“I will forever be a repeat client of Kelly and Maurice. They are so reliable! Not only does your dog feel cared for while at their home, but they are super responsive, friendly, courteous and send numerous pics and videos throughout the day.”
“We are very pleased with Shuling as she is very friendly and easy to work with. Our dog gets excited when we arrive at her house. Leia runs to her front door without even looking back to see where we are.”
“This was our first time using Rover so we were nervous about leaving our fur baby with a Stanger in their home. Well Mady met and exceeded our expectations! We have a 96 pound Rottweiler and Mady loved on her and she enjoyed spending time with their dog Radar! She has a clean and spacious fenced in back yard and also took Stormy on nice walks! There were also toys there to keep Stormy occupied and happy. Mady followed our instructions exactly as it relates to her care. She sent pictures and videos which kept us from worrying! We highly recommend Mady, it’s clear this is not just a business for Mady, she truly has a love for dogs!”
“After a meet and greet we decided to do an overnight trial and our dog loved it! The whole family is very warm and inviting and our dog felt at home the moment he walked in the door. Their house has a nice fenced in backyard as a plus. We have already booked our summer vacation and plan on booking other trips as well. Very happy to have found such a perfect fit.”
“Crystal was wonderful. She really puts her all into babysitting our pups! My mini poodle loved her and had other pups to play with. She was very intentional from the start, we also had a FaceTime and in-person meet & greet. I would definitely use her as my go-to.”
“Sabrina was great with my dog. She provided regular photo and video updates that provided me extra comfort that he was in good hands while I traveled. Will definitely use her services again!”
“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. 🫶🫶🫶”
“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”
“Michelle has been caring for our dog, Lucy, for years now... and we have been nothing but pleased with her loving care for Lucy, her great communication, and dependability. Lucy loves her vacations with Michelle, and we always feel 100% confident in the care we know she will receive. Definitely 5 stars in every area!”
“This Tiko’s second time staying with Yousef and we couldn’t be happier, they are communicative and always send pics. Tiko is always happy when he returns and there is little to no anxiety. I can tell that he truly enjoys his time there!”
“Lynette and Vincent went above and beyond for our senior dog. They showed so much compassion and kept us updated. Thank you! Our younger pup always loves playing with Simon and friends during his stay.”
“Marta was fantastic with our 6-month-old Basset Hound, Charlie!! It was my first time ever leaving a pet with anyone and she made it so easy. I received multiple updates each day with pictures, videos and text. It was great to see him with his new friends having such a good time! When I picked Charlie up, five days later, I told her that I never worried about him the entire trip. We missed him, but knew that he was in good hands! I highly recommend Marta and will definitely take Charlie back when needed! Thank you Marta for everything!”
“This was my first experience with a dog sitter. I could not have left my dog in better hands! Lots of updates, pictures and even a video were sent to me. While I expected my dog to be a bit depressed in my absence, Alicia filled my shoes perfectly. My dog took to her and her family right away. She took my dog on lots of walks and gave her lots of cuddles ...honestly - she did more than I do. Alicia has a nice backyard in which dogs can play. I definitely will use Alicia again if I need a dog sitter.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and it was absolutely wonderful! We have an older dog and she is both blind and deaf and Katelyn took such good care of her. She welcomed her into her home and treated her as if she were her own. Her communication was great. We received pictures/videos/updates several times a day. We will definitely use Katelyn again and highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Fantastic - Amazing - Wonderful! Yukia was a great communicator from the start. We talked before we brought our rascal over. We even did a meet and greet just to make sure he would take to her - and he sure did! During our trip she sent daily photos and updates, and our kids could not wait to get them every day. I could tell when I went to pick him up that he was very happy to be with her. For a quick moment he could not decide if he wanted to stay with her or come back home. It was his first time with someone else and she obviously took great care of him. There is no doubt that we have found our pet sitter for good!”
“Angela was so very warm, welcoming, and kind to our puppy. Minnie took to her right away, and because of the meet and greet, she knew exactly where we were going when we dropped her off. Angela was very thorough, asking all the important questions, and she even let my daughter visit to say hi to Minnie.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy to have come across this site and even happier to have come across Ms. Estela. We had an absolute wonderful experience with her. From the beginning she was very friendly, helpful, and communicative. She provided updates and daily pictures of Santy and kept us informed of his well being. As much as we were anxious leaving our dog behind for few days, she made us feel comfortable that he was in good hands. There are no words that could describe my gratitude for Estela’s service. I would definitely be using her service in the near future and 100% recommend her to anyone that needs a loving animal care taker.”
“Kiki is the best! She is flexible, responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind. Finley clearly had a great time with her and Skittles, and I really appreciated the regular updates- it made me feel like he was safe, happy, and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend!”

“Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.”

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 currently am working part time and doing school virtually so I have a very flexible schedule that would allow me plenty of time to help care for your babies! I’ve had 10 plus years experience with pet sitting so have had to handle many different situations that have made me a better sitter. I’m prepared for anything and love these pets as my own!
“Have had Jessica walk our dogs and also provide drop in visits while we were on vacation. She does a great job, lots of pics and our dogs love her. Would not hesitate to hire her again! Iggy and Obi love her.”
About: Hello! I’m a college students who has always had a soft spot for animals. I’ve had 2 dogs of my own; Hunter was a black lab German shepherd mix and Bear was a Yorkshire mix. I took care of my friend’s dog, Harley who is a dachshund mix, when they needed help. Hunter had a couple of medical issues so I’m well versed in giving medication to dogs. Both of my dogs were super reactive so I also have experience in that area aswell. Harley is a senior dog so I make sure he gets what he needs adequately. I’m a college who loves being active! Having the opportunity to be with dogs, getting more steps in, and getting paid is like hitting three birds with one stone. So that means I’m available every day for the summer! I’ve had big and small dogs previously myself and I have also taken care of my friend’s dogs as well. I enjoy spending time with animals and playing with them! I’m currently in a apartment so boarding is not suitable for me or your dogs, however, drop-ins and walking are well within my schedule.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who grew up with 3 dogs, and regularly pet sit for friends and family before deciding to make it official. Friends often call me an animal whisperer because even shy or nervous pets tend to warm up to me quickly. I work remotely, and am very active, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention (and activity)! I work remotely and have very flexible hours, so your pet will have plenty of time, walking, snuggling, and being active. I also attend run clubs where pets are allowed, so if your fur baby is social, I’ll happily take them! I have a backyard, and live in a community with plenty areas to walk and sniff. Pets are welcome to be on furniture and in bed! I’m an excellent communicator, and will work collaboratively with you to determine the best care plan for your pet.
About: I've had dogs since I was a kid an have pet sit for people since I was about 13 years old. In my own life I have had and trained 3 puppies of my own (Tootsie is still currently in the training works). The most dogs I've watched in one household was four, one golden retriever rescue, one Labrador rescue, and two beagle mix rescues. I've worked with several different breeds of dogs over the years including pit bull mixes, pugs, labs, retrievers, beagles, great danes, etc. I currently am taking some time off from working as a Senior Accountant so have availability all day everyday for the most part, when im not spending time with my pets and hubby that is. 🥰 When I do drop in visits I follow what is requested for dogs regarding feeding time/walking habits. I normally talk to them because well idk, I talk to my pets because thats what you do as a pet person. 😂
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 3 years, giving me daily, real‑world experience with feeding routines, walks, training, and managing anxiety. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their people are away. I work during the day, but I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, and on most holidays. I make time to ensure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship while they’re in my care. I’ve owned my own dog for the past three years and have experience living with two dogs and three cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I prioritize their safety by following your care instructions, maintaining their feeding and potty schedules, keeping a clean and secure environment, and providing plenty of supervision, affection, and exercise. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years, including having my own dogs. I am a travel nurse and I usually volunteer to walk dogs at shelters when I’m on assignment. I work full time as a nurse, but I only work 3 days a week. My schedule is usually free on the 4 days a week that I’m off of work. I am currently living in an apartment while on assignment in North Beach, Md, so I can only take car of pets in your own home.
About: Hi! I’m Jessie and I’m a lifelong animal lover I have even been called a cat whisperer.

I treat every pet like my own with kindness, patience, and all of the love. I have experience with a wide range of temperament from anxious animals to high energy animals. I will make sure I take the time to make sure your pet is comfortable with me and make sure I prioritize their routine. ✅Patient with all animals ✅Experience with medication administration ✅Flexible availability for daily drop in visits ✅Will provide photos and updates with every visit I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day.

I offer drop-in visits only and I take the responsibility of entering your home seriously.

My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment and giving you peace of mind that both your pet and your home are in good hands

“This was our first time using Rover so we were nervous about leaving our fur baby with a Stanger in their home. Well Mady met and exceeded our expectations! We have a 96 pound Rottweiler and Mady loved on her and she enjoyed spending time with their dog Radar! She has a clean and spacious fenced in back yard and also took Stormy on nice walks! There were also toys there to keep Stormy occupied and happy. Mady followed our instructions exactly as it relates to her care. She sent pictures and videos which kept us from worrying! We highly recommend Mady, it’s clear this is not just a business for Mady, she truly has a love for dogs!”
“After a meet and greet we decided to do an overnight trial and our dog loved it! The whole family is very warm and inviting and our dog felt at home the moment he walked in the door. Their house has a nice fenced in backyard as a plus. We have already booked our summer vacation and plan on booking other trips as well. Very happy to have found such a perfect fit.”
“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. 🫶🫶🫶”
“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”
“Marta was fantastic with our 6-month-old Basset Hound, Charlie!! It was my first time ever leaving a pet with anyone and she made it so easy. I received multiple updates each day with pictures, videos and text. It was great to see him with his new friends having such a good time! When I picked Charlie up, five days later, I told her that I never worried about him the entire trip. We missed him, but knew that he was in good hands! I highly recommend Marta and will definitely take Charlie back when needed! Thank you Marta for everything!”
“Fantastic - Amazing - Wonderful! Yukia was a great communicator from the start. We talked before we brought our rascal over. We even did a meet and greet just to make sure he would take to her - and he sure did! During our trip she sent daily photos and updates, and our kids could not wait to get them every day. I could tell when I went to pick him up that he was very happy to be with her. For a quick moment he could not decide if he wanted to stay with her or come back home. It was his first time with someone else and she obviously took great care of him. There is no doubt that we have found our pet sitter for good!”
“Kiki is the best! She is flexible, responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind. Finley clearly had a great time with her and Skittles, and I really appreciated the regular updates- it made me feel like he was safe, happy, and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“This is our first time using Rover and Bria was a great! We left our 2 year old shiba inu with her for a whole week. She was very good with her, provided us with pictures and regular updates. We were able to do the drop off and pick up without any issue. We were hesitant to leave our dog since we know she can be flight risk (shiba trait) but Bria ensured us she would take extra care and we left on a family vacation assured. We would recommend Bria and would not hesitate to have her dog sit again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”

“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Christian was amazing! Accepted my sitting request with pretty short notice after I found out my roommate wouldn’t be able to watch my dog. She also gladly watched my dog for an extra night than was originally planned when my flight got delayed. She sent me frequent updates and pictures of my dog, and it was obvious he was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again!”
“My dog Moon loved his visit with Denise and her dog Andy. Decent size fenced in yard for play, which my dog loved. Updates and pictures were sent. Moon even ate his food while there which he rarely does even for his normal sitter. I should mention she is very accommodating. I was a last minute request and my hours for pickup and drop-off were odd. Would definitely use Denise again.”
“Christian was very kind and understanding. There were a few unforeseen circumstances that came up last minute, but still she was able to make it work by providing the best type of service. She is very responsive and accommodating.”
