“Virginia and Steven were great with Bonnie. They were very understanding and patient when my travel plans slightly changed and I needed to change my pick up time. We had a small issue with Bonnie’s food, and they went out and found a replacement for her!”
“As always Robin was very attentive to our pups! They are always very excited to visit her home and they always seem so happy in the pictures and videos that she sends us! Thank you, Robin for taking such great care of our pups! We appreciate it and would definitely recommend her services to anyone.”
“Veronica took very good care of Ruby! We received pictures and updates during our stay. Ruby came home very tired from all the fun she had. We will definitely use veronica again in the future!”
“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.”
“Priscilla is AWESOME! She took great care of our dog - who is demanding and spoiled ? - just like he was at home. We could see in all the photos she sent that he was happy and thoroughly enjoyed his time with her! We’ll definitely be calling on her again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Shruti did an amazing job with Prince! She treated him just like her own dog. He was well cared for and loved. She sent nice pictures while I was away. I don’t think Prince missed me at all; he was so happy with Shruti.”
“This was our first experience using Rover and it was great! Brittanie and Ryan were flexible and easy to communicate with, shared photos throughout our pet’s stay, and overall made it easy to be away without worrying about her. Would definitely return the next time we need pet care!”
“Sarah was great. My dog looked right at home & had lots of fun & snuggles. Sent great pics/updates. & was able to accommodate a last minute extra night due to flight delay. Def recommend!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Nikki. She took amazing care of my dog while I was out of town. She was attentive, kept me updated and included photos, which gave me peace of mind. When I came back, my dog was happy, healthy and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Fatty had the absolute best time staying with her family. He was showered with affection, got tons of cuddles, and even got treated to pup cups. He loved them so much and we are so happy he has an open invitation to return anytime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like family!”
“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.”
“Thank you soooo much Lia! She really came in clutch with the last minute booking in the middle of a snow storm! Long story short I work at the ER and was expected to stay over at least for 5days to cover outa due to the snow. She accepted “Kash” the day of and treated him so well. How do I know this you ask? Because for one I’ve had other people watch my dog before and he came back to me timid and afraid. So I knew something wasn’t right. But Lia she kept me involved every step of the way and answered whenever I contacted her in record time. If she will have us we will definitely be returning 💕 She’s a true animal lover and it shows😇”
“I have left Yoda with Lingli on multiple occasions when I'm out of town. My experience with her has always been great! She takes very good care of him and he is always happy to see her :) She is also very diligent at keeping me updated with photos which I greatly appreciate! I highly recommend her :)”
“Theresa was fantastic and we really appreciated her accommodating a last minute booking for Saber. She kept us well informed with daily updates and pictures and was very thorough in understanding the needs of our German Shepherd. I would definitely recommend booking with her and would love for her to watch Saber again!”
“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! 💕”
“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!”
“Kelly and her husband are simply amazing. From booking to post-pick-up, their communication was clear and timely. During Leo's stay with them, Kelly sent me photos, videos, and update comments numerous times throughout the day. It made a huge difference for me and my daughter (9 yo) who missed Leo very much during our trip. They were so warm and kind to Leo, and I could tell that they truly cared for the pet they were looking after. They took Leo to exciting walks, let him play off leach in their backyard, and cuddled with him. I know they've done all of this because they send me so many pictures. Leo looked very comfortable and content in the photos and videos. I highly recommend Kelly and her husband!!!”

“Helen was amazing! I'm so glad I found her on Rover. She responded to my initial query quickly and with a friendly and professional demeanor. She offered to come by and meet my cats and receive care instructions and was very easy to schedule with. Throughout the process, before during and after my trip out of town, she responded quickly to all my texts and was very kind about my nervousness about leaving my cats at home alone together for an extended period for the first time, providing plenty of reassurance and listening to all instructions with care. She sent great text and photo updates with each visit and followed all the care instructions to the letter and exactly on time for each visit, and she treated my home with care while she was here. I could not have asked to find a better sitter! I will definitely reach back out to her for all my future pet-sitting needs.”
“Amanda was great! She was super communicative and flexible and took good care of my boy. She even cleaned up his giant mess when he knocked over a bottle of olive oil (which would have been quite awful to come home to after vacation!) I would definitely recommend her and use her cat sitting services again!”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I was uncertain about it at first but Mel was amazing and gave me comfort knowing my fur babies were being cared for while I was away. I plan to hire Mel again in a couple of months for my next trip. Highly recommend Mel and Rover.com. Thanks, Mel!”
“Thank you for doing a great job, Sophie! My 8 year old DSH cat named Scooby is very skittish and hides whenever anyone comes into our home. Sophie was very respectful of that and didn't try to entice him to come out from hiding (which is what I preferred). Sophie sent me updates with photos each time she completed a drop-in and followed all my instructions. I left for vacation knowing thst Scooby was in good hands. I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone desiring pet care.”
“Fallon recently did drop in visits with my cat for 8 days. This was my first time booking with her. Prior to booking with Fallon, she asked great questions & took a lot of notes when we did a meet & greet, which I loved! She took such great care of my fur baby. My cat seemed very happy with her as well. I received several pictures & updates each day. She even vacuumed up the litter that he flung from his box (thank you for doing this)! Fallon is very personable, kind, caring & compassionate. I highly recommend her if you are in need of someone to care for your pet!”
“Samantha was a great repeat walker for us! AlaHs responsive, and she followed my pedantic neighborhood dog rules to a T (again lol I'm so sorry but great work), avoiding the houses she had to avoid, etc. I would trust her again!”
“Nicole and her family took very great care of our feline Girls. They could not have been in better hands. She sent plenty of pictures and videos to us. We will definitely use her again.”
“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”
“Esther is THAT GIRL! She is familiar with our fur babies, gentle, respectful of their space and their personalities. This is our second time booking Esther and we plan to book her again, if she’s available. Esther thanks for being amazing and professional. 🙏🏾”
“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
“This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit hesitant but Carolyn B. made me feel secure with my animals under her care. She was prompt, thorough and conscientious for all of the visits while I was away. She stayed in communication with me and responded promptly to any of my questions. I recommend Carolyn and would use her again!”
“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
“She was fantastic, sent us pictures of our baby while we were away and we could tell that she truly cared for her. Our baby was so happy with her if you have a cat that needs a friend this is who you’re looking for!!!”
About: I've taken care of my own cat while I had her who I took care of through a pregnancy and then raised her kittens till they were adopted. I love to sit around with a cat on my lap but am also happy to play with them and tire them out! I'm happy to clean litterboxes and any hairballs that may be left behind.
About: I’ve taken care of my cat for the past 10 years. As she has grown into her senior years, I have learned to look for concerns, provide medication, and adjust to her. I know how to clean litter boxes, provide food/water, and clean up any messes!

“Today was Lola’s first adventure with Virginia and Steve. As I’m typing this, Lola is knocked out on the floor because of all the fun she had! They updated me and I really feel thankful that I found this great couple. It never easy to leave our little ones, but at least I can say she was certainly well cared for!”
“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.”
“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.

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.
“Odessa is such a great sitter! My frenchie is always excited to go to her house where he gets tons of attention and plenty of play time. She truly cares for your pet as if it were her own. She’s sends pictures, is very communicative and flexible with my chaotic work schedule. I am at ease and know my dog is in good hands with Odessa. Highly recommended!!!”
“Kassandra was absolutely magnificent! Super kind, caring, and incredibly gentle with Chloe. I’m beyond grateful for the thoughtful, detailed care she provided. She’s truly a wonderful human, and Chloe already adores her. Thank you so much!”

Sadie was always so happy to go to doggy day care in the morning. If I am ever back in the area, I will definitely book with Liz and Jeffery for any type of care they provide.”

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.
About: Whether your cat is an energetic kitten who needs active playtime, a senior requiring precise medication, or a shy kitty who just wants a quiet human presence, I've got you covered! I've had cats my entire life and have been cat-sitting for friends and family for years. Cats absolutely fascinate me and I love being around them! I am currently in college, so cat-care fits in very well with my routine. I can easily fit in morning, midday, or evening drop-in visits without rushing. If I am house-sitting, I structure my day around your pet's needs. I ensure I am present for their preferred feeding windows, high-energy playtimes, and medication schedules. You can rest easy knowing that your cat's daily rhythm will not be disrupted while you are away. When caring for cats in your home, safety and respect are my highest priorities. I treat your property with absolute care and maintain your cat's exact environment, keeping food bowls clean, water fountains filled, and litter boxes taken care of.

“Rodney truly loves animals. He put me at ease, answering all my questions quickly. My dogs have never been boarded, one is 13 and the other 3.

Definitely sending them to Rodney and Marissa again. 😊”

We will certainly be back! Thank you for taking care of Jack for us!”

Nola absolutely lived her best puppy vacation with the wonderful family!!”
