“Mady was wonderful! She welcomed Sydney in to her home and took her out for regular walks. She communicated regularly and showed great care and concern when Sydney happened to get a bee sting while outside. We plan on boarding her with Mady again!”
“A very positive experience. My Bear received highly personalized care and a happy home to live & play in. Very communicative service and professional care! Highly recommended.”
“Shuling was amazing for our Ivy. She accommodated us last minute, sent pictures throughout the day, Ivy was able to run and play in a dedicated area in the backyard, and we plan to use her again.”
“Angela was amazing! She was so kind, attentive, and kept our dog active and happy while we were away. She is a true animal lover! We really appreciated all the updates, photos, and videos, it gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again! 🐾”
“Nadia and Rachel were exceptional with our Kobe. Very detailed, had treats and toys for him, updated us, sent pics, took him on walks. We loved seeing him so cheerful in pictures and on pickup. Absolutely recommend and will call on Rachel again.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience that Star had with Eli. Eli did an amazing job taking care of Star and we will return to him every time we are in need of a sitter for our dog. Thank you Eli!”
“Michelle was so amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! She sent me a few sweet pics of my cat every day, along with a description of what he’d been up to. She went above and beyond playing with him and spending time with him, and I will definitely be booking her again!”
“I cannot thank Crystal enough for the excellent care and compassion she provided for my 18-month-old dog, Mr. Biggs, during his first-ever overnight stay away from me. I was just as anxious as he was, but she went above and beyond to ensure we both felt comfortable. He was squirming and crying when I dropped him off, but she quickly managed to calm him down after I left. Throughout the stay, she sent me pictures and videos, which really helped put my mind at ease. My dog usually refuses to eat when I’m not around, but she even got him to eat the next day! This was an amazing experience for both of us, and I’ve already booked his next stay. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby!”
“Kiki is my go to! Apollo absolutely loves her, I enjoy that she takes her time to get to know him and seems to enjoy him, I always feel safe and confident when Apollo stays with her. Thanks Kiki!!”
“Booking with Alicia was a fantastic experience! She responded quickly to my last minute request and made my pup feel right at home. She communicated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and updates. My dog has a blast and I highly recommend her!”
“Marta has become our go-to day care provider and boarder, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found her. Our dog, Miss Charlie, has stayed with Marta approximately five times now, including the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Each time, Charlie has had a fantastic experience. This last time included a wonderfully special Thanksgiving meal featuring turkey and sweet potatoes! As an overly protective dog mom, finding someone who cares for your pup as much as you do can be challenging. However, I can confidently say that Marta loves our dog just as much as we do. We have complete trust in her, and her professional-quality pictures not only keep us informed but also make us miss our pup even more—they are so cute! If you're in search of an exceptional sitter for your pup, look no further. Marta is, without a doubt, the best choice. We highly recommend her!”
“Kelly and Maurice were absolutely wonderful. They accepted my pup Khori on very short notice. Their home and neighborhood are beautiful and made for great walks and play time. Kelly made sure that I had more than enough pictures, and she is an excellent photographer! Truly thankful to have found them on Rover!”
“Carlie and her family could not have been more loving and attentive. Arlo probably wanted to live there forever. She was incredibly kind about a mistake I made on pick up time.”
“Great sitter!!! Keeps you updated throughout the day! Prompt and willing to help. We came in late from our trip and she was willing to drop our dog off later than planned. Will be utilizing her again in future.”
“I went away for the weekend and I feel like Marvin feels like he got a little weekend getaway too!! Walks, hikes, cuddles, snacks, loves. I had so many cute pictures sent to me of him settling in and enjoying his time! Would definitely recommend this couple to watch your pup, they are AMAZING!”

“We were nervous to let somebody in the house while we were gone but we had a great experience. I’m very happy with the services Hailey provided during our vacation. She took a really good care of our cat and she followed every single direction I gave her. I highly recommend her and I will hire her again for sure.”
“Jessica was really great with our shy, older cat! He is very low maintenance but she still spent lots of time giving him love and attention. I’m so happy we found Jessica and we plan to use her for our next trip!!”

“Heather went out of her way to help me make sure my cat was okay. I was 10 hours away and unable to get home to bring my cat to the vet. Heather offered to do that. Gives me peace of mind knowing that she treats my cat like one of her own.”
“Ashley did a fantastic job once again taking care of our numerous pets. Her reliability and expertise were such an asset when we had a challenging situation arise. We were so thankful for her efforts!”
About: I have had a dog of every age at some point in my life and they brought me so much joy. I no longer have pets of my own but I would love the chance to care for yours.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Crofton
“Lucie was absolutely wonderful with my dog! The photos and updates she sent showed just how happy and comfortable he was—his big smiles said it all. It’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again! Thank you so much!”
About: I have owned pets most of my life. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and many other animals. I am also great with plants. I have been pet sitting outside of Rover for many years. I have a very sweet pit mix and do not discriminate against any breed! I understand the importance of trust and communication while allowing someone to care for your pet! I will always go above and beyond to give extra love to your furry friend, not just take care of basic needs. I keep a well stocked pet cabinet and bring supplies with me for sits, drop-ins, and walks. Anxiety, tummy issues, allergies, discomfort, first aid, grooming, enrichment- you name it, I'm prepared. I've handled several medical emergencies. I take the responsibility seriously. You can trust your family member will be properly cared for in any situation. Any concerns or changes in routine will be addressed with you immediately. *If interested in boarding please note that I do have a 66 pound Pit mix. He previously lived with another dog, a cat, and two toddlers. He is very friendly with absolutely zero aggression. He will not stand up for himself. I would be happy to do a meet and greet in my home or on neutral ground. If your pet is not compatible with large male dogs, please do not request this service. Alternatively, I would be happy to pet sit or stop in for longer visits. I work from home part time with very flexible hours. I can easily fit any needed pet care into my routine. I am up and available at most hours, early morning and late at night included. I do not board more than 2 pets at a time. Though I do not personally crate, I will if it's the routine of your pet and the crate is provided. My home is equipped with baby gates and large bedrooms so I am prepared to separate without your furry friend feeling too cooped up, should the need arise. I do not have a fenced backyard. Walks will be given a minimum of 3 times a day. 4-5 walks is my normal routine, though I am happy to follow your pets cues or their routine. My neighborhood is pet friendly with walking trails and lots of shaded areas. I have a deck with a large umbrella and dog beds, perfect if your pet likes to sunbathe as mine does!
About: I’ve been around dogs as far as I can remember. I was born in Pakistan where unfortunately dogggos don’t have a good care system 😔, I’ve spent my life taking care and loving stray / rescued dogs and doing my best to make them part of a happy family. Since moving to the US 4 years back, I’ve rescued 3 fur babies from Humane society that have now become part of the family like any other member. I love taking care of all animals, from feeding to play time, watching them be happy is the most joyous thing ever!! I’m work from home full time, my wife is work from home 3 days a week. My work timings are really flexible which gives me plenty of time to spend time with the babies. I spend about 3 to 4 hours with my doggos each day, wish I could more but gotta pay those bills as well. All of our three doggos are super friendly and very playful. They love having doggos from friends over for play time. Our apartment complex has an unfenced yard for dogs to run around in and we have a dog park not 5 minutes away.
About: As a homeschooling mom, I’m home most of the day, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. I have a fenced yard and love spending time outdoors, giving dogs lots of fresh air and playtime. I am happy to stick to your pet’s schedule! As a photographer, I also love sending cute photo updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so pets get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long. Dogs enjoy regular walks in a safe, sidewalk-filled neighborhood along with playtime and a comfortable, relaxed home environment.
“Marta is wonderful! Finn had so much fun at her house and yard. She made sure that he would be compatible with the other dogs that were there and she sent me updates and lots of pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Maria is amazing! We are so grateful to have her to take care of our puppy while we are away. She stayed in close communication with us throughout our trip, sent us lots of updates, and made sure our puppy got lots of love. It's great to have the peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands with Maria. I highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was a kid. Walking, feeding, bathing, and training have all been part of the routine for over 11 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets time and again, and that trust is something I take seriously. Whether your dog needs a calm and structured walk, a bath, or just good company while you’re away, I bring the same patience and attentiveness every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I have a lot of flexibility throughout the week, so I can work around most schedules. Whether you need someone on short notice, over a weekend, or during the week, I’m generally available and happy to accommodate what works best for you and your dog. Your dog will be in a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard where they can run and play freely. I have pets of my own, so your dog will have friendly company and will be comfortable in an environment that’s already used to animals. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual temperament and make sure every pet in my care feels secure and at ease.
“Jasmine was so great with Willow! She took her to the dog park, was flexible with my schedule, and even washed Willow’s bedding when she happy peed on it. Will definitely use Jasmine in the future!”
“Alison is an amazing dog sitter. She sends me pictures throughout the day. She’s very quick and easy with communication. I fully trust her to love and take care of my fur baby”
About: I've had dogs since I was 9 years old. Friends and family rely on me to walk and feed their dogs. I love playing and caring for dogs! I mostly work from home during the week so I am able to be fully present and attentive to those I am watching during that time. I stick to a schedule based on what their owner has told me what their needs are. I like to stick to their walking and feeding routine, as well as gaining their trust so they are comfortable in my home.
About: Now we have a baby in the house ✨ I work fully from home - your pup will have company all the time! ♥️ If you ask my clients, they’ll rave about the care I give their puppies! As a former responsible nanny, I’ve transitioned to pet sitting because I truly love spending time with dogs. I grew up taking care of my own dogs, and during my time as a nanny, I also provided dog walks and boarding. With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, it’s been a lovely journey that has deepened my passion for pets. Dogs bring me so much joy, and I’ve also learned to love cats. While our beloved cat, Stinky, is no longer with us, he holds a special place in my heart. 🌈 ✨ I’m busy on Mondays, so I may not be the best fit if your pup needs constant company then. I’m available the rest of the week and would love to help!✨ When working from home, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to adapt to your dog’s needs. We’ll enjoy lovely walks around my house in a nature-filled area, have plenty of playtime, and I’ll ensure they’re fed on time with some treats if allowed! 🥰 Always following instructions of the pet parents and doing what is safe for them. I am very responsible, former nanny and pet sitter! I will keep them happy, safe and sound.
“Nick provided excellent care for Maverick while I had to attend an in-person work meeting for the day. He kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and he sent the best pictures of Maverick enjoying himself. It was clear Maverick was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. I truly appreciate the attention and care Nick provided, especially with Maverick still being a puppy. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone looking for reliable and caring puppy-watching services!”
“I had a great experience using Kiki for doggy daycare for my puppy, Emme. She sent regular photos and updates throughout the day, which really gave me peace of mind. Her home was clean, well kept, and clearly a safe environment for dogs—something I really appreciated after seeing some less-than-ideal setups elsewhere. Kiki was incredibly caring and gentle with Emme, and I loved that she was thoughtful enough to remind me to bring a sweater for her because it was cold outside. That level of attentiveness really stood out. I would absolutely trust Kiki with Emme again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and attentive dog sitter.”
About: I’ve owned dogs of all sizes and cats my entire life! I grew up in a big animal lover home so in the last I’ve fostered, love volunteering at shelters and pet sitting! I have decades of experience with animals - dogs, cats and reptiles! I’m comfortable with pets with medical needs or providing a separate space for anxious pets! My cat and dog are both good with other dogs and cats so they will love the company but if your pet needs the space, my boys are happy to stay upstairs in the large ensuite! I currently work from home full time so expect lots of cuddles, walks, play time and tons of pictures of your little one! I’m currently working at home full time with a flexible schedule so I’m able to fit in feeding several walks throughout the day, play time and plenty of cuddles! I have a shaded fenced yard and an entire home for your furbaby to explore! I have a very friendly dog and cat (both small) that love new friends and will keep your furbaby company with playtime! If your pet likes their space, my pets don’t mind staying upstairs on the 3rd floor ensuite which is the same size as downstairs! We will fit in several walks in a day in my very quiet and green neighborhood!
About: MOONWALKS ! Hey, my name is Elijah Moon, nice to meet you :) With a lifelong passion for dogs, I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and have worked professionally at Camp Bow Wow, where I handled and supervised up to 50 dogs at a time, as well as volunteering at local animal shelters. I provide reliable, loving care and intentionally limit daycare to a maximum of four dogs at a time, to ensure each dog receives plenty of attention and supervision. For safety and quality care, boarding is limited to one dog at a time, with an exception for two dogs from the same household. If you have any questions or want to see if we’re a good fit, send me a message anytime. My daily schedule runs from 8 AM to 4 PM and includes a balance of play, rest, and structure. Dogs enjoy two scheduled walks at 10 AM and 3 PM, with plenty of supervised playtime throughout the day. A rest/quiet period is from 1–2 PM to help dogs recharge, and mealtime can be accommodated around 12 PM if food is provided. I care for pets with a calm, structured approach tailored to each service. In my home, I have two separate gated areas that allow dogs to be kept safely apart if needed, ensuring comfort, reduced stress, and controlled interactions. The spaces are fully separated so dogs do not see each other, and there is plenty of room for rest and movement. I’m always happy to provide photos of these areas to owners for transparency and peace of mind. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific instructions. Mainly to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. My goal is to provide safe, attentive, one-on-one care in every setting.
About: Richard has had many dogs his whole life and loves for them to be happy. Richard has always done well with animals and wants to provide comfort in a new environment. Richard also has prior experience helping other Rover providers from living with roomates so he is used to taking care of dogs of all types and sizes. Anny has started taking of our toy poodle Katsumi since March 2024 and grew up with a family cat. She has experience taking care of a variety of different pets since starting Rover. Anny is a very loving person and loves to play and take care of dogs. Anny is a stay at home wife who wants to spend her free time at home. She is always concerned to make sure everyone has enough water and is taken care of. We typically wake up early in the morning everyday and will feed the pets and let them go potty first thing. Richard goes to work early in the morning while Anny stays home to take care of the pets. Richard is usually back early in the afternoon and we will both be home to take care of the pets together as a team. We prefer pickup and drop off times to be in the afternoon after 3:30 pm if possible. We have a first floor space where the guest pets stay. There is also a play pen area full of blankets for dogs to lounge and play in if desired. The play pen and blankets are washed between each guest we receive. We try to make the play pen as fun as possible so feel free to bring toys. We can provide dog training pads as well. We are careful to make sure the dog will not run away outside and that the cat stays inside. We can accept or provide pet furniture such as dog beds, toys, bowls, food. Bringing your own food and treats is highly encouraged to maintain the same healthy diet. We want to make friends with your pets. Anything you need and we will do our best to help. We have a toy poodle that spends most of her time upstairs or in the kitchen. She is up-to-date with all vaccines. Because she is very small, she doesn't usually interact with the guest dogs unless we ensure they are compatable. If they are compatable, we are happy to let them play together while supervised.
“Michele was excellent with your dog, Mila. Mila is not very outgoing, but she she quickly got comfortable with Michele. Michele is very attentive and calm which put our minds at ease. She provided regular updates and pictures. I would certainly go to her again.”
About: I’m a proud dog parent to Moonie, my very smart 3 year old Maltipoo, and I also live with a 4 year old Pomeranian — so yes, my house is basically dog approved. I love walks, dog parks, treats, and teaching Moonie new tricks. I’ll treat your pup like family, with lots of love, patience, and probably a few compliments ❤️🥰💕 I work in the office some days, but I’m mostly remote and home with the pups. There’s always time for potty breaks, playtime, little backyard zoomies, and cuddle breaks.. so basically, the dogs have a better schedule than we do 😂 I live in a townhouse with a small backyard — perfect for quick potty breaks or a little zoomies session. My neighborhood is safe and great for walks. I always clean paws after potty breaks, keep fresh pee pads available and changed daily, and yes… dogs are allowed on the furniture.

Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I understand the importance of consistency and reliability when it comes to looking after pets. On a daily basis, I allocate specific time slots for feeding, exercise, and playtime with the dogs under my care. This ensures that they receive regular meals, get ample exercise to maintain their physical and mental well-being, and have plenty of interactive and stimulating activities to keep them engaged. I also prioritize regular walks to provide them with fresh air and opportunities for socialization. Additionally, I integrate grooming and hygiene practices into their routine, such as brushing their coats, trimming nails, and cleaning their ears and teeth as required. I make sure to stay updated on any specific instructions or preferences from pet owners, such as dietary restrictions or medication schedules, and incorporate them into the daily care routine. Overall, pet care is not just a task for me; it's a dedicated commitment that I fulfill diligently and with utmost care and attention. When caring for pets in my home, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for them. I ensure that the area where they stay is clean, well-maintained, and free from any potential hazards. I provide them with a cozy bed, fresh water, and appropriate toys for playtime and mental stimulation. Regular exercise and walks are incorporated into their daily routine, and I make sure they receive a balanced diet according to their specific dietary needs. If there are any medications or special treatments required, I administer them on time and with proper care. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining a familiar and consistent environment for them. I follow the pet owner's instructions and routines closely to minimize any disruptions to the pet's daily life. I ensure that their feeding, exercise, and medication schedules are adhered to strictly. Additionally, I pay attention to their comfort and emotional well-being, providing them with ample attention, affection, and companionship. In both cases, I maintain open and transparent communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured about their pet's well-being. I make it a point to be responsive to any specific requests or concerns they may have, ensuring that their pets receive the highest quality care and attention, whether in my home or theirs.

Whether it’s walks, feeding, play sessions, or companionship, I enjoy creating a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. When caring for dogs in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, comfort, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine. I begin by learning about their schedule, preferences, and specific needs to ensure personalized care. I provide regular exercise, enrichment, affection, and follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully. Throughout each stay, I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always feel connected and reassured. Now that it is summer I am free mostly all of the time! I have a few vacations, and possibly other things that may come up but I will always make sure my schedule is clear! At home I let my dogs out every 2-3 hours, I feed them at the same time everyday, and make sure they have plenty of exercise! I really enjoy playing with my dogs at home as well, weather thats running around out back, playing tug-of-war, or even just going on a walk! Overall my favorite time of day with my dogs at home is bed time, my puppies sleep with me every night!
“My pittie loves Lucie. He looks forward to their daily walks. Lucie has been such a godsend walking him daily as I cannot walk him right now due to my health. She is punctual, friendly, observant and very flexible. We really enjoy having her as our pet walker.”
“Taryn was prompt in responding to my request to walk my dog Leo and went over and beyond what was expected of her while walking him. She changed his water after walking him (voluntarily) and left detailed reports for each day she walked him. Thank you Taryn!”
“Mike was very accommodating for a last-minute walk. He came over and got to meet. Coco asked some good questions before taking her for a walk. She was really happy to meet him and she was really happy when she returned from her walk so I know she had a good time. Mike was very respectful to me and my property. I will definitely be using him again!”
About: I grew up with several dogs living in CT. Over the last eight years in MD I have offered to pet sit and walk or let out neighbors dogs building clientele. A dog to me is more than a pet its a loving companion, its therapy! Nobody else gives you unconditional love like a dog everyday you come home. I'm currently working remotely, which gives me the freedom to stay at the house all day and to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well taken care of. I like to stay at the client's home to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment and so they can stay in their routine.
About: I have had a dog of every age at some point in my life and they brought me so much joy. I no longer have pets of my own but I would love the chance to care for yours. I am not currently in school so I will have plenty of time to give your pets (or pets) all the love and attention needed. I have a small fenced yard if the service will be done in my home, and will follow the pet parents routine if the service is at your home.
About: I have watched dogs and cats for the past 2 years. I’ve always loved animals and bonding with them! I love dog walking and playing with dogs outside to make them happy. I am very good with caring for dogs and making them feel loved! I am not working another job but I do have practice most nights during the week. However, during the day I will always be around unless I am at the gym or running an errand! I have a fenced yard and 2 very friendly dogs. I take them out every 3 hours and keep a routine schedule of when to feed them. Any dog is able to sleep in my room and bed if they would like.
About: I've been caring for dogs of all sizes around the multiple states I've lived in for just over half a decade. Also have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and am comfortable giving meds to dogs as well as consistently giving walks to all dogs. Animals are my passion and I am even in school right now for animal based fields Currently job searching so I have all the time in the world to care for both my shih tzu and any other animals that may be included in my house at any given time. I will be able to easily walk and play with dogs of all sizes and ages I do have an apartment, however there is tons of safe and surveilled space to walk dogs and they will easily be able to go on mile+ walks if need be. My dog is another member of the family and I do mean that literally. She is treated as such and even eats at the same time as us (when she feels like it) and your dog will be treated no different than her as all pets deserve the best.
“Rachel was excellent with our senior dog (Bentley). She took on the assignment at the very last minute due to our original Walker coming down with an illness. Ulthough a last minute request, Rachel came over the night before to make sure she met Bentley and to introduce herself to us. We explained our walking and feeding processes to her, and she was very accepting to the routine. While we were on our trip, Rachel sent us numerous pictures of Bentley either at home or on his walk. She kept us well updated on his activities. Unfortunately, while we were gone, he did have some accidents in the house, and Rachel cleaned them up and took care of making sure that everything was disposed to properly and that the rags used to clean up the mess were washed. Wonderful customer service. We would not hesitate to use Rachel again, as well as recommend her to any of our friends.”
About: I’ve been around dogs as far as I can remember.

Since moving to the US 4 years back, I’ve rescued 3 fur babies from Humane society that have now become part of the family like any other member. I love taking care of all animals, from feeding to play time, watching them be happy is the most joyous thing ever!! I’m work from home full time, my wife is work from home 3 days a week. My work timings are really flexible which gives me plenty of time to spend time with the babies. I spend about 3 to 4 hours with my doggos each day, wish I could more but gotta pay those bills as well. All of our three doggos are super friendly and very playful. They love having doggos from friends over for play time. Our apartment complex has an unfenced yard for dogs to run around in and we have a dog park not 5 minutes away.

I have pets of my own, so your dog will have friendly company and will be comfortable in an environment that’s already used to animals. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual temperament and make sure every pet in my care feels secure and at ease.
About: With over 10 years of experience in dog care and as a proud owner of two lovable pups, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for ensuring dogs are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. From daily walks and playtime to specialized care and attention, I’ve got it covered! Integrating pet sitting into my weekly routine can be seamless and rewarding. Whether it's scheduling walks, playtime, or feeding, I can easily fit these tasks around my daily activities. Plus, the companionship and joy from spending time with pets can be a great stress reliever and a fun way to stay active! Caring for dogs in either my home or a client's home involves ensuring their safety and comfort. I start with an initial meeting to understand the dog's routine and needs. I maintain a safe environment and follow the specific feeding schedule and dietary requirements provided by the owner. Regular walks and playtime are essential to keep the dog active and happy. I make sure the dog feels at home by providing familiar toys, bedding, and lots of affection. Monitoring the dog's health and administering any necessary medications are also crucial. Throughout the stay, I keep the owner updated with regular messages and photos, ensuring peace of mind.
About: I’ve always been around animals—I currently have a dog and three cats, so I’m used to daily care, feeding, and handling different personalities. I’ve also helped take care of my mom’s and brother’s pets over the years, so I’m comfortable stepping into someone else’s routine and making sure their animals are taken care of the right way. I’m patient, reliable, and I actually pay attention to details like feeding schedules, behavior, and making sure pets feel comfortable while you’re away. My schedule is pretty consistent, so I can plan around your pet’s needs. I’m available most days and can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on what’s needed. I already take care of my own pets daily, so feeding, walks, and check-ins are part of my routine. I’m flexible and good with sticking to whatever schedule your pet is used to. I treat other people’s pets the same way I treat my own. I pay attention to routines, feeding instructions, and behavior so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free. I have experience with multiple animals at once, including my own dog and cats, so I’m used to different personalities and energy levels. I keep a clean, safe environment and can follow any specific instructions you have, including crating if needed.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for a few years and have grown to love it! I recently worked at a dog day care so I have lots of experience with dogs and giving medications. I also have some vet experience too! I’m currently in college part-time but living at home. Outside of schooling I’m available in the afternoons and weekends. During the summer I have full availability. I provide a safe and caring environment for all pets. I make sure they have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention. I follow the owner’s feeding and care instructions closely and keep pets supervised to ensure they stay happy, comfortable, and safe.
About: I love all kinds of animals!! I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I used to walk my neighbors dogs all throughout high school and college. I currently have a 10 month old puppy who I have given lots of training to! I have undergone a routine of caring for my own dog, with walking multiple times a day, playing with a bunch of toys, and making her entertained. I am open to caring for other pets and giving them the love I give my own dog. I work in the restaurant business so I have a good amount of free time! If interested in boarding or visits to my home, I have my own dog that is very friendly and would love a playful companion! She loved to get her energy out on long walks and playing fetch. I live in safe area with a lot of nearby parks and routes to walk.
About: I’m currently a college student at St. Mary’s College of Maryland but I’ve always had a dog growing up. Additionally I’ve also had hamsters and fish. I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family since I was a teenager. I’ve also used my art background to draw pet portraits for various people! So, I am very comfortable being with dogs of all sizes. Walking them, feeding them, crate/potty training, and of course playing with them! Further more, I’ve worked as a kids art camp counselor for many summers through Abrakadoodle art camps. And while no dogs were on premises (most of the time) I was in charge of keeping kids safe and engaged. I fully understand that animals are family and deserve someone trustworthy to look after them. In the summer I have an internship at the Maryland Anxiety Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays that I will leave early in the morning for and not get back until after 2pm Otherwise I am fully free Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As my only other obligation is an online class! If housesitting is needed I would make absolute sure that nothing gets disrupted and that your pets are on track with their daily routines. I’ve housesat for neighbors before and I understand that an extra level of care is required for the animals overnight. Whether that means making sure they’ve gotten excessive for the day or whether they’ve been given a treat before bed.
“Hailey did a terrrific job walking Sulley! She even went above and beyond and took Sulley for a jog and he was worn out and so well behaved for me when I returned from work!”
About: As a homeschooling mom, I’m home most of the day, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. I have a fenced yard and love spending time outdoors, giving dogs lots of fresh air and playtime. I am happy to stick to your pet’s schedule! As a photographer, I also love sending cute photo updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so pets get plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long. Dogs enjoy regular walks in a safe, sidewalk-filled neighborhood along with playtime and a comfortable, relaxed home environment.

“Mady was wonderful! She welcomed Sydney in to her home and took her out for regular walks. She communicated regularly and showed great care and concern when Sydney happened to get a bee sting while outside. We plan on boarding her with Mady again!”
“A very positive experience. My Bear received highly personalized care and a happy home to live & play in. Very communicative service and professional care! Highly recommended.”
“Michelle was so amazing, and I can’t recommend her enough! She sent me a few sweet pics of my cat every day, along with a description of what he’d been up to. She went above and beyond playing with him and spending time with him, and I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Kiki is my go to! Apollo absolutely loves her, I enjoy that she takes her time to get to know him and seems to enjoy him, I always feel safe and confident when Apollo stays with her. Thanks Kiki!!”
“Marta has become our go-to day care provider and boarder, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found her. Our dog, Miss Charlie, has stayed with Marta approximately five times now, including the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Each time, Charlie has had a fantastic experience. This last time included a wonderfully special Thanksgiving meal featuring turkey and sweet potatoes! As an overly protective dog mom, finding someone who cares for your pup as much as you do can be challenging. However, I can confidently say that Marta loves our dog just as much as we do. We have complete trust in her, and her professional-quality pictures not only keep us informed but also make us miss our pup even more—they are so cute! If you're in search of an exceptional sitter for your pup, look no further. Marta is, without a doubt, the best choice. We highly recommend her!”
“Carlie and her family could not have been more loving and attentive. Arlo probably wanted to live there forever. She was incredibly kind about a mistake I made on pick up time.”
“Great sitter!!! Keeps you updated throughout the day! Prompt and willing to help. We came in late from our trip and she was willing to drop our dog off later than planned. Will be utilizing her again in future.”
About: Hi! I’m Julia 😊☀️ For as long as I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by dogs. Growing up, I had all kinds—from dachshunds and pit bulls to Australian Shepherds and lovable mutts—and I’ve fallen in love with each and every one. I’ve previously worked at a veterinary hospital as well as a pet boarding facility, gaining hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’m now a stay-at-home mom to two beautiful, animal-loving girls who may occasionally join me. I truly believe dogs are best friends and should be treated as such. You can trust that I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I’m at home every day with my two daughters so I have a wide open schedule. I took a 3 year break from rover to raise my babies and now I’m looking to get back to dog walking! I have a lot of availability and love to be outdoors- rain or shine. I live on a 6 acre farm that has some areas fenced and lots of room for my 2 dogs to run and explore. I love to let any dogs that I watch get out some energy by running and getting to sniff & explore everything in sight.
“Brittany and Shane were wonderful with Finch. They were attentive to her needs. They were quick to give me updates. Finch clearly enjoyed them, because I got pics of her snuggling in their laps. Would definitely book again.”
“Tiffany is absolutely amazing! Drexel has loved spending time with her family and gives her hugs and kisses when he leaves. She sent me many detailed updates and photos and even gave him a bath. She was also able to extend our boarding time when our trip was extended. I really appreciate her kindness, flexibility, and 100% trust he with the care of Drexel!”
“I am so happy I found Donna. Donna is amazing! She treated my fur baby Pixie as if she was her own. Donna kept me up to date daily with pictures and videos. I can tell Pixie was so happy with Donna. She is genuine and has great energy. She is a dog lover! This is my first time using the rover app. Pixie looked so sad driving home leaving Donna. I look forward to many more stays for Pixie with Donna. Thank you so much, words cannot express how appreciative I am, you took such great care of Pixie. 🫶🫶🫶”
“Sari did an amazing job with Rusty! From the drop off I could tell she was incredibly attentive to his needs and getting him comfortable in her home. She did an excellent job keeping us updated throughout his stay. If your dog loves long walks, you MUST book Sari. She said over his 4 day stay, she walked him at least 18 miles. He came back happy and relaxed.”
“Remunalila was absolutely amazing with our dog Boston. We booked with her from March 27th to March 30th and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Communication was easy and consistent the entire time. She kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Boston was being treated like family. He looked comfortable, happy, and well cared for the whole time. When we met her in person, she was very kind and welcoming, and we also met her husband Will, who was just as great and very sweet with Boston. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We also really appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was. When we needed to book again, she was open and made the process easy for us. Overall, just really great people and an even better experience. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog.”
“Charve didn’t have many reviews but she automatically proved that she’s super experienced with dogs! She was flexible with the plans as I prepared for my travel. She greeted my dog with love, sent pictures, and even prepared some pumpkin for her to soothe her anxious bowels. She sent updates and was super attentive! 10/10 I’d book again”
“Junior had a great time with Michele, he was really well looked after and we appreciated the updates and photos. We felt completely relaxed knowing he was safe and sound and happy while we were on our trip.”
“I am absolutely and positively grateful that we found Alison and Brian (and Megatron!) Woof!!! Cash was loved like he belonged to their family; when he didn't eat his food (which happens anytime he's away from home) Alison reached our to me, and offered alternatives. Thank you so much for taking care of Cash and for your brave service to our country! Looking forward to having you look after our fur boy again soon :-) xoxoxo”
