“Sophia provides outstanding dog care! We were very pleased with how should took such great care of our dog and highly recommend her. She offers great communication and is eager to know how she can provide the best care for your pup.”
“Ivan did a great job taking care of our dogs Hank and Duke. They both have a lot of energy and Ivan made sure they got the exercise they needed on a daily basis. Ivan was kind enough to send pictures of the dogs to us on a daily basis while we were away. They always looked happy and entertained. We can't thank Ivan enough for the care and attention he showed our dogs. We would definitely use him again.”
“This was Rui’s second stay with James and Mary. Mary and James take such great care of our boy when we are out of town. Rui loves them and looks forward to staying with them.”
“Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!”
“Marylee was wonderful. Our girls loved going there. She has a wonderful LARGE back yard that the dogs loved. I have moved out of the area so unfortunately, we can't use her anymore, but if we were close enough, we certainly would.”
“Maria and Fernando took care of Joe for two nights while we were out of town. They did a wonderful job letting us know how Joe was doing. They were responsive and very easy to work with. We’ll definitely use their boarding services again in the future. We had to drag Joe to the car since he didn’t want to leave Maria and Fernando!”
“Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.”
“Nancy was super responsive, sent multiple updates daily and overall did a great job taking care of Pepper and Gouda. She adapted to their regular routines and quirks! They came home happy and exhausted, the sign of a fantastic stag!”
“What a great family and home. Curtis and Lindsay are amazing people who took great care of our two crazy pups. The open communication throughout the booking process, welcoming home, and updates of photos and videos was beyond our expectations. We will definitely use Curtis and Lindsay in the future if they’ll have our two again.”
“I felt very at ease leaving Diesel with Frances! Diesel had plenty of safe space to play and went for walks. He went on a short trip to Belle Island. Frances also gave him his daily medicine. And I loved the picture she sent me. With her background I was pretty sure she could handle my guy. I will definitely recommend Frances to others. Diesel looks forward to staying again with his new buddy! ”
“Mindy has been great! We are getting tired of commercial daycare places where your dog spends 90% of the day in a kennel by themselves. We were looking for a person who takes care of dogs in their own home where they can be out and about with other dogs. Our dog is always excited to go to Mindy's and she is always tired when she gets home which is perfect! Thanks again Mindy!”
About: Trusted by family and friends to provide attentive pet care, including feeding, exercise, medication, companionship, and maintaining pets’ routines while owners were away, not to mention caring for my own 2 adorable and loving Goldens I’m available for boarding on the weekends, I typically fill my schedule with dog walks around the neighborhood and playing fetch outside in our backyard to give them lots of exercise, during the summer while my teen is home we can provide weekday boarding as well with lots of attention and play while I am at work. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are treated like members of the family. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being while maintaining a calm, stress-free environment. I have two friendly resident dogs that can provide companionship for social pets. If your dog prefers their own space or you request separation, I can comfortably keep them apart throughout their stay.
“I would not hesitate to recommend Yuhui to anyone. Chester had a wonderful time with her! She is super attentive and takes great care of my dog. This was my first time booking Yuhui, and we are already looking forward to having Chester stay with her again when we are out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Alonni was an incredibly attentive sitter. She kept my Ollie simulated with long walk and toys. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures which comes to my heart at ease. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Bianca was a wonderful sitter. I knew the moment I met her that my pooch was in good hands which put me at ease. My dog takes time to warm up to people but he was well acquainted with Bianca so quickly. She provided frequent updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her in photos. When I picked my dog up he was crying when she left and was searching for her. I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet.”
“Cameron did an amazing job with Zeke! I will absolutely be using him again. He was responsive, sent photos, kept me updated. I could not have asked for a better Rover. A plus is that Zeke was totally wiped after spending a few days at Cameron's place. Cameron has a huge backyard which Zeke took full advantage of! Thanks again, Cameron.”
“My two French bulldogs made themselves right at home with Piero and his family. They treated my doggos with great care and attention. It was also a huge plus that someone was always home with my girls. Piero was great with sending pictures and keeping me updated. It was super easy and I will be using him again to watch my dogs. 100 percent recommend - a wonderful sitter!”
“Huey took wonderful care of Ziggy. She is great to work with - good communication, daily videos/photos, and you can tell she really loves caring for the animals. Will be booking her again soon!”

“Rebecca was very professional when she communicated with us. She sent me pictures and described what she did during the visit. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Rebecca check on our cats again when we’re away.”
“We were very pleased with Ryan's care of our 3 cats. They had playtime and love, plus Ryan followed our instructions to the letter. We came home to a tidy house, which we appreciated. Thanks, Ryan!”
“Rene was lovely. She was kind, timely, responsive, and I very much trusted her with my cat. My cat was a brat, and she was very sweet about the situation. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
“Ashley was amazing with our cat sitting needs. Taking time to check food and water as well as changing out the litter box. She even took care of the plants that were in need of some water love during the heat!”
“As always, Nicole was super friendly and professional. She gave our little diva cat all the attention she needed and we were very happy Nicole was available. This is our 2nd booking with Nicole and we would gladly rebook in the future.”

“We’ve booked Alex to watch our senior cat 3 times, and can’t recommend her enough. She’s very responsive and takes excellent care of our pet while we’re away. We will continue use her.”
“When we returned for vacation, I noticed that my dog was well-trained. It seems that I not only hired a pet sitter but also a pat trainer. My neighbor informed me of her exceptional skills with my dog. Now they like to have her as pat sitter as well. She was very responsive and on time every time”
“Stephanie is the absolute best cat/house-sitter ever! Since I booked Stephanie on Rover last year, she’s my first (and only) call I make for pet care. I fully trust her with my kitties and my home, and you should, too :)”
“Destiny was such a lifesaver over the holidays. She took our booking on very short notice after our other pet sitter cancelled, and provided excellent care to our cat. She sent tons of pictures and updates each day as well. Would absolutely recommend Destiny to anyone!”
“She took care of my Kitties last minute, and one of them I adopted a week ago and they weren't quite on hospitable terms yet. She allowed them to interact gently while being ready to separate in case of throwing paws. She also followed special feeding directions for my elderly cat who needs stuff mixed in and her pate in an extra soupy mash.”
“Julia was great - she is very responsive and detail-orientated. The cats knocked over a photo frame during our trip and she cleaned up the glass for us because she knew it would be a hazard for their little paws. Great cat sitter, definitely plan to hire Julia again!”
“Regina is such a great house and pet sitter. She takes the best care of our senior cat while we’re away, even for long periods of time! I recommend Regina for your pet sitting needs!”
“Brooke did fantastic taking care of my cats while I was away! She made sure to keep me updated with pictures and messages of how they were doing. They loved their play time and treats while mom was away :) Thank you Brooke!”
“Ameneh was so easy to work with! She provided great daily updates on our loves as well as an unexpected update on our home- a neighbors tree fell and blocked our driveway! Our little loves were well cared for and I will definitely look to book her again!”
“Kristen is awesome! She took great care of my senior kitty and sent lots of pictures all weekend! Will definitely book with her again in the future and I highly recommend her services.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Annapolis Rock
“Israel took such great care of my puppy! They sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. They kept me informed about how he was doing, responded quickly to my messages, and were incredibly friendly. It was clear that my puppy was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with Israel again and highly recommend them!”
“Maverick already loves his “grandparents” so much. We really appreciated the updates and pictures. He only did a day care day so far, but he was exhausted from his great day. We knew he was in great hands and are happy to have caring sitters for the future!”
“We booked day care with Francine super last minute and she accepted a same day request (on Christmas Eve!!) Our dog had a great time with their 2 dogs, running around in their fenced in back yard and chilling in the house. We would strongly recommend booking with Francine!”
“Josh and Andres took such amazing care of our Dachshund, Skye. They sent regular pictures and updates throughout the day. Will 100% book Skye in with them again- thank you”
“Caden is an incredible sitter. He kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy started off shy, and Caden knew exactly how to support him — even hand‑feeding him to make sure he ate despite being nervous. His home is welcoming, and his mom is just as sweet and attentive with the dogs. I highly recommend him and will definitely book again. 10/10.”
“Chuy seemed to have a wonderful time at his evening with Oyindamola! When I picked him up he looked so happy and said goodbye to her at least 3 times. 😊 She was very kind and helped him feel comfortable when he was a little nervous at first. I highly recommend!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time at Ming's. We received lots of great photos and videos throughout the day, and he was very prompt upon our drop-off and return. Our pup came home tired and happy!”
“Yuhui took great care of Miso, played with her, and gave Miso a lot of attention. She gave us a detailed report on what Miso did during her time there and took her out on multiple walks. Miso enjoyed spending her time there.”
“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”
“Sriju is a wonderful person. She gives fantastic care to my dog when Daisy stays on Wednesdays. I'm very happy to have found Sriju. I know my dog will be well cared for when I'm at work. 🐶🤗”
“We have used Sophia twice now for daytime services and each time, our dog came home safe and happy. It's obvious Sophia has a lot of experience with pet care and gives me confidence in her ability to keep our dog happy. Sophia responds quickly to texts and provides pictures. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sophia to any pet parent. In fact, we already have Sophia booked for a long term stay while we go on vacation.”
About: I've been caring for my 4 cats on a daily basis for a decade. In addition, I dog sit overnight for my partner every couple of weeks. I work from home, so leaving in the middle of the day is rather simple. In fact it's a nice change of scenery to get outside and be with a cute animal 🥰 I unfortunately can't care for pets in my home as my cats run the joint. But I love meeting new animals, playing with them, and getting out!

“She is the BEST!! Can't imagine what could have done without her in this weather. Every morning Chico waits for her. She is always on time and flexible. We love her!!”
“Ryan was wonderful. I can tell she really loves animals and cares about her job. She followed through with everything that I requested her to do. She had no problem at all walking both of my dogs at the same time - which can be challenging! I hope to use her again but from what I understand she goes away to college soon and will return to Maryland for holidays and when her school has breaks.”
“Julia did a great job with Oakley! She took for a nice long walks and he seemed super happy in the pictures she shared. She had good communication and I would definitely used her again.”
“Rosie is awesome! She loves and cares for my dog Stormi every single day! She definitely makes me feel calm and worry-free knowing my dog is getting a great walk, extra play, and love!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. For the past 11 months, I’ve worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My job has taught me how to safely handle group play, recognize canine body language, administer basic care, and ensure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾
“Sophia was fantastic! She has a soothing and calm presence that put both Nuka and I at ease. Care instructions were followed faithfully and I can tell my doggo had a great time. I highly recommend Sophia and hope to book Nuka with her again next time we travel.”
“Destiny continues to care for Tucker in such a kind, positive and professional manner. Her communication is always detailed and her attention to care details, impressive!”
“Just in the few walks we've scheduled with Lin, I can already tell she's the best dog walker we've ever had. Our dog looks forward to their walks together! I've also noticed how much better our dog walks on leash with us - she's not pulling as much.”
“If you have a large dog Wydia is the person for you. Kiato misses me and hubby something awful when we travel and Wydia went above and beyond. We also had the storm Debbie come through while we were on vacation and she modified walks around the storm. She even did some longer walks to let him really get some exercise and walk with a dog friend. She even brushed his coat several times as it is blow out season. I will be using Wydia again!! If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Stephanie loves dogs!! It’s evident in the way she treats our Paige. She treats Paige like her own pup. We had a need for a walker years ago and I’m so very grateful we hooked up with her recently. We are so lucky. I highly recommend her.”
“I have been extremely satisfied with the dog walking services provided by Cornell over the past months. He has consistently demonstrated exceptional reliability, arriving punctually for every scheduled walk and maintaining clear communication throughout our arrangement. His genuine care for my dogs has been evident in the detailed updates and photos he shared after each outing, ensuring they received attentive, safe, and engaging exercise. I highly recommend his professional and trustworthy services to any pet owner seeking a dependable dog walker.”
“Jaeda arrived on time for both the meet and greet and dog walk. She’s personable and took the time to get to know my pup a little better. She asked good questions about her habits and temperament. She was respectful of my home and pup!”

“Mindy has been great! We are getting tired of commercial daycare places where your dog spends 90% of the day in a kennel by themselves. We were looking for a person who takes care of dogs in their own home where they can be out and about with other dogs. Our dog is always excited to go to Mindy's and she is always tired when she gets home which is perfect! Thanks again Mindy!”

“Evvery was wonderful with our dogs. We knew that she would have another dog with her and wanted to test our foster dog in that situation. She met us outside and took all 3 dogs on a walk until they acclimated. We received several videos and pictures of how they were getting along. Other sitters may skip out on that last walk before the dogs are picked up but Everry kept to the schedule. I highly recommend her and will use her in the future.”
“Our fur-baby Charley looked like he enjoyed his stay with Terry and Shep. Because they provided daily updates, pictures, and videos we could see he was happy and content. I would highly recommend Terry and Shep to anyone looking for a pet sitter. They have a very nice house and yard so we felt very comfortable leaving Charley there. We can not thank them enough for taking such excellent care of Charley and reducing our anxiety due to leaving him with "strangers". We will definitely be reaching out to them again when we need a pet sitter.”
“Raghavi and her family were great. From the start, they made sure to get to know Archie and understand his needs, and Archie was very comfortable with the family as well as their dog, Simba. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care your pet like their own, I highly recommend Raghavi!”
