“As always, Kuzco had the time od his life with Rachel and Jason. They're so good with him, it allows me to breath a little easier as a first time pawrent. Thank you!”
“We had such a great experience! Our puppy came home soooo happy after our week long trip. Sandra provided frequent updates with pictures which we appreciated immensely! I also loved that she took the time to understand my puppy’s temperament to make sure she would be a good fit. We will definitely be back and highly recommend her care. Thank you Sandra!”
“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!”
“My pups are a handful, especially together. Puppy energy is unmatched with them. Rene did not complain and was super patient with them as I’m sure they were a handful for her. Went out of state for 2 days and when I picked them back up they were happy and healthy. Great job!”
“Samantha was great! I went on a 8 day trip and she made sure to give me daily updates about my dog and how he was doing and even gave him a toy he was always playing with. She was very accommodating and understanding when my flight got delayed and Chase had to stay an extra night. Chase loves going over there and will definitely be back soon! Thank you so much 😊”
“My pups had a great time with Adrienne, who accommodated us last minute. Our pups are high anxiety and they settled in quickly and happily for a couple of nights at her place. She’s great about providing the amount of updates you feel comfortable with, and was thoughtful with how she prepared for their stay. I would definitely recommend!”
“Our dog loved her stay with Lily! She especially loved the big fenced backyard and playing with Lily’s Pomeranian Ted. Lily was wonderful about sending us updates and lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Lily and we are so happy that we found a home away from home for our dog!”
“Linda took great care of our two dogs (lab and goldador)! She sent lots of pictures and they looked very happy in every picture. They also seemed like they had a great time when we came to pick them up. Linda was very responsive and easy to communicate with.”
“We were so lucky Priscila was able to accommodate a last minute emergency stay! My return flight home was also cancelled and she was so gracious about my puppy needing an extra day of care. I really appreciate her so much!”
“We were so lucky to find Nancy to help with our dog! She kept us updated with information and pictures. We felt very comfortable with our dog in Nancy’s care and will happily bring our girl back for another stay!”
“Renee always so loving to our dog Lily. She offers plenty of opportunities for play and cuddles. I recieve frequent updates and Lily always seemed to be right at home! Love that she has experience with pet sitting and it very aware of each individual dog in her care! :)”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Tara provided for my husky, Rocky! Huskies can be a handful, but she handled him perfectly — keeping him exercised, happy, and well-loved while she was boarding him. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, Rocky was calm, clean, and clearly well cared for.”
“Ashoka and his amazing son watched our toy poodle for several days. I am so impressed at the love and attention they gave our dog . Several walks a day, cuddling, and sleeping together. I will always use them when away!”
“My 14 y o dog has never been happier! Received pictures daily and he was smiling throughout. Best accommodations ever. The family is extremely nice and the boys even drew a picture of the happy dog. I’m already booking another date. So happy to have found them!”
“BEST DOG SITTER EVER!! Toby is our first puppy and our "baby" since our kids are grown. We were hesitant to leave him with someone we didn't know but Jill answered all of our questions in our "meet and greet". It was very important to us that she only takes one dog at a time so that our puppy would get the care and attention that he was used to receiving. Well, Toby had the time of his life for the 3 days he stayed with Jill and her 9 year old lab - Buddha. Buddha became Toby's "big brother" and played with him constantly. Jill provided consistent loving attention to Toby at all times. She kept us updated regularly with texts and pictures of Toby and Buddha playing. We could not have imagined we would have found someone as amazing as Jill! We will continue to use her again and again in the future and recommend her to our friends. PS -- Toby seems to be missing Jill and Buddha -- it was like he was on his own special vacation!!”
“We had a great experience with Jennifer starting with the meet and greet and early communication, and we our expectations were exceeded with our 2 year old pup's weekend stay. We were given daily updates and photos, and could tell when we picked him up that he was well cared for and happy. She is very detail oriented and cares about your pet's personal needs! Felt very comfortable leaving him. Will definitely use her again :)”
“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.”

“We have a very shy kitty who always hides for other sitters, but she came out to see Kim on her first visit! It is a testament to Kim’s calm, loving, and patient demeanor. We couldn’t be happier with the wonderful service Kim provided.”
“Shelby was such a pleasure to work with on short notice. She took excellent care of my boys and even got my scaredy cat to come out of hiding. Highly recommend and would definitely work with her again!”
“Sarah did an excellent job taking care of my cats while I was away in a work trip. She was very good about communicating and responded to any questions or concerns I had. Will definitely book her again when I travel!”
“Rose took excellent care of our pets while away for 5 days. She checked in daily with pictures and traveled up our long driveway in not so great muddy conditions due to all the melting snow. Thank you Rose!”
“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.”
“Anhelika was great! She’s a very experienced pet caretaker and was super sweet to work with. She was flexible with our needs and was willing to bring in our packages and take out the trash. Thanks for your help Anhelika! Would absolutely book again.”
“Cassidy was very attentive to Baxter, I loved the photo updates and notes on his activities! She was respectful of my apt rules and Bax seemed happy. I would absolutely book her again in the future.”
“Delores was absolutely incredible! She took great care to gain the trust of my typically timid kitten, Dixie, and was even able to (repeatedly) help get her collar back on when Dixie had accidentally pulled it off. Delores was consistently easy to contact, exceptionally patient with the cats, and overall a wonderful pet sitter. She made leaving my pets home alone for the first time completely stress free, and I will definitely be asking her to watch Maisie and Dixie again in the future!”
“Kristy was amazing with our cats!! She sent the best updates each visit and pictures. It was our first time leaving them all together alone and we felt so at peace knowing how well they were being taken care of. We trust her completely with our babies and will definitely be booking with her next time we go away if she is available! Thank you, Kristy!!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Lauren! She was prompt, communicative, and even stopped by before our trip to meet us and the cats, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly and sent us daily updates with plenty of photos of the cats (and their food!), which we really appreciated while we were away. She also made sure to spend quality time playing with them. It’s clear how much she truly loves animals. We came home to two very happy cats! We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to any family and friends. Thank you, Lauren!”
“Claire is a great and conscientious pet care-giver. She gave me regular updates and was always quick to respond if I had questions. I have already booked her for another visit.”
“Well Ms. Mo did it again - she is a cat whisperer, we are convinced! Our two boys love her so much that they end up saying “Ms. Mo” instead of “Meow” when we return from a vacation. We schedule our trips around her schedule because we don’t want to have to think about having anyone else care for our fur children. Thank you Ms. Maureen for always going above and beyond, we are very grateful we found you. ❤️🐱”
“Leslie was amazing with my cats while I was away for a week. She was always punctual and sent me daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my cats were well cared for, and I came home to happy pets. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!”
“Ryan was great with Theo and Gus while we were away. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which made it a lot easier to relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. It was clear he gave them plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When we got home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and acting completely like themselves. We'd definitely trust Ryan to watch them again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Hillary took excellent care to my cats while I was out of town. She was able to fix some issues with my automatic litter box while I was away and even thoughtfully brought in the mail so it didn’t pile up. I recommend anyone in the area and will be reaching out to her again whenever I will be out of town.”

“Jennifer is delightful! Sami clearly loves her. I feel very confident when Sami stays with Jennifer. Jennifer always sends me pictures and updates during Sami’s visits. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Sandra is so nice and she was such a great fit for Cooper and our family!! We appreciate her so much, she’s so kind. Everyday she sent us pictures of our lab having so much fun with other dogs and her chihuahua. We are definitely going to book her again!!!”
“Ellen is wonderful and very reliable. Warm and friendly. My girls had a good time and even met some new friends. I would definitely recommend Ellen as a dependable pet sitter.”
“So glad I found Renee, I was recommended to her by two people. My puppy has not been away from us since we got her and I was nervous leaving her. Renee made sure to give her space so she can figure it out. My puppy was shy at first but then started making friends. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. My friends and family rely on me for dog sitting when away, and my lab loves all other dogs! I currently work from home and don’t travel much on weekends. So I have time to walk, play, and take care of other pups. I take my lab out every 4 hours for a nice long walk, and we love going to dog parks and hiking if that’s something your pup likes to do as well! I’m in an apartment so walks are my go to for my lab. We go out every 4 hours or so, with a long walk in the morning before breakfast, a long walk at lunch, and a long walk in the evening. In between that, I have lots of toys for dogs to play with and will provide lots of love and pets!
“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! :)”
“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!”
“I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Christina! My dog Theodore absolutely loves going to her home—his tail starts wagging the moment we pull up. It’s such a comfort to know he’s spending the day in a warm, loving, and safe environment. Christina is incredibly kind, welcoming, and flexible. She genuinely cares for the dogs she watches, and it shows in every interaction. I'm so glad we found someone we trust completely with our fur baby. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel and Jason were great! I provided Rachel with a list of things we do to train our puppy and she was so helpful, she helped us with reinforcing his training. I have already booked a future stay for Kuzco with them. Hr had a blast.”
“OUTSTANDING CARE for my dog with severe isolation anxiety! Nancy is AMAZING!!! She was such a sincerely loving caregiver for Maverick. He loved returning to her place. He was excited to go into her place and received outstanding care and companionship the entire weekend he spent with her. She has a great park and dog park within walking distance that he thoroughly loved. HIGHLY recommend Nancy & look forward to when Maverick gets to spend time with her again!”
About: Hi, my name is Adrienne. My husband Nick and I live in a row home in downtown Frederick. I am an animal lover and will treat your pets like my own! I have been providing pet sitting services for friends and families for over 20 years. And for over 16 years, I raised dogs from puppy to adulthood. I volunteer at humane societies and have experience carrying for dogs with medical and special needs. No breed or size is off limits. I have a lot of experience with small dogs. I have used rover as a pet parent and strive to be the best sitter for you. I will provide daily updates via phone, text, or email depending on your preferences. 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 working part 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 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.
“She was very attentive to our pup and sent us lots of pictures and videos. It made us feel like he was right at home and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worries. So grateful!”
“Emily is a wonderful, intuitive care person for dogs. She has two dogs of her own and a couple of other dogs that board with her. I have a non-altered female and she cares for a non-altered male. I won't be back because of that, but no fault of Emily's.”
“Arlene welcomed us into her lovely home and we immediately sensed that Sky was in a safe and loving place. It was evident throughout our contacts during the day that Sky was content and receiving good care. We highly recommend Arlene’s services for doggie daycare and will use her again when visiting the New Bern area.”
“Marne, Bailey, and her family welcomed Leah last minute. Even though we both prefer meet and greets, they opened their doors to Leah for a full 10-hr daycare. They alsl addressed all my questions before booking, and before and after daycare. Loved, loved, loved the full communication between us about Leah's day and took great care of all Leah's need in a very structured manner. Based on the report card, leah had a blast with them. As a first time customer to them, I'm beyond happy to call them my first official dog sitters in their area, especially since I move all the time around the District of Columbia and the surrounding states. Thank you so much! We'll see you again!”

“I really like Kassidy. She has given me confidence that my older dog is well cared for when I can’t be there. I would recommend her to anyone needing care for their beloved pets.”
About: I have raised my own dog since she was ten weeks old, mentored by my father who has raised three litters of puppies throughout his life. I have also done pet-sitting for friends and family for dogs as small as beagle puppies to as large as a Labrador. I am a Graduate student, but I manage to take six- mile walks every morning year-round. As my classes are in the evening, I can fit dog-walking into my schedule in the mornings and early afternoons. I am attentive and responsible for my pets needs, and take pride in ensuring that the animals I care for are happy and healthy. I have a nine-year-old mixed breed dog who enjoys her daily walks and sunbathing on the deck, but does not enjoy the company of other dogs very much.
“Highly recommend! She’s super friendly and really went above and beyond to take care of my dog! She kept us informed and was very understanding. Thank you so much!”
“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.”
“Samantha is the best! She's been our dog walker since January, several walks a week! She's professional, courteous, punctual, caring, and attentive. Most importantly, our husky, Merida, is in great hands & one happy dog! -Alyssa & Jim Young”
About: Cats, dogs, critters and reptiles welcome! I have a wide experience of cats and dogs of all ages, from babies to seniors. Rodents, lizards, turtles are also something I’m familiar with! I’ve always had pets in my house growing up. I’ve fostered kittens and volunteered at local animal shelters. I have experienced bottle feedings, house breaking, and senior dogs and handle them all with ease and love. I am currently running my family business and spend most of my weekdays day at home. This allows my weekdays to have flexibility and availability to pet parents who work during the day. My home is located in downtown Frederick and I also have a fenced in backyard. I can easily get to many areas of Frederick quickly and with ease. My pets at home are friendly and welcome guests! We have fostered cats and often have other dogs visit.
“Maegan did a great job with our dogs! It was comforting to know they were being loved on and walked while we attended an out of town event. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”

“Words cannot express my satisfaction having Annette look after Axel. Learning of her experience with fosters it was a no brainer to book with her. My experience dropping off and picking up, seeing her interact with my boy and hearing how she handled situations with him, solidified she will be my go to sitter. It was wonderful peace of mind to know Axel would be taken care of in a lovely home environment.”
