“Anna and Christian were amazing looking after our Stella girl. They took great care of her and sent us frequent updates and pictures! We will definitely be using them again when we go away.”
“Our dog loved staying with Rich, took to him immediately and showed no anxiety of being left. He is a Covid dog and very attached us. Rich sent photos. His fenced yard is great for our dog, we will be return customers.”
“Awesome dog sitter! She kept my dog last minute right before a planned family trip. She made me feel comfortable especially being new to the Rover app. I would recommend anyone to her. Got my dog back today and I already think he is attached to her..lol! Will definitely be using her again!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving Nena with Sarah and her family for the weekend. Sarah lives with her family in an oversized row home, so Nena had lots of room to play. She got along very well with their dog. I received lots of photos throughout the weekend I was gone. Sarah even was able to drop Nena off to my apartment down the road since my husband got in very late the day we needed to pick her up. I had so much peace of mind that my little baby was taken care of while I was gone. Will definitely use Sarah again for boarding!”
“I was very nervous about using Rover as this was my first time leaving Onyx with people she wasn’t familiar with but my sweet pup Onyx was very well taken care of! We received photos and updates from the moment she was dropped off! I can tell that although she missed us, she felt safe. I loved that she was allowed to sleep in the bed and lay on the couch which are things she loves to do at home. We will definitely be booking Meagan for boarding in the future!”
“Theresa is easily my favorite Rover of all time!!! She clearly took great care of my little one and my normally super shy pup felt right at home with no transition period. Which is a first!!! Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Aida was a great sitter for my pup. She was very communicative with me and very attentive towards him. I was able to have peace of mind while on vacation as I was updated with pics and activities throughout each day I was gone. I highly recommend Aida for any of your dog sitting needs.”
“Kionte is AMAZING!! He did a phenomenal job taking care of my dog, Maxwell. He sent me tons of pictures of them having fun and he followed my instructions perfectly considering my dog unfortunately has to take medications temporarily which made it a bit more challenging. Kionte was incredibly responsive and communicated throughout the entire time he watched my dog. I will definitely be using Kionte again soon for helping watch Maxwell. Thank you again!!!”
“I returned from a 2 week trip, and as always came back to pups that were happy & well cared for. I could enjoy my vacation knowing full well they were having a great time and doing well with daily updates and photos. Thanks again, Rey!”
“Jessica is truly amazing. She was able to make my Dog feel apart of her family. I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries of how my dog was getting cared for. I was so blessed to find someone like Jessica. I would definitely, recommend her for your furry friend. I will be rebooking in the future.”
“Crissy has great patience and is very easy to speak with. She sent me pics of my pupper and answered all questions while I was away. I highly recommend Crissy.”
“Like any dog mom, I was nervous to leave my puppy JET for the first time, but Maryfe made the experience so reassuring. She’s an excellent communicator and kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. My puppy had a wonderful time and came home happy. 10/10 !!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Nautica was great! This was the first time boarding my puppy. Nautica scheduled a meet and greet before I left her. And, she was so accommodating - my schedule changed as my flight was delayed. I will book with her again.”
“We suddenly and unexpectedly needed a dog sitter for 6 straight days during the holidays (!!), and were able to book Kaitlyn with less than 24-hours notice. She was quick to reply, so understanding and compassionate, and made us feel a little less stressed about leaving town without our dog. She sent updates and photos throughout, and it was clear our dog was having a great time snuggling and playing with her and her own dogs. We would definitely hire Kaitlyn again.”
“Meredith was the greatest. My dog, Rembrandt, had had recent eye surgery and required eyedrops and eye ointment up to 5 times a day and has diabetes requiring blood sugar monitoring and insulin injections twice daily. She took great care of Rembrandt for nearly a month. I will definitely use her services in the future.”
“Molly was an amazing sitter! Vienna is elderly with multiple medical problems, and Molly couldn’t have been more patient, understanding, and attentive regarding her needs. I felt so relaxed having her with Molly for her overnight stay and Vienna was so happy and comfortable with her stay. Thank you Molly!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“My doggies love going to Robin’s house! She takes incredible care of my two dogs and she made the entire experience stress-free. Not only was she and her family kind and attentive, but they were also incredibly flexible—willing to take my dogs at the last minute when I needed help. It was clear from the start that my dogs felt comfortable and well cared for, and I appreciated the updates and communication throughout their stay. Knowing they were in such good hands gave my family peace of mind. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and accommodating dog boarder, I highly recommend Robin. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Shruti and Hazel (her beautiful dog) took such great care of Nani. I was out of the country for 8 days and I honestly thought Nani might think she belonged to Shruti now! That's what great care they gave her!”

“Kal has been a dream come true—I cannot praise her highly enough. My cats are very shy and can be anxious when I’m not around. Kal went above and beyond to meet them at their comfort level and help them feel secure. For the first time in their five years of life, they actually came out to interact with a sitter. That’s the kind of energy Kal has. From booking through sitting, she has been extremely thorough, detail oriented, and easy to communicate with. I feel so much better knowing that my boys have her to hang out with while I’m away. Your pets new favorite spare human indeed! Thank you so much Kal ❤️🐾”
“Gabrielle was amazing!! She took such good care of my 2 cats. Even when she was sick for a few days, she still made sure to take care of them well. I would highly recommend her as a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I love cats! I have watched a variety of cats, from those who love affection to those who would prefer to be left alone. I understand cats have more boundaries that need to be respected, and I'm happy to respect those boundaries while still making your cat is well taken care of. You will see in my photos that I am a very approachable person for all animals, and I am pretty good at reading the vibe of our interactions and know when to back off if needed (or keep petting if they love it!).
“Nataly was incredible! She was thorough with her care and communication with my cats. She sent adorable pictures which were wonderful to look at on my long vacation. One of my cats is incredibly shy, timid, and terrified of strangers but I could see through the pics that by the third day she was snuggling up with Nataly. I highly recommend this sitter.”
“Brianna is an amazing Catsitter! Not only did my cats really love her but she was amazing at sending updates and being attentive towards them and their needs! Will definitely be booking her again for my future cat sitting needs!”
“Jenna did such a great job with my cats! She was reliable. She was able to check in on them when I had an unexpected delay. My cats were so well taken care of.”
“Autumn did a great job with my 2 cats! I felt at ease knowing she would have be caring for them. She sent multiple photos of both cats at all visits. She is punctual and professional. I highly recommend and will be rebooking soon.”
“Jun did an amazing job taking care of my cat last minute, they were thorough, and very easy to work with. Would consider myself lucky to have him watch him again. Thank you!”
“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!!”
“Arianna took absolutely wonderful care of my home and pet cat, Coco, over the holiday break. Coco has particular medical needs that require knowledge about animal behavior and medication administration, which always makes me nervous when leaving for any amount of time. Arianna was an extremely capable and reliable caregiver for all of Coco's medical/physical needs, which was a huge burden off of my shoulders while I traveled. She sent me regular photos and updates throughout her stay, and you could tell that she really loves animals and that Coco in turn really loved her. I would 1000% recommend Arianna to anyone and am hoping to work with her again in the future.”
“Julie did a great job as always!!! Reliable, dependable and great taking photos and a video each time she visited. She took great care of our cat.”
“Nina was so wonderful and communicative. She sent lots of pictures and thorough daily updates. It was wonderful to know that our kitty was being so well cared for.”
“Kathleen was great! Very quick to respond and gave me regular updates, I was very happy with the experience and would love to have her cat-sit again!”
“Vita was very professional and courteous. She went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were taken care of. Would 100% recommend for a home visit, especially for dogs that require a little extra care and attention.”
“Katie was so awesome taking care of Cooper and Sophie! She took our request on the day before we had to leave and she was so easy to work with. She put a normally anxious dog dad at peace immediately with how she was able to easily befriend both of our dogs and was instantly chilling with both of them. She was right on time, the pics of the dogs were comforting, and the dogs both looked happy and at peace. I recommend her for anyone that’s looking to have their dogs watched and will definitely reach out to her in the future.”

“We could not have had a better experience with Veronica! We were just in town for the weekend for a conference and needed a day care for the dogs one day. Veronica was so accommodating and sought to make our 2 pups feel right at home. She gave us plenty of photos throughout the day which was very comforting and so cute to see our pups with the other dogs. If ever we need dog sitting in Bmore again we will definitely seek her out again!”
“Liz was so kind and amazing with Maverick. Sent me pics and updates throughout the day and even helped teach Mav some new skills. I felt super comfortable trusting her and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“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.”
“Lexi-Saige took to Jessica immediately. She slept with her and hung-out by her side all day. I'm glad my precious girl felt comfortable and enjoyed her day while I was out of town. Thanks Jessica!”
About: 10 years fostering dogs with a local shelter—puppies, medical cases, reactive dogs, seniors, and the shy ones who need extra patience. My favorites are large dogs and blockheads (staffies, rotties, pit mixes), though a small dog sneaks in now and then (frenchies, Havanese, corgi, etc). I'm new to Rover but not to petsitting. I've cared for dogs from families who adopted my fosters for years, and I've been active on Wag! At my house, dogs get on the furniture, play hard, and get spoiled. Belly rubs, butt scratches, and ear massages come standard. My goal is to send your dog home happy, loved and tired. I'm self-employed and work from home when dogs stay with me. (My clients are used to dogs making an appearance during Zoom calls.) I'm a runner so long walks with dogs is just part of the fitness routine. I match my schedule to your dog's feeding and bathroom schedule. Every dog that comes here is treated with patience and care. Some arrive nervous, anxious, or unsure—maybe a potty accident in a new space, maybe hesitant to settle. My job is to help them feel safe, give them time to decompress, and meet them where they are. When they're ready, I'm here for play and snuggles. I have a fenced yard and my property backs up to a park. Dogs get regular walks, plus potty breaks. If a dog needs shorter, lower-key outings, we do on-leash trips to the park right behind the house. If your dog is reactive, we do backyard potty breaks and walk off-peak hours on a specific path to minimize potential sightings of other dogs.
“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.”
“Shanikki is great with all dog breeds and they feel comfortable in her care. She is great at communicating and always gets back to booking requests promptly. So thankful for her great pet sitting!”
About: I provide dependable, patient, and personalized care for every pet I watch. I am especially attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and behavioral cues to ensure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I have experience caring for energetic puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who require a gentler approach and close monitoring. I understand the importance of exercise, enrichment, and positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, clear communication, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like family, providing updates, photos, and peace of mind while you are away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to be fully present and attentive throughout the day. I am able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime without long gaps in between. Since I am already structured with feeding schedules, morning and evening walks, and enrichment time for my own dog, adding another pet into my routine feels natural and organized. I also have home cameras for added security and peace of mind, which allows me to monitor pets even if I step into another room or step out briefly. This setup helps ensure pets are always safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In my home, safety and structure always come first. I maintain a clean, pet friendly environment with clear boundaries and supervision at all times. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended for long periods. I also have home cameras for added monitoring and peace of mind. One of the biggest advantages of my space is access to a fenced indoor dog park. This allows dogs to safely run, play, and burn energy in a secure, controlled environment regardless of weather. Playtime is always supervised, and I separate pets as needed based on temperament, size, and energy level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, including feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routes, and house rules. I prioritize consistency so pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar space. Trust is everything to me. I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Hey Friend, I love pets! I helped my dad train our puppy for a little over 8 years. I’ve been walking dogs for 4 years and I’ve adopted and rescued two puppies in the last 2 years. I enjoy training and caring for pets of all ages and sizes! There’s no dog to small, large, loud or anything in between for me! Just like people, I meet pets where they are. Plus, living on Patterson park makes everything even better! Pet care is heavily integrated in my daily routine. As I have puppies, I walk them 3 times a day in the park and around the neighborhood. This outside time is for: • Exercise • Bathroom • Brain stimulation (Sniffing) • Reactivity Training We also play games inside and work on reinforcing foundational skills around things like eating, waiting to go outside and getting treats. Patterson park and the dog park are literally right next to my house! So we have ample walking and running space! I also have a fenced outdoor area, it is concrete so it’s generally used for playing games that don’t require a large field. We play sniffing games indoors to keep the puppy stimulated and also have structured feeding and nap times based on your preference.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve helped care for pets for years by providing walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable working with energetic puppies, helping reinforce routines and basic commands, as well as senior pets who need a slower pace, medication support, and extra comfort. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe and happy in my care. I’m available Thursday through Saturday, both day and night so you can have fun in the weekend. I’m able to provide walks, drop-ins, overnight care, and extended attention during these days, including weekends. This allows me to be fully present, flexible, and attentive to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in my home, I always follow the pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get regular walks, I also live next to a park or playtime, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to instructions such as medication schedules, training routines, and any special needs. I also keep the space clean and secure, provide updates to owners, and treat every home and pet with respect—just as I would my own.
“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 🥰🥰”
“Sonoma had a GREAT first day at Peter’s. He sent pictures throughout the day. And flight cancellations meant we picked her up hours later than expected, but Peter was super flexible.”
“Dorcas responded very quickly to my ad to watch my little boy spot. She even drove to my work to pick him up for me. She immediatly sent me pics & was very easy to communicate about his needs. I know spot loves her already & we are so happy we found such a kind, loving and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I’ve personally trained my own beagle and have also helped friends and neighbors with walking, feeding, administering medications, and basic training. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own—patiently, kindly, and attentively. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior, I adapt to their unique needs and personality. I’m also familiar with dog behavior and safety, and I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I work from home as a software developer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I take regular breaks, which I use for walks, playtime, or simply giving your pet some extra love and attention. This routine allows me to be fully present and responsive to your dog’s needs, whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, or just being there for comfort and companionship. I maintain a clean, quiet, and pet-friendly home with secure spaces where dogs can feel comfortable and safe. I follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and take the time to get to know each dog’s habits, limits, and preferences. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, positive environment with consistent routines, supervision, and lots of affection. I also take safety seriously leash control, safe spaces, and always monitoring behavior to ensure everyone is happy and secure.
“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!”
“Karla was absolutely amazing with Sausage. Sausage is a very elderly dog with mobility and anxiety issues and Karla was able to care for and watch over him with patience and persistence, trying multiple ways to calm and soothe him until he was eventually able to settle down. I don’t trust my little pup with just anyone, and Karla never once gave me reason to worry. Clear communication from the get-go with multiple updates throughout the stay. I can’t say enough good things about Karla. We will definitely be asking her to watch Sausage again in the future!”

“Kal was great! She came and got the dogs from our hotel which was a huge help. She did a good job walking them and feeding them for us. She worked with our schedule to meet up prior to her coming to take them out. I highly recommend Kal!”
“Canaan was able to make a last minute call, coming to walk two dogs! He was patient with meeting new pups, listening to directions, and truly enjoying the experience!”
About: I've always enjoyed being around dogs and staying active, and I bring those two passions together by providing dependable walks and runs tailored to each dog's needs. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxed neighborhood walk or is a high-energy breed that benefits from a light jog, I'll adjust every outing to match their age, fitness level, and personality. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to each dog's behavior, provide water breaks when needed, avoid running in unsafe weather conditions, and make sure every walk or jog is comfortable for your pet. I believe exercise should be enjoyable, never forced. I'm reliable, punctual, and committed to treating every dog as if they were my own. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages after each visit so you can feel confident that your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. I'm excited to meet your furry family member and provide them with the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. As a college student with a flexible summer schedule, I have plenty of availability to spend time with your furry friends. I am available every day during the summer and can provide consistent walks and runs. Your dog's safety and comfort are my highest priorities. During every visit, I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep your dog securely leashed unless you've requested otherwise in a safe enclosed area, provide fresh water as needed, and monitor for signs of fatigue or overheating. Every walk or jog is tailored to your dog's age, fitness level, and personality. I'll treat your home and your pet with respect and send photo updates so you know your dog is happy and safe.
About: I've taken care of all different kinds of pets since I was 15, ranging from small dogs like westies and dachshunds to big dogs like pitbulls and Newfoundlands, as well as cats, and small mammals like guinea pigs. I work from home so I can watch your pet at my house, or I can stop by and sit them for a while, and I also have experience house sitting pets. I currently work from home and make my own hours, so I can work around your pet's schedule. I can take care of them at my house or watch them in their own home. I have a fenced in yard and multiple floors with pet gates on each level to keep your pets separated from own if it is needed.
“SJ is wonderful to work with. The notes they provided after the daily walks meant so much to me while I was away from my fur-baby. Highly, highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs, from puppies to a 15 year old coonhound with three legs. No matter the case, I provide top tier care and ensure excellent communication with pet parents. I work an events jobs with short shifts that don’t require me to be away for more than a few hours, allowing ample time for morning, afternoon, and evening care. Happy to provide long or short term care! I am happy to stick to your pet’s normal routine and will do whatever is needed to make them comfortable. I am very comfortable administering medication/ making meals if your pet has a special diet, going on long walks, playing with their favorite toy, and will make sure to meet their needs!
About: I grew up surrounded by different pets but mainly dogs. As an adult I've been exposed to cats and I get to feed my neighbors cats now and then. Currently, I have two dogs, Flash and Mina, who I've been taking care of since they were puppies. My dogs are highly energetic, so I don't mind taking care of dogs with a lot of energy. Due to my schedule flexibility, I can help with potty training as well. I am currently self-employed and mostly work from home. I can adjust my schedule to mostly any pet routine. I can walk dogs many times per day as needed. For right now, I am not offering boarding as my two dogs prefer to have their own space. However, I am happy to take care of your pet in their environment and to keep their routine to make them feel as calm as possible while you are away.
“Alex did a great job walking my senior pup the past two weeks! He's very responsive on the app and was even willing to be flexible on the timing when something came up last minute. I recommend him for anyone looking for a dependable walker. Thanks Alex!”
“Taylor has been walking Mia for a couple weeks now and have been exceptional every time. She is always on time and sends a lot of pictures! Mia also loves being walked by Taylor. I would highly recommend Taylor for your walk and stay needs!”
About: I’ve had pets and dogs in my family since I was 12. My neighbors growing up always trusted me to dog sit or walk their dogs while they managed their busy schedules. I’ve helped friends and classmates with their pets in my free time during grad school while they traveled or needed to study for exams. I love walking so why not take a furry friend with me! I’m currently working from home and doing freelance work so I have a lot of free time. My schedule is pretty flexible. I can work around your schedule! I will primarily be walking your dog in parks, trails, and neighborhoods with sidewalks to ensure safety. If you have a yard available, even better!
“Susannah is a wonderful dog walker. She obviously loves dogs. She’s reliable always on time and Gracie gets great walks. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Julie is absolutely wonderful! I can tell she genuinely cares for the pets she’s watching. She’s quite diligent, prompt, and responsive. I would recommend her to any one who needs a dog walker/sitter”
About: I’ve been around all animals since I was a young child. I will treat your babies like they are my own. I have alot of experience with puppies and senior dogs. Fur babies are always prioritized. I am available to take the dogs out 2-3 times a day as needed. Most of the time if I’m in the house the dogs with be relaxing and cuddling with me or playing with each other. If I leave or go to work the dogs are crated. I have several parks nearby so that your baby can get out, stretch, and get fresh air. I can crate your baby as well. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby.
“Amazing dog walkers ! Helped my pup through a little GI upset he was having. She even cleaned him up for me while I was at work so he wouldn’t have to wait. I’m so grateful!”
About: My partner, Tae, and I are parents to a 7 year Maltipoo named Luna! While we are new to Rover, we’ve been dog sitting for friends and neighbors as a team for 3 years (and individually much longer). Tae, Luna, and I love other dogs and are happy to welcome other dogs into our family for whatever length of time! We are also able to provide walks and visits locally. Our Luna has separation anxiety and many fears (we really hate the vet, thunderstorms, LED lights, tin foil, Android ringtones...) so we are quite experienced dealing with anxiety and medication administration. Tae and I both have flexible work schedules and will not accept bookings unless we know we can offer the time and attention your dog needs! We work as a pet parent team and both have flexible work schedules! Depending on your pet’s needs, we can coordinate to make sure they are not left alone for longer than you are comfortable with (if at all). We love going on long walks and hanging out at dog parks and dog-friendly breweries and are happy to include these activities to the extent you are comfortable, otherwise we always enjoy snuggles at home :) We have a fenced yard (a little gem in the city!) and a friendly Maltipoo! Dogs are welcome on furniture, but we can respect whatever your pet’s routine is.
About: I've always had a dog growing up and my parents made sure that me and my sisters were a part of training and raising a great dog. I've wanted my own pup forever and in 2019 when I was 100% ready to take on the responsibility, I got my best buddy, Atlas. We began our training at 16 weeks and are still going strong learning new skills and mastering old ones. My fiancé loves to say we "got such a great dog", but I know that Atlas and I worked our butts off to earn those compliments from strangers. In 2022 we adopted Dover into our little family giving Atlas a forever playmate. Dover is surprisingly 100% GSD which provided quite a learning curve as his training needs strongly differed from Atlas'. Working with Dover gave me a deeper understanding of dogs with separation anxiety and fear reactivity (barking) which has made me that much more prepared to work with any pup. I don't believe there are bad dogs, but every dog can have a bad day. As someone with a pup who is more reserved and particular about meeting new people, I understand the fear that comes with leaving your dog with someone new. It is my goal to love and understand your pup the same way you do so that you can feel comfortable being away. I'm embarrassingly obsessed with being the best dog owner, so I am constantly trying to learn how to best interact with dogs (and cats!) or fun new ways to engage my playful boys. I am the person friends call when they need help with their pets in any capacity-training, boarding, dog park visits, etc. My commitment to extraordinary pet care extends well past just my own boys. I can't wait to make your life as a pet parent just a little bit easier! Let's chat. 😊 I currently have a wide open schedule so I am available whenever your pet needs. I'm a morning person, so I don't mind the early morning walks. 🌞 As someone who understands that sometimes the need for short notice pet care is unavoidable, I am here to help step in when you need it most! Ever pet parent knows the best way to care for their pets, so I will always follow your guidance or suggestions. I love playing with pets and burning off that excess energy; I'm not one to just stop in and fill the water bowl-you can rest easy knowing snuggles always come after some exercise. I also love receiving updates or pictures of my boys when under someone else's care and I am happy to provide that to parents who prefer some pooch pics in the middle of the work day.

“Our dog loved staying with Rich, took to him immediately and showed no anxiety of being left. He is a Covid dog and very attached us. Rich sent photos. His fenced yard is great for our dog, we will be return customers.”
“Awesome dog sitter! She kept my dog last minute right before a planned family trip. She made me feel comfortable especially being new to the Rover app. I would recommend anyone to her. Got my dog back today and I already think he is attached to her..lol! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Kionte is AMAZING!! He did a phenomenal job taking care of my dog, Maxwell. He sent me tons of pictures of them having fun and he followed my instructions perfectly considering my dog unfortunately has to take medications temporarily which made it a bit more challenging. Kionte was incredibly responsive and communicated throughout the entire time he watched my dog. I will definitely be using Kionte again soon for helping watch Maxwell. Thank you again!!!”
“I returned from a 2 week trip, and as always came back to pups that were happy & well cared for. I could enjoy my vacation knowing full well they were having a great time and doing well with daily updates and photos. Thanks again, Rey!”
“Crissy has great patience and is very easy to speak with. She sent me pics of my pupper and answered all questions while I was away. I highly recommend Crissy.”
“Like any dog mom, I was nervous to leave my puppy JET for the first time, but Maryfe made the experience so reassuring. She’s an excellent communicator and kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. My puppy had a wonderful time and came home happy. 10/10 !!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“We suddenly and unexpectedly needed a dog sitter for 6 straight days during the holidays (!!), and were able to book Kaitlyn with less than 24-hours notice. She was quick to reply, so understanding and compassionate, and made us feel a little less stressed about leaving town without our dog. She sent updates and photos throughout, and it was clear our dog was having a great time snuggling and playing with her and her own dogs. We would definitely hire Kaitlyn again.”
“Molly was an amazing sitter! Vienna is elderly with multiple medical problems, and Molly couldn’t have been more patient, understanding, and attentive regarding her needs. I felt so relaxed having her with Molly for her overnight stay and Vienna was so happy and comfortable with her stay. Thank you Molly!”
“Shruti and Hazel (her beautiful dog) took such great care of Nani. I was out of the country for 8 days and I honestly thought Nani might think she belonged to Shruti now! That's what great care they gave her!”
“Gina was amazing! We had so much anxiety about leaving our girl for our wedding and Gina eased that worry x10! She sent us pictures, videos, and feedback about how arty was doing the whole stay! We will absolutely use Gina again!”
“My Teddy Graham had such a great time at Donnell’s! He came home happy, well fed, and well rested. Donnell kept me updated with great photos and details about my dog’s stay the entire time. Having the opportunity to play with their dogs, Bella and Gizmo, was the cherry on top. Teddy Graham can’t wait to go back!”
“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“We felt so comfortable leaving Remi with Julia! Remi is under a year old and it was his first time away from us. Julia helped make that experience easy for him and us by being timely, organized, and responsive. She sent texts with beautiful pictures to let us know how he was doing— which made us feel confident in our decision to leave for the holidays. Thank you Julia! We are looking forward to the next time we need to board him.”
“Esterline was flexible, affectionate and communicative!!! Lucky had the best time with her and I could relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that Lucky was well taken care of ❤❤❤ My kiddos also adore her (they are tough to please!!) We will book with her again!!!!”
“Nathalie was great with our dog, and her dog Nico is slapper friendly and playful with other dogs. I really felt like she gave my dog Piper the attention she needed, and was reassured about her well being with regular photo and video updates. I also appreciated her flexible dropoff and pickup times. I will definitely book with Nathalie again if she is available!”
“Casey is usually too nervous to eat when at a new persons house, but she was comfortable enough to eat at Marina's. That's a huge testament to Marina :)”
“We are so happy we found Andrew! He is very responsive and so good at what he does. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with him for almost a week, and he sent many updates the entire time. Will definitely be booking again soon - thank you so much!”
“Loved loved LOVED Nicole. King’s transition was so smooth. She stayed in communication. Made us feel comfortable from the beginning to the end. King will definitely be back.”
“Kyra was fantastic— she boarded my dog Bruno for me for 13 days, and I would 100% recommend her. She sent updates and pictures throughout my trip, and I could tell my dog was happy and healthy when I got back. Her dog Karma was also so sweet and gentle with my dog. Definitely will use Kyra’s services in the future if needed!”
