“Megan and Jacob were wonderful hosts for our rambunctious large lab pup!! He was well taken care of and played so well with their cute lab mix! They were very kind and welcoming and calm!! We will be using them again and referring our friends too. This was a trial overnight for longer stays in the future. I loved that they suggested this. Highly recommend!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know how to explain this except: Jess is basically Dodger’s second family now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for the type of sitter who treats your dog like FAMILY…like actual family…Jess is the one. I honestly don’t think Dodger realized he was being “boarded.” He thought he was on vacation with his new cousins, new uncles, and his new favorite person on earth (Dan 😆). From the minute we dropped him off, Jess was so reassuring and kind. She sent constant updates, pictures, and little stories that made my heart feel so much better. And not just “here’s your dog existing” pictures…NO. We’re talking: *Dodger cuddling her husband like they’ve been best buds for 10 years *Dodger snuggled up with her youngest like they were watching Saturday morning cartoons *Dodger and Tanner acting like long-lost brothers reunited *Dodger eating, relaxing, wagging his tail like a helicopter blade *Dodger getting a whole spa bath after rolling in the yard mud 😭💀 He even chewed through a Kong, which honestly deserves its own award. I warned her he was a super chewer, but I don’t think ANYONE was ready for him to destroy the “indestructible” toy. She just laughed and sent pictures like, “Welp, he’s having the time of his life.” 😂 The whole time she made sure I felt comfortable…even when my baby stole my phone and I panicked thinking I missed messages 😅 She was patient, flexible, and genuinely cared about him AND about us. Dodger came home happy, clean, tired, and FULL of love. His tail literally didn’t stop wagging the entire stay. And I’m pretty sure he thinks Jess’s house is his second home now…which I’m honestly fine with, because I know he’s safe and adored there. Jess and her whole family are wonderful, warm people. They treated Dodger like he belonged with them, and that’s all a dog mom could ever want. We will definitely be booking again (unless Dan steals him permanently 😂). Thank you, Jess, for loving our boy so well. He misses you all already! ❤️🐾 P.s thank you for being so accommodating and helpful with his bath, I loved getting to pick him up early and snuggle him with us the moment he came home🥹💕”
“Lucky had a great time with Max and Thomas. He enjoyed playing in the backyard and all the pets. Thank you and I'll definitely rebook again. I appreciate the prompt replies to my texts.”
“Pearl provided outstanding care for our dog once again. Based on how excited is he to be with her, it's obvious that she spoils him with attention. We are incredibly thankful for her dependability and trustworthiness. We know that he gets treated as well as one of Pearl's own and we will count it a blessing to have her care for him again.”
“Gisel and her family took great care of my girl Kola. Kola had a case of severely itchy paws pop up the day before we were set to leave town. I was able to get some meds from the vet before we left. I let Gisel know what was going on with Kola, as she was licking and chewing her paws and they were very red. I kept socks on her paws and gave her Benadryl in between the meds from the vet. Gisel also kept this up for the four days Kola stayed with her family. I was so thankful and appreciative of the extra care Gisel and her family gave Kola. Kola’s itchy paws popped up so last minute and Gisel assured me she would take great care of her and she did just that! I would definitely use Gisel again for Kola!”
“Our other dog passed very recently and has been with Milo for life so leaving him was especially difficult. We typically board and this is our first time using rover. Barbara reassured us and sent photos/updates throughout our time traveling. Response time and communication was top tier. I could tell he felt comfortable and safe in her home and was happy as can be despite the circumstances. I am so happy we opted not to board. 10/10 recommend and would happily work with barb again.”
“Sue was great. My dog got along with her two dogs, and had a nice fenced in yard for them to run and play. She kept me informed and sent me a couple of pics over the week. Havre de Grace isis on the way to the Baltimore airport so very convenient drop off snd pick up. I don’t travel Vera often but will reach out the next time I do.”
“I’ve officially found my permanent pet sitter! Ms. Paris is a very reliable and flexible sitter. She’s very informative and always sends up to date pictures. My dog was very comfortable in her home ☺️”
“Our first stay with Jenn for Pluto and Trevor. We were gone for over a week. We felt very reassured that our boys were well cared for and enjoying their time with the other doggos. Jenn & Rob are very experienced caring for dogs big and small. We will be using their services again.”
“Tabby came through for us when we were in a pinch with finding a place for our two boxers and we are forever thankful.. Our boxers certainly enjoyed their time in her big back yard.”
“Sharon and her family is great. My first impression was that I felt I was dropping my puppy off at my family's house, a place where he would be loved and cared for and not left in a crate while I was away. I've already been there twice and will be going there as long as I can when the need arises. Thank you Sharon!”
“I’m so glad we found Patrick and Bahiya on Rover to take care of our dog. My Loki can be a little “extra” but everything worked out so great and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy our vacation and know he was so taken care of. I can’t thank you enough for the daily updates seeing him so well taken care of.”
“Candice takes excellent care of our little Bailey while we are away! She is very warm & friendly and we feel very comfortable leaving Bailey with her. She always keeps us informed daily with updates and pictures. I would definitely recommend Candice to anyone looking for a reliable & kind pet sitter!”

“It’s been such a pleasure experience having Leigh as a pet sitter for my two babies. She’s very knowledgeable about cats and made my little shy guy comfortable being around her. This is not something many people can do in such a short time. I’ll definitely book with her again.”
“Emily is great with communication, prompt on the days she visits, and follows all instructions to care for our pets (specific foods, prescriptions, etc.). We are so glad we have someone so reliable to take care of our animals while we are away!”
“Mason was a phenomenal pet sitter. She was able to fulfill my need for a pet sitter during a holiday weekend, given less than 2 weeks notice. Mason gave prompt reports on my cat and even fed my aquarium fish and watered my indoor plants. She was patient with my feisty indoor cat, responding mindfully to my cat’s communication cues demanding space. I highly recommend Mason! 5/5 stars”
“Brodi was extremely responsive and accommodating to our last minute cat sitting request due to an emergency, she took excellent care of the cats and gave us peace of mind. She is very reliable and we highly recommend her!”
“Plain & Simple, I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter than Pearl!! She is very invested in the care of my cat- sends pictures & updates... I know my pet is in great hands!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I know some of the vet techs at one place I go were sitters in the past. A few vets mentioned Rover as a possible option before & some other people I know... I came home to find my fur kitties happy & in great condition after a 10-11 day vacation. The house was exactly how I left it. Lauren even went above & beyond for items not expected. I was happy my cats didn’t have to go to a small daycare cage & could be out & about relaxed at home. Plus I didn’t have to worry about them picking up any issues at daycare from other animals, haul them all in their carriers back & forth or stress them out. I have multiple kitties and one with allergies who needed individual feeding attention. My one super shy cat had a tooth concern the night before we left & Lauren was even able to check him, which we were surprised because he lets few close enough. When Lauren came to the house for the first time my usual friendly fur babies came right up to her & were happy with her presence. I received pictures while gone & updates on how everything was going. I would definitely request Lauren again in the future. Thanks so much.”

“Whitney took care of giving medicine to our kitty without any issues. She also helped my disabled house out with some other chores. We really appreciate her help and look forward to having her help us with our kitties in the future!!!”
About: I've had cats since I was born! They're my preferred pets and my favorite clients! I'm skilled in recognizing cat behaviors and body language, and I can care for any cat in any life stage. I can handle any messes, administer medication to the pickiest of cats, and get my job done even if your cat isn't a fan of strangers. I can also administer insulin injections!
About: I have experience caring for cats through pet sitting for family members. I have stayed with and cared for cats for multiple days at a time, making sure they were fed, had fresh water, received attention, and were comfortable while their owners were away. I understand that every cat has a different personality, and I enjoy spending time with them whether they are playful, affectionate, or more independent. I am attentive to their needs and committed to providing a safe, calm, and caring environment while their owners are gone.
“Kyle did a great job in stopping in to check on our Norwegian Forest cat while we were away for a short time. He arrived at the designated time, checked the litter box, checked the food, and most important checked in on the cat and gave him some company. I highly recommend Kyle for his services. James~”
“Beth is the greatest lady we have ever hired to help us with our Kitties. We look forward to her helping us out in the future. We are so lucky to have found Beth through Rover”
About: I treat your pets like my own. I will make sure they are well taken care of while also having a blast while your away. I work part time so I have some flexibility as to when I am available. I do work mostly nights during the week so day time is where I’m usually free. I will come in to your home and follow your instructions. Making sure they are taken care of just as you would take care of them.
“I’m grateful to have returned home to happy and healthy cats, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear they were well cared for in my absence. That said, I did notice an excessive amount of food left in their trays, which suggests my written instructions may not have been entirely clear or closely followed. Next time, I would definitely provide a step-by-step walkthrough of their feeding routine to ensure everything is as straightforward as possible. Overall, I’m thankful for the peace of mind while I was away.”
“Christine took wonderful care of my 3 cats and she kept me informed about their daily activities. These were drop-in visits to my home for 16 days while I was on vacation. Would definitely use her again.”

“My Aggie had a good time with Angela! Everything I was so worried about turned out to be me just being nervous. Aggie had a great day and will be coming back to visit again!”
“As a new client, I’ve had a really positive experience so far with Pearl. From the beginning, she has been professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Even in a short time, my dog seems relaxed and well cared for after spending time with her. Overall, I’m very pleased with the care she’s had provided and would definitely recommend her to others Sylvia A”
“Susan is wonderful, so kind and caring, and I can tell that Finlay loves being at her house. He goes into her home with his tail wagging and always comes home happy and tired. It’s a relief knowing he’s in a warm, loving home while I’m away. Highly recommend Susan.”
“First time allowing my puppy anywhere without me. Rachel updated me with photos of him enjoying himself and when I picked him up he was beat from such a fun fulfilled day! I will use Rachel and her services again!”

Whether your pet enjoys long walks, belly rubs, or quiet cuddle time, I make sure they get the right mix of activity, affection, and space. I offer daily walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays with plenty of love, attention, and care. I also handle feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and medication if needed. Since I work from home, there’s always someone around to provide companionship and ensure your pet is never left alone for long. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate weekday and weekend stays with ease. Pets who come into my home become part of the family, surrounded by kindness, attention, and a whole lot of love. I work from home so can ensure pets are fed, loved, bathed if necessary, and walked accordingly. I walk twice a day, morning and evening. Your pet’s safety and comfort are top priorities.

I have a friendly standard poodle who roams freely on the main level and basement, providing gentle company for visiting pets.

I ask that all visiting pets are house trained, friendly, and up to date on vaccinations, flea, and tick prevention. Please also bring your pet’s bed, toys, and comfort items to help them feel at home.

About: My experience with canines stretches back to my childhood. I've grown up with all different breeds ranging from Rottweiler to Lhasa Apso. I have been lucky enough to spend my life caring for my own pups and I would like to offer my time to allow all pup parents the peice of mind knowing that their fur baby is taken care of. My services will always include a picture of your pup enjoying some interaction time, no matter the service offered. You will have the piece of mind knowing that your pup is in good hands.

About: Growing up I was always involved with the care and grooming of my mother's AKC American Cocker spaniel kennel and quickly fell in love with dogs. I've helped deliver 3 liters of puppies ensuring every fine detail of the process was done properly. I've assisted and led many rescue missions for strays and wildlife. I currently care for three rescue rabbits Layla, Monty, Zuko and one beagle/JackRussell mix, Copper. I'm lucky to have all my pets in my life and they truly enrich our lives for the better. I currently accepted a new job opportunity therefore my schedule is a little odd right now but message me and we can work out the details there. on a leash/harness or lead line in the yard. I do walks and or hikes- weather permitted. Allow outside with supervised fenced in playtime with toys
“Pearl has been so amazing!! She responded in minutes and scheduled a meet and greet for my dogs within 24 hours! I needed dog walking for some days and Pearl was so accommodating on such a short notice. My two dogs we enthusiastic when she got them and definitely got great walks. 100% recommend!”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life, & I can’t wait until I’m in a situation when I can finally have my own dog again. I’m knowledgeable about pet care & animal behavior, have great attention to detail, & enjoy learning more. I love every critter I meet (although I am partial towards chihuahuas & pits) & I have yet to meet a dog that didn’t like me. My family always had dogs growing up, & I have experience caring for a variety of dogs of different ages. I’ve only had two pet dogs that went through their entire life cycle with me, & my most recent doggo was a shitzu who came to me when she was 11. I spent her last few years trying to make her as comfortable & happy as possible. That’s the goal for every animal I care for. While this is obviously a job, & I do need the money, I genuinely enjoy getting to be helpful, to make someone’s life easier, & to, of course, spend time with dogs. I figure if I have to have a side hustle, it should at least be rewarding!! Thanks for reading!! I am a waitress- I usually work full-time, but it’s the slow season & we have a server surplus at the moment. I’m currently only scheduled for 3 night shifts a week, so my schedule is pretty open. Even on the days I do work, I would be able to check-in & care for the dogs before I go in, & can check on them afterwards as well if needed. Basically, I currently have plenty of time to fit in pet care. I am comfortable staying at someone else’s place; it would be nice to have a change of scenery every once in a while. Of course, I will treat your house with respect & be sure to leave it as it was when I arrived! If they wanna chill & sleep, that’s fine with me, but if they’re really active & need to play, I will play fetch & tug-o-war for hours on end. I have a car & supplies to take care of a dog if it is needed (snacks, poop bags, leash, blankets, first aid kit). I’m familiar with dog breeds & behavior & am aware of different training techniques so I’m not worried about being able to manage any dog- like getting them in their crate at the end of the night, or establishing a relationship with them, etc. I will care for your pet the way you want, but above all I will always care for an animal with the utmost respect & love, 💕
About: I have taken care of many of my friends and family pets (both dogs and cats) when they go out of town, including seniors that needed medication. I am currently job hunting and would have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I can take your dog for a walk/let them out for potty breaks, feed, scoop litter, play, and just love on your pets! I am a young professional, very trustworthy, and have overnight dog sat for many friends (once for a whole month). I would love to have a chance to meet you and your pets!
About: I’ve have over six years of pet and house sitting experience. As a pet owner myself, I understand and provide the attention, responsibility, and kindness need to take care of animals. I have experience with working with animals who have anxiety snd other behavioral concerns should that be a need. I have flexibility in my schedule as I am a local college student. I am currently a part time employee but have plenty of time to attain to the needs or your pets! I am available for boarding weekends and weekdays as well as any other service you may need! I care for my pets with the utmost love, comfort, and kindness, in which I will also do with your four-legged friend! No matter the service, you pets will be in the great hands!
“Angela was right on time and very friendly with Rosie and with me. She seemed very confident about taking Rosie out. So appreciative if having someone trustworthy and kind handling my dog”
About: I treat your pets like my own. I will make sure they are well taken care of while also having a blast while your away. I work part time so I have some flexibility as to when I am available.

About: Animals have been my life since before I could walk! I've cared for all sorts of animals in all life stages, and I've worked in pet retail, pet care, and more recently in beginner vet care! I do best with older dogs but I can handle puppies and seniors, and I can administer medications from pills to insulin injections! I have my own pets, so what's the harm in caring for a few more? Given proper advance notice, I will fit your furry friends into my schedule and make sure they get the best care possible! Going away and leaving your best friends behind can be scary and nerve-wracking! I prefer visiting your home when caring for your pets, as it's an environment your animal has already established as a safe place! As a fellow pet parent, I'm happy to say that I'm very much a helicopter pet-sitter. If I notice anything slightly off I will never hesitate to let you know! It's always better to be safe than sorry. I will use my experience in the pet care and vet field to make sure your loved one is safe and happy while you're away!
About: I’ve had a dog (and cat) in my household since childhood, I’ve cared for my own dog since 2021 and I’ve watched over friends’ and family’s dogs since 2019 I would love to care for your pet any time midday or evening! Let’s both enjoy the sunshine and a nice healthy walk together ☺️ If you hire me to check in on your pet, I will feed them, change their water, follow any special instructions and walk/play with them! I’d treat your furbaby like I treat my own!
“Kyle is fantastic! He has a genuine love for animals, and it shows. My 18-month-old terrier is reactive to other dogs, pulls on the leash and can get unruly. Yet Kyle treats him with incredible patience and kindness. Kyle knows dogs intuitively and he really understands my dog's behavior. I cannot recommend him enough. He has been rock-solid as far as reliability, and he also has been flexible when I needed to modify our schedule. Kyle is calm, experienced, and goes above and beyond to take care of my dog Max. I have full confidence in Kyle, and you'll be happy if you entrust your pet with him!”

My schedule is very flexible, and we can always talk about what times work best for you and your pet’s needs. I am well-versed in the animal language. Having many pets of my own and other experiences with animals, I can understand exactly what your pet needs. I am a fun loving person that has lots of love and comfort for your animal!
“Brodi was awesome. Normally my dogs take a little bit to warm up to someone but they instantly loved her. She was punctual and the dogs loved going out with her.”
About: Welcome and thank you for your consideration! I encourage any questions you may have about the type of care I provide or my experience. I strive to be a dependable, reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgable caretaker. I believe in providing the level of care, respect, and attention to detail that I would personally insist upon for my own pets. Why I may be a good fit for you: ✨ Previous experience working in a veterinary clinic, including administering oral, topical, and injected medications. ✨ Experienced with "difficult" cases such as fearful, nervous, or spicy personalities, senior /disabled pet care, or homes with multiple animal species. ✨ I take on limited numbers of clients at a time to ensure that I'm able to commit undivided attention instead of rushing to beat the clock. ✨ 100% supportive of indoor and outdoor cameras -- the more the merrier! I work my primary job from home so my schedule is able to adjust pretty well to accommodate all of my client's schedules and needs. I do not over book myself to avoid issues with emergencies, other visits running over time, etc. I do start a timer at the beginning of the visits, but I do not intently stare at it or scramble to leave as soon as the time is up. I have a questionnaire that I ask all current and future clients to fill out. It asks about feeding, schedule, behavior, quirks, exercise, hiding places, trash bins, etc. to ensure that I can be prepared to handle anything that comes up. For example, I follow your instructions to the T with regards to feeding, whether it's wet, dry, raw, mixed, home cooked, or something in between.
About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience working in veterinary hospitals and doggy daycare settings. I’ve learned how to safely handle dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also have a strong interest in pet nutrition and overall wellness, which helps me pay attention to the little details that keep pets healthy and happy. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, keeping up with routines, or just spending time giving them attention and comfort, I always treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet! I'm a full-time college student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I can do same day walks/sittings, and I love to take care of animals whenever I can! I treat every animal like they are my own. This is something that is super important to me - treat every animal how you want to be treated, or how you'd treat your own!
“Elizabeth helped us out when we really needed someone to check on our puppy twice each day! She offered to come by to meet Oakley before her first visit, which I thought was great. We will definitely be booking her in the future! :)”
About: I’ve had dogs of every kind growing up! Also as a military brat I’ve taken care of dogs in all types of situations and places. Whatever you and your dog needs to feel safe and comfortable I will do! I’m currently out for the summer from college, so I figured pet care would be a great thing for me to do while I’m here! I take my dog for walks, feed him, and play with him everyday! I’ll do whatever you need me to do for your pets, in your house!
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have been a pet parent for many years to a number of rescue and foster dogs and cats. I have experience with large dogs, elderly dogs, puppies, and dogs with anxiety and separation anxiety. I love being around animals and treat them like my own fur-babies. I currently have two dogs of my own (Gunnar a lab/plott hound mix and Bella a plott hound/coonhound mix). I love to hike so long walks to exercise your pup are not an issue for me. I work from home full time so that gives me lots of flexibility for pet care both weekdays and weekends for house sitting and drop in visits or walks. I can take small dogs in home if they are okay with two other dogs (medium size and large). I don't have a fenced in yard but we take multiple walks per day through our nearby trails. In your home, I respect your house rules and preferences to leave a zero footprint after each sitting. Happy to support any enrichment activities your pet needs and give them lots of love and sniffy walks.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life. I’ve raised a family dog from a puppy, fostered and helped train seeing eye puppies, and have experience with dogs who need extra patience and consistency. I also fostered—and ultimately adopted—our current dog, so I truly understand the commitment and care pets need to feel safe and loved. Because of this, I’m comfortable with puppy routines, basic training reinforcement, and providing a calm, supportive environment for dogs with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making them feel happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. As a teacher on summer break, I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available for daytime, evening, and weekend care, and can accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I’ll follow your schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they need, and of course give them lots of attention and love. If they’re staying with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a safe, relaxed space, plenty of playtime, and also time to just chill. I’ll also send updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing while you’re away 😊

“Megan and Jacob were wonderful hosts for our rambunctious large lab pup!! He was well taken care of and played so well with their cute lab mix! They were very kind and welcoming and calm!! We will be using them again and referring our friends too. This was a trial overnight for longer stays in the future. I loved that they suggested this. Highly recommend!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know how to explain this except: Jess is basically Dodger’s second family now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for the type of sitter who treats your dog like FAMILY…like actual family…Jess is the one. I honestly don’t think Dodger realized he was being “boarded.” He thought he was on vacation with his new cousins, new uncles, and his new favorite person on earth (Dan 😆). From the minute we dropped him off, Jess was so reassuring and kind. She sent constant updates, pictures, and little stories that made my heart feel so much better. And not just “here’s your dog existing” pictures…NO. We’re talking: *Dodger cuddling her husband like they’ve been best buds for 10 years *Dodger snuggled up with her youngest like they were watching Saturday morning cartoons *Dodger and Tanner acting like long-lost brothers reunited *Dodger eating, relaxing, wagging his tail like a helicopter blade *Dodger getting a whole spa bath after rolling in the yard mud 😭💀 He even chewed through a Kong, which honestly deserves its own award. I warned her he was a super chewer, but I don’t think ANYONE was ready for him to destroy the “indestructible” toy. She just laughed and sent pictures like, “Welp, he’s having the time of his life.” 😂 The whole time she made sure I felt comfortable…even when my baby stole my phone and I panicked thinking I missed messages 😅 She was patient, flexible, and genuinely cared about him AND about us. Dodger came home happy, clean, tired, and FULL of love. His tail literally didn’t stop wagging the entire stay. And I’m pretty sure he thinks Jess’s house is his second home now…which I’m honestly fine with, because I know he’s safe and adored there. Jess and her whole family are wonderful, warm people. They treated Dodger like he belonged with them, and that’s all a dog mom could ever want. We will definitely be booking again (unless Dan steals him permanently 😂). Thank you, Jess, for loving our boy so well. He misses you all already! ❤️🐾 P.s thank you for being so accommodating and helpful with his bath, I loved getting to pick him up early and snuggle him with us the moment he came home🥹💕”
“Lucky had a great time with Max and Thomas. He enjoyed playing in the backyard and all the pets. Thank you and I'll definitely rebook again. I appreciate the prompt replies to my texts.”
“Pearl provided outstanding care for our dog once again. Based on how excited is he to be with her, it's obvious that she spoils him with attention. We are incredibly thankful for her dependability and trustworthiness. We know that he gets treated as well as one of Pearl's own and we will count it a blessing to have her care for him again.”
“Our first stay with Jenn for Pluto and Trevor. We were gone for over a week. We felt very reassured that our boys were well cared for and enjoying their time with the other doggos. Jenn & Rob are very experienced caring for dogs big and small. We will be using their services again.”
“Tabby came through for us when we were in a pinch with finding a place for our two boxers and we are forever thankful.. Our boxers certainly enjoyed their time in her big back yard.”
“Sharon and her family is great. My first impression was that I felt I was dropping my puppy off at my family's house, a place where he would be loved and cared for and not left in a crate while I was away. I've already been there twice and will be going there as long as I can when the need arises. Thank you Sharon!”
“I’m so glad we found Patrick and Bahiya on Rover to take care of our dog. My Loki can be a little “extra” but everything worked out so great and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy our vacation and know he was so taken care of. I can’t thank you enough for the daily updates seeing him so well taken care of.”
“Finn had another wonderful stay with Melanie! We loved the picture & video updates and felt at ease while we were away. My dog seems very comfortable at her house and loves playing with her pup!”
“I want to express my sincere gratitude to Justin & Stephanie for the outstanding pet sitting service they provided. They went above and beyond to ensure that Prince was well taken care of during my absence. Their regular picture updates and communication gave me peace of mind, and it was evident that Prince was in good hands. Prince returned home happy and healthy, which speaks volumes about the quality of care they provided. I highly recommend Justin & Stephanie to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Have left our little boy Brady with them multiple times and its obvious he looks forward to his time with them. He always comes home tired from so much playtime. Can not recommend them enough. It's Brady's home away from home!”
“Absolutely fantastic! They took great care of Dofus. Alexandra texted me updates and pictures. I was able to enjoy my time without worrying about him. Thank you. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using the Rover app and meeting Megan and Vince. They are a wonderful couple who are dedicated to furry friends. They watched our two dogs, Harper and Elsie from Friday morning until Monday afternoon and they sent us lots of pictures and videos. I must say both dogs looked extremely happy and tired. I will definitely be contacting them again for future dates and will be sad if they're not available.”
