“Lovely couple with a baby and a toddler. Buffy had to warm up to Parker, their German Shepherd but I hear it went well. Tyler and wife watched Buffy on a holiday, July 4th. They were very gracious when I requested an itinerary change. I felt like they were really attuned to Buff-dog. Will definitely ask again for their assistance.Highly recommend.”
“Ahhhmazing!!! Michelle will absolutely be our go to dog sitter! Oliver is still a puppy so he is high energy and still working on his potty training. This was our first time using rover and his first time away from us. Michelle took care of him above and beyond our expectations! She sent us model pictures of him daily (much better than he lets us take of him, so we have new profile pics of him, lol!) She provided daily updates with the pics too, all of which gave us complete peace of mind! We couldn’t have had a better experience and that made our vacation that much more relaxing. We are extremely thankful to Michelle for treating Oliver like her own! 😊”
“Kelly and Maurice are amazing!! They took such great care of our mini Goldendoodle while we were away. From the moment we met them, we felt confident that our pup was in good hands. They provided consistent updates, pictures, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. They followed all of our instructions and even went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt at home. We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring. We will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Katelyn is amazing and helped our family on short notice when we had to fly to another state for a funeral. She took amazing care of Gary and he was well-loved by her children and her husky, Balto. I highly recommend her!”
“Honest review.. initially I was extremely nervous for boarding with anyone. We typically board with his Vet but they were having plumbing issues, and one time in the past I booked at a “top” pet resort and had a bad experience. So I was extremely reluctant Lynette and Vincent were AMAZING at caring for my Eleven. I was very impressed with the constant updates and”
“Shuling was amazing! She sent us pictures and videos the whole time and made it easier to be apart from our pup. Bailey had a great time playing with the host’s dog and family. Honestly, it looked like a summer camp for the doggies :) 100% recommend her and will use her services again. Jake and Ana”
“Amazing experience! Bailey became a part of Diana’s family and felt very safe. He went on adventures, many walks along the water and received much love and care. Diana sent us daily updates, pictures and videos. It was an easy and reliable communication with her. We will definitely return in the future.”
“I appreciate the confidence you have given me through your service. I get to go away for work or vacation with absolutely no stress or worries for my pup's care. Truly, he probably likes his vacation too! He's not as excited coming home as he is when he's going. But I guess we're all like that when it comes to vacations.💯”
“Dana is the perfect fit for our little nervous Annie. Dana respected my wishes and took extra time to make Annie comfortable. She even allowed our pup to sleep with her. I loved getting pictures and updates. We have been doing a few trial visits and now I have NO hesitation in using her for the week we go on vacation. Thank you Dana!”
“Kimberly and her family made Ruthie fe right at home and provided her with a home away from home! They were so kind and accommodating to her. Ruthie gets anxious knowing kennels and sometimes doesn’t like other dogs, so this is the perfect solution for her. She was treated like family! We will definitely be back!”
“Chris was awesome! He provided regular communication and updates. He also treated my pet like his own. It was clear that Chris gave Ziggy great care and attention. Thanks!”
“Luba & James were great with our Penny! They were flexible, communicated quickly, and sent lots of photos. They watched her for our wedding weekend and coordinated the pick-up and drop-off of Penny to attend the wedding. Their dog Nellie was very sweet and easy going. We would use them again in the future!”
“Michelle took care of my dog, Sophie, while I was visiting my family in Boston for four days, and she was great! She sent me updates and pictures daily and gave me prompt responses when I asked her questions. Sophie had a great time with her new friends, Tanner and Rosie! I appreciate Michelle sleeping with Sophie and giving her a lot of love while I was out of town. I highly recommended her!!”
“Yukia was awesome! My dog left her house very happy. She took him on walks and he got to play with other dogs. She also worked with me and added an extra day when I realized I messed up the schedule. I highly recommend Yukia.”
“Mady was great, very nice and you can tell she has a genuine love of dogs. Mady has a pair of friendly dogs that played well with mine. She sent pictures daily and kept us updated on how our dog was doing. Highly recommend and will use her services again in the future.”
“What a lovely experience working with Beth. She put our dog at ease and gave her an active, nurturing stay. I really appreciated Beth's flexibility when we needed to modify our pick up times. Looking forward to working with Beth again!”
“Candice was so sweet with our girl! Kept in touch and sent pictures every day. She even accommodated her need to sleep near people😂. Our flight was delayed and she took the stress out of the whole thing. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Maizie is a very shy girl with people. So dropping her at a sitter is usually a bit difficult for her. Elaine had 2 other dogs arriving too which brings Maizie out of her funk. She had a blast running around the fenced yard. All in all she came home very happy.”
“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”

About: Hi! Cats have always been a huge part of my life, and I have years of experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I have a cat of my own, foster cats and kittens, and have worked in animal shelters caring for everything from tiny neonatal kittens to senior cats. Through my shelter experience, I’ve cared for friendly, shy, fearful, and even feral cats, so I understand that every cat has different needs and comfort levels. I use Fear Free handling techniques whenever possible to help cats feel safe, respected, and as stress-free as possible. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and following any special care instructions your cat may need. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet company, or simply needs someone to keep their routine consistent while you’re away, I’ll provide patient, compassionate care and treat them like one of my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your cat is in experienced, caring, and reliable hands.
About: Apart from the 9 years I was in the Navy, there has never been a time in my life where there wasn't a cat in my household. The cats we had were often my only friends, and they often display a depth of emotion, personality and intelligence that society sadly tends to dismiss. I have three senior cats of my own, so I am experienced in administering pills and supplements (I am not experienced in injections, though). All three of my cats are also harness and leash trained, and Mango knows how to open doors and lead me to exactly what he wants!
About: I've taken care of pets my entire life, I currently have 3 senior cats and 1 senior dog. I have 2 years of experience working in pet care facilities so I'm more than capable of handling all types of dogs and cats, including reactive/possessive dogs. I've been trained in cleaning, playing, monitoring play groups, feeding, and giving medication to all different sizes, breeds, and reactivity of dogs. I believe every pet deserve love and patience and I enjoy providing them with that. I also worked specifically with reactive/aggressive dogs for a year so feel free to reach out if you're dog needs a little more effort than most. :) I don't currently have a set schedule so feel free to reach out and we can figure out what works best for myself and your pets. I can walk, play with, feed, let out to potty, clean up after, and give meds to your wonderful pets depending on your needs. :)
“Courtney was absolutely amazing. She sent plenty of photos along with thoughtful, detailed updates, and my cat clearly adored her. I’m so grateful for her — especially for being so flexible on such short notice. I would book her again in a heartbeat, 1000%!”
“Kaylee, is so sweet and professional. Chase seems to really enjoy her company. She followed directions and communicated well with any concerns or questions. I’m looking forward to working with Kaylee again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jake, who stopped by twice to care for our three cats and did an amazing job! Communication was excellent throughout, and he was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about our cats’ well-being. We would absolutely trust Jake again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and trustworthy pet care.”
“Jessica did a great job checking in on our puppies while we are out of town. She was able to assist us with last minute request! Our pets love her and she provides timely updates and pictures on how they are doing. Jessica has become our go to provider for pet sitting and check ins.”
“Great service. Taylor kept in touch with me the entire time. My BigBoy was taken great care of and Thank you for the extras you took care of too. Will definitely use her again.”
“Jessica was very responsible and extremely caring and hands-on with our senior cat (and hamster too). She did several check-ins a day and spent many overnights which requires a high level of trust and Jessica went above and beyond. She communicated constantly with updates, pictures and videos (seriously, top-notch communication) and she left our home in perfect condition. Our animals took right to her and I am grateful to have found someone so kind and committed.”
“Randi was wonderful!!! If she is available I will be re hire. I have used Rover in the past and she is the first I will re hire for future pet sitting needs. Thank You Randi for taking such great care of my babies.”
“Chasity is always amazing. She takes such good care of our dos and always plays with our cat even though we don’t even ask for her to care for her. She sends lots of pics and always goes the extra mile. We really appreciate her.”
About: I have had breeds of all shapes and sized my entire life. I care for my 2 year old border collie and I have experience handling cats as well. I want to make your pets feel at home even when you are away. I would want the best from my boy when I am away, so I want to provide that service to others! I am full-time employee so I can stop in before and after work on weekdays, and I am free weekends for endless playing !

“Faith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogs—even administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We weren’t sure how many drop-ins we’d need or how long we’d be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was awesome - caring and responsible and a great communicator. I had such peace of mind having her house sit our old fur babies and would highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

“Lucy and Daniel are a great team for the best doggy daycare you could ever want/need for your dog! My dog is extremely needy and they gave him nothing but love. We look forward to next time!”

“Diana and her family were nice enough to watch our dog on short notice for a few hours while we were driving through from out of town. Worked out great! Very nice people and our dog came back to us happy.”
About: Hi there! I have been caring for animals since a very young age. Growing up, we always had at least 2 dogs and raised litters of puppies at times. I had a sweet boy of my own (Nixon, in my profile photo) who I raised from a pup, but sadly passed away this year. I am an active person and love caring for animals, taking them for ample walks and pup cups, or just good company! Having a pet by my side is natural for me and would love to care for yours! I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule so I have ample time to take pets for walks, play, and they will never be lonely if staying with me! We have a townhome in Eastport which is a very walkable area and there is a backyard of green space for easy access potty breaks. Always will be leashed. I previously had a husky that wasn’t trusted off leash so I am overly cautious on that! Pets are allowed on furniture/ beds if owners allow. We have several decks if they like to look out and the boat action or sunbathe!
“Marta was terrific!! She sent us pictures throughout our puppy’s stay with her and even sent him home with some of her homemade treats. Definitely will be sending our puppy to her again in the future. 5/5 would recommend !”
About: Throughout this process I'm excited to meet all types of dogs! I love all breeds and sizes! Home is equipped with a secured 6’ privacy fence around approx. 1 acre for maximum play time or lounging. We have an almost 1 year old dog named Maggie who is very sweet, submissive, and loves to play and have doggie friends. Your baby will have a great time with us in our home! From training to loving and play, walking and feeding, it comes naturally to me and I can't imagine my life not surrounded by dogs or animals in general. You can count on me to handle any quirks, and treat your pet like my own - spoiled with scratches and belly rubs and play time! I work from home Monday through Friday so I will be very attentive to your pup for the full day they are here! We can coordinate many different drop off or pick up times to make it convenient for you I plan to make your dog, puppy feel as comfy as possible whether that means playing, cuddling, walking or being admired from a distance. I also plan to pay attention to all instructions provided and making sure you feel comfortable with me caring for your little love.
“Kacie is amazing!!!! This is the first Wag daycare where my pup came home totally exhausted! She went on walks and got to go to the dog park. Thanks for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Maggie had a great time having a calm day with Dana instead of staying home for our 3 year old daughter’s birthday party (with 12 other 3 year olds!) - Dana was really responsive and very responsible and Maggie was so happy!”
“Can’t thank Sydney enough for a wonderful day at her home for Aurora! Everything was perfect, with plenty of room to run outside and enjoy the outdoors. Even made a new friend! Can’t wait to be back again soon.”
“If I could give Lindsay 10 STARS I would!!! If you're traveling to the Annapolis area and don't know who to trust with your most precious asset - your pup (this was me!) - choose Lindsay! As you can see from all of Lindsays reviews, she is amazing with animals - its in her heart - but what makes Lindsay stands apart is her responsiveness, her communication, her ability to work with your schedule. She is so kind, and loving towards your dog, that you can enjoy your time away with peace in your heart. Thank you for everything Lindsay! <3”

“Jessica has been wonderful! I needed help on short notice for my energetic Staffy/Lab mix while I worked overnight shifts, and she exceeded my expectations. She was great with my dog from the very first meet and greet, and clearly has experience handling larger, high-energy dogs. She provided a full 30 minute walk, updates with photos, notes about the visit, and even tracked potty breaks and checked her water. Knowing my dog was getting exercise and attention in the middle of my 12 hour shift made a huge difference and greatly reduced my stress. Jessica has been reliable, professional, communicative, and caring. My dog absolutely loves her, and I feel completely comfortable having her care for my pet. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker!”
About: Lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I grew up with two family dogs and now have a 6-year-old “super mutt” named Mija who completely runs the household (and honestly, I’m okay with that). I’m responsible, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely happiest when I’m around animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just a calm comforting presence, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously — while still making sure your furry family member has a fun, loving experience. I currently work part time in e-commerce and my availability is very flexible. I’m working towards a real estate license and my long-term goal is to retire my mom! I have experience caring for and walking dogs of all breeds and sizes, including large breeds that require confidence, awareness, and strong handling skills. Safety is always my top priority, and I have exceptional risk assessment when it comes to walks, environments, and interactions with other animals. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions and routines. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important structure, consistency, and enrichment are for pets. My own dog thrives on her daily routines and knows exactly when it’s time for walks, dinner, and her nightly “search and find” game. I genuinely love building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away.

I work remotely and have very flexible hours, so your pet will have plenty of time, walking, snuggling, and being active.

Pets are welcome to be on furniture and in bed! I’m an excellent communicator, and will work collaboratively with you to determine the best care plan for your pet.

About: I grew up with two dogs, a cat, and many fish! As an adult I had a cat and lizard who have sadly passed away recently. I now have a 2 year old German Shepard mix who is very fun and goofy! I love animals of all ages and sizes and often help out friends and family with watching their pets when they are out of town. I promise to take great care of everyone’s fur and/scale children! I am a teacher so I am off during the summer (starting June 16th) and have unlimited time for whatever your pet needs! Whether it is walking, feeding, and/or just spending quality time with them: I will be there! I am available to come to your home, and will promise to treat your home with respect! At my home I have a fenced in yard and a pup that loves making new friends!
About: I'm a very energetic person so I will always play with the pets and I'm always making sure they are well looked after. I have taken care of plenty of pets aging from young puppies and kittens to older. When taking care of cats I have plenty of toys and things for them to climb on. I have also taken care of pets that have special needs. Like diabetics and other things. I know how to give medications oral and in shot form. Special skills would be probably that I can keep up with any animal and I love all of them. They put a smile on my face. And I love seeing owners with the same smiles. It warms my heart every day. ? I'm usually free most of the day and love cuddles and walking with the pups and kitties. So scheduling will be easy and always available. I have a fenced in yard and a dog and cat that love others. We can play and go for walks. Also tons of activities to do.

“Lovely couple with a baby and a toddler. Buffy had to warm up to Parker, their German Shepherd but I hear it went well. Tyler and wife watched Buffy on a holiday, July 4th. They were very gracious when I requested an itinerary change. I felt like they were really attuned to Buff-dog. Will definitely ask again for their assistance.Highly recommend.”
“Ahhhmazing!!! Michelle will absolutely be our go to dog sitter! Oliver is still a puppy so he is high energy and still working on his potty training. This was our first time using rover and his first time away from us. Michelle took care of him above and beyond our expectations! She sent us model pictures of him daily (much better than he lets us take of him, so we have new profile pics of him, lol!) She provided daily updates with the pics too, all of which gave us complete peace of mind! We couldn’t have had a better experience and that made our vacation that much more relaxing. We are extremely thankful to Michelle for treating Oliver like her own! 😊”
“I appreciate the confidence you have given me through your service. I get to go away for work or vacation with absolutely no stress or worries for my pup's care. Truly, he probably likes his vacation too! He's not as excited coming home as he is when he's going. But I guess we're all like that when it comes to vacations.💯”
“Dana is the perfect fit for our little nervous Annie. Dana respected my wishes and took extra time to make Annie comfortable. She even allowed our pup to sleep with her. I loved getting pictures and updates. We have been doing a few trial visits and now I have NO hesitation in using her for the week we go on vacation. Thank you Dana!”
“Kimberly and her family made Ruthie fe right at home and provided her with a home away from home! They were so kind and accommodating to her. Ruthie gets anxious knowing kennels and sometimes doesn’t like other dogs, so this is the perfect solution for her. She was treated like family! We will definitely be back!”
“Chris was awesome! He provided regular communication and updates. He also treated my pet like his own. It was clear that Chris gave Ziggy great care and attention. Thanks!”
“Luba & James were great with our Penny! They were flexible, communicated quickly, and sent lots of photos. They watched her for our wedding weekend and coordinated the pick-up and drop-off of Penny to attend the wedding. Their dog Nellie was very sweet and easy going. We would use them again in the future!”
“Yukia was awesome! My dog left her house very happy. She took him on walks and he got to play with other dogs. She also worked with me and added an extra day when I realized I messed up the schedule. I highly recommend Yukia.”
“Mady was great, very nice and you can tell she has a genuine love of dogs. Mady has a pair of friendly dogs that played well with mine. She sent pictures daily and kept us updated on how our dog was doing. Highly recommend and will use her services again in the future.”
“Candice was so sweet with our girl! Kept in touch and sent pictures every day. She even accommodated her need to sleep near people😂. Our flight was delayed and she took the stress out of the whole thing. Can’t recommend enough!”
“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”
“Another awesome experience with Onayda! She cared for my Max as if he was her own during his stay! She sent me pictures and communicated with me the whole time I was gone. Absolutely love her and will continue to take my pups to her!”
“Our dogs love Kelly and George!!! They are communicative and sent us so many photos of our dogs having fun and relaxing. They are truly treated like family here!”
“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”
“I am grateful and fortunate to have Donna as a sitter. Nova loves her which makes me feel comfortable. I had an unexpected delay in my travel and she was empathetic and accommodating. Donna is friendly, personable, a true dog lover and the best sitter I’ve ever had.”
About: I have grown up with medium to large sized dogs my whole life. I have experience with very friendly dogs and dogs that cannot play with others as well as puppies to older dogs. I have cared for my own pets and friends while growing up and can be trusted with any task to ensure your pets needs and safety! I can offer dog walking in the mornings (7-9am) or afternoons (4-7pm) during the week or anytime during the weekends. I am available on the weekends to check-in or stay with your animal overnight as well. I can check-in and care for your animal during the day or overnight at clients homes. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, bathed, played with and let outside for their needs. I am comfortable with any specific instructions from the owners as well (medication that needs to be taken, crate training, etc).
“Once again we didn't hesitate to ask Stephanie to look after our little guy again while we went away. She does a great job at taking care of him and always gives us daily updates and pictures on how hes doing. We can tell that he loves staying with Stephanie and her family and it shows when he is so happy to see her when we drop him off. I recommend Stephanie to all of my friends incase they ever need someone to look after their pets.”
About: As stated, I have an 8 almost 8 year old German Shepherd myself. I’ve trained him myself to be quite obedient off leash, to listen well, and overall he’s very well behaved. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, turtles and more so I know my way around animals. I’m currently enlisted in the United States Navy. I work at the Naval Academy typically from around 9 in the morning to about 3pm most days. I’m also married with two kids and my wife is a stay at home mom who can also look after your furry friends as well. I don’t work weekends so I’m always available during the weekends and can be flexible throughout the week as well. At my home my dog is never crated he is always out and house trained. However, when looking after your fur babies if they need to be crated I have no issue catering to your needs. I don’t have a yard but we have a massive field and live in a circle so long walks are always a must. Whatever the needs of your fur babies, I can take care of those from daily dog walking, spending and playing time with your animals, staying over night at yours/my place, and giving g medicine if needed.
