“Katelyn is amazing and helped our family on short notice when we had to fly to another state for a funeral. She took amazing care of Gary and he was well-loved by her children and her husky, Balto. I highly recommend her!”
“Shuling was amazing! She sent us pictures and videos the whole time and made it easier to be apart from our pup. Bailey had a great time playing with the host’s dog and family. Honestly, it looked like a summer camp for the doggies :) 100% recommend her and will use her services again. Jake and Ana”
“Michelle took care of my dog, Sophie, while I was visiting my family in Boston for four days, and she was great! She sent me updates and pictures daily and gave me prompt responses when I asked her questions. Sophie had a great time with her new friends, Tanner and Rosie! I appreciate Michelle sleeping with Sophie and giving her a lot of love while I was out of town. I highly recommended her!!”
“Luba & James were great with our Penny! They were flexible, communicated quickly, and sent lots of photos. They watched her for our wedding weekend and coordinated the pick-up and drop-off of Penny to attend the wedding. Their dog Nellie was very sweet and easy going. We would use them again in the future!”
“Dana is the perfect fit for our little nervous Annie. Dana respected my wishes and took extra time to make Annie comfortable. She even allowed our pup to sleep with her. I loved getting pictures and updates. We have been doing a few trial visits and now I have NO hesitation in using her for the week we go on vacation. Thank you Dana!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Debra. She was AMAZING. Communicated with me often throughout her stay, sent pictures and loved my baby like I would. I was nervous to leave her with someone else for the first time but Debra made me feel comfortable. Thanks so much Debra!!”
“Kimberly and her family made Ruthie fe right at home and provided her with a home away from home! They were so kind and accommodating to her. Ruthie gets anxious knowing kennels and sometimes doesn’t like other dogs, so this is the perfect solution for her. She was treated like family! We will definitely be back!”
“Yukia was awesome! My dog left her house very happy. She took him on walks and he got to play with other dogs. She also worked with me and added an extra day when I realized I messed up the schedule. I highly recommend Yukia.”
“Liz and Jeff C provided outstanding and caring support and boarding for my senior Samoyed Sooki. There is not enough space here to describe everything they did to support Sooki and our family. Sooki has substantial and sometimes unpredictable health challenges. Liz, Jeff , and their sons provided EVERYTHING Sooki needed and more.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Janice and Stalio! They didn’t balk at any of our special requests, of which there were several including giving meds, medicated baths, belly band changes and not leaving our Chihuahua alone, and without a lap for too long. The dogs didn’t greet us with their usual excitement when we returned, which we take to mean that they were spoiled beyond belief. We are supremely grateful to have found J & S!”
“Robin accepted my Khloe and Kai with last min notice. She sent pics of my fur babies having a good ole time. She has great space and a lot of love.”
“This was Tytus' first time away from us since his birth almost 5 years ago. Angela gave us a since of peace and comfort by providing us daily updates via text, photos, and videos. She and her daughter took great care of Tytus with giving him lots of love and hugs, which his very spoiled sweet spirit demands. I've already booked my next appointment and I would highly recommend her multiple services, which are flexible and reasonable. Thank you Angela for your exceptional service!”
“Steve and Ginnie were excellent hosts. During Badru's stay, they shared plenty of updates and treated him like a member of the family. He so enjoyed his stay, he did not want to return home: that's great!”
“LC had a WONDERFUL time with Erin & her pup!!! We will definitely be hitting Erin up again when we need a dogsitter. She is the nicest person EVER! She is just WONDERFUL!”
“Brittany did an outstanding job. She was very friendly, loving, and professional. She sent me pics everyday and responded to my texts messages. I would not hesitate to utilize her services again. My dog had a great time playing with other dogs under her care. Thank you Brittany for loving my dog”
“Ahhhmazing!!! Michelle will absolutely be our go to dog sitter! Oliver is still a puppy so he is high energy and still working on his potty training. This was our first time using rover and his first time away from us. Michelle took care of him above and beyond our expectations! She sent us model pictures of him daily (much better than he lets us take of him, so we have new profile pics of him, lol!) She provided daily updates with the pics too, all of which gave us complete peace of mind! We couldn’t have had a better experience and that made our vacation that much more relaxing. We are extremely thankful to Michelle for treating Oliver like her own! 😊”
“Our dogs love Kelly and George!!! They are communicative and sent us so many photos of our dogs having fun and relaxing. They are truly treated like family here!”

“Megan had great communication during the booking experience and accommodated our need to change the date of the Meet and Greet. She was very friendly and professional when she came over to meet us and Frank. She double checked and confirmed all information. She sent us pictures during her time watching Frank. She made sure to play with Frank in front of the PetCam so we could see him being cute. He was healthy and content when we returned home. We would be happy to ask Megan to watch Frank again in the future!”
“Cassie did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for a few days. The cats were relaxed when we saw them on camera and when we came back. Cassie took care of everything and was very reliable and communicative. I definitely will hire her again; even my shy cat let her pet her which is unusual!”
“Brandi was very sweet with our two cats. She cared for them just like we do. I can't thank her enough for taking care of our babies. We just moved to the area, so our two social cats definitely needed some attention while we were out of town. Thank you! We will definitely be looking to book Brandi again the next time we need someone.”
“Jaclyn was great with my cat, Bella. She came at all the right times, made sure she was fed and had enough water, checked her litter every day, spent time, and played with her. I got plenty of pictures reassuring me that she was well taken care of. I would definitely seek out her services should I travel again.”
About: I first fell in love with cats when I was 14 years old and over the years I have come to appreciate the unique personality each feline brings. From curious kittens to wise senior cats, I provide gentle, attentive care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to create a calm and nurturing environment where every cat can truly thrive.
“Scheduling a booking with Becky was so easy and she came when she said she would, was respectful, and took fantastic care of my cat, Jujubee. I will absolutely book with her again in the future.”
“Absolutely wonderful! She was informative and patient with this anxious cat mom. Recognized the signs when my cat with urinary issues was in pain, let me know of the behaviors, and gave meds per instructions. Even got my sure skittish older cat to stop hiding and even got her to accept pets. Totally impressed! She really cares about the fur babies! THANK YOU Aimee!”
About: As a pet lover and owner, I understand the level of care and security pet owners desire. I am patient with pets, understand their needs, and will give them plenty of exercise (as desired) and attention. Whether you need me to visit your pet's home or drop them off at mine, I am glad to help. If you would like me to house your pet, I have plenty of room as well as a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run. There is also a bike trail nearby I would love to take your pet on if they enjoys walks. I currently have a small dog, but have owned other dogs before as well including a large dog, rabbits, a scorpion, and birds. I'm a quick at responding, so feel free to reach out whenever you may have a pet need. As a student, I have flexible hours and more availability than perhaps the average employee. I make it a point to take my own dog, Snickers on a walk at least once a day as well as playing fetch with her. I'd be happy to help keep your pet entertained as well. I have a comfortable home with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, and can make accomodations according to your pet's needs. I have a large basement in addition to a fenced in backyard, with plenty of room for them to run around. Have toys to provide as well to keep them entertained. I can provide a regular schedule for your pet to make sure they receive the care that works best for them. As a student, I can provide flexibility in regards to making home visits as well at providing care at my home if desired. I am just looking to help others with their pets. Please let me know any specifics or concerns you may have with what your pet may need.
“Jacob did a great job taking care of Gunner! He was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout his stay. We really appreciated the great care and would definitely recommend Jacob!”
“10/10, I would absolutely book with her again! She made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Communication was excellent, everything went smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend her to others.”
“Owen was so kind, patient and helpful while we were away. He took care of everything that we asked and went above and beyond. Thank you so much! Definitely recommend working with him.”
“Alex and Andrea were so helpful with my cats while I was away, even after I accidentally gave them the wrong address. They went above and beyond while doing everything I asked, even bringing in a package and moving the cat feeder for me. Thank you so much!”
“We have used Allison twice to take care of our elderly cat when we have gone out of town. Sometimes she spends the night and sometimes she visits for a few hours each day. We feel better knowing that our cat is being taken care of so well while we are out of town. Thank you Allison!”
“Megan was an amazing caretaker of my cat. She was very attentive to detail and her visits provided the comfort my senior cat was longing for while I was away for six nights. I’m looking forward to provide her services whenever I’ll be out of town.”
“Mackenzie was great! She connected with our cats so well and captured their personalities in daily update photos. Mackenzie is very responsive and reliable and we will be reaching out to her again. Thanks Mackenzie!!”
“Courtney was absolutely amazing. She sent plenty of photos along with thoughtful, detailed updates, and my cat clearly adored her. I’m so grateful for her — especially for being so flexible on such short notice. I would book her again in a heartbeat, 1000%!”

“Maggie had a great time having a calm day with Dana instead of staying home for our 3 year old daughter’s birthday party (with 12 other 3 year olds!) - Dana was really responsive and very responsible and Maggie was so happy!”
“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”

About: Hello, I am here to make sure your fur baby is safe and comfortable while you are away. With 8+ years of experience I have learned that every furry friend is different. Different distractions, different tastes, different attitudes but one thing each furry friend can’t resist is love and attention. Some positive energy is all a friend needs to enjoy the company of a new friend. I will cater to our furry friends as needed and instructed by you. Maybe there is a medication time we need to fit in or even some training you guys are working on. I am more than happy to stay consistent with whatever is going on in the daily routine. I work with all ages and sizes. Dogs and cats are all welcome❤️ Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my daily routine haha. I work from home and I have a lot of extra time to provide love and attention. I am practically home 24/7 and thats the way I like it❤️ I am always available if your fur baby wants to tag along around the house. I have crates if a friend needs to be crated or separated in another room. Always keeping a friendly calm environment. I live in a 3 level home with a nice yard for some exercise. Also, the neighborhood has a nice trail for some walks.
“Absolutely wonderful ! Walked my dog twice .it was my first time using rover in a new state and Benjamin was a delight. I will be rebooking when I’m in the area again ! Thanks so much for taking such good care of my pup”
“Alexis is AMAZING! She is so kind and wonderful. A true gem. Remi loved her instantly. She treats him as if he is her own and completely goes above and beyond as any pet parent would! She is now part of our family. ☺️”
“My puppy goes to daycare at Ashley's house once a week. Ashley takes really good care of my puppy and keeps me updated with photos and how things are going. She is also very quick to respond to my requests.”
“We had such a great experience with this daycare! They were absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and clearly loves what they do. Saint had the best time and really bonded with their dog, Kai. They went on walks, played together, and even had time to rest and nap, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in such good hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Poppy gets excited to get to Crissy's house and enjoys her time with Dublin. Crissy is flexible on timing when I've bumped into conflicts, and adjusting recurring days.”
“Being a travel nurse is sometimes a little more difficult with a dog, finding new dog sitters for George in a new city can be hard since I work 12 hour days. Veronica and Caleb have been extremely understanding and flexible with drop off and pick up times. They are great with communication and send updates/pictures of George frequently. I couldn’t have found better people to take care of him in Baltimore while I work. Extremely grateful for all they do!”
“Kelly took amazing care of our puppy Murphy!! She sent me many photos and videos throughout the day, she took the dogs on long walks and gave them lots of playtime, she made sure my puppy had time to take a nap, and she was very responsive. Kelly and her dog Callie are incredibly sweet and I give them my highest recommendation!! We hope that Murphy will return to play soon!”
“Brittany is the seriously best! She took care of my 2 year old labradoodle, and it was clear from the photos that my dog was having the time of her life in her big backyard and welcoming environment. Thank you, Brittany!”
“Kacie is amazing!!!! This is the first Wag daycare where my pup came home totally exhausted! She went on walks and got to go to the dog park. Thanks for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Liz and Jeffery were amazing sitters for my sweet Sadie. I was in the area for work and found them to watch my dog during the day. They went above and beyond to make sure that Sadie was comfortable and well taken care of while I was at work. They truly treated Sadie like she was part of their own family. Sadie was always so happy to go to doggy day care in the morning. If I am ever back in the area, I will definitely book with Liz and Jeffery for any type of care they provide.”
About: This young adult is filled with energy, patience and love! I have owned a dog since I was a child and tried to open a mini petting rescue zoo in my moms barn . It worked until I had to actually adult and pay my own bills . I love giving one in one attention and healthy treats . My availability is flexible due to working around my human patients . I value bedside mannerisms and do believe they don’t just apply to two legged friends. I have been known for my cautious and preventative decision making skills ! My temperament is easy going but firm because if not, all paws will break loose! Seriously , I would have 100 dogs at home if possible. I am currently working part time and from home . I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and love deserving ! I have a mini fenced in area in my back yard that my own pup adores. It is just enough space to get the job done and provide leg room. I live in walking distance to three huge parks, and on leash we will have a wonderful time.

“Owen is reliable, kind and trustworthy. He shows up, gives my dog a good walk regardless of the weather, and responds quickly. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs a walker.”
“Jaclyn needs a cape for being a superhero! She made our pup's day. She was super on it with photos, communication and being patient/understanding. We'll be back!”
About: I have taken care of different types of dogs and including in home stay, walks, puppies etc and had my own dog since I was 12. I have lots of experience in caring for animals from reptiles to mammals. I am very physically active and love to spend time outside so long walks and exercise is both fun for me and your pet. I am currently looking for a part time job my schedule is open for the relative future and any changes to my schedule will be minimal, I am fully available for a consistent walking or care schedule for your pet. I care for my dog with long walks, exercise/play time with his favorite toys or enrichment games. I also have a back and front yard at my house that my dog loves to play in with a park and beach access that allows dogs. When I care for bigger dogs I love to take them to the park in my neighborhood or one nearby to play fetch.
About: Im the better choice when choosing someone to care for your pet because of the genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every cat/dog as if they were my own. I understand that each cat (or dog) deserves individulized care that matches their unique personality, routine, and comfort level. At the moment I am helping take care of my mother which is a full-time, demanding job, but i still have plenty of time to add pet sitting at my residence or yours. My day will require a carefully blending of tasks rather than creating entirely new one. For example, instead of adding a chore to my routine, dog walking simply turns my solo exercise into a shared, high-utility activity, that I can also do with mother. When going to a clients home, I follow every direction. Walking, feeding, playing. I make sure I leave the pets happy, and your house exactly how the client left it. I do not rush the process at all, to make sure I always exceed the clients expectation.
“Emma has been on time with my big guys (Rocko, Atticus, and Axel). We sat down for a “meet and greet” ahead of starting the walks to make sure it was a good fit, and so far it has been great. She will be watching them while I go away; I’m sure they’ll be looking forward to her visit.”
About: I have grown up with Pitbulls and Frenchies my whole life so I am confident that I can take great care of your beloved pet! I work from home and will be with your lively dog all day (unless I need to go out to run an errand) so no need for you to be worried that they’ll be alone! I prefer to crate any dogs that are not mine while I am away from the home just to make sure everyone has their own space. If Dog is not crate trained, then I will place them in a room if I need to leave the house.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, giving lots of attention, and sticking to routines. I’m patient, dependable, and love making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, and keeping pets active and happy. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available during weekdays and weekends for walks, and drop- ins. I’m very reliable and can work around most schedules. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are supervised, secure, and cared for like they are my own. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and will always keep owners updated while their pets are in my care.
“My family loved Allison! She helped to walk both my dogs while I was out of the country. She was able to control my larger dog who suffers from anxiety with other dogs and help give medications to my senior dog. We appreciate her patience and professionalism!”
“Highly recommend Ryan! He took the time to do a meet and greet and really understand my dog’s specific needs. He was very communicative and flexible whenever any changes came up, which I truly appreciated. What stood out most was how he followed my dog’s training routines and even used the exact phrases we’ve been working on. He handled my dog’s reactivity with care and confidence, and it made a huge difference. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands!”
“Always on-time, great communication, flexible, and my dog’s new favorite playmate, Rebecca is professional and comes highly recommended by me…I don’t just trust my puppy-friend-son with anyone.”
About: Ive been around, and taken care of pets for my family/other friends and family for as long as I can remember. I have been trusted with the tasks of walking, grooming, medicating, and making sure the well being of the pet is at its fullest, and if it’s not, I am keen to figure out the problem. I am also very good with pets under the age of 1, as I have assisted in raising 3 litters of dogs of my own. I currently work as a freelance musician, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My availability is very flexible, as the shows I play are in town, and only take up a small part of the day or night, so I will not be away from your pet very long, if at all! I have 5 dogs of my own, who are on a feeding/bathroom schedule that we follow daily. When I take them outside I am with them to make sure they do all they need to do so there are no accidents in the house. When taking care of your pet I will always cater to their need/routine; give them as much space, and or as much love as they need!
About: Hi! I’m Courtney — a true dog lover, experienced pet caregiver, and someone who treats every pet like family. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, couch snuggles, or just a calm and reassuring presence, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. For house sitting, my standard rate includes typical care such as feeding, walks/potty breaks, companionship, overnight care, and lots of love. If your pet requires additional support — including senior care, medication administration, frequent potty breaks (every few hours), mobility assistance, separation anxiety management, or near-constant supervision — please let me know before booking, as these higher-needs situations may require custom pricing to ensure I can provide the level of care your pet deserves. Please be as detailed as possible about your pet’s routine, behaviors, and care needs so I can make sure we’re the right fit. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats being a part of my family since I was a kid who enjoyed giving extra treats to my grandmother's Chow Chow! I have experience with dog walking and pet sitting for friends and family. I have a pretty open weekly schedule as I am currently between jobs. I also have reliable transportation so getting to your pets will be no problem! I will do everything in my power to make sure your pet feels safe and welcome in my company. If this means extra belly rubs or treats, then I can make that happen!

This was our first time using rover and his first time away from us. Michelle took care of him above and beyond our expectations!
