“Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!”
“Karen was amazing with Jazzy! Our dog has significant separation anxiety, but Karen immediately understood her needs and knew exactly how to help her feel comfortable and secure. The farmland is a huge plus offering plenty of safe, private space for dogs to play and explore. Best of all, Karen and her family treated Jazzy like one of their own. We had complete peace of mind knowing our fur baby was so well cared for, and we're incredibly grateful to have found a sitter we trust. The ample pictures and videos were an added bonus! We'll definitely be back again and again!”
“Wow! My family and I felt and knew we left our pups in great hands with Michelle. She sent daily updates and photos. One photo looked like my dog was literally smiling. I would book again in a heartbeat with Michelle!”
“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“Terri was the epitome of perfect. She was just what my pet Blossom needed. Attention, affection, love, she filled all of those things, and then some. She took many pictures kept us up-to-date, and eased my anxiety!!! I would use her again and again and again, top-notch for sure!!!”
“Sophia made me and my dog feel super comfortable watching him for the first time. We had a meet and greet, so I could meet her before watching my dog for the first time. Sophia is extremely responsive, truly cares about dogs and kept us updated throughout the week with pictures of my dog while he is was there for the week. I think my dog missed playing with the other dogs when it was time to come home. I highly recommend Sophia and will use her again to watch our dog.”
“Christa did a fantastic job with Dirk! Thru the pictures taken you could certainly tell they took him in and treated Dirk as their own. He loved Christa's kids and we were very comfortable knowing he was being taken care of so well. We would highly recommend Christa!”
“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!”
“Renee was very easy to work with! My dog seemed to enjoy her time with Renee. Renee was flexible, kind, and easy to talk to. We will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Jen was awesome with Max and Daizy! I’m always a little nervous leaving them, but she made me feel so much better with updates and how well she handled everything. My pups can be a little particular, and she did great with them. You can tell she really cares. Definitely would book her again!”
“Marylee (and her husband) were amazing!! I pick Rover people based on if I would want to stay with them lol!! At the meet and greet she was very thorough with her questions about the cat and dog and making sure all their needs were met. It felt like she has an understanding about the types of issues that could arise and how to deal with them. Very organized. Very attentive, warm loving people. I was sent updates and photos throughout my time away. Her yard is crazy big and beautiful and fenced in. My dog LOVED it! She was able to accommodate my daughter’s cat at the same time last minute. I felt so secure knowing they were being well taken care of while I was gone. Cat had her little cat tower and pictures of the cat by the glass door able to look outside and see everything. I am done searching for Rover people… will definitely use Marylee again. Excellent!!”
“They are such great fur baby sitters! Jax came home happy and not stressed at all. I loved getting all the updates and pictures and will definitely book with them again!”
“Our dog loves staying with Nat and Ally! She has the best time running around with their dog and they take great care of her. Thrilled to book with them again and would/will do so again in a heartbeat!”
“Jason went above and beyond taking care of our pup. We got daily updates and could thoroughly enjoy our time away knowing our dog was taken care of by someone we could trust to give him the best care. Highly recommend!”
“We have now used Evvery twice and once again it was an awesome experience. Our dog was in great hands, we received regular updates, and we were completely at ease while traveling. She has an amazing approach with our dog, and gives him the affection and time he needs. We couldn't be happier with the experience, and recommend Evvery to everyone. Just don't book her when we need her! :-)”
“Dan was awesome! We were coming in from out of town and he was super understanding and worked perfectly with our schedule. His yard was great for the dogs and he cared for them like they were his. Updated us with videos of them playing and having fun. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing boarding for their dogs.”
“As always Jennifer is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I joke that when we go on vacation, so does our Roxie. She truly lives her best life with her. If you are looking for a sitter who loves your pup as much as you, look no more. Roxie even came home with a Christmas gift.”

“We were so happy with the care our cats, Cooper and Poppy, received! She was reliable, sent great updates and photos, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Brooke took care of our cat Garfield while we attended our son's wedding in Virginia; it's been several years since we had a sitter. No worries. Brooke arrived on time, did everything we asked, and texted us a picture/update at each visit. She is now Garfield's new friend. Highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs.”
“This was our first time using Jenny for our 2 cats. We had been using someone else through Rover. Our needs had changed and we needed someone experienced in giving meds as we have a 17 year old cat with cancer among other big issues and it's pertinent that he have the meds correctly administered. We met Jenny and my husband and I felt instantly at ease. She gave us very thorough care cards and even pictures along the way. She followed all of my specific instructions and we were very happy with her care of our babies. We will definitely be repeat clients! Thank you Jenny! 🐾.”
About: I owned a dog for 13 years before she passed away, I was in charge of feeding her and I would take care of her while my parents were gone. I also have watched cats several times while they’re owners are away. I work 2 part time jobs, so weekday care might look differently than the weekend, but I am always willing to try and fit watching your pet into it my schedule! When I had my own dog I would feed and give water to her everyday, take her out to potty multiple times a day, take her on walks, and play. With cats, I always make sure they’re fed and have water, litter box is clean, and if they would like to play I play with them!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 13 years and have experienced with a range of animals. Ive grown up with and taking care of dogs and also have experience with cats and horses. I’m considered my family and friends dog whisperer and go to for training and introducing dogs to one another. I’m a big believer that pets aren’t more than just pets, they’re our furry family members and deserve all the love in the world! I currently work full time but get home around 4 for evening play dates with the pups! I’m also available during the weekend and every other Friday for walks or check ins. I love an active lifestyle and love walks so I am more than able to walk the pups! I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am happy to go out and walk around as much as a dog may like!
“Leslie was very prompt and thorough. Jinx was very happy with her. I also appreciate her flexibility when my schedule changed. I highly recommend Leslie. She was the best.”
“Jennifer was lovely! She house sat for our three cats, which includes two rambunctious kittens. She followed instructions and provided updates, and left our house in great condition.”
“Rebecca took great care of my cats during the week I was gone. She is reliable, thorough, and obviously loves animals. I'll absolutely have Rebecca take care of my fur babies the next time I'm out of town. Beth”
“Samantha was great with my 2 cats. She sent us lovely pictures everyday and kept us informed about all their activities which is very important with a sick, senior cat. When we came back after 4 days my cats were very relax like if we had never left which is a total relief. I am planing on using her services in the near future again and I highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We were very impressed by Angela. We went out of state and Angela took care of our 2 senior boys (cats). We came home to happy boys and their areas were all taken care of. She sent us plenty of pictures and even a video of the boys along the way! We will definitely be booking Angela from now on for all of our traveling.”
“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: I have lived with a dog my whole life. I walk, feed, and play with my 170 lbs mastiff. I also walk, feed, and play with my neighbors 3 dogs, one of which has trouble walking and getting up and down the steps. I just graduated from college and currently not working, which makes my schedule pretty free. I am open to early mornings and/ or late night walks and feeds! If the house does not have a fence I will keep a leash on at all times to help ensure the dogs safety and help prevent them from running away.
“Nora did a drop-in visit for me this evening. Great communication, sent pictures of her with the dogs in the back yard. Looking forward to having her take care of them in the future!”

“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!”

“Layla has been coming to Dan’s for a few weeks now. She comes home happy and tired! He is easy to communicate with and his outdoor space is giant. Plenty of space to run around. I recommend!”
“Katherine is really a sweet person, she treated my Pudge as her own, it was my dog first time in a daycare away from us and he is not a easy dog. She communicated and kept us updated on how my dog was doing and tried her best to make him feel at home. I will be booking her again in the future ?”
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.

Additionally, I have a spacious, fully fenced yard where your pet can play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time in a safe, secure environment. Whether it’s a game of fetch or a relaxing afternoon in the sun, your pet will have plenty of room to stretch their legs and have fun! Welcome to our family home, where we love pets just as much as you do! I’m personally dedicated to taking care of your furry friends, and I promise they’ll feel right at home here. Each day, your pet will enjoy morning walks, playtime in our fully fenced yard, and plenty of cozy cuddle sessions. My routine includes interactive play throughout the day and plenty of relaxing downtime, especially in the evenings when we snuggle up on the couch. I ensure that each pet gets the love and attention they deserve, and because this is a family environment, your pet will not only feel safe and cared for—they’ll become a part of the family. Rest assured, I will be the one providing all the care, ensuring your pet is happy, loved, and always treated like a cherished member of our family. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard where your pet can play, explore, and enjoy outdoor time in a safe, secure environment. Your pet will have plenty of room to stretch their legs and have fun!
“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!”
About: Hello! My name is Sayuri, and dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up in a family that always had dogs, so caring for and understanding dogs has been natural to me from an early age. I have many years of experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. After losing my beloved dog in 2002, I welcomed a rescue dog into my life in 2015. Today, I share my home with Layla, my 6-year-old female Labrador Retriever, who is a loving and gentle companion. I have also cared for my son’s girlfriend’s two puppies when they stayed with us during their travels. I treated them just like my own dogs, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and a safe and comfortable environment. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, boarding, feeding, and playtime. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I always provide patient, attentive, and loving care. Your pets are family, and I will care for them with the same love and attention I provide to my own Layla. Your dog's routine will always come first. Since I work from home, I am available throughout the day to provide attention, companionship, and supervision. I am able to adjust my schedule to match your dog's normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, and rest periods. Because I am home most of the time, your dog will not be left unattended. When spending time in our spacious fenced backyard, I carefully supervise outdoor activities to make sure your dog stays safe while enjoying fresh air, playtime, and exploring. During the warmer months, dogs may also enjoy supervised pool time if they are comfortable with water. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because we have a large, fully fenced backyard with both grassy areas and woods, I introduce every dog to the outdoor space slowly and carefully. At first, outdoor time will be supervised with a leash so your dog can become comfortable with the new environment. As your dog becomes more familiar and confident, I may gradually increase freedom with a longer leash while continuing to closely observe their behavior. Once I feel your dog is completely comfortable and safe, they can enjoy supervised exploring and walking through the wooded area of our backyard. At night, your dog will stay comfortably inside our home. They are welcome to sleep on the floor or in their preferred sleeping area. If your dog feels more comfortable in a crate, I can move their crate upstairs and place it next to my bed so they can feel secure and relaxed throughout the night. Please feel free to contact me anytime with questions, special instructions, or anything that will help your dog feel more comfortable during their stay. I want every dog to feel safe, loved, and at home.
“If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and provide top-notch care, I recommend Sruthi. She is a gem in my experience, and I will definitely be booking her services again in the future. She sends pictures and keeps you in the loop throughout the entire time! We definitely felt at ease with her taking care of our boy Milo. Thank you for taking such a great care of my baby!”
About: Hello! While I don’t have any specific training on animals I grew up with a variety of pets all my life. I’m fond of our furry companions and have learned their needs and special requirements tailored to their unique personalities. I have a lot of downtime and can provide cuddles and or distance. I’ve never struggled with any pet, I enjoy offering extra care and even have a grooming station if needed. I love to be active as well so walking wont be a problem. I work from home for now. I do have appointments throughout the week sometimes but do not take longer than 2 hours. I wake up early and sleep late for potty break needs. I’m usually done with work around 2 and can take them to a park after or on the weekends. In my home I can crate dogs if preferred or let them roam freely at my place. My apartment complex has a little dog park and plenty of walking trails around the neighborhood for exercising needs. During our outings I will avoid other pets just for safety reasons. I have my own car that can be used for emergencies or longer trips to better pet friendly parks. They can sleep anywhere they’d like. If in your home, I will carefully do exactly as you say/request. So please provide a clear and detailed description of your baby’s routine. Thank you for your consideration!
About: Looking for an experienced caregiver while you travel? Look no further! I’ve worked at a dog daycare, vet clinic, and own a successful dog training business so I’m familiar with different personalities. I also know how to help your dog feel at home and care for them like my own! I’ve helped many clients raise puppies so I’m familiar with the specific needs of caring for a puppy as well as caring for my own senior pups over the years. I’m a stay at home mom so your pup will get plenty of love and attention while you’re away! Your pup will be cared for like our own! I have a fenced 1/2 acre fully secure backyard and two pups of my own to keep yours company! They’ll have a blast running around the yard and in our home.
About: I have a long, sturdy fence that offers total peace of mind. Whether it's a puppy with zero recall or a senior who gets disoriented, they can enjoy the fresh air safely and off-leash under my constant supervision. I am happy to reinforce your consistency with house-training and basic manners. As a dedicated dog lover, pet care isn't a side task it’s my daily rhythm. I work from home, meaning your dog has constant companionship and immediate access to my secure, long-fenced yard for frequent "zoomies" or sunbathing. My long, secure fence is the backbone of my safety protocol. It allows for off-leash "zoomies" and exploration without the risk of bolting. I never leave dogs unattended in the yard; I am always out there with them.
About: I’ve been both cat and dog sitting independently since middle school, and I thought Rover would be a great opportunity while I’m in still in college! I am currently a full-time online student so I’m available to take care of you pets anytime! I have a very open availability and can most likely make anything work! I have two dogs of my own who love meeting new friends, and a very safe fenced in backyard with more than enough room to run! As for your home, I can work with anything!
“Ingrid was fantastic with Zazu! Also very responsive and accepted last-minute booking and sent tons of pictures and videos. If I am ever in the area again, I will surely be going to her.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets, including feeding, walks, playtime. I treat every pet like family and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. I can do pet sitting in the mornings, lunch time, evenings and weekends to fit your busy schedule and provide loving care to cats, dogs and reptiles I am working from home, have fenced yard, small friendly dog and kids that love animals, if you prefer me to host your pet. I can also visit your pets at your house if it works better for you.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine compassionate care I bring to ensuring your pet feels completely safe, loved, and understood while you are away. I focus on creating a gentle, stress-free environment tailored entirely to your furry friends’ comforting daily routines. Beyond dogs and cats, I have specialized experience with the delicate needs of small animals like rabbits, and would be more than happy to care for pets of any size! I am a recent GW grad and I have a very flexible schedule. Aside from doing occasional tutoring sessions throughout the week, I am home for the majority of the day and have the time to dedicate myself to taking care of your furry friend! When caring for pets in their own space, my primary goal is to maintain their established routine exactly as they know it to minimize anxiety. When a pet stays with me, they are welcomed into a structured, highly supervised, and pet-safe environment designed to feel like a second home. I love all animals and want to make them feel safe in any environment!
About: We have owned at least 2 dogs at any given time for the past 30 years and truly believe no home is complete without at least 4 paws. Our family currently has 3 dogs, with plenty of room for furry friend visitors in our 4500 square foot house and acre-and-a-half fenced in yard. I am a stay-at-home mom and my husband works from home so we are around the house at the beck and call of our dog guests 24/7. Our children have grown up with dogs of all kinds (we currently have a giant 3-year old male Great Pyrenees, a 14-year old mostly deaf female Bichon Frise, and a tiny 4 year old female chihuahua mix, who together have taught our kids how to be respectful and conscious of animals in all walks of life). That being said, for the safety of our household, we can only board dogs who are family-friendly. We are homebodies who enjoy staying in, so we are around and available nearly 24/7/365. We already care for our 3 dogs around-the-clock and would be honored to be trusted to add your dog to the mix as well. We have a fenced in yard to let dogs in and out on demand (which is already constant here anyway) and a laid back routine that can easily accommodate whatever else your pet might need. Our dogs are family members, and yours would be too for their entire stay with us. Never left alone and spoiled with attention, there isn’t a care in the world once they set foot in the door — fed, watered, walked, exercised, loved, and played with! Direct access from the house to the fenced-in backyard makes potty breaks a breeze and fresh air an easy bonus throughout the day.
“Lydia Is an awesome sitter! My dog Bennett absolutely thrives there, she takes him on little adventures he plays outside it’s wonderful! I would highly recommend her! She also sends pictures all the time which I adore!”

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.
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by animals and have dedicated my life to understanding and supporting their needs. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked professionally as a veterinary technician in a veterinary office in Utah, giving me a strong medical background and the ability to recognize and respond to a wide range of health and behavioral concerns. My experience also includes working in multiple kennels across many states where I cared for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This has given me the skills to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. At home, I’m a proud pet owner myself. I have a 13-year-old Chihuahua that I’ve raised since he was a puppy, as well as an 11-year-old pit bull mix I rescued from a shelter in 2017, and my beloved cat I adopted in 2023. My own pets have given me firsthand experience with aging animals, rescue care, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated like family—with compassion, experience, and the highest level of care. I am open most days, as I homeschool my child. Saturday afternoons are usually reserved for personal time but I am available in the morning and night. I can let your dog out in your back yard, take them for a walk, clean litter boxes, do playtime, give food, water, and medications on their schedule.
“Jenny was amazing!!! She did a meet and greet before the visit to get the layout and meet the dogs. On the day of the visit she sent me messages and pictures. The dog she walked was a new rescue and can be a little difficult because she is deaf but Jenny was wonderful with her. I know I will be calling her again soon to take care of my dogs.”
“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 owned a dog for 13 years before she passed away, I was in charge of feeding her and I would take care of her while my parents were gone. I also have watched cats several times while they’re owners are away. I work 2 part time jobs, so weekday care might look differently than the weekend, but I am always willing to try and fit watching your pet into it my schedule! When I had my own dog I would feed and give water to her everyday, take her out to potty multiple times a day, take her on walks, and play. With cats, I always make sure they’re fed and have water, litter box is clean, and if they would like to play I play with them!
About: I am very kind and peaceful. I know how to approach and introduce myself to pets I've never met. I was raised with dogs and cats in my childhood home and I have been blessed with four dogs of my own and one cat throughout my adult life. My last dog, Cody (a Boston Terrier), passed in September 2016 and since then I enjoy cuddling, nurturing, and playing with my own grandpups (3) who are very happy and excited when they come for sleepovers at my house frequently. I am a business owner working from home which allows a flexible schedule for me and I have the ability to meet client's pets' needs easily because the work I perform is not 9-5. I live in a house on 1/2 acre with a fenced back yard. There is plenty of safe play room for pets. They will have free reign for stays in my home depending on their behavioral needs, just as my own dogs experienced during their lives. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood where I am able to walk dogs by wooded areas and small fields, and also can take them to terrific nearby parks for outside time.
About: Ive had pets my whole life, dogs, cats, hamsters, snakes, ferrets… I could go on forever! Ive cared for senior and baby animals, and farm animals too! Theres really nothing I cant handle :) I have two cats, Mo and Flynn. I absolutely love caring for them! I also enjoy pet and house sitting over the summers, weekends, whenever you need me! I am dedicated, trustworthy, and devoted! I love seeing my pets safe and happy, and it makes all the difference knowing my pets are in good hands when Im out of town. I would love to give you that same comfort!
About: I’ve never dog sit for someone else before but I would love the opportunity to do so! I have two dogs of my own so I know how to take care of them, give them their proper food, and take them on long and short walks! :) Im currently working part time at my job so for the most part i’m available! Best days and times for me would be Thursday, Friday, and the weekends preferably in the late morning, afternoon, or evening! At my house we have a lot of gates and fenced off areas so that they won’t pee or make messes. If needed I can easily do so! I can also try to feed them specific foods you might have and such.
About: I’ve been both cat and dog sitting independently since middle school, and I thought Rover would be a great opportunity while I’m in still in college! I am currently a full-time online student so I’m available to take care of you pets anytime! I have a very open availability and can most likely make anything work! I have two dogs of my own who love meeting new friends, and a very safe fenced in backyard with more than enough room to run! As for your home, I can work with anything!
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.
“Jessie has been wonderful with our pup Sadie. She is a great communicator and texts updates if there are any changes to the schedule. It’s fun to see all the pictures she adds to the daily report. We appreciate all she does for Sadie.”
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience taking care of animals as small as fish to as big as horses. I’ve also taken care of old dogs with special health needs and puppies. Just moved to the area so looking to pick up some new clients as I look for a more full time job. My availability may fluctuate as this happens but I’m happy to work with you as best as I can through any changes! With all pet care I always follow instructions to a T and am quick to notice if something is off with a pet. With overnight sitting I also tend to make sure the house stays neat and pets get lots of attention.
“Did a great job with my dog. Great communication, got along well with my dog and we scheduled a meet and greet before the first walk. She sent pictures of my dog during the walk and after. Locked the house up fine. No issues. I would definitely use again.”
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!
About: Hi!! My name is Sydney, I’m 23 years old and I’m a student physical therapist at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Being a full-time student it hasn’t been ideal for me to have a scheduled job, so I love when I get the opportunity to dog/cat sit for my friends and family when needed. My boyfriend and I have a cat of our own named Scarlett, who we love to spoil on the daily. I am very flexible on the weekends and would love to have the opportunity of taking care of your furbaby! I am a full-time grad student during the week, however, my weekends are always very flexible. I would love to have your pets accompany me in my relaxing free time! I don’t mind having pets up on my couch/bed, as long as it’s not a rule in your home to keep them off the furniture. My boyfriend and I live in a home with minimum yardage, however, we live in the heart of Mount airy, with a beautiful downtown area near parks to take dogs for walks!

“Amazing!!! Samantha and her family watched our corgi, Momo, for two whole weeks. We got daily pictures and videos and updates, which we LOVED. She took great care of him and treated him like her own <3 He really fell in love with them (and with Winston, their friendly family dog). I’m not sure Momo wanted to come home hahaha. Best experience I could’ve asked for!”
“Karen was amazing with Jazzy! Our dog has significant separation anxiety, but Karen immediately understood her needs and knew exactly how to help her feel comfortable and secure. The farmland is a huge plus offering plenty of safe, private space for dogs to play and explore. Best of all, Karen and her family treated Jazzy like one of their own. We had complete peace of mind knowing our fur baby was so well cared for, and we're incredibly grateful to have found a sitter we trust. The ample pictures and videos were an added bonus! We'll definitely be back again and again!”
“Terri was the epitome of perfect. She was just what my pet Blossom needed. Attention, affection, love, she filled all of those things, and then some. She took many pictures kept us up-to-date, and eased my anxiety!!! I would use her again and again and again, top-notch for sure!!!”
“Christa did a fantastic job with Dirk! Thru the pictures taken you could certainly tell they took him in and treated Dirk as their own. He loved Christa's kids and we were very comfortable knowing he was being taken care of so well. We would highly recommend Christa!”
“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!”
“Renee was very easy to work with! My dog seemed to enjoy her time with Renee. Renee was flexible, kind, and easy to talk to. We will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Jen was awesome with Max and Daizy! I’m always a little nervous leaving them, but she made me feel so much better with updates and how well she handled everything. My pups can be a little particular, and she did great with them. You can tell she really cares. Definitely would book her again!”
“Marylee (and her husband) were amazing!! I pick Rover people based on if I would want to stay with them lol!! At the meet and greet she was very thorough with her questions about the cat and dog and making sure all their needs were met. It felt like she has an understanding about the types of issues that could arise and how to deal with them. Very organized. Very attentive, warm loving people. I was sent updates and photos throughout my time away. Her yard is crazy big and beautiful and fenced in. My dog LOVED it! She was able to accommodate my daughter’s cat at the same time last minute. I felt so secure knowing they were being well taken care of while I was gone. Cat had her little cat tower and pictures of the cat by the glass door able to look outside and see everything. I am done searching for Rover people… will definitely use Marylee again. Excellent!!”
“They are such great fur baby sitters! Jax came home happy and not stressed at all. I loved getting all the updates and pictures and will definitely book with them again!”
“Our dog loves staying with Nat and Ally! She has the best time running around with their dog and they take great care of her. Thrilled to book with them again and would/will do so again in a heartbeat!”
“Jason went above and beyond taking care of our pup. We got daily updates and could thoroughly enjoy our time away knowing our dog was taken care of by someone we could trust to give him the best care. Highly recommend!”
“We have now used Evvery twice and once again it was an awesome experience. Our dog was in great hands, we received regular updates, and we were completely at ease while traveling. She has an amazing approach with our dog, and gives him the affection and time he needs. We couldn't be happier with the experience, and recommend Evvery to everyone. Just don't book her when we need her! :-)”
“Dan was awesome! We were coming in from out of town and he was super understanding and worked perfectly with our schedule. His yard was great for the dogs and he cared for them like they were his. Updated us with videos of them playing and having fun. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing boarding for their dogs.”
“As always Jennifer is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I joke that when we go on vacation, so does our Roxie. She truly lives her best life with her. If you are looking for a sitter who loves your pup as much as you, look no more. Roxie even came home with a Christmas gift.”
“Rodney and Marissa loved on and took care of my big baby. They are very patient and first class when it came to handling Eros, who is a handful! I highly recommend them and will continue to work with them in the future.”
“Kathy was wonderful and sent daily updates. Our dog has never been with a stranger during a vacation so we were nervous but she had our mind at ease the whole time. We did a meet and greet and she was welcoming and great with the dog. Everything went smoothly and we couldn’t be happier.”
“Words cannot express my satisfaction having Annette look after Axel. Learning of her experience with fosters it was a no brainer to book with her. My experience dropping off and picking up, seeing her interact with my boy and hearing how she handled situations with him, solidified she will be my go to sitter. It was wonderful peace of mind to know Axel would be taken care of in a lovely home environment.”
“Olivia was exactly who we needed for our trip to the area to visit family! She and her partner were responsive during arrival and departure, gave specific updates with photos, and were very kind. Olivia was more than willing to accommodate our request to visit with our pup but we ended up not having time. She had a fenced in yard so we knew our girl would get outdoor time whenever she needed it. I would definitely recommend Olivia and will use her again when I’m in the area.”
