“ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! Margit & Bill are amazing! We have never had our dogs with anyone other than family - well- Olivia & Riley immediately felt they had met new family members! Welcomed by their 3 sweet dogs, Margit and Bill took the time to explain their day to day schedule, all while our dogs jumped up on their laps and snuggled! I made multiple errors when booking our dates & times- they were very gracious, patient & flexible! Their son Noah, also a Rover sitter, stepped in at the end of the week and was as loving & communicative as his parents. Having daily communication and photos throughout the week was such a great way to stay in the loop and up to date on our pups. If you are looking for a place that will love your fur baby while you are away - Margit & Bill are THE BEST! Knowing we have a safe and loving home away from home for Olivia & Riley is such a great relief! Thank you Rover for employing Margit & Bill! They are worth their weight in gold! Deb A Frankford,DE”
“We were a bit apprehensive about leaving our 2-year-old Cavapoo, Ollie, with a sitter for the first time, but Sylvia put our minds at ease the moment we met her. She is incredibly caring and attentive. I loved receiving the photo updates showing Ollie happy and enjoying his stay—it meant I didn't have to worry about him at all! I can’t recommend Sylvia enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Kelly is awesome! We went to Ocean City to spend some time at the beach and Kelly is just off the main route coming from Northern Virginia. She took great care of our dog for three nights and sent us pictures at the end of each day, totally unexpected. Besides being great with animals she is just a great person. If you are in here area I would recommend giving her your business!!”
“Our dogs can be challenging and this was the first time they've ever been boarded. McCray did a great job taking care of them and giving them tons of attention...all during the holidays, which is not easy.”
“Daniela was amazing, sent us pictures and updates on our dogs during our entire trip! Will definitely reach out again on our next vacation. Thank you for everything you did, it was great knowing Jango and Rogue were well taken care of.”
“Jill was a great host for our pup! She sent lots of pictures and made sure Luna got all the love and attention she needed. As a good bonus there were a few other dogs, so Luna always had buddy, and Jill was great with managing the dog introductions and making sure everyone played well together.”
“My husband and I recently spent a week in Jamaica, and wanted to ensure our young Keeshond, Maverick, stayed somewhere that truly put his needs first. Luckily for us, we found Karen. Karen truly has a way with dogs, and right from the get-go, made us feel so comfortable with Maverick staying in her home. She has a fantastic property for walking the dogs, and we knew Maverick would have a fun time. While we were away, we received plenty of updates showing us that Maverick was happy, healthy, and completely doted on – having a fantastic time with other dog buddies! Because of Karen’s wonderful standard of care, we were able to enjoy our trip with the peace of mind our fur baby was in the best hands. Thank you, Karen!”

“Best sitter! Molly had a great time running and resting at Kate’s house for the weekend. She had an extra crate for her when I forgot mine and also kept me updated with Molly’s day. I really appreciated the short turn around as my planned sitter canceled last minute and I was scrambling to find a reliable fix! Thank you Kate!”
“Anmei was amazing with Lucas! She sent lots of pictures and videos, and he looked so happy the whole time. This was our first time being separated, and Anmei made it so easy and comforting. We’ll definitely be using her from now on. We highly recommend!!”

“This was our first time leaving our 15 week old Bernese. After meeting Beth and Ron, we felt very comfortable leaving home with them. He had a great time, he was well taken care of and Beth updated us the whole time. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to board our boy.”
“Can’t say enough how well our Sally was treated on her vacation from us! Irena and her family welcomed Sally as one of their own while we were away! Irena sent photo updates to us and we knew our girl was being well taken care of! Vacationing in Ocean City at a pet-unfriendly place? Bring your furbaby to Irena during your stay. Live in Ocean Pines or thereabouts? Irena is the perfect person to take in your beloved while you’re away!”

“Alexa was the BEST! She went above and beyond my expectations. She constantly kept me updated, sending pictures and updates about my dog, Benny, throughout the day.

“Lucia is obviously an animal lover. She visited Mac a few times before we left so he would get to know her. He’s very shy but eventually came out and sat on the couch, a big step for him. My home was in perfect condition when we returned. My mind was at ease the whole time we were away.”
About: Having lived on a farm for over 20 years, I’m worked with a lot of species. I’ve rescued, nurtured and cared for animals my whole life. 😍 Hello. I’m extremely flexible as this is a new venture for me. I want to be a reliable, knowledgeable and nurturing source for you. 😍 Pets are family to me. I believe I'm one of the best caregivers because I treat animals as I would like to treated: kindness, patience and respect.
About: I rescued my first cat when I was 3 years old. My neighbors actually found her in the woods and knew from frequent conversations that I'd been praying to God that he'd give me a kitty. Sure enough, he provided. I got to love that cat for 17 years before she passed. In that timeframe i rescued several other cats too! Having owned five cats myself, I am very familiar with different temperaments and can provide a unique experience for any feline friend as needed.
About: This is my friends cat in the profile picture I have had cats on and off since I was a child and have saved many strays turned pets. I’ve administered medicine in a cats eyes and medicine with a medicine dropper. I’ve had cats that were and were not cuddly but they all felt loved.
About: I've cared for and have had the privilege of sharing my life with dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits, and goats. I've been lucky enough to have raised three dogs from puppydom to senior pooches, all three living beyond 18. I currently share my home with a 13 years old Miniature Pinscher named Sadie. I couldn't imagine continuing on without a furry child in my life. They are central and that's how I feel about all my charges as well. I have extensive experience in caring for puppies, tweens, teens, adults and senior dogos. Unfortunately, I can no longer work with bully breed or bully mixes. I'm available anytime and often at short notice. I have no limitations or restrictions between the hours of 9A until 9P seven days a week. I can only care for small dogs (under 25 lbs) in my own home as my HOA has restrictions on pet size. In your home, your pet will be either King or Queen. They will be pampered and loved as you would want them to be.

Patience is key when meeting new pets to give them time to trust I live and work at a campground, taking care of pets is one of my duties and since I have a house on the property with a fenced in backyard, the dogs are easily able to run free in the yard with no worries of escape.

“Bella loved her stay and playing with John' pup Maddie. John was awesome! Bella took right to him and he was very attentive to Bella's needs. Bella is older and suffers from kidney disease but that did not deter John. I definitely recommend John and will be using his services in the future.”

“Margit & Bill were absolutely WONDERFUL! We felt comfortable as soon as we arrived and really appreciated photos through out the day. Our pup Ripley had a great day and when we arrived, she was happy to see us but also was super happy to stay and hang out while we chatted. She was treated so well and they followed our feeding schedule. I would recommend them over and over again. Their pups are great and got along very well with ours. We look forward to using them again. Great, great GREAT!!!”

Irene quickly answered my request and took great care of Kona. She sent me pictures throughout the day of Kona just chilling. I am very happy and will use her again.”
About: ❗️❗️🙂 CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS🙂❗️❗️ I've been working for Rover since 2017, and I can truly say that I adore this job! I mainly specialize in working with dogs and cats, however I am willing to work with different kinds of animals if needed. I'm also a Washington DC native, who has recently moved to Salisbury, Maryland 💛🖤❤️🤍 ⚠️❗️❗️UPDATE AS OF APRIL 2024❗️❗️⚠️: If you are new client and need someone for a extended stay Home Sitting, the longest I will be willing to stay is 3 to 5 days. Once you are a repeat client, I am then more comfortable staying for longer periods of time if needed. Pets will stay on routine by following whatever schedule the owner has set up. If it means getting up early to take a walk, that's what will happen. If I means getting out later in the afternoon for a walk, tha will be fine too. Pet care fits into my routine by me having a very opened schedule. I just moved to Easton, MD, so right now I'm looking to build a new client base here. While watching your pets in your home, I will always make sure I keep a watchful eye over them. I typically like to stay in an area that is open enough where I can see everything, but closed enough where the animal won't be out of site.
About: A dog is never just a pet — they are loyal friends, beloved family, and a pure source of unconditional love. I care for every dog as if they were my own, with warmth, patience, and devotion, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and truly loved while you’re away. While I’m studying for my accounting degree, pet sitting is a wonderful fit for my routine — it allows me to care for animals while balancing my studies. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy and welcoming space. The living room is spacious, with two comfortable sofas by the windows where they can relax and watch the world outside. Out back, there’s a yard with trees — perfect for fresh air and a bit of playtime. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly cul-de-sac, providing a safe and peaceful environment for your furry friend.
“Samantha is absolutely wonderful!!! She watched our dog at her home for an entire day and he was able to play in her nicely fenced yard. He was able to play with her dogs, which he does not get to do as we live in an HOA. I plan on using Samantha in the future when we need someone to care for our dog. I highly recommend her!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. But I’ve cared for my dog Tickle for 12 years now. I trained him as a puppy and care for him in his old age. I can do it all!! I’ve also cared for cats and fostered cats. I can administer medication, give baths, clean litter boxes, go for walks, and more! I am currently out of work and so I’m pretty available through out the week. I babysit sometimes but it’s usually once a week and very random. I am very careful with animals!! I know taking care of my older dog I take it very serious about what he eats. I know different animals have different rules. Also.. ANIMALS NEED LOVE!! I can give them love so they don’t feel lovely, take them for walks, give them treats and food, and anything else that is needed.
About: I provide reliable, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a 15 year old Yorkie mix and a 1 year old Yorkie. My experience includes caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, so I understand everything from basic training and routines to giving extra patience and comfort to older animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and keeping pets active, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and check-ins. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets aren’t left alone for long. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule and give them the time, supervision, and care they need. I create a safe, calm environment by following each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise pets. In your home, I respect your space while keeping your pet in their normal routine. I also provide updates and can handle special needs like medications.
“Jacqueline and William were great! We made a last minute reservation and they accommodated our drop off and pickup times which needed to be flexible since we were going kayaking and uncertain how long it would take. Will definitely use them again the next time we are Trap Pond.”
“Daniel was amazing. Ralphie felt comfortable and at home. He walked in like it was his own house and felt love. Would 10 out of 10 recommend and probably plan to have Ralphie come back. Got constant updates and pictures looking very happy.”
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.
“Have you ever had one of those days where you were just off, and everything went wrong? Well our family was having one of those *weeks*! Alexa was so understanding and just rolled with us and our chaos; from the last minute stay, to us being new to rover, forgetting to leave our leash- on and on. She was SO good with our emotionally complex German Shepherd (heehee) and gave her a home away from home to relax at. Overall, what an awesome experience.”

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds for my whole life living on our 50 acre family farm. We have horses, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, reptiles and fish! I take care of all of them and provide them with a loving and enriched environment. I can’t wait to meet your best friends, or have them for a visit! Pet care is my greatest passion and second job at home. I spend my mornings out in the fields with my horses and cows pitching hay, mucking stalls, and cuddling in the grass. I spend my evenings snuggled up with my 3 hound dogs on couch or landscaping my reptile and fish tanks for fun. I am open to the needs of all pets as I know people do things in their own way. I will carefully follow the instructions left by the client.

She took great care of our dog for three nights and sent us pictures at the end of each day, totally unexpected. Besides being great with animals she is just a great person. If you are in here area I would recommend giving her your business!!”
“Our dogs can be challenging and this was the first time they've ever been boarded. McCray did a great job taking care of them and giving them tons of attention...all during the holidays, which is not easy.”
“Daniela was amazing, sent us pictures and updates on our dogs during our entire trip! Will definitely reach out again on our next vacation. Thank you for everything you did, it was great knowing Jango and Rogue were well taken care of.”
“Jill was a great host for our pup! She sent lots of pictures and made sure Luna got all the love and attention she needed. As a good bonus there were a few other dogs, so Luna always had buddy, and Jill was great with managing the dog introductions and making sure everyone played well together.”
“My husband and I recently spent a week in Jamaica, and wanted to ensure our young Keeshond, Maverick, stayed somewhere that truly put his needs first. Luckily for us, we found Karen. Karen truly has a way with dogs, and right from the get-go, made us feel so comfortable with Maverick staying in her home. She has a fantastic property for walking the dogs, and we knew Maverick would have a fun time. While we were away, we received plenty of updates showing us that Maverick was happy, healthy, and completely doted on – having a fantastic time with other dog buddies! Because of Karen’s wonderful standard of care, we were able to enjoy our trip with the peace of mind our fur baby was in the best hands. Thank you, Karen!”

About: I love dogs and up until 3 months ago I had a rescue dog for 8 years until she developed serious medical issuse and I had her euthanized. I miss here and she was spoiled and I will do the same for your dog. I will provide plenty of walks and a nice fenced in backyard where your pet can roam free to do whatever. I allowed my dog to have free roam of my house, and your pet will have the same freedom, and I have a nice porch where your pet can lay outside and enjoy the sights. I am 75 and a retired RN. I live alone so my schedule is very flexible, with the appropriate notification. I am an early riser so your pet will be let out back first thing in the morning, then - 2or 3 walks during the day. I have a fenced in backyard and a fenced in deck above the garage so your pet can be safe in either one of the locations.
“This was our first time leaving our 15 week old Bernese. After meeting Beth and Ron, we felt very comfortable leaving home with them. He had a great time, he was well taken care of and Beth updated us the whole time. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to board our boy.”
“We had a great experience with Jacqueline, my dog enjoyed his stay. Jacqueline sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I currently have a cat and a golden retriever and would love to help you take care of your dog while you are in need.

We have over 3/4 of an acre of property and are also located in the heart of Berlin...So a walk or outside playtime is no problem.
“Alexa was the BEST! She went above and beyond my expectations. She constantly kept me updated, sending pictures and updates about my dog, Benny, throughout the day. She was born for this job and excels at it. She has a true love for your pet and treats them as her own. I would trust her with any of my pets and will definitely be using her in the future. She is wonderful and I couldn't recommend her more!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life. I used to live on a farm with goats, horses, chickens, cats, and dogs. My favorite breed is a cocker spaniel. I currently work from home all day long so I am available for around the clock attention. Pets are like family members. We all engage with each other all the time. I take breaks often and play in the backyard with the pets. My kids also loves to experience new animals in the house. We also have a great neighborhood to walk the animals.
“Let me start by saying we’ve never left our dogs overnight let alone with a total stranger. We left for 9 days and have 3 dogs and I was so nervous and had a thousand questions and accommodations I needed fulfilled. Samantha was absolutely incredible. If I could give 100 stars I would. My dogs were so loved and cared for the entire time they were in her care. The pictures I got each day were just filled with joy in each of my dogs faces. If I could afford to send them there for playtime everyday I definitely would!!! Two of my dogs had stomach issues on the 5th day or so and she made them chicken and rice and pumpkin for their meals until they felt better. She trimmed their nails. She washed their bedding. I mean what more could you ask for?! Do not hesitate in sending your animals with her. She is the best of the best! I will be sending my dogs to her house anytime we go out of town… worry free!!”
“Julia was the best sitter for Indi girl! She sent so many pictures and updates. Indi walked a TON with Julia - a couple miles each day. She was very sweet and easy to work with, we needed a sitter last second and she was such a blessing! She was so sad to see Indi leave and knowing Indi was so loved while I was gone is the best piece of mind. Would 100% recommend Julia!”
“Jenna kept me updated with photos throughout Sunny’s stay. She was super responsive from our first contact. I could tell Sunny was relaxed in her home and happy to hang out with her new kitty friend, Boo.”
“Marcus was a lifesaver, he saved my vacation! Last minute booking when my original pet sitter was snowed in with zero power or water. My girl was so happy when I picked her up. Marcus was good about sending pics the entire 7 days. Thanks Marcus for taking care of Ms. Rita! Oh and an added bonus is Marcus’s location is only 15 minutes from the airport!”
