Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“Lindsay was just who we needed to care for our boy Migo! I can tell she cares very deeply about the animals entrusted to her, and Migo was no exception.

Lindsay truly is the best of the best and I am forever grateful for her. 💙”

“Brixton came home happy, well cared for, and exhausted from all the fun at the Hopkins residence. They communicated multiple times a day and sent photos of him running free and socializing, which really reassured me while I was away. They were very responsive any time I had specific questions. Brix will be back and I highly recommend them, they truly treat your dog like their own.”

She was very warm and loving to our dog, got to know him and cared for him accordingly. We were kept abreast of what was going on with him every day of the 10 days that we were away and felt totally comfortable with her. We will definitely board our dog with her again.”

“Alicia was very proficient and knowledgeable working with my cat to give her fluids for early stage renal decline over a 3 1/2 week time. She was very pleasant, flexible in setting up appointments, on time, and conscientious about modifying her schedule if needed. I hope to work with her again!”
About: I worked with the Blue Ridge Humane Society, caring for cats, kittens and other pets. I was able to feed them, entertain them, scratch them if they like — and learn a lot of different cat behaviors. I’d love to bring my skills to your own loving furry babies.
“Rebeka couldn’t be nicer and handled our handful of a dog very well. She responds to messages quickly, and I appreciated her reaching out to confirm the day of our scheduled appointment. She is very prompt and has a lot of dog behavioral experience that is helpful. I would not hesitate to use her again!”
“It's hard to find someone who can watch your pet during the holidays, Grace came through for me, its my second time using her and love that I can relax and not worry about by fur baby knowing she is taking care of her. Thanks, Grace!”
About: I've taken care of cats for the past 18 years, both my own pets and also with fostering stray and trap-neuter-release of feral cats when I lived in New Jersey. I am very comfortable caring for all breeds and have experience with delivering medications and grooming.
“As a spur of the moment idea, that I had heard about through a friend in CA, I contacted Rover and had a good, instant, comforting response. The care giver was great and did send picures and I was very comforted. Thanks to her.”
About: As a cat owner, I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I understand that cats do best when their routine stays consistent and their environment feels safe and familiar. My experience ranges from energetic kittens to laid-back seniors, and I tailor my care to each cat’s individual needs, comfort level, and personality.
About: As a dedicated dog walker and in-home pet sitter with over two years of experience, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet.

“Brante cared for our three furbabies (cats) like they were her own! I felt completely at ease leaving my cats for a couple days, knowing they were in good hands! They received lots of extra attention and cuddles 😊”
“Brina is incredible with our two cats. She really cares for them and pays attention to what they want, and actively engages with them in playtime and cuddles while at our house. She sends great photos, is extremely responsible and communicative, and gives us peace of mind when traveling. I can't recommend her enough!!”
About: Before joining Rover I mainly provided my services through word of mouth. I have experience with providing basic medical care for dogs and cats, and training experience including potty training and easing separation anxiety. I have vast experience and knowledge on various breeds and their specific needs, and really just love being able to have the time and availability to be able to provide these services. They say a dog is a man’s best friend, but in my case, a dog has always been a woman’s best friend! I offer dog sitting, walking, training and boarding at my home as well. I am brand new to the app but I do have plenty of references and want to make all owners feel just as comfortable as I want to ensure their pets will feel with me! I currently work a part-time job from my home, so I have a flexible schedule and able to meet any needs your pet has. I am available everyday, all hours mainly, and can accommodate you and your pets schedule! In my home all pets are welcome. I have plenty of walking trails and a back yard for pets that stay at my home. I typically will customize the walks, food, bathing etc depending on the needs of the pet and what works best for them and the owner.
“Sabrina was wonderful! We had to make a very last minute request to feed our kitties and Sabrina came to the rescue. Our senior kitty is very shy and often won't come out or even eat for people she's not familiar with, but she did for Sabrina! We were also provided with numerous photos, updates, and a very detailed write up of the visit. We will certainly be reaching out when we need services in the future!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wittman
“She went above and beyond. Taking great care of our precious puppy George Bailey. It was a great relief to have someone watching him during the heat wave. She went above and beyond to help. Would book again and recommend.”
About: I’ve had dogs and horses for my whole life, and I have experience with all types of animals like donkeys and goats! I’m a pre-vet student looking for more animal time! I’m an undergrad student looking to help out when I’m on breaks or have free time at school! Also available during the holidays if you’re planning on going out of town and can’t take your pet! I have a fully fenced in yard and one sweet, small dog at home! But I can divide the house and keep them separated if necessary. I love all breeds and even nervous pups!
“Meeting Stephanie for the first time was great. We are new to the area and she welcomed us to Oxford. Stephanie made our dog Bella feel comfortable to her house,yard and her dog before we left her. This was a great experience for us in such a short notice.”
“Thank you, Jessica. It was a relief to have my older pup in such loving, capable hands. Thank you for sending photos along throughout the day. It helped take my mind off of my surgical day.”

About: Hi there! My name is Stacia and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am a dog owner too! Remi is a 2 years old, playful, dark yellow lab. He is fixed. I’m familiar with ensuring the environment is right for your dog. I previously owned a dog with high anxiety and wasn’t friendly with strangers. I understand the importance of making sure your guidelines for your pet are followed. I can give oral medications, follow your training rules, walk large dogs, handle dogs that aren’t friendly with strangers, high anxiety, and have disabilities (ex. Deaf, blind). These dogs are our best friends so I promise to take great care of yours :) If you have any additional questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to chat or meet prior to booking to ensure I am a good fit for your pup! I believe in open communication to ensure the safety of you, your pet, me and mine. I work fully remote and am able to support daycare and boarding. I usually walk my dog morning, mid day and evening for 30 min to an hour at a time. I’d like to be able to support other people who need assistance. During the week your dog won’t be left alone for more than an hour depending on drop off and pick up time. During the weekend your dog won’t be left longer than 3-4 hours depending. We can always communicate your dogs specific needs to accommodate! I have a fenced yard in our home and a friendly, playful 2 year old male lab (fixed). If your dog is in my home, they do need to be friendly with other dogs. During the week I do work full time so there are times where I am in meetings so it is preferred your dog is not destructive or is okay in a crate or enclosed room during meetings. I do make sure the dogs are exercised before and after. I communicate my anticipated work schedule and plan for the day with the pet owner.
“If I could give Lindsay 10 STARS I would!!! If you're traveling to the Annapolis area and don't know who to trust with your most precious asset - your pup (this was me!) - choose Lindsay! As you can see from all of Lindsays reviews, she is amazing with animals - its in her heart - but what makes Lindsay stands apart is her responsiveness, her communication, her ability to work with your schedule. She is so kind, and loving towards your dog, that you can enjoy your time away with peace in your heart. Thank you for everything Lindsay! <3”
“We had a great experience with Brittany. She took great care of our 8 month old puppy, she made sure to get an idea of his schedule and get an idea of what our puppy was like before we dropped him off. At the end of the day when we picked up our pup, we could tell he had a great day filled with lots of care, fun, and attention.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.
“Mary was great, she just incorporated Allie into her family and daily life. She sent photos of Allie totally chilling out and interacting with people. It made me feel better knowing she was safe and content. I could see that in her face and body language.”
“Lucy and Daniel are a great team for the best doggy daycare you could ever want/need for your dog! My dog is extremely needy and they gave him nothing but love. We look forward to next time!”
About: Animals have always been the center of my life, and caring for them is so much more than a job to me — it’s truly my passion. I currently have four dogs and five cats of my own, so I understand firsthand the love, attention, patience, and responsibility that go into providing excellent pet care every single day. My experience with animals goes far beyond personal pet ownership. I worked at a dog rescue for three years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and special needs. During that time, I also fostered 52 dogs, helping them transition into safe, loving homes. That experience taught me how to build trust with nervous pets, handle different personalities, and provide compassionate, individualized care. In addition, I have been working as a veterinary technician for the past two years, which has given me strong knowledge of animal health, behavior, safety, and overall well-being. I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness, administering attentive care, and making sure pets feel safe and supported. What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and dedication I bring to every animal I meet. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra patience, I have the experience and heart to provide exceptional care. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly life. Each day, I set aside dedicated time for feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship to ensure every pet receives consistent attention and care. Every pet receives the love, care, and attention they need to thrive, making their time with me a happy and fulfilling experience. When caring for pets, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. In my home, I ensure a secure and pet-friendly space by removing hazards, providing comfortable bedding, and maintaining a clean environment. I follow the owner's instructions meticulously, maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any specific care requirements. I build trust by being patient, gentle, and attentive, allowing pets to adjust at their own pace. Regular playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement help create a bond and alleviate any anxiety they may feel. In a client's home, I respect their space and maintain their pet's routine as closely as possible. I follow their instructions regarding feeding, walking, medication, and playtime. I ensure the home is secure, checking that doors and windows are properly closed and that there are no potential hazards. I communicate regularly with the owner, providing updates and photos to reassure them that their pet is in good hands. My goal is to provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment, whether in my home or theirs, so pets feel secure and loved in their owner's absence.
“Laura is fantastic! Our pup Luna had a great time and loved playing around in the yard and with her two lovely pups. Laura was great to work with and sent pictures during Luna’s daycare session. Thanks!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now, through my friends, family, neighbors and my own 2 puppies! I’m a college athlete who’s very active, so I’m happy to run/play and keep energetic dogs exercised while also making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, caring for my own two dogs! However, I’m a college student now, who lives an hour away from home, but I’m back for weekends and have plenty of free time to care for pets! I provide a safe, fun environment for pets. I have a fenced yard for running around outside, and two friendly dogs who would love to make friends! I closely supervise pets and will follow all instructions/special requests strictly from owners!

“Ruby came back so sleepy! Exactly what I want from an hour walk. Bridget asks good questions and gives you updates about how your dog is doing. She is very aware of her surroundings and making sure Ruby is able to have her best walk. Ruby is afraid of cars and kids- I heard Bridget praise and redirect Ruby when encountering a scary thing. She really cares about my dog and it is noticeable. 10/10- highly recommend!”
About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have grown up with cats, dogs, and horses my whole life and have loved every moment of it. I started pet sitting for clients in my late twenties and really enjoy doing it. I have helped take care of cats, dogs, horses, and chickens (I know crazy!). They have ranged through all of the age groups. Clients seem to like me and have repeatedly asked me pet sit/house sit for them. Your pets are in great hands with me :) I am currently working full time, Monday through Friday from 8:00-5:00 but am available on the weekends. I am more than happy to stay at your house during the week but just know that I will be away from your animal during my work day but I can, if needed, go back to your house on my lunch break to take your dog for a walk or take care of any medication administration. I will usually ask you your pet's routine. When does he/she get fed in the morning? When do they go for their walk? Do they like playing outside? Favorite toy? When is dinner? I will stick to that routine so that your pet feels comfortable and happy when you are away. I will always ask if you need me to do anything around your house as well. I will water your plants for you, take out the trash/recycling, or get your mail. I am very tidy and will never leave a mess after I leave.

About: I have been a guide dog puppy raiser for the Seeing Eye since 2016 and was responsible for their general care, obedience, and socialization. I also have experience with our own rescue dogs and cats. A few summers ago, I worked at a dog boarding facility and provided general care for all different breeds of dogs. I would love to take care of your pet in your home so they are less stressed. I am also happy to provide dog walking and daily check-ins when you aren't able to be home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and I am available on week days and weekends. The more lead time I have, the more flexible I can be. I will happily keep your pets on their daily schedule as you see fit. I am comfortable playing with the dogs in a fenced area or walking them on a leash.

“This was our first time using Rebeka and she was phenomenal.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I started high school. I grew up with dogs, cats and poultry and those are the animals I’ve taken care of most. I’m comfortable with senior care for sure but young puppies and extremely young kittens are outside of my comfort zone. I’m currently commuting to SU for this last semester and finishing off a major doesn’t allow for a lot of job opportunities that were available previously due to the amount of at-home work required. Pet sitting allows a lot more flexibility and brings the brain break of hanging out with fur babies to fit into the class work chaos. I currently have a cat of my own who stays with me as well as my childhood cat and dog who live with my parents. I’ve often pet sat for family and am comfortable with all ages except young puppies and very young kittens.
About: My name is Taylor and I am a veterinary technician servicing the DMV area. I have been working with dogs specifically since I was 15 and cats since I was 18. I personally have a cat and have had dogs in the past, and I understand the stress put on the importance of finding someone that you can trust to watch your animals while you are away. Safety is my upmost concern and as a veterinary technician and a groomer, I am very experienced in dog and cat care and would love to babysit your little angel! I can't wait to meet you and thanks for visiting my profile! I currently work from home so I have more than enough time to devote to your pet and their individual needs. My hours are not necessarily tied to a desk or computer either, so I am able to do walks freely throughout the day. Depending on the customers request, I am able to accommodate most housing accomodations. There is a room specifically designated in the house for the pet for the duration of the stay, which has toys, beds, food and water as well as a TV. it’s also a daybed for me as well so that I am able to stay in the room with your pet. My backyard is large and it’s open, however I will be keeping pers on-leash anytime they are outside.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have six years of pet care experience. As a Biology Pre-Med student at Howard University, I balance my passion for science with my love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, including puppies and senior dogs. I provide attentive care, ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away ☺️❤️ As a student at Howard University, my school schedule keeps me busy, but I have plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays Mondays and Tuesdays from 8am-4pm and open Fridays. Making sure your pets receive the attention and exercise they need. I have a spacious home, perfect for dog sitting, with plenty of room for pets to play and feel comfortable. I’m also open to dog sitting in clients’ homes if preferred. Whether at my place or yours, I ensure a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your furry friend!
About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks. I play with cats and even bring along toys that I know my cats love.
About: I genuinely love animals. I grew up with two dogs and a cat. I’ve watched over other family dogs and cats for weeks and even months at a time. I work at most 6 hour shifts per day and 4 days per week so I have plenty of free time for play, walking and cuddles. I currently live with one pup who I walk daily before work and we love going on hikes or to the lake on a nice day

“Pax was extremely excited to stay with Denise (and Andy!) He ran to her front door and couldn’t wait to go see his friend. When we picked him up, he was happy and definitely well-cared for!”
“Mady was great. Thank you for letting me drop Honey off early in the morning, and staying up close to midnight so that I could pick her up. You listened well to Honey’s needs, and I can tell she enjoyed herself in your big backyard. Would definitely use again.”
“Shelby was really great - she was flexible as my plans changed a bit and took Elmer to the park multiple times throughout his stay with her. He wasn’t anxious at all when I picked him up - always a sign he had a great weekend. Will definitely book with Shelby again!”
“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“Lindsay was just who we needed to care for our boy Migo! I can tell she cares very deeply about the animals entrusted to her, and Migo was no exception. Even as an anxious dog, his short vacation with them left him a l little bummed out to be leaving! For a caring and devoted animal lover to watch over your own, look no further! Lindsay truly is the best of the best and I am forever grateful for her. 💙”
“Celena was great with our 7 month old pup, Ace! He had so much fun at her house. She sent us many pictures and videos several times a day and for all of them he was playing and have the best time with her dog and her family. We would definitely book Celena again!”

There is plenty of room for playtime and resting. Pets are welcome on all furniture
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
“Elizabeth is attentive to Maddie. She communicates with me daily about and sends photos. I highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking for a personable, loving, caring and attentive sitter. Elizabeth is a gem.”
“Donna is a true dog lover. It was evident to us from our meet and greet that she is familiar with dog behavior and has the temperament to deal with different types of dogs. She was very warm and loving to our dog, got to know him and cared for him accordingly. We were kept abreast of what was going on with him every day of the 10 days that we were away and felt totally comfortable with her. We will definitely board our dog with her again.”
“Bianca took such wonderful care of our dog! This was our first time having a sitter and she was very reassuring and responsive. She's very communicative and made sure to plenty of take photos, which I appreciated. Her whole family made Kiki feel at home, with lots cuddles!”
About: Hi there! My name is Stacia and I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I am a dog owner too! Remi is a 2 years old, playful, dark yellow lab. He is fixed. I’m familiar with ensuring the environment is right for your dog. I previously owned a dog with high anxiety and wasn’t friendly with strangers. I understand the importance of making sure your guidelines for your pet are followed. I can give oral medications, follow your training rules, walk large dogs, handle dogs that aren’t friendly with strangers, high anxiety, and have disabilities (ex. Deaf, blind). These dogs are our best friends so I promise to take great care of yours :) If you have any additional questions for me, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am happy to chat or meet prior to booking to ensure I am a good fit for your pup! I believe in open communication to ensure the safety of you, your pet, me and mine. I work fully remote and am able to support daycare and boarding. I usually walk my dog morning, mid day and evening for 30 min to an hour at a time. I’d like to be able to support other people who need assistance. During the week your dog won’t be left alone for more than an hour depending on drop off and pick up time. During the weekend your dog won’t be left longer than 3-4 hours depending. We can always communicate your dogs specific needs to accommodate! I have a fenced yard in our home and a friendly, playful 2 year old male lab (fixed). If your dog is in my home, they do need to be friendly with other dogs. During the week I do work full time so there are times where I am in meetings so it is preferred your dog is not destructive or is okay in a crate or enclosed room during meetings. I do make sure the dogs are exercised before and after. I communicate my anticipated work schedule and plan for the day with the pet owner.
“Tank has found a home away from home with Brittany and her family! He is well cared for and is happy when with Brittany. I can tell by the way he pulls at the leash when we get out of the car at her house! He can't wait to get to the front door and runs into the house like he's part of the family. I would give Brittany 10 stars if the site would let me!!”
“Marta has become our go-to day care provider and boarder, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found her. Our dog, Miss Charlie, has stayed with Marta approximately five times now, including the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Each time, Charlie has had a fantastic experience. This last time included a wonderfully special Thanksgiving meal featuring turkey and sweet potatoes! As an overly protective dog mom, finding someone who cares for your pup as much as you do can be challenging. However, I can confidently say that Marta loves our dog just as much as we do. We have complete trust in her, and her professional-quality pictures not only keep us informed but also make us miss our pup even more—they are so cute! If you're in search of an exceptional sitter for your pup, look no further. Marta is, without a doubt, the best choice. We highly recommend her!”
“A very positive experience. My Bear received highly personalized care and a happy home to live & play in. Very communicative service and professional care! Highly recommended.”
“Jen and her husband were the BEST! We had a rocky start with Bronx adjusting to the change, but after day 1, it seemed everything fell into place. Jen sent pictures and updates and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to care for your fur baby like it’s their own.”
“Jillian was the best! She treated our pet just as her own, and continuously provided us with heartwarming updates. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
