure every dog gets more than just supervision they get a fun, personalized experience they’ll look forward to every time. Because your dog deserves more than a place to stay they deserve a second home. I am a stay at home mom my attention is on kids and animals I only go out if I have to and it’s never a long time I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs (small dogs ) to keep your fur baby company. They will be loved and protected by me and my family❤️
“Emma was so sweet with Puddin' - just the kind of energy that makes my nervous standard comfortable. She was also very flexible with me as I needed to drop off Puddin' way later than originally planned.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had one of my own. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also have experience helping at a dog kennel, where I’ve assisted with bathing, feeding, supervising playtime, and making sure the dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and strive to provide patient, loving care that helps them feel safe and at home. Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m home throughout the day caring for dogs and running our grooming business located behind our house. I do leave briefly in the morning and again in the afternoon to care for my horse, but I’m otherwise home and available to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and enjoy time outside. Every dog that stays with me is treated like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, patience, and care. I strive to provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment so both you and your pet can feel at ease while you’re apart.

“Ella is wonderfully responsible and reliable with amazing communication skills. Our dog was so well cared for over the 3 days we were away. You can hire her without a doubt. Thank you Ella!!”
“Erica is a miracle! I was worried how long it might take my dog to warm up to someone coming in her home without me there, particularly because she is blind. Erica worked with me to take the time to get to know Ember and fortunately, it took no time at all! Ember warmed up to her so quickly and is so excited when she visits for a walk! Ember and I are so grateful!”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life, & I can’t wait until I’m in a situation when I can finally have my own dog again. I’m knowledgeable about pet care & animal behavior, have great attention to detail, & enjoy learning more. I love every critter I meet (although I am partial towards chihuahuas & pits) & I have yet to meet a dog that didn’t like me. My family always had dogs growing up, & I have experience caring for a variety of dogs of different ages. I’ve only had two pet dogs that went through their entire life cycle with me, & my most recent doggo was a shitzu who came to me when she was 11. I spent her last few years trying to make her as comfortable & happy as possible. That’s the goal for every animal I care for. While this is obviously a job, & I do need the money, I genuinely enjoy getting to be helpful, to make someone’s life easier, & to, of course, spend time with dogs. I figure if I have to have a side hustle, it should at least be rewarding!! Thanks for reading!! I am a waitress- I usually work full-time, but it’s the slow season & we have a server surplus at the moment. I’m currently only scheduled for 3 night shifts a week, so my schedule is pretty open. Even on the days I do work, I would be able to check-in & care for the dogs before I go in, & can check on them afterwards as well if needed. Basically, I currently have plenty of time to fit in pet care. I am comfortable staying at someone else’s place; it would be nice to have a change of scenery every once in a while. Of course, I will treat your house with respect & be sure to leave it as it was when I arrived! If they wanna chill & sleep, that’s fine with me, but if they’re really active & need to play, I will play fetch & tug-o-war for hours on end. I have a car & supplies to take care of a dog if it is needed (snacks, poop bags, leash, blankets, first aid kit). I’m familiar with dog breeds & behavior & am aware of different training techniques so I’m not worried about being able to manage any dog- like getting them in their crate at the end of the night, or establishing a relationship with them, etc. I will care for your pet the way you want, but above all I will always care for an animal with the utmost respect & love, 💕
About: Growing up I was always involved with the care and grooming of my mother's AKC American Cocker spaniel kennel and quickly fell in love with dogs. I've helped deliver 3 liters of puppies ensuring every fine detail of the process was done properly. I've assisted and led many rescue missions for strays and wildlife. I currently care for three rescue rabbits Layla, Monty, Zuko and one beagle/JackRussell mix, Copper. I'm lucky to have all my pets in my life and they truly enrich our lives for the better. I currently accepted a new job opportunity therefore my schedule is a little odd right now but message me and we can work out the details there. on a leash/harness or lead line in the yard. I do walks and or hikes- weather permitted. Allow outside with supervised fenced in playtime with toys

About: Hi, I am Becky and I am a lifelong animal lover. I have always had pets in my home since birth. My husband shares my passion for animals and has served as a Vet Tech in the Army. As we have traveled the world, we have watched pets of all ages and sizes. My kids love having furry friends visit and enjoy joining me when walking the dog. So much so, my daughter's first word was "kitten." In our home, we have a beautiful black lab, tortie kitty, and a handful of geckos that live in our backyard. Now that my three children are in school, I would love to assist you with dog walking, cat and dog boarding, and daily check-ins for any of your furry family members.

About: I have watched over many of my friends and families pets. The dogs I have watched in the past have been moderately large, and could be a bit wild at times but I was able to keep hold of the situation. I have also accompanied my family and friends when they had taken care of pets for other families. I had helped train a very wild pup for a friend, as well as a basic command which was sit. I absolutely love animals and even went to a program in high school for them. I am currently free during most times of the week. I am currently attending HCC, my classes being on Monday and Wednesday and do not stretch late into the day. I am very available to watch your pups or kitties! I can come during the mornings or evenings during the week depending on the day. I am also available to house sit. I care for them by learning their needs and wants first in their home. I understand every animal is unique and needs to be cared for in a way that works for them. I listen to the owner to ensure that everything will be safe and cared for in their absence.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience working in veterinary hospitals and doggy daycare settings. I’ve learned how to safely handle dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also have a strong interest in pet nutrition and overall wellness, which helps me pay attention to the little details that keep pets healthy and happy. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, keeping up with routines, or just spending time giving them attention and comfort, I always treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet! I'm a full-time college student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I can do same day walks/sittings, and I love to take care of animals whenever I can! I treat every animal like they are my own. This is something that is super important to me - treat every animal how you want to be treated, or how you'd treat your own!

About: Hi! My name is Julia, and I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have owned both dogs and cats since I was a child, so caring for pets has always been a natural and important part of my life. I have several years of experience with dog sitting and house sitting, and I understand how important it is to know your pets and home are in caring, trustworthy hands. I love all pets and enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away. I am dependable, attentive, and respectful of each family’s home and pet care preferences. I would be happy to care for your furry family member and give them the same love and attention I would give my own pets! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I enjoy having pets as part of my routine, whether that means starting the day with a walk, stopping by for a midday visit, or spending quiet time with a cat who just wants company nearby. I’m dependable and flexible, and I understand that pets do best when their normal schedule is followed as closely as possible. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs, whether they need extra attention, medication reminders, playtime, or just someone calm and caring to keep them company while their family is away. I care for pets with patience, respect, and attention to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications or special needs, favorite toys, and any house rules. I know pets feel safest when things stay familiar, so I do my best to keep their routine calm and consistent while their family is away. I also treat every home with care and respect. I make sure doors are locked, food and water are refreshed, litter boxes or pet areas are kept clean, and pets are safe before I leave. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and personality, whether they are playful, shy, energetic, independent, or need a little extra reassurance. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and for owners to feel confident knowing their pets and home are in trustworthy hands.

I'm looking for a fun way to make extra money and i couldn't think of anything better then spending time with dogs & cats while doing that. I work four days a week but it’s flexible! I’m available everyday after 2pm and if I have a good enough heads up I’m available 24/7 I can give you references of people I have house/pet sat for in the past. I’m comfortable crating your pet if needed. I’m easily available on my cell phone when I am pet sitting. And I can send updates whenever you would like.

About: I've been fostering dogs and cats since 2013, I've done pet sitting for 5 years, and I worked at an animal boarding facility for a little over a year. I can give medication, and I have experience with all sorts of pets. I currently work part time, so I have quite a bit of time to stop by and check on your pet. Or, if I'm staying in your home, your pet will have lots of attention because I will be home most of the day. Depending on the animals needs, I'm able to do anything and everything to make them feel comfortable when they not so furry parents aren't home.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since my high school days. I love caring for and building relationships with dogs because they are truly like your best friend when they get to know and love you. Currently I work from home and for the most part make my own schedule every day. I am looking to build loving relationships with every pet that I care for so every owner can confidently put their trust in me to bring their furry friends back to me anytime they need me to take care of them. Me and my husband love dogs! We have a doggy park inside of our residence as well as a lovely community of people who walk their dogs everyday I’m sure your pet will meet some friends as we go out for walks and play at the park. Please let me know if you have any special food or any other request that you need me to accommodate to ensure that your furry baby is okay so I can be prepared as much as I can to welcome them into our home. I make my own schedule every day so i am pretty much free Monday through Sunday each week. I will make sure I update the time slots that are booked as clients start scheduling their appointments. All small and medium-sized dogs will be more than welcomed to roam freely around my living room kitchen area and are allowed to sit and lay on the couches as well. The floors are hardwood so even if they have an accident of pooping or peeing on the floor it will be alot easier for me to clean up on the hard floors than the carpeted areas. They will be allowed to come into my bedroom or any other room as long as I am in the room supervising them. I will take them outside to potty every 2 hours timed from the time they arrive until their scheduled time of leaving. You can feel free to bring their favorite toys they love to play with but I will also be purchasing brand new toys that I'm sure your dogs/cats will love to play with.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember — I’ve had everything from hermit crabs and frogs to cats and dogs since I was a kid! Friends, family, and even my coaches have always trusted me to take them on a walk and petsit. I also worked on a farm where I helped bathe dogs and care for all kinds of animals. I’m comfortable giving medicine, trimming nails, and making bath time fun and easy. I treat every pet like my own — with lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, your pets will be in caring, reliable hands. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule that allows plenty of time for pet care! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I have morning classes but long breaks from 10:30–12:30 that are perfect for walks or potty breaks. Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m done with class by early afternoon, giving me lots of time for drop-ins, playtime, or longer walks. Weekends are completely open, so I’m very flexible for house sitting or extended visits. No matter what my day looks like, I always make time for animals — spending time with pets is honestly one of my favorite ways to take a break from studying! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime routines — so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I always keep their space clean and cozy. I’m comfortable giving medication if needed and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

“This was the puppies second time with Karen ! And it was a great stay just like last time . She even cut my Louie face hairs off for me ..,Something I have not been able to do in a long time but she got it DONE ! Karen you guys are awesome we will be forever customers”
“Great communication and flexibility. They also offered a half price trial overnight which was a great idea. I was uncertain how Riley would do with young children as she’s never had experience with kids younger than middle school age and having this trial before a week long stay made me more comfortable. Riley had a good time with them and Dunkin. We’ve booked that week long stay.”
“We are very pleased with the care Pamela provides for our dog! She really takes great care to make our dog feel comfortable. She has a great fenced yard where our dog can run around and explore. Pamela also keeps us posted on our dog’s activities with daily pictures! We wholeheartedly recommend Pamela!”
“This is our second dog we’ve left with Pearl. She is a capable dog owner and sitter and easily manages the dogs in her care. Her home is dog friendly and our anxious dog settled down quickly with Pearl.”
“Absolutely awesome! For my first time ever boarding a pet of mine, Alex made it super smooth, and I left feeling great knowing my boy was gonna be on a mini vacation himself ? Will 100% be using her again.”
“Thomas and his sons took great care of Tucker while I was away. He responded quickly every time I reached out and Tucker seemed right at home when I picked him up at the end of his stay!”
“Justin & Stephanie were so great with our big dog & our older dog. We loved how detailed they were during the meetup and how many pictures they sent us while we were away! We really felt like they were in good loving hands while we were away and they made our first rover experience awesome.”
“Jenn and her husband took great care of Rocky while I was away. I felt confident he was in good hands and was given updates regularly during my trip. Rocky came home happy and healthy. I highly recommend Jenn!”
“Kayla was great and was able to accommodate me and my dog on very short notice. She’s incredibly caring and was great with updating me during my boarding time. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Can’t say enough great things about how well Briana and Isaiah care for my pup! We love them and fully trust them to care for her when we are away! I never stress if my dog is okay and she’s always happy to see them and happy and healthy when we get her back! You’ll have no regrets leaving your fur babies with them!”
“Such a wonderful experience. Loved all the pictures and videos sent. My Sasha had such a wonderful time playing with all the pups and yard. Will plan for the next stay as my dog is so happy with her stay.”
“I’m so glad we found Patrick and Bahiya on Rover to take care of our dog. My Loki can be a little “extra” but everything worked out so great and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy our vacation and know he was so taken care of. I can’t thank you enough for the daily updates seeing him so well taken care of.”
“Sadie had such a great time staying with Laura. She is very skeptical about new environments; however, she was very comfortable and showed no signs of stress. I will be asking Laura to watch Sadie again in the future.”
“We had the absolute pleasure of having Brittany watch our Toby for extended stay while we were on vacation. From the first meet and greet, we were certain we made the right choice as it is apparent Brittany genuinely loves animals and pet sitting. Her beautiful home and farm is such a welcoming place for animals of all kinds and our dog even used the pool for swimming. We really enjoyed the daily pictures and updates from Brittany to put our minds at ease. She even gave our dog a bath at the end. Highly recommend Brittany if you are looking for a loving pet sitter!”
“I am again very pleased with the care Shiloh gets during her stay with Melanie (and her family). Photos and communication is great and allows me to enjoy my time away. If I need a sitter for puppy camp again I will definitely be rebooking with Melanie”
