“This was a last minute booking for my big boy Snow. Christa was very helpful answering my questions and flexible but honest regarding availability which was greatly appreciated since at the time of the booking the planning for my work related trip wasn’t final. She kept me informed about his status all week and made me feel comfortable while being away since he wasn’t staying not just at a pet sitter house but at a welcoming home with lots of love.”
“Terri was amazing. So chill and relaxed around our sensitive dog. She is one of those rare sitters that does not have her own dogs or cats and is 100% dedicated to yours. She has a house and yard that are peaceful and quiet and in a great neighborhood for interesting walks. I would 100% recommend Terri, she is an absolute gem.”
“Our dog always appears well taken care of. She is happy when we drop her off and pick her up. Sophia is reliable and flexible and always sends us cute pictures of our dog during the trip. Lucy is always clean when we pick her up. We are very happy with Sophia!!”
“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!”
“Wow! My family and I felt and knew we left our pups in great hands with Michelle. She sent daily updates and photos. One photo looked like my dog was literally smiling. I would book again in a heartbeat with Michelle!”
“Asher and Olivia had a wonderful time with Jason! We really appreciated Jason's frequency of communication. This was our first time boarding our puppies and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Jim and Mary were so wonderful with our dog! This was our first experience using Rover and we could not have found a more perfect fit for Zoey! They put our mind at ease all weekend with constant updates and pictures. They took care of Zoey as if she were their own and I feel so grateful to have found them for our family. I highly recommend Jim and Mary and look forward to using them for our next time away!”

“P'tit Loup had a wonderful time with a very caring family. Thank you so much Marylee and Allen! I have a lot of separation anxiety, but your pictures and texts were always there to reassure me. Take care and we will see you again 😃💖”
“We can’t say enough amazing things about Renee, she was truly our angel during a very stressful moment while we were on vacation in Florida. The place where our dog was staying unexpectedly call us and rudely demanded that we pick up our dog immediately. Being out there of state with no one nearby to help, we were completely panicked and heartbroken. My husband remember about Rover and he find Renee, she responded very quickly asking the situation and accept our booking. Without hesitation, she stepped in and went out of her way to pick up our dog for us. She was incredibly sweet, caring, and compassionate, exactly what we needed in that moment. She treated our puppy with so much love and care, like he was her own, and kept us updated and send us pictures of him smiling and acting like he is at home. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and will never forget what she did for us. Thank you, dear Renee, you are truly one of a kind!❤️🐾”
“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“Like I told Evvery, this is the first time I've gone on vacation without my dog and didn't stress about his care. We received picture and video updates at least two times everyday and Shmulik looked SO HAPPY and like he was having the time of his life in each one. Shmulik can be a little difficult (he's aggressive with other dogs), but Evvery knew exactly what to do if they encountered another dog on their walks. We cannot recommend her enough!!!!!!!! Evvery will give your pups the love and attention they deserve while you're away! Thank you, Evvery!! We'll see you soon! - Ilya, Yana & Shmulik”

“Kathleen and her family took great care of Juneau. We arranged a Meet & Greet in advance to ensure a successful stay. They sent photos and updates so we knew our girl was having fun while we were away.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 13 years and have experienced with a range of animals. Ive grown up with and taking care of dogs and also have experience with cats and horses. I’m considered my family and friends dog whisperer and go to for training and introducing dogs to one another. I’m a big believer that pets aren’t more than just pets, they’re our furry family members and deserve all the love in the world! I currently work full time but get home around 4 for evening play dates with the pups! I’m also available during the weekend and every other Friday for walks or check ins. I love an active lifestyle and love walks so I am more than able to walk the pups! I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am happy to go out and walk around as much as a dog may like!
“Tanya was great to work with and was great with our two dogs. Our dogs are a bit tentative when meeting new people, so Tanya was great with letting them get acclimated with her before leashing them. She is very responsive and easy to work with!”
“This was our first time using Jenny for our 2 cats. We had been using someone else through Rover. Our needs had changed and we needed someone experienced in giving meds as we have a 17 year old cat with cancer among other big issues and it's pertinent that he have the meds correctly administered. We met Jenny and my husband and I felt instantly at ease. She gave us very thorough care cards and even pictures along the way. She followed all of my specific instructions and we were very happy with her care of our babies. We will definitely be repeat clients! Thank you Jenny! 🐾.”
“Holly has been an amazing support to our family! We feel so lucky to have found her on Rover! She takes great care of our pups, treating them with love and care as if they were her own!”
“For a second time Lin watched our 4 kitties, all with various diet issues, and we can’t say enough nice things about her. Normally very shy, all of them were out for most of her visits. She spends time playing with them and keeps us in the loop about what is happening while we’re gone. We are very happy Lin took care of them!”
“We appreciate Elspeth's help in taking care of our chocolate lab Ziggy while we were on a day trip. She is an excellent communicator and very conscientious, and it was clear she did a fine job taking care of Ziggy's needs for a potty break, food, and play. She will be our go-to sitter whenever she's available.”
“Jennifer was lovely! She house sat for our three cats, which includes two rambunctious kittens. She followed instructions and provided updates, and left our house in great condition.”
“Nora did a drop-in visit for me this evening. Great communication, sent pictures of her with the dogs in the back yard. Looking forward to having her take care of them in the future!”
About: I have lived with a dog my whole life. I walk, feed, and play with my 170 lbs mastiff. I also walk, feed, and play with my neighbors 3 dogs, one of which has trouble walking and getting up and down the steps. I just graduated from college and currently not working, which makes my schedule pretty free. I am open to early mornings and/ or late night walks and feeds! If the house does not have a fence I will keep a leash on at all times to help ensure the dogs safety and help prevent them from running away.

“Katherine and her daughter are very friendly and took good care of our near 3-month old puppy. Our puppy came back relaxed and seemed to have a fulfilling day ☺️”
About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.
“Lydia Is an awesome sitter! My dog Bennett absolutely thrives there, she takes him on little adventures he plays outside it’s wonderful! I would highly recommend her! She also sends pictures all the time which I adore!”
About: Hi my name is Fran. I’m a mostly stay at home Mom in Mt. Airy with a 3 year old and 6 year old and 1 year old. We live on 5 acres, all fenced, across from the state park and in addition to 2 dogs have horses, chickens, and an outside cat. Both me and my husband have owned dogs all our lives, and experienced in animal care. Professionally, I’ve worked as a barn manager, dog groomer, dog walker, trainer, and dog handler for an Iditarod musher! I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and absolutely love it!!!! I care greatly about dogs and make sure that they are well taken care of with plenty of love and exercise. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all of my life. As a little kid my childhood dog was my constant companion and when I wasn't with him I was with the neighbors' dogs. In my twenties I moved to Alaska where I pursued a career in dog mushing and for two years lived with 120 dogs! Unfortunately due to frostbite I had to move back to the east coast. Meet my pets I have 2 dogs, Cash a one year old Australian Shepherd and Littles a 15 year old Boston terrier mix. Both love to play!! Cash is still a puppy and will play all day long!! He loves every dog he meets. Littles is 15 and recently lost his sight He’ll try to keep up with Cash but mostly just loves to sleep. I also have 2 horses, Shadow and Dandy (the love of my life) in their late twenties, some chickens, and a barn cat. About my yard I live on five acres across from Patuxent State Park. We have a huge fenced in backyard, with lots of trails in walking distance! My experience administering medication Yes I have no problem administering medication. Including injections I’m currently a stay at home mom and almost always home so your dog will never be left alone for long periods of time!! My 5 year old is great with dogs and will give your animals plenty of love and attention!!! We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run! Your dog will be let out frequently and get plenty of exercise!! I try and take the dogs for a long walk at least once a day. Your dog will have free roam of the house, but we are more than happy to crate if you provide one. Our dogs eat in the am and pm, however we can accommodate your dogs feeding schedule.
About: I’ve been both cat and dog sitting independently since middle school, and I thought Rover would be a great opportunity while I’m in still in college! I am currently a full-time online student so I’m available to take care of you pets anytime! I have a very open availability and can most likely make anything work! I have two dogs of my own who love meeting new friends, and a very safe fenced in backyard with more than enough room to run! As for your home, I can work with anything!
“Layla has been coming to Dan’s for a few weeks now. She comes home happy and tired! He is easy to communicate with and his outdoor space is giant. Plenty of space to run around. I recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets, including feeding, walks, playtime. I treat every pet like family and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. I can do pet sitting in the mornings, lunch time, evenings and weekends to fit your busy schedule and provide loving care to cats, dogs and reptiles I am working from home, have fenced yard, small friendly dog and kids that love animals, if you prefer me to host your pet. I can also visit your pets at your house if it works better for you.
About: As a recently graduated high school student, I’ve taken part in numerous veterinary classes, shelter start-up programs, and many other events that advance my experience with dogs and other animals alike. To be transparent, I am looking to make a bit of money before college starts and would love to help others in need with their furry friends :)) My availability remains open all day, with 3 other people in my house. I have practice from 7-9 pm but that would be the only time I’d be away from the house. I am extremely flexible and am more than happy to bend availability for the benefit of your pets! I have a 2 acre fenced in back yard, along with two other very friendly dogs (labradors aged 8 and 12) who are more than willing to play. I am also more than happy with allowing animals on furniture if you’d like. Treats, of course, will be provided and at the ready.
“I highly recommend Auana as she is expertly took care of my pup while I was at work. She made sure to ask all the right questions to provide the right care. Norbert and I both were impressed with communication and attention during his stay. Thanks again!”
About: I have a long, sturdy fence that offers total peace of mind. Whether it's a puppy with zero recall or a senior who gets disoriented, they can enjoy the fresh air safely and off-leash under my constant supervision. I am happy to reinforce your consistency with house-training and basic manners. As a dedicated dog lover, pet care isn't a side task it’s my daily rhythm. I work from home, meaning your dog has constant companionship and immediate access to my secure, long-fenced yard for frequent "zoomies" or sunbathing. My long, secure fence is the backbone of my safety protocol. It allows for off-leash "zoomies" and exploration without the risk of bolting. I never leave dogs unattended in the yard; I am always out there with them.
About: Hello! While I don’t have any specific training on animals I grew up with a variety of pets all my life. I’m fond of our furry companions and have learned their needs and special requirements tailored to their unique personalities. I have a lot of downtime and can provide cuddles and or distance. I’ve never struggled with any pet, I enjoy offering extra care and even have a grooming station if needed. I love to be active as well so walking wont be a problem. I work from home for now. I do have appointments throughout the week sometimes but do not take longer than 2 hours. I wake up early and sleep late for potty break needs. I’m usually done with work around 2 and can take them to a park after or on the weekends. In my home I can crate dogs if preferred or let them roam freely at my place. My apartment complex has a little dog park and plenty of walking trails around the neighborhood for exercising needs. During our outings I will avoid other pets just for safety reasons. I have my own car that can be used for emergencies or longer trips to better pet friendly parks. They can sleep anywhere they’d like. If in your home, I will carefully do exactly as you say/request. So please provide a clear and detailed description of your baby’s routine. Thank you for your consideration!
“Lora is such a great sitter, so responsive and knows my dog well. She’s got a great location and even on days where she’s busy she’s often got a helping hand to make sure all dogs are taken care of”
“If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and provide top-notch care, I recommend Sruthi. She is a gem in my experience, and I will definitely be booking her services again in the future. She sends pictures and keeps you in the loop throughout the entire time! We definitely felt at ease with her taking care of our boy Milo. Thank you for taking such a great care of my baby!”
“Benny had a great time at Rodney’s house romping around in the snow! He came home exhausted. Rodney was accommodating to an early pickup so we could get home before the roads iced up.”

About: I’ve never dog sit for someone else before but I would love the opportunity to do so! I have two dogs of my own so I know how to take care of them, give them their proper food, and take them on long and short walks! :) Im currently working part time at my job so for the most part i’m available! Best days and times for me would be Thursday, Friday, and the weekends preferably in the late morning, afternoon, or evening! At my house we have a lot of gates and fenced off areas so that they won’t pee or make messes. If needed I can easily do so! I can also try to feed them specific foods you might have and such.
About: I am a long-time animal lover and human companion to many dogs! I adore my 4 rescue dogs, my 2 rescue cats, and my 2 happy humans! We spend our time creating a fun, happy, positive atmosphere full of good energy! I am experienced in caring for all types of dogs and cats, chickens, small animals, and have basic equine care experience. I have cared for dogs for over 30 years. I have fostered and provided support for dogs from young puppies to seniors that require special treatment, diet, medication and/or physical assistance, including amputee rehabilitation. One of my rescues (Penny) is blind, Luna has a single lung after three heart surgeries, and two are active seniors, Lani and Fiji! I use touch therapy on my dogs, along with holistic methods and work hard to keep our home full of health and happiness. Making sure our beautiful companions are comfortable, happy, and healthy is my goal! I feed my own dogs a holistic and healthy diet, and make their food and snacks myself. I volunteer with a local pet rescue group, where I transport animals, and help the organization with applications and adoptions. My true passion is to make babies with 4 legs wag their tails and show me that their hearts are truly happy! I am excited to bring my love, care, and joy to your pets, too!

“Once again Jenny came in and saved the day. An appointment turned into an all day ordeal but I was not stressed because I knew Jenny was coming to walk the dogs and they would be taken care of until I got home.”
“Terri has been a fantastic support for our family. She is dependable and trustworthy and sends an update after each visit. Knowing that our little Spaniel is comfortable and happy is the best feeling when I am away from home. I am so grateful that I found her, and I look forward to working with her for a long time!!”
About: I will treat your pet as if it is my own and will make sure they stay calm and happy while you are away!! I have experience with older dogs and puppies! I am available almost all summer.I am a full time college student working on my Bachelors of science but I am home for the summer. Pet sitting can be fit into my schedule as needed. I can let the dogs run outside for a while in a fenced yard, I can take them on walks through the neighborhood, I can practice commands, or just give some snuggles.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have previous work experience at a kennel. Most importantly, I am certified in pet CPR and First Aid. I am currently a college student, so my summer is completely free for all your animals. If you would like to schedule a meeting with me beforehand let me know! I have a 3 acre yard with an invisible fence. My neighborhood is a very nice place to take walks in. I also believe your pets should be comfortable, so if I come to your home I will make sure to take care of everything.

“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.”

About: I am very kind and peaceful. I know how to approach and introduce myself to pets I've never met. I was raised with dogs and cats in my childhood home and I have been blessed with four dogs of my own and one cat throughout my adult life. My last dog, Cody (a Boston Terrier), passed in September 2016 and since then I enjoy cuddling, nurturing, and playing with my own grandpups (3) who are very happy and excited when they come for sleepovers at my house frequently. I am a business owner working from home which allows a flexible schedule for me and I have the ability to meet client's pets' needs easily because the work I perform is not 9-5. I live in a house on 1/2 acre with a fenced back yard. There is plenty of safe play room for pets. They will have free reign for stays in my home depending on their behavioral needs, just as my own dogs experienced during their lives. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood where I am able to walk dogs by wooded areas and small fields, and also can take them to terrific nearby parks for outside time.
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by animals and have dedicated my life to understanding and supporting their needs. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked professionally as a veterinary technician in a veterinary office in Utah, giving me a strong medical background and the ability to recognize and respond to a wide range of health and behavioral concerns. My experience also includes working in multiple kennels across many states where I cared for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This has given me the skills to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. At home, I’m a proud pet owner myself. I have a 13-year-old Chihuahua that I’ve raised since he was a puppy, as well as an 11-year-old pit bull mix I rescued from a shelter in 2017, and my beloved cat I adopted in 2023. My own pets have given me firsthand experience with aging animals, rescue care, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated like family—with compassion, experience, and the highest level of care. I am open most days, as I homeschool my child. Saturday afternoons are usually reserved for personal time but I am available in the morning and night. I can let your dog out in your back yard, take them for a walk, clean litter boxes, do playtime, give food, water, and medications on their schedule.
About: I have always enjoyed being around dogs and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am responsible, patient, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or a calm stroll, I will make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. My goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for every pet while giving owners peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule and can provide walks during weekdays and weekends. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a longer walk for exercise, I’ll make sure they get the care, attention, and activity they need. I always prioritize your dog’s safety by using secure leashes, avoiding unsafe areas, and following your care instructions closely. I understand every dog has a unique personality, and I will make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy during every walk.
About: I'm a stay at home mom (during the summer) of 2 teenage boys and would like to interact with some furry friends as well. I love playing and cuddling with all furry animals. I feel pets should have fun and interact during the day, just like you. I'm a lover of all breeds, sizes, shapes, colors, and ages. I got my first dog over 30 years ago and have had them in my life ever since. If you're looking for a passionate caretaker for your dog(s) and/or cat(s), then I'm the person for you! Please consider me for taking care of your furry children! I'll love and care for your pet just like you! I’m currently off from school, so I’m looking to fill my time with caring, playing, and cuddling with your furry friends during the summer time. I have a fenced in yard with gaps, so I would not be able to have any pets at my home. Also, I have 2 cats of my own…who are slightly skiddish.

I’m also respectful of your home, keeping it clean and tidy. Your pet’s well-being and peace of mind are my top priorities while you’re away!
About: I truly will treat your pets like they are my own, and I am comfortable with multiple at a time, whether cats or dogs, and large or small. I have been dog sitting for over 10+ years. I have always had dogs in my homes as well, and I had my rescue dog Samson for 11 years til he passed last year, along with three cats I have had for 4+ years now.I have many references who can vouch for my attentive, loving care.
About: I have always had dogs and cats growing up, which peaked my interest in animal care. In high school I worked as a kennel technician at a boarding kennel and gained an internship at the local veterinary office. now in college, I am studying animal science to hopefully get a degree in veterinary medicine, and continue to pet sit for my friends and family including both cats and dogs. I'm currently home from college for the summer, and home most of the time! I do have a car, and am available almost any time of the day. I have pets in my home that are not socialized, so I would not be able to pet sit in my own home, but I am happy to make the trip to the comfort of their own home.

“Samantha is truly a gem and cared for my dog like her own. She sent regular pics and videos. My dog felt at ease for 5 days with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her!!”
“Karen was extremely nice, very welcoming of our pup Milo! she kept me updated with videos and pics which really showed how happy and safe Milo was! I really recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her in a future😊😊”
“This was a last minute booking for my big boy Snow. Christa was very helpful answering my questions and flexible but honest regarding availability which was greatly appreciated since at the time of the booking the planning for my work related trip wasn’t final. She kept me informed about his status all week and made me feel comfortable while being away since he wasn’t staying not just at a pet sitter house but at a welcoming home with lots of love.”
“Terri was amazing. So chill and relaxed around our sensitive dog. She is one of those rare sitters that does not have her own dogs or cats and is 100% dedicated to yours. She has a house and yard that are peaceful and quiet and in a great neighborhood for interesting walks. I would 100% recommend Terri, she is an absolute gem.”
“Asher and Olivia had a wonderful time with Jason! We really appreciated Jason's frequency of communication. This was our first time boarding our puppies and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Jim and Mary were so wonderful with our dog! This was our first experience using Rover and we could not have found a more perfect fit for Zoey! They put our mind at ease all weekend with constant updates and pictures. They took care of Zoey as if she were their own and I feel so grateful to have found them for our family. I highly recommend Jim and Mary and look forward to using them for our next time 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!”
“P'tit Loup had a wonderful time with a very caring family. Thank you so much Marylee and Allen! I have a lot of separation anxiety, but your pictures and texts were always there to reassure me. Take care and we will see you again 😃💖”
“We can’t say enough amazing things about Renee, she was truly our angel during a very stressful moment while we were on vacation in Florida. The place where our dog was staying unexpectedly call us and rudely demanded that we pick up our dog immediately. Being out there of state with no one nearby to help, we were completely panicked and heartbroken. My husband remember about Rover and he find Renee, she responded very quickly asking the situation and accept our booking. Without hesitation, she stepped in and went out of her way to pick up our dog for us. She was incredibly sweet, caring, and compassionate, exactly what we needed in that moment. She treated our puppy with so much love and care, like he was her own, and kept us updated and send us pictures of him smiling and acting like he is at home. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and will never forget what she did for us. Thank you, dear Renee, you are truly one of a kind!❤️🐾”
“Like I told Evvery, this is the first time I've gone on vacation without my dog and didn't stress about his care. We received picture and video updates at least two times everyday and Shmulik looked SO HAPPY and like he was having the time of his life in each one. Shmulik can be a little difficult (he's aggressive with other dogs), but Evvery knew exactly what to do if they encountered another dog on their walks. We cannot recommend her enough!!!!!!!! Evvery will give your pups the love and attention they deserve while you're away! Thank you, Evvery!! We'll see you soon! - Ilya, Yana & Shmulik”
“Rodney and Marissa were awesome with Bella, she was nervous, but they made her feel right at home. She had a good time with them meeting new friends and was able to be her playful self! Thanks so much guys”
“Kathleen and her family took great care of Juneau. We arranged a Meet & Greet in advance to ensure a successful stay. They sent photos and updates so we knew our girl was having fun while we were away.”
“both of our dogs seemed well cared for. His property has plenty of space for the dogs to run and he took them for walks in the woods, which I’m sure they enjoyed. I would consider boarding our dogs with him again.”
“Christopher took excellent care of our boy and provided frequent updates. He even bought a bone for our boy to chew on while he looked after him! I would definitely use again.”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
“Mindy was fantastic with Loopy! She was incredibly responsive and sent us fantastic videos of Loopy playing with the other pups and going on walks on the local nature trails! Loopy ended up with an ear infection between when she confirmed taking him and when he would be dropped off and knowing he wouldn’t be contagious without hesitation she agreed to give him oral and topical medication! Mindy was fantastic, flexibility and we highly recommend her and her family for dog sitting!”
