“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“Min & Matthew were great! My pup has some anxiety problems. They were very patient with her and were able to settle her down without using the medication I sent just in case she needed it. I loved all the pictures and videos. They gave our dog lots of love and snuggles. Will absolutely will be using them again in the future.”
“Leo loved his time with Emily! He loved exploring her property and obviously felt comfortable with her based on his behavior when dropping him off and picking him up 🙂”
“Ellen was just wonderful and I know my dog was in good hands while we were gone. She got to run and play and hike on the farm and Ellen sent pictures and videos. Will absolutely use Ellen again to watch our Bella girl!”
“Terri was the epitome of perfect. She was just what my pet Blossom needed. Attention, affection, love, she filled all of those things, and then some. She took many pictures kept us up-to-date, and eased my anxiety!!! I would use her again and again and again, top-notch for sure!!!”
“John and Jess were absolutely amazing with our fur baby!!! So communicative with plenty of pictures and updates. I never had to worry how he was doing, they constantly ensured he was well cared for and all his needs were met. Would definitely rebook when I need a dog sitter again!!”
“Chris and Gerry are so nice, loving, and kind. My girls felt at ease while staying with them. It helps that they only take one client at a time. If you are looking for someone to love your babies like their own, look no further. Definitely book with Chris and Gerry!”
“Chris and his parents were great! Such loving dog people who went above and beyond! They sent me frequent updates with pics and even sent him home with gifts and treats! Mojo seemed very happy and comfortable there :)”
“Janelle & Joel are absolutely fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, and I am so glad I chose them. They sent pics of my pup having the time of his life! Nothing better than having the peace of mind when leaving your fur baby for a weekend! Thanks you two! Will gladly be a returning client!”
“I really appreciated the pictures and videos throughout my dog’s stay. I felt completely at ease leaving him in such capable hands where I knew he got lots of attention, fun, and care!”
“Zeke had a great time at Samantha’s. She gave us constant updates. She took special care of Zeke as he has some hip issues. I glad I found her and would definitely use her services in the future.”
“The whole family was amazing towards sascha and so caring and gentle with her. She was beyond scared and they took their time and made her feel welcome even when she was anxious and so forth. I cant recommend them enough, they are the family you want watching your dog.”
“Barbara took amazing care of my anxious dog. She provided daily updates of how my dog was adjusting. Thankfully, my dog adjusted quickly and had a wonderful time playing with Dobby and the daycare dogs. I was only a little worried my dog wouldn't want to go home because Barbara took such great care of her.”
“Michelle was a great sitter for Milo. She sent pictures daily and communicated how he was doing. Milo got along great with her dog which is always a plus to have a playmate. Highly recommend Michelle for boarding.”
“Nat and Ally took great care of my dog and I can tell he had a great time and was a part of the family for the few days he was there. I got plenty of photos of my dog hanging with their dog and children and he always looked relaxed and happy. Great communication!”
“Rachel and Jason were wonderful with our new puppy. It was our first time leaving her overnight, and the videos and pictures were very reassuring. I know she was loved and well taken care of!”
“This was our first time using Rover or Rene. So glad we did! Our fur babies had a great time and she sent pictures throughout their stay which we loved! I know they loved getting to have a doggy vacation without having to stay in a kennel! Thanks so much Rene! 🐾”
“Annette is truly an amazing dog host. She knows animal behavior so well. Her own pets are wonderful and our dog loved visiting as a guest. She is an expert with regard to introducing pets to one another. I wish he could go on a mini-vacation once a week!”

“Allison is great. This is a repeat booking and I will continue to book with her because she is reliable, quick to respond, and does a great job with my kitty. I definitely recommend her. Oh wow.”
“Brittany is very professional and loved my kitty kat Tucker even though he is terrified of strangers and wouldn't visit with her when she dropped in during the vacation week! She did everything needed for Tucker to be on his own and we would have her back with no hesitation - Thanx Brittany!”
About: We have had cats my whole life basically. I have house sat for friends and neighbors with cats my whole life. I'm 40 now. My mom has two cats I play with constantly since my current home has someone allergic to cats. I have a rabbit now, who acts a lot like a cat. I can give medicine and groom.
“Matthew came last minute for me and did a phenomenal job. I have a Cane Corso and German Shepherd and he handled both without any issues. Def will be using him again and highly recommend him.”
“I know I’ve reviewed Sarah before but I’m doing it again because she’s truly so wonderful and takes such great care of our 2 kitties for us! She was so accommodating when I realized I forgot to book her for a day we needed her and I couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Ximena was wonderful to work with. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and kept me informed about how my cats were doing.. It was great not to have to worry about them when I was away. We are new to the area and will be using her when we travel.”
“Laura was a wonderful sitter and gave her a above 5 stars! Neuro really liked her. He got ready for his dinner when she arrived at the door. She explained about how Neuro was doing. I highly recommend to use her service.”
About: I have always had a pet in my house since the day I was born. Mostly dogs, but I have also had other smaller pets. I now have one 12 year old chocolate lab and one 6 year old black lab that I take care of everyday. Because of this I have experience with puppies and older dogs, along with dealing with more than one pet at a time. I currently have school from 10:30-2:15 but I am free anytime before then and after that. I also am available almost every weekend if needed. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door to get outside and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I love to take my pets on walks or just play with them in the house or yard.
“Bonnie took great care of my cat, Dora, while I was away! Having just moved to the area, it was time to start over with a new sitter and I’m very glad to have found Bonnie! She is a great communicator, sent me lots of pictures and texts, and asked questions as they arose. Dora is normally leery of new people, but it was clear from the pics that Dora connected and felt safe safe with her right away! Bonnie was also super flexible with me on a visit time, helping coordinate a package delivery that was accelerated to while I was gone. It was another stress relieved. Thanks for everything, Bonnie! We’ll be reserving again soon!”
“This is the second time that Annie has come to our house to drop in and care for our cats. My husband and I love that she sends us pictures every time she visits and our cats always welcome her presence. Annie’s prices are reasonable and she communicates very well with us which we greatly appreciate.”
“When we arrived after our five day trip, we encountered our two furbabies freshly woken from a nap, without a care in the world, as if they also had taken a vacation! Wordda made sure our boys were looked after and satisfied. Thank you for everything! <3”
About: Currently a stay at home mom. Prior to being a mom I was a pet sitter for 10+ years, but took some time off to focus on my family. I’m excited to get back to hanging out with all the animals! I grew up on a small horse farm and have always had dogs and cats. I have done horse sitting as well as dog/cats! I currently have an American Staffordshire terrier, Archie! Archie has a unique story to how we adopted him. He was a rescue from a hurricane in NC! I have a big soft spot for rescues and pits. Being a stay at home mom has left me with an open schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet. In some cases I may need to bring my son but I do wear him during my time there and that will always be discussed prior to me caring for your pet. I’m able to crate your dog if needed and follow your instructions on how to handle your pets. I have experience with giving some oral medications to my dog and would be happy to do so if that’s needed for your pet.
“Gabby was excellent during our initial meet and greet and made me feel very comfortable having her in our home for subsequent visits. She asked follow on questions about several things I had not thought about and was very thorough. I’m looking forward to having her as our pet sitter!”

“Nova had a great time with Renee today. Renee was responsive, shared updates throughout the day, and made scheduling very easy. She was flexible and it truly felt like she treated Nova as her own. I will definitely use Renee and her husband again.”
About: As the proud owners to two wonderful little rescue dogs, a cat, some chickens, guinea fowl, goats and sheep, we know how hard it can be sometimes to find care for your pets and farm animals while you are away. We will provide the same level of care and kindness that I would want and expect for our own spoiled pets. Trust is an important part of pet care and petsitting, and we want you to be able to confidently, and without worry, leave your pampered pups and kitties in our care. We live on a small farm in rural Western Maryland, about 20 minutes west of Frederick. We have experience with all kinds of animal care, from horses, cows, goats, sheep, and poultry. We are currently able to provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, as well as house or farm sitting, and in home boarding, as well as hourly dog park style use of our large fenced yard. Your pets will be a happy addition to our family in our home! Our whole property is fenced by 4 ft or taller board and wire fencing, with smaller areas sectioned off in the front and back yards. The driveway is gated and secure. We want your pets to feel as safe as our own. Leah and Andrew are both available for petsitting services. We currently work only at home, tending our farm homestead, and have a flexible schedule. We are able to drop in one or two times a day, or less or more often, as needed. We treat every animal as if it were our own and provide a level of care that we would expect from our pet care provider.
“Tux has always been anxious when left behind, but did very well with Emily all day. She was very attentive to his needs and he got along well with her other daycare pup. She sent numerous pictures and answered my texts right away when I checked in on him. She asked permission to take him on a short ride in her car, which I granted since he loves car rides and hates being left behind. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy.”
About: My family and I absolutely love dogs we lost ours recently and I am not ready to get another one but would love to care for yours like he/she was our own. I have 3 very energetic kiddos that would love to play with and give lots of love and cuddles to your fur baby. I am a stay at home mom, we have no other animals of any kind so your fur baby will have all the attention when they stay with us. Please be understanding that no pets in the bed, its a very full bed already with 3 kids under 6.
“We knew the minute Heidi met us at the door for our Meet and Greet with Tux, our 13-year old Bichon-Poodle, that we had found the perfect sitter. Tux felt right at home wagging his tail at her kids and Moochie, her Golden Retriever. He sniffed around, as all dogs do, and made his way outside to explore in their fenced-in backyard. We had total peace of mind leaving Tux in her care. She updated us throughout the day with pictures of the kids snuggling and playing with him. We will look no where else when we need someone to care for Tux. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking to find the sweetest caregiver for your beloved pets.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I love animals, as they are the most loving and authentic little beings. I’ve always had dogs and have taken care of family/friends/neighbors’ dogs when needed. I offer boarding, walks, a fenced in yard and socialization with my children and my own pets. Your pup will be in good hands and loved! My household always has an adult home for walks or ability to go out in the yard at anytime. We pop in and out on sports practice days in the evenings and for games on the weekends. Never more than 2 hours at a time. I have a large fenced in yard, can crate your pup and can offer walks, the ability to sit or lay on furniture, socialization for my kids, and socialization for my dog and other pets
“Marne, Bailey, and her family welcomed Leah last minute. Even though we both prefer meet and greets, they opened their doors to Leah for a full 10-hr daycare. They alsl addressed all my questions before booking, and before and after daycare. Loved, loved, loved the full communication between us about Leah's day and took great care of all Leah's need in a very structured manner. Based on the report card, leah had a blast with them. As a first time customer to them, I'm beyond happy to call them my first official dog sitters in their area, especially since I move all the time around the District of Columbia and the surrounding states. Thank you so much! We'll see you again!”
“We were so lucky to have Ellen watch our dog, Ziva! She has separation anxiety, and we were nervous about leaving her with someone new in a new environment. Ellen was so reassuring from the start, promising to take good care of her. And she absolutely did. Her sweet dog, Cleopatra, was so friendly and helped Ziva feel comfortable right away. Our first impression was unforgettable- Ziva followed Ellen, which is rare for her with someone she doesn’t know. Ellen took extra care to comfort Ziva when she was anxious and sent us picture updates that really put our minds at ease. Because of Ellen, we were able to enjoy our event without constantly checking our phones. This was such a relief, especially since we’ve had a bad experience with a previous sitter who never sent updates. Ellen went above and beyond, and we could truly feel the difference in Ziva’s comfort. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ellen, for caring for Ziva like she was your own!”
“Dropped Boone off to spend the day prior to Lauren watching him while I’m out of town. Lauren took great care of Boone and was very attentive based on the feedback. Boone loved the backyard, playing with toys and With Zoe and Cola. The pics sent were great as well. Booking another day for Boone before his longer stay! Definitely recommend Lauren.”
“Alex and Christina were amazing with Bucky. We booked them last minute and they were so accommodating! They gave me regular updates the whole time he was with them - photos and videos. Bucky has separation anxiety so it was a huge relief to have him with people who know so much about dogs and could take such great care of him. The next time we’re having a night out in Frederick we will definitely book them again!!”
About: I cared for my beloved dog for 10 years, treating him like my first baby. Now, I'm eager to share that love and care with your furry friend, giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day and get to spend lots of time with the pets I care for. That means plenty of potty breaks, playtime, walks, and snuggles throughout the day. I love making pets feel comfortable and keeping their routine as normal as possible. My goal is for them to feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 💛 I promise to keep your pet safe and cherished by following your instructions carefully and creating a cozy, secure environment. I’ll send you regular updates, so you can rest easy knowing your furry friend is in caring and attentive hands. 💖
“Rene has been amazing for my dog, Bentley! She has been keeping Bentley during the day for doggy day care and he always comes home exhausted which makes me a happy mommy because it means he has had a busy day! I would definitely recommend rene!”
About: my goal is to provide the best pet, dog and cat sitting service. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding your cat or talking to your bird as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving details of caring for your cats, dogs, birds and even chickens! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one Asheville cat owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my cats as well as I do after a few short days.”
“Hihly recommend! Jennifer is a wonderful doggy daycare host. Our boys were excited to spend the day with her and her sweet dog "Sammy". Jennifer sent a few pics and a note to let me know how our dogs were doing.”
About: Hi, my name is Adrienne. My husband Nick and I live in a row home in downtown Frederick. I am an animal lover and will treat your pets like my own! I have been providing pet sitting services for friends and families for over 20 years. And for over 16 years, I raised dogs from puppy to adulthood. I volunteer at humane societies and have experience carrying for dogs with medical and special needs. No breed or size is off limits. I have a lot of experience with small dogs. I have used rover as a pet parent and strive to be the best sitter for you. I will provide daily updates via phone, text, or email depending on your preferences. I love sending photo updates of your pet doing fun things. We have a fenced yard for your pet to play in. I offer a complimentary meet and greet before your booking to become acquainted with you and your pets. This meet and greet is important to ensure I am the right fit for you and your pets. Im currently working part time so have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I am available throughout the day to check in and walk your pets and am available for boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet will have freedom throughout our row home and the fenced in yard. If they prefer their space, they will have a bedroom and floor all to themselves. If they like to make friends, we have one really friendly 7lb yorkshire terrier that would love to be their new friend. Our dog is crate trained and can be kept separated based on the client’s preference.

About: I manage a busy, diverse household of my own, which means I am highly experienced, unfazed by complex routines, and comfortable handling a wide variety of personalities. My personal pack includes: Two Large Dogs & A Cat: I am fully accustomed to the distinct needs, energy levels, and feeding structures of both large dogs and cats. A Flock of 43 Chickens: Managing a large flock has given me a deep understanding of animal husbandry, strict feeding schedules, flock safety, and overall bird wellness. Hermit Crabs: I even have experience with the precise humidity, environmental, and dietary care required for exotic pocket pets! Because I handle such a diverse group of animals daily, I am incredibly observant, highly organized, and detail-oriented. I will precisely follow your feeding instructions, medication schedules, and specific care routines down to the letter. My days are structured but highly adaptive, meaning I can easily step away to accommodate last-minute, short-notice, or same-day drop-in requests for local pet parents. All pet care will be in your own home, allowing you more freedom in your day! Trustworthy, reliable, punctual, mature. I will treat your home and pets just like my own!
“Lauren is great with Maizy! She shows up every scheduled day to walk her and took great care of her while I was at work. Maizy has grown comfortable around her and I wouldn’t be surprised if Maizy is consistently waiting by the door daily for her walk.”
About: I currently work as a caretaker at a dog daycare center, where I care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and play styles every day. Whether your dog is super energetic, anxious, older, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m more than comfortable adapting to their needs. I’ve also worked as a farmhand, helping feed and care for animals like chickens and other livestock. I’ve also been around animals my whole life and currently care for a cat, an elderly black lab, and a young hound puppy. I’m a college student hoping to earn extra cash doing something I genuinely love! I treat every animal like one of my best friends and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Weekdays: Available after 1:30 PM for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. Weekends: Usually fully available for walks, house sitting, overnight stays, and extended care. I’m a Dog Daycare worker during the weekdays, so my services may be limited to the afternoon + evenings from Monday-Friday. With dogs, I’m very patient and comfortable with all personalities, including high-energy, excitable, or anxious dogs. I focus on calm and respectful handling and try to help very anxious dogs feel safe by giving them space, approaching slowly, and using gentle reassurance like calm voice and light petting on their side when appropriate. I pay attention to body language and always aim to build trust rather than pressure them into an interaction. If a dog is acting out, I redirect their attention and follow any training or behavior instructions provided by the owner. With cats, I’m used to reading their behavior and giving them the space or attention they want. I understand that many cats are super independent and are protective about their space, but I also enjoy working with affectionate, social cats. I have experience caring for kittens, including feeding and basic hands-on care, as well as senior cats who may need routine medication or any extra attention.
“Ximena is an excellent dog walker! She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and my dog absolutely adores her. I always come home to a happy and tired pup, which is exactly what I'm looking for. Highly recommend!”

“Lauren was a pleasure to work with and having her help was greatly appreciated and our pups enjoyed her visiting ! She's very responsive and takes in feedback very well! I would recommend her to others.”
About: My whole life we had cats and dogs. I have house sat for neighbors and friends with pets since I was ten years old. I currently own a rabbit. I have also cared for all kinds of rodents, fish, and reptiles. I have trained puppies and kittens and a bunny. I also cared for my older dachshund and gave him shots and necessary medications. I work part time teaching yoga throughout the week and have lots of availability. I only have custody of my kids every other week making my week without them a great time for extra hours and house sitting. I keep pets from being hungry, thirsty, or bored. I keep pets nicely groomed and their areas and things nicely cleaned. I offer direct focus and affection. I can walk or run with dogs. I love doing yoga on the floor and watching cats or my rabbit climb all over me and get affection.
About: I've owned and watched dogs since I was 10 years old. From small puppies, elderly dogs, to dogs huge as a mastiff and small as a chihuahua. Whether they be my own, friends, or families I held dear, being around and caring for dogs have always been a huge part of my life! I've fed them, bathed them, given them medicine, and have always been relable. Currently, I am mostly self-employed & studying for a Real Estate license. I do work mornings at a horse barn, and have a contract gig working occasional weekends with a D&D-styled Bed & Breakfast. Thankfully those shifts are scheduled months in advance and, for barn work, typically wrap up around 11-Noon. :) I'm always willing to give dogs the ample affections and pets they need! I'm super attentive to when they need to go outside/take a walk, have their food right on schedule, have some playtime, or whenever they just geniunely need attention and love. I honestly do it everyday for my own dogs. So I'll have no trouble giving them the same needs I give my precious wee babies.
“Jessica has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She is loving, attentive, and truly treats them like her own. I always feel comfortable knowing they are in such caring hands. She communicates very well, keeps me updated, and is incredibly flexible whenever I have schedule changes. My dogs adore her, and I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and want to spoil yours! I have owned cats and dogs both and take care of many of my neighbors pets all the time! I am the person who is always getting distracted and running late because I ran into a dog that needed to be pet! I am not currently working so I am free to walk and take care of your pets full time! I can easily adjust my schedule to stay overnight if needed and just visit if not! I have lots of experience walking dogs safely (my last dog was a beagle, so I know how the nose can lead a dog!) I am happy to crate your dog and keep them safe at your home and in your yard and neighborhood!
“Adrienne is thoughtful and caring and very very good at communicating. This is my 3rd time leaving my dog (a somewhat demanding pug) in her care. It will certainly not be our last.”
“Dominika took great care of Stella. I would have her walk and care for my dog again. She was attentive, shared lots of pictures, and even went out of her way to text my mom to schedule based on her availability.”
About: Hi, I’m Eileen. I provide gentle, attentive care for small dogs, with a focus on safety, routine, and a calm home environment. My availability is primarily weekends, holidays, and selected weekday evenings, which allows me to give each dog steady, unhurried attention. I tailor care to each pup’s personality, whether that means relaxed walks, light play, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their routine familiar and reassuring. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep bowls and rest areas clean, and send thoughtful updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease. Because I have resident cats, I’m best suited for cat-savvy small dogs. I approach introductions slowly, supervise carefully, and can keep spaces separate when needed. My style is warm, detail-oriented, and intentionally limited in volume, so each dog receives the same thoughtful care I would want for my own pets. 🕰️ Schedule I work a full-time 9–5 role during weekdays, and I thoughtfully plan my pet care visits around that schedule to ensure each visit is calm, unhurried, and consistent. On weekdays, I offer evening drop-in visits, which tend to be a natural and comforting time for most cats, which is quiet, predictable, and aligned with their evening routines. On weekends and holidays, I’m available between 10am–5pm, with more flexibility to match your cat’s preferred schedule. At home, I care for my own five cats every day, so multi-cat routines, different personalities, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment are already part of my daily life. When I visit your home, I bring that same level of attentiveness—never rushed, always respectful of your cat’s pace and space. I also keep my bookings intentionally limited so each cat receives steady, thoughtful care. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, or medication, I make sure every visit feels consistent and reassuring for both you and your cat. My primary service is caring for cats in their own home, where many feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to doors, windows, lights, and entry routines. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat and home in someone else’s care, so I treat both with great respect and attention. Each visit is tailored to your cat’s personality and your preferences. Some cats want play and affection, while others prefer quiet company and space. I pay close attention to food, water, litter box habits, and any small changes in behavior. After every visit, I send thoughtful updates with photos, videos, and a clear report, so you can feel informed and at ease while you’re away. If I ever care for a cat in my home, I would focus on slow introductions, separated food, close monitoring, and a calm, clean environment. My five resident cats are all up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and I always respect each cat’s pace and comfort level.

About: I grew up on a farm in Purcellville and had over 6+ dogs, 4 cats and many farm animals. I love animals and I have a family dog of my own named Ziggy Marley. Pet care is something I feel very passionate about and something I’m fortunate to be able to experience! My schedule is always very flexible because I’m an online student studying Environmental Biology and sustainability! I do not have a fenced in yard but I live next to a large open field! I have a friendly trained animal willing to play with your animals! I also have a crate and many treats! Please let me know if your animal has a special diet or any allergies.
About: I cared for my beloved dog for 10 years, treating him like my first baby. Now, I'm eager to share that love and care with your furry friend, giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day and get to spend lots of time with the pets I care for. That means plenty of potty breaks, playtime, walks, and snuggles throughout the day. I love making pets feel comfortable and keeping their routine as normal as possible. My goal is for them to feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 💛 I promise to keep your pet safe and cherished by following your instructions carefully and creating a cozy, secure environment. I’ll send you regular updates, so you can rest easy knowing your furry friend is in caring and attentive hands. 💖

“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“Leo loved his time with Emily! He loved exploring her property and obviously felt comfortable with her based on his behavior when dropping him off and picking him up 🙂”
“Ellen was just wonderful and I know my dog was in good hands while we were gone. She got to run and play and hike on the farm and Ellen sent pictures and videos. Will absolutely use Ellen again to watch our Bella girl!”
“Terri was the epitome of perfect. She was just what my pet Blossom needed. Attention, affection, love, she filled all of those things, and then some. She took many pictures kept us up-to-date, and eased my anxiety!!! I would use her again and again and again, top-notch for sure!!!”
“Janelle & Joel are absolutely fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, and I am so glad I chose them. They sent pics of my pup having the time of his life! Nothing better than having the peace of mind when leaving your fur baby for a weekend! Thanks you two! Will gladly be a returning client!”
“I really appreciated the pictures and videos throughout my dog’s stay. I felt completely at ease leaving him in such capable hands where I knew he got lots of attention, fun, and care!”
“Zeke had a great time at Samantha’s. She gave us constant updates. She took special care of Zeke as he has some hip issues. I glad I found her and would definitely use her services in the future.”
“The whole family was amazing towards sascha and so caring and gentle with her. She was beyond scared and they took their time and made her feel welcome even when she was anxious and so forth. I cant recommend them enough, they are the family you want watching your dog.”
“Barbara took amazing care of my anxious dog. She provided daily updates of how my dog was adjusting. Thankfully, my dog adjusted quickly and had a wonderful time playing with Dobby and the daycare dogs. I was only a little worried my dog wouldn't want to go home because Barbara took such great care of her.”
“Nat and Ally took great care of my dog and I can tell he had a great time and was a part of the family for the few days he was there. I got plenty of photos of my dog hanging with their dog and children and he always looked relaxed and happy. Great communication!”
“Annette is truly an amazing dog host. She knows animal behavior so well. Her own pets are wonderful and our dog loved visiting as a guest. She is an expert with regard to introducing pets to one another. I wish he could go on a mini-vacation once a week!”
“My Golden had a wonderful 2 week stay with Karen. She sent videos and pictures everyday. Her whole family is so sweet and she has a beautiful property! Will definitely use her in the future.”
“Anna took such great care of our German shepherd, was communicative and understanding when we had an unexpected travel change. She was more than accommodating and went above and beyond to help given our travel issue. Anna’s house is great for any dog, her dogs are very sweet and her family is awesome. I cannot recommend enough and we will book with her again 1000%”
“Ashley and Ryan were amazing! They are truly dog people and your dogs will have the best experience at their home. Our dogs loved running around their huge backyard with their sweet pups. If they weren’t running around outside they were lounging on the couch or one of the many dog beds available. They sent many pictures throughout our dogs stay. We felt very at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. Thank you Ashley and Ryan! I know our dogs can’t wait to come back!”
“They truly made Sakura a part of their family while she was there with them. Sent me pictures of Sakura giving them hugs and kisses (a Golden Retriever will do that) and were very flexible with timing of drop-off and pick-up. The next time I go out of town, I will have a very hard decision to make because both people who took care of Sakura recently were both wonderful. Marne and John (and their son) were wonderful hosts and you should always feel comfortable with your pups staying there.”
“Elisa and her family were fantastic! They took great care of our Yorkie and sent us updates with pictures every day, which really put our minds at ease. I could tell that she was loved and pampered. We will definitely be booking them again. Thanks again.”
“Fantastic dog sitter! They agreed to help out last minute, which was such a lifesaver, and communication was excellent from start to finish. I always felt updated and reassured throughout the stay, and it was clear my dog was in great hands. Reliable, responsive, and caring. I would absolutely book with them again!”
“Outstanding caregiver, by far the best I have seen so far. This was first time we had to leave our puppy to a stranger for multiple days. I was nervous. However, she and her family took good care of LEO, took him out occasionally, sent me photos on regular basis, and kept me updated. I am really happy to find them here and would recommend her to everyone.”
