“Coda had an absolutely delightful time with Karen and her dogs and family. He settled right in with him and had a perfect stay from everything I’ve seen. They are wonderful people and I highly recommend them.”

“Alexandra and her family took amazing care of our sometimes nervous dog bella and sent her back to us as happy as we left her. As caring and competent a dog sitter as you'll find.”


“Candice was absolutely exceptional!!! I am very impressed with her service. This was our first time ever leaving our dog with anyone. I felt so comfortable with her, she has good energy and warm smile. She lives on such a beautiful water property and has two cute dogs that look so well taken care of. Her home is so nice and cozy, I felt like my dog was living in luxury for 9 days! My dog seemed right at home immediately at drop off hanging out with her two dogs and didn’t care I was leaving which is rare. While on vacation I received message updates and pictures of my dog that were so cute. Her two sweet daughter’s even spent time with my dog. Maxxie also got a squeaky toy parting gift from Candice. It literally was the perfect family for my dog while we were away it doesn’t get any better than this! I was a peace and knew our boy Maxxie was very well taken care of. She treated my dog like it was her own and that is what you want in a Dog Sitter! I will be a repeat customer!!! I don’t think it gets better than Candice she is the BEST and truly raises the bar high. I highly recommend her!!!”

“I dropped my five-year-old dog off on a Thursday morning and came home on Saturday to pick her up. You could tell she was well cared for from the moment I saw her. Justin and Stephanie sent pictures the entire time and I could tell she was enjoying herself inside and outside. She had space of her own or she could play with all the other dogs that they took very good care of. I will definitely be using Justin and Stephanie again and I would suggest that you do too!”


“Olivia was very wonderful and patient with our mastiff and our schnauzer. She would send daily photos and would respond quickly whenever I had any questions about my pets. I highly recommend her services and I will definitely book her again.”
“Sue was great. My dog got along with her two dogs, and had a nice fenced in yard for them to run and play. She kept me informed and sent me a couple of pics over the week. Havre de Grace isis on the way to the Baltimore airport so very convenient drop off snd pick up. I don’t travel Vera often but will reach out the next time I do.”

“Geosselyn is friendly and very kind. She gave me frequent updates with photos/video to let me know how my dog was adjusting at her home. My small Maltese truly received excellent, personalized care. I highly recommend Geosselyn and will place my dog in her care again!”

“Yvonne was so nice and pleasant to work with. I do not like boarding or leaving my pup behind when I have to travel, but she made it a lot easier. She is honest and responsive and only wants the best for your fur friend. I hope to book with her in the future. Thank you so much Yvonne.”

“We left our tiny little shih tzu puppy with Bethany and her pitbull, Star, for the weekend. The two not only got along great, but I understand Pookie harassed Star at length and got nothing but cuddles and patience in return. Bethany was very nice and made everything easy for us. She returned our messages promptly and made us feel at ease while we were away. Next time we need a sitter, Bethany will be our first call. ”

“Joseph kept us updated on how our dog was doing while we were away with tons of adorable photos and videos, making it clear he was having a blast. We could tell our pup was getting all the exercise he needed, thanks to Joseph's commitment to regular walks and playtime at the dog park. It was such a relief knowing our dog was in great hands!”

“Nicole took excellent care of Sammy & Pickles. They were very happy & looked like they had a great time! Nicole also sent pictures of them throughout their stay. I would definitely recommend her dog sitting services!”
“Couldn’t have had a better experience. Such a sweet, gracious lady. Sent pictures and communicated daily. Loved on my babies, not just “dogs sat.” Even allowed me to pick them up LATE as my flight was delayed! I have my new local “Rover-ine!””

“Timber had the BEST time at Jill & Thomas’s amazing dog friendly home. He played, and played, and napped and then played some more. He can home happy, healthy, and oh so tired! I received lots of updates while he was with them, both photos and videos. A+++ dog vacation spot.”
“Sharon could not have been nicer or more responsive. She regularly sent pics of Fin interacting with her family which made us feel at ease. She has a nice fenced in yard for your pup to play in. Highly recommend.”


“This was our first time using Rover.com. We were very comfortable leaving Emma with Donna. During her stay we received photos and updates showing how content she was. We can't wait to book again and will request Donna every time. Highly recommended!”

“We cannot say enough about what awesome dog sitters Mark and Kayleigh are! They were so kind, communicative, and caring! They sent regular pictures and updates and really made us feel comfortable about leaving our 11 year old shepherd mix with them. We will be booking with them for as long as we can!”


“Pearl and Lanny took great care of our dog for us while we were away. They treated him like he was one of their own, which put our minds totally at ease. Pearl was very attentive to every tidbit of information that we shared with her about our dog's routine, preferences, and quirks, showing how very conscientious she is when she accepts someone else's pet in her care. She graciously arranged for a meet-and-greet before our first booking to confirm that things would work out well, which they did. We received notes from Pearl while we were away, giving us even greater assurance that all was well. Based on an exceptional initial experience, we will be repeat customers. We are very grateful to have some who will care just as well for our four-legged family member as we would during those times when we need or prefer to leave him temporarily. Thank you, Pearl (and Lanny), for being there for us!”

“Aaron and his great team were so very caring and thoughtful of our needs. They really took fabulous care of our dog. We saw that they were so knowledgeable and professional and we would highly recommend them. We felt so very comfortable with our dog in their care. They were wonderful.”

“Sara took a great care of our little guy. She gave timely updates and I can see that our Leo had so much fun and comfortable at her place. I would definitely keep our little guy with Sara again.”

“Everything went well with my dog's overnight stay. She got her walks and Sandra communicated with me throughout her stay with photos. Much appreciated Sandra! Hope to use your services again. Lisa H.”

“I went out of town for a month and Marlee was the main sitter for my cat. As hard as it was to be away from my cat for so long, I knew she’d be safe and happy with Marlee! She goes above and beyond and always sends lots of pictures. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“THANK YOU MARIAN YOU WERE PHENOMENAL! Marian sent us very detailed notes on what our three kitties were up to each time she visited- and tons of great photos, always showing she took time to give them playtime and extra love! She had no problem administering meds and caring for our medically complex boy. Marian’s detailed updates were perfect for a helicopter pet parent like me- Highly recommend!!”


“Justin & Stephanie took great care of my kitten and sent me regular photo updates! I also appreciate that they were flexible about drop-off time for my almost last minute reservation. I would choose them again when needed.”


“Julia is wonderful and did an amazing job watching my cat. She spent time with her and made sure that my cat warmed up to her, which isn't easy. I look forward to having her help again soon!”

“Rebecca took terrific care of my three cats for over 6 weeks! She was dependable, caring, and communicated wonderfully. Will definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend!”


“Everything went smoothly. Communication was great and all drop in visits for my senior cat occurred as planned. Always on time and provided a photo. I would use Jenni again in the future.”


“Kelsie went above and beyond. In addition to following my instructions, showed up like clockwork, sent lots of photos, and when I returned home my cats were like "Oh, it's you." I couldn't have asked for more.”


“Brice did a fantastic job taking care of our Hazel! She was prompt. Made sure she was fully taken care of. Was very thorough with photos and reviews and overall we had a great experience. We would definitely book again!”


“Rebecca took great care of our dog. She was very dependable and on time even in poor weather conditions. Our dog was very comfortable with her. We would highly recommend her to anyone.”


About: Ive taken care of many animals my whole life ive owned a few dogs one of which was born deaf and i had one who went blind at an early age so i know how to handle special need dogs and other pets and have been dog-sitting and cat-sitting for many people since I was 12, I love all animals and will take care of them as if they were my own. I am experienced with young puppies and senior dogs. I am also experienced with dogs that suffer from separation anxiety. I am also very good at sending lots of pictures and daily updates of your fur babies! I am currently working part time at a med spa and I make my own schedule so I will have plenty of flexible time in my day to spend with your pets for whenever you need. I have 2 dogs of my own at home although I do not offer other pets to stay at my home due to having a sensitive senior dog of my own who was born deaf and is now partially blind. I will however be able to stay at your home with your fur babies and even do overnight and extended visits for however long you will need them to be watched. I also will clean up any mess your pets will make because I know how chaotic it may be so please leave out any cleaning supplies I may need.

“Christine took wonderful care of my 3 cats and she kept me informed about their daily activities. These were drop-in visits to my home for 16 days while I was on vacation. Would definitely use her again.”

“This is my first time using Rover. I could not have had a better experience. Raven was amazing. Timely. Communicative. Friendly. Genuine in her services. What a relief it was to know that my pet (2) cats were receiving excellent TLC and treats. Will call on her again if needed.”


“Kat is fantastic! My two very shy cats loved Kat; she kindly spent time with both of them during each drop in visit we scheduled for 5 consecutive days and provided us with daily pics/updates. I highly recommend Kat for any pet sitting or walking needs. Thanks, Kat!”


About: I am a very active and energetic person and love seeing the joy in all dogs. I have a 4 year old rescue who is also very energetic! She keeps me on my feet! Dogs love me because I love giving them attention all the time, I like to spoil them because that is what all dogs deserve! I am a great multitasker so I can give your dogs all the attention they need. I treat all dogs as if they are my family. I am currently working part time at UD and I work from home, so I will have plenty time for your pets! Also dogs make me the happiest! The way I care for pets is showing them lots of attention when they want it. I play with them physically and mentally. I have simple games that can stimulate your dogs mind.

“Reese had a great time with Karen and her husband. Karen was super sweet and welcoming. She sent pics and videos too! So glad we found someone we can trust super close to home! 🥰”


“This was our first time using Rover and Donna made it seamless and easy going! Our pup has a ton of energy and she loved him like her own. Her fenced in yard was exactly what he needed. I would definitely recommend Donna for your next dog sitter!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with Border Collies and have also adopted several dogs over the years, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy working breeds to laid-back companions. I've also volunteered at several shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. I work from home (as does my wife) so your pet will be getting consistent, attentive care. To be honest, our dog passed away last fall and we are missing the joy of being dog owners and having dogs around, but we need something a little more flexible for the time being. You are getting two sitters for the price of one and we will care for your dog as if they were our own :) As a former dog parent who has used Rover, my goal is to provide exactly what I was looking for each time I booked a walker/sitter: clear communication, limited hassle, and all of the assurances that you can rest easy and not worry...your doggo is in good hands! I work from home and call my own hours (as does my wife) so as long as we know your dog's routine we will make sure to incorporate it into our own. We have a fenced-in yard and a walking path near our home so walks are never a problem (we love walks). My wife and I both work from home so one of us will always be giving your dog attention/supervision. We have previously owned dogs who were flight risks so we have been conditioned to keep an eye out, keep doors closed, etc. We have a big fenced-in yard and have a little indoor gate/fence that we use in the house if need be to secure a hallway, etc.
“Mutig was so happy when we picked him up! I have been nervous about where to leave him during a vacation we have coming up, but I was put at ease after this stay. She sent so many happy pictures of Mutig and Quincy playing and sent me updates of how he was doing. Yvonne and her husband were very caring. She fed the dogs separately, took them out often, and showed a lot of care. We are so glad we found her to have piece of mind that we are leaving Mutig in good hands when we cant be there!”

About: ***drop off and pick up times are between 9 am -2:30 pm or between 5 pm and 10 pm***** as I have zoom meetings in mornings and afternoons ; Rover will not let me put in specific times I do apologize****I have two fur babies of my own! They are spoiled rotten. Their names are Rainy and Stormy . I am well trained in giving oral medications as I had a fur baby that had congestive heart failure for 4 years whom also was a senior dog when he passed at 18 years old. I have taken care of other people’s dogs and cats. Where they are treated like my babies while here as well and get spoiled and lots of attention. I work from home and care for my grandmother so I will home with them at all times. I can administrate pills/medicine if needed. I am able to take the dogs out whenever it is needed. My babies are always by my side like shadows. I have a fenced in yard.My dogs love to play with friends dogs. The more the merrier!
“We were very impressed with Geosselyn’s care of our dog! Her large fenced in backyard was perfect! Our dog seemed very comfortable with her! We highly recommend Geosselyn!”

“I really appreciated Nicole's care for and attention to our senior guy. I had no worries leaving him in her care. And since she only takes one animal per day it worked out perfectly. Will definitely use her again!”

“Jackson's first day with Megan & Vincent was full of sunshine, friends, & fun! Thank you for all the photos & updates throughout his stay. He came home happy & would like to come back to play again! :)”


“As a new client, I’ve had a really positive experience so far with Pearl. From the beginning, she has been professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Even in a short time, my dog seems relaxed and well cared for after spending time with her. Overall, I’m very pleased with the care she’s had provided and would definitely recommend her to others Sylvia A”

“Susan was great with Rupie! She was very communicative and texted us updates throughout the day which really put us at ease. You can tell she has a lot of experience with animals and Rupie was quickly comfortable with her. I would definitely book with Susan again!”

“Karen provided excellent care for my daughter’s dog Pippin! Pippin can be anxious but she was right at home with Karen and her dogs. Karen sent us lots of pictures and updates and was an overall outstanding dog sitter!”

“It was very easy to book the stay for our fur baby. Paris communicated with me from the start of my inquiry, throughout my booking, my pup's stay & after pick up. I don't leave my baby with other people often but I felt at total ease leaving her with Paris. She has earned my trust and my future business. If you book with Paris, you and your fur baby with be super happy. Thank you so very much for taking great care of our girl!”

About: My animal-loving 17 year old daughter would love to play with your pet and take care of him/her. I will be helping her in every way. I've had dogs since I was a kid, so I know how to care for them. Currently we have two cats and a Chihuahua named Buddy. I work from home so your pet will not be alone for long periods of time and will have frequent bathroom breaks. I work flexible hours from home so I am always available and can take breaks to play with or walk your pet. My kids are eager to help. I have a backyard and live in a neighborhood with lots of places to walk with your dog. My own dog is not aggressive towards any pets.
“Justin & Stephanie have a nice home that's very dog friendly. The back yard is fenced, clean and spacious. Our dog Molly had a great time at day care and we immediately booked her to be boarded over the following weekend. Can't recommend them highly enough!”

About: I don’t just watch dogs I treat every dog like family. 🐾❤️ I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. From playtime and cuddles to walks, attention, and plenty of positive interaction, I make sure every dog gets more than just supervision they get a fun, personalized experience they’ll look forward to every time. Because your dog deserves more than a place to stay they deserve a second home. I am a stay at home mom my attention is on kids and animals I only go out if I have to and it’s never a long time I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs (small dogs ) to keep your fur baby company. They will be loved and protected by me and my family❤️
“Rover services are top notch. Claudia was/is an angel and was fantastic with my dog Bella. I am using her serive again in a week. I didn't know about the tipping, so l will make up to her on Bella's next visit.”


About: I have taken care of dogs, my whole life whether they were my own or somebody else’s I absolutely love animals your animal will always be safe in my care and have the best time. I’m currently a stay at home mom so if I leave the house, I only leave to go to the grocery store or to grab the little one something to eat if they want it I have a huge backyard my house backs up against the woods. We are not close to the road at all. You’re dog would never be let outside alone my kids would run around in the backyard with them 💕

“Paul and his fiancée do a great job with my Husky. My dog normally doesn’t enjoy other humans, and he loses his appetite when I travel. But Paul’s energy didn’t bring any of those concerns out.”


About: Hi everyone! My name's Shirl and I am hoping to make your life a bit easier by taking away the stress of leaving your pup behind while you're away. I have been pet sitting for over 12 years; I used to have dogs come board with me while owners went away, but I've found that most owners prefer their pets to stay in the comfort of their own home. I have years of experience doing overnight pet sitting, but unfortunately my growing family (3 dogs and a cat of my own) no longer allows for me to stay away from home overnight. I am happy to provide multiple daily visits and/or walks! My goal is to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while you're away, by keeping their daily routine as close to "normal" as possible. I've cared for all types of pets including dogs, cats, bunnies, chicks, quail, lizards, fish, etc.! I am an experienced dog handler/ animal lover at heart. I worked at/managed a doggie day care/boarding facility for 4 years, learning from a very experienced trainer who focuses on positive reinforcement techniques ONLY. During my time there, I had opportunities to complete trainings to understand dog behaviors and body language. I have volunteered at BARCS as a dog walker/foster, working primarily with bully breeds. Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal lover my entire life. From playing with salamanders as a kid, to growing up with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes; I've also had bunnies, fish, frogs, hermit crabs, hamsters, birds...the list goes on! I couldn't imagine a life without animals in it. My experience administering medication Yes. Working at a dog boarding facility for nearly 2 years I have had to give many forms of medications, and my personal pets also take oral medications. I am not trained to give injections. My full time job allows me to work from home majority of the week. That makes it easy for me to swing by for a visit at different times of the day. The latest drop in I can provide is 7pm. I am happy to provide updates as soon as I arrive, during the stay, and as I leave. For dog walks, I prefer not to introduce any dog that I’m handling to another dog passing by. This ensures everyone’s safety.
“I contacted Erikah, last minute, to walk my mom's energetic Golden Retriever. She responded within two hours and adjusted her plans to walk the dog the same day! My mom raved about her approach--super friendly--as well as how well she handled Beamer. He jumped all over her when she arrived, but she stayed cool, calmed him down and got to the walk. She walked him for the full hour and actually wore him down. Absolutely A+”

“Marian is terrific. Our dog can be stubborn and difficult but she has been super patient and takes great care of him. Marian also communicates extremely well and is very reliable. She’s a dream and I know our pet is in great hands.”


“Nancy was fabulous with our dog! She was dependable and respectful. Our dog enjoyed her time with Nancy so much that she was upset when she left. I would gladly book her services again!”


About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, including my previous dog, an 80-pound Golden Retriever. She could be reactive toward other dogs while on leash, so I became very comfortable handling strong dogs, staying calm in challenging situations, and maintaining control even when she was pulling. In addition to caring for my previous dog, I have regularly looked after neighbors’ and friends’ dogs by walking, feeding, and ensuring they were well cared for while their owners were away. In my personal life I love going on long runs up to 6 miles so if you have a higher energy dog that would like to join me I would love to take them with me! I am currently a university student, and I have off of school until the spring semester begins in February. I am free most weekends, and weekdays Monday-Friday. I am comfortable your dog or dogs in any environment. I have taken care of dogs that used special harness’ or prong collars so I know how to work those if needed. I love to run and hike so I can also bring your dog along if they are extra energetic!
About: I’ve been trusted to watch and play with many family friends pets over the past and have grown up with pets for my entire life. I love animals and would love to spend my college break caring for some! I am currently working part-time so have plenty of time to walk/watch pets and am very amenable with my schedule. Open to working around the owners lifestyle. I carefully listen to instructions and rules set forth by the pet owner and ensure that the animals are safe and well cared for while I am with them!
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs and three years of hands-on training in animal science at TCHS, I provide expert care in walking, feeding, grooming, and administering medications. Currently, I apply these skills daily at a local kennel, ensuring every pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I currently work part-time at Vixen Hall Kennels. My schedule changes weekly, but I’m flexible with hours and can easily accommodate different times. I’m also willing to get up early or stay up late if needed to ensure your pets receive the best care at any time of day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain their pets' routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication. I’m committed to providing personalized care and always prioritize the well-being of each animal, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away.
About: I have done pet sitting for many years, I have worked with multiple different types of animals many times. I love animals, can handle stressful situations, and know how to make responsable decisions regarding your home and beloved animals. I also will communicate effectively and be timely in my care of your pet. I work a job that has a flexible schedule, I do not have any prior commitments on weekends and any pet sitting jobs I book will become top priority. Pets should be treated with just as much respect as any person. Introducing yourself, acting calm and kindly, and also reading body cues and signs to make sure they remain comfortable at all times.
About: Hi, I’m Sophie! I attended a vocational trade school where I studied Animal Science for three years. I gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of small and large animals, while learning proper handling and restraints, health and behavior, as well as how to safely administer oral and injectable medications. Through my training, I became certified in animal first aid and CPR. I also have experience caring for puppies/kittens, senior animals and pets with special needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining consistent routines. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and also worked at a kennel in high school, so I have spent years caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Because of that, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I give the best care and attention that I possibly can. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing in the yard, relaxing on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, we are committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive, reliable care. We understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in the care of someone else, and our goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family member! :) Hey! I’m Dylan and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a ton of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up on a farm and have always had multiple pets at a time, so I learned responsibility and animal care at a young age. I currently have 3 dogs and 4 cats of my own, and I love spending time with them—whether it’s going on runs with my dogs or cuddling up with my cats. I’m calm, patient, and always make sure animals feel safe and cared for. I treat every animal like they’re my own, with love and respect. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away! I’m currently working a full-time job Monday through Thursday, from 6am until anywhere between 3pm and 5pm, depending on the day. I have Saturdays and Sundays off, and occasionally Fridays. Sophie works 2pm to 10pm a few days a week, her schedule is different every week. Since our schedules are opposite and Sophie has a bit more free time, one of us is always available to spend a good amount of time with your pet. The first thing we do when taking care of our own pets, or others pets, is let them out to go to the bathroom. Next, we prioritize feeding and medicating (if necessary) and cleaning and refilling all water bowls. Once everything important is taken care of, we then spend quality time with them, whether it’s playing fetch, cuddling or going for a walk. Before we leave, we make sure we let them back outside for a good while to make sure they take care of all of their business.
“Christine does a phenomenal job caring for our puppy while we are at work. She responds immediately, takes a bunch of pics for us, and always ensures he is comfortable before leaving. Christine always makes sure to meet our specific needs and is very attentive with Arlo. We are so thankful to have such a reliable and kind person to assist us when needed.”

About: Hi, I am Becky and I am a lifelong animal lover. I have always had pets in my home since birth. My husband shares my passion for animals and has served as a Vet Tech in the Army. As we have traveled the world, we have watched pets of all ages and sizes. My kids love having furry friends visit and enjoy joining me when walking the dog. So much so, my daughter's first word was "kitten." In our home, we have a beautiful black lab, tortie kitty, and a handful of geckos that live in our backyard. Now that my three children are in school, I would love to assist you with dog walking, cat and dog boarding, and daily check-ins for any of your furry family members.
“I contacted Matthew for help with my energetic rottie, and he responded quickly and politely. Matthew sent lots of photos and pictures on his walk with Pablo which I loved. Pablo took to him soo fast! He looked soo happy and comfortable on their walk. It was nice to see all the photos along with updates about how he was doing. I think we will be using Matthew more wherever I get the chance. I would definitely recommend using him.”

About: I’ve cared for pets since age 11, and I truly enjoy giving them the love, attention, and gentle care they need and deserve every day. Pet care fits easily into my daily life because I’m in school, working part-time, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to help whenever needed. I don’t provide in-home boarding, but I always respect and carefully follow each owner’s instructions to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

“I dropped my five-year-old dog off on a Thursday morning and came home on Saturday to pick her up. You could tell she was well cared for from the moment I saw her. Justin and Stephanie sent pictures the entire time and I could tell she was enjoying herself inside and outside. She had space of her own or she could play with all the other dogs that they took very good care of. I will definitely be using Justin and Stephanie again and I would suggest that you do too!”

“We left our tiny little shih tzu puppy with Bethany and her pitbull, Star, for the weekend. The two not only got along great, but I understand Pookie harassed Star at length and got nothing but cuddles and patience in return. Bethany was very nice and made everything easy for us. She returned our messages promptly and made us feel at ease while we were away. Next time we need a sitter, Bethany will be our first call. ”

“Joseph kept us updated on how our dog was doing while we were away with tons of adorable photos and videos, making it clear he was having a blast.

“Timber had the BEST time at Jill & Thomas’s amazing dog friendly home. He played, and played, and napped and then played some more. He can home happy, healthy, and oh so tired! I received lots of updates while he was with them, both photos and videos. A+++ dog vacation spot.”
“Sharon could not have been nicer or more responsive. She regularly sent pics of Fin interacting with her family which made us feel at ease. She has a nice fenced in yard for your pup to play in. Highly recommend.”


“This was our first time using Rover.com. We were very comfortable leaving Emma with Donna. During her stay we received photos and updates showing how content she was. We can't wait to book again and will request Donna every time. Highly recommended!”

“We cannot say enough about what awesome dog sitters Mark and Kayleigh are! They were so kind, communicative, and caring! They sent regular pictures and updates and really made us feel comfortable about leaving our 11 year old shepherd mix with them. We will be booking with them for as long as we can!”


“Pearl and Lanny took great care of our dog for us while we were away. They treated him like he was one of their own, which put our minds totally at ease. Pearl was very attentive to every tidbit of information that we shared with her about our dog's routine, preferences, and quirks, showing how very conscientious she is when she accepts someone else's pet in her care. She graciously arranged for a meet-and-greet before our first booking to confirm that things would work out well, which they did. We received notes from Pearl while we were away, giving us even greater assurance that all was well. Based on an exceptional initial experience, we will be repeat customers. We are very grateful to have some who will care just as well for our four-legged family member as we would during those times when we need or prefer to leave him temporarily. Thank you, Pearl (and Lanny), for being there for us!”

“Aaron and his great team were so very caring and thoughtful of our needs. They really took fabulous care of our dog. We saw that they were so knowledgeable and professional and we would highly recommend them. We felt so very comfortable with our dog in their care. They were wonderful.”

“Sara took a great care of our little guy. She gave timely updates and I can see that our Leo had so much fun and comfortable at her place. I would definitely keep our little guy with Sara again.”

“Everything went well with my dog's overnight stay. She got her walks and Sandra communicated with me throughout her stay with photos. Much appreciated Sandra! Hope to use your services again. Lisa H.”

“Susan is INCREDIBLE! I didn’t have a single worry leaving our boy in her care. She was extremely consistent with updates and pictures that made us feel like we were never even gone. She went above and beyond to not only make sure our puppy was enjoying himself, but to make sure our minds were at ease during our vacation. 10/10, recommend ☺️”

“Thomas and his sons took great care of Tucker while I was away. He responded quickly every time I reached out and Tucker seemed right at home when I picked him up at the end of his stay!”

About: Ive had cats and dogs since a very young age I currently have 4 dogs and three cats. I have many years of experience and love them all! I am currently a student at University of Delaware and I thought maybe this job would work for my class schedule. I have a lot of free time outside of class. I have 3 cats, a boarder collie, australian shepherd, and a west highland terrier. They are all very good animals most of my animals live at home except for one of my cats that lives with me at school, but I’ve taken care of all these animals from almost all my life.
“Beth is absolutely amazing!!! She cared for our furbaby like she was her own and spent the time to update with pictures and videos. This was the first time leaving our new rescue dog with anyone and after the first day we knew Beth was the right person!!! Our pup was happy and playful and having the time of her life…right at home and comfy! We are thankful to have found someone as wonderful as Beth!”

“Nicole is a wonderful, very caring and super attentive dog boarder! We were able to schedule meet and greet and boarding on a very short notice. Nicole was amazingly nice to Lou, who is very shy and not an easy dog. She was able to gain his trust very quickly, Lou returned home as a happy and normal himself! I really appreciate tons of pictures and multiple updates that Nicole provided. I highly recommend Nicole to everyone looking for a home away from home for their dogs. We had a superb experience!”
