“Casey and Marwa were so great! After a thorough and thoughtful meet and greet, they watched my Lulu for the night while we moved. It was a great first experience leaving my pup with someone not family. They always make sure someone is home with the pups and sent lots of updates. Kevin was a total gentleman and Lulu was thrilled that he shared his favorite spots with her. Lulu can’t wait to go back in a few weeks and I can travel easy knowing she’s being taken such good care of!”
“Once again, our dog Benny had a great time romping with Rodney's pups. He always comes home exhausted we can tell he was well taken care of. He gets so pumped when we turn down Rodney's street! I'm so happy we have found a reliable sitter and I can rest easy knowing Benny is in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa was AMAZING with my dog. Cass is very shy, but her dog, Daisy, made the transition much easier. I appreciated that she sent me pictures of Cass daily and he looked so happy. Melissa was very understanding when I was caught in traffic on my way to her and allowed for it. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Mila was absolutely fantastic and treated Fluffy like her own dog! Our flight was delayed and we couldn't pick him up as scheduled. She was so accommodating and kept him another day. Mila even made him chicken soup for the extra day!! She went above and beyond. Fluffy loves his new grandmother, he barely looked at me when I saw him after a week :)”
“Nicole was an amazing host! She took loving care of our dog and sent frequent updates & photos. We will definitely trust her with our dog again if the need arises.”
“Crissy has great patience and is very easy to speak with. She sent me pics of my pupper and answered all questions while I was away. I highly recommend Crissy.”
“This was our second time booking and Jessica was once again AMAZING with our Chance. He loves her and vice versa! We will always leave our fur baby with her.”
“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”
“My dog Luna seemed to have enjoyed her time at Linda’s home and playing with the other dogs. Linda was communicative and flexible.i appreciated the daily photos and sometimes even videos. I will be booking with her again.”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Liz is amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone and I was nervous but she made everything so easy. She took such great care of my dog that I think he misses her now. We will be booking again in a few weeks ☺️☺️☺️”
“Danielle has done a wonderful job of caring for my dog, Hazel. She was very flexible with my schedule changing last minute, and that made things much easier for me. And the most important part - my very anxious dog came back to me happy and relaxed, not at all stressed from her time away. I'd definitely recommend Danielle and will book with her again.”
“Megan and Vincent are truly amazing. As a large cane corso puppy with extreme energy, they did great with her and treatedher as if she was one of there own. We can tell she really enjoyed her stay. Thank you for watching Echo for us while we were on vacation. We will definitely be using them again! We were updated with multiple videos or pictures daily too.”

“Bee and Pat were so great to work with and took great care of Champ! He loved walks, hanging out with their dogs, running in the yard, and chilling on the couch. I loved the morning and evening updates and pics, as well as clear communication the whole way through booking to pickup. Will definitely rebook and highly recommend!”

“This was our first booking with Emily and the first time we've left our crew of 3 kitties with anyone new. One of ours is a newly diagnosed diabetic with the need for 2x/daily insulin. Given that she was new to her and I was gone, our pouting sassy little girl was not exactly cooperative especially the first night, despite the terrific freindly meet and greet ahead of booking. Emily was very patient and creatively worked through things for the two days. We will definately use her again and with familiarity, my sassy clingy cat will be way easier...we hope. Thank you Emily!”
“Joshua was wonderful, he was timely, communicative, and our shy kitty absolutely loved him. If you are looking for someone dependable who loves your pet he is the one!”
“Tara is the best! She gave detailed reports and handled every situation that arose. My cats were very safe and secure (and loved!) with her! It was a long term booking, and she handled every aspect of it perfectly.”
“Ashleigh is always so great to work with! She's timely with drop in's and makes sure to communicate if there's ever a change. She sends the cutest photos of my cat and writes detailed drop in-info. I also love that she stays a little longer during the drop in to show my cat some love and pet him extra long. I know he appreciates it!!!”
“As a first-time Rover user with a shy cat, I was nervous about having someone new check on my kitty periodically. We really lucked out with Rachel. Rachel was patient with my many questions and walked me through Rover’s process. My cat allowed Rachel to pet her and even ate her food when Rachel was around, which is huge! I will absolutely book Rachel again the next time our schedules align! I recommend Rachel whether you’re a seasoned Rover user or a novice. Rachel is someone who definitely knows what they are doing and seeks to make your pet as comfortable as possible in your absence.”
“Mina was caring and attentive to Otto, making us feel comfortable being away. She sent pictures of Otto from her visits. She did everything we requested to care for our cat and our house in our absence. I would feel completely comfortable hiring her again during our travel!”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to care of cats while their owners were away, making sure they were fed on schedule, had fresh water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention. I understand that every cat has a unique personality—some love to play and cuddle, while others prefer their own space—and I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their needs. As someone who truly loves animals, I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, companionship, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I’ll treat your cat with the same kindness and respect I’d give my own pets.
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
“Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!”
“Nicole took great care of my kitties while I was away out of the country. She was super responsive and consistent and I was comfortable that they were in good hands. She appreciated their individual personalities and sent great daily updates and pictures. I would not hesitate to ask Nicole to watch my animals or home next trip.”
“Riley was awesome! She came over a few days before to get the lay of the land and attempt to meet my cat (she hid and I still have no idea where she was hiding). Suzie did eventually warm up to Riley and even sat in the same room as her! I will be using Riley again!”
“Danielle did an amazing job watching Zara!! She took good care of her and sent me regular updates and pictures. I could tell Zara was happy and comfortable :-). This was my first time leaving her alone and I couldn't have made a better choice. I will definitely re-book with her again!”
About: Hi!! My name is Elisha. It is a pleasure to be a consideration to you. A little about me .. I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties for relatives, friends, you name it. Since I can remember. I treat them as I would real children and companions. If you are in need of an extra hand, to walk or to visit your pup/kitty, I am available. I know life can get busy with work, traveling, or even dates. That is why I am so compassionate towards fur babies and believe that for your comfort as an owner, Rover is a great investment. I try to keep costs low as I am new, so here is to new pup/kitty beginnings ! I work 3-5 hours in the Baltimore area, however I live up Harford county so I’m flexible with locations and times! I can do early mornings, late noons, whichever is preferred by you :) I have a friendly pittie who can keep your dog company on walks (if they fare well that way) I will give often updates, photos, any notes as needed. An additional service I like to do for clients is picking up waste in the back, as it tends to become tedious and maybe difficult for some people, I am all here for it ! Please request that when booking.
“Laura was great! She sent the cutest photos during every visit and actually spent time with our cats. She was attentive, punctual, and followed the plans. Great care- thank you Laura!”
About: I have had a cat since I was 3. I love cats of all kinds, wild, tame, loving, long or short hair, they're unique. I enjoy spending time with Cats, they are independent, and often come with a variety of attitudes but they are so much fun to be around.

“Watched my puppy on a very short notice. She sent pics and let me know how he was doing. House was clean. She and her husband were really nice. Will use again. Thanks again.”
“Olga took such great care of my baby Remy! He is a very active dog and she took him on several walks and showed him so much love. He was totally exhausted when he came home and even slept in the next day, which I love. She was flexible too, as pickup details shifted during his stay. I would highly recommend Olga to anyone!”

She agreed to do a meet and greet with Coco a day before, to make sure we were comfortable. This young lady was really professional, reassuring and accommodating. I would definitely recommend using her. Thank You Jasmine.”

“Love Rodney & Marissa, professional, provided clear instructions and they obviously love, love, love animals. My dog Bailey warmed up quickly and in every picture she was in full sprint, running leash free as she loves. She enjoyed the other dog’s company as well. Rodney & Marissa kept in communication with Bailey’s hovering Mom and Auntie. So happy and pleased with the service provided. 🥰🥰🥰”

“Kassie was absolutely wonderful! She accommodated us on super short notice after a last-minute cancellation and took amazing care of our pup who was in heat. She followed all recommendations & requests we left, and sent frequent updates and photos throughout our time away, which gave us total peace of mind. Her home is perfectly set up for pets, featuring plenty of toys, dishes, and a great fenced-in backyard for exercise. Thank you, Kassie, for making sure Shyloh was so well loved and cared for. We appreciate you so much! 🙏🏽”

“Emily was amazing! We did a meet and greet a few days before hand and then on the actual day, my dog remembered her and was so excited to be back. I was worried because he’s a bit of a Velcro dog but Emily said he slept behind her while she worked and spent some time outside with her dog as well playing. 10/10, I will book Emily and Patrick next time I need a sitter.”
