“Boarding with Ellen was outstanding. We had a family emergency that made taking our large dog with us impossible. He’s five-years old and had never been away from home - I am sure it was challenging for him. While not aggressive or disobedient, at about 120lbs he can be intimidating. Ellen was clearly very comfortable with him during our meet and greet visit and was very confident he’d be fine with her. He absolute was! She made him very at home on her beautiful farmette with her pack of critters. They all looked clean and loved. I noted her calmness with the dogs and confidence in their interaction under her watchful eye. The dogs have plenty of space to run and socialize. She made sure we gave her his “regular” food and medications, and verified other foods he would be allowed to have. She sent regular updates and photos during his stay. Each action shot was accompanied by a thoughtful narrative of the photo. We really enjoyed pictures of his quiet time, napping with the other dogs in her home was comforting. They all looked content. We needed an extra day of boarding because of the unpredictability of our travel and Ellen made it so easy. Our dog made new friends and we did too.”
“I usually don't leave reviews but I have to this time. Renee is amazing! We found ourselves needing a sitter for our 7 month old Golden Doodle for a week. I had never used the Rover app OR a dog boarding service before. I found Renee using the Star Sitters filter and I am so grateful to her. She was patient with all of my questions (before, during, and after the meeting and greet!) and immediately put my mind at ease. You can tell she has a lot of experience with dogs and has a very calm but assertive demeanor with them that made me confident she could handle our amped up puppy. While we were away she sent us pictures and updates regularly without me asking so I was never worried about how he was. He even made friends at her house to play with! After bringing him home I could tell she kept him on his routine and he is doing great. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Emily was fantastic! She took the best care of Maya and Millie while we were on vacation. I told her upon meeting that I didn't need daily updates or photos, but to contact me if any issues came up. She gave perfect feedback, and I felt very confident that my dogs were having the best time on her expansive property. I would definitely book Emily again and I highly recommend her!”
“Sarah treated Andy as if he was hers. All the pictures Sarah sent Andy looked very content. Andy enjoyed his time it Sarah's house. I will use Rover.com and Sarah again.”
“Our dogs, Homer and Bella absolutely lived staying with Charlie and his family. They liked it so much I was worried as to whether they would want to come back home with us. They had a HUGE yard to play in, a number of other great dogs to romp around with, two of which are Charlie’s, the rest were visitors as well. Charlie did a great job keeping us up to date with frequent updates, pictures and videos. Knowing our fur babies were being so well taken care of made our vacation get away so much more enjoyable. Ae will definitely be using Charlie and Rover again in the future.”
“I had to leave my dog Thenji with Adrienne and Nick at very short notice. They were able to take her. It was so reassuring to know that she was being so lovingly cared for!”
“OH my goodness!!! Where do I start?!? John and his wife are absolutely AMAZING!!! My family and I went on a 7 day cruise, but they had my dog for 9 days and totally spoiled my dog as their own. They sent plenty of pictures and videos each day and were super communicative and are just wonderful people! When I picked up my dog, I could instantly tell that he was treated so well!! I could enjoy my vacation in peace and not worry!”
“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”
“Melissa and her family were such a great place for Harper. She was able to spend time outside and off leash, as well as cozy up to the boys on the sofa - all of her favorite things.”
“Rachel and Jason were wonderful and accommodating hosts for our Aussie. I appreciate that they took the time for a meet-and-greet up front to make sure our dog would get along with theirs, and they were patient with her when she arrived very excited and barky. Also got to see another dog that they were hosting, and Rachel was super sweet with him. I'd go as far to say she's a dog whisperer! We received regular updates and photos to put our minds at ease. Would definitely leave our pup with them again.”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats. We do tend to spoil them. I have lots of room for them to run and play in our fenced in yard. We walk them on a leash through our nearby cemetery. I currently work part time with Amazon flex. I will always be available if I have any pet jobs as Amazon flex is very flexible. I’m available for home and pet sitting. I have a fenced in back yard and currently own 1 miniature Daschund female 2 years old to help keep your furry friends playing or if needed I can use a crate with permission only.
“Sandra was great! Our dog was very happy to make many friends, play around with them in her big fenced yard. Sandra also sent us so many pictures and videos every day to keep us updated.”
“My 14 y o dog has never been happier! Received pictures daily and he was smiling throughout. Best accommodations ever. The family is extremely nice and the boys even drew a picture of the happy dog. I’m already booking another date. So happy to have found them!”
“Chris and Gerry are so nice, loving, and kind. My girls felt at ease while staying with them. It helps that they only take one client at a time. If you are looking for someone to love your babies like their own, look no further. Definitely book with Chris and Gerry!”
“I’ve had two of my fur babies stay with Legune & Michael. They are so amazing!! The updates they give are wonderful and my puppies have such a fun time with them! I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you again for taking such great care of my babies!”
“Mandie was wonderful and helped us with a six day stay with very short notice. Communication was perfect with quick responses and frequent updates with pictures. We definitely recommend Mandie and will surely be back!”
“We believe Rene is the dog whisperer. Our dogs did great and we appreciate how they loved going back the next day. We have anxious dogs and they don’t always like where they’re going but they certainly loved going back. Thank you for taking great care of our pups.”

“Christina was lovely with our two cats and even provided medication and let us know when we had an ant problem while we are gone! Great sitter who loves animals! 🐈⬛🐾🖤”
“Amber is a great person that is kind and caring. This is the first time I have left my cats with someone that isn’t family; she definitely made the experience positive and I know I will be calling her in the future.”
“Matthew has been my go-to pet sitter for several months now, and I couldn’t be happier! I trust him completely with my home and pets. He is quick to respond to my messages, very attentive to the cats, and alerts me immediately with any concerns/issues.”
“Brittany is very professional and loved my kitty kat Tucker even though he is terrified of strangers and wouldn't visit with her when she dropped in during the vacation week! She did everything needed for Tucker to be on his own and we would have her back with no hesitation - Thanx Brittany!”
“Wow wow wow, I cannot say enough great things about Kaylee!!! We asked her to house sit for a very big trip, and I knew we were asking a lot, but she truly delivered and was everything we could want in a cat and house sitter, and more!! She sent us text, photo, and video updates along the way, and was great at communicating with us. She was extremely patient with our shy cat, and also with our very sassy little cat! In the end, she ended up befriending the little one and gaining her trust, which was so sweet! She also left our house in immaculate condition, which was impressive given how long she stayed. We will definitely be using her services again, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Karen is awesome! The dogs responded really well to her. It was a hot day but she made sure they got enough outside time and gave them lots of pets and treats inside. She sent me updates and made sure everything was done just right before heading out. I'd definitely book with Karen again.”
About: I’ve pet sat for many cats over the years, along with having two cats of my own. I’m comfortable giving medications and cleaning litter boxes. My own cat is special needs so I’m not a stranger to getting creative in order to give medication.
About: Since I can remember, I have been caring for animals. If people know me, they know there is no Emilee without pets. Whether it's caring for the 3 dogs of my own, my Bengal cat, my 40 chickens, or a friend's/family's/colleague's animals, I am always excited for bonus time around fury loved ones. I have a background and degree in Animal Science and specific skills pertaining to diabetic animals. I am comfortable with all breeds, ages and temperaments.
“Amanda was beyond amazing! She took great care of our pup, took him for a couple of walks and played with him in our yard. Our pup Buckley truly enjoyed his time with Amanda and highly recommend her to take care of fur animals! We will for sure be booking again in the future with her.”
About: I have 2 senior cats and have had cats all my life. I am sensitive to the needs and body language of cats, and I can care for cats with many different energy and affection levels. I know cats can be picky, and I don't mind following specific directions. Also, I am going to volunteer soon at my local shelter for cat socialization :).

About: I've been taking care of my own animals my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family started hiring me for pet care when I was still in high school. I love the stark difference in pet personalities and learning how each of them likes to be cared for. Examples of my past & present clientele: - A family with 7 chihuahuas of varying ages and levels of crazy - A brand new hyperactive Bernedoodle puppy whom I still care for regularly (she's 4 now!) - A sweet lab who liked long, slow walks and bananas - A moody cat who could not care less about me (I have slowly earned the blessing of giving head pats to them now) - A tortoise who inspires me to slow down and eat more greens *my home is a safe space for people and pets from all walks of life* I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet(s)! I love being and walking outside and having an animal companion to join me is always a pleasure. We have a large back porch and yard for sniffing around. If your pet requires extra exercise, we have a quiet neighborhood to walk around in. We have a dog bed in almost every room, space for you to bring a crate, or an area that can be closed off overnight if necessary or requested. There are few places in the house that the dogs don't have access to out of an abundance of safety. Otherwise, they are welcome to make themselves at home! If I care for an animal in your home, I will let you and your pet take the lead!
“Lejune provided soooo many pictures and updates, she made me feel like I was there every moment. Fiona haf a blast and was ready for bedtime by the time we came to pick her up. Great service and will definitely come back when I’m in the area again.”
About: I have experience, taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens. I am willing to take care of smaller animals, such as hamsters, birds or guinea pigs as well. During the summer, I am home most days of the week. I am a full time teacher so I am off during the summer. Therefore I am very reliable and flexible with times. I have a fenced in yard that’s big enough for dogs to get some exercise. I have two kids who enjoy seeing and meeting new animals.
“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!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with more than 50 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, gerbils, and fish, giving me a deep understanding that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience administering medications and providing attentive, individualized care. My goal is to give your dog a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home while you’re away. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care each day. I maintain a consistent routine to make sure pets in my care are comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I enjoy spending time with animals and will provide regular interaction, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can stay connected and know your pet is happy and doing well. Pets staying in my home become part of the family. We have a friendly Boston Terrier and a secure fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy safe outdoor time, play, and fresh air. I provide a calm, loving environment with attention to each dog’s individual needs, including their feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and comfort preferences. I keep my home safe and welcoming so your dog can relax and feel at ease while you’re away. For additional peace of mind, we live just two miles from a highly respected veterinary clinic should an emergency ever arise.
“This is the 2nd dog we entrusted Charlie with and she had a great time. She loves running and playing in the big yard with the other dogs. We will definitely be using Charlie again.”
“Tux has always been anxious when left behind, but did very well with Emily all day. She was very attentive to his needs and he got along well with her other daycare pup. She sent numerous pictures and answered my texts right away when I checked in on him. She asked permission to take him on a short ride in her car, which I granted since he loves car rides and hates being left behind. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy.”
“Our dog Buddy seems to have had a great time. Chloe kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and texts. I’m sure he’ll want to come back soon. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
About: I have experience in caring from all types of animals from hermit crabs, lizards and fish to cats, dogs rabbits horses and everything in between lol. So I can also provide care for other pets not listed here. My 12 year old daughter and I love animals and have been rescuing and rehoming animals for years. We currently have a 7 year old golden retriever that we raised from 8 weeks old. And a 4 month old kitten we rescued and raised from 5 days old. I have completed with my dog puppy socialization and training courses. I have experience in Training, introductions, wound treatment, allergies, medication administration,exercise, pet message and bathing/grooming. I am currently a stay at home mother caring for and home schooling my 12 year old daughter so I have alot of availability and last minute availability. I have a big back unfenced in yard and screened in car port. Animals have full access to my house unless they have restrictions that would prevent that such as not allowed on furniture in clients home or eats things then they would for their safety be prevented from those areas. I am very respectful of others and following rules so if I would need to be in your home rest assured your home and fur baby would be in good hands.
“Nova had a great time with Renee today. Renee was responsive, shared updates throughout the day, and made scheduling very easy. She was flexible and it truly felt like she treated Nova as her own. I will definitely use Renee and her husband again.”
“First off, Nadia is the sweetest! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and by speaking with her you learn she has our dog’s best interest at heart. We wanted daycare on days we both worked overnight and Nadia is very flexible. This was Daisy first ever day/time away from us and we woke up to so many updates and pictures….not sure how we got so lucky.”
About: My Experience My experience caring for dogs goes back well before I started doing this full time. In high school, I walked dogs for people in my community to earn extra money, so getting paid to grab a leash and spend time with dogs is actually something I’ve come back to years later. Since then, I’ve continued gaining hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels through years of owning and caring for dogs myself. I’m comfortable with everything from a dog that wants to stop and investigate every mailbox to a large, energetic dog that genuinely needs to put some miles in. What started as a way to make money in high school has developed into something I take much more seriously today. Pet care is now my full-time focus, and I approach it professionally—learning each dog’s routine, keeping individual notes, communicating with owners, and working to build a relationship with every dog I regularly walk. I don’t just want experience walking dogs. I want experience knowing your dog—what they enjoy, what they avoid, how they communicate, and what makes them excited when I show up at the door. My Schedule & Availability: Open 24/7/365 | ASAP | rain☔️, snow❄️, or shine☀️ | hot🥵 or cold🥶 Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is built around the dogs I care for—not around another work schedule. I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Early mornings, afternoons, evenings, overnight, weekends, and holidays—rain, snow, or shine, hot or cold. I especially welcome recurring clients who want to make exercise a consistent part of their dog’s routine. Because this is my full-time focus, I can accommodate regular weekday walks, multiple walks per week, longer walks, high-energy dogs, and owners who work overnight or unusual schedules. I also understand that life doesn’t always happen on a schedule, which is why I accept ASAP requests whenever possible. If I receive an alert at 2:00 AM, for example, my goal is to be at your pet’s door by 4:00 AM. ASAP requests are always subject to my current schedule, location, and travel time, so immediate arrival can’t be guaranteed, but I aim to respond to ASAP requests within two hours of receiving the alert. Weather doesn’t automatically mean a canceled walk either. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get outside. Dogs still need exercise, bathroom breaks, mental stimulation, and attention when the weather isn’t perfect. Safety always comes first, so extreme heat, dangerous cold, thunderstorms, ice, or other hazardous conditions may mean adjusting our distance, route, pace, or time outdoors rather than putting your dog at unnecessary risk. I also leave enough time between scheduled clients so your dog’s visit doesn’t feel rushed. Consistency is important to me, and regular walks give me the opportunity to learn your dog’s personality, routine, favorite places, preferred pace, and individual needs. Whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM, a beautiful sunny afternoon or a snowy morning, my goal is to be someone you can depend on—and someone your dog gets excited to see because they know it’s time to go explore. Safety, Trust & Environment: Your dog’s safety will always come first, but I also believe dogs deserve to experience the world outside. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get them outside and moving. I’ll always adjust our pace, distance, and route to your dog and the conditions rather than automatically canceling a walk because the weather isn’t perfect. Throughout every walk, I pay close attention to your dog’s body language, breathing, energy level, paws, traffic, other animals, and our surroundings. On hot days, that means watching pavement temperatures, prioritizing shade and water, and recognizing signs of overheating. In cold or snowy conditions, I’ll monitor their paws and comfort and follow any instructions you have for coats, boots, or other gear. Weather won’t scare me away, but unsafe conditions will change the plan. Extreme heat, severe storms, dangerous ice, or conditions that could put your dog at risk may mean a shorter outdoor walk with the remaining time devoted to safe indoor attention and stimulation. Trust matters just as much. You’re trusting me with a member of your family and, in many cases, access to your home. I’ll respect your property, follow your instructions, communicate with you, and make sure your dog is safe and secure before I leave. I also want dogs to have the opportunity to be dogs. I’ll give them time to sniff, explore, investigate their surroundings, and experience what’s happening around them instead of treating every walk like a race. Every dog is different, and I’ll learn yours. Rain, snow, or shine. Hot or cold. My goal is to become someone you trust—and someone your dog gets excited to see walking through the door.

About: Growing up, learning to take care of different kinds of animals was encouraged. From guinea pigs to horses, I have seen it all. Now living on my own, and having a dog and cat of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your animals.

I currently only offer pet sitting in the client’s home. I do my best to follow all rules and instructions given, I do prefer any specifics (feeding amounts, any medications, etc.) to be written down just so I can reference back if I need!
About: I LOVE DOGS!! What more can I say? I have had dogs in my family, of my own and taken care of family dogs practically since I was born. I've been around dogs of all shapes and sizes and love all of them, no matter what! I have had experience with special diets, dog walking and even diabetic dogs (using diabetic test strips and glucometer). Sometimes I like to think of myself as a dog whisperer: I can get along with all dogs and read what they need or want. I'm also great at helping dogs to heal or get over their fears! I especially love giving and receiving loves (hugs, kisses and lots of cuddles and petting)! Give me your doggie babies! :D I would love to take care of them!

About: In my opinion, animals are the best thing in the world! Especially when they become pets. I am a nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital, but I have always had other passions. One passion would definitely be my love for animals and nature! When I am not at the hospital I would love to get to know you and your family pet! I love all animals so much ... I got allergy weekly/biweekly shots (2 in each arm) to prove it!! I am super interested in caring for your family pet and making them feel like you never left home! I am interested in walking, sitting, home visits and boarding animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, cows, chickens, pigs, rabbits, hamsters, hermit crabs, etc! I am skilled at taking care of many different animals. I currently own a dachshund and a Bichon poo. My dogs are my world!! If you want someone who will treat your pet like family I am your girl! I work night shift so I am available most days and some night to help out when needed! Feel free to contact me!
“I messaged Jaden and she was able to come that same evening for a meet and great, and start walks as early as the next day. I highly recommend her! Jaden has been walking my puppy Toby for 3 weeks now. On time, great communication, super flexible and has great availability. Will continue to work with Jaden moving forward.”
“Jacob has been a wonderful dog walker for Zoey. He makes her walking experience enjoyable and makes over her and she just loves him. He's been very punctual and has walked the dog for the scheduled amount of time.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, starting in middle school and continuing through college and grad school. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and caring for both dogs and cats. While in school, I regularly pet sat for families in Pennsylvania and built lasting relationships through reliable, attentive care. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and sizes—including dogs with health issues who require medication, special routines, or extra attention. What sets me apart is my lifelong connection to animals. I grew up in a home with pets throughout my childhood—including 4 dogs (labs and pointers), 6 cats, and 10 bunnies—so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love making animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. I recently started a full-time role, but the great news is I only work three days a week! That means I still have plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent care for your pets while you're away or at work. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests—I’d love to help! I take safety and trust seriously and always aim to make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and comfort, which I know is especially important for animals who may get anxious in unfamiliar environments. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, or playtime preferences—and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: Hello, I’m Kirsten. I have been actively dog sitting for the last 5 years in and around Washington county and Frederick county. As well as the surrounding areas. (Mount airy, woodbine, Frederick, smithsburg, Hagerstown. etc) As of September 2026 we do have a newborn. I do both overnights in your home and boarding opportunities in our home. I can work from home most days which allows a very flexible schedule. I am willing to accommodate for what ever needs are present and will make sure your pet is well taken care of. Thanks for your consideration ! I work full time, I can provide care before and after work. I also have the flexibility to work from home as needed. Thank you! I do have a fenced in yard, no restrictions at my home as far as where the dog can go, they can sleep in my bed if they would like.
About: I've been taking care of my own animals my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family started hiring me for pet care when I was still in high school. I love the stark difference in pet personalities and learning how each of them likes to be cared for. Examples of my past & present clientele: - A family with 7 chihuahuas of varying ages and levels of crazy - A brand new hyperactive Bernedoodle puppy whom I still care for regularly (she's 4 now!) - A sweet lab who liked long, slow walks and bananas - A moody cat who could not care less about me (I have slowly earned the blessing of giving head pats to them now) - A tortoise who inspires me to slow down and eat more greens *my home is a safe space for people and pets from all walks of life* I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet(s)! I love being and walking outside and having an animal companion to join me is always a pleasure. We have a large back porch and yard for sniffing around. If your pet requires extra exercise, we have a quiet neighborhood to walk around in. We have a dog bed in almost every room, space for you to bring a crate, or an area that can be closed off overnight if necessary or requested. There are few places in the house that the dogs don't have access to out of an abundance of safety. Otherwise, they are welcome to make themselves at home! If I care for an animal in your home, I will let you and your pet take the lead!
“Ava was absolutely fantastic! She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the very beginning, she was communicative, punctual, and made me feel completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond by making sure my dog got plenty of exercise and attention. I highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog walker. I'll definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ava, for taking such wonderful care of my pup!”
About: My Experience My experience caring for dogs goes back well before I started doing this full time. In high school, I walked dogs for people in my community to earn extra money, so getting paid to grab a leash and spend time with dogs is actually something I’ve come back to years later. Since then, I’ve continued gaining hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels through years of owning and caring for dogs myself. I’m comfortable with everything from a dog that wants to stop and investigate every mailbox to a large, energetic dog that genuinely needs to put some miles in. What started as a way to make money in high school has developed into something I take much more seriously today. Pet care is now my full-time focus, and I approach it professionally—learning each dog’s routine, keeping individual notes, communicating with owners, and working to build a relationship with every dog I regularly walk. I don’t just want experience walking dogs. I want experience knowing your dog—what they enjoy, what they avoid, how they communicate, and what makes them excited when I show up at the door. My Schedule & Availability: Open 24/7/365 | ASAP | rain☔️, snow❄️, or shine☀️ | hot🥵 or cold🥶 Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is built around the dogs I care for—not around another work schedule. I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Early mornings, afternoons, evenings, overnight, weekends, and holidays—rain, snow, or shine, hot or cold. I especially welcome recurring clients who want to make exercise a consistent part of their dog’s routine. Because this is my full-time focus, I can accommodate regular weekday walks, multiple walks per week, longer walks, high-energy dogs, and owners who work overnight or unusual schedules. I also understand that life doesn’t always happen on a schedule, which is why I accept ASAP requests whenever possible. If I receive an alert at 2:00 AM, for example, my goal is to be at your pet’s door by 4:00 AM. ASAP requests are always subject to my current schedule, location, and travel time, so immediate arrival can’t be guaranteed, but I aim to respond to ASAP requests within two hours of receiving the alert. Weather doesn’t automatically mean a canceled walk either. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get outside. Dogs still need exercise, bathroom breaks, mental stimulation, and attention when the weather isn’t perfect. Safety always comes first, so extreme heat, dangerous cold, thunderstorms, ice, or other hazardous conditions may mean adjusting our distance, route, pace, or time outdoors rather than putting your dog at unnecessary risk. I also leave enough time between scheduled clients so your dog’s visit doesn’t feel rushed. Consistency is important to me, and regular walks give me the opportunity to learn your dog’s personality, routine, favorite places, preferred pace, and individual needs. Whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM, a beautiful sunny afternoon or a snowy morning, my goal is to be someone you can depend on—and someone your dog gets excited to see because they know it’s time to go explore. Safety, Trust & Environment: Your dog’s safety will always come first, but I also believe dogs deserve to experience the world outside. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get them outside and moving. I’ll always adjust our pace, distance, and route to your dog and the conditions rather than automatically canceling a walk because the weather isn’t perfect. Throughout every walk, I pay close attention to your dog’s body language, breathing, energy level, paws, traffic, other animals, and our surroundings. On hot days, that means watching pavement temperatures, prioritizing shade and water, and recognizing signs of overheating. In cold or snowy conditions, I’ll monitor their paws and comfort and follow any instructions you have for coats, boots, or other gear. Weather won’t scare me away, but unsafe conditions will change the plan. Extreme heat, severe storms, dangerous ice, or conditions that could put your dog at risk may mean a shorter outdoor walk with the remaining time devoted to safe indoor attention and stimulation. Trust matters just as much. You’re trusting me with a member of your family and, in many cases, access to your home. I’ll respect your property, follow your instructions, communicate with you, and make sure your dog is safe and secure before I leave. I also want dogs to have the opportunity to be dogs. I’ll give them time to sniff, explore, investigate their surroundings, and experience what’s happening around them instead of treating every walk like a race. Every dog is different, and I’ll learn yours. Rain, snow, or shine. Hot or cold. My goal is to become someone you trust—and someone your dog gets excited to see walking through the door.

“Boarding with Ellen was outstanding. We had a family emergency that made taking our large dog with us impossible. He’s five-years old and had never been away from home - I am sure it was challenging for him. While not aggressive or disobedient, at about 120lbs he can be intimidating. Ellen was clearly very comfortable with him during our meet and greet visit and was very confident he’d be fine with her. He absolute was! She made him very at home on her beautiful farmette with her pack of critters. They all looked clean and loved. I noted her calmness with the dogs and confidence in their interaction under her watchful eye. The dogs have plenty of space to run and socialize. She made sure we gave her his “regular” food and medications, and verified other foods he would be allowed to have. She sent regular updates and photos during his stay. Each action shot was accompanied by a thoughtful narrative of the photo. We really enjoyed pictures of his quiet time, napping with the other dogs in her home was comforting. They all looked content. We needed an extra day of boarding because of the unpredictability of our travel and Ellen made it so easy. Our dog made new friends and we did too.”
“I usually don't leave reviews but I have to this time. Renee is amazing! We found ourselves needing a sitter for our 7 month old Golden Doodle for a week. I had never used the Rover app OR a dog boarding service before. I found Renee using the Star Sitters filter and I am so grateful to her. She was patient with all of my questions (before, during, and after the meeting and greet!) and immediately put my mind at ease. You can tell she has a lot of experience with dogs and has a very calm but assertive demeanor with them that made me confident she could handle our amped up puppy. While we were away she sent us pictures and updates regularly without me asking so I was never worried about how he was. He even made friends at her house to play with! After bringing him home I could tell she kept him on his routine and he is doing great. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Emily was fantastic! She took the best care of Maya and Millie while we were on vacation. I told her upon meeting that I didn't need daily updates or photos, but to contact me if any issues came up. She gave perfect feedback, and I felt very confident that my dogs were having the best time on her expansive property. I would definitely book Emily again and I highly recommend her!”
“Sarah treated Andy as if he was hers. All the pictures Sarah sent Andy looked very content. Andy enjoyed his time it Sarah's house. I will use Rover.com and Sarah again.”
“Our dogs, Homer and Bella absolutely lived staying with Charlie and his family. They liked it so much I was worried as to whether they would want to come back home with us. They had a HUGE yard to play in, a number of other great dogs to romp around with, two of which are Charlie’s, the rest were visitors as well. Charlie did a great job keeping us up to date with frequent updates, pictures and videos. Knowing our fur babies were being so well taken care of made our vacation get away so much more enjoyable. Ae will definitely be using Charlie and Rover again in the future.”
“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”
“Melissa and her family were such a great place for Harper. She was able to spend time outside and off leash, as well as cozy up to the boys on the sofa - all of her favorite things.”
“Sandra was great! Our dog was very happy to make many friends, play around with them in her big fenced yard. Sandra also sent us so many pictures and videos every day to keep us updated.”
“My 14 y o dog has never been happier! Received pictures daily and he was smiling throughout. Best accommodations ever. The family is extremely nice and the boys even drew a picture of the happy dog. I’m already booking another date. So happy to have found them!”
“Mandie was wonderful and helped us with a six day stay with very short notice. Communication was perfect with quick responses and frequent updates with pictures. We definitely recommend Mandie and will surely be back!”
“Dorian and family took our last minute request and our two dogs, a big puppy & a small old guy and acclimated them into their family for two nights. So very helpful & kind!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone who wasn’t family and I would 100000000% rebook with Sam. Sam sent me pictures everyday while I was gone and gave me updates on how Blue was doing. She took such good care of my dog and if there was a 10 star option that would be my rating. 😊”
“Matt was super easy to work with and took good care of our Aussie, who was hesitant to leave him when we went to pick her up! It’s so nice to find a dog sitter who works from home like we do. Highly recommend Matt.”
“Kacy took such great care of our dog! We were able to enjoy our trip with no worries about her at all. Many photos and videos of her so we could see how she was doing along with notes from Kacy. Definitely 5 + star rating and will absolutely have our dog vacation with Kacy in the future!”
“Brittney took such great care of Pluto. Being new to the area and in need of someone to look after Pluto she helped me feel at ease. She sent me updates and pics throughout his stay. I will definitely being him back. He had such a good time.”
“Anna took such great care of our German shepherd, was communicative and understanding when we had an unexpected travel change. She was more than accommodating and went above and beyond to help given our travel issue. Anna’s house is great for any dog, her dogs are very sweet and her family is awesome. I cannot recommend enough and we will book with her again 1000%”
“Overall a great experience. He was treated like at home. Marne and her husband are really flexible when I needed additional days to leave Rocco due to a change of plans in our trip which we appreciate greatly.”
