“Over all satisfied Im looking forward to booking again next month. He appears just fine coming back home he kept me up to date with pictures of him in his care. I was very nervous about using this service for first time but my dog came back unharmed. So I’m at comfort with that. Now it took some reminder to start getting an update about my doggy in that maybe due to dog sitter being busy.”
“Diana treats my dogs as part of her family. She sends wonderful pictures and updates and it really helps me feel comfortable with being away from my fur babies. I couldn’t ask for more from someone, she’s wonderful and loving to them and they love being with her.”
“As a first time rover user, also Oreo’s first time sleeping over with a sitter, we are glad we found Rodney and Marissa very close to home. As a senior dog, and also diabetic, I was worried having someone else take care of Oreo. But Rodney was great keeping me informed how Oreo was doing. They were great with oreo’s medication, including Oreo’s insulin shot twice a day. Again, thanks for having Oreo, Rodney and Marissa! ?”
“So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.”

“Shakiyla was very informative and pleasant to work with. She took excellent care of Zeus and I would recommend her to anyone and I’ll definitely will be using her services again.”
“Will and Adriele were great! Our two pups had a wonderful time while staying with them. They were easy and responsive to communicate with and sent photos and updates a couple times a day. I'd recommend a stay with Will and Adriele!”
“Jenna was great! She was very attentive and responsive to questions. She sent pics and little updates every morning, which was really nice. Our little guy fell right asleep on the way home, so I know he got enough exercise and playtime!”
“Jie and his family were welcoming to Phil. I received pictures and updates about how he was adjusting to his stay. I was able to focus on my time away knowing my baby was lovingly cared for, I will definitely use them again.”

“Lingli was an amazing sitter and cared for my sweet boy with so much care and compassion. While away for a week, I was sent tons of photos and videos during Dill’s stay. I highly recommend Lingli and will definitely continue using services in the future. I know that while I am away, my sweet boy will be in great hands, in a safe environment.”
“Aster helped us in a very last minute pinch when our dog sitting plans fell through for an out of town vacation! Our puppy is under a year old and has a leg injury so required some special attention and care. This made us extra nervous to leave her but we received so many wonderful updates throughout our trip. Our pup loved her time away because of how awesome Aster and her family took care of her. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Nikki was great! She was flexible and seemed to understand what our reserved, sometimes anxious girl needed to feel comfortable. We appreciated knowing she was in good hands.”

I highly recommend her and hope she will be available for the next time we take a long vacation. Thank you Ana!”
“We had a great experience with Yeji! She took wonderful care of our cats and followed all of our instructions perfectly, including their different feeding routines. She was reliable, communicative, and made it easy for us to enjoy our trip without worrying about the cats. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We would absolutely book with her again!”

“Lingli came through for our last minute doggy daycare needs and we are grateful! She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her.

About: I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect. I would love to walk or play with your dog, and have committed the time to this work despite also working from home in another profession. Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Only one dog at a time guaranteed. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3-4+ times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.
“Ken & Felice were absolutely a breath of fresh air. They clearly love dogs and are excellent hosts. I could tell from their photos, and Charlie’s demeanor at pick up time that he was well cared for and in loving, capable hands. Looking forward to his return and many new furry friendships!”
“So glad we found Lydia! Freya has had limited exposure to different sitters and was quite anxious when I dropped her off but Lydia and her children put her right at ease. She had a wonderful time, didn't even want to go home! I will definitely use Lydia again!”
“We booked day care with Francine super last minute and she accepted a same day request (on Christmas Eve!!) Our dog had a great time with their 2 dogs, running around in their fenced in back yard and chilling in the house. We would strongly recommend booking with Francine!”

“Katherine was so good with Molly. I was anxious about leaving her for the day because I had never left her at someone else's home before. As soon as I met Katherine for our meet & greet, I knew she would be perfect with Molly. Katharine exudes gentleness and kindness and you can feel the love she has for animals. Molly even warmed up to Bailey which was such a great surprise and relief for me since she hasn't had a whole lot of socialization with other dogs. Thanks again Katherine!”
“Aster was amazing. She sent lots of pictures of my baby throughout the day so I could see how much fun she was having. And what a time she had, she spent so much time outside and loved every second of it. Aster was very communicative and was able to answer any questions I had really quickly.”
“I really appreciate Robin for accommodating my anxious puppy during my visit to Maryland. She was incredibly patient and found safe and effective ways to manage my dog’s tendencies to try to escape due to her separation anxiety and kept a close eye on her, allowing me to attend my family's events with peace of mind. By the third visit, my dog was much more comfortable and playing with the other dogs. I look forward to using Robin's services when I am back visiting Maryland.”

I initially booked one day with Kelly and immediately after the first day, booked the rest of the week! The communication throughout the days was fantastic and Sophie was so excited to return each day. It was very clear that Kelly is attentive to Sophie the entire day…. Walks, snacks, rest, playtime. Totally recommend Kelly! I will be a regular.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ana was absolutely amazing with our dog while we were away for 10 days. She was scheduled to walk him twice a day and feed him after each 30-minute walk, but she often went above and beyond by stopping by three times a day. She was always punctual, caring, and incredibly attentive. When he had an accident in the house, Ana thoroughly cleaned everything up without us even having to ask. What really gave us peace of mind was her constant communication—she sent regular texts, photos, and videos of their walks, which made being away so much easier. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book her again. Highly recommend! 🐶💙”

With my own animals I love hiking, various dog sports, adventures and training for fun. I have fostered numerous puppies for a local rescue and trained them until they found their forever homes. I rescued my own dog and helped him build his confidence, he was extremely fearful even afraid of me and he has blossomed in my care. I currently work at a doggy care but always time to look after your pets. I usually work in the morning so I check in with your pets when I wake up then a few more times after work. My roommate is always home so your pets are never truly alone when boarding with me. I will follow any and all instructions you provide so don’t hesitate to ask. No request is too big and I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is perfectly cared for.
