“Mickey took amazing care of my 2 fur babies, Juno and Willow. He messaged me every single day and updated me. He even sent pictures and videos of them playing! I highly recommend Mickey as a dog sitter to anyone and will surely spread the word. When I picked my babies up they were happy and healthy and even better behaved! Thank you so much! I will surely contact you again for our next family vacation!”
“Megan was amazing with my two dogs. I had never used a dog sitter before and was a little hesitant but the communication and pics minimized my fear. I will be using her and her family again. Thanks, Megan!”
“Thoroughly enjoyed having them as my puppy's pet sitters. They were great, very communicative, lots of pictures, lots of texts. Would use them anytime again. Can recommend anytime.”
“The relationship started with a meet and greet and Yiqiuxi and Nick asked all of the right questions to ensure that it was a good fit. They were interested in his routines and most importantly the do's and don'ts so Gucci didn't pick up any bad habits. Next the drop off. They have a huge area for Gucci to get plenty of exercise and he showed an immediate sign that he was comfortable which sealed the deal. We could not be happier with how well our Gucci was taken care of (6 nights) I was truly impressed with the consistency in daily updates which included photos, cuddle time and summary of his day. We appreciate their flexibility when I needed to add an extra day due to travel delays. I highly recommend Yiqiuxi and Nick and I am getting ready to book a new date right away. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“BLUF: My dog came home happy and exhausted. I'd use Cameron again in a heartbeat! Drake (75-lb lab) had the time of his life over an extended weekend with Cameron. Cameron came to our rescue when our existing weekend plans fell through. Her dog Cherry, a Sheepadoodle, is his new BFF. Cameron had another dog staying with her as well, and the 3 of them made a very active pack. Based on his step count, he didn't stop running around the entire time! Cameron has a fenced back yard on a quiet street. Dogs are allowed on the furniture (my dog prefers to sleep on the couch, so this was important). Cherry is a wonderful host as well, and an absolute doll.”
“Thank you, Marcela, for taking such good care of Cooper this weekend. We really appreciate your flexibility, kindness, and compassion. We look forward to seeing you again soon and know that Cooper does too!”
“I had a last min emergency and Rebecca was great for helping me. She sent me a picture everyday that she had my baby. Everything seems to have gone fine. I appreciate her willingness to work with me last min and to help.”
“Lilian was great, super friendly and professional. So attentive on sending photos and updates. She was so good with our Kuma and Bu. They felt at home with her while we we’re away. I would recommend her to all. Thank you and looking forward to a great relationship.”
“I can tell Breeze had a blast with his daily walks and play time. Would definitely recommend Beauty. She is flexible, very responsive, and made my weekend get away convenient.”
“Seyla was extremely communicative during our puppy’s long stay with him. Every day we received multiple videos and photos, including her daily meals. He let us know how she was adjusting behaviorally and there were numerous activities for our extremely energetic puppy to get into. Her behavior has actually improved since she’s come home. Even our kids think so. Very grateful to Seyla and we will make sure she stays with him going forward! Highly recommend!!”
“Schuyler was flexible and helped navigate a change of plans. She and her husband came over twice a day and spent time with our pups, played with them, and gave them much needed attention while I was away.”
“What an amazing experience! The communication and coordination for drop off/during boarding/pick up was all incredible. They were super flexible in my schedule and very responsive. They even made sure to keep me updated on Lucy during her stay with pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my baby girl and would rebook all over again! She came back a happy pup 🥰”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“Robyn came through when I needed it! Very personable, professional and accommodating! Looking forward to establishing a long lived boarding a relationship for the very near future! ;-)”
“This was the first time we have had our dog Keetna stay with Sarah. He seemed so happy while he was there and was having such fun! There is no doubt that he was well taken care of. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Connie is the absolute best! She is so easy to work with. Our Golden Retriever loves staying with her. Connie send pictures everyday of our pup playing in her backyard with her other dogs! 100% recommend booking with Connie!!”
“We have been using Jim as our dog-sitter for over 3 years and feel very fortunate to have found him when we first started using Rover. He is always quick to respond to sit requests and is great about sending pictures of Bodhi on their walks. We highly recommend Jim!”
“As tempting as it is to gatekeep Miss Kimberly..CAN’T DO IT SHE IS AMAZING! After my Rover sitter canceled on me last minute, I was scrambling to find a good quality sitter for Roman. Immediately I was welcomed with open arms by Miss Kimberly. She really made it feel like a family member was taking care of my dog. She is very attentive, kept me updated daily multiple times a day, and was very thorough with explaining to me every detail of what his experience will be while he stayed with her & safety precautions she takes. They have a beautiful yard and plenty of space in their home for my house hippo. Roman immediately bonded with her husband too, who was also very welcoming and kind. She has bumped up to my #1 Rover sitter ⭐️”
“Kevin was an excellent dog sitter for our golden retriever! He sent several pictures daily and was very accommodating with our pick up time/drop off. Will definitely use Kevin&family again!”

“Nicole was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly loving, mindful, and attentive while caring for our cat. Knowing our cat was in such caring hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Nicole was also very flexible and easy to work with, which we truly appreciated. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”
About: Although I do not have cats of my own, I am happy to care for yours! I’ve worked as a cat volunteer at the humane society and pet sit for cats in the past. I have not administered medication to cats, but am happy to learn!
“That is a great addition—it shows she really understands different cat personalities, from the "spicy" ones who hate grooming to the shy ones. Here is the updated review with those details included: ### Review for Liz **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Liz provided incredible care for my three cats while I was away. It is always a bit stressful leaving a multi-cat household, but Liz handled everything with total professionalism and genuine care. She stayed on top of their specific needs, including: * **Medication & Maintenance:** She reliably administered medicine and kept the litter boxes spotless. Food and water were always fresh and topped off. * **Frank:** I loved the updates about her playing with him; she made sure he got plenty of exercise with his favorite laser toy! * **Rudy:** She even managed to give Rudy a good brushing—something he usually hates when I do it! She clearly has a magic touch. * **Ryan:** For my hider, Ryan, Liz took the time to find her every day just to lay eyes on her and make sure she was safe and doing okay. It’s clear Liz truly loves animals and respects their individual boundaries. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy home. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, patient sitter!”
“Kady went above and beyond to take excellent care of my cats. She was meticulous, thorough, very caring, and definitely paid attention to the instructions. I know my cats were provided affection and attention and she sent multiple photos and detailed messages about her visits. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her. Such a sweet young lady who obviously loves animals.”
“Caitlyn did a wonderful job! She came before my trip to need Ophelia and learn what needed to be done and how to care for her. She showed up each evening on time and sent pictures , brought in package for me and let me know if anything was out of the norm! I highly recommend and will have her in the future!”
About: i’ve taken care of cats for YEARS! friends of family have left their cats in my care to babysit when i was in high school. i’ve had my own cats for years and make sure they’re well fed and well take care of. i make sure they have plenty of food and water and treats when they’re good!
“We just recently moved from Florida to Maryland with no family or friends around and it’s so important to find someone you can trust to care for your animals. I can say confidentially that we have found that person in Megan! I cannot recommend her enough! She has watched our dogs overnight and has even done drop in visits for our cats. We are so appreciative of her help!!”
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dog breeds my whole life. I’ve also owned cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have 2+ years of experience with taking care of bearded dragons and I’ve had a couple visits with snakes, specifically corn snakes. I work with any and all dogs/cats. I also like to send pics/videos of the pets to their owners daily for that reassurance that their fur baby is taken care of with the upmost care! I’m currently a full-time college student. I’m available any day and any time of the week. I’m usually available last minute as well and around holidays if needed. I currently have 4 dogs; 3 Yorkies and 1 Boarder Collie mix. They’re set on a twice per day feeding and their internal clock is set to those times. If I were to be in a clients home, I would do my best to ensure the animal stays in their routine and their feeding/medication is on schedule. They’d get plenty of play times and unlimited cuddles!
“Morgan was FANTASTIC! I had never left my cat with anyone except my best friend and was extremely nervous about traveling for the holidays after she moved away. Morgan's expertise and care made it possible for my girl to stay in her comfort zone, and for me to be with family without severe anxiety. He communicated clearly and often, gave me great updates (and photos!), and was the perfect mix of professional and personable. He took plenty of time with her even when he came out on Christmas Day. He clearly understood cat psychology and Cleo adored him for it (I'm a little shocked because she does not typically warm up to people that quickly at all!). All in all I could not be more thrilled to have found a trustworthy source of care for my baby girl, and will definitely be using Morgan again in the future! 🧡”
About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and understand that each one has a unique personality and comfort level. I’m patient and attentive, especially with shy or independent cats, and I take time to build trust at their pace. I’m currently studying veterinary medicine, which helps me better understand feline health, behavior, and overall well-being. I’m comfortable handling feeding routines, litter box care, playtime, and giving cats the calm, quiet environment they need to feel safe. Whether your cat is playful or prefers space, I adapt to their needs and make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while you’re away. I can administer medications if needed and provide updates and photos after each visit.
“Anna did a great job looking after my senior cat with health issues. As all 3 of my pets have conditions requiring meds, it is a comfort to leave them with someone with Vet Tech experience.”

About: My husband and I are blessed to have a totally fenced in home with over three acres. I decided to use this blessing to bless dogs to come and run and play. Dogs were meant to run and roam not be tied up. I so enjoy being outdoors and being around dogs. I have always had dogs even growing up with my family. My father had a heart for animals and I believe that is where my love has come from. I have three dogs of my own and each one has a very special spirit about them. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the rescues and shelters walking the dogs there. I also take rescue puppies into our home and foster them until they are adopted into a loving family. My husband and I work together and we have plenty of time to give special attention to your fur baby. We believe in exercising your pet whether by means of walking, playing with their favorite toy, sitting on the porch just hanging out and also then giving the proper rest as needed. My yard is fenced in for protected play time. While inside your pet will be allowed to be a part of household for special time and then I have a separate area where your pet will be allowed to have quite time and rest in a crate or in a area without a crate as needed.
“It took a minute but she is getting use to dealing with cats. I just rescued them so was hard for me to tell her their habits. She has learned their ways and adjusted her comings and goings. She has sent me great pics, and I am learning their ways by listening to what she sees. Appreciate her assistance with my boys.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and feel very comfortable handling pets with different needs and personalities. I currently work in recreational therapy twice a week, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail skills that carry over into providing safe and attentive pet care. As an online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, consistency, an supervision they deserve. At home, our family has five dogs, so I am very familiar with managing multiple pets at once and maintaining consistent schedules. In addition to daily care, I have experience with overnight dog sitting that includes week-long stays where I handled feeding, walks, playtime and managing pet's normal routines. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and cats and I understand how to adjust care depending on energy level and age. I have also taken care of chickens while house sitting, so I am comfortable with a variety of animals beyond just dogs and cats. I am able to drive, which allies me to be available for drop ins, walks, and emergencies if needed. Overall, I am dedicated to making families feel safe with leaving their pets at home and making the pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part time and am an online college student. I work Wednesday and Friday nights from 4pm-9pm. For my college classes I do not have to be on any type of zoom, so I do my course work at my own pace. I provide care in my clients home so pets can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all care instructions including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. Safety is my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and keep pets aware from anything that may be unsafe. I work to build trust with both owners and pets by being consistent, patient, and respectful of each pet's personality. I also have reliable transportation, so if an emergency does arise I can provide additional needs.

About: Originally from North Italy I have hands-on experience working with dogs through my role as a K9 Search and Rescue Coordinator in Germany before moving here not long ago, where I trained and handled dogs in obedience, tracking, and real-world scenarios.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, both as a pet owner and professionally. I have hands-on experience working with dogs of all different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My professional experience includes dog training and bathing/grooming, and I am also accredited through PetSmart while currently working toward becoming a certified groomer. This ongoing training continues to strengthen my understanding of canine behavior, body language, handling techniques, and how to keep dogs comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra exercise and attention, or another type of care, I’m happy to tailor my approach to their individual personality and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind.

I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll care for your dogs and cats in the comfort of their own home, keeping their routines as consistent as possible and treating your space with the same respect I would my own. For walks, I’ll stay in familiar local areas and use safe, vetted trails that are appropriate for your dog’s needs and energy level. I have professional experience handling and caring for dogs, including bathing and training, so I’m comfortable paying attention to body language, behavior, and potential safety concerns. I’ll always follow your instructions, communicate with you throughout the stay, and make sure your pet receives attentive, dependable care while you’re away.
About: Hi, I'm Val! I'm a lifelong animal lover with decades of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes (we were definitely a pet-crazy family!). My sister is a former vet tech (I have learned so much from her and she is still my #1 resource when I have to "triage" anything non-emergent), and I grew up surrounded by animals, so pet care has always felt like second nature to me. I’ve cared for senior pets, administered medications, supported animals with special needs, even raised premature puppies! I’m very attuned to the unique rhythms and cues of each animal I meet. I’m gentle, playful, and intuitive, matching energy levels and always paying attention to what a pet needs in the moment. Whether that means slow movements and soft energy or zoomies and tug-of-war, I show up in a way that helps your pet feel safe, respected, and loved. I also deeply value communication with pet parents. I’ll always ask lots of questions to understand your preferences, routines, and what makes your pet feel their best. You can count on regular photo and written updates during our time together! I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with pets who may require more attention on walks together due to triggers, so long as there’s no bite history and we’ve had a proper meet & greet to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. :) I'm looking forward to meeting your fur fam! I work remotely and have a flexible and self-structured schedule, so I’m thankfully able to build my days intentionally around the things that matter, including pet care! I space out my client sessions to make room for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with the animals I care for. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and always take the time to understand what helps them feel safe and comfortable. I read behavior cues, match energy levels, and adjust my approach, whether that means calm and slow or playful and high-energy. I ask detailed questions up front so I can follow your preferences closely, and I always keep you updated with photos and notes. Your pet’s well-being and emotional safety are my top priorities.
“Nicole has been great with my dogs. I made a last minute request for dog walking and she made herself available. I appreciate that she has showed up on time and has given my dogs good quality care.”
About: Hi! I’m Amy, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years. What started as helping friends and family has grown into something I truly love—providing reliable, compassionate care for pets of all kinds. I have experience with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, rabbits, goats, and more. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended pet sitting, I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique personality, needs, and routine. For dog walking, I’ve been doing it consistently for the past 2 years and understand how important exercise, structure, and safety are. I always make sure your dog gets the attention, activity, and care they deserve. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize keeping them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in good hands. If you’re looking for someone experienced, dependable, and truly passionate about animals—I’d love to help care for your pets! I am currently working from home and most of the time my schedule is flexible, so my weekends and most of the week is open for whatever your pets may need! We have 3 acres of property so lots of room to run around however our yard is not fenced in. We have four dogs and two of them would be more than happy to be a playmate if needed!
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dog breeds my whole life. I’ve also owned cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have 2+ years of experience with taking care of bearded dragons and I’ve had a couple visits with snakes, specifically corn snakes. I work with any and all dogs/cats. I also like to send pics/videos of the pets to their owners daily for that reassurance that their fur baby is taken care of with the upmost care! I’m currently a full-time college student. I’m available any day and any time of the week. I’m usually available last minute as well and around holidays if needed. I currently have 4 dogs; 3 Yorkies and 1 Boarder Collie mix. They’re set on a twice per day feeding and their internal clock is set to those times. If I were to be in a clients home, I would do my best to ensure the animal stays in their routine and their feeding/medication is on schedule. They’d get plenty of play times and unlimited cuddles!
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs my entire life, I also have a lot of experience handling and taking care of large breed dogs like pitbulls and dogo argentinos. I'm a college student with lots of free time and I would love to spend time with your pets and love them like mine. I can walk, feed, bathe and mostly love all kinds of dogs and cats and this is like a dream job to me. Taking care of animals will be my mainly routine since I'm on break from college. I will put all my time and care into making sure your fur babies are taken care of. I live in an apartment complex that has a dog park and my nice quiet neighborhood is walking distance from a playground and a high school track & field. I mostly do this for fun and supplemental income on my free time so I am flexible on cost and cancellation. Your pets' safety and happiness are paramount. I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone.

“Mickey took amazing care of my 2 fur babies, Juno and Willow. He messaged me every single day and updated me. He even sent pictures and videos of them playing! I highly recommend Mickey as a dog sitter to anyone and will surely spread the word. When I picked my babies up they were happy and healthy and even better behaved! Thank you so much! I will surely contact you again for our next family vacation!”
“Megan was amazing with my two dogs. I had never used a dog sitter before and was a little hesitant but the communication and pics minimized my fear. I will be using her and her family again. Thanks, Megan!”
“The relationship started with a meet and greet and Yiqiuxi and Nick asked all of the right questions to ensure that it was a good fit. They were interested in his routines and most importantly the do's and don'ts so Gucci didn't pick up any bad habits. Next the drop off. They have a huge area for Gucci to get plenty of exercise and he showed an immediate sign that he was comfortable which sealed the deal. We could not be happier with how well our Gucci was taken care of (6 nights) I was truly impressed with the consistency in daily updates which included photos, cuddle time and summary of his day. We appreciate their flexibility when I needed to add an extra day due to travel delays. I highly recommend Yiqiuxi and Nick and I am getting ready to book a new date right away. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“BLUF: My dog came home happy and exhausted. I'd use Cameron again in a heartbeat! Drake (75-lb lab) had the time of his life over an extended weekend with Cameron. Cameron came to our rescue when our existing weekend plans fell through. Her dog Cherry, a Sheepadoodle, is his new BFF. Cameron had another dog staying with her as well, and the 3 of them made a very active pack. Based on his step count, he didn't stop running around the entire time! Cameron has a fenced back yard on a quiet street. Dogs are allowed on the furniture (my dog prefers to sleep on the couch, so this was important). Cherry is a wonderful host as well, and an absolute doll.”
“Lilian was great, super friendly and professional. So attentive on sending photos and updates. She was so good with our Kuma and Bu. They felt at home with her while we we’re away. I would recommend her to all. Thank you and looking forward to a great relationship.”
“Seyla was extremely communicative during our puppy’s long stay with him. Every day we received multiple videos and photos, including her daily meals. He let us know how she was adjusting behaviorally and there were numerous activities for our extremely energetic puppy to get into. Her behavior has actually improved since she’s come home. Even our kids think so. Very grateful to Seyla and we will make sure she stays with him going forward! Highly recommend!!”
“Schuyler was flexible and helped navigate a change of plans. She and her husband came over twice a day and spent time with our pups, played with them, and gave them much needed attention while I was away.”
“What an amazing experience! The communication and coordination for drop off/during boarding/pick up was all incredible. They were super flexible in my schedule and very responsive. They even made sure to keep me updated on Lucy during her stay with pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my baby girl and would rebook all over again! She came back a happy pup 🥰”
“We thought we were going on vacation - nope, our dogs had the vacation of their lives!!! They love Mary and she clearly loves animals. Our beagle actually moped on the ride home 😂🤣”
“This was the first time we have had our dog Keetna stay with Sarah. He seemed so happy while he was there and was having such fun! There is no doubt that he was well taken care of. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Connie is the absolute best! She is so easy to work with. Our Golden Retriever loves staying with her. Connie send pictures everyday of our pup playing in her backyard with her other dogs! 100% recommend booking with Connie!!”
“We have been using Jim as our dog-sitter for over 3 years and feel very fortunate to have found him when we first started using Rover. He is always quick to respond to sit requests and is great about sending pictures of Bodhi on their walks. We highly recommend Jim!”
“As tempting as it is to gatekeep Miss Kimberly..CAN’T DO IT SHE IS AMAZING! After my Rover sitter canceled on me last minute, I was scrambling to find a good quality sitter for Roman. Immediately I was welcomed with open arms by Miss Kimberly. She really made it feel like a family member was taking care of my dog. She is very attentive, kept me updated daily multiple times a day, and was very thorough with explaining to me every detail of what his experience will be while he stayed with her & safety precautions she takes. They have a beautiful yard and plenty of space in their home for my house hippo. Roman immediately bonded with her husband too, who was also very welcoming and kind. She has bumped up to my #1 Rover sitter ⭐️”
“Kevin was an excellent dog sitter for our golden retriever! He sent several pictures daily and was very accommodating with our pick up time/drop off. Will definitely use Kevin&family again!”
“This was our first time boarding our 2 dogs (ages 15 and 5) in a private home and this was the first time that our dogs returned from boarding with no signs of stress. Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna have a great room set up for the dogs and were very accommodating to the needs of our 15 year old dog. They sent photos and messages throughout the week to assure us that our dogs were doing fine. We highly recommend Vanessa, Geoffrey, and Johanna and would not hesitate to board with them again.”
“Sassy is happy when we leave her with Cheryl and Gustavo. It is SUPER hard for us to ever leave her but they take good care of her and we get regular pics and updates! Lucky to have found them!”
