“Cola was well taken care of for her overnight stay with Auana! I received photo updates and they treated her like one of their own! Even going the extra mile to brush her and send her back so happy :)”
“I am very glad my dog stayed with Felice and her family during this past week. Maple had a great time while I was away; more importantly, she was safe and well taken care. And, I received enough photos of Maple, so my heart was in peace during my vacation (first time my family was separated from our dog in while). I will use Felice and Ken's service again and recommend to others as well.”
“Theresa is exceptional! We were a bit nervous to leave our boy, Otto, for the first time. Daily check ins from Theresa put us at ease. It was clear from the pictures that he was as comfy and happy as can be in Theresa’s home. We will definitely be reaching out to Theresa next time we have to leave our boy in good hands.”
“They were very accomodating. Due to a flight delay on my end. They were willing to spend some extra hours with my dog until I could have someone pick them up. They also send pictures to show updates.”
“Lingli was so sweet and attentive the entire stay and was great about sending videos and pictures. My cat was taken care of so well and she's a really great communicator.”
“Steph did a great job with our elderly dog who needs extra care and patience. We definitely plan to use her services in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Jim and Mary were so wonderful with our dog! This was our first experience using Rover and we could not have found a more perfect fit for Zoey! They put our mind at ease all weekend with constant updates and pictures. They took care of Zoey as if she were their own and I feel so grateful to have found them for our family. I highly recommend Jim and Mary and look forward to using them for our next time away!”
“Karen was a delight from our first meet and greet throughout the process. We were completely confident in her ability to care for our large dog. She was attentive and thoughtful in asking questions regarding his care. We appreciated all the photos and communication while he was at her home. She gave him tons of attention from walks to belly rubs and snuggles. We would recommend her without reservation and look forward to booking with her again!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and it was great! Brittanie and Ryan were flexible and easy to communicate with, shared photos throughout our pet’s stay, and overall made it easy to be away without worrying about her. Would definitely return the next time we need pet care!”
“Jasmine was great. She sent us pictures each day and kept us a rest of how Charlie was doing. He looked happy and healthy. And we are really grateful for her care of Charlie while we were away. We would definitely use her again.”
“Samantha is truly a gem and cared for my dog like her own. She sent regular pics and videos. My dog felt at ease for 5 days with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her!!”
“Kimberly was absolutely wonderful! My dog, Cooper, has anxiety when it comes to being away from me, which can make leaving him difficult. Kimberly made the entire experience so much easier by sending photos of him relaxed and comfortable, along with thoughtful updates on his care. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We were so pleased with Kimberly that we’re already hoping she’ll be available again in July. Thank you for taking such great care of Cooper!”
“Lorna is an amazing dogsitter. My 4 month old puppy was genuinely happy in her home for the five days she stayed. She enjoyed making some doggy friends. We will definitely use her services in the future.”

“This is my third time booking with Bria. My dog absolutely loves her!! He tried to run back in her house when I came to pick him up 😩 lol. I was almost offended 😂, but to me, that’s a great sign and makes me feel comfortable and at ease to leave him while away for an extended period. Plus, he doesn’t have any playmates at home, so I know he truly enjoys play time with her dog. Will definitely continue to use her as his sitter as long as her schedule allows!”
“Moana had a great stay! She’s pretty shy and anxious so I appreciated the patience they had with her while she got more comfortable. She looked calm and happy as can be in all the photo and video updates. Would definitely book again!”
“Our Nella stayed at Julijai for 6 days. I was sent pictures daily, and received a quick response via message. You can tell that Julijai and her family love dogs, make them feel welcome, and provide fantastic care. Thank you for helping me with our last-minute request.”

“Paula was reliable, communicative, and willing to take on administering oral medication for both of my cats, which I really appreciated since that can be hard to find. There was a bit of a learning curve at the start with the medication process, but she adapted quickly and was receptive to guidance. I would book Paula again for future visits. She did a great job and I’m grateful for her services.”
“Xin is beyond amazing. She cared for my 2 kittens as if they were her own. She’s wonderful with them, shared lots of pics and updates and they loved her. It was clear they were in good hands and I had nothing to worry about. Highly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“Sara took great care of my cat while I was away for my wedding and my cat loved her. She was responsive and reliable and I came home to a clean bowl and litter box.”
“Our favorite sitter forever! Alyssa handles everything like a pro - from giving our rabbit eye drops, to chasing our cat when he decides to run out into the hallway, and much more! We’re forever thankful we have Alyssa to look after our loved ones. She treats them as if they are her own! 😻”
“I can't say enough about Pam. She's wonderful with our girls and I know they adore her. She earns a 100% for communication, responsibility, and for loving our girls. On our last trip, our flight got cancelled and she stepped right up by continuing to care for our girls and communicating with us each step of the way. She helped us out so much. We are truly thankful for her!”
“Julia was great - she is very responsive and detail-orientated. The cats knocked over a photo frame during our trip and she cleaned up the glass for us because she knew it would be a hazard for their little paws. Great cat sitter, definitely plan to hire Julia again!”
“I’m not even sure where to start, Erin was AMAZING! We had an issue with the door handle that she took care of, the dogs had a rough day and she handled it, she got my mail, and even cleaned up some dog hair! One of our pups decided to go on a hunger strike and she got him eating again by hand feeding him! I would not hesitate for a second to have her back! She was the best and I highly recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs, and had to take care of them, all my life. I have crate trained, command trained, and potty trained dogs. I have had experience looking after and dog walking friends dogs and have never had any issues. I am reliable and comfortable with all aspects of dog care, such as giving medication, play time, light training, and of course cleaning up messes.
“Ashley did a great job watching my cats while I was away. She followed the directions closely and took extra time to play with them before leaving. She was a very attentive pet sitter.”
“Lingli did an amazing job. She provided pictures every day and I could tell my cat really got comfortable with her by the end of the stay. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Rowyn was absolutely amazing!! I cannot say enough great things about her and her compassion, professionalism and how fantastic she was with my two almost 17 year old kitties! They require oral medication every day, which can be challenging, and on the first day, one was being difficult and refusing the medication, I had told her she could leave since she had already been there longer than the standard allotted drop-in visit time, but she was determined to make sure they both had their medication and was patient and stayed until they both finally took the medication. She absolutely went above and beyond, and was so attentive, so communicative and sent so many pictures! She always arrived on time, despite my saying the timing was flexible! She is someone we completely trusted with the care of our cats and also felt 100% comfortable coming and going from our house. She also went above and beyond and even did some cleaning so when we got home from vacation, we had nothing to worry about!! I cannot recommend Rowyn more highly! Thank you Rowyn for giving us so much peace of mind while away!! Will absolutely book with Rowyn again in the future!”
About: I have experience with dropping in for a family that has a cat, he was very cuddly so I would sit with him on the couch and pet him for a while every time I was there. I would also feed it at scheduled times and change the litter box when they asked. I love cats and I have one of my own! Having my own cat is also very helpful because I am used to having a furry friend in my home, so it wont be uncomfortable for me watching your cats.
“Ana is easily the best cat sitter I've ever hired (and I say that, never having had a bad experience with a pet sitter). She watched our 2 nervous cats and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. She even did an extra check-in when one of our cats wasn't eating and cleaned up their vomit. Thank you very much, Ana, and we will definitely hire you again.”

“I can’t say enough good things about the care my Duchess received from Lingli!! From the moment we arrived, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind and welcoming, and I truly appreciated the daily photo updates—it made being away from Duchess so much easier. Lingli's patience and flexibility, especially with my changing schedule due to meetings, meant the world to me. It’s rare to find someone who is both professional and genuinely loving toward pets, but she’s exactly that. Highly recommend!”

Her resident dog, Willow, also made Brandi feel right at home. Brenda takes wonderful care of our dog and we will definitely request her services for future doggy day care or overnight stays.”
“Danielle was so kind to accommodate us last minute for daycare. She asked plenty of questions to get familiar with my dog’s needs and was even willing to give him water from a plastic cup due to his pickiness. Looking forward to hopefully working with her again!”
“Brittanie and Ryan are amazing and caring couple. They have a lovely family and 2 beautiful dogs.

I love sending frequent updates and pictures so you can still be in touch with your dog! When with your pets, they will have my undivided attention and care!
About: I used to work for a family that had a young high energy golden retriever and it was the best! I was able to provide the needs the family asked me for which included walking him, feeding him, giving him attention, and putting him in the kennel for bed. They also had a cat and I was able to care for her too, so I have experience with working with 2 animals at once. On top of that, I also have a cat and a dog of my own so I am very used to being with animals in the home and providing proper care for them. I am a college student who is home for the summer, and I am currently unemployed so I am extremely flexible! I would like to prioritize being a caregiver for pets before I go back to school to save some money for college. I am able to offer whatever care is needed for your animals. I am extremely flexible when it comes to pet owners expectations and needs, so that everyone is satisfied and happy!
“I highly recommend Vanessa. We had an emergency situation and Vanessa immediately responded to our request for a dog walker and was to our house within 30 minutes. She kindly sent us the most adorable pictures of her with our dog. He clearly enjoyed his time with her. She was a lifesaver and so kind to our dog!!”
“Jaeda arrived on time for both the meet and greet and dog walk. She’s personable and took the time to get to know my pup a little better. She asked good questions about her habits and temperament. She was respectful of my home and pup!”
About: I’ve had experience with all different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am comfortable walking dogs, feeding, and giving medication if needed. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and feel that it is important to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. I work part time at home through out the week with a flexible schedule, so I will be available when needed. During the summer I am available any day of the week. I am willing to take on last minute pet sitting jobs, but I would prefer to know ahead of time! Pets need safe and comfortable environments. Whether out on a walk or at home, I will make sure your dog is supervised and treated with patience and kindness.
About: I have had one cat and many dogs in my lifetime. I believe that dogs truly are mans best friend. My aunt is also an avid dog lover which is where I learned how much I enjoy caring for dogs. She has five dogs that are all varying in needs. Some need medicine every day, some can never be left alone, and some need a certain prepared type of food. I am comfortable with and have experience taking care of dogs with special needs, disorders, and disabilities. I also currently have two dogs of my own that are very different, one is an energetic 2-year-old who loves to play and be outside and the other is a very laid back 8 year old who prefers to sit inside and sleep. I love all animals alike and would be so happy to meet some new furry friends. I'm currently working part-time for the summer so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I'm available for walks, daycare, and overnight stays! I have experience with animals of all different energy levels and needs. I am vigilant and communicative with owners about their pets and will always keep you updated!

About: Hi! I’m Stan — a lifelong dog and cat owner turned pet sitter based in Ellicott City, Maryland. I’ve spent my whole life around animals and caring for them has always come naturally. Whether it's a long walk with a pup or some quality playtime with a curious cat, I truly enjoy every moment spent with our furry companions. Although I’m new to Rover, my years of hands-on experience speak for themselves. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give your pet the same level of care and attention they get at home. I can provide pet sitting reviews from pet owners that I have provided services too outside of the Rover Platform. Working from home so I can visit your home during the day or care for your pet at my home. If you need a place to take your pet I have plenty of room at my single family home. Looking for pet sitting and house sitting in the Ellicott City and Columbia Maryland area. As a pet sitter, I make it my priority to ensure every dog and cat in my care feels safe, loved, and at home. I’m home most days, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay. I have a cozy house with space to play and comfy couches for cuddles—furniture is never off-limits here! I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, as well as all kinds of cats, including hairless breeds like the Sphynx. Whether your pet is energetic or laid-back, I adjust to their personality and needs. Long walks are no problem for pups who need more exercise, and I’m happy to visit the dog park if they’re friendly with other dogs. A stroll through the local park is also on the menu. My goal is to keep every pet in my care active, happy, and stress-free while you're away
“We can't say enough good things about Christina. We were looking for a dog sitter who was not only reliable but would also give our pup plenty of love and attention. Christina exceeded our expectations.”
“Sophia was fantastic! She has a soothing and calm presence that put both Nuka and I at ease. Care instructions were followed faithfully and I can tell my doggo had a great time. I highly recommend Sophia and hope to book Nuka with her again next time we travel.”
“Natasha is very reliable and dependable! She showed up despite other things going on because she is committed to your fur babies! She sticks to her word and is very punctual. She communicates quickly and will meet the needs of your pups. She is very friendly and managed walking my two labs who are full of energy and quite strong! I will be booking with her again in the future. Thank you”
About: I am reliable and trustworthy! I have worked closely with families for 5 + years, walking their dogs daily and house sitting and caring for their beloved pets while the owners traveled. I am available daily, mornings, afternoons and evenings, I just ask for 24-hr notice so I can plan accordingly! I am happy to walk them for atleast 15-20 minutes so they can stretch their legs and get out some energy! I also am happy to feed them for their routine meals if you are unable to do so. I am comfortable walking your dog if there is a safe space to do so, or playing with them in your fenced in yard, it is what you are comfortable with.
About: I have experience training dogs of all sizes and ages. My family had dogs throughout the entirety of my childhood, giving me a deep appreciation for pets of all kinds growing up. I gained further training and experience through my employment at Petco as an operations specialist. Pet care has been a part of my daily routine for the entirety of my life. Whether it was making a special dinner for a picky-eater dog that needed medication, taking a rambunctious puppy out into the yard to relieve their energy, or taking multiple dogs out for a walk to make sure they get their exercise, pet care isn't just an addition to my routine, it is an integral structure to it. I have experience taking pets outside both in a yard and out on a leash for a walk. I have experience giving medication to animals of all kinds, as well as transferring animals into and out of crates/carriers.

“Lydia was fantastic! She welcomed her home to us with her lovely family including her chickens during our meet and greet. We proceeded to boarding 2 nights with her. Her home provided a warm, cozy and energetic vibe for our Poodle who is out going and craves human interaction. Lydia was not familiar with poodle grooming initially but after a quick demonstration and positive feedback she mastered it in no time. I appreciated her attention to detail, ability to communicate throughout the day and her willingness to learn how to care for specific dog breeds. It was a mutual rewarding experience and she even supervised her children doing obedience training with our pup.”
“Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.”
“Our dog Mayla stayed with Lakesha and Marshal and their kids over the holidays. We could not have asked for a better place for our pup. They took great care of Mayla, spoiled her and even trained her when she misbehaved in the beginning. A super nice experience and we will for sure be back! Thank you Lakesha and Marshall and a Happy New Year.”
“Esther and Yi did a fantastic job of boarding Leo for me while I was out of country. I could tell from the photos and videos they shared that he was having a blast. I highly recommend them if you need someone to care for your dog while you are away.”
