“Jessica is amazing! She has walked Luke many times in the past and we always had a great experience with her. This time we were going on vacation and took Lukie to her for boarding. She was really great! Kept me updated the entire time and sent me pictures and videos, Luke had an amazing time and even became friends with her kitten. I would definitely recommend her. I was at ease knowing Lukie was well taken care of. She treated him like if he was her own pup.”

“April and her family took great care of our dog Tulip while we were at a family reunion at Deep Creek Lake. They sent pictures and communicated quickly when we needed to. We felt confident that Tulip was well cared for and we will try to have Tulip stay with them again if we are up this way. They are just a really nice family.”

“Jessica was a perfect sitter. She was communicative and friendly. I could tell my dog had a great time over the weekend by the amount of affection he was showing his weekend host during pickup. Thank you so much!”

“We are extremely pleased with the care Hailey provided for my dog, Milo. She was attentive, and you could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Milo seemed happy and well-looked after when I picked him up. Hailey kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. The place was clean, and Milo had plenty of space to play. I would highly recommend Hailey for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“Kaity was a lifesaver after our usual Rover pet sitter was unable to keep Suey for us while we were away. She was kind and welcoming to Suey at drop off & sent me photos and updates during her stay. I’d definitely recommend Kaity & wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future. Thanks again, Kaity!”

“Kristina and Mark were great. They were very accommodating with drop-off and pick-up schedules and always kept in touch with us, sending pictures. Our small mixed hound dog loves kids so she had a good time and enjoyed the extra attention from the girls. Next time we are in the area we'll definitely use them again.”

About: I have expertly provided consistent and loving care for cats throughout the years, managing their feeding, playtime, and health needs. I've done so in pet hotels vet clinics and in homes for people who have needed it.

About: Of taking care of cats for the last 35 years. I currently have five rescues that live like Queens and a king. I love them as much as I love my children and make sure they have everything they need or want. My home looks like a daycare with two TVs that they can interact with while watching cat videos and numerous toys Beddies blankies and whatever else they're little hearts desire. I don't consider myself to be watching your pet but watching a loved one. To truly tell you how much I care for these animals if they are on the couch or in my actual bed in my spot I will sleep elsewhere so I don't disturb any of them.
“Thea is an amazing pet sitter and person! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is completely cared for and comfortable. We’ve found our sitter and won’t hesitate to use her again and again!!”

About: I was a professional pet photographer for many years, and I have worked at a luxury pet resort. I started accepting Rover bookings in June of 2025. I will be with your dogs during the day as well as overnight, but I will need to be able to leave during the day to meet ongoing commitments. I will travel out of my area (Deep Creek, Alpine Lake) for an additional fee. I will stay with your pets in your home, where they are most comfortable. If they are used to cuddling on the couch with you while you watch television, I will do that. If they are used to being outside a lot, I will take them out (weather permitting of course).

“Jessica was amazing and my dog Donut loved her! Her experience with pets made me feel so comfortable to have her watch my dog that has a health condition. She offered when we arrived if I wanted updates throughout the day or wait until the end and I really appreciate her thoughtfulness in asking. Looking forwards to her hopefully watching him again in the future!”
“We left our dog with Jessica for the day while we went rafting. The time we could pick her up at was pushed back multiple times, but Jessica was so flexible, kind, and understanding! Would definitely recommend her services”

About: Started caring for pets since I was 10. Mostly dogs and cats along with some awesome rabbits. Neighbors, friends and family relied on me to walk, feed, play, administer medicine, clean liter boxes and give good lovin' to their beloved pets ! Lots of experience staying with pets in their home (sometimes for several weeks at a time) or coming to their home several times days for care. Realized that I was born with a natural rapport with animals. Grateful for this ability and nurtured these skills all my life. I'm currently applying for full-time work, so I'll have plenty of time (flexible hours) to love-up on your dearest dogs with walks, play and treats. Of course, belly rubs are included! Haven't had my own pet in awhile, but lived with housemates who have wonderful animal spirits (dogs, cats and bunnies) to brighten their lives and mine. When I've lived with pets, always check they have plenty of clean water and food and, depending on how they are housed, make sure they are safe in their crates or curled up in their favorite spots before I leave. Always make sure that I know where list of emergency contacts and vet info is located.

About: I work really well with animals ! I have open availability to help you out! Just let me know and I’ll see what I can do! Thank you! I have open availability to help you with pet sitting. Just let me know and I’d be happy to help you out! Thank you very much! I can pet sit anytime. I can help with feeding, and anything of the sort! Just let me know if you need me! Thank you!
