“Ruth and her family welcomed my dog into their home and instantly treated him like family. The communication and photos were beyond expectations and reassured that my dog was well cared for and loved. I am so appreciative for the care my dog received and will definitely be using Ruth again in the future.”
“Virginia and her family are lovely. She took such great care of my Macks. It feels so good to get away and know that my girl is also getting a vacation. She had so much fun with Virginia's dogs and her family. I will be excited to book my next trip knowing I can leave my girl in such good hands.”
“Rodney was very communicative throughout the entire process from the meet and greet and throughout the entire stay. Oaklee was very well taken care of and we couldn’t be more happy with them. We will 100% bring Oaklee back!”
“From the pictures Shannon sent during my dog’s week of boarding she had great fun. Friends to play with and much affection! Wonderful time and care. Highly recommend 🤗”
“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.”
“Virginia and Steven were very sweet and hospitable to our baby. She was well looked after and we were very reassured she was getting the love and attention we give her! Highly recommend and will be using again!”
“Ms Olga was so nice. She sent videos/pics often. Bruno had a good time she even let him stay an extra day when my travel plans got disrupted. Can’t wait to have Bruno there again.”
“Ariel was everything we were looking for in a dog sitter! She cared for our sweet Cookie and sent pictures. She made all my worries out the door when she reassured us that Cookie was fine! We have found our dog sitter and I couldn’t be more grateful for Ariel 🌸”
“Leah and Shawn were fantastic sitters for my Pitsky, Finnegan! I was traveling from out of state (looking to move to Baltimore) and felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care. They are both very laid-back, knowledgeable people who clearly understand dogs and dog behavior. Finnegan is a higher energy dog, and they were more than capable of handling the things that come along with that. I appreciated receiving updates and a few photos while I was away, which gave me peace of mind he was doing well. When I picked Finnegan up, he seemed very happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I can tell Leah and Shawn have a love for dogs that extends beyond their two very sweet resident pups, Olive and Zoe, who were such gracious hosts to have my little monster as a guest for an extended weekend stay. I would absolutely book with Leah and Shawn again and we fully intend to use them for future stays. Highly recommend!”
“We just finished our first Rover experience with Jill -- we were thrilled with her and with the process, which Rover makes easy. Jill and her fiance were wonderful with my nervous nilly Shi-Tzu Gigi, and Gigi seemed really happy to be there after taking a day or two to acclimate. I am about to make my second reservation for Jill -- I couldn't have asked for a better experience.”
“Great service, as usual. We have used Diana on many occasions for short and long term (three weeks plus) stays and feel very comfortable leaving our four legged family member in her hands. When we drop the dog off he is so excited, it's his second home. She is always our number 1 goto for ROVER needs. Highly recommend. Garnett, Jackie & Andy”
“Another sucess.... this was Kobe's first overnight. He settled in nicely. There were no issues. I was so relieved! I'm now more at ease for when we go on vacation. Thanks again!”
“Nikki seemed very knowledgeable sweetheart how to take care of our dog's anxiousness and energy from the get go. It helped a lot that she had a fully fenced yard and no pets of her own when we booked her. From meet and greet to pick up, she made it easy for everyone. We specially appreciated her updates and our dog truly enjoyed staying at her place. We also appreciated the tips and other feedback she gave us, as we are first time pet owners and our dog has some unique needs. Definitely will use her services again.”
“Marwa and Casey are amazing! Marwa is detail oriented and ensured Beanie felt at home as much as possible. They supplied us with updates throughout the day and were very responsive all times of the day. They took care of Beanie very well, 1000% will be booking again!”
“My experience with Fallon was amazing! For my first time booking with her, she made sure to ask all the important questions about my dog Bodhi so that she knew exactly how to care for him. Her knowledge on dog behavior and handling made me confident that she could deal with any problems that might arise (but thankfully there were none)! I also loved the daily updates and photos of Bodhi while I was away. I'll definitely be booking with Fallon again in the future!”
“LC had a WONDERFUL time with Erin & her pup!!! We will definitely be hitting Erin up again when we need a dogsitter. She is the nicest person EVER! She is just WONDERFUL!”
“Brittanie and Ryan ensured that both Bodhi and I felt comfortable with boarding him at their home when I dropped him off. They were attentive to him and sent me pictures and communication throughout the stay, which helped put me at ease. They even contacted me before I dropped him off so I would pack extra food in case of a potential snow storm. I’m thrilled that they were our first experience using Rover, and I will recommend them to any friends needing dog care in the future.”
“James and Mary were wonderful as always! They are the perfect stay-at-home couple who care deeply for their clients and treat their guests as their own pets. They were also incredibly understanding and flexible when my return travels got disrupted by weather. I look forward to my dog's next stay with them!”
“Hugo loved his stay with Melissa and her pups! I could tell because he didn’t want to go home. Melissa is definitely a dog person as Hugo adapted to her immediately, this was his first stay. Will definitely rebook with Melissa!”

“Casie has been a perfect cat sitter for us from start to finish. I was impressed with her fast response time and her experience with cats. Our cat, who doesn’t warm up to others easily, immediately warmed up to Casie the moment they met. Because of Casie, our cat thrived when we were away. Casie went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met properly, and that we can enjoy our trip with little worries. Her updates were detailed and reassuring. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat who had clearly been well cared for. Our cat would highly recommend her if she could, and so do we!”
“Erika was wonderful with our nervous, newly adopted cat. Our girl immediately took to Erika. Erika took care of the basics, such as scooping, checking the automatic feeder, and topping up the water. Erika, also, played extensively with our girl to help keep her stimulated in our absence. Erika kept us in the loop and sent us some great photos and videos. We highly recommend Erika and look forward to her watching our girl, again! ❤️”
“Bronte is simply the best! She’s super qualified, super responsible, and super kind! We were able to relax and enjoy our time away even more thanks to her prompt reports and adorable photos of our furry family members. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“10/10 absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Came home to the happiest, calmest kitty that has ever been thanks to B. Normally when we come home Carson is very unhappy with us but this time he was calm and unbothered. Every day, twice a day, I received great, detailed updates with pictures of Carson playing and being the most enriched and spoiled baby there ever has been. Moving forward I won’t ask anyone else to care for my three animals besides Bito. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more caring person to care for my furry orange child. Even my plants got watered :’). Thank you SO much!”
“Claire was so great with my cat, Joseph. She responded on short notice and sent updates while she was caring for my pet. Would recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter.”
“I appreciated Keira's cheery disposition and professionalism. She was quite knowledgeable about animals in general because of her regular profession and that helped put me at ease. I would book with her again.”
“Anna was amazing! They took great care of my boys who both have their own medical needs. Anna was super accommodating to everything we asked of them and sent us phenomenal pictures of our cats while we were away! 10 out of 10, would book with them again! <3”
“Emily was wonderful to work with. She came and met our pups to make sure it would be a good fit for her, as well as for us and our two pups. This was my first time using Rover and the process was easy, and Emily was great! We will definitely use her again!”
“Ryan is such a great person. He was on time in all of his visits. He followed all instructions as I provided. I could not be happier with his service. Highly recommend”
“Kaitlin dropped in on our cat daily while we were away. She communicated frequently to let us know when she would be coming and sent photos. She even went back to see our cat a second time on the first day because she didn’t realize there was a check in feature. We will definitely be using Kaitlin next time!”
“This was my first time leaving my cat with a sitter, I was super anxious about it and Chelsea made me feel so reassured. She was super responsive, sent me lots of pics and overall took amazing care of my cat. Would definitely recommend her to someone looking for a pet sitter! :)”
“Ana was wonderful checking in on our two cats while we were out of town! Even our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly, which says a lot. She was extremely communicative, professional, and went above and beyond when an unexpected situation came up during one of her visits. Our cats clearly loved her, and we felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be working with Ana again!”
“Emily was very reliable and responsive, and great with my cats. She went out of her way to spend time getting to know them and making sure they were happy. I really enjoyed the updates and photos every day.”
“Sophie was patient, understanding, and careful with my timid cat who needed medication. She communicated well and I appreciate the level of care she took with my kitties.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Williamsburg
“Kelly took amazing care of our puppy Murphy!! She sent me many photos and videos throughout the day, she took the dogs on long walks and gave them lots of playtime, she made sure my puppy had time to take a nap, and she was very responsive. Kelly and her dog Callie are incredibly sweet and I give them my highest recommendation!! We hope that Murphy will return to play soon!”
“Shannon was fantastic and Besa had a blast playing with the other dogs she cares for in her home. She’s a great communicator, welcoming, and flexible. Will definitely send Besa to hang with her and her pups again soon.”
“This was the first time my senior Cavalier was taken to “doggy daycare.” Susan was so wonderful with him and sent pictures mid-day to reassure me. She was very conscientious to understand any of his special needs as a senior dog. He is already scheduled to go back next week.”
“Poppy gets excited to get to Crissy's house and enjoys her time with Dublin. Crissy is flexible on timing when I've bumped into conflicts, and adjusting recurring days.”
“Robin made it really easy to drop my dog off and pick him up. He had a great playdate while we were going out for lunch. Robin sent lots of cute pictures and videos.”
“We booked day care with Francine super last minute and she accepted a same day request (on Christmas Eve!!) Our dog had a great time with their 2 dogs, running around in their fenced in back yard and chilling in the house. We would strongly recommend booking with Francine!”
“Brittanie and Ryan were super welcoming and their house is set up amazingly well for dogs. I love how they made sure my dog was a good fit for their family so that everyone is happy!”
“Sausage had another wonderful time with Veronica, Caleb and their fur family. I recently found out that Harper, the matriarch of Veronica’s pick of Westies, has taken a special interest in Sausage and is very protective of him. Makes me feel so reassured to know that I’m addition to Veronica and Caleb’s watchful eyes, Sausage has Harper looking after him too. 4 paws way up!!!”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs for years. I rescued one cat to later find out she had seizures. She got proper treatment, love and attention, and lived to be fifteen. I am retired and available days, evenings, weekends, and most holidays to meet your pets needs and your schedule to keep on your pets routine. I have a medium size backyard with shade trees and room to play. During bad weather I use the basement for play time and activities.
“Rodney and Marissa are wonderful! They took such good care of my Benji. Benji is rather shy and does not have many opportunities to socialize with other animals. When I told Rodney about this he assured me that they would help Benji to be comfortable around their pets, and they did just that. They sent photos of Benji running in the yard with his new furry friend. They also made sure that Benji stayed on his eating and napping schedule. Benji will definitely be visiting Rodney and Marissa again.”
“Brianna was a joy to work with. We dropped our pup off in the morning and we were sent photos and updates which was wonderful. I strongly recommend Brianna if you’re looking for an engaged and thoughtful dog sitter. 10/10!”
“Our boy was so happy to see Anna and Christian! He yelped his yelp reserved for family members. We always feel fine leaving him there. Lots of pictures and updates, too.”
“Jeremy was great! We had to make changes to the reservation, and he was very responsive and made changes quickly. He also did a fantastic job watching Indi, and he provided a lot of picture updates. Thanks for doing such a great job with our dog!”
“Milo was nervous when I dropped him off but he quickly adjusted. Thank you Phyo for caring for him and taking him for walks. I would definitely recommend as I see you have a gentle way with pets.”
“Completely trustworthy with our fur babies! Can't say enough about Felice and Ken. They truly cater to the dogs and our pups can't wait to return each week. A plus for both daycare and boarding.”
“We had such a great experience with this daycare! They were absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and clearly loves what they do. Saint had the best time and really bonded with their dog, Kai. They went on walks, played together, and even had time to rest and nap, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in such good hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: This young adult is filled with energy, patience and love! I have owned a dog since I was a child and tried to open a mini petting rescue zoo in my moms barn . It worked until I had to actually adult and pay my own bills . I love giving one in one attention and healthy treats . My availability is flexible due to working around my human patients . I value bedside mannerisms and do believe they don’t just apply to two legged friends. I have been known for my cautious and preventative decision making skills ! My temperament is easy going but firm because if not, all paws will break loose! Seriously , I would have 100 dogs at home if possible. I am currently working part time and from home . I have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and love deserving ! I have a mini fenced in area in my back yard that my own pup adores. It is just enough space to get the job done and provide leg room. I live in walking distance to three huge parks, and on leash we will have a wonderful time.
“Liz was such a great babysitter for my pup! She sent lots of pics and a video of her and her pup playing and having the best time. I’ll definitely be using her again!”

About: Throughout my life, I have cared for goats, cats (old and young), dogs (big and small), chickens, rabbits, and different kinds of rodents. I love all animals and treat other people's pets as if they were my own. I am experienced in administering oral medications, working with difficult walkers, and caring for anxious animals. I have one cat and one dog right now! I currently work remotely, so I am able to design my schedule around your pets' needs. I believe that pets thrive with a consistent schedule and will do my best to stick to your pets' schedule. All pets have social needs and activity needs. As a dog sitter, I will not just take your dog out for potty walks, but we will also go for sniff adventures, play fetch, and more. As a cat sitter, I provide as much attention as your cat is interested in. We can sit on the couch and cuddle or admire each other from a distance.
“A big thanks to Tabitha for coming out last min. Coda is super friendly and loves everyone. The walk was not far in distance especially for being an hour but I know he appreciated being out for a while. Thanks again for helping out and thanks for pictures!”
“Brent is always fantastic with Scout. If you are looking for a house sitter or just a dog walker, you get soo much more with Brent. He truly cares about his clients pets as if they were his own. I have used Brent multiple times and will continue to do so.”
About: I have been walking dogs for my neighbors since high school. I have one family that has continued to use me to house sit as well as dog sit for them. I am a recent college graduate from Towson University. I have been working with animals for about 13 years. I have experience with horses, dogs and cats as well. I love all the animals I look after. I bring them in as if they are my own. I make sure to follow the paper/schedule provided to me that way the dog keeps the routine that they are used to. My dog, lets me know what his schedule is and I listen to him every time.
“Jason listens carefully to what I like when it comes to training, as Roarke is in training to be a service dog. He also won Roarke’s affection right away. I would recommend him to anyone.”

“My girl Rosy is a special needs dog. She's afraid of everything. The 1st time she met Julian she licked him. He's sweet and kind and very patient with her. I highly recommend him.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and starting at 11 I began dog and cat sitting. I've cared for pets with all sorts of needs and temperaments, and individual accomadation and flexibility are very important to me. I love animals, and taking care of animals, and I can't wait to meet your babies and give them the high quality care they deserve! I'm currently in business school part time after getting my bachelors degree, so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to accomodate most requests - your pets comfort and safety are my top priorities! I do not offer services in my home, as my cat is not very friendly with other animals, but in my own home I have fully enclosed outdoor spaces for my cat, multiple litter boxes, high quality food, and endless toys and cat trees. My cat's health and wellbeing are the utmost importance to me, and I will bring that same level of care and attention to your pets, however their routines and environments differ from our own!
“Destiny was great with Belle. She came to pick her up on time, communicated with me in details about her walk with Belle and Belle seems very pleased with her. Will definitely recommend.”

About: My name is Bob, and I have been a dog owner for over 8 years, currently owning two energetic pups, Ellie and Watson! My wife works from home, so someone is almost always home, unless we all go ot in the evening! Our kids are 12 and over, and we all love spending time not only with our dogs(and cats!), but meeting new ones as well. Our rescue dogs, Ellie(18 month old female Australian Shepherd/Catahoula) and Watson(1 year old male Schnauzer/Terrier) enjoy spending time playing in the yard together when weather is nice, or horsing around together inside. They love socializing and playing at the dog park too, so having a 'play date' would be good fun for them! We have free access to water at all times, toys to play with, and healthy treats, if allowed by visiting pets' owners. Feedings for our dogs happen twice a day at 8 am and 5 pm; arrangements could be made regarding your pet's feeding needs, depending on time of day, and length of stay. Walks, playing, and lots of attention guaranteed! We can be flexible to meet your needs; please ask.
“Junie comes back happy and healthy! We received lots of great pictures of her walks and hangout time with dog friends. Julia is quick to respond to messages and knows a lot about dog behavior.”
