“I highly recommend Angie and her dog-loving family! Our dog has never come home from a week at "camp" happier (or more exhausted). They treated Flynn like one of the family from the moment he arrived. He absolutely loved playing with the kids and the other dogs, and he was very intrigued by the chickens. Flynn got plenty of exercise in their spacious yard, played lots and lots of ball, got plenty of pats and love, and even slept on the bed with the kids. Angie sent plenty of pictures and updates reassuring us that our anxious pup was settling in well. We will be return customers for sure!”
“So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.”
“Bria was great! Extremely responsive when I booked. Very knowledgeable about caring for my daughter’s Yorkie! I didn’t have to provide much instructions, she just knew what our fur baby needed! She loved on our dog the entire time he was with her!! 5 out of 5! Highly recommend!”
“My shepherd husky mix Riker had such a great time and was well taken care of. He was so happy (and tired) after his boarding. Would use their services again!!”
“Rebeka took wonderful care of Izzy once again! We really appreciate the thoughtful updates, questions, and photos throughout her stay; they gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Izzy had an absolute blast playing with Rebeka, her family, and another pup. Izzy came home happy, well cared for, and tired from all the fun. We highly recommend Rebeka and will definitely book with her again!”
“Moana had a great stay! She’s pretty shy and anxious so I appreciated the patience they had with her while she got more comfortable. She looked calm and happy as can be in all the photo and video updates. Would definitely book again!”
“We were so fortunate to have Sharon watch over our dog, Beanie for a third time! Beanie stayed with Sharon for over a week while we traveled overseas. Sharon provided us with a peace of mind with how loving she has always been towards her, following her care instructions and also with how communicative she was whenever we reached out. It is evident that Sharon has had a lot of experience with dogs and she will take care of your baby as she does her own, four dogs! Sharon, thank you for watching over our baby. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing she was with you!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“Maria and Fernando were very sweet and communicative! My dog can be a little rough given her size so I get a little nervous when I ask others to watch her, but Maria and Fernando were patient and understanding with her. I also appreciate the daily updates and photos they sent over 😊”
“Jessica was an absolute gem when it came to caring for my dog over the weekend. From the very beginning, she made both me and my pup feel completely at ease. We had the chance to meet her beforehand, and her warmth and attentiveness immediately reassured me that my dog would be in great hands. What truly set Jessica apart were the frequent updates and numerous pictures she sent throughout the weekend. It felt like I was right there with my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind. In fact, after meeting her, I was so confident in her care that I canceled my original booking—even at the cost of a cancellation fee—and I have absolutely no regrets! Jessica is an exceptional dog mom, and I’ll continue booking with her whenever I need a sitter. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, look no further! Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitters! Great communication with us. They sent me photos of Theo during the week I was away and Theo returned home happy! They treated him like family! Thank you Bob and Pam!”
“This is the second time we’ve booked a dog boarding with her - and we are very happy with it! Goose is taken care of and in a happy state when we pick her up. Its worrisome leaving my fur baby with anyone, and the consistent updates on my girl always help”
“Marlin was just so great ! Initially I was so worried as this is our first time staying apart .Marlin updated me every now and then, I would highly recommend her to anyone and I would be definitely be using her again .”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Bella received! She was watched for three days and came back happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. I got regular updates, photos, and could tell she was in great hands the entire time. It’s such a relief to know I have someone I can trust with Bella. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Natalia is awesome.. she send me updates throughout the day with pictures. I think my poodle enjoyed his time with Natalia more than me during my vacation. I will definitely use her services again.”
“It’s Nigel’s third stay with Masha & family. Knowing Nigel is under their care gives me total peace of mind. Masha & fam is definitely my first choice for Nigel’s home away from home.”
“Mrs. Nettie was awesome! Why was she so awesome?! During our meet and greet Mrs. Nettie was so thorough and very knowledgeable about dogs. I learned a lot of valuable training tips in the first 5 minutes! She explained in detail, how she cared for the dogs in her care and the interaction between her fur babies. I got continuous updates about my pup Kali and she looked soo happy ? and I loved that for her and myself because I was able to enjoy my trip!”
“Jorge was an excellent sitter for Riley! He was attentive and asked really great questions to make sure her stay was as smooth as possible. He was responsive and sent photos with daily updates. I will certainly book with him in the future, he’s a genuine dog lover!”

“Tyasia V. was a most wonderful caretaker of my cat Agape while I was away 4 and 1/2 days. She clearly loves animals and was very attentive and loving to my cat of 18 years with kidney disease. She was especially wonderful because she came about 5 times to not only meet Agape but learn how to give her infusions, injections of fluids she needs for her kidney disease, which she gave Agape in my absence along with other medications. She was so gentle with Agape as well as playful. She was honest, communicated regularly with me about Agape...sent photos. And left my apartment spotless. I will use her again when I have to go away for a short while. Thank you, Tyasia”
“I loved how wonderful you are in taking care of Finn. You took professional pictures and made Finn look like a model. I'm so glad he behaved with you. I would love to have you back if I need you again in the future.”
“Elizabeth took such good care of our two kitties while we were away, including administering medication. She came twice a day and sent us great updates and photos. Very dependable and trustworthy, highly recommend her services.”
“Denise is magical. We have a cat who is very reactive to strangers and dislikes changes in routine. We weren’t sure we’d be able to go on a family vacation and leave her at home in someone else’s care. But our difficult cat warmed up to Denise immediately, and they did fine the entire time we were gone. We loved the daily photos, assuring us that all was well. Would hire Denise again in an instant.”

“Erin was great with our three cats. They don’t always show themselves to visitors, but were out and about to see Erin in all their visits. They were all in great shape and happy to see us on our return. That is not always the case with them.”
“Rylinn is enthusiastic, knowledgable, and a clear communicator. I appreciate her prompt arrival and positive attitude during our initial meet-up on very short notice. Thanks! Looking forward to booking you again in the future :)”
“I can’t say enough good things. Lauren was so sweet and loving to our boys. She went out of her way to make sure they were taken care of, even by researching how to reset the complicated automatic feeders we have (which the cats unplugged!). Thank you!”
“Julia is the best! Thanks so much for taking care of our cat while we had our wedding. Even extended it to the night before last minute and she was able to start the visit early.”

“I left my puppy Law for Day Care with Erika and Franklin. They took great care of law from sun up til sun down. They were able follow instructions to a T, responded quickly, asked questions and provided photos throughout the day as requested. Definitely would recommend!”
“Rebeka did a wonderful job with Lomi! Pick up & drop off was smooth & my dog had such a fun time. I got updated throughout her stay so I was up to date on what she was up to. Lomi was well taken care of & I would definitely book with her again!! 🥰”

“We all know how anxious we can be about leaving our furry friends for daycare. Fear not! Cal & Kelly are absolutely fabulous. Yes, this is the kind of place where tour pup may not want to leave. 11 stars!! (spinal tap)”
“Maria & Fernando were able to accommodate a daycare need for my dog on short notice. Hazel can be nervous in situations with new people and she demonstrated this at our meet and greet. They recognized her barking for what it was (nervousness, not aggression) and spent the time necessary working with her to overcome her anxiety. During her stay with them I received multiple text updates including pictures. My favorite was her sitting in Fernando’s lap-obviously she was comfortable there and enjoying herself. I will definitely use their services again in the future.”
About: What Sets Me Apart I offer more than just a standard check-in or walk—I bring a lifetime of genuine animal love combined with specialized, hands-on experience to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and completely understood. Here is what makes my care unique: Senior & Special Needs Expertise: I have a deep understanding of senior pet care. Whether it’s managing medication schedules, recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, or just providing the extra patience and gentle pacing that older pets deserve, your senior companions are in incredibly safe hands. Puppy Training & Energy Management: Navigating the puppy phase requires consistent structure. I love working with young dogs to reinforce basic training, maintain potty routines, and channel all that amazing puppy energy into positive, healthy habits. Multi-Pet & Diverse Species Experience: My home is a sanctuary for all kinds of animals. From handling high-energy dogs and independent cats to caring for unique exotic pets like geckos, I understand the distinct body language and routine requirements of a truly diverse range of species. When your pets are with me, they aren't just being watched—they are being treated with the same deep respect, attentiveness, and family-level care that I give to my own. Pet care isn't just a side task for me—it’s seamlessly woven into the fabric of my daily and weekly structure. Because my routine centers around a flexible, home-based schedule, I am able to provide the consistent, attentive, and highly reliable care that pets thrive on. Here is how I integrate dedicated pet care into my routine: A Natural Part of My Day: Managing a busy, active household means I am already completely dialed into strict daily routines. Feeding schedules, fresh water refills, and multiple potty breaks are second nature to me and easily sync with your pet's specific internal clock. Built-in Movement and Fresh Air: I value keeping active and getting outside. Daily walks and high-energy playtime aren't chores—they are highlights of my schedule that allow me to give your dog the exercise, mental stimulation, and neighborhood exploration they need. Meticulous Environmental Care: Just as I maintain high standards for my own surroundings, keeping a spotless pet environment is part of my regular weekly rhythm. Daily litter box scooping, deep-cleaning food bowls, and organizing pet areas are deeply embedded in my normal cleaning habits. Evenings and Weekends for Quality Time: When the daytime rush winds down, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to winding down, too. This is when I love providing the quiet companionship, gentle grooming, and couch cuddles that keep pets feeling safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. Because my life is set up to balance multiple priorities smoothly, your pet receives structured, dependable care without me ever having to rush their routine. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) When pets stay with me, they aren't kept in isolation—they become part of a structured, lively, and highly attentive household. Seamless Integration: I run my daily business from home, which means your pet enjoys constant human presence and supervision. They are integrated right into our daily rhythm of work, play, and relaxation. A Sanctuary for All Personalities: My home is designed to accommodate different comfort levels. If your dog loves a pack environment, they will have plenty of company. If they prefer a quiet corner to decompress, I have dedicated, cozy spaces where they can rest undisturbed. A Safe, Social Environment: With experienced resident pets of my own, I am highly skilled at managing animal dynamics. Introductions are always handled slowly and safely, ensuring everyone feels secure and respected in the space. Care in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) If your pet prefers the comfort of their own walls, my priority is maintaining absolute consistency, security, and cleanliness while you are away. Flawless Routine Replication: I follow your specific instructions to the letter. Whether it’s feeding at an exact timestamp, following a precise walking route, or administering medication, I ensure your pet's internal clock and habits aren't disrupted. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost respect. In addition to keeping your pets happy, I ensure their environment stays pristine—handling meticulous litter box maintenance, keeping feeding areas spotless, and making sure everything looks exactly how you left it. Security and Peace of Mind: You will receive regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. I also keep a vigilant eye on the security of your home, ensuring doors are locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the property is secure.

Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I’m home for most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care so their feeding, walks, rest, and play follow familiar routines. This allows me to be fully present, responsive, and attentive throughout the day and evening. I provide a calm, safe, and structured home environment where dogs are closely supervised at all times.

“They are awesome! My pup feels so at home with them. She is excited when she arrives and still excited when she leaves. She's with other pups when she is there and it has done wonders for her socialization, as well as helping her sleep through the night. Jody and Rodney are the best. I feel happy knowing my puppy is happy, safe and in a loving environment while my husband and I are at work.”

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with over 25 years of caregiving experience. I have had dogs almost continuously since kindergarten ranging in size from a 5 lb poodle mix (Trooper) to a 95 lb yellow lab (Nala), in addition to 3 years as a parent to 2 cats, Jules and Gemini. Jules was with us only briefly due to her advanced age when she was adopted, while Gemini is a much younger kitten who wasted no time claiming my home as her own. I also recently lost my 10 year old corgi (Sadie) unexpectedly to an extremely aggressive form of cancer, and so would love the opportunity to spend some therapeutic time with your furry kid. Prior to beginning work through Rover, I have several years of experience caring for cats and dogs for a variety of friends, family, and neighbors including everything from drop-in visits and dog walking to full-time house/petsitting. Outside of my petsitting duties, I am a PhD chemist working hard to make the battery in your phone last longer and your electric car drive further. My wife and I moved to the Silver Spring area in 2024 for her job as a television producer and I am in the process of establishing myself in the DMV research community. Availability: Except in special cases, I am available for booking at any time of day, any day of the week. I am happy to provide everything from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays. I am currently working part-time from home, so I am excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets at any time! This can include drop-in visits to your home, overnight stays with your fur baby, and day-care or boarding at my home (as long as they're friendly with my cat Gemini). I am glad to visit your home as frequently as you prefer. All visits will include checks for water quantity and freshness, any prescribed food refills or walks, and of course play time. I'm also happy to provide overnight care for your pets and home if preferred, please send me a message if you are interested in more long-term visits. I'm also very happy to host your pets in my own home! I have plenty of room for cats and dogs up to 50-70 lbs. Both my wife and I have had pets our entire lives and between the two of us, someone is nearly always home to supervise and provide any needed care. Since I live in an apartment complex, I do not have a private yard but do have plenty of communal space for walks and other outdoor activity.
“Linda has been walking our 1 year old puppy for a few months now and we couldn't be happier so far. After having a really bad experience with a walker on this app, we were nervous to let someone back in. She is personable, kind, and easygoing. Very responsive and agreeable even when I mess up my own schedule. We were worried our puppy would be too much but she has big dogs and does a good job of handling his energy positively.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Vatia as our dog walker/sitter! She asked thoughtful questions up front, made sure she understood everything Moji needed, and followed every instruction perfectly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my Mojo was in such attentive and reliable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley walked our dog twice while we went on an overnight trip. She gave our dog medications at mealtime and sent a summary and pictures after each walk. It’s clear she loves animals and would be a great choice to take care of yours.”

About: I've taken care of dogs/lived with them from a young age. I feel comfortable around a variety of dogs and I enjoy those with high energy, lap gos, and everything in between! I have experience dog sitting for my aunt's 10 year old pitbull Blu, over the years. I'm comfortable with drop in visits, walks, park, etc. Whatever your dog needs, I'm your girl! I have pretty open availability to assist with any of your pet care needs due to working a mostly remote job and being able to travel. I will not be hosting animals at my house due to having my own senior cat who prefers her own space (LOL); however, I am comfortable sitting at your house/dog walking. I will treat your pet and house with the utmost respect!

About: I have always grown up with dogs and cats. Animal fur was always a “fashion choice” of mine. Right now, I have a 125 lbs pitbull mix named charlie, he has big paws and an even bigger heart. I also have a stubby, long nosed coonhound named Billie, she is jumpy, rowdy, and loves to cuddle. I have lots of experience with big dogs, I grew up with a Rottweiler and a German Shepherd mix. I love my animals so much, and I know firsthand how having a pet sitter/walker can be nerve-racking. I want to provide you with that trust and much needed knowledge that your dogs are being taken care of. Although I do not have as much professional experience as I would want to, I can provide that same love and care and personal experience that you may not be able to get from someone who doesn’t have big dogs like I do. I am young, strong, and able to respond to any messages sent my way. I’m also always taking pictures to send to any of my clients. Keeping you up-to-date is so important as it assures you that things are going smoothly and that your pet is having a fun, restful, relaxing time. Because your pet deserves a vacation too, of course. Hello! My name is Madeline (pronounced like caroline) I am currently a high school senior, who is going to my freshman year at college in late August. I am looking forward to going to college for acting and getting my bachelors of fine arts in the drama department at Carnegie Mellon University. My weekends are pretty open. Besides the small vacations throughout the summer. I am pretty available most weeks. I am in front of house manager at the Olney theater center. I am usually working nighttime (5-11) shows, so I am available during the day. I have had the amazing opportunity of working with dogs in the last show I was in. I did “legally blonde the musical”. We had two amazing actor pups in the show and that was such a great experience for me. I have grown up with animals my entire life. I have two dogs right now and in previous years I had up to four cats all at once. I have such a huge passion for taking care of animals and being around them. I am very interested in volunteering at animal shelters and will continue to in the future. My favorite type of exercise is to just walk outside. If you have a pup who needs frequent walks I am your person! Walking is my favorite. I have so many favorite places to go on walks. I will usually listen to podcasts, music, or study any of my lines for a show that I’m in. I am incredibly tech savvy and will respond to any message or call within a minute or two. I think it’s incredibly important to keep you updated and “in the know” with what is going on while I’m taking care of your beloved pets. At my home I love to take long walks with my two dogs. I am fairly comfortable walking larger dogs, or dogs who like to be on the move. Based off of what you would like me to do, I will follow your instructions to the T.
“Elizabeth really helped us out when we were in a bind and needed a ton of extra walks one week due to travel. She was communicative, polite, and our pup loved her!”
“Erin was very professional and courteous when handling our dog, who is currently poorly socialized and overly eager to meet people. Also was amenable and accomodating to changing the kind of services that I needed midday”

“I highly recommend Angie and her dog-loving family! Our dog has never come home from a week at "camp" happier (or more exhausted). They treated Flynn like one of the family from the moment he arrived. He absolutely loved playing with the kids and the other dogs, and he was very intrigued by the chickens. Flynn got plenty of exercise in their spacious yard, played lots and lots of ball, got plenty of pats and love, and even slept on the bed with the kids. Angie sent plenty of pictures and updates reassuring us that our anxious pup was settling in well. We will be return customers for sure!”
“Bria was great! Extremely responsive when I booked. Very knowledgeable about caring for my daughter’s Yorkie! I didn’t have to provide much instructions, she just knew what our fur baby needed! She loved on our dog the entire time he was with her!! 5 out of 5! Highly recommend!”
“My shepherd husky mix Riker had such a great time and was well taken care of. He was so happy (and tired) after his boarding. Would use their services again!!”
“Moana had a great stay! She’s pretty shy and anxious so I appreciated the patience they had with her while she got more comfortable. She looked calm and happy as can be in all the photo and video updates. Would definitely book again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“Maria and Fernando were very sweet and communicative! My dog can be a little rough given her size so I get a little nervous when I ask others to watch her, but Maria and Fernando were patient and understanding with her. I also appreciate the daily updates and photos they sent over 😊”
“Absolutely wonderful sitters! Great communication with us. They sent me photos of Theo during the week I was away and Theo returned home happy! They treated him like family! Thank you Bob and Pam!”
“This is the second time we’ve booked a dog boarding with her - and we are very happy with it! Goose is taken care of and in a happy state when we pick her up. Its worrisome leaving my fur baby with anyone, and the consistent updates on my girl always help”
“It’s Nigel’s third stay with Masha & family. Knowing Nigel is under their care gives me total peace of mind. Masha & fam is definitely my first choice for Nigel’s home away from home.”
“Mrs. Nettie was awesome! Why was she so awesome?! During our meet and greet Mrs. Nettie was so thorough and very knowledgeable about dogs. I learned a lot of valuable training tips in the first 5 minutes! She explained in detail, how she cared for the dogs in her care and the interaction between her fur babies. I got continuous updates about my pup Kali and she looked soo happy ? and I loved that for her and myself because I was able to enjoy my trip!”
“Jorge was an excellent sitter for Riley! He was attentive and asked really great questions to make sure her stay was as smooth as possible. He was responsive and sent photos with daily updates. I will certainly book with him in the future, he’s a genuine dog lover!”
“Bryn took such wonderful care of Leo over the weekend—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Leo had an amazing time with her and absolutely loved spending time with her dog, Kepler. It was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. In fact, Leo enjoyed his stay so much that he didn’t even want to come back home! That says everything about how great Bryn is. If there were more than 5 stars, we would gladly give them to her. We will 100% be booking with Bryn again in the future. She is truly the best on the entire Rover website!”
“Jacquline was very efficient with feedback and she sent pictures of bailey enjoying her time with Jacquline family. Jacquline is kind and loves animals. She and her daughter was the perfect match for bailey while I was on vacation. I would definitely work with Jacquline again.🥰🥰”
“My dogs love going to Victor’s house! I can see the happiness on their faces in the pics that he sends. Victor is highly professional and responsive. We don’t have to think twice about their safety or comfort.”
“Absolutely outstanding! They are great communicators, and send several photo updates. When I returned, I found my dog in a great mood. I could tell she was well cared for. I would recommend to anyone who is hesitant about boarding their dog(s). I will definitely be booking their next stay with Josh and Andres!”
“Kelly is great. Colby loves her even on our meet and greet. She constantly sent me pictures to show me how Colby is doing and how much fun he is having. I am sure he is missing her and her nice yard right now (plus all the squirrels he can chase or bark at) 😆.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Calvin and Vanessa! They took amazing care of our Shiba for over two weeks, and she got along so well with their two friendly dogs. We really appreciated their quick responses and frequent photo updates — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Before the longer stay, we did a one-night trial, which went well and made us feel confident about leaving our Shiba in their care. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
