“Marylee (and her husband) were amazing!! I pick Rover people based on if I would want to stay with them lol!! At the meet and greet she was very thorough with her questions about the cat and dog and making sure all their needs were met. It felt like she has an understanding about the types of issues that could arise and how to deal with them. Very organized. Very attentive, warm loving people. I was sent updates and photos throughout my time away. Her yard is crazy big and beautiful and fenced in. My dog LOVED it! She was able to accommodate my daughter’s cat at the same time last minute. I felt so secure knowing they were being well taken care of while I was gone. Cat had her little cat tower and pictures of the cat by the glass door able to look outside and see everything. I am done searching for Rover people… will definitely use Marylee again. Excellent!!”
“Sophia was an amazing sitter for our dogs! This would be our first time having our dogs in boarding and Sophia was such a great choice, she updates consistently with pictures and responses quick and our dogs looked to be having such a great time! We will be using her again,such a great job !”
“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“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!!”
“Gail and Kris took excellent care of our little guy and sent lots of adorable photos and videos! We were very comfortable leaving him in their care and 100% will book again. Thank you!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Vanessa! Luna was so well cared for during her stay. I really appreciated the regular photo and video updates—they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When Luna wasn’t eating, she reached out right away to let me know and came up with a thoughtful solution that worked. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Luna’s well-being. She even told me Luna was one of the easiest dogs she’s watched, which was great to hear! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Karen was amazing with Jazzy! Our dog has significant separation anxiety, but Karen immediately understood her needs and knew exactly how to help her feel comfortable and secure. The farmland is a huge plus offering plenty of safe, private space for dogs to play and explore. Best of all, Karen and her family treated Jazzy like one of their own. We had complete peace of mind knowing our fur baby was so well cared for, and we're incredibly grateful to have found a sitter we trust. The ample pictures and videos were an added bonus! We'll definitely be back again and again!”
“Mindy was excellent. She sent lots of pics/videos. Dogs looked happy. Cute goodie back when I picked them up. Flexible with pickup/drop off times. Large fenced in yard the dogs thoroughly enjoyed. 10/10 and will be using her for the future!”
“Our fur-baby Charley looked like he enjoyed his stay with Terry and Shep. Because they provided daily updates, pictures, and videos we could see he was happy and content. I would highly recommend Terry and Shep to anyone looking for a pet sitter. They have a very nice house and yard so we felt very comfortable leaving Charley there. We can not thank them enough for taking such excellent care of Charley and reducing our anxiety due to leaving him with "strangers". We will definitely be reaching out to them again when we need a pet sitter.”
“I would not hesitate to recommend Yuhui to anyone. Chester had a wonderful time with her! She is super attentive and takes great care of my dog. This was my first time booking Yuhui, and we are already looking forward to having Chester stay with her again when we are out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Piero and his family did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. They were willing to accommodate my dogs’ feeding and potty habits, but I also trusted them to do what would work best and what fit with the household’s vibe while my dogs were their guests. Communication was great, and they sent photos and videos of the dogs’ stay. Would definitely use Piero for boarding or grooming again!”
“My dog, Beau’s, stay with Varsha was excellent. He really seemed to enjoy staying there and she was so attentive to his needs. I also appreciated her availability on short notice and flexibility with some last-minute changes. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter and feel comfortable asking her to sit Beau again.”
“Raghavi and her family were great. From the start, they made sure to get to know Archie and understand his needs, and Archie was very comfortable with the family as well as their dog, Simba. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care your pet like their own, I highly recommend Raghavi!”
“Gena did a wonderful job watching after Oatmeal! She provided amazing communication throughout the entire time, from our initial Meet and Greet to pick up. The daily updates and pictures Gena provided really put us at ease as this was the first time we boarded Oatmeal. We also really appreciated Gena requesting detailed care instructions. We would definitely recommend Gena for pet care!”

“Rene did an outstanding job taking care of my cat Max! She was always on time, fed him and gave him his medication, and lots of attention. Everything was neat and tidy when we returned as well. We will definitely be booking with Rene again in the future!”
“Dee Dee took excellent care of our 19-year-old cat while we were out of the country and kept me updated with photos. I will definitely reach out to her again when we go away!”
“Samantha was fantastic! We felt completely at ease going on a week long vacation while she cared for our cat Dolly at home. She sent continuous communication of visits and photos along with a detailed list of specific care items for Dolly. She is extremely friendly, personable, and professional. Dolly warmed right up to her immediately and we know exactly who we will be contacting for any future trips. We cannot recommend Samantha enough for her wonderful care and reassurance!”
About: Going away or need a daily walk for your pup? 🐾 With over 10 years of experience, I offer safe walks, comfy boarding, and a big fenced backyard for tail-wagging fun! I love caring for dogs of all ages—from bouncy puppies to sweet seniors and pups with special needs—treating each one like my own family. I have fostered multiple pets and helped out with rescue transports throughout the years. With a flexible schedule and a big love for animals, I’m here to make pet care easy and stress-free. From daily walks and drop-in visits to boarding and playtime, I’ll tailor my care to fit your pet’s routine—whether they’re a playful pup, a calm senior, or need a little extra TLC. Reliable, loving, and always available when you need me! I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of toys, a large deck for those nice days and evenings to hang out on and plenty of room inside. Crates are optional, depending on your and your pet preference. We have three dogs of our own and they can either play together or be kept separate.
About: With over seven years of professional experience in animal care, I’m dedicated to providing safe, compassionate, and dependable care for every cat I meet. My background includes working with cats in a professional care setting, assisting as a veterinary assistant in a veterinary hospital, earning my PetSmart Pet Care Certification, and providing trusted in-home cat sitting for families. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust while respecting their individual comfort level and routine. I’m experienced caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including administering medications, maintaining litter boxes, monitoring for signs of illness, and providing enrichment and companionship. Whether your cat needs drop-in visits, overnight care in your home, or simply a calm, caring presence while you’re away, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own.
“Gillian helped a lot checking in on our cats while we were away. We do recommend her as a visiting pet sitter, and will for sure consider her help again next time we’re off for vacation.”
“We’ve used Stephanie on a few occasions now to take care of our cat (both short and long trips). She has been an excellent cat sitter, sends great updates, cleans thoroughly and handles our finicky cat like a pro! We highly recommend her!”
“Gabriela has now cared for both our dog and cat and has done a great job! She is friendly and always super easy to work with. I would trust her with my babies any day!”
“Rosie took great care of our kitties while we were away for the holidays. She shared notes to keep us updated and to check-in with any questions or news. Her help was greatly appreciated!”
“Lisa did a great job helping us taking care of my cat Jasper the 2nd time. She was able to identify an ant problem we had and resolve it to her best ability. Very happy with the help she provided.”

About: Are you a dog parent who’s worried whether your sitter will treat your dog as family AND actually provide them with individual care and attention instead of just being one of MANY dogs staying within the home? I know this experience first hand as I also worry about my dog’s safety especially when a sitter’s home has several dogs, which pretty much mimics a boarding facility. This defeats the purpose to me of my dog staying in a home, so as a dog sitter myself, I aim to do just the opposite. _______________________________________ Hi! My name is Dianne, and I am a long-time foster dog mom and have a foster fail of my own. I have been fostering since 2017 and have successful adopted out 11 dogs through Fetch WI rescue and Lucky Dog Animal Rescue in DC. •• MY CARE APPROACH •• I aim to always provide high-quality and safe care by hosting AT MOST 2 dogs at a time (in addition to my resident dog, Kona). This is especially important to us as we know how crowded boarding facilities can be (AND sometimes sitters’ homes) and the stress this can cause on dogs. My goal is to be able to provide constant and undivided attention to your pup while in my home. I also require meet & greets before booking to ensure your dog is comfortable with mine. After booking, I still ensure that all dogs get properly introduced to each other (first outside on a leash, then through a gate barrier, and finally without barriers). As an experienced foster parent, safety will always be my top priority. You can expect to get an immediate update to how your pup is settling in after drop off and daily after that. You won’t have to wait around for updates. Leaving your baby is also stressful, and I hope to alleviate some of that stress with constant, reliable communication (I know I expect the same with my Kona 🙂) My husband, Jake, and I work from home and would love the opportunity to provide individualized care for your pup. ———— ———— ———— ———— —— Since I do not have a backyard, I provide several walks throughout the day for daycare and boarding dogs as well as providing dedicated play time either in the house or in an unfenced grassy area behind our house using long rope leads to allow the freedom for dogs to run around (if requested). I make sure to account for each dog’s needs whether they need a lot of activity and stimulation or if they would just prefer to hang around the house and nap. I hope I get to meet your pup! I currently work from home and have a ton of flexibility to step away from my computer as needed. My husband works a hybrid schedule and will be home some days. I have a mellow 5 year old resident dog who loves to play if your pup is interested. Otherwise she pretty much minds her own business. She is a St. Bernard and Blackmouth cur mix who is very gentle and has had a lot of exposure to dogs of varying temperaments through fostering. She can’t wait to meet you pup!
About: I had a Shih Tzu pup for 15 years. When I lost him 3 years ago I decided I wanted to fill my time caring for other pups from just a few months old to seniors. I am a hybrid employee so most days I would be home with pups and on my office days I’d be away during the workday. I live in a private entry apartment building so not just anyone can enter the building. There are potty stations on every corner of the street and an open yard in the back of the building that’s good for walking
“Yuhui took great care of Miso, played with her, and gave Miso a lot of attention. She gave us a detailed report on what Miso did during her time there and took her out on multiple walks. Miso enjoyed spending her time there.”
“Nithya was absolutely fantastic! We had a crazy day with moving, so our timeframe got a little messed up from the original plans. She was super accommodating and flexible with all the changes! She definitely went above and beyond and I truly appreciate her taking care of my sweet boy! We will definitely use Nithya again! :)”
“Stella is a highly anxious dog and we were very happy with the way Shruti and her family took care of Stella. They tried their very best to assure she was comfortable and even went outside of their own house rules to make her feel loved and safe. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a family environment and their dog is super friendly and happy!”
About: I Have Taken Care Of My Dog Blue And My Wife's Sisters Dog Phoenix I Walked Him Since He Was A Puppy And Blue Since He Was A Puppy I Just Lost My Job I Have A Lot Of Time On My Hands And Can Walk Any Dog And Work Any Days During The Week And Weekends I Keep Him Caged While Me And My Wife Worked All Time Never Left The Dog By Himself Always Kept Him Fed And Made Sure He Had Water
“Jemar was amazing with Levi! We needed an emergency sitter for our mini doodle and Jemar came to the rescue. He took her for walks, gave her lots of attention, and made sure she felt safe and happy the whole time. Highly recommend!”
“Juju received great care. She was happy when we picked her up. Cornell is quick to respond to any questions or to provide updates as requested. He gave great details and feedback on her visit when we picked her up.”
“I left my dog, Tori, for daycare, and she was cared for so well. She is usually very timid, but she seemed so relaxed. Thank you for keeping me updated with lots of photos and for the lovely treat gift you gave her. We truly appreciate your thoughtful care and will definitely be back!”
“Shadid is amazing! It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about leaving my puppy, Rudy, with someone else. From the moment we met Shadid, she was great with Rudy. I was concerned about Rudy getting anxious and being difficult to manage. I realized quickly that I had nothing to worry about with Shadid. Rudy was immediately comfortable with her. I don’t think he even noticed me leave because he was so excited to hang out with Shadid & Pebbles all day. Throughout the day, I received pictures of Rudy at the park and playing. It felt great knowing that Rudy was in good hands and having an amazing day. When I picked Rudy up, he was sad to leave! Rudy can be challenging and usually takes a while to warm up to people, so I was extremely impressed by Shadid’s ability to care for dogs. I would absolutely be comfortable leaving Rudy with Shadid again and am so grateful that I found her. If you love your dog and don’t know which sitter will be best, contact Shadid!! Your dog will have the best day and you’ll feel great knowing he/she is in good hands! From a professional standpoint, Shadid is excellent. I’m in medical school and was taking an exam during Rudy’s stay, so it was important to me that the sitter be professional. Shadid was perfect. She responds quickly and is completely reliable. I strongly recommend her!”

It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

About: I’ve cared for my own dog from puppyhood into her senior years, giving me experience with different stages of a dog’s life and their changing needs. I’m also the trusted dog sitter in my family and regularly care for my aunt’s dog when she needs help. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m reliable, patient, and will care for your dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am currently a college student at the University of Maryland and am home for break, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every dog in my care. I make sure they always have fresh water, regular bathroom breaks, plenty of exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. Since I have a dog of my own, I understand how important it is to follow each dog’s routine and treat them like family.
“Dee Dee is awesome! We can always count on her for weekly weekday walks. She always gives great updates and sends pictures during each visit. Happy we came across her profile on Rover!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer.

“Hired Brittany to walk/play with Mason during the workday (60 minutes). He had a blast and was relaxed and tired when he came back. Brittany was timely and efficient and sent pics/update when finished. Will be hiring Brittany again.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have mainly taken care of my neighbors' pets, my friends' pets and of course my own. I have pet-sitted for dogs of all sizes, cats and fish. At home I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, 3 ferrets, a crested gecko and a tree frog. I am reliable and punctual. I am caring and kind. I am also flexible and will follow any schedule or instructions. I am a college student at the University of Maryland and during the summer I do have class on Friday morning. Besides my class schedule I am very flexible. I will follow any instructions that you provide as they are unique to each pet. If taking care of a dog I will never take them out without a leash or fenced in yard. If taking care of a cat I will make sure to keep them inside at all times. If you need me to take care of a small animal I will always make sure they are in their enclosure before I leave. I am very paranoid and will always make sure your pets are safe.
“Lots of appreciation to Collin for accommodating a couple of last minute requests for longer walks!! He had patience with my dog who gets anxious meeting new people, and made sure to keep him safe from other triggers during the walks - thank you very much for that!! Exactly what I needed!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! We reached out last minute and she was extremely responsive, so understanding, kind and professional. We are so grateful to have found her! We would definitely recommend her to others and will definitely book with her again in the future! Stephanie, thanks so much for taking the best care of our fur baby!”
