“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“Renee was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! You can tell how much she loves dogs and how connected to them she is. She was communicative leading up to the stay and gave a lot of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. It was such a peace of mind knowing our dog was in good care and having a great time in Renee’s care. Highly recommend her!”
“Ellen! You have done it again. Thank you so much for taking care of our pups. I love when Maya just doesn’t want to leave because she loves the farm. That’s how much they love you. THANKS!”
“Words cannot express my satisfaction having Annette look after Axel. Learning of her experience with fosters it was a no brainer to book with her. My experience dropping off and picking up, seeing her interact with my boy and hearing how she handled situations with him, solidified she will be my go to sitter. It was wonderful peace of mind to know Axel would be taken care of in a lovely home environment.”
“Yvi and Christians hospitality was amazing. They were incredibly dependable and made sure my dog felt secure and cared for while I was gone. It was clear they truly enjoy their work, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pet was in such capable hands. I'll definitely be booking with them again!"”
“Rachel and Jason were wonderful with our new puppy. It was our first time leaving her overnight, and the videos and pictures were very reassuring. I know she was loved and well taken care of!”
“Jennifer went above and beyond in every aspect possible. When you try out a new app like Rover, it can be very scary to entrust your baby with someone. Even once you find someone who seems to click with your puppy, you just help they at least feed them, but thankfully, I hit the jackpot! Jennifer was not just a care giver, she loved my Roxie, and I was a bit surprised my dog was happy to see me since she had such a wonderful time with Jennifer. I was sent several updates daily. She a godsend!!! We will be using Jennifer again next month. If you are looking for a genuine and caring person, you need to look no further.”
“Zeke had a great time at Samantha’s. She gave us constant updates. She took special care of Zeke as he has some hip issues. I glad I found her and would definitely use her services in the future.”
“First time using this app and ever having anyone watch our dog overnight and couldn’t have been more satisfied. She took amazing care of our dog and always updated with pictures he definitely looked like a happy boy while we were gone would recommend to anyone and will definitely use again if ever needed thank you so much”
“Olivia took great care of Mocha and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was kind, reliable, and clearly cared about him. I really appreciated the peace of mind and would definitely recommend her.”
“Michelle was AMAZING with my little girl! I felt completely at ease being away because she truly put her heart and soul into the visit. Will definitely be bringing my girl back for another stay as she had SO much fun and received SO much love!”
“Ruth and Agnes took such great care of my Mochi! They sent many pictures and updates of Mochi while I was away and I felt so at ease leaving her there. They were able to give her medicine with no issues as well. Mochi is very spoiled and particular at home and they were able to accommodate all my instructions for feeding and care. Mochi loves it there and gets so excited to go. I highly recommend booking Ruth for any pet care needs.”
“Dorian did a great job taking care of my fur baby. My dog is an older dachshund who is still energetic so I worry about him with sitters, but Dorian put my mind at ease by communicating with me well. From what I was told Obi had a great time playing with kids and taking lots of breaks that may or may not have included some mud baths lol. Thank you Dorian.”
“Nina had a great stay with Rene during Thanksgiving. Rene is very caring and Nina feels right at home with her. We are so pleased that Nina can receive lots of love and care when we have to be out of town.”
“My Golden had a wonderful 2 week stay with Karen. She sent videos and pictures everyday. Her whole family is so sweet and she has a beautiful property! Will definitely use her in the future.”
“The dogs had a wonderful time with Kacy. Kacy sent videos and pics of our puppies keeping us up to date the entire time. Communication is great and her and her husband are super nice. Will def. come back :):)”
“Nat &Ally are amazing, this is by far the best Rover service that I ever had and I have been using Rovers for more than 3 years. They are very attentive, they do a meeting before the drop off day, they truly want to make sure my furbaby will feel welcome and safe. They asked all the right questions, food, timing, snacks, what is he allowed or not to do and so on. They have a backyard which is great for my chocolate lab to play and they have a playful dog that was perfect for Rocco. We even got a drawing from Rocco, from one of the kids, that made me cry…Happy cry! They are all super sweet. Love their vibe and respect. I recommend them 100%. I would be looking forward to work with them more often.”
“Min and Matt were a last minute booking, but they worked out so well. I was even able to stay an extra day on my vacation while they kept my pup. They made sure to walk and play with him multiple times a day. He was very well cared for and smiled his time at their house. I would highly recommend using them in the future.”
“Marieliz was great with Samson. I received regular updates, photos, and videos. Was great to see how he was adjusting while I was away. Turns out he felt instantly at home and settled in great. Would highly recommend Marieliz, and would love to have Samson stay with her again.”

“Rose was a pleasure to work with. She was fast to respond to my initial inquiry and a pleasure to work with. It was nice to know my fur baby was being taken care of by such a special person. Thanks again!”
“I will definitely be rebooking with Tracy. She was on professional , took great care of my cats and most importantly my cats were drawn to her energy 💓 which is always a good sign. especially my little one! 😸”
“Shelby was such a pleasure to work with on short notice. She took excellent care of my boys and even got my scaredy cat to come out of hiding. Highly recommend and would definitely work with her again!”
“Dominique was amazing with my 2 cats during all her visits! She responded quickly to messages and went above and beyond to care for my pets. I definitely recommend Dominique to anyone!”
“Connie took wonderful care of our animal family- her updates were so helpful and cheerful. She takes great photos. She was also very accommodating and responsive with changes in our travel itinerary and really saved the day for us by noticing a gap in our coverage. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Sarah watched our pets for 5 days. She was professional, consistently on time for each visit, and took good care of our pets. We greatly appreciated the photos and updates that she sent us with each visit. She relieved much of the the stress of being away from our babies. Thank you 😊”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, as well as a few cats, for years in a more casual setting. I usually sit for friends, family friends, and neighbors, usually through check-ins, and only a few times with boarding in my own home. I have two dogs of my own, ages 5 and 9mo who were both raised from puppies, so I have basic puppy training and grooming skills. I also have experience with dogs who need regular medication or who have specialized/specific diets. I am open to caring for any pets except birds, special needs/sensitive reptiles, and insects. I am currently a student at Penn State and I am looking for summer job in my hometown. I would most likely be free at almost any time during the week and would be open to over night stays as well with prior notice. I would be open to set a meeting with you and your pet before house sitting or check-in dates to discuss schedules and specifics as well as to meet your pet. I am currently unable to sit at my own house. My contact info will be provided and I will be available for call at all points during my care for your pet.
“We booked Sara to drop in to feed our cats while we were away for a few days. She was great about checking in on time and communicating any concerns she had with us. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats were well cared for while we were away!”
About: I am a dependable and experienced cat sitter serving the Frederick and Walkersville, Maryland area. I bring over 30 years of professional experience in training, leadership development, and organizational support, where reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication were essential. These same qualities define how I care for cats and respect my clients’ homes. My career involved extensive travel, which gave me a deep appreciation for how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets and home while you’re away. Having relied on friends and professional services to look after my own property, I understand the peace of mind cat owners need—and I take that responsibility seriously. I have lifelong experience with cats. Growing up with my three brothers, our home always included animals, with cats being a central part of our family. We often had up to three cats at a time, representing a variety of breeds. In fact, my family raised Persian cats for sale, which meant hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages—from young kittens to senior cats. This included feeding routines, grooming, litter care, and monitoring health and behavior. Alongside cats, I’ve also cared for dogs, a parakeet, a turtle, hamsters, and goldfish, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animal care and behavior. My background has taught me that cats thrive on consistency, calm environments, and attentive observation—especially when their owners are away. At 55 and newly retired, I’m active, energetic, and excited to spend time doing what I love. I live in the Walkersville area and maintain an active lifestyle, currently training for another triathlon. My schedule allows me to be flexible, attentive, and fully present for the cats I care for. My Cat Sitting Services Include: Personalized in-home cat care Feeding, litter box maintenance, and fresh water Playtime, companionship, and routine monitoring Medication administration (if required) Clear communication and updates while you’re away Respectful and reliable house care during visits I treat every cat as an individual and every home with care and respect. Whether you’re traveling for business or vacation, you can feel confident knowing your cat is in experienced, calm, and caring hands.
“This was my first time using the Rover app, and I am very surprised how Emily was very cooperative and I loved how she sent photos every day and she was a very kind and she listened to the instructions for my cat and in general she was just very friendly.”
“This was the first time I had booked Lauren to pet sit for me, and I would certainly use her again. She was very friendly when I first met her in person and I could tell that she was an animal lover. She was so nice, that in addition to making her daily trips to feed and water Sinbad, but she also watered some potted landscape plants for me that I bought right before my trip which had not planted in the ground. Both Sinbad and the plants were in very good condition when I returned home.”
“Jess was wonderful with my little Aussie — she was patient when taking her for a walk and made sure she could romp around our yard, but also made sure her paws were clean when she came in. She also made sure to check in on our other animals to make sure everyone had what they needed. Looking forward to continuing to work with Jess.”
About: I’ve dog sat for a few family friends and absolutely loved it! I love animals (especially dogs) and would be happy to care for your doggo. I currently work part time but I set my own hours! So evenings or early mornings could definitely work out for me. I also am a college student starting back up in the fall semester of 2025 but my schedule is very flexible. I don’t think I would be able to care for your pets in my current living situation but would be happy to come to you when needed! I love walking and I’d be thrilled to bring a friend along with me (your dog).

“We were so lucky to have Ellen watch our dog, Ziva! She has separation anxiety, and we were nervous about leaving her with someone new in a new environment. Ellen was so reassuring from the start, promising to take good care of her. And she absolutely did. Her sweet dog, Cleopatra, was so friendly and helped Ziva feel comfortable right away. Our first impression was unforgettable- Ziva followed Ellen, which is rare for her with someone she doesn’t know. Ellen took extra care to comfort Ziva when she was anxious and sent us picture updates that really put our minds at ease. Because of Ellen, we were able to enjoy our event without constantly checking our phones. This was such a relief, especially since we’ve had a bad experience with a previous sitter who never sent updates. Ellen went above and beyond, and we could truly feel the difference in Ziva’s comfort. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ellen, for caring for Ziva like she was your own!”
“I needed a place to take my three little dogs during my open houses. I found Robin on Rover and am so happy I did! She and her two boys hosted my dogs so well. It was the best play date for them! They loved them like they were their own. I wish I had found Robin and her boys sooner!”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels — from playful young labs and doodles to senior dogs and cats needing extra patience and attention. I’m naturally calm and gentle, but I also love matching a pet’s energy through play, walks, and engagement. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Since I’m home from college for the summer, I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to fully focus on pet care. I’m able to provide pets with lots of attention, companionship, exercise, and regular updates for owners throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship while adapting to each pet’s personality and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos for owners while they’re away.
“Rene has been amazing for my dog, Bentley! She has been keeping Bentley during the day for doggy day care and he always comes home exhausted which makes me a happy mommy because it means he has had a busy day! I would definitely recommend rene!”
“Rebecca's has been wonderful with our Baby Girl. I have never left Baby Girl with anyone due to her high level of separation anxiety but we are in Maryland for my husband's 50th High School Reunion so we didn't have a choice. I'm so glad that I chose Rebecca because she has been amazing. Baby Girl has had a good time at her house and went with Rebecca willingly Friday (her first day in doggy day care) which I knew Baby Girl sensed that Rebecca loved dogs and that she was safe with her sitter. Thank you Rebecca for putting us at ease and knowing that our fur baby is in good hands! I would highly recommend Rebecca and if the opportunity arises to book with Rebecca again we definitely will!”
“Our puppy loves spending time with Ben and Alexa! Their farm is perfect for allowing her to run out energy and get used to a variety of animals - horses, chickens, etc. Honestly, we're jealous of the time she gets to spend there! Ben and Alexa clearly love her as much as we do, and treat her like family. They send lots of photos so I always know what she's up to. She comes home completely exhausted :) We'll absolutely continue to book stays with them and highly recommend them for anyone else looking for wonderful, caring sitters!”

“My girl Ozzy had a great time with Rachel and her poodles. She made her feel welcom and Ozzy quickly settled in with everyone. She was flexible with my schedule and even watched her an extra hour when my event ran over. I am greatful Rachel was available on short notice and would happily book with her again.”

About: Greetings! I am an experienced dog owner and pet sitter, and recently just lost my wonderful lab of 14.5 years. I'm experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, and everything in between, including any dog size petite to massive! I can administer medicine as well. We have a home about 4 blocks from Baker Park in a quiet neighborhood that is good for walks, and we have a fully fenced in backyard as well. I work from home M-F 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. Occasionally I may step out for dinner with my wife or friends. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. My schedule is fairly flexible during working hours, so I can take our furry friend out for many breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that's good for walking as well, with parks close by. We love dogs, small to large, and would be happy to host yours.
“Kelli was able to get me in last minute to watch my Grandpuppy while my daughter was on vacation. She was amazing and the puppy was exhausted when she got home. I received pictures from her all day and updates.”
About: I grew up with big breads and little breads, I have always had a dog. I love being able to run, walk and play with them! Our family dog passed a few years back and I haven’t had the heart yet to adopt a new member into my family, however being able to help others with their fur family, I think would help me with feeling that love again! I work from home in a super dog-friendly community with lots of walking paths and big open fields to explore. I love being outside soaking up the sunshine, going on long walks, and adventuring through nature—especially with a happy pup by my side! 🐾 I live in a spacious townhome with plenty of room to run and play. Our neighborhood has great walking paths and large open fields to explore and enjoy! We’re a non-smoking household and don’t have small children. My preteen daughter has always loved having dogs around, and our home is very pet-friendly. Our furniture is pet-friendly too, and we love when friends bring their dogs over to hang out!
“Sandra is so kind and amazing!! Her yard is amazing and she sent photo updates which made me feel at ease because this was my first time at a dog day care. My two dogs were able to socialize not only with the other dogs under her care but also her sweet children, so it was super great ! I highly recommend her!”

I’ve often relied on friends and professional services to look after my own property, so I understand the peace of mind pet owners are seeking—and I take that responsibility seriously. My wife and I, along with our two children, are longtime animal lovers. We currently care for a part-time “loaner dog” named Tobi, who stays with us while my mother-in-law travels. Growing up with my three brothers, our household was always full of pets, including dogs, a parakeet, a turtle, hamsters, goldfish, and Persian cats that my mother bred and raised. This lifelong exposure has made me comfortable caring for a wide range of animals and following specific routines and instructions. At 55 and newly retired, I’m active, energetic, and excited to dedicate time to passions I couldn’t fully explore while working full-time and raising a family. I live a very active lifestyle—currently training for another triathlon—and I enjoy staying engaged, dependable, and helpful in my community. As your pet and house sitter, I provide: Attentive, compassionate pet care tailored to your pet’s routine Reliable house sitting, including mail collection and light household oversight Clear communication and regular updates while you’re away Respect for your home, privacy, and detailed instructions I treat every home and pet as if they were my own.

At 55 and newly retired, I’m active, energetic, and excited to dedicate time to passions I couldn’t fully explore while working full-time and raising a family. I live a very active lifestyle—currently training for another triathlon—and I enjoy staying engaged, dependable, and helpful in my community. My schedule is very open with my wife still working (a teacher), and my kids both grown. I provide pet care with the same level of professionalism, responsibility, and attention to detail that I brought to my 30+ year career in training, leadership development, and organizational support. I am a reliable and caring pet and house sitter serving the Frederick and Walkersville, Maryland area, and I understand that caring for someone’s pet also means caring for their home and routines. When caring for pets—whether in my home or in a client’s home—I start by learning each pet’s individual needs, habits, and preferences. I closely follow all instructions related to feeding schedules, exercise, litter or potty routines, medication, and any special care requirements. I believe consistency is key to helping pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and care, maintaining routines and ensuring the environment remains calm, clean, and safe. I monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate proactively if anything seems out of the ordinary. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. If pets are cared for in my home, they are welcomed into a calm, structured environment with close supervision, appropriate activity, and plenty of attention. Safety, cleanliness, and comfort are always priorities. Above all, I care for every pet as if they were my own. Trust is at the core of what I do, and pet owners can rely on me to be attentive, communicative, and dependable ensuring their pets and homes are well cared for at all times.
“Dominique was a fantastic sitter and responded quickly to my request on short notice. My dog warmed up to her immediately so I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. My fur baby had the runs and she communicated often and was very understanding. I would definitely refer her and book Dominique again.”
“Nancy is fantastic. She takes my dog for a walk multiple times a week. She's very reliable and gives me feedback on my pet after each walk. She's on time and keeps my mind at ease to focus on work when I'm at work. Nancy and my dog really seem to enjoy their time together each day. I would definitely recommend Nancy to anyone needing a kind and responsible person to care for their pet.”
“Jessie has been wonderful with our pup Sadie. She is a great communicator and texts updates if there are any changes to the schedule. It’s fun to see all the pictures she adds to the daily report. We appreciate all she does for Sadie.”
About: My experience and education ensures the safety of animals of varying temperament levels and backgrounds by using different approved methods of training and mental enrichment activities (please inquire for more detail). I adapt quickly and enjoy creating new games or activities. My schedule changes frequently and sometimes at the last minute. I often accept requests up to 3 months ahead of time. If needed, I'm able to respond to last minute requests. I anticipate and meet the needs of animals by observing their breathing, posture, and behavior. Typical care includes but is not limited to: diet, exercise, medication management, obedience training and general housekeeping.
“I was nervous getting a dog walker at first. As someone who had been in the petcare industry myself for 10+ years ,you see the good and the bad. But Connie is the most reassuring and animal loving person I have met in this area. Our puppy Brooklyn loves her. She makes sure our puppy gets lots of attention. I greatly appreciate everything she has done.”

It was clear they truly enjoy their work, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pet was in such capable hands. I'll definitely be booking with them again!"”
“Jennifer went above and beyond in every aspect possible. When you try out a new app like Rover, it can be very scary to entrust your baby with someone. Even once you find someone who seems to click with your puppy, you just help they at least feed them, but thankfully, I hit the jackpot! Jennifer was not just a care giver, she loved my Roxie, and I was a bit surprised my dog was happy to see me since she had such a wonderful time with Jennifer. I was sent several updates daily. She a godsend!!! We will be using Jennifer again next month. If you are looking for a genuine and caring person, you need to look no further.”
“Zeke had a great time at Samantha’s. She gave us constant updates. She took special care of Zeke as he has some hip issues. I glad I found her and would definitely use her services in the future.”
“Olivia took great care of Mocha and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was kind, reliable, and clearly cared about him. I really appreciated the peace of mind and would definitely recommend her.”
“Dorian did a great job taking care of my fur baby. My dog is an older dachshund who is still energetic so I worry about him with sitters, but Dorian put my mind at ease by communicating with me well. From what I was told Obi had a great time playing with kids and taking lots of breaks that may or may not have included some mud baths lol. Thank you Dorian.”
“My Golden had a wonderful 2 week stay with Karen. She sent videos and pictures everyday. Her whole family is so sweet and she has a beautiful property! Will definitely use her in the future.”
“The dogs had a wonderful time with Kacy. Kacy sent videos and pics of our puppies keeping us up to date the entire time. Communication is great and her and her husband are super nice. Will def. come back :):)”
“Nat &Ally are amazing, this is by far the best Rover service that I ever had and I have been using Rovers for more than 3 years. They are very attentive, they do a meeting before the drop off day, they truly want to make sure my furbaby will feel welcome and safe. They asked all the right questions, food, timing, snacks, what is he allowed or not to do and so on. They have a backyard which is great for my chocolate lab to play and they have a playful dog that was perfect for Rocco. We even got a drawing from Rocco, from one of the kids, that made me cry…Happy cry! They are all super sweet. Love their vibe and respect. I recommend them 100%. I would be looking forward to work with them more often.”
“Marieliz was great with Samson. I received regular updates, photos, and videos. Was great to see how he was adjusting while I was away. Turns out he felt instantly at home and settled in great. Would highly recommend Marieliz, and would love to have Samson stay with her again.”
“We had a great experience with Nicole taking care of our pug, Memo, for about a week. She was super nice and easy to work with from the start. From the meet and greet, we knew Memo was going to love her. She kept us updated every day on how Memo was doing, and we really like the photos and videos she sent. It really made it a lot easier being away from him. You could tell right away that Memo was comfortable and happy with her and her husband. They treated him like their own and made sure he got plenty of attention and walks. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.”
“Linda was fabulous, personal, caring & informative. She kept us updated with photos & comments during Charlie’s stay. Lovely fenced back yard, and nearby walkways allowed Charlie to thoroughly enjoy himself. Absolutely first class! I recommend Linda without reservation.”
About: Greetings! I am an experienced dog owner and pet sitter, and recently just lost my wonderful lab of 14.5 years. I'm experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, and everything in between, including any dog size petite to massive! I can administer medicine as well. We have a home about 4 blocks from Baker Park in a quiet neighborhood that is good for walks, and we have a fully fenced in backyard as well. I work from home M-F 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. Occasionally I may step out for dinner with my wife or friends. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. My schedule is fairly flexible during working hours, so I can take our furry friend out for many breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that's good for walking as well, with parks close by. We love dogs, small to large, and would be happy to host yours.
“Robin is awesome to work with! Our pup loves spending weekends with her and her family. She always sends pics and notes of what they were up to during the day and lets us know if there is anything we need to be aware of with our pup.”
“Sandra and her family are extremely loving. I just used her October 22nd-25th. This was the first time my first baby and I have been apart outside of dog training. I was extremely nervous. I went over about a week prior for a meet and greet. Her property is large and plenty of room for animals and kids to run and play. The amount of pics and updates I received each day was amazing. I knew Sam was having an amazing time making new friends and enjoying his mini vacation. I would highly recommend her and I will use her again in the future.”
