Highly-rated overnight sitters - Avila
“As always, I felt very comfortable leaving Zuri with Kelly and Maurice. I knew she would be well taken care of while I went out of town on travel. They even sent pics and videos which is a great touch. I highly recommend them!”
“Our dog sitting experience with Shuling was wonderful. Lucky, our 4-year old mini goldendoodle, and his 2-year old beagle cousin looked like they were having a great time running around outside then relaxing inside. Shuling sent us lots of pictures. We would definitely contact her again if we need dog sitting coverage the next time we are in Annapolis.”
“Mady is AMAZING! She helped us out in a last minute pinch and made sure our pup had a fun, exciting day. She sends lots of pictures and gave Kiko lots of love! Thanks, Mady!”
“Crystal was wonderful looking after our two small dogs! She gave them lots of attention and took great care administering medications for our elder one. Her frequent updates and communication were great! We received photos and videos of their day. Our “kids” are exhausted, in a good way. I’m pretty sure they’d have been happy to stay. We’re thankful for all of Crystal’s care and love! Knowing they’re in good hands makes our time away a little easier.”
“What a delightful time Ginger had, with this lovely family. Carlie was attentive, flexible, and like a second home while I was away. I will definitely be returning.”
“We were pleased that Alicia was able to accommodate us in very short notice. Our dog Eli, although rambunctious, really made himself at home in her home. We enjoyed our updates through pictures and videos throughout his stay. Thanks for everything!”
“Donna was very accommodating and provided a clean, doggy friendly atmosphere. She was very responsive and provided pics and updates. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Very pleased with how thoughtful and caring Katelyn and Blaze were with our dog. Katelyn provides frequent communication, photos and video. I highly recommend and will surely be back.”
“Jackalyn was absolutely amazing with my Melo! She sent daily updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while he was boarding. Melo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would definitely recommend anyone else to book with her!”
“A very positive experience. My Bear received highly personalized care and a happy home to live & play in. Very communicative service and professional care! Highly recommended.”
“Sandra was amazing! Our two dogs stayed for 3 nights and had an absolute blast. They played outside in the back yard and kiddie pool and had fun toys to play with. She sent pictures and updates every day and our dogs looked so happy! Highly recommend her for boarding or doggy play dates.”
“Michelle is fantastic, as well as unbelievably accommodating!! She picked up and dropped off my dog when my plans were changed. Previously she took my Tobey in at a moments notice when I was hospitalized in May for an infection/surgery for a week. Michelle takes great care of the dog with walks& fresh air. She also sends an evening update with how he/she/they are doing with pictures. Would highly recommend!! I’m hesitant as well, to keep up the praise she deserves, because I want to make sure she is available to take Tobey when I need her, and not be booked!!?”
“I feel so at ease knowing my fur baby is with Lynette. She send pics and little notes throughout the day. When I pick up my baby he is so tired from all the fun he had at her house. I would 100% recommend this sitter for anyone with a fur baby.”
“This Tiko’s second time staying with Yousef and we couldn’t be happier, they are communicative and always send pics. Tiko is always happy when he returns and there is little to no anxiety. I can tell that he truly enjoys his time there!”
“Eli was awesome! My dog is somewhat shy but she took to Eli right away. Eli picked my furbaby up and once he was back to his home he sent a picture of my pooch and where she had her kennel setup. Skittles was able sit and stare out the windows, which she loves to do. I received plenty of pictures to put me at ease. Eli also had a camera setup so I could see my dog if I wanted!!! I’m super happy with Eli as he was on time for pickup and drop off and overall is a very nice person! I will definitely board my dog with Eli again!!!!”
“Megan was great! We enjoyed getting photo and video updates. She made our dog feel right at home and helped our dog get more comfortable with being around other dogs.”
“During my elderly dog’s 17 days of stay, Nadia provided frequent updates and pictures and communicated with me regularly. My dog looked really well when we picked her up. I was very nervous since she never stayed w a dog-sitter before. I am very grateful. Thank you, Nadia.”
“Marta was so great!! Let me tell you, I am picky when it comes to finding a dog sitter and am willing to drive a bit far for a good one, and I think I’ve found one in Marta! Just from interacting with her a few times I can tell she is professional, experienced in caring for different types of dogs, and seems to be a big dog lover too! During the meet & greet, she had a list of questions about my dog Mochi and took down notes which shows she takes it seriously. And when the boarding day came, I had to push the drop off time by over an hour and she was very flexible about it. She sent several pictures during the day and Mochi looked like she was having a blast in all of them! She also has a huge fenced backyard where the pups can run and play, which is a big plus! Especially for a large golden-lab mix like mine with lots of energy. Will definitely board with Marta again! 😊”
“Sabrina was literally a God send. We were in an emergency situation and Sabrina stepped in immediately. She loved on our babies and accommodated them like they were her own. I think we found our forever Rover sitter.”

“Jessica was great taking care of my cats on short notice. She left detailed notes and updates every day and checked to make sure they were happy and healthy (even the one that likes to hide under the bed)! I was completely satisfied with her service!”
“Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.”

“Sarah is an excellent choice to take care of your pets! We have relied on Sarah multiple times to take care of our two cats, and she does an excellent job.

“Leticia did a great job taking care of my cat Madison. Madison is a loner and doesn't warm up to people but he trusted Leticia from the start. I loved the photos and videos that she forwarded to me. It gave me peace of mind to know that he was well cared for. I hope that Leticia will be available the next time I need to be away from home for an extended period of time.”
“Alicia was great and took good care of our cat during a holiday weekend. She was very friendly and responsive to communication. We appreciated the photos she shared during her visits and came home to a happy cat.”
“Jessica did a great job watching my cats. She sent pictures every check in and arrived for the check-ins on time. She was also very responsive to chats and questions. Highly recommend!!”

“Marta was terrific!! She sent us pictures throughout our puppy’s stay with her and even sent him home with some of her homemade treats. Definitely will be sending our puppy to her again in the future. 5/5 would recommend !”
“Rachele was there when we most needed it! She makes it look easy, is super flexible and accommodating, and my sweet Wyatt came home happy and well exercised and excited to go back again and again.

About: I have owned pets most of my life. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and many other animals. I am also great with plants. I have been pet sitting outside of Rover for many years. I have a very sweet pit mix and do not discriminate against any breed! I understand the importance of trust and communication while allowing someone to care for your pet! I will always go above and beyond to give extra love to your furry friend, not just take care of basic needs. I keep a well stocked pet cabinet and bring supplies with me for sits, drop-ins, and walks. Anxiety, tummy issues, allergies, discomfort, first aid, grooming, enrichment- you name it, I'm prepared. I've handled several medical emergencies. I take the responsibility seriously. You can trust your family member will be properly cared for in any situation. Any concerns or changes in routine will be addressed with you immediately. *If interested in boarding please note that I do have a 66 pound Pit mix. He previously lived with another dog, a cat, and two toddlers. He is very friendly with absolutely zero aggression. He will not stand up for himself. I would be happy to do a meet and greet in my home or on neutral ground. If your pet is not compatible with large male dogs, please do not request this service. Alternatively, I would be happy to pet sit or stop in for longer visits. I work from home part time with very flexible hours. I can easily fit any needed pet care into my routine. I am up and available at most hours, early morning and late at night included. I do not board more than 2 pets at a time. Though I do not personally crate, I will if it's the routine of your pet and the crate is provided. My home is equipped with baby gates and large bedrooms so I am prepared to separate without your furry friend feeling too cooped up, should the need arise. I do not have a fenced backyard. Walks will be given a minimum of 3 times a day. 4-5 walks is my normal routine, though I am happy to follow your pets cues or their routine. My neighborhood is pet friendly with walking trails and lots of shaded areas. I have a deck with a large umbrella and dog beds, perfect if your pet likes to sunbathe as mine does!
“Lucy and Daniel are a great team for the best doggy daycare you could ever want/need for your dog! My dog is extremely needy and they gave him nothing but love. We look forward to next time!”

“Alex communicated throughout our dog’s stay, shared lots of photos, and took him out for walks. Our shy boy normally takes weeks to adjust to a new sitter, but clearly liked being with Alex and her pack.”

“Nick provided excellent care for Maverick while I had to attend an in-person work meeting for the day. He kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and he sent the best pictures of Maverick enjoying himself. It was clear Maverick was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. I truly appreciate the attention and care Nick provided, especially with Maverick still being a puppy. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for reliable and caring puppy-watching services!”
“Jasmine was so great with Willow! She took her to the dog park, was flexible with my schedule, and even washed Willow’s bedding when she happy peed on it. Will definitely use Jasmine in the future!”
“Crystal is so amazing!!! She is patient, thoughtful and caring. My Junior was well taken care and I felt comfortable with leaving him with Crystal. I’ve already booked my next appointment for Junior and I know there will be many more appointments in the future. Crystal is the best!!!”
“I had a great experience using Kiki for doggy daycare for my puppy, Emme. She sent regular photos and updates throughout the day, which really gave me peace of mind. Her home was clean, well kept, and clearly a safe environment for dogs—something I really appreciated after seeing some less-than-ideal setups elsewhere. Kiki was incredibly caring and gentle with Emme, and I loved that she was thoughtful enough to remind me to bring a sweater for her because it was cold outside. That level of attentiveness really stood out. I would absolutely trust Kiki with Emme again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and attentive dog sitter.”
“Laura is fantastic! Our pup Luna had a great time and loved playing around in the yard and with her two lovely pups. Laura was great to work with and sent pictures during Luna’s daycare session. Thanks!”
“Danielle is great with Diggy. She keeps me updated during his stay and also send pictures. I truly appreciate her in taking care of my fur baby. Thank you, Danielle and you are greatly appreciated!!!”

“Donna was very accommodating and provided a clean, doggy friendly atmosphere. She was very responsive and provided pics and updates. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Jackalyn was absolutely amazing with my Melo! She sent daily updates and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while he was boarding.

“A very positive experience. My Bear received highly personalized care and a happy home to live & play in. Very communicative service and professional care! Highly recommended.”
“Sandra was amazing! Our two dogs stayed for 3 nights and had an absolute blast. They played outside in the back yard and kiddie pool and had fun toys to play with. She sent pictures and updates every day and our dogs looked so happy! Highly recommend her for boarding or doggy play dates.”
“Marta was so great!! Let me tell you, I am picky when it comes to finding a dog sitter and am willing to drive a bit far for a good one, and I think I’ve found one in Marta! Just from interacting with her a few times I can tell she is professional, experienced in caring for different types of dogs, and seems to be a big dog lover too! During the meet & greet, she had a list of questions about my dog Mochi and took down notes which shows she takes it seriously. And when the boarding day came, I had to push the drop off time by over an hour and she was very flexible about it. She sent several pictures during the day and Mochi looked like she was having a blast in all of them! She also has a huge fenced backyard where the pups can run and play, which is a big plus! Especially for a large golden-lab mix like mine with lots of energy. Will definitely board with Marta again! 😊”

“Lindsay was just who we needed to care for our boy Migo! I can tell she cares very deeply about the animals entrusted to her, and Migo was no exception. Even as an anxious dog, his short vacation with them left him a l little bummed out to be leaving! For a caring and devoted animal lover to watch over your own, look no further! Lindsay truly is the best of the best and I am forever grateful for her. 💙”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“Our first time boarding with Shelby was a great experience! She was flexible, communicative, and followed all care instructions for our dog Loki. Will definitely be calling her up in the future.”

“Jillian was the best! She treated our pet just as her own, and continuously provided us with heartwarming updates. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“This was our first time boarding our 20 month old Cavapoo puppy, and we couldn’t be happier! Wr received daily photographs of him playing with all his new dog friends, updates on how he was getting along with his new pals. When he picked up a tick on a forest walk, she showed up photos, and let us know it has been safely removed. The peace-of-mind k owing he was in the hands of a vet tech can’t be overstated!”
“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Cal and Kelly took great care of Buttercup and sent lots of photos of her having fun with her dog friends there. They let us know when she was feeling anxious (she is a sensitive rescue) and took extra care to make her more comfortable. They are our favorite Rover sitters!”
