Highly-rated overnight sitters - Windsor Mill
“Foxy had a great stay and I am so grateful for the care he received during this longer stay. Ken, Tyler, and family gave him needed boundaries and socialization--I hope he can stay with them again to keep growing into the less anxious soul he can be :). I looked forward to receiving photos every day and knew Foxy was in excellent hands. THANK YOU!”
“I have left Yoda with Lingli on multiple occasions when I'm out of town. My experience with her has always been great! She takes very good care of him and he is always happy to see her :) She is also very diligent at keeping me updated with photos which I greatly appreciate! I highly recommend her :)”
“As always, Kelly and her family were amazing. They took care of our Leo as their own and updated us several times a day with photos and notes. We were so thankful that Leo was in good hands during our out of country trip.”
“They were very accommodating to a last minute request! The communication was fantastic and thorough. We got a lot of great pics. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely use them again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“I like the fact that Princess felt right at home with Cheryl and her family... I will be using Cheryl for my upcoming trips!!!! Hopefully she will not be booked lol!!!!”
“Brittanie and Ryan were wonderful sitters for our dog this weekend! She seemed to have gotten very comfortable in their home pretty quickly and had no issue coexisting with their dogs at all. They sent frequent update pictures and really went above and beyond bringing our dog to our wedding so she could be included in our pictures. Overall great first Rover experience and would happily use them again!”
“Nautica was an excellent host for my busy little boy. She kept them an extra day because we've been having brownouts in my neighborhood. She even dropped him off and picked him up. I knew he was going to be spoiled rotten after enjoying a long weekend with the backyard. I will be using her again”
“I felt comfortable leaving my pup with Nicolas. His home a was clean and spacious, and his neighborhood was suitable for dog walking. Would definitely recommend and request to board with him again.”
“Ms Kimberly was great. I get pictures on a daily basis. My baby for sure had fun! I highly recommend! Thank you very much again to Ms Kim for caring for my baby.”
“Alex was very responsive and the dogs seemed to love staying at his house, running in the yard, and playing with Alex's dog Reese. He also sent a lot of pics which was really appreciated! Alex--thanks again for taking care of the twins!”
“Nikki was great! She was flexible and seemed to understand what our reserved, sometimes anxious girl needed to feel comfortable. We appreciated knowing she was in good hands.”
“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.”
“We love sending out dogs to Virginia and Steve. They love on them so much! We use them to watch our dogs every time we are out of time. They truly treat our dogs like their own”
“Mann came back home nice and relaxed he didn’t even want to go for a walk which is not normal for him. He must have had plenty of exercise. I received pictures and updates everyday. I will definitely rebook again.”
“Chris was absolutely great to our puppy! It was his first time away from us and he was happy and received lots of attention and love. He went on lots of walks and made new friends!!! I would highly recommend her to care for your fur baby.”
“Alonni is amazing and took wonderful care of our pups. She sent tons of pictures and gave us updates while we were away. She genuinely cares about each and every dog and we can’t thank her enough.”
“Odessa was great! This was my very first time using Rover and the first time ever going on a week-long vacation and leaving my dog with someone, so I was super nervous. Odessa was very reassuring. She sent updates and photos of Rozay, which eased my mind and made me feel so much better as the days went by. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her on my next trip.”
“This is our first time with Rover and we could not have found a better person/family for our beloved recent rescue to stay with for a few days. We know our rescue needs lots of love and patience and we are so grateful that Theresa understands that and in addition only takes one client at a time. This was perfect as we saw how much of a difference it makes for our dog vs being at a doggie daycare center. She provides updates and pictures to ease our minds and always on top of communication. We are so grateful! And will be repeat customers.”

“My husband and I took a long trip out of the country and Leah was a lifesaver caring for our cats while we were gone. The daily updates and photos were fantastic, and helped us miss our kitties a little less while half a world away! Thank you, Leah!”
“Casie is the best. She is so reliable. She leaves detailed notes and cute photos that put me at ease while away from my fur babies. I know my cats are in excellent hands with her.”
“Keira did a fantastic job with our shy cats. I felt confident that they were looked after and taken care of Keira will be the first one I call for out of town trips in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for cats belonging to friends, family members, and clients throughout my life, and I’ve always enjoyed spending time with felines. While I haven’t personally owned a cat, I’ve gained experience interacting with cats of different ages, personalities, and comfort levels. I understand that every cat is unique—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, respectful approach. My goal is to make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
“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!”
“Lorraine took excellent care of our four cats while we were away for a week. Communication was prompt and reliable, and all instructions were followed with great care. Lorraine went above and beyond by spending extra time cleaning and giving our fur babies additional attention. We are extremely pleased with the service and will absolutely book again.”
“what a great sitter! qwerty is a shy cat, but lingli was able to coax her out of her hiding spots and take great care of her while i was away 10/10 recommend”
“My cats have loved having Madison as their sitter for two years. I always come home and they are so happy and ready to play, after she’s played with them everyday.”
“Here’s another option with a slightly different tone: Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. Communication was quick and consistent, and she was always very responsive whenever I had a question or update. I felt confident leaving my pet in her care and appreciated the updates while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to others!!!”
“Sophie did an amazing job checking on our cats, Dutchess and Wiley. We will definitely be rebooking her soon. She had great communication and took amazing pictures of her whole process.”
“This was our first time using Rover for our cat Walt. He is slow to warm up to people but Tabitha was great at the meet and greet just going at his pace and not forcing anything. She stopped by for 2 visits and by the second one he was less shy and approached her more easily. I would definitely recommend Tabitha as she was available on short notice and reliable.”
“Sean was everything you could hope for when traveling without your pet. He was very communicative, prompt and professional and left us feeling that Ellie was in great hands.”
“Samantha was a great repeat walker for us! AlaHs responsive, and she followed my pedantic neighborhood dog rules to a T (again lol I'm so sorry but great work), avoiding the houses she had to avoid, etc. I would trust her again!”
“I don't know what I will do if Fallon is ever unavailable when I go away because she is the just the best!! Reliable, thoughtful, and a great communicator. Thanks for always taking such good care of my cat.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Windsor Mill
“Ken & Felice were absolutely a breath of fresh air. They clearly love dogs and are excellent hosts. I could tell from their photos, and Charlie’s demeanor at pick up time that he was well cared for and in loving, capable hands. Looking forward to his return and many new furry friendships!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Rodney was great! He listened to my concerns and additional info I provided on my furbaby and put me at ease. My furbaby came home that evening and was tired from all the fun she had. Would definitely recommend.”
“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! 🙏🏽”
“Robyn was great! She was dependable, reliable, and easy to work with. We did have a slight scheduling conflict on one occasion, but sometimes life can get in the way and that is understandable. Best wishes and many successes to you, Robyn!”
“Cashadena loves Victoria and is always eager to see her! Great yard space for the pups and very helpful, non judgmental support during a really difficult time for us.”
“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.”
“Carolina was amazing with our 12 week old puppy AND communicating with us. Lots of updates and pics and our pup came back very happy. Also very flexible with our schedule which was awesome. Will definitely be asking her to watch our pup again!”
“Esther and Yi took great care of Eevee. Eevee was a picky and slow eater but Esther ans Yi was very patient and accompanied her to finish her food. Eevee had a great time with their puppies Milk and Peanut! She can’t wait to have her next vacation in Esther and Yi’s house!”
“Terry did an amazing job taking take of Star! I received updates 3-4x daily which was awesome. Also, Terry was very open to accommodate the needs of Star and making sure I was comfortable as well. She definitely had a easy transition being away which is great! It's good to know that Terry is reliable and we will be using his help again!”
“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!”
About: I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect. I would love to walk or play with your dog, and have committed the time to this work despite also working from home in another profession. Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.
“My pup, Yumi, had a great time with Melanie and her pup. It was our first time doing a daycare service with Yumi but Melanie was very attentive and sweet to my Yumi. She was also very accommodating when my schedule had to change a bit as well and i greatly appreciate that. I felt comfortable and safe leaving Mr fur baby in her hands and would definitely book again in the future.”

“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”
“Madison is easily the best sitter we have ever had!!! She is reliable, caring, and so easy to work with! She continues to spoil both our pup and us with absolutely fantastic service!!”
“Tabitha is an incredible sitter and companion for my dog Scout. I can see the care and detail she takes in playing with him and making him feel important. I travel a lot for work and it’s just me so it’s always stressful knowing I have to leave my dog behind. But I’m always assured he’s in great hands with Tabitha. Thank you for all that you do. It truly matters.”
“Bronte provided pictures & detailed information about her walks with Jade. I can tell that Jade really enjoyed being out with Bronte & that reassured me that I made the perfect choice by selecting her. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Natasha is a dog whisperer! She’s fantastic with Keiko. I’ve been working with her for months now and she’s very reliable. She’s timely, great at communicating, and you can tell she really loves doggos. I’ve recommended Natasha to a few friends already and will continue to recommend her to anyone needing a reliable dog walker!”
“Milo can be a bit tempermental and a little over protective, Cashae's calm and serene aura has attributed to Milo being able to trust her and like his walks with her. I have tried other walkers in the past but they never worked out. Hooray for Cashae!!! She is also very polite and very punctual. I feel so blessed to have her.”
“Carolyn is amazing! It is so comforting as a dog owner to know he is in good hands and the pictures she send after each walk show how much he loves his time with her!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life ranging in size from a pug to english mastiffs. My last mastiff had epilepsy so no medical issue is too big for me to handle. I am a recent college graduate looking to make some extra money while looking for a job. I currently have a lot of time on my hands so I am keeping busy by helping other pet owners! Both of my dogs are friendly, but the size of my mastiff Boh can intimidate other dogs. He is a very sweet boy just large. I am able to bring them over to my fenced in yard or come to you and hang out with your pup.
“Samantha hooked me up last minute when we started an unexpected event and needed immediate recurring care. She's polite and responsive, and knows how to handle a weird finicky dog. My dog seems to love her!”
“He is wonderful! My dog loves him. He does a great job of being friendly and sweet with my animals but also keeps him in-line! He doesn't let him pull or run all over the place! He's also very respectful of my house and towards myself.”
“Yeji came three time a day to walk Eilidh while I was recovering from surgery. She was friendly, communicative, and arrived on time. Most importantly, she treated my fur baby well, giving her affection and some much needed exercise/potty time. I will definitely reach out to Yeji if I ever need help again.”

Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog made me so happy. I would book with Gloria again.”

Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“Courtney took care of my dog during our vacation and she did an outstanding job of keeping me up to date about how my dog was doing. It’s the first time I’ve used a sitter and I will definitely leave my dog with Courtney again.”
“Leaving my dog to someone I had just met once caused some consternation. However, with that first meeting I had a "meet and greet" with Steven and his own dog, which turned out just right. I dropped my cocker spaniel off with confidence. Steven sent me pictures and an update as to how my Gabby settled in. I was able to feel comfortable and able to attend a function without concern for Gabby. When I picked her up she was happy and had received wonderful care! I have returned to the area after being gone 23 months. I lost some contacts that I had. I feel enormously relieved that I have someone professional, reliable, and kind to leave Gabby with should I need to do so in the future. You will not be disappointed should you leave your trust in Steven, nor will your dog.”
“Another great stay for my little Tofu. Jhane and Emjay take good care of my little guy, send lots of photos and are great at communication. Highly recommend them.”
“I can't say enough good things about Esther and Yi. They were communicative and took great care of my pup Tilda. I received great photos of her playing with their pups and relaxing around the house. I would definitely have Tilda stay with Esther and Yi again if schedules permit.”
“Excellent! We absolutely loved Elisha and her family — Mia and even Dado (her sweet dog) 🐶. They were incredible with our new puppy and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in their care. We truly feel confident booking longer stays in the future. Elisha also shared so many beautiful photos from just one night of boarding, which meant a lot to us. We’re so grateful for the updates and the care. 💛”
“Fallon was wonderful with my dog Chloe!! From the very beginning, Fallon was communicative and made herself available to meet via digital means or in person. We met once before leaving Chloe. Both my kid and the dog were super comfortable with her. While we were gone, Fallon texted pictures daily - I could tell Chloe was well cared for and happy. I will definitely use Fallon as a sitter again and I definitely recommend her to others.”
