“Veronica did an excellent job with my pup Noah. I appreciate the pre-stay visit to meet her and her husband, it gave Noah a chance to sniff around and get comfortable in their home. When I dropped him off for his stay, he wasn’t nervous at all. Veronica is definitely a dog lover, and she took care of my little guy just like he was one of her own pups. Lots of socialization and play time, Lots of human love, Lots of update pictures and texts. I will definitely use her services again when traveling!”
“First, thank you for taking care of Asher you really treat him as your own. For all the updates and pictures that they sent my little boy really enjoyed and had fun during his stay. Definitely will book them again in the future. They were really a star sitter.”

“From the moment Peyton toddled into their home, she was loved. Liz, Jeffrey, and family, are a wonderful stop for any four-legged when you can't do it yourself. I don't think mine wanted to leave when I arrived to pick her up. Peyton can't wait to visit again. Many thanks!”

“Mocha has found her home away from home! We are so pleased with the care our girl Mocha received with Nicole and her family. After seeing the pics and updates, my son was afraid Mocha would not want to come home with us! She was loved and treated as a part of their family. I have already asked if it would be ok to become a repeat client. Best choice ever!!!!”

“Steven's tagline couldn't be more true, because he DOES care. He took care of Rosie like she was his own. Steven is professional, thorough, responsive and willing to give much-appreciated advice. All of which is all too rare these days, in my opinion.”

“This was my first time using Rover for my grand pup, and I was nervous. But the moment I met Robin, her energy immediately put me at ease. She was incredibly responsive and even sent pictures and videos without me asking—she already knew what I needed! The best part? My grand pup ran right into her home like she had been there before. No hesitation at all. That’s when I knew I chose the right provider.”

“So thankful to have found Kelly and George to take care of our fur baby Riley when we are away. They are super nice people and love how they share pictures and stories to us when we are away.”

“Erin is wonderful! She is so friendly and we trust her completely to take good care of Gracie our mini Goldendoodle. We have already rebooked her while I recover from knee replacement surgery.”


“Felice and her family were wonderful, and took such great care of our two little dogs! I could tell they had a good time from the photos I received. I would not hesitate leaving our dogs in her care again. Excellent experience!!!”

“Alexis was great! She accommodated a last minute request and was super kind and flexible. She is very timely with communications and the doggie bag she gave was such a nice thought! We would absolutely use her again.”

“Amazing! - Our dog stayed for a little over 2 weeks and we consistently received updates and proactive communication. We had to add a few days and it worked with scheduling. Thanks so much, will send her back!!”

“Junie comes back happy and healthy! We received lots of great pictures of her walks and hangout time with dog friends. Julia is quick to respond to messages and knows a lot about dog behavior.”

“Hugo loved his stay with Melissa and her pups! I could tell because he didn’t want to go home. Melissa is definitely a dog person as Hugo adapted to her immediately, this was his first stay. Will definitely rebook with Melissa!”

“Brittanie & Ryan were amazing! I had never used this service before and was a bit nervous. They were great and explained how it worked, and I met them before booking to make sure it was a good fit for all of us. It really was!! I could tell they took care of my dog as well as their own. They sent pictures throughout the week and texted back right away with any questions that I had. I can’t thank them enough and would definitely recommend them 100%! What a wonderful family and they loved Lucky and he was so happy with them and their family.”

“She took amazing care of my Toto. She is by far the best sitter I’ve ever had, and I would absolutely trust her with my dog again in the future. I’m truly grateful.”

“This was my first time with Deivy and it was great ! My sweet Kaina was happy and felt at home. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation out of town. I would definitely use him again !”

“Tabitha was great. We were leaving our kitties for the first time ever, and it was for over a week, so I was feeling pretty anxious. Tabitha put me at ease from our first meeting. She was communicative, timely, and did everything we needed. Very appreciative of her!”


“Anna was amazing! They took great care of my boys who both have their own medical needs. Anna was super accommodating to everything we asked of them and sent us phenomenal pictures of our cats while we were away! 10 out of 10, would book with them again! <3”


“Helen was amazing! I'm so glad I found her on Rover. She responded to my initial query quickly and with a friendly and professional demeanor. She offered to come by and meet my cats and receive care instructions and was very easy to schedule with. Throughout the process, before during and after my trip out of town, she responded quickly to all my texts and was very kind about my nervousness about leaving my cats at home alone together for an extended period for the first time, providing plenty of reassurance and listening to all instructions with care. She sent great text and photo updates with each visit and followed all the care instructions to the letter and exactly on time for each visit, and she treated my home with care while she was here. I could not have asked to find a better sitter! I will definitely reach back out to her for all my future pet-sitting needs.”


“Victoria is amazing!! She is always on time and gives detailed feedback of the visit along with great pictures of our cats. One of our cats is very shy (will not come out for almost any visitor) and she comes out for Victoria every time. This is a huge indicator that Victoria is amazing with animals and that animals love her!”

“Amanda is everything we look for in a sitter. She is an amazing communicator—she asks questions and makes it clear she heard what we want done. Every time she checks in she goes through the check list and she does it all. I trust Amanda and 100%. Thank you Amanda for peace of mind and great care of our kitties!”


“Melissa is phenomenal! I cannot say enough great things about the service she provides to my cat! It's nice to be able to go out of town and completely trust her as my pet sitter.”


“Madison did an excellent job of taking care of Luna! Since meeting her, she has been a delight to know. She even went above and beyond when I locked myself out of the house right before I left. She also washed all the food bowls! It is my hope that Madison will take care of Luna whenever I have to be away in the future.”


“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
“Jessica was FANTASTIC with our two cats while we were away! She came on time every time, and always sent amazing photos. The cats are super happy and everything is as it should be. Would absolutely hire Jessica again!”


“Esther is amazing! So communicative and responsive and always keeps us in the loop. Sends amazing photos and goes above and beyond what is expected in terms of looking out for our cats and our home. Our kitties seem to love her and we definitely do too! Hope she keeps coming back to us 🥰”


“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”

“Fallon is amazing! She is so great with my cat. She provides very detailed updates & sends cute pictures. I never have to worry when she is taking care of my baby! I highly recommend Fallon’”

“Kathleen was a lifesaver. We were away for a day trip and had scheduled her to walk our dog mid-day. While we were on the trip we had an emergency that made it impossible for us to get home to walk and feed our dog that evening as planned. Kathleen was quick to respond and helped us out last-minute for a second visit the same day.”


“Keira did a fantastic job with our shy cats. I felt confident that they were looked after and taken care of Keira will be the first one I call for out of town trips in the future.”

We truly appreciate all your help. We’ll definitely hire you again in the future as our pet sitter. You’ve done an outstanding job!”

“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.”


“Sausage had another wonderful time with Veronica, Caleb and their fur family. I recently found out that Harper, the matriarch of Veronica’s pick of Westies, has taken a special interest in Sausage and is very protective of him. Makes me feel so reassured to know that I’m addition to Veronica and Caleb’s watchful eyes, Sausage has Harper looking after him too. 4 paws way up!!!”

“My dog had a wonderful time at Brittanie and Ryan’s. They have two lovely labs and my dog had a great time playing with them. She was tired and happy when she came home. I would definitely recommend them for doggie daycare.”

“Camden came home and within 15 minutes he was asleep. So much playing and fun! Francine takes care of dogs like she does her own. We are always confident Camden will be happy with Francine. ❤️”

“This was Teddy’s 3rd time with Susan. It gives me peace of mind to know he is well cared for by her. She is great with communication, and I can tell Teddy is comfortable with her.”

“Jeremy was great! We had to make changes to the reservation, and he was very responsive and made changes quickly. He also did a fantastic job watching Indi, and he provided a lot of picture updates. Thanks for doing such a great job with our dog!”

“**By: Ggamang** Moving from the West Coast to the East Coast was a huge adjustment for me—new smells, new parks, and a lot of nerves. I wasn't sure I'd find a new "person" out here, but I’m so glad we found Kyury. Kyury is patient, reliable, and made me feel at home right away. It’s a huge relief for my parents to have someone they can truly trust while we settle into our new life on this coast. Whether we’re out on a walk or just hanging out, I always have the best time. If you need a sitter who genuinely cares, Kyury is the best! **5/5 Wags!**”


About: This young adult is filled with energy, patience and love! I have owned a dog since I was a child and tried to open a mini petting rescue zoo in my moms barn . It worked until I had to actually adult and pay my own bills . I love giving one in one attention and healthy treats . My availability is flexible due to working around my human patients . I value bedside mannerisms and do believe they don’t just apply to two legged friends. I have been known for my cautious and preventative decision making skills ! My temperament is easy going but firm because if not, all paws will break loose! Seriously , I would have 100 dogs at home if possible. I am currently working part time and from home . I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and love deserving ! I have a mini fenced in area in my back yard that my own pup adores. It is just enough space to get the job done and provide leg room. I live in walking distance to three huge parks, and on leash we will have a wonderful time.
“Liz and Jeffery were amazing sitters for my sweet Sadie. I was in the area for work and found them to watch my dog during the day. They went above and beyond to make sure that Sadie was comfortable and well taken care of while I was at work. They truly treated Sadie like she was part of their own family. Sadie was always so happy to go to doggy day care in the morning. If I am ever back in the area, I will definitely book with Liz and Jeffery for any type of care they provide.”

“We had such a great experience with this daycare! They were absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and clearly loves what they do. Saint had the best time and really bonded with their dog, Kai. They went on walks, played together, and even had time to rest and nap, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in such good hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“Kelly’s family is wonderful! They took such a great care of Toto 🥹 Took Toto for a walk to the park and updated me every hour!!! Super nice family and trustworthy 🙏🏻🥰 Toto enjoyed time there!! Thank you so much 😇🙏🏻”

“Nick is absolutely wonderful with my puppy Raven, he gets a lot of play time, walks, rest and attention and comes home tired from a fun filled day. Definitely bringing my doggy back!!”

“Tiffany has again been amazing with accommodating our ever-changing schedules. Our dog feels totally comfortable with her and gets excited to see her in the mornings. We are definitely lucky to have found someone to take such great care of our girl!”

“Michelle has been so great with my sweet Paris that even though we don’t need her services often, Paris gets excited the moment we pull up (knowing exactly where we are) and is never sad to see me leave, lol! She’s happy when I pick her up but has clearly had a great time with Michelle and any other pups around. Michelle has simply been amazing to work with as she’s navigated some of my own challenging schedule issues with grace during an already difficult time. I am so grateful.”

“Shannon has been absolutely amazing! I’ve been in Baltimore for work and decided to find a place my dog could go to at least once a week for fun. Shannon and her family treat Dori like family. She’s very accommodating to our schedule and Dori always comes home tired out from a day of fun! We’ll definitely be returning if we come back up to Baltimore!”

“Ryan and Sabrina have been wonderful as sitters for Toby. He loves going there and especially loves their big yard. They are very flexible with any changes and always accomodating. I totally recommend 100%.”

About: I’m an experienced pet sitter with a deep love for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have fostered and volunteered with BARCS and am patient with dogs who may need extra time to feel comfortable in new environments. I absolutely love finding ways to engage dogs through enrichment activities, playtime, and outdoor adventures! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to adjust my routine to fit the needs of your pet. My spouse, who also is a major dog lover, and I sit as a team to ensure that we can accommodate your pet’s ideal schedule! I have an adorable dog named Taz who loves to host new friends! Taz’s love for other dogs is actually the reason we are on Rover as sitters…he loves when new friends come to visit ❤️
About: Hello, I am here to make sure your fur baby is safe and comfortable while you are away. With 8+ years of experience I have learned that every furry friend is different. Different distractions, different tastes, different attitudes but one thing each furry friend can’t resist is love and attention. Some positive energy is all a friend needs to enjoy the company of a new friend. I will cater to our furry friends as needed and instructed by you. Maybe there is a medication time we need to fit in or even some training you guys are working on. I am more than happy to stay consistent with whatever is going on in the daily routine. I work with all ages and sizes. Dogs and cats are all welcome❤️ Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my daily routine haha. I work from home and I have a lot of extra time to provide love and attention. I am practically home 24/7 and thats the way I like it❤️ I am always available if your fur baby wants to tag along around the house. I have crates if a friend needs to be crated or separated in another room. Always keeping a friendly calm environment. I live in a 3 level home with a nice yard for some exercise. Also, the neighborhood has a nice trail for some walks.

“I could not be happier with Sam and the excellent care he provided for my dog, Walter! I needed to be out of town for the better part of a week, and having just moved to town, did not have any friends or family to watch after my large canine; Sam to the rescue! I had never used this service or this site before, so initially was a tad skeptical. After Sam's quick response, and then after meeting him in person, I knew Walter would be in good hands. I initially approached him requesting two walks per day, but due to his reasonable pricing, I suggested that I would be interested in adding a third walk every day. Even though I'm sure it was a bit out of the way, he accepted the extra work with alacrity. On top of all this, when I needed to put Walter on antibiotics last-minute, Sam was more than happy to administer the medicine. It was clear from the "Rover Cards" that Walter was getting great walks, and truly first-rate overall care. I would absolutely use Sam's service again, and would recommend him to anyone needing hassle-free, reliable care. I hope he is available if and when I need him again. Thanks Sam!”
“Fantastic. Jahborne was timely, professional, patient, courteous and friendly. He handled two different adult, big breed dogs (a female pit and a male lab) effortlessly. No incidents, no miscommunication. Book him, both my dogs were happier upon return!”

“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”

“Brent was great with my two active Aussies. They like to be walked together and came home from their walks clearly happy. Please note: Brent stepped up on fairly short notice—I had an emergency and needed dependable help. Highly recommend Brent and Rover!”

“Tess is a wonderful dog walker. She shows up promptly and keeps in touch with us. Our dog loves her and enjoys their daily walks. We are lucky to have Tess helping with walks for Benny.”

“Lorena is a dream dog walker. She has an excellent rapport with my pup, is very mindful of my dog’s safety, is always on time, and communicates exceedingly well. I recommend her highly and without any reservations.”

“Professional, prepared, kind and flexible! My dog is skiddish and warmed right up to Esther. She leaves thorough notes from the walks, is quick with communications and cares about the well being of my fur baby. 10/10 would recommend”

“Sophie did an amazing job with my dogs per usual and I know they gave her more trouble than they would give me. I'm forever grateful for her and trust her to care for my dogs 🐕”

“Casie was great! It was our dog’s first time being walked by someone else and he loved her. She sent lots of pictures and gave Koal lots of love while we were gone.”

“Samantha hooked me up last minute when we started an unexpected event and needed immediate recurring care. She's polite and responsive, and knows how to handle a weird finicky dog. My dog seems to love her!”

“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!”
