“Liz and Jeff took outstanding care of Topper during his 8-night holiday stay, and they truly are exceptional dog sitters. Topper had a wonderful time with their family and other dogs, and it was clear he was treated like one of their own. Throughout the stay, they sent frequent video updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, in great shape, and clearly very happy. It was obvious that he’d had plenty of attention, playtime, and care in a safe, loving home environment. Liz and Jeff are reliable, caring, and trustworthy, and we feel very lucky to have found them. We would not hesitate to book them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top‑notch dog sitters.”
“I was so lucky to get such high quality sitters at the last minute—that was my first plus! They arranged the meet and greet so that we could see that my Phoebe was going to fit into their “system.” Everything went smoothie so she could adjust while I was there. When we returned the next day for the drop off, Phoebe experienced separation anxiety which made me uncomfortable leaving, but within a half an hour Ginny texted me some pics of my girl being calm and sitting with Steve. So I could enjoy my vacation knowing that she was well taken care of. Two very lovely, caring, and capable caregivers.”

Thank you for your love and kindness ! 🫶🏿🥰”
“Geovanna was absolutely wonderful with Freya! She was able to help us on such short notice, and we’re so grateful for how welcoming she and her family were. She sent us consistent updates throughout Freya’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Freya looked so happy, comfortable, and like she was genuinely enjoying her time with them. 🥰 We seriously can’t thank Geovanna enough for taking such great care of our girl and welcoming her into her home. We’ll absolutely keep her in mind anytime we’re back in the area and need someone to watch Freya again. Highly recommend! 💕”
“Rich was great! He kept me updated with Kash and had excellent communication throughout. I was so nervous at first, but everything worked out perfectly. Thanks again!”

“Had to go out of town for the weekend and left my little dog with Felice and Tyler. They have a nice fenced yard and dog friendly house which is great. You can tell they love dogs and are very knowledgeable about them. My dog, Sophie, is not used to being around other dogs so I was worried she would not fit in, but it was unfounded. We had a meet and great a couple weeks beforehand so she met their dog and sniffed around the backyard. I got periodic updates and photos, which was reassuring. I will definitely take her there in the future.”
“Brandon was so accommodating and kind when I needed a last minute sitter. He sent lots of pictures and updated me that Molly was doing well. Molly seemed like she had a blast playing with his dog and getting to run around in the backyard”
“Donnell and his wife took amazing care of my young German Shepherd male named Harry. They updated me frequently and made sure to send me lots of photos. Harry loved hanging out with their two cute pups and followed Donnell everywhere. I felt so safe and confident to have him in their care while I traveled for business and couldn’t be more thankful. I would recommend this family 100% to watch any breed of dog because of their experience and passion for dogs. Thank you guys!”

“Jasmine is so fabulous! She is extremely kind, smart, and experienced, so she was thoughtful about how to introduce our dog to another dog she was caring for. The dogs loved each other, which was a little unexpected on our part, which points to Jasmine's attentiveness. She clearly loves animals, and our Tucker really enjoyed staying with her! We appreciated the videos and photos. Jasmine was easy to work with, easy to connect to, generous, and an overall wonderful dog sitter and person! We look forward to seeing her again, and we know Tucker will too!”

“I really appreciate Robin for accommodating my anxious puppy during my visit to Maryland. She was incredibly patient and found safe and effective ways to manage my dog’s tendencies to try to escape due to her separation anxiety and kept a close eye on her, allowing me to attend my family's events with peace of mind. By the third visit, my dog was much more comfortable and playing with the other dogs. I look forward to using Robin's services when I am back visiting Maryland.”
“Layson came back exhausted and I loved it. Nicholas sent updates/pics/videos of Layson having an amazing time. Thank you so much for being accommodating and taking such great care of Layson.”
About: I truly believe pets are part of the family—and when they’re in my care, that’s exactly how I treat them. ❤️ I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including walking, drop-in visits, and caring for them in both my home and their own homes. I love getting to know each dog and figuring out what makes them happy. Whether they want to play, go for a good walk, get lots of attention, or simply curl up beside me, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m an active, engaged pet sitter and love playing, talking to, and spending time with my furry friends. Once they’re in my care, they become part of my family. I enjoy playing with cats too, and giving them attention, but I also understand that many cats are happiest doing their own thing. I’m perfectly comfortable letting a cat have their space while keeping a watchful eye and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, fed, and cared for. My home is smoke-free, clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I keep food safely stored in cupboards and maintain a clean and sanitized environment. I’m mindful about keeping floors and common areas clean and making sure pets have a safe, comfortable place to relax. I have lengthy experience with large aquarium set ups with fish, turtles, geckos and lizards. Most importantly, I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s individual routine and personality. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated while you’re away, and treat your home and belongings with the same care I would want someone to give mine. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a playmate, a quiet companion, medication reminders, a cozy place to stay, or simply someone to keep them company—I’m happy to help. Your pets aren’t just pets to me. They’re little members of the family, and they deserve to be treated that way. 🐾 P.S. Rover is my first experience charging for pet care and that’s why I don’t have many jobs posted or reviews. Previously I traded services or offered free. I have been a Trusted Housesitters member for over 6 years. Meet n Greets are required for first time services. Please allow the necessary time frames. My current availability is as such: Flexibility during the day/evening for regular and drop in-walks, drop-in visits, pet care, 7 days a week. Holidays: Same availability and services at a modified fee. I’m also happy to care for pets in my home for doggy daycare care or boarding when the timing is a good fit. I know pets do best with consistency, so I’ll work with you to understand their normal routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. As my schedule changes, I will update my availability as quickly as I can. When you leave your pet in someone else’s care, trust matters. I take that responsibility seriously. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, stick to their normal routines as much as possible, and pay attention to the little things that help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I’ll keep things clean and secure, make sure doors and gates are properly closed, and never take shortcuts when it comes to your pet’s safety. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to doing what I say I’ll do. If something unexpected comes up, I’ll communicate with you rather than making assumptions. Most importantly, I understand that your pet isn’t “just a pet.” They’re family. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet—and to feel confident that they were cared for with kindness, patience, and genuine attention while you were gone. Meet n Greets are required for first time services. Please allow the necessary time frames. 🐾
“My Jessie has separation anxiety, which I is why I bring her to daycare. She did very well with Lidia and Lidia's sweet, mellow dog. I will definitely bring her there again.”
“Kaitlyn was fantastic with our pup shadow! She was extremely flexible with the pick up and drop off time while we were very stressed moving ! I would highly recommend her services to anybody!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, sticking to a routine, or simply relaxing with company, I adapt to their personality and needs. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and genuinely excited to come back. You’ll receive regular photo updates, clear communication, and dependable care from someone who understands that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. Clean home. Reliable care. Happy dogs. Happy humans. I work from home so my schedule is flexible, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I also provide photo and video updates so you always know how your best friend is doing. My home features a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play in a smoke-free environment. I care for every dog based on their individual routine, personality, and needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a laid-back senior. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following crate-training routines, and maintaining the structure your dog is used to at home. I host only one family of pets at a time, allowing me to provide personalized attention without the stress of overcrowding. Dogs are left alone for no more than 1-2 hours a day.
“We are out of state and needed someone last minute to watch our dog so we can freely explore DC, Veronica was super accommodating, understanding and incredibly patient with my antics. Nothing but the best for our baby boy and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in good hands.”
“Ms. Ginnie was amazing with my dog Captain! She gave me updates, sent pictures of him playing, and was very easy to contact/communicate with! She’s incredibly helpful and kind. I would recommend her to anyone who needs animal care!”
“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!”
About: I've had dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahua to Great Dane and Great Pyrenees (multiple at a time), over the last fifteen years. I've cared for my rescue pup Dumpling on my own for the last five, and have helped to rehab her into the lovebug she is today. I like talking multiple walks per day, will give your fur baby lots of love and attention, and I work from home so they will always have a watchful over them. I understand how much pet owners love and cherish their babies, so I will treat them like they're my own while I have them. I work remotely full time and can be fairly flexible if needed. I walk my own dog four times a day, and she loves having walk buddies, so we'd of course take your pet along. On the weekends, I like going for extra long walks, so if that's something that your pet enjoys, they'll have a great time with me. I live in an apartment downtown, so I don't have a fenced area, but I let pets have free reign in my apartment. There are also two dog parks within walking distance, so for extra and off-leash play time, we can spend lots of time there.
“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!”

“Liz and Jeffrey were so wonderful with Lola and Daisy! It was fairly last minute and they were incredibly understanding. They provided a lot of information about their home and care that made me feel so much better about dropping my girls off with them. They even got to attend the eclipse viewing party with some fabulous kids!! They provided lots of updates and videos which helped me enjoy a long day at work. One of the best Rover experiences I've ever had, if not the very best!!”
About: Dogs have always been part of our family, and I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a family with three friendly dogs, we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. We provide a clean, structured, and supervised home where dogs receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, and affection throughout the day. We are experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, crate-trained dogs, and multi-dog households. Every dog is treated like one of our own. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Our goal is to create an stress-free, loving environment where every dog feels at home. My family and I have a flexible schedule that allows us to provide consistent care and supervision throughout the day. Because we work from home part of the week, there is almost always someone available to monitor, play with, and care for your dog. We maintain regular feeding schedules, frequent potty breaks, daily exercise, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible and work hard to accommodate each family's needs. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a clean, smoke-free home with a dedicated space designed specifically for boarding dogs, giving them plenty of room to relax, play, and feel comfortable. We have three friendly, well-socialized dogs and always introduce pets carefully to ensure everyone gets along. We closely supervise all interactions and can separate dogs whenever needed for meals, rest, or individual care. We follow each owner's feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special requests. We welcome crate-trained dogs and can accommodate dogs who need extra attention, senior care, or a quieter environment. You'll also receive daily photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.

“Taylor was great! He was communicative, friendly, and provided frequent updates on our mini-Aussie. He watched our dog twice, and we felt extremely comfortable leaving our pup with him both times. Highly recommend using Taylor if you're in the Kingston area!”
“Jasmine is great!! This is my first time using Rover, and I am glad I found her. She is super responsible - asking me about daily routine; taking my dog outside for walk etc. Easy to communicate as well! Highly recommend 🥰🥰”

About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need.

About: Hey all, I have been hosting dogs on Rover on and off for almost 10 years now. My dog Camden really enjoys hanging out with pups and meeting new buddies! I work in DC Monday-Wednesday, but the rest of the week I’m available for boarding and drop ins/walks. I have experience with a ton of breeds, ages, and sizes of pups and am always happy to take them on adventures! I work remotely and have a fenced yard, allowing me to provide supervision pretty much the entire day. My own dog Camden is very dog friendly and would love any friend to play with, inside or outside. I have my own dog as well who loves meeting new friends. I would be happy to take our dogs on group walks or hikes, and have my own backyard for them to play whenever they want.
About: *MY BOOKING FOR NEW CLIENTS IS FULLY CLOSED AT THIS TIME* Hey! My name is Briana and I grew up with groomers and animal rescuers for parents. I was taught how to birth, wean, potty train, and care for many types of animals. I have worked in my parents grooming shop to help over the years and this included walking and bathing dogs. I have not only work experience and lived experience but also my passion for animals especially being a cat/dog mom myself. I have special experience with senior dogs and puppies, including wound care, medicine needs and dedicated time/attention. I can't wait to meet your furry loved one! I work Mon-Sat 7am-12pm at my fulltime job but am able to house sit and do drop ins around that schedule. I would be leaving around 6/630am and back around 12:30/1pm to handle any care needs. I am unable to host animals inside of my home due to my own cat not being a friendly guy. In my clients home I follow all rules set in place as well as keeping your furry loved one comfortable in their existing routines or whatever the client's expectations would be. I prefer taking written directions just so I have something I can always check back to ensure the most efficient care.
“Erica is absolutely wonderful, and takes such good care of my very needy girl! And her notes on the walks are hilarious. I've already recommended her to some friends.”
“Danika did great walking Spunky. She kept a brisk pace to keep my dog active but she also stopped to let Spunky sniff and smell things. Spunky is very happy and comfortable with Danika which isn’t always the case because my dog is a rescue pup. Danika arrived on time and is very professional, I will be using her services again in the future.”
About: I have a Chihuahua dog who is 6 years old, I have been assisting her in two births, I have been with her mother. and I have another male dog that is 4 years old. I love them with all my heart and I would like to work helping dogs who have no way to go out while their owners work. I take my dogs out to relieve themselves three times a day, and once for a long walk.One day they eat chicken, the next day they eat eggs, and I mix it with their dog food. I take my dogs outside to walk and do their physical business. I do this 3 to 4 times a day. And since they are chihuahuas, they like to be with one, they are next to me when I am watching TV. They only eat boiled eggs , chicken and dog food.
“Kathleen was wonderful! Very communicative and easy to work with. Ozzie loved walking with her and we’re grateful for the extra helping hand when traveling for work.”
About: Hello! My name is Lauren. I know it can be nerve wracking being away from your pet, even if it’s just for a few hours. With previous experience working in a veterinary office and pet care for many years, I want to help! I’ve been able to assist many family, friends, and others over the years and have been around animals all my life. I just moved to Maryland and am getting back to Rover again. I look forward to seeing them and taking care of them as if they were my own. I’m currently looking for a job, so I do have a lot of free time. I am able to help in feeding, walking, and playing. I am very transparent and like to update each visit. We can review what that looks like beforehand. Safety is a priority and I want to make this experience excellent for both you and your pet.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with two dogs: a 12 year old Golden Doodle and a 4 year old Cavapoo, so I’m very familiar with both senior dogs and younger, energetic pups. While they are my family dogs and not currently living with me, I’ve been involved in their care my entire life, handling walks and daily responsibilities, especially when my parents were at work and I took on most of their care. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like my own and enjoy getting to know their personalities! I work in the office Monday through Wednesday from 9:00–4:30, so my availability is a bit more limited during those days. However, I’m available during evenings on those days for walks or drop-ins. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, which allows me to be much more flexible throughout the day for pet care. Weekends can vary for me—I tend to be busy Friday evenings and Saturdays, but Sundays are generally open and a good day for me to provide care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to ensure pets are comfortable and following their normal routine. During walks, I focus on safe leash handling and choosing routes based on each dog’s needs. For drop-in visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and lots of play time of course. I always respect clients’ homes and my goal is to keep pets happy, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.
About: I've owned dogs for 13 years and have been professionally training dogs for 5 years. I'm a Certified Professional Trainer who's worked with all breeds, ages, sizes and behaviors.

“Liz and Jeff took outstanding care of Topper during his 8-night holiday stay, and they truly are exceptional dog sitters. Topper had a wonderful time with their family and other dogs, and it was clear he was treated like one of their own. Throughout the stay, they sent frequent video updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, in great shape, and clearly very happy. It was obvious that he’d had plenty of attention, playtime, and care in a safe, loving home environment. Liz and Jeff are reliable, caring, and trustworthy, and we feel very lucky to have found them. We would not hesitate to book them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top‑notch dog sitters.”
“I was so lucky to get such high quality sitters at the last minute—that was my first plus! They arranged the meet and greet so that we could see that my Phoebe was going to fit into their “system.” Everything went smoothie so she could adjust while I was there. When we returned the next day for the drop off, Phoebe experienced separation anxiety which made me uncomfortable leaving, but within a half an hour Ginny texted me some pics of my girl being calm and sitting with Steve. So I could enjoy my vacation knowing that she was well taken care of. Two very lovely, caring, and capable caregivers.”
“Just picked up my pups from staying with Alex for the weekend. They had a great weekend playing with Reese. Alex sent us pics of them and they were so relaxed and happy. They look forward to staying again!!!”

“Reynaldo seem to love his doggies. It was my first experience on Rover and I was skeptical, and a bit scared to be honest, at first to leave my dog. Reynaldo sent pictures and updated frequently. Overall, Luca had a safe and pleasant stay (he even threw a party for one of the other doggies’ birthday) !”
“Another fantastic stay with Theresa. Misa is always so well taken care of at her house and I never have to worry. She sends pictures every day and a check in. Theresa and her daughter Lyv are our go to sitters when we travel.”
