“Priscilla was a very attentive and nurturing sitter. As a new dog mom, I was nervous to have my very anxious pup stay with a sitter, however, Priscilla is very clear and precise with how she cares for each pup, provides numerous check-ins with photos and gives the pups so much love and attention. I would highly recommend her and will be booking in the future!”
“We were in the middle of moving and Dexter had a great comfortable time at Taylor’s! We will become regulars in the near future. Thank you for watching my baby Taylor!”
“Theresa (and her daughter) were an absolute godsend! As a 1st time Rover user who needed emergency/last minute extended boarding services, I was very worried about how the experience would go. But by the end of our meet & greet, all my worry was gone. Theresa was excellent at checking in each day, was considerate of any special instructions I gave, & sent hilariously great photos of my dog throughout his stay. I could not thank her enough for all the work and care she put in to watching my dog. 20/10 would book with her again!!!”
“Loves Animals!!! Billy and Baron were well cared for. Alanni was experienced, knowledgeable, and personable. We were well pleased with the care of our puppies and would recommend her in a heartbeat! Thank you Alanni and Rover.com!”
“Bo and I feel so fortunate to have found Felice! We used her for the first time this past weekend. I was nervous because Bo has the worse separation anxiety and would literally stop eating while he is away from me. But as soon as we met Felice I could tell he liked her and her home. Well, Felice took such great care of him that he finished the food I sent with him! (Which is a first!!!) Felice kept me updated with lots of pictures of him and he looked very comfortable and HAPPY! He came home vibrant and content! I could tell he really enjoyed his stay in her home! I already told Felice I plan to use her again.”
“Lingli was so kind and attentive to our dog. She sent frequent updates and pictures that made us at ease being away from our fur baby. We will definitely be booking with her again next time we go out of town :)”
“We had a family emergency and had to go out of town without our puppies. We were very anxious leaving them for the first time. But Joy and Rodney took great care of them. We got lots of pictures and videos, which helped us know they were safe and happy. It was a very great experience for us.”
“Brittanie and Ryan ensured that both Bodhi and I felt comfortable with boarding him at their home when I dropped him off. They were attentive to him and sent me pictures and communication throughout the stay, which helped put me at ease. They even contacted me before I dropped him off so I would pack extra food in case of a potential snow storm. I’m thrilled that they were our first experience using Rover, and I will recommend them to any friends needing dog care in the future.”
“Lakesha and Marshall are wonderful! I could tell they took great care of Bearry Manilow, and they sent me so many pictures which I really appreciated. Also, their dog, Rocco, is adorable and sweet. Highly recommend!”
“Wydia has done another superb job with my big fur baby Brick. He was excited to see her upon drop-off. As usual she sent pictures and was even able to get him to wear a bandana around his neck.”
“Jerry did an awesome job taking care of Oreo for the past few days. He was very accommodating and communicated daily with status updates and pictures. From what I could see in the pics Oreo had a blast and was well taken care of! Highly recommended!”
“Esther and Yi took excellent care of my Shorkie. He got to snuggle with the family and lots of walks. I received photos and updates every day. If I need Charlie to be boarded again, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them.”
“Camden had a great time with Francine and has been napping all day due to all the fun he had running with the other dogs. When we dropped him off he never looked back, so excited when he arrived.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 15 years. I have experience with diabetic dogs and senior pets. I also have experience giving shots and medications. I coach part-time in the afternoon/early evening and have a very flexible schedule. I can pet sit on weekdays and weekends and am available for short notice drop-ins and walks. I’m a guest in your pet’s home. My job is to make them feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I’m patient and will prioritize building a trusting relationship with your pet.
“Elizabeth was wonderful! We did 3 drop in visits and each one was done in a timely manner with all the focus on the kitties. Communication was a breeze and our cats were very comfortable the whole time!”
“Destiny was great with our two kitties! She did several drop ins while we were out of town and she cleaned litter and food well, as well as our kittie water fountain. She even picked up some stuff the kitties had knocked over and let us know where she put it. Additionally, she tried to befriend our shy kittie, and even though he didn't want to come out it was nice that she kept checking on him!”
About: Pets aren’t just a hobby for me. They have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have personally owned and raised many dogs and cats of various shapes, sizes and personalities. This experience has given me a deep love and understanding of animal behavior needs and unique quirks. I currently work full-time but I am available early morning and evenings during the week and I have an open weekend schedule availability for all times. Caring for pets in their own home is all about maintaining their normal routine to keep their stress low. I will send regular photo update, so they have total piece of mine while they’re away.
“Jennifer took great care of our three kitties, and went above and beyond when it came to our senior diabetic cat having a litterbox issue. She provided us with photos and written updates for each visit. During our whole trip I never doubted that they were in good hands. We came back to happy, healthy cats!”
“As always, Keira took spectacular care of our cat, Max, while we were on vacation. She doesn’t hesitate to spend extra time with him, play with him, give him love, and put up with his quirks. Though we hate leaving him, we always feel better knowing she’s looking after him. Thank you again ❤️”
“Our first time using Rover and we lucked out with Stephani. She was so good about keeping us informed on our cat with photos and updates on how she was doing each day. It puts a pet parents mind at ease to know your fir baby is with someone who obviously loves animals.”
“Krysta was very generous in accepting my last minute booking request, and was wonderful with my cat, who requires insulin injections and can be a bit feisty at first with new people”
“Angela was incredibly thorough in her updates and was attentive in my pet's care. She was also flexible in scheduling and willing to assist with pet care with not much advance notice. I would definitely recommend Angela and am planning to use her services again.”
“I can't say enough about Pam. She's wonderful with our girls and I know they adore her. She earns a 100% for communication, responsibility, and for loving our girls. On our last trip, our flight got cancelled and she stepped right up by continuing to care for our girls and communicating with us each step of the way. She helped us out so much. We are truly thankful for her!”
About: I have always been a dog lover so I will give your dog the love and affection as if they are my own. Currently I work at a Doggie Daycare and boarding so I have experience with all different types of dog breeds, I am able to distinguish behavioral pattern and provide the care that is needed. I aim to please owners by providing the upmost experience without any problems. I want to ensure the trust of every owner and dog to be able to build long lasting relations. I aim to give at least 3 walks per day to make sure there aren’t any accidents. I also plan on going to dog parks to give them their play time. I will make sure to give each dog treats for good behavior. I will provide daily belly rubs and cuddles that will benefit the both of us. My goal is to leave everyone satisfied with each experience so that we may continue to work together. I currently work full time at a Doggie daycare and boarding facility, which consists of being in a room with 20+ dogs, playing& cleaning up after every dog, also monitoring the behaviors or each dog and making sure there aren’t any altercations while in my care. My daily routine consists of taking dogs on walks before my shifts and taking them after my shifts, and while I am at work my sister often lets the dogs out for potty breaks. My first thing would be to make sure the dog is comfortable in my house, I will also make sure they are comfortable with my presence. I will try my best to make sure the dog makes no messes while I’m caring for them. I will always clean up after myself and the dog.

“Danielle was so kind to accommodate us last minute for daycare. She asked plenty of questions to get familiar with my dog’s needs and was even willing to give him water from a plastic cup due to his pickiness. Looking forward to hopefully working with her again!”
“Completely trustworthy with our fur babies! Can't say enough about Felice and Ken. They truly cater to the dogs and our pups can't wait to return each week. A plus for both daycare and boarding.”
“Lingli came through for our last minute doggy daycare needs and we are grateful! She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”
“My dog had a wonderful time at Brittanie and Ryan’s. They have two lovely labs and my dog had a great time playing with them. She was tired and happy when she came home. I would definitely recommend them for doggie daycare.”
“Arly has been going to Francine's for 2 weeks now and its been Great, she seems very happy and we're very satisfied with her quick transition there. Thanks Francine for your TLC of our baby girl :)”
“As always Kiki had a super fun day at Lynn’s house! A lot of playing, snuggling and nap time with loving attention. We are looking forward to seeing them more frequently starting next month! Thank you 🙏”
“This was the first time my senior Cavalier was taken to “doggy daycare.” Susan was so wonderful with him and sent pictures mid-day to reassure me. She was very conscientious to understand any of his special needs as a senior dog. He is already scheduled to go back next week.”
“Vanessa is great and is almost always available short notice, which we appreciate so much. We feel so comfortable leaving our girl with her, we can tell she’s well loved there. We will continue to use her as long as she will let us!”

I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect.

Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.
“Esther and Yi took great care of Eevee. Eevee was a picky and slow eater but Esther ans Yi was very patient and accompanied her to finish her food. Eevee had a great time with their puppies Milk and Peanut! She can’t wait to have her next vacation in Esther and Yi’s house!”
“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”
About: I've had dogs for the past 6 years, both raised from puppies. I've dog sat for neighbors and friends which included walking, feeding, and entertaining them! I currently have an open schedule, so i'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether its daily walks, overnight stays, playtime, or sticking to your dog's normal routine, I'm available to provide reliable and attentive care. I have a fully fenced in yard with toys and plenty of space to play and run around. I have one personal dog who is very friendly and loves to meet other dogs.
“I am so happy to find Hao. She took a great care of our dog Loki and kept good communication with us. To be fully prepared and ready to take care of Loki, she even requested a meet and greet in advance. She has taken and shared a lot of photos of our Loki during the stay. She is definitely someone that you can account for taking care of your pets!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and love meeting new furbabies. I currently have three cats of my own, 12, 10, and 2 years old. I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and types (lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, sugar gliders, birds, etc.). I am currently home full-time and am available for multiple drop in visits any time of the day, or can have one small dog in my home (if cat friendly) for either boarding or doggy daycare.

“Sara did an amazing job with my Bulldog Phil. He can be a handful sometimes and she did an amazing job making sure everything went smoothly. You can tell she really cares about animals. Definitely will be using her services again!”
“Jeanette is such a blessing to me and my little guy Romeo. She took care of him for four days while I was traveling out the country. Jeanette is kind, friendly , reliable . professional, trustworthy and great with dogs. Romeo loved her immediately. Jeanette perfectly followed the care plan that I created. She left my home very clean and even was flexible to add on an extra day of care due to flight change of mine. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!”

“Jessica did a great job with Jett. She was very professional and punctual. I think Jett enjoyed his walks and was happy and relaxed afterwards. I would hire Jessica again.”
“We had a great experience with Elizabeth. She showed up exactly on time and took things slow when Charlie was a little nervous at first. Her calm, gentle approach helped him settle in quickly, and he ended up happily trotting along on their walk. Elizabeth clearly cares about dogs and knows how to make them comfortable—would absolutely book her again!”
“Jen was absolutely fantastic! As someone who has dog sat before for others, she did everything that I hoped for and more as our dog walker! Her communication was excellent - she even went above and beyond to try other messaging methods since I was out of the country while my dog was staying with my boyfriend. She sent great videos and pictures, so I knew my dog was getting great care and attention :) I would highly recommend Jen’s services to anyone!”
“Natasha is very reliable and dependable! She showed up despite other things going on because she is committed to your fur babies! She sticks to her word and is very punctual. She communicates quickly and will meet the needs of your pups. She is very friendly and managed walking my two labs who are full of energy and quite strong! I will be booking with her again in the future. Thank you”

About: I enjoy jogging and running, and I’d love to help your high energy dog get the exercise they need in a fun, healthy way. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage, from energetic puppies to seniors needing extra patience and support. I’m experienced with administering daily medication and caring for dogs with special needs, like vision loss and hip dysplasia. I’m very active, so I enjoy keeping dogs engaged with walks or runs—and I even trained my own husky to safely pull me on roller skates. I treat every dog like my own, with full attention, consistency, and lots of care. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I already look forward to getting outside after 5:30pm for walks or runs, so having a dog to join me just makes it even better. On weekends, I’m usually active and have more flexibility, which means I can spend extra time on longer walks, drop ins, and giving pets more attention. It doesn’t feel like something I have to squeeze in, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. For walks and drop ins, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection, not just the basics and out the door. I’m also mindful of keeping your home tidy and secure while you’re away. Overall, my goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and cared for, and for you to have total peace of mind.
“Destinee is thoughtful, prompt and diligent about her job. She was able to help me on very short notice and kept me informed in a way I appreciate very much. Most of all, Lilly was happy to see her and that is the thing that counts the most. I will definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, starting with my own dog, Snoopy, who was a part of my family from the time I was just a one year old until I turned 19. I have also owned a Chinese water dragon Lizard, an African sideneck turtle, and fish. Over the years, I’ve gained experience in feeding, walking, bathing, playing with, and providing care for pets. At 15, I began caring for pets beyond my own, including both cats and dogs. Animals have always been a source of joy and comfort in my life, and I truly love taking care of them, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I am currently a student at the University of South Florida. Monday-Thursday I have 2 classes, and Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays I have no classes. Each class lasts from 50 minutes to an hour and a half, so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I live in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood near campus, where I often see people out walking their dogs. Pets are welcome to relax on my bed and couches, but if you prefer otherwise, I’m happy to accommodate your preferences to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for.

“Luixha is an excellent sitter! She is very friendly and was communicative throughout the whole stay. We had lost Oakley the day before his drop off date and Luixha even helped spread the news on social media. We found him the next day and she was very understanding about the whole situation. Luixha had no problem with us dropping off Oakley later than the scheduled arrival time. She shared pictures that very same day as well as the days that followed. It was a pleasure meeting Luixha and she did an excellent job taking care of our pup. I definitely recommend Luixha and will look for her for any future pet sitting services. She is a responsible caretaker, communicates concerns quickly, and takes very good care of pets.”
