“Curtis and Lindsay were great, sharing pictures and communicating the whole time we were away. Our pup appeared content, happy and tired out when we brought her home. Would definitely recommend!”
“Brianna is amazing! I felt like my dog was in safe hands the entire weekend. She was very communicative and always sent us photos of Teddy and her hiking, hanging out and playing. We highly recommend her for watching your fur baby!”
“Poh was lovely! I was going out of town last minute and therefore needed a last minute booking and Poh was available with fast response times as well. She has great rates and took amazing care of my dog, she even offers grooming and cut my pups nails over the weekend! She sent daily photos/videos of my pup with others, and took great care of him. Her dogs are also adorable and well behaved. Very kind and professional boarder, we will definitely rebook in the future whenever he requires a home away from home!”
“Samantha is truly a gem and cared for my dog like her own. She sent regular pics and videos. My dog felt at ease for 5 days with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her!!”
“Ashley and Joshua took great care of our Archie! There was daily communication with pictures for us to see our little guy. It was nice to know that he was being taken care of so well while we were away. It helped us enjoy our vacation more! We will definitely be using Ashley and Joshua again! Thank you so much!!”
“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! ?”
“This was Rui’s second stay with James and Mary. Mary and James take such great care of our boy when we are out of town. Rui loves them and looks forward to staying with them.”
“I was very happy with Emmy’s first boarding experience with Sophia. She provided quick communication and pictures/videos each day. Emmy enjoyed the walks and fenced backyard. I plan to use Sophia for my future trips.”
“Auana was excellent! My puppy was in great hands, she is super responsive and gave me updates throughout my dog’s stay with her. Her willingness to follow my dog’s care plan was extra comforting. Will be booking her again!”
“Evvery took such great care of our dog Freya. I could tell through pictures and videos that Freya settled in comfortably. Evvery sent updates and pictures each day. I’m so happy Freya had a home away from home while my family was traveling. Knowing your pet is well taken care of is such a relief.”
“Piero and his family did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. They were willing to accommodate my dogs’ feeding and potty habits, but I also trusted them to do what would work best and what fit with the household’s vibe while my dogs were their guests. Communication was great, and they sent photos and videos of the dogs’ stay. Would definitely use Piero for boarding or grooming again!”
“Julijai kept us updated with photos and videos of how our dog was doing. He had a great time playing in the backyard and hanging out on the couch. Would absolutely book again.”
“Marylee did a great job of sending pics of my pup while he enjoyed the deck and some quality window watching. She wrote us a wonderful note detailing the weekend. I could tell he was very happy with his “getaway” outside of the city! :) We will definitely be booking with Marylee again!”
About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I’ve learned that every pup is different and deserves care that’s just as unique as they are. For the past 7+ years, I’ve also been fostering dogs through local rescues. Helping dogs transition from uncertain beginnings into loving homes has been incredibly rewarding and has given me experience with many different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. The idea of boarding dogs in my home came from a challenge I faced myself — finding a place that truly felt safe, loving, and comfortable for my own dogs when I had to go away. I wanted more than just a place for them to stay. I wanted them to feel cared for, understood, and treated like family. When your dog stays with me they will enjoy plenty of safe, supervised playtime in a large, fully fenced yard, giving them space to run, explore, and burn off those zoomies. Whether your dog loves active play or relaxing cuddle time, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. We’re used to having dogs around and all the activity and responsibility that comes with them, so caring for pets feels like a normal part of everyday life. When we don’t have any extras here, the house actually feels a little too quiet—like something is missing! I want every pet in my home to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to keep their routine and familiar comforts as much as I can—if they sleep in the bed at home, they’re welcome in the bed here; if they love curling up on the couch, that’s where they’ll be. My goal is to make their stay feel like a vacation, not a kennel stay. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and right at home while their family is away.
“I was very pleased with my dogs stay with Felice. The environment was very warm and inviting. My dogs seemed to have a wonderful time. We plan to return soon.”
“Michelle was a great sitter for Milo. She sent pictures daily and communicated how he was doing. Milo got along great with her dog which is always a plus to have a playmate. Highly recommend Michelle for boarding.”

“Lin took great care of my cat Pepper while I was out of town. She gave Pepper lots of attention on every visit. Lin even got her to take her medication on schedule. I am very happy with how well she took care of Pepper.”
“Xin is an amazing cat and rabbit sitter! She went above and beyond to take care of our special needs rabbit, who requires medication, bladder expression, and daily cleanup. She sent us lots of updates so that we weren't worried during our trip.”
“When we returned for vacation, I noticed that my dog was well-trained. It seems that I not only hired a pet sitter but also a pat trainer. My neighbor informed me of her exceptional skills with my dog. Now they like to have her as pat sitter as well. She was very responsive and on time every time”
About: I have experience caring for cats because I have kittens of my own! I understand how important it is to give cats plenty of love, attention, playtime, and patience. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving cuddles, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I treat every cat like they’re part of my own family!
“Ashley was amazing with our cat sitting needs. Taking time to check food and water as well as changing out the litter box. She even took care of the plants that were in need of some water love during the heat!”
About: I'm good at managing skittish/scared cats, giving them the time and space they need. Also administering meds (like giving my diabetic cat insulin shots), and reading pet body language to meet their comfort needs.
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, goats, horses, and cows! I have lots of knowledge with animals & your furry family would be well taken care of! I am often out driving between work and home, so it would be simple for me to take care of your furry friend when needed! I always make sure i know my surroundings and areas, crate is easily accessible! We would go on walks safely, play ball, or play inside!
“Ameneh was so easy to work with! She provided great daily updates on our loves as well as an unexpected update on our home- a neighbors tree fell and blocked our driveway! Our little loves were well cared for and I will definitely look to book her again!”
About: I've been caring for cats for most of my life, both personally and professionally. I grew up with cats and later worked in the cat room at a local humane society, where I fed the cats, cleaned their cages and litter boxes, and spent time socializing and playing with them. That's also where I met Penny, the first cat I adopted on my own after falling in love with her while caring for her at the shelter. I especially enjoy taking care of older or quiet cats who might need time to decide if they like a new person. My current cat, Millie, is a shy senior, so I am used to letting a cat set the pace. I pay close attention to cat body language and I try to recognize what a cat is comfortable with. I'm happy to handle the everyday essentials that keep your cats cared for while you’re away: feeding, fresh water, litter-box cleaning, play and companionship, and following their normal routine and your written instructions. I don't believe in forcing affection or interaction, so if your cat prefers to observe me suspiciously from underneath the bed, that’s okay too 😸💕
“Magda is an amazing sitter. She watched our 4 cats for the first time over Christmas break. She is incredibly punctual and attentive to all of our cats special needs and even brought potential house issues to our attention. Her communication is on point, from the meet and greet throughout the actual sitting. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”
“Rover review She took great care of Hazy while I was away. He unfortunately developed vomiting and diarrhea during my trip, so she had to clean up after him daily and keep a close eye on him. It may have been anxiety- but nonetheless-She even brought a probiotic from home for him, which I really appreciated. I ended up adding three extra visits so she could continue monitoring him, and she was reliable and communicative throughout. I really appreciated her taking on the extra work while Hazy wasn’t feeling well.”
“We appreciate Elspeth's help in taking care of our chocolate lab Ziggy while we were on a day trip. She is an excellent communicator and very conscientious, and it was clear she did a fine job taking care of Ziggy's needs for a potty break, food, and play. She will be our go-to sitter whenever she's available.”
About: Hi my name is Fran. I’m a mostly stay at home Mom in Mt. Airy with a 3 year old and 6 year old and 1 year old. We live on 5 acres, all fenced, across from the state park and in addition to 2 dogs have horses, chickens, and an outside cat. Both me and my husband have owned dogs all our lives, and experienced in animal care. Professionally, I’ve worked as a barn manager, dog groomer, dog walker, trainer, and dog handler for an Iditarod musher! I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and absolutely love it!!!! I care greatly about dogs and make sure that they are well taken care of with plenty of love and exercise. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all of my life. As a little kid my childhood dog was my constant companion and when I wasn't with him I was with the neighbors' dogs. In my twenties I moved to Alaska where I pursued a career in dog mushing and for two years lived with 120 dogs! Unfortunately due to frostbite I had to move back to the east coast. Meet my pets I have 2 dogs, Cash a one year old Australian Shepherd and Littles a 15 year old Boston terrier mix. Both love to play!! Cash is still a puppy and will play all day long!! He loves every dog he meets. Littles is 15 and recently lost his sight He’ll try to keep up with Cash but mostly just loves to sleep. I also have 2 horses, Shadow and Dandy (the love of my life) in their late twenties, some chickens, and a barn cat. About my yard I live on five acres across from Patuxent State Park. We have a huge fenced in backyard, with lots of trails in walking distance! My experience administering medication Yes I have no problem administering medication. Including injections I’m currently a stay at home mom and almost always home so your dog will never be left alone for long periods of time!! My 5 year old is great with dogs and will give your animals plenty of love and attention!!! We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run! Your dog will be let out frequently and get plenty of exercise!! I try and take the dogs for a long walk at least once a day. Your dog will have free roam of the house, but we are more than happy to crate if you provide one. Our dogs eat in the am and pm, however we can accommodate your dogs feeding schedule.
“Holly has been an amazing support to our family! We feel so lucky to have found her on Rover! She takes great care of our pups, treating them with love and care as if they were her own!”
“Tanya was great to work with and was great with our two dogs. Our dogs are a bit tentative when meeting new people, so Tanya was great with letting them get acclimated with her before leashing them. She is very responsive and easy to work with!”

“Maverick already loves his “grandparents” so much. We really appreciated the updates and pictures. He only did a day care day so far, but he was exhausted from his great day. We knew he was in great hands and are happy to have caring sitters for the future!”

“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!”
“I highly recommend Auana as she is expertly took care of my pup while I was at work. She made sure to ask all the right questions to provide the right care. Norbert and I both were impressed with communication and attention during his stay. Thanks again!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have taken care of family, friends and neighbors dogs for many years! I work from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. I work full-time from home with a flexible schedule! Getting out to walk throughout the day helps break up the day for me and your pup! I have a fenced in backyard and a 3 year old lab! I have a 5ft x 8ft kennel indoors and also have a few various size crates that I can use or you can bring your own! Dogs would only be crated/in the kennel to sleep (if needed) or if I am not home.
“Always kind, welcoming, caring and very accommodating. We are grateful to have such great pup sitters! We will keep coming back! Our pup is always very excited to come back!”
“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. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”
“Our dog, Brandi, had such a fun time at Brenda's house for Doggy Day Care. Brenda is very kind and truly enjoys what she does. She kept me updated throughout the day with texts and pictures. Her resident dog, Willow, also made Brandi feel right at home. Brenda takes wonderful care of our dog and we will definitely request her services for future doggy day care or overnight stays.”
“Lora is such a great sitter, so responsive and knows my dog well. She’s got a great location and even on days where she’s busy she’s often got a helping hand to make sure all dogs are taken care of”
“Henry was well taken care of and came home a happy dog. I will definitely continue to use Vanessa when we need a sitter. She was very flexible with time and I felt good leaving Henry in her hands.”
“Lauren was great with Osito! She was very responsive and had great communication. She sent all the pics and updates as requested and took such great care of Osito. Osito even made himself right at home. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“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!”
“Ebot responded to my booking request quickly & was also very polite with his communications. Jäger didn’t finish his two days booked with him. I don’t think it was a great fit for Jäger & think ebot would do best caring for dogs who don’t mind being crated and are smaller in size who also don’t mind being left. Apparently my dog displayed anxious behaviors he has never displayed before in his 4 years of rover daycares but I think it just wasn’t the best fit. Love ebot’s energy & personality though & wish him the best of luck! I think he’ll do great with other pups”
About: 🐕 Individualized Dog Boarding & Care 🐕 Worried about your dog getting lost in the crowd at a sitter's house packed with too many pets? I get it. As a dog mom myself, I believe home stays should mean true one-on-one attention and family-style care, not a mini kennel. _______________________________________ ~~ WHY BOARD/STAY WITH US?~~ + Small Groups, Big Attention: We host a maximum of 2 guest dogs at a time. Your pup gets genuine focus, love, and room to relax without the stress of a crowded home. + Safety First: We always require a pre-booking Meet & Greet. On arrival day, we use a gradual, multi-step introduction process outside and inside the home to make sure every dog feels safe. + Frequent Updates: You’ll get an update right after drop-off so you know your pup is settling in, followed by reliable daily updates and photos & videos. No waiting around or worrying! + Tailored Activity & Enrichment: Since we work from home, we provide frequent neighborhood walks, dedicated indoor playtime, and long-lead outdoor play sessions in our grassy area. Whether your dog needs high energy output or loves to snooze, we adapt to their rhythm. _______________________________________ Leaving your baby behind is tough. Our goal is to give you total peace of mind while treating your dog like a member of our own family. We’d love to meet your pup! Hi, I’m Dianne! I’ve been fostering dogs since 2017 with Fetch WI Rescue and Lucky Dog Animal Rescue (DC). My husband, Jake, and I work from home alongside our resident "foster fail," Kona. Because I work from home, I have a ton of flexibility to step away from my computer as needed. I have a mellow 5 year old resident dog who loves to play if your pup is interested. Otherwise she pretty much minds her own business. She is a St. Bernard and Blackmouth cur mix who is very gentle and has had a lot of exposure to dogs of varying temperaments through fostering. She can’t wait to meet you pup! We also allow dogs to have free roam of our home and will sleep in our bedroom at night.
“I don't normally leave reviews... however... my labradoodle had a BLAST! The property is beautiful and very well kept and clean... Dan and his wife are totally awesome, caring and super attentive to my dog's needs. I was worry-free the entire day. I would highly recommend Dan for your pup's needs.”
“I was a bit nervous leaving Lexa after an unpleasant previous experience with a Rover stay, but Jeannie was wonderful! She took my very active husky on several walks, but was conscious of the hot weather and kept them short. I received a bunch of pictures and updates, which kept me calm. She has a very calm demeanor that allowed my dog to relax and just hang out. I will definitely be rebooking!!”
“Shadid is amazing! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving my puppy, Rudy, with someone else. From the moment we met Shadid, she was great with Rudy. I was concerned about Rudy getting anxious and being difficult to manage. I realized quickly that I had nothing to worry about with Shadid. Rudy was immediately comfortable with her. I don’t think he even noticed me leave because he was so excited to hang out with Shadid & Pebbles all day. Throughout the day, I received pictures of Rudy at the park and playing. It felt great knowing that Rudy was in good hands and having an amazing day. When I picked Rudy up, he was sad to leave! Rudy can be challenging and usually takes a while to warm up to people, so I was extremely impressed by Shadid’s ability to care for dogs. I would absolutely be comfortable leaving Rudy with Shadid again and am so grateful that I found her. If you love your dog and don’t know which sitter will be best, contact Shadid!! Your dog will have the best day and you’ll feel great knowing he/she is in good hands! From a professional standpoint, Shadid is excellent. I’m in medical school and was taking an exam during Rudy’s stay, so it was important to me that the sitter be professional. Shadid was perfect. She responds quickly and is completely reliable. I strongly recommend her!”

About: I have raised my own dog since she was ten weeks old, mentored by my father who has raised three litters of puppies throughout his life. I have also done pet-sitting for friends and family for dogs as small as beagle puppies to as large as a Labrador. I am a Graduate student, but I manage to take six- mile walks every morning year-round. As my classes are in the evening, I can fit dog-walking into my schedule in the mornings and early afternoons. I am attentive and responsible for my pets needs, and take pride in ensuring that the animals I care for are happy and healthy. I have a nine-year-old mixed breed dog who enjoys her daily walks and sunbathing on the deck, but does not enjoy the company of other dogs very much.
“Just in the few walks we've scheduled with Lin, I can already tell she's the best dog walker we've ever had. Our dog looks forward to their walks together! I've also noticed how much better our dog walks on leash with us - she's not pulling as much.”
About: i’ve been walking/ taking out dogs since i was 13 for friends and family. i love dogs so much, they deserve the care and attention they need. i enjoy bonding with new dogs and learning more and more about each breed. i can’t wait to be your dogs best friend! currently searching for a job to fit me, but in the meantime would love to take care of some furry friends! i am available pretty often and i have my own little dog at home, so im used to taking care of her! i have a dog named willow. she is the sweetest king charles cavalier spainel ever! she loves meeting new friends. i don’t have a fenced in yard because we have a big back yard with a lot of woods, but there is a dog park near me with a big open field fenced in that my dog loves!
“Ryan was wonderful. I can tell she really loves animals and cares about her job. She followed through with everything that I requested her to do. She had no problem at all walking both of my dogs at the same time - which can be challenging! I hope to use her again but from what I understand she goes away to college soon and will return to Maryland for holidays and when her school has breaks.”
“This is our first experience using a dog walker with Rover and we are very pleased with Destiny! We needed someone to walk our dog 3 times a day for two days. She arrived on time for all 6 walks and sent pictures of each walk. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I will treat your pet as if it is my own and will make sure they stay calm and happy while you are away!! I have experience with older dogs and puppies! I am available almost all summer.I am a full time college student working on my Bachelors of science but I am home for the summer. Pet sitting can be fit into my schedule as needed. I can let the dogs run outside for a while in a fenced yard, I can take them on walks through the neighborhood, I can practice commands, or just give some snuggles.
“Xin is a wonderful dog walker- she's a great communicator, excellent with our dog and timely! She even did some research on harnesses and leashes for us! We will continue to use Xin and highly recommend her to other families.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve had cats throughout my life and have also had the joy of caring for a dog. I truly enjoy the companionship that pets bring and love giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. Now that my kids are grown and out of the house, I have more time to spend doing something I genuinely enjoy! Being around animals! I’d love to spoil your pets with love, playtime, walks, and lots of attention while you’re away. My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for just like they were at home. I can stop in before and after work. Or I can stay at your house. I work a 9-5 weekdays. I am available also on weekends. I will follow your expectations while sitting for your pets in your home. I will make sure the home remains pet safe. Making sure your pets environment is safe before leaving them. I will give them lots of attention and playtime.
About: I love all animals - big, small, fluffy, scaly and everything in between. I’ve been a horse back rider and pet owner for as long as I can remember. I sit for family, friends and have a passion for learning about animal behavior in my free time. I own my own business and work from home. My schedule is extremely flexible and can help almost any day, any time. I know the area super well and frequent lots of small parks in HoCo for shady hikes and sniffing around - if your pet is up for a field trip! I have a large yard with lots of plays to sniff, play and lounge. I don’t plan to do in home sitting but if I did, I have a large house, non smoking with no children. I would treat your pet as one of my own.
“Terri has been a fantastic support for our family. She is dependable and trustworthy and sends an update after each visit. Knowing that our little Spaniel is comfortable and happy is the best feeling when I am away from home. I am so grateful that I found her, and I look forward to working with her for a long time!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years—both my own and through my professional pet sitting work. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pups, including energetic puppies and sweet senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra patience. I also have personal experience caring for an injured dog (my own had a CCL tear last summer), so I understand how important it is to be gentle, keep walks controlled, and watch for any limping or discomfort. During visits, I make sure your dog gets a safe walk, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of love—plus photo updates and a detailed visit note so you always know how things went. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits. I’m also available for last-minute requests when needed, including weekends and holidays. Safety is my top priority. I always follow pet parent instructions closely and keep routines consistent. For walks, I use a waist leash/leash belt so your pup is securely attached to me the entire time—this helps keep both your pet and me safe. I’m careful around doors and gates, double-check locks before leaving, and I send updates with notes and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away.
About: Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done! I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule. We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.
About: Dogs have been in my life since I was 12 years old. I have had 4 dogs throughout that time. I have experience with both senior dogs and high-energy younger dogs. I am more used to smaller dogs, but one of my current 2 dogs is a 54lb pitt-bull, the other one is a 15lb pug mix. I also used to take care of a 70lb standard poodle for a family I was a nanny for. I am currently unemployed, so I have open availability. I am working on my master´s degree and would like to use this extra time to save a little money since I just got married. I offer dog walking and house sitting services. I can also play with them and provide a safe and comfortable envoinment. I will adapt to whatever specific needs your pets may have.
About: I am a long-time animal lover and human companion to many dogs! I adore my 4 rescue dogs, my 2 rescue cats, and my 2 happy humans! We spend our time creating a fun, happy, positive atmosphere full of good energy! I am experienced in caring for all types of dogs and cats, chickens, small animals, and have basic equine care experience. I have cared for dogs for over 30 years. I have fostered and provided support for dogs from young puppies to seniors that require special treatment, diet, medication and/or physical assistance, including amputee rehabilitation. One of my rescues (Penny) is blind, Luna has a single lung after three heart surgeries, and two are active seniors, Lani and Fiji! I use touch therapy on my dogs, along with holistic methods and work hard to keep our home full of health and happiness. Making sure our beautiful companions are comfortable, happy, and healthy is my goal! I feed my own dogs a holistic and healthy diet, and make their food and snacks myself. I volunteer with a local pet rescue group, where I transport animals, and help the organization with applications and adoptions. My true passion is to make babies with 4 legs wag their tails and show me that their hearts are truly happy! I am excited to bring my love, care, and joy to your pets, too!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a meet-and-greet. Looking forward to meeting your pet! 🐾 I’m primarily available during the day on weekdays for walks and drop ins, but I can be flexible and arrange evening and weekend care as needed.

I maintain a secure environment, sticking to your pet’s routine to minimize stress. I ensure your pet feels at ease with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m also respectful of your home, keeping it clean and tidy. Your pet’s well-being and peace of mind are my top priorities while you’re away!
About: Dog boarding: I have 16 years experience for caring for dogs at home including multiple dogs at a time. Additionally I have six years experience with dog sitting/boarding. My main availability would be Monday-Saturday where I WFH meaning constant attention and activities for the dogs to be a part of. Dog walking: My main availability would be Monday-Friday. I live right by Rock Creek Park so there are plenty of trails nearby to avoid busy streets on walks. Also available to commute through the DMV area for any service. I myself decided to join this app because I have always love helping dog owners provide the best life experience for their fur babies. I understand that sometimes it takes a village to have a dog/cat constantly looked after. With this I thought that dog boarding and sitting could be a great experience for the dogs and cats alike as I’m a high energy person who loves the outdoors. (Tips are encouraged and greatly appreciated) I work from home so I’m able to constantly give dogs/cats attention. This means constant potty breaks, multiple walks a day with varying duration, and lots and lots of affection. In my home I have two friendly dogs (crate-trained) and a doggy door with access to a fenced yard. Nearby there are also walking trails and parks away from busy roads for the dogs to roam.

“Curtis and Lindsay were great, sharing pictures and communicating the whole time we were away. Our pup appeared content, happy and tired out when we brought her home. Would definitely recommend!”
“Brianna is amazing! I felt like my dog was in safe hands the entire weekend. She was very communicative and always sent us photos of Teddy and her hiking, hanging out and playing. We highly recommend her for watching your fur baby!”
“Samantha is truly a gem and cared for my dog like her own. She sent regular pics and videos. My dog felt at ease for 5 days with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her!!”
“Ashley and Joshua took great care of our Archie! There was daily communication with pictures for us to see our little guy. It was nice to know that he was being taken care of so well while we were away. It helped us enjoy our vacation more! We will definitely be using Ashley and Joshua again! Thank you so much!!”
“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! ?”
“This was Rui’s second stay with James and Mary. Mary and James take such great care of our boy when we are out of town. Rui loves them and looks forward to staying with them.”
“Evvery took such great care of our dog Freya. I could tell through pictures and videos that Freya settled in comfortably. Evvery sent updates and pictures each day. I’m so happy Freya had a home away from home while my family was traveling. Knowing your pet is well taken care of is such a relief.”
“Julijai kept us updated with photos and videos of how our dog was doing. He had a great time playing in the backyard and hanging out on the couch. Would absolutely book again.”
“Marylee did a great job of sending pics of my pup while he enjoyed the deck and some quality window watching. She wrote us a wonderful note detailing the weekend. I could tell he was very happy with his “getaway” outside of the city! :) We will definitely be booking with Marylee again!”
About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I’ve learned that every pup is different and deserves care that’s just as unique as they are. For the past 7+ years, I’ve also been fostering dogs through local rescues. Helping dogs transition from uncertain beginnings into loving homes has been incredibly rewarding and has given me experience with many different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. The idea of boarding dogs in my home came from a challenge I faced myself — finding a place that truly felt safe, loving, and comfortable for my own dogs when I had to go away. I wanted more than just a place for them to stay. I wanted them to feel cared for, understood, and treated like family. When your dog stays with me they will enjoy plenty of safe, supervised playtime in a large, fully fenced yard, giving them space to run, explore, and burn off those zoomies. Whether your dog loves active play or relaxing cuddle time, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. We’re used to having dogs around and all the activity and responsibility that comes with them, so caring for pets feels like a normal part of everyday life. When we don’t have any extras here, the house actually feels a little too quiet—like something is missing! I want every pet in my home to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to keep their routine and familiar comforts as much as I can—if they sleep in the bed at home, they’re welcome in the bed here; if they love curling up on the couch, that’s where they’ll be. My goal is to make their stay feel like a vacation, not a kennel stay. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and right at home while their family is away.
“My dog was in really good spirits on his return home. That's always a good sign of a good dogsitter who is attentive and loving. I can always tell when Butters had a rough stay but his first stay with Frances was a very good one. Thanks and we'll be seeing you again!”
“Carrie was amazing! Our dog Addie was welcomed in like part of her family, and if only I could read dog minds, I’m sure Addie’s is saying when do I get to go back? We’ll definitely book with her again soon!”
“Chris was great with our older dog. He let him out into his yard and walked him daily. He also gave him his meds on schedule. We received daily updates during his stay. Chris was also responsive throughout the process: booking, meet and greet, drop off and pickup. Our dog was happy and relaxed after a one week stay with Chris. Highly recommend him for a stay!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“My pup Topaz had the best time with Ellen. Ellen took time with Topaz and made it fun for her. Since Topaz is a senior dog, she is very sensitive to her environment, and she fit in with the other dogs as well. I will be bringing her back on a regular basis now!”
