“Ashley and Ryan were amazing! They are truly dog people and your dogs will have the best experience at their home. Our dogs loved running around their huge backyard with their sweet pups. If they weren’t running around outside they were lounging on the couch or one of the many dog beds available. They sent many pictures throughout our dogs stay. We felt very at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. Thank you Ashley and Ryan! I know our dogs can’t wait to come back!”

“We can’t say enough amazing things about Renee, she was truly our angel during a very stressful moment while we were on vacation in Florida. The place where our dog was staying unexpectedly call us and rudely demanded that we pick up our dog immediately. Being out there of state with no one nearby to help, we were completely panicked and heartbroken. My husband remember about Rover and he find Renee, she responded very quickly asking the situation and accept our booking. Without hesitation, she stepped in and went out of her way to pick up our dog for us. She was incredibly sweet, caring, and compassionate, exactly what we needed in that moment. She treated our puppy with so much love and care, like he was her own, and kept us updated and send us pictures of him smiling and acting like he is at home. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and will never forget what she did for us. Thank you, dear Renee, you are truly one of a kind!❤️🐾”

“Cari was great. Very punctual with all her drop ins and sent pictures. She also took the time to reach out and try to find one of our shy cats to make sure she was okay while we were gone.”
“Arnie is incredible! He came over a few days before my first booking to meet my 2 dogs. My senior dog warmed right up to him, and my 3 year old rescue even allowed some scratches and to be held. I was able to tell they both felt safe and secure with Arnie around. My senior needs a little extra help up and down the stairs, and I’m still working on leash confidence with the 3 year old. These things didn’t faze Arnie or stand out as a problem. He was ready to tackle them head on. This made me feel safe and secure knowing my babies would be in goods hands with him. I’m so thrilled that Arnie will be a buddy for my pups, and give me some peace of mind when I have a long work day!”

About: Hi! I’m a college student and lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs. I currently have a cat of my own, so I understand the daily care, attention, and patience cats need to feel comfortable and happy. I also volunteer with local shelters and rescues, which has given me experience working with animals of different personalities and backgrounds. Along with caring for my own pets, I’ve helped watch and care for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I know every cat is different — some are playful and social while others prefer quiet companionship — and I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away! 🐾
“Amber did a wonderful job with our pets. The cats especially seemed to warm up to her within a day when they normally take several days to warm up to someone. Her communication was great throughout and she left our house spotless. We would definitely have Amber stay with our pets again.”
About: I've been caring for friends' cats several times each year, providing dependable daily care including feeding, administering both liquid and pill medications, cleaning litter boxes, and following individualized feeding routines using both manual and automatic feeders.
“Leah was a great cat-sitter! Very easy to work with, she made fast-friends with our cat, sent us reassuring updates each day, even a picture of his litter box (as only a pet owner would appreciate!) We felt very good being away while knowing that she was taking care of our little bundle of furry fun. I will definitely be using Leah again in the future! Thank you Leah!!!”
“Payten was amazing. She got great pictures of my cats. Even the outside community cats were coming to see her. My foster kittens were a challenge and ahe handled it beautifully.”
“Sarah was great with my two cats. She provided updates and pictures everyday. I appreciate her reasonable cost to do the drop in visits everyday. Sarah is also super nice and trustworthy to have in your home. Thanks Sarah.”
“Christina sent daily updates to let us know how Zoey was doing. Everything seemed to go great while we were gone and when we came home everything was in place and Zoey was a happy girl. Thanks Christina!”
“Matthew came last minute for me and did a phenomenal job. I have a Cane Corso and German Shepherd and he handled both without any issues. Def will be using him again and highly recommend him.”
“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”
“We were very pleased with Brittany. Our 5yo Kitty Amber, is a rescue, and we've had her since January. We didn't want to leave her for a week, but our plans/reservations were made over a year ago. It was obvious that Brittany loved Amber, and from the photos she sent, Amber was very. comfortable with her. Turns out Brittany and my partner knew each other when they sang in a chorus. Everything was good all-round. We would have Brittany take of Amber again.”
About: From personal experience, I have about a year of experience taking care of my cat. Professional experience, 3-4 with feeding, scooping litter, and playing with neighbors or family friends cats. My cat is a bit on the energetic side, so if you think your cat is too much, don’t worry because I can for sure handle whatever craziness your cat is filled with.

“Tux has always been anxious when left behind, but did very well with Emily all day. She was very attentive to his needs and he got along well with her other daycare pup. She sent numerous pictures and answered my texts right away when I checked in on him. She asked permission to take him on a short ride in her car, which I granted since he loves car rides and hates being left behind. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy.”
“Nova had a great time with Renee today. Renee was responsive, shared updates throughout the day, and made scheduling very easy. She was flexible and it truly felt like she treated Nova as her own. I will definitely use Renee and her husband again.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with more than 50 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, gerbils, and fish, giving me a deep understanding that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience administering medications and providing attentive, individualized care. My goal is to give your dog a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home while you’re away. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care each day. I maintain a consistent routine to make sure pets in my care are comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I enjoy spending time with animals and will provide regular interaction, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can stay connected and know your pet is happy and doing well. Pets staying in my home become part of the family. We have a friendly Boston Terrier and a secure fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy safe outdoor time, play, and fresh air. I provide a calm, loving environment with attention to each dog’s individual needs, including their feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and comfort preferences. I keep my home safe and welcoming so your dog can relax and feel at ease while you’re away. For additional peace of mind, we live just two miles from a highly respected veterinary clinic should an emergency ever arise.
About: As the proud owners to two wonderful little rescue dogs, a cat, some chickens, guinea fowl, goats and sheep, we know how hard it can be sometimes to find care for your pets and farm animals while you are away. We will provide the same level of care and kindness that I would want and expect for our own spoiled pets. Trust is an important part of pet care and petsitting, and we want you to be able to confidently, and without worry, leave your pampered pups and kitties in our care. We live on a small farm in rural Western Maryland, about 20 minutes west of Frederick. We have experience with all kinds of animal care, from horses, cows, goats, sheep, and poultry. We are currently able to provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, as well as house or farm sitting, and in home boarding, as well as hourly dog park style use of our large fenced yard. Your pets will be a happy addition to our family in our home! Our whole property is fenced by 4 ft or taller board and wire fencing, with smaller areas sectioned off in the front and back yards. The driveway is gated and secure. We want your pets to feel as safe as our own. Leah and Andrew are both available for petsitting services. We currently work only at home, tending our farm homestead, and have a flexible schedule. We are able to drop in one or two times a day, or less or more often, as needed. We treat every animal as if it were our own and provide a level of care that we would expect from our pet care provider.
“Extremely happy with Tavin as Max’s puppycarer. He Had such a good time and it’s a shame we left the area otherwise we would use her on a regular basis. Very kind and friendly carer. Max was asleep minutes after getting in the car.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 10 years, with skills for basic training. Your pets happiness and safety is my priority. Thank you! I work remote and have the time to spend with your furry companion. I have two dogs of my own that I foster. My schedule is open and flexible to meet your dogs needs. I live in a three story townhouse that allows me the space to observe each dogs temperament to see how they interact with other dogs.
“My dog had a fabulous time with Kim! She was warm and friendly from the start, and her beautiful house and backyard made my dog feel comfortable and right at home. She even took him to the park, which he loved! Kim was communicative, trustworthy, and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend her!”
About: My Experience My experience caring for dogs goes back well before I started doing this full time. In high school, I walked dogs for people in my community to earn extra money, so getting paid to grab a leash and spend time with dogs is actually something I’ve come back to years later. Since then, I’ve continued gaining hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels through years of owning and caring for dogs myself. I’m comfortable with everything from a dog that wants to stop and investigate every mailbox to a large, energetic dog that genuinely needs to put some miles in. What started as a way to make money in high school has developed into something I take much more seriously today. Pet care is now my full-time focus, and I approach it professionally—learning each dog’s routine, keeping individual notes, communicating with owners, and working to build a relationship with every dog I regularly walk. I don’t just want experience walking dogs. I want experience knowing your dog—what they enjoy, what they avoid, how they communicate, and what makes them excited when I show up at the door. My Schedule & Availability: Open 24/7/365 | ASAP | rain☔️, snow❄️, or shine☀️ | hot🥵 or cold🥶 Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is built around the dogs I care for—not around another work schedule. I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Early mornings, afternoons, evenings, overnight, weekends, and holidays—rain, snow, or shine, hot or cold. I especially welcome recurring clients who want to make exercise a consistent part of their dog’s routine. Because this is my full-time focus, I can accommodate regular weekday walks, multiple walks per week, longer walks, high-energy dogs, and owners who work overnight or unusual schedules. I also understand that life doesn’t always happen on a schedule, which is why I accept ASAP requests whenever possible. If I receive an alert at 2:00 AM, for example, my goal is to be at your pet’s door by 4:00 AM. ASAP requests are always subject to my current schedule, location, and travel time, so immediate arrival can’t be guaranteed, but I aim to respond to ASAP requests within two hours of receiving the alert. Weather doesn’t automatically mean a canceled walk either. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get outside. Dogs still need exercise, bathroom breaks, mental stimulation, and attention when the weather isn’t perfect. Safety always comes first, so extreme heat, dangerous cold, thunderstorms, ice, or other hazardous conditions may mean adjusting our distance, route, pace, or time outdoors rather than putting your dog at unnecessary risk. I also leave enough time between scheduled clients so your dog’s visit doesn’t feel rushed. Consistency is important to me, and regular walks give me the opportunity to learn your dog’s personality, routine, favorite places, preferred pace, and individual needs. Whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM, a beautiful sunny afternoon or a snowy morning, my goal is to be someone you can depend on—and someone your dog gets excited to see because they know it’s time to go explore. Safety, Trust & Environment: Your dog’s safety will always come first, but I also believe dogs deserve to experience the world outside. Rain, snow, or shine—hot or cold—I’m prepared to get them outside and moving. I’ll always adjust our pace, distance, and route to your dog and the conditions rather than automatically canceling a walk because the weather isn’t perfect. Throughout every walk, I pay close attention to your dog’s body language, breathing, energy level, paws, traffic, other animals, and our surroundings. On hot days, that means watching pavement temperatures, prioritizing shade and water, and recognizing signs of overheating. In cold or snowy conditions, I’ll monitor their paws and comfort and follow any instructions you have for coats, boots, or other gear. Weather won’t scare me away, but unsafe conditions will change the plan. Extreme heat, severe storms, dangerous ice, or conditions that could put your dog at risk may mean a shorter outdoor walk with the remaining time devoted to safe indoor attention and stimulation. Trust matters just as much. You’re trusting me with a member of your family and, in many cases, access to your home. I’ll respect your property, follow your instructions, communicate with you, and make sure your dog is safe and secure before I leave. I also want dogs to have the opportunity to be dogs. I’ll give them time to sniff, explore, investigate their surroundings, and experience what’s happening around them instead of treating every walk like a race. Every dog is different, and I’ll learn yours. Rain, snow, or shine. Hot or cold. My goal is to become someone you trust—and someone your dog gets excited to see walking through the door.

“Arnie is terrific! He's always early, has a smile on his face, and comes prepared with poop bags! Very efficient and flexible. Arnie has been a God send. I'm glad I chose him to take care of Cannoli while I recovery from.surgery. highly recommend!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I look out for them. I believe exercise is critical. I care about their comfort and nutrition, including constant fresh water! I like to have notes on personalities and habits of the dogs I care for so as to help the animal feel comfortable. I prefer dogs that have been crate trained or trained for healthy habits. A crate is a necessary tool and a dog should feel safe in a crate. If I need to step out for any reason, your dog will be put in a crate for their safety (or your preferred method). Favorite toys and bedding is encouraged. Please know that your dog is safe and cared for while in my supervision. I'm home most of the day with the exception of a few hours(3-3 1/2) so, your dog will have my attention and care! Besides, all dogs need naps, right? :-) Holiday rates will apply to all of my services. Mostly retired. Why not use my time to care for wonderful animals? I currently have 3 cats. My dogs are gone but not forgotten, r.i.p. ♥ I have a fenced yard and a cat-tio. Safety is utmost important to me while caring for animals. Trust me, I care immensely. No worries.
About: Hi! I’m a college student and huge dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very familiar with high-energy dogs and the attention, exercise, and care they need. I also volunteer with a local shelter through their Doggy Day Out program and help out with a local rescue, which has given me experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds and temperaments. On top of that, I regularly dog sit and care for dogs in my area for friends, family, and neighbors. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, exercised, and loved while their owners are away! 🐾 My schedule is very flexible! I nanny Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, but I’m available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays for pet care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to help them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: My family and I absolutely love dogs we lost ours recently and I am not ready to get another one but would love to care for yours like he/she was our own. I have 3 very energetic kiddos that would love to play with and give lots of love and cuddles to your fur baby. I am a stay at home mom, we have no other animals of any kind so your fur baby will have all the attention when they stay with us. Please be understanding that no pets in the bed, its a very full bed already with 3 kids under 6.

About: I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request. I’m retired and am home all day. I’m prepared ahead of time for hosting dogs. The reason I have a one-day notice is so I can prepare my house with anything I may need so that there is no leaving the dogs by theirself. All pets free roam my home. They get to sleep wherever they are used to. They are fed according to the pet parents instructions. All pets get two to three walks a day .Lots of potty breaks, water provided outside and of course inside. They get lots of hugs and treats if aloud by pet parents.
About: I have had family dogs since I can remember and have been caring for them since around 9 years old. I'm currently studying to become a veterinary technician with a degree in animal science!

I am available 24 hours a day and would love to fill all 7 days of the week with fuzzy, slobbery friends! I do have occasional doctors appointments or visits with family and whatnot, but those should be reflected in my calendar! I will be accompanied by lots of love and lots of patience. I will feed and give medication as needed. If any housekeeping is needed I am happy to help, and I will walk, brush and let them outside as you ask, maybe even a nail trim if needed!

About: What sets me apart as a dog walker is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and understand they often need extra care, slower-paced walks, gentle handling, and lots of comfort and affection. Whether your pet needs a quick 20-minute walk, a drop-in visit, or all-day companionship, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for the entire time. I focus on building trust with each animal and providing personalized care for their unique personality and needs, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I am a stay at home mom of older children so I am available daily as needed. I am also available weekends and holidays day or night. I will give complete loving care to your pets and will walk and give companionship as much or as little as needed. I will treat them like my own.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 5. I’ve always believed that they should be shown so much love and compassion. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of varying ages. I have looked after animals of all sizes and ages so I am well prepared. I have experience with feeding, walking, bathing, bathing, nail trimming, and medication giving. I currently am putting my full attention into pet care so I will have plenty of time available to take care of your furry family members. I am available all week days and most weekends. I have no problem staying nights if needed. I treat my fur babies like they are family and I give them lots of love. I will treat your pets with the same love I show mine. I have no problem following whatever routine and habits that will make your pets feel comfortable.
“Buddy, absolutely loves walking with Corrinna. He’s always so excited to see her and go on walks. She goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and enjoying his walk. I don’t know what I would do without her.”
About: My husband and I have been around dogs our entire life, small to large breed, we love dogs! Our little one absolutely loves having them around, being outside, throwing ball, treats, etc. So, your pet would need to be great with kids :) We live in the beautiful Whittier neighborhood with plenty of walking options. Our backyard is enclosed with a high eight foot fence. So, your pet would be plenty comfortable. Or, if you're away, I could come to your pet for their time outdoors. I have a small SUV, so transportation is always an option! We're comfortable letting your pet roam the house while we're here and away. We would only take on more than one dog after talking to the owner of our current stay, and the dogs are compatible, or they come from the same home! With that said, we do not have any four legged pets of our own.... only tanked ones ;) three amano shrimp, two tetras, and two narite snails! So, your pet will have the luxury of our undivided attention! When your pet would come to stay with us, we do ask for as much info/'their 'stuff' as you can bring/provide regarding your pets normal/routine at their home, commands, tricks, toys, food, bedding... etc so your pet is comfortable and enjoys their time here, and so we can keep them in as much of a similar framework as their home. The Rover site allows for pics and videos. So, we like to take a few during their stay and send them to owners! Our current stay and past stays have really enjoyed this! Prior to you or us making a decision on your pets stay, we would like for you all and your pet to visit our home. This will allow you to see and get a sense of our neighborhood and home - where your pet will be staying, and meet us! I hope this has been helpful for you!

“Ashley and Ryan were amazing! They are truly dog people and your dogs will have the best experience at their home. Our dogs loved running around their huge backyard with their sweet pups. If they weren’t running around outside they were lounging on the couch or one of the many dog beds available. They sent many pictures throughout our dogs stay. We felt very at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. Thank you Ashley and Ryan! I know our dogs can’t wait to come back!”

Nothing better than having the peace of mind when leaving your fur baby for a weekend! Thanks you two! Will gladly be a returning client!”
“We can’t say enough amazing things about Renee, she was truly our angel during a very stressful moment while we were on vacation in Florida. The place where our dog was staying unexpectedly call us and rudely demanded that we pick up our dog immediately. Being out there of state with no one nearby to help, we were completely panicked and heartbroken. My husband remember about Rover and he find Renee, she responded very quickly asking the situation and accept our booking. Without hesitation, she stepped in and went out of her way to pick up our dog for us. She was incredibly sweet, caring, and compassionate, exactly what we needed in that moment. She treated our puppy with so much love and care, like he was her own, and kept us updated and send us pictures of him smiling and acting like he is at home. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and will never forget what she did for us. Thank you, dear Renee, you are truly one of a kind!❤️🐾”

“Chantal was great to help us out when options where running out to watch Waylon. Chantal sent us pictures of Waylon daily having a good time with her dog and a kids pool. During our time out of state we had no stress/concerns on Waylon's care. We will definitely ask Chantal to care for Waylon in the future. 5 stars for Chantal. Jason & Paula”

“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“Nat and Ally and their kids were such a wonderful family and took perfect care of our husky. They understand how to take care of dogs and how to help integrate dogs that are more shy (like our husky). Nat and Ally were also very communicative and always sent updates. I could not recommend a better family for dog sitting!”
“Anna took such great care of our German shepherd, was communicative and understanding when we had an unexpected travel change.

I cannot recommend enough and we will book with her again 1000%”
“Kelly was amazing with Crash. She and her family had Crash for a full month... and he was clearly a happy Dog. When he is stressed he loses hair on his side, that did not happen!!! And his first night/day home, We think he was depressed b/c he missed Kelly and her Family.. She Truly kept us informed, sent pictures and was just such a peace in our hearts to have Crash so happy. We will use Kelly again!!”
“Kacy and Justin were amazing with our fur baby! We were a bit anxious about leaving our puppy for the first time (especially for a full week), but Kacy and Justin helped ease our anxiety. They are very kind and provided daily updates with videos and photos. And they were very flexible when our flight was delayed and we were a bit late for pick-up. We would definitely recommend them and will be using them for any future dog boarding services!”
“Ellen is a PHENOMENAL sitter. My dog was so well taken care of on her beautiful property and had friends to play with every day! Ellen provides ample updates in the form of cute little videos so you see just how happy your pup is while you're away. Highly recommend. I've already rebooked her to watch Athena the next time we're out of town.”
