“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!”
“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!!!!”
“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!”
“Aida sent pictures daily and made sweet observations about our pup, letting me know she sees him for who he is! She showed enormous patience and understanding. Will definitely rebook!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“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!!”
“We loved having Gina watch our dog, Camden. She sent lots of pictures and videos which made us feel so comfortable. He’s been sleeping ever since we picked him up so I know he had a great time! Would definitely rebook with her and highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Meagan, Chris, and pups, Butter, and Lucy took great care of Ozzie. Ozzie does not always warm up to strangers immediately but felt at home with them burrowing under their blankets and sleeping in their pup beds. They provided daily report of Ozzie antics and photos keeping me posted. Meagan really loved Ozzie and animals in general, and adjust to them easily. It was evident Ozzie enjoyed his staycation. We will definitely board Ozzie at their place in the future.”
“Great service, as usual. We have used Diana on many occasions for short and long term (three weeks plus) stays and feel very comfortable leaving our four legged family member in her hands. When we drop the dog off he is so excited, it's his second home. She is always our number 1 goto for ROVER needs. Highly recommend. Garnett, Jackie & Andy”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”

“Nancy did an amazing job taking such good care of our cat while we were away. Our cat is very shy around new people, however she warmed up to Nancy right away and got plenty of pets, love, affection, and treats. Nancy is very professional, dependable, and quickly responsive. Would recommend to any cat owner and we plan to reach out to her again in the future!”

“Kimberly took such wonderful care of our 2 cats while we were away for a week. She communicated with us frequently and quickly, kept our home tidy and brought in our mail without us asking, and just overall seemed to truly care about our cats, taking the time to do the little things that we’d do for them. She earned their trust throughout the week and invested time to play with them and just give them company. Would absolutely trust her to care for them again! Thank you so much!!”
“Grace was communicative and responsive, she sent photos and detailed updates daily during her visits. It was obvious from the photos that she bonded well with our shy cat! Highly recommend. We will definitely be calling on Grace again for future visits!”
“Rachel was great! She was very good with my cats, one of which is very temperamental but warmed up to her her! We would definitely book her again for help in the future. Easy 5 stars!”
“Courtney was great with our 9 year old German Shepherd. Very responsible, professional and timely with drop-ins. Loved the notifications and pictures. Highly recommend and will derfinetly use Courtney as our dog sitter again!”
“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.”
“Erin was so wonderful with my cats! She was able to accommodate me last minute for the week of Christmas and did an absolutely amazing job! I received so many pictures of my girls and I know they were very well taken care of while I was away. That peace of mind is priceless! Thank you so much Erin!!”
“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!”
“Kathryn was absolutely amazing with my baby Ella. She would feed her take her for a walk and let her out to go potty. Super great at communicating and just a great person. I would totally love to book her again and I know my pup would as well.”
“Ivan was absolutely wonderful. He provided daily photos and updates which was incredibly reassuring, as this is the first time I’ve hired a professional pet sitter in several years. My cats (even the shy one!) loved him and the house was in great shape when I returned. Would definitely book again!”
“Raechel took excellent care of my 2 cats while I was away on vacation! She was very responsive to my initial request and I had no trouble scheduling a meet and greet. Raechel asked great questions about their care and went above and beyond to engage with my two shy cats. She checked in on them twice a day and sent many pictures after each visit. She left detailed messages about their feeding and activity, so I never worried or had to reach out with questions while I was away. She even played calming music and cat tv, so that they weren’t too anxious or bored. I was happy to see that they warmed up to her and didn’t just hide when she visited as they typically do with strangers. One of my cats is very particular about needing a clean litter box and has had accidents with past sitters. I am so happy that this wasn’t the case with Raechel’s care! It was wonderful to return to my apartment with no messes and peaceful unstressed cats. I highly recommended Raechel and look forward to working with her in the future!”
“Mélanie stepped in last minute to help with my fearful pup while I was out of town. I am greatly appreciative of her communication and help! Thank you, Melanie!”

“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!!!”

“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!”
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.
“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. ❤️”
“Elizabeth and her pup have been amazing with Oliver! He clearly loves getting to have playtime during daycare with her, it’s exactly the socialization and fun that we want for him!”
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: I have cared for cats and dogs for years. I rescued one cat to later find out she had seizures. She got proper treatment, love and attention, and lived to be fifteen. I am retired and available days, evenings, weekends, and most holidays to meet your pets needs and your schedule to keep on your pets routine. I have a medium size backyard with shade trees and room to play. During bad weather I use the basement for play time and activities.
“Rey was AMAZING. He met with me and my pup so that I could see the location and get a chance to meet him. I really appreciated that and my pup took to him right away. He was really accommodating of my schedule with a long work day and he was very communicative. I loved getting pics of her and the other pups throughout the day. This was her first week and we will definitely be back.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Leydis did an excellent job with my puppy. She kept me updated and sent pictures/ videos throughout the day. I could tell my pup had a great time with her! Highly recommend!”
“It was an interesting day in Cleveland. They were so sweet to roll with the changes for me from the change of times on the baseball game due to rain. Lexi had a wonderful peaceful time. She enjoyed their company and was a really good girl because she really felt loved. I highly recommend them.”
“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!”
“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: 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.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats, ranging from tame and house trained, to feral and nonsocial. Neither have stopped me from caring for them and loving them like my own. I am a full time student currently on summer break. I will have times I am away but I can think of nothing better than cuddling with your babies when needed. I assure you that I will put your pet’s safety and comfort above all else. I follow care instructions to the T to ensure your baby is safe and well cared for.
“Absolutely amazing experience with Gina! Excellent communication, my two golden retrievers looked so happy and comfortable with her, and I will book with her again!!”

About: I’m available outside of class to take care of your best friend! I have a lot of experience dogsitting, taking care of both family and friends' pets. I get along with all dogs, from the wildly energetic to shy babies. I’m excited to be there to assist with walking, feeding, washing, or anything else that is necessary. My goal is to give your dog the best walk (or run!) of his life. I have availability before and after school on weekdays (M/W/F afternoons and evenings, T/Th mornings and evenings). Also available Saturday and Sunday with notice (flexible). I am looking to care for dogs by walking and/or spending time with them, along with feeding or other requests. My apartment is not available for hosting.
“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!”
“Elizabeth is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and my dog loved her. My dog is somewhat skiddish due to her past, and it's a comfort to know that Elizabeth knows exactly how to behave around and interact with her without scaring her. I know that having Elizabeth come walk my pup midday significantly increases her quality of life. She felt comfortable around Elizabeth right away, and I'm so glad she's available to give my pup some love and enrichment while I'm at work.”
