“Extremely happy with the level of care and updates from John and Jess. They asked and followed all the care instructions specifically our dog required. Their house is spotless and their backyard is big, safe and well kept. We can travel with confidence knowing our dog is getting excellent care and company. Their dogs are friendly. We will use their services again. We highly recommend them.”

“This was our first time using Rover or Rene. So glad we did! Our fur babies had a great time and she sent pictures throughout their stay which we loved! I know they loved getting to have a doggy vacation without having to stay in a kennel! Thanks so much Rene! 🐾”
“Terri had great communication and we were able to do a meet and greet before the stay. She sent us great pictures and updates and would greatly recommend her to watch your pets!”
“Oliver seemed very happy staying with Marne and John. They were easy to communicate with during booking and sent photos and reports of Oliver daily while we were away. They even gave him a Christmas present and sent him home with additional Christmas treats! They allowed Oliver to snuggle with them on the couch which he loved doing! Marne and John obviously love dogs which is all you can ask for in a pet sitter!”
“Nat & Ally were excellent with my girl. They were very accepting when I needed to change the dates several times. They sent lots of pictures so I could see my girl and how comfortable she was, particularly during a thunderstorm which she hates. I will definitely be booking with them in the future!”
“Chris and Gerry are so nice, loving, and kind. My girls felt at ease while staying with them. It helps that they only take one client at a time. If you are looking for someone to love your babies like their own, look no further. Definitely book with Chris and Gerry!”

“They watched our dog for 10 days and were so friendly and accommodating. Receiving daily pictures and updates gave us complete peace of mind. We will definitely use their services again!”
“Emily was fantastic! She took the best care of Maya and Millie while we were on vacation. I told her upon meeting that I didn't need daily updates or photos, but to contact me if any issues came up. She gave perfect feedback, and I felt very confident that my dogs were having the best time on her expansive property. I would definitely book Emily again and I highly recommend her!”
“Justin was very friendly and answered all of our questions at a meet and greet where we got to meet his dogs and see the fenced in yard before we booked. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures and overall had a great first experience with Rover.”
“Once again, my puppies enjoyed their stay with Priscilla. She would always send us updates, as well as, pictures of our dogs to let us know how they were doing. Thank you!”

“Nala had a wonderful time with Erica, she can sometimes be anxy in new environments but she seemed like she was very comfortable at her place. I loved receiving pics and video updates. Erica was able to also calm my nerves as this was the first time I was leaving my dog with someone unknown. I would definitely book her again when need be in the future! ❤️”
“Anna took such great care of our German shepherd, was communicative and understanding when we had an unexpected travel change. She was more than accommodating and went above and beyond to help given our travel issue. Anna’s house is great for any dog, her dogs are very sweet and her family is awesome. I cannot recommend enough and we will book with her again 1000%”
About: I’ve mainly taken care of my own, and close family cats and dogs, but in the recent year or two I’ve helped my friend who uses rover walk dogs. I currently have full availability, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings, recurring schedules, weekends, holidays, and extended stays. I'm flexible, dependable, and committed to providing reliable, attentive care whenever your pet needs me. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and maintain a calm, secure environment. My sister has a cat who is not comfortable around unfamiliar cats, so I am unable to host cats in my home. However, I am happy to provide care for dogs or care for cats in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I will always follow your pet's routine, provide regular updates, and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own.

“Kim was AMAZING! We have such a shy cat and he warmed right up to her on day one of her drop-in visits. She left very detailed messages and great photos and I truly would not trust anyone else to watch our cat while we’re away. Highly recommend! Thank you, Kim!”
“We were very pleased with Brittany. Our 5yo Kitty Amber, is a rescue, and we've had her since January. We didn't want to leave her for a week, but our plans/reservations were made over a year ago. It was obvious that Brittany loved Amber, and from the photos she sent, Amber was very. comfortable with her. Turns out Brittany and my partner knew each other when they sang in a chorus. Everything was good all-round. We would have Brittany take of Amber again.”

“Apprehension and worry runs very high when you are giving keys to your home to a total stranger and asking them to take care of your family members. Communicating with Sophia put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my cats, but she also went above and beyond by tending to my outside animal visitors Throughout her visits, Sophia maintained clear communication, updating me regularly on how everything was going. Knowing that my pets were in such capable hands allowed me to enjoy my time away. I would highly recommend Sophia to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Her attention to detail and caring nature makes her a standout choice for anyone looking to entrust their beloved pets to someone who truly cares.”
“Shelby is amazing! We really appreciate her detailed notes from each visit. She's thorough, easy to talk to, communicative, and knowledgeable. Our babies loved her! You can tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of animals and getting to know their habits and personalities. We will continue booking her services for future cat-sitting needs for sure. Thanks, Shelby!!!”

“Nova had a great time with Renee today. Renee was responsive, shared updates throughout the day, and made scheduling very easy. She was flexible and it truly felt like she treated Nova as her own. I will definitely use Renee and her husband again.”
“John and Jess were Amazing. Arly was a great addition to their Z crew trio. She was so excited to be there and they welcomed her with open arms. I'm so glad we met and she has a new family of friends in Frederick. We will definitely be calling again soon.”
“Poppy is well loved and cared for with Darshini and Joseph. She ls always excited seeing Darshini every morning, I love how comfortable Poppy has gotten with her new pet friends as well.”
“Rene is such a thoughtful and conscientious person, I could tell when I first met her that Rene would keep our fur children safe. Our dogs are medium sized but very sensitive and don’t fair well in kennels with a lot of loud barking, hard floors, and little human contact. Our youngest gets separation anxiety and jumps fences. Rene took all of this to heart and kept our pups safe and happy. Thanks so much , Rene!”
About: ** Holiday Bookings are rolling in quickly! Check one thing off your to do list by confirming care for your fur babies! I look forward to meeting you. 🥰 ** Hi there! I’m iesha, a passionate and experienced pet lover who understands how important it is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for when you’re away. I have 20 years of experience looking after dogs, cats, and other pets, and I’m committed to providing the best care for your furry friends. I offer services such as dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight care. Whether your pet needs a fun adventure outside or a calm, relaxing stay at home, I’ll tailor my care to their needs. I love spending time outdoors, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality to give them the attention and exercise they require. I also know how important it is to keep you updated, so I’ll send you regular updates, photos, and messages to ensure you feel confident your pet is in good hands. I strive to create a positive and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or if you’d like to discuss your pet’s specific needs. I look forward to meeting your fur baby soon! I work from home and spend majority of my days home. I am available for cuddles all day or just a watchful eye. I have a small dog of my own who I take on multiple walks a day. I have a large fenced back yard and one friendly dog of my own to keep your baby company. We are a family of 4 that can provide plenty of playtime both indoors & out.
“We were so lucky to have Ellen watch our dog, Ziva! She has separation anxiety, and we were nervous about leaving her with someone new in a new environment. Ellen was so reassuring from the start, promising to take good care of her. And she absolutely did. Her sweet dog, Cleopatra, was so friendly and helped Ziva feel comfortable right away. Our first impression was unforgettable- Ziva followed Ellen, which is rare for her with someone she doesn’t know. Ellen took extra care to comfort Ziva when she was anxious and sent us picture updates that really put our minds at ease. Because of Ellen, we were able to enjoy our event without constantly checking our phones. This was such a relief, especially since we’ve had a bad experience with a previous sitter who never sent updates. Ellen went above and beyond, and we could truly feel the difference in Ziva’s comfort. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ellen, for caring for Ziva like she was your own!”
“My dog had a great time! Came home tired and exhausted, slept all night! I received status updates during the day that Made me feel super comfortable. Would definitely rip recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I love animals, as they are the most loving and authentic little beings. I’ve always had dogs and have taken care of family/friends/neighbors’ dogs when needed. I offer boarding, walks, a fenced in yard and socialization with my children and my own pets. Your pup will be in good hands and loved! My household always has an adult home for walks or ability to go out in the yard at anytime. We pop in and out on sports practice days in the evenings and for games on the weekends. Never more than 2 hours at a time. I have a large fenced in yard, can crate your pup and can offer walks, the ability to sit or lay on furniture, socialization for my kids, and socialization for my dog and other pets
About: Whether caring for my own family’s pets, or being trusted to walk, feed, and play with neighbors animals I have been taking care of all kinds of critters my whole life. From rats and cats, to chameleons and Corgi’s I’ve not met an animal I couldn’t get along with. I’ve had the pleasure of building trusting relationships with the most cautious of furry friends, and I understand the extra care needed for sick and senior animals. Every animal deserves loving caretakers they can trust and I’d love to become a part of you and your baby’s care team. I work flexible hours online from home so I have plenty of time for play dates, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day! If overnight care is needed I prefer to start the night with your little one no later than their dinner time. Please reach out if you have any questions. The trust and safety of you and your little one is my top priority. I understand building trust takes time and I take great care in respecting the physical boundaries of any animal I get to take care of. I always stay alert to potential dangers while on walks or potty breaks, can comfortably assist animals into kennels if needed, and protect any animals in my care as if the were my own. I always take the utmost care to meet your individual animals needs and know their sensitivities in order to provide the best care possible.
About: my goal is to provide the best pet, dog and cat sitting service. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding your cat or talking to your bird as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving details of caring for your cats, dogs, birds and even chickens! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one Asheville cat owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my cats as well as I do after a few short days.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and currently have Berlioz, my 6-year-old tabby, and Chibi, my 6-month-old Husky. I love giving pets the time, attention, patience, and affection they deserve. As a nurse, being responsible and attentive comes naturally to me, and I’d love to give your furry family member the same loving care I give my own! 🐶🐱❤️ I'm currently working as a full-time nurse, but I only work 3 days a week which gives me plenty of time in the rest of the week to take care of your furry pets! We live in a single family home with an unfenced backyard but in a quiet neighborhood. There's plenty of lawn space and a 10x10 ft dog pen in our backyard.
“This was Jax's first time with Nat and Ally and it was fantastic. They kept me updated most of the day with very fun-loving photos of the other dogs playing...Jax was smiling in every photo or just chillin'. The icing on the cake was the family's son handing me a drawing of Jax's name in big beautiful letters. I will definitely be sending Jax here again! :)”

I love sending photo updates of your pet doing fun things. We have a fenced yard for your pet to play in. I offer a complimentary meet and greet before your booking to become acquainted with you and your pets. This meet and greet is important to ensure I am the right fit for you and your pets. Im currently home full time so have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I am available throughout the day to check in and walk your pets and am available for boarding and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet will have freedom throughout our row home and the fenced in yard. If they prefer their space, they will have a bedroom and floor all to themselves. If they like to make friends, we have one really friendly 7lb yorkshire terrier that would love to be their new friend. Our dog is crate trained and can be kept separated based on the client’s preference.
About: Greetings! I am an experienced dog owner and pet sitter, and recently just lost my wonderful lab of 14.5 years.

I have a fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that's good for walking as well, with parks close by. We love dogs, small to large, and would be happy to host yours.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with more than 50 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds.

About: I have recently relocated to Frederick, Maryland from California after recently retiring & wanting to be closer to family <3 I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits, including senior and special-needs pets and animals requiring medications. I currently have a French Bulldog, four cats, and a rabbit of my own, so caring for multiple animals with different personalities, routines, and needs is part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding and care instructions, providing walks and enrichment, and recognizing changes in an animal’s behavior or health. I’ve also volunteered with animal shelters in both California and North Carolina. I worked as a first responder for almost 14 years, I’m dependable, trustworthy, safety-conscious, and take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pets very seriously.

I provide a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I have a fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of indoor space, including separate areas when a visiting pet needs their own quiet space away from my animals. I’m experienced with medications, senior and special-needs pets, and will closely follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions. I will treat your animals as if they were my own while I am trusted with their care.

About: I've taken care of friends, family and neighbors animals since I was about 12. Feeding, water, play. I'm more familiar with dogs and cats but I can also take care of other pets you might have including fish, hamsters and even chickens! Whether you have 1 pet or 3, need overnight care or just a walk, your pets are in great hands! I just graduated college, so this is one of the few small jobs in doing at the moment. I have gaps throughout the day, so Rover is perfect for drop ins and house sitting! I will follow the rules you have set for your household. I can crate dogs and keep them off furniture. And for those silly routines they have, I'm more than happy to give them a treat when they come back inside, say a release word for meals or stop to sniff every single tree on their walk.
“Erika had to be the best dog walker I’ve ever had. I would honestly, never want to use anyone else. I had a trip out of town that ended up having multiple flight delays and cancellations. I ended up having to extend the care last minute — she graciously worked with me on a moments notice. She was very polite and charismatic at meet and greet, took phenomenal care of Athena, was constantly quick to respond, kept me updated, sent photos, had full flexibility. She also helped work through any logistic issues efficiently and empathetically. My electronic lock to front door broke due to battery and she was at leasing office first thing, handling the situation for me. She made sure it was fixed and reassured me through my travels. She took my trash out. Left a thank you card. From start to finish she went above and beyond. It honestly felt like she treated my dog and home as her own, which is rare to find in sitters. Tremendous dog care provider. Would highly, highly recommend.”
“First would like to say great app it was my first time ever using an application like this. Second, Jennifer was great with zoro as a new puppy he is a handful, but Jennifer was able to walk and play with zoro. She was even able to clean his mess and provide water for zoro.”
“Adrienne is thoughtful and caring and very very good at communicating. This is my 3rd time leaving my dog (a somewhat demanding pug) in her care. It will certainly not be our last.”

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was a teenager. In this house we have fur babies, not pets and we take getting our daily dose of fresh air seriously.

Tell me what works best for your dog (how many walks a day and when, any quirky habits, what works best for feeding) any thing that will help me care for your baby as I care for mine.

About: HAWKINS DOES NOT LIVE WITH ME FULL TIME, HE LIVES WITH MY FATHER :) I've been a dog lover since childhood! I've been watching, walking and giving lots of love to my own dog (Hawkins) for about 3 years now! However, I was asked to walk and check-in on dogs several times in my complex and neighborhood! This happens especially in my family, as a lot of my family members have one or more dogs they ask me to take care of when they go out of town, or just need a break! I've been caring for a diverse range of breeds, from a Shih Tzu to a Golden Retriever since I was basically 10 years old! I love to work, play with dogs, and save to pay off my student loans! I'll have some availability on the weekends when I don't have class, usually starting around 12pm! There are plenty trails, parks and squares around Maryland, which will provide your dog plenty of room for extra exercise, plenty of playing, and exploring! I will happily take your dog for long walks, play with them however your living space will allow, and play with them as long as you are comfortable with in the parks!
“David did a great job with our dog and house. His prices were fair. His communications were timely. He was kind, respectful and professional. We're planning on using him again for the next dog walking job.”

“Ava was absolutely fantastic! She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the very beginning, she was communicative, punctual, and made me feel completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond by making sure my dog got plenty of exercise and attention. I highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog walker. I'll definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ava, for taking such wonderful care of my pup!”

Marne and John obviously love dogs which is all you can ask for in a pet sitter!”
“Nat & Ally were excellent with my girl. They were very accepting when I needed to change the dates several times. They sent lots of pictures so I could see my girl and how comfortable she was, particularly during a thunderstorm which she hates. I will definitely be booking with them in the future!”
“Matt was super easy to work with and took good care of our Aussie, who was hesitant to leave him when we went to pick her up! It’s so nice to find a dog sitter who works from home like we do. Highly recommend Matt.”
“They watched our dog for 10 days and were so friendly and accommodating. Receiving daily pictures and updates gave us complete peace of mind. We will definitely use their services again!”
“Emily was fantastic! She took the best care of Maya and Millie while we were on vacation. I told her upon meeting that I didn't need daily updates or photos, but to contact me if any issues came up. She gave perfect feedback, and I felt very confident that my dogs were having the best time on her expansive property. I would definitely book Emily again and I highly recommend her!”
“Justin was very friendly and answered all of our questions at a meet and greet where we got to meet his dogs and see the fenced in yard before we booked. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures and overall had a great first experience with Rover.”
“Buddy was in good hands and slept solidly after his two days of visiting. We will use Darshini and Joseph again in the near future. Thank you for taking care of our Buddy.”
“Anna took such great care of our German shepherd, was communicative and understanding when we had an unexpected travel change. She was more than accommodating and went above and beyond to help given our travel issue. Anna’s house is great for any dog, her dogs are very sweet and her family is awesome. I cannot recommend enough and we will book with her again 1000%”
About: I’ve mainly taken care of my own, and close family cats and dogs, but in the recent year or two I’ve helped my friend who uses rover walk dogs. I currently have full availability, which allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings, recurring schedules, weekends, holidays, and extended stays. I'm flexible, dependable, and committed to providing reliable, attentive care whenever your pet needs me. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and maintain a calm, secure environment. My sister has a cat who is not comfortable around unfamiliar cats, so I am unable to host cats in my home. However, I am happy to provide care for dogs or care for cats in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I will always follow your pet's routine, provide regular updates, and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own.
“5/5 Stars – Exceptional Care for Bella! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our sweet Bella during our trip. Dorian was great, responsive from the start, and he sent updates as soon as possible when I requested. Bella came home happy and relaxed. We definitely will book with him again in the future. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Dorian is your person, we highly recommend!”
About: Greetings! I am an experienced dog owner and pet sitter, and recently just lost my wonderful lab of 14.5 years. I'm experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, and everything in between, including any dog size petite to massive! I can administer medicine as well. We have a home about 4 blocks from Baker Park in a quiet neighborhood that is good for walks, and we have a fully fenced in backyard as well. I work from home M-F 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. Occasionally I may step out for dinner with my wife or friends. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. My schedule is fairly flexible during working hours, so I can take our furry friend out for many breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that's good for walking as well, with parks close by. We love dogs, small to large, and would be happy to host yours.
“Linda is an amazing petsitter and I'll definitely be using her again for my Maggie. While I was away, she sent me multiple updates about how my girl was doing daily. When I went to pick her up, I could tell how much her entire family enjoyed having her at their house and how much Maggie enjoyed being with them. Having Maggie stay with Linda definitely allowed me to enjoy my time away more fully as I felt confident that she was in caring hands.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and currently have Berlioz, my 6-year-old tabby, and Chibi, my 6-month-old Husky. I love giving pets the time, attention, patience, and affection they deserve. As a nurse, being responsible and attentive comes naturally to me, and I’d love to give your furry family member the same loving care I give my own! 🐶🐱❤️ I'm currently working as a full-time nurse, but I only work 3 days a week which gives me plenty of time in the rest of the week to take care of your furry pets! We live in a single family home with an unfenced backyard but in a quiet neighborhood. There's plenty of lawn space and a 10x10 ft dog pen in our backyard.
“Sandra is the best! She is attentive and kind and truly cared for our dog Cooper. He had a great time roaming her beautiful yard and we wouldn’t leave him with anyone else!”
“Mandie was wonderful and helped us with a six day stay with very short notice. Communication was perfect with quick responses and frequent updates with pictures. We definitely recommend Mandie and will surely be back!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have lots of experience caring for them. I regularly dog sit for neighbors, family friends, and people I know, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, longer stays, and administering medication when needed. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them plenty of attention, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work as a teacher’s assistant at a middle school during the school year. I’m available for pet care in the mornings before work and am home around 4 PM, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and attention in the afternoons and evenings. My weekends are generally free and give me additional flexibility for longer visits and overnight stays. I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a clean, tidy, and quiet one-bedroom apartment that’s welcoming to dogs, with plenty of space for them to relax! I’ll take the time to get to know your dog, follow their normal routine, and give them lots of attention and care. My goal is for them to feel comfortable with me and enjoy their time while you’re away!
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for years. I previously worked at a veterinary hospital, where I cared for pets in a kennel setting and assisted with appointments, giving me experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and also currently furthering my vet med education. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am a stay at home (expecting) mom, and my schooling is also done at home. You can rest assured knowing that your fur baby will get constant attention and affection I have ample house space and yard space for your fur baby. I also make walks apart of my daily habit so you can rest assured knowing your baby will get all the exercise they could dream of
