“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Shanikki was great! Watched Coal over the weekend, and I could tell from the start he'd have a good time and be safe under her care. Space was more than accommodating for my dog, and she showed him a lot of love and attention to help manage his separation anxiety. Also had great communication and updates on him with very prompt responses. Will definitely book again. ✨️”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”

“Annie was super attentive to caring for my cat. She went above in making sure my pet had lots of love during her visits while I was away - the proof is in the photo updates ?. Definitely recommend Annie for looking after your kitties, especially cats who don’t like change!”
“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!”
“Lisa was fantastic with our boys! She was super attentive, detailed, and friendly. She took great pictures and sent detailed updates. Came back home to happy boys, thank you so much!”

“Andrew took such good care of our cat while we were away for the holiday weekend. I highly recommend Andrew for taking care of both cats and dogs. He’s very reliable and loves animals.”
“Madeline is an amazing communicator, clearly cares about our pets and followed instructions. We couldn’t be happier with the care our cats received”
“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!”
“Sun was so attentive and caring to my baby girl and was able to administer her medications easier than I usually do 😂 they also provided super detailed cards and took lots of pics 📸 overall. Had a wonderful experience and was able to vacation in peace ♥️”
“Jasmine was amazing! She had great communication and showed my cat a great time. I loved that I didn’t worry while I was away. She sent more than enough photos and videos so I kept a smile on my face. Would definitely recommend!”
“We were so lucky to meet Imani! She is absolutely the best. Our cat loved her from the first minute he met her. She is most responsible, knowledgeable, professional, kind, and sweet person. I was very nervous about how our cat would handle his first time away from us and she put my mind at ease and made us very comfortable. We are most grateful.”
“Christine is a wonderful cat sitter -- reliable, responsive, and so great with Lilah, who is cautious around new people. Lilah felt safe to emerge and interact with Christine by day 2, which is record time! I can tell Christine loves cats, and I felt at ease with Christine dropping in to take care of Lilah's needs. She was very thorough with feeding, watering, washing the used kitty dishes, and scooping litter.”
“Sam took amazing care of our cat, Lucy! You could tell from the pictures that Lucy loved her visits and felt well cared for. Sam’s communication was also amazing! She was super prompt with responding to messages and gave great updates throughout the booking. We would definitely work with her again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Alexis was fantastic! At the last minute, our previously booked Rover sitter canceled before our two week trip and Alexis stepped in. Our cat, Max, was very well cared for and Alexis communicated wonderfully. All instructions were followed and Alexis even regularly gave Max a treat, something we had mentioned in passing but wasn’t required - so thoughtful! We felt such relief having Alexis care for Max - their attention to detail was perfect!”
“We needed a sitter at the last minute before a holiday, and SJ responded *so* quickly to our request! SJ was incredibly proactive with communication and setting up a meeting time. Not only did SJ provide adorable pictures of our sweet guy, but he also addressed our specific requests in the Rover card following the drop-in. It was a hot weekend and there were lots of power outages, so we were able to enjoy our time away a lot more knowing that our cat was in great hands. If you need a sitter, I highly recommend reaching out to SJ!”

“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.
“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.”
“Poppy gets excited to get to Crissy's house and enjoys her time with Dublin. Crissy is flexible on timing when I've bumped into conflicts, and adjusting recurring days.”
“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. ❤️”
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.
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 ❤️
“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!”
“Emily was amazing! We did a meet and greet a few days before hand and then on the actual day, my dog remembered her and was so excited to be back. I was worried because he’s a bit of a Velcro dog but Emily said he slept behind her while she worked and spent some time outside with her dog as well playing. 10/10, I will book Emily and Patrick next time I need a sitter.”
“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.”
“This adorable family took in our dog for a 12-hour day. They provided us updates throughout the day and took care of all of his needs. Their location is extremely convenient, right off of I-15. We would eagerly take our pup there again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“I left Coco with Alicia for the day while work was being done in my house. Often when I leave her with someone she pulls on her leash and wants to come with me but this time she seemed to be happy staying with Alicia and Nala. It was as if I wasn't even there! Alicia took good care of Coco. I look forward to leaving Coco with her again.”
“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.”
“Kristen was super friendly, responsive and flexible, asked lots of questions about Finn, and clearly loves animals! Finn can be a bit anxious when with a new sitter, and he didn’t hesitate to run right up to her and make himself at home. She sent pictures throughout the day and kept me updated. I felt incredibly comfortable leaving Finn with Kristen and was confident through his stay that he was being not just well taken care of but also getting lots of love and attention. I’d highly recommend Kristen!”
“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.”
“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!!”

“Maria really helped me out with my two dogs on very short notice. She was responsive and kind. Maria provided several pictures during the walks with realtime updates. I'd definitely trust her again with my dogs!”
“Bob and his son Bobby were the best! Completely reliable and capable. My dog, that I have trouble managing, was easily handled them. I am very impressed with the quality of this service and they are first on my list for the next time.”
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.
“Ivan came over for a meet and greet with my dog, who liked him immediately. He picked up the dog at the scheduled time and took him on an hour walk. When I got home the dog was back in his crate and very content. Thank you Ivan!”
“Holly loves our dogs, and isn’t at all afraid of walking them both simultaneously (100 lbs of dog!) our dogs took to her right away and always come back happier than they left. Will absolutely be reaching out to her again for more walks. Thanks Holly!”
“Sam B is a delight to work with. She was totally at ease with my pups and they took to her immediately. She communicated with me every step of the way and sent me a few pictures to boot. I can comfortably recommend Sam for all your pet care needs. Phil K”
“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.”
“I really appreciate Andrew be willing to accept this walk despite the booking being so last minute. He was communicative, caring and seemed to be very in tune with my at times anxious pup. I would happily book Andrew for a future walk. Thank you!”
About: Throughout my life, I have cared for goats, cats (old and young), dogs (big and small), chickens, rabbits, and different kinds of rodents. I love all animals and treat other people's pets as if they were my own. I am experienced in administering oral medications, working with difficult walkers, and caring for anxious animals. I work your typical 9-5 and am available outside those times. I currently work remotely, so I am able to design my schedule around your pets' needs. I believe that pets thrive with a consistent schedule and will do my best to stick to your pets' schedule. All pets have social needs and activity needs. As a dog sitter, I will not just take your dog out for potty walks, but we will also go for sniff adventures, play fetch, and more. As a cat sitter, I provide as much attention as your cat is interested in. We can sit on the couch and cuddle or admire each other from a distance.
“Jasmine is wonderful!! I am so happy that I came across her profile. She is friendly, always on time, responsive, and does a great job walking my dog, Arlo. I am very surprised at how well she handles Arlo because he’s very energetic and sometimes stubborn. Nonetheless, he enjoys his walks with her and barely wants to leave when she drops him off lol. I highly recommend Jasmine if you are looking for a great dog walker.”
“Christine is great with the dogs. I needed help because I had foot surgery and can’t walk them, and she walked them when my husband went on a business trip. The pups were so excited to see her each day! We would request Christine again in the future”
“I AM SO HAPPY WITH CHANNINGS SERVICE. My very stubborn husky finally will leave the house! I’m so appreciative that she gets a full mile in with him. I couldn’t ask for more”
“Shelby was so nice and helpful, she send me pictures about Pisco and treat him very well, and follow all my instructions to take care of him ✨ I’ll definitely call her again in the future if I need more help with my pup ! Thank you so much Shelby!”
“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!”
“Venkata helped walk my dog on a short notice and was exceptional! Very very highly recommend - he was very responsive and responsible and took plenty of pictures during the walks. Definitely recommend!”
“Dominique made our trip to DC so much better. She sent a card summarizing the walk and where they went, how far and the doggy business. We really appreciated Dominique!”

It was a great first experience leaving my pup with someone not family. They always make sure someone is home with the pups and sent lots of updates. Kevin was a total gentleman and Lulu was thrilled that he shared his favorite spots with her. Lulu can’t wait to go back in a few weeks and I can travel easy knowing she’s being taken such good care of!”
