“We can’t say enough amazing things about Renee, she was truly our angel during a very stressful moment while we were on vacation in Florida. The place where our dog was staying unexpectedly call us and rudely demanded that we pick up our dog immediately. Being out there of state with no one nearby to help, we were completely panicked and heartbroken. My husband remember about Rover and he find Renee, she responded very quickly asking the situation and accept our booking. Without hesitation, she stepped in and went out of her way to pick up our dog for us. She was incredibly sweet, caring, and compassionate, exactly what we needed in that moment. She treated our puppy with so much love and care, like he was her own, and kept us updated and send us pictures of him smiling and acting like he is at home. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and will never forget what she did for us. Thank you, dear Renee, you are truly one of a kind!❤️🐾”
“Ellen is terrific. Her beautiful spacious farm provides a great change for dogs like mine who are inside an urban house. She is kind, thoughtful, and flexible.. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“John and his wife did a great job with our pug, Ellie. They have a really nice house with a good sized fenced yard. They exercised Ellie and gave her the allergy pills. They sent us some great pictures and video of Ellie. I highly recommend them, and I will be using them again!”
“I had to leave my dog Thenji with Adrienne and Nick at very short notice. They were able to take her. It was so reassuring to know that she was being so lovingly cared for!”
“Chris and Gerry are so nice, loving, and kind. My girls felt at ease while staying with them. It helps that they only take one client at a time. If you are looking for someone to love your babies like their own, look no further. Definitely book with Chris and Gerry!”
“Rachel and Jason took great care of our little Shi-Chi overnight. Pepper is usually such a creature of habit that we didn't know what to expect, but seeing the photos of her while we were away really put our minds at ease. Rachel even went the extra mile cuddling our little lap dog and seeing that her ponytail and bow were straight. Highly recommend!”
“Terri was amazing. So chill and relaxed around our sensitive dog. She is one of those rare sitters that does not have her own dogs or cats and is 100% dedicated to yours. She has a house and yard that are peaceful and quiet and in a great neighborhood for interesting walks. I would 100% recommend Terri, she is an absolute gem.”
“My pups are a handful, especially together. Puppy energy is unmatched with them. Rene did not complain and was super patient with them as I’m sure they were a handful for her. Went out of state for 2 days and when I picked them back up they were happy and healthy. Great job!”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
“Buddy was in good hands and slept solidly after his two days of visiting. We will use Darshini and Joseph again in the near future. Thank you for taking care of our Buddy.”
About: I recently lost my 14-year old bulldog and I am looking to reconnect with dogs before committing to another long term companion. I have experience with senior dog care, to include dogs with cancer and dementia. I work full-time from home. During the day, I would be able to offer 2 15 -minute bathroom visits/walks during my breaks from work. I also have flexibility when other needs arise. In the evenings, I am free to give your dog as much love and attention as they desire. I only accept 1 dog at a time (unless multiple dogs are from the same owner and the dogs are pair bonded). I was single handedly responsible for my own dog for 11 years before she died of old age, so I know what it takes to compassionately care for a dog. I have also watched my friends’ dogs and my parent’s dog for weeks at a time. Taking care of dogs is not a new experience for me. I work from home and have complete control over the flexibility of my schedule. I can take breaks from my work to attend to your dogs needs 2 times per day during my 15-minute breaks. I am free evenings. I can also use my breaks to give walks/pet stop-ins if within close proximity to my house. I am willing to take care of dogs who prefer free play in a fenced in yard or those that prefer longer leash walks or park outings. I have no problem with free roam in the house or crating, whichever fits best with the dog’s regular routine. I have a big fenced in back yard and live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park 1 block away. I also have a good relationship with a local vet in case of emergencies.
“Sage lived her absolute best life during her 6 night stay with Sandra! I can not say enough incredible things about her stay. We got daily picture updates and you could see how happy sage was! Sandra was flexible and even allowed for us to drop Sage off super early in the morning, 5am and was happy to do it. She has a huge back yard and sage loved that she often had other dogs to play with. Sandra and her family gave her extra love, treats and even let her play in a kiddie pool. We are happy to have found someone we are comfortable watching our 7 month old bernedoodle, prior to this stay we never left her with anyone else. We will definitely use Sandra for future needs and would recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Iesha and her family were great! She took Brody on such a short notice. I appreciate the meet and greet with her dog Luca before making my decision. I was able to enjoy my time away! Thank you so much!”
“Maria and Brian were incredible sitters for our dog Felix. They have a warm, inviting home and clearly care very much for the dogs they are watching. Our 6 month old shepherd mix has a ton of energy - he was clearly well exercised he came home so tired! We received regular updates and our dog was so happy to be there that he didn't want to leave! We will definitely be using them again and we highly recommend them for a loving home away from home for your pup. Thank you Maria, Brian (and kids!) for loving our dog as he were a part of your family!”
“Thank you Miranda for taking such great care of my corgi. The regular updates with photos were a great comfort knowing my 4 footed friend was safe and having a great time!”
“Emily is incredible! My dogs stayed with her for a full week and came home well cared for, loved, and happy. They exercised every day in a safe, wide-open yard, and she really went above and beyond when they refused to eat at first, giving them soft food and diligently encouraging them to make sure they were comfortable. I cannot thank you enough, Emily!!”
“First time using Rover, and I was so nervous to leave my fur babies. I couldn’t have picked a better sitter! Jennifer and her partner Juan are definitely pet lovers and my dogs could sense that immediately. Will absolutely be using them again!”
“Dorian is wonderful! I have already booked to use him again. He has a routine with the dogs that is so attentive and reliable. He is extremely responsive to messages and is flexible with scheduling.”
“Casey was awesome with Coda! She had a great time hanging out and running around with her dog Jojo. She’s already been sleeping most of the day just from all the fun she had there.”
“Nat &Ally are amazing, this is by far the best Rover service that I ever had and I have been using Rovers for more than 3 years. They are very attentive, they do a meeting before the drop off day, they truly want to make sure my furbaby will feel welcome and safe. They asked all the right questions, food, timing, snacks, what is he allowed or not to do and so on. They have a backyard which is great for my chocolate lab to play and they have a playful dog that was perfect for Rocco. We even got a drawing from Rocco, from one of the kids, that made me cry…Happy cry! They are all super sweet. Love their vibe and respect. I recommend them 100%. I would be looking forward to work with them more often.”

“Sarah watched our pets for 5 days. She was professional, consistently on time for each visit, and took good care of our pets. We greatly appreciated the photos and updates that she sent us with each visit. She relieved much of the the stress of being away from our babies. Thank you 😊”
“Ms. Maureen is the only person we trust to take care of our two cats in our home while we go out of town. Every time she is punctual, caring, kind, and goes above and beyond for our two babies. She is so thoughtful with everything she does. We can’t put into words how much we appreciate her. If you are looking to have great care for your pets, book with Ms. Maureen. You will be happy you did. ❤️”
“We had a great experience! She stopped by twice to let our dogs out while we were away and was reliable, communicative, and very caring with them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Kristy was amazing with our cats!! She sent the best updates each visit and pictures. It was our first time leaving them all together alone and we felt so at peace knowing how well they were being taken care of. We trust her completely with our babies and will definitely be booking with her next time we go away if she is available! Thank you, Kristy!!!”
“Lily was great to work with. It was so easy to communicate with her and she always responded promptly. I believe my cats had a good time with her. I definitely would like to work with her again if she's available.”
“Ellie is fantastic ! She is beyond patient with our shy cat and completely understanding of her boundaries. Ellie is one of the only sitters we trust to take care of Obi.”
“Anhelika is definitely the cat whisperer. Mine LOVE her and have really taken to her. I truly appreciate the care she provides, just as if they were her own pets. I will continue to book her as often as possible.”
“Shelby has been so thoughtful and so caring while taking care of my two cats. She is very communicative, which I love from a pet sitter, because I treat my cats like my children. She shared feedback about my cat’s behavior, appetite, and sent photos too. I will definitely be requesting her assistance with drop in visits in the future!”
About: I grew up and lived with many cats over the years. I absolutely adore them. In high school I did some volunteering with cats at my hometown’s humane society. I just adopted an 8 month old cat named Delilah. She’s the sweetest! I love cats and enjoy giving them playtime and becoming their friend.
“Stephanie is amazing with our furry babies! It’s so nice to see pictures of them while on vacation…and she waters my indoor and outdoor plants. She’s wonderful…oh and she is taking care of our baby monarch caterpillars and chrysalis… The best pet sitter! Wouldn’t trust our lovies with anyone else!”
About: Lover of all fur babies! I had cats from a young age, I lived with and help care for two cats in college, and currently help care for several for friends who travel frequently for work. So years of experience..I guess you could say a life time. If you tell me their individual personalities, their favorite toys, and their favorite places to get pets; then I can promise you they’ll be loved in your absence and I can hope that its enough that they aren’t spiteful about you leaving when you return!
“Sarah is the best! She takes the best photos of our kitties, is flexible and responsible. We love to hire her for all our cat-sitting needs! I feel so much better going away and knowing Sarah is visiting them, and I look forward to my rover notification every day we are gone.”
“Lauren went above and beyond taking care of our cats! Our cats have 3 very different personalities and she did a great job making sure they were comfortable with her. She’s very thorough and left great report cards for us while we were away, I would definitely recommend Lauren for your pet care needs!”
“Sophia was very easy to talk with and took great care of my cat, Angel! Although she usually suffers from separation anxiety, when I came home Angel was doing really well and was her usual happy self! I’m sure it was in large part because of Sophia’s visit.”
About: 🐾 Cat Experience My journey with cats began with a shy tabby I adopted from an animal shelter in Darnestown. She was cautious, observant, and needed time to feel safe, and caring for her shaped the way I approach every cat I meet. She taught me that trust cannot be rushed, and that the best care comes from patience, gentleness, and learning each cat’s unique personality. Since then, my love for cats has only grown, one cat at a time, into a five-cat household. Living with five very different feline personalities has given me not only deep joy, but also hands-on experience in understanding what helps cats feel comfortable, secure, and truly cared for. As your cat’s butler, I focus on providing calm, attentive, detail-oriented care. I keep routines steady, feeding areas clean, water fresh, and litter boxes well maintained, whether that means traditional litter boxes, Breeze systems, or automatic litter robots. I’m also comfortable giving medication with care and patience. I pay close attention to behavior, energy, and small changes that may matter, and I always aim to leave your home neat, peaceful, and your cat feeling relaxed. You’ll receive thoughtful updates and photos along the way, so you can feel confident that your cat is in caring and capable hands.
“Claire is a great and conscientious pet care-giver. She gave me regular updates and was always quick to respond if I had questions. I have already booked her for another visit.”
“Very kind and professional. Erika took very good care of our cat while we are out of town. We have had her care for our cat twice and will definitely ask her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets for friends and family. I care for our pets’ emotional health in addition to physical health. I like to make sure our pets get a lot of mental stimulation. I’ve helped with training puppies, bathing dogs and introducing new pets to each other (cats and dogs). My husband and I both work from home so we spend most of our time with our pets at home. We also enjoy training sessions and setting up puppy play dates with our pups. For our cats we have food puzzles for their mental stimulation. Our pets are a part of our family! We spend most of our time playing and snuggling with them. We also enjoy spending time learning each of their personalities.

“Ellen is great! She has a big heart and is an animal person through and through. We started out with a few boarding visits and now go to Ellen for day care every week. She’s very easy to work with and has a great location for dogs to run around/play/hike. Thanks Ellen!”
“Poppy is well loved and cared for with Darshini and Joseph. She ls always excited seeing Darshini every morning, I love how comfortable Poppy has gotten with her new pet friends as well.”
“We are new with Renee, Kuro has been consistently going in for day care for the past 3 weeks and I must say he has a blast. He is happy to go there, gets to play with other pups. Renee is patient and very attentive. She accommodates requests and also goes that extra mile to care for our pup. Thank you Renee.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Sandra quickly responded and was able to welcome Handsome in her home in with only a day notice. When we got home, Handsome came in and slept the evening away, thanks to Sandra and her little guy playing and running with him. ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and currently have Berlioz, my 6-year-old tabby, and Chibi, my 6-month-old Husky. I love giving pets the time, attention, patience, and affection they deserve. As a nurse, being responsible and attentive comes naturally to me, and I’d love to give your furry family member the same loving care I give my own! 🐶🐱❤️ I'm currently working as a full-time nurse, but I only work 3 days a week which gives me plenty of time in the rest of the week to take care of your furry pets! We live in a single family home with an unfenced backyard but in a quiet neighborhood. There's plenty of lawn space and a 10x10 ft dog pen in our backyard.
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I love animals, as they are the most loving and authentic little beings. I’ve always had dogs and have taken care of family/friends/neighbors’ dogs when needed. I offer boarding, walks, a fenced in yard and socialization with my children and my own pets. Your pup will be in good hands and loved! My household always has an adult home for walks or ability to go out in the yard at anytime. We pop in and out on sports practice days in the evenings and for games on the weekends. Never more than 2 hours at a time. I have a large fenced in yard, can crate your pup and can offer walks, the ability to sit or lay on furniture, socialization for my kids, and socialization for my dog and other pets
“Rachel and Jason were great! I provided Rachel with a list of things we do to train our puppy and she was so helpful, she helped us with reinforcing his training. I have already booked a future stay for Kuzco with them. Hr had a blast.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with more than 50 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, gerbils, and fish, giving me a deep understanding that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience administering medications and providing attentive, individualized care. My goal is to give your dog a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home while you’re away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I maintain a consistent routine to make sure pets in my care are comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I enjoy spending time with animals and will provide regular interaction, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can stay connected and know your pet is happy and doing well. Pets staying in my home become part of the family. We have a friendly Boston Terrier and a secure fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy safe outdoor time, play, and fresh air. I provide a calm, loving environment with attention to each dog’s individual needs, including their feeding schedule, exercise routine, medications, and comfort preferences. I keep my home safe and welcoming so your dog can relax and feel at ease while you’re away. For additional peace of mind, we live just two miles from a highly respected veterinary clinic should an emergency ever arise.
“Marne, Bailey, and her family welcomed Leah last minute. Even though we both prefer meet and greets, they opened their doors to Leah for a full 10-hr daycare. They alsl addressed all my questions before booking, and before and after daycare. Loved, loved, loved the full communication between us about Leah's day and took great care of all Leah's need in a very structured manner. Based on the report card, leah had a blast with them. As a first time customer to them, I'm beyond happy to call them my first official dog sitters in their area, especially since I move all the time around the District of Columbia and the surrounding states. Thank you so much! We'll see you again!”
About: Hi, my name is Adrienne. My husband Nick and I live in a row home in downtown Frederick. I am an animal lover and will treat your pets like my own! I have been providing pet sitting services for friends and families for over 20 years. And for over 16 years, I raised dogs from puppy to adulthood. I volunteer at humane societies and have experience carrying for dogs with medical and special needs. No breed or size is off limits. I have a lot of experience with small dogs. I have used rover as a pet parent and strive to be the best sitter for you. I will provide daily updates via phone, text, or email depending on your preferences. I love sending photo updates of your pet doing fun things. We have a fenced yard for your pet to play in. I offer a complimentary meet and greet before your booking to become acquainted with you and your pets. This meet and greet is important to ensure I am the right fit for you and your pets. Im currently working part time so have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I am available throughout the day to check in and walk your pets and am available for boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Your pet will have freedom throughout our row home and the fenced in yard. If they prefer their space, they will have a bedroom and floor all to themselves. If they like to make friends, we have one really friendly 7lb yorkshire terrier that would love to be their new friend. Our dog is crate trained and can be kept separated based on the client’s preference.
About: my goal is to provide the best pet, dog and cat sitting service. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding your cat or talking to your bird as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving details of caring for your cats, dogs, birds and even chickens! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one Asheville cat owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my cats as well as I do after a few short days.”
“Xiaoyi is so friendly and kind and considerate, she was very responsive and flexible, and took great care of my dog with lots of photos and videos. And she has a really nice home in a nice neighborhood in a Sage and convenient location. Definitely recommend her!”
About: Whether caring for my own family’s pets, or being trusted to walk, feed, and play with neighbors animals I have been taking care of all kinds of critters my whole life. From rats and cats, to chameleons and Corgi’s I’ve not met an animal I couldn’t get along with. I’ve had the pleasure of building trusting relationships with the most cautious of furry friends, and I understand the extra care needed for sick and senior animals. Every animal deserves loving caretakers they can trust and I’d love to become a part of you and your baby’s care team. I work flexible hours online from home so I have plenty of time for play dates, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day! If overnight care is needed I prefer to start the night with your little one no later than their dinner time. Please reach out if you have any questions. The trust and safety of you and your little one is my top priority. I understand building trust takes time and I take great care in respecting the physical boundaries of any animal I get to take care of. I always stay alert to potential dangers while on walks or potty breaks, can comfortably assist animals into kennels if needed, and protect any animals in my care as if the were my own. I always take the utmost care to meet your individual animals needs and know their sensitivities in order to provide the best care possible.
About: Greetings! I am an experienced dog owner and pet sitter, and recently just lost my wonderful lab of 14.5 years. I'm experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, and everything in between, including any dog size petite to massive! I can administer medicine as well. We have a home about 4 blocks from Baker Park in a quiet neighborhood that is good for walks, and we have a fully fenced in backyard as well. I work from home M-F 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. Occasionally I may step out for dinner with my wife or friends. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. My schedule is fairly flexible during working hours, so I can take our furry friend out for many breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that's good for walking as well, with parks close by. We love dogs, small to large, and would be happy to host yours.
“Tux has always been anxious when left behind, but did very well with Emily all day. She was very attentive to his needs and he got along well with her other daycare pup. She sent numerous pictures and answered my texts right away when I checked in on him. She asked permission to take him on a short ride in her car, which I granted since he loves car rides and hates being left behind. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy.”

“Ava was absolutely fantastic! She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the very beginning, she was communicative, punctual, and made me feel completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond by making sure my dog got plenty of exercise and attention. I highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog walker. I'll definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ava, for taking such wonderful care of my pup!”
About: As the go-to person for friends in need of dog-sitting, I recently figured "Why not expand?", hence my decision to register with Rover. Setting dogs and their people at ease brings me joy! I've had two dogs over the past 20 years: one slightly demonic and requiring special precautions, and the other a big, gentle galoot. Both absolutely stole my heart. I work from home and am available for walking (give me allll the exercise) and sitting (give me allll the cuddles). I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm around to give attention as needed, 7 days/week. I'm an early riser (6:30 give or take), so early walks or breakfasts would be no problem. I have a fenced yard that would be secure for all but the most accomplished escape artists. Your pet would have full access to all parts of the house (including furniture). That said, if crating, furniture restrictions, etc. work better for you and your dog, I would happily honor your typical rules and routines.
About: I've owned and watched dogs since I was 10 years old. From small puppies, elderly dogs, to dogs huge as a mastiff and small as a chihuahua. Whether they be my own, friends, or families I held dear, being around and caring for dogs have always been a huge part of my life! I've fed them, bathed them, given them medicine, and have always been relable. Currently, I am mostly self-employed & studying for a Real Estate license. I do work mornings at a horse barn, and have a contract gig working occasional weekends with a D&D-styled Bed & Breakfast. Thankfully those shifts are scheduled months in advance and, for barn work, typically wrap up around 11-Noon. :) I'm always willing to give dogs the ample affections and pets they need! I'm super attentive to when they need to go outside/take a walk, have their food right on schedule, have some playtime, or whenever they just geniunely need attention and love. I honestly do it everyday for my own dogs. So I'll have no trouble giving them the same needs I give my precious wee babies.
About: I've been taking care of pets since elementary school, starting with helping neighbors. I have a natural affinity with all animals and am known for my patience in understanding and addressing their unique needs. I have my own dog, whom I've been caring for over the past nine years. Additionally, I've frequently looked after family members' dogs during their vacations or whenever they needed a sitter. My experience, combined with my genuine love for animals, ensures that every pet in my care receives the utmost attention and affection. I am currently available from 6 am until 11 pm for all your pets needs. I do have flexibility in my schedule so if anything needs to be discussed I am definitely open to that! In my home, pets enjoy a comfortable, clean, and supervised environment. I maintain a regular routine for feeding, exercise, and rest to keep them happy and healthy. I have a secure backyard for safe outdoor play and regular walks to keep them active and stimulated. When caring for pets in my client's home, I adhere strictly to the provided care instructions and routines. I maintain open communication with the owners, providing regular updates and photos to reassure them that their pets are well taken care of. I am vigilant about home security, ensuring all doors and gates are properly closed and locked. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners, building a bond of trust and ensuring every pet feels loved and secure in my care.
“Jennifer was so good with Maizy! She gave quality time to Maizy playing with her as well as giving her undivided attention, and provided many photos on the report card. Maizy warmed up to her fast and you could really see how happy Maizy was in the photos 😊”
“Danielle is amazing!! She has been walking my two pups on a regular basis for a few months. She is always on time and so communicative in how my pups did on their walk. I can tell Danielle cares for them like they are her own. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was a teenager. In this house we have fur babies, not pets and we take getting our daily dose of fresh air seriously. Our home is a safe and fun place for your babies to play and relax just as they would in their home. Currently my schedule is very flexible; let me know your needs and I’ll do my absolute best to meet them! I care for my pets every day and have no problem ensuring yours are cared for too! I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood, have a fenced in back yard, and walking distance from a dog park. Tell me what works best for your dog (how many walks a day and when, any quirky habits, what works best for feeding) any thing that will help me care for your baby as I care for mine.
About: Hi, I’m Eileen. I provide gentle, attentive care for small dogs, with a focus on safety, routine, and a calm home environment. My availability is primarily weekends, holidays, and selected weekday evenings, which allows me to give each dog steady, unhurried attention. I tailor care to each pup’s personality, whether that means relaxed walks, light play, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their routine familiar and reassuring. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep bowls and rest areas clean, and send thoughtful updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease. Because I have resident cats, I’m best suited for cat-savvy small dogs. I approach introductions slowly, supervise carefully, and can keep spaces separate when needed. My style is warm, detail-oriented, and intentionally limited in volume, so each dog receives the same thoughtful care I would want for my own pets. 🕰️ Schedule I work a full-time 9–5 role during weekdays, and I thoughtfully plan my pet care visits around that schedule to ensure each visit is calm, unhurried, and consistent. On weekdays, I offer evening drop-in visits, which tend to be a natural and comforting time for most cats, which is quiet, predictable, and aligned with their evening routines. On weekends and holidays, I’m available between 10am–5pm, with more flexibility to match your cat’s preferred schedule. At home, I care for my own five cats every day, so multi-cat routines, different personalities, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment are already part of my daily life. When I visit your home, I bring that same level of attentiveness—never rushed, always respectful of your cat’s pace and space. I also keep my bookings intentionally limited so each cat receives steady, thoughtful care. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, or medication, I make sure every visit feels consistent and reassuring for both you and your cat. My primary service is caring for cats in their own home, where many feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to doors, windows, lights, and entry routines. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat and home in someone else’s care, so I treat both with great respect and attention. Each visit is tailored to your cat’s personality and your preferences. Some cats want play and affection, while others prefer quiet company and space. I pay close attention to food, water, litter box habits, and any small changes in behavior. After every visit, I send thoughtful updates with photos, videos, and a clear report, so you can feel informed and at ease while you’re away. If I ever care for a cat in my home, I would focus on slow introductions, separated food, close monitoring, and a calm, clean environment. My five resident cats are all up to date on rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and I always respect each cat’s pace and comfort level.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and currently have Berlioz, my 6-year-old tabby, and Chibi, my 6-month-old Husky. I love giving pets the time, attention, patience, and affection they deserve. As a nurse, being responsible and attentive comes naturally to me, and I’d love to give your furry family member the same loving care I give my own! 🐶🐱❤️ I'm currently working as a full-time nurse, but I only work 3 days a week which gives me plenty of time in the rest of the week to take care of your furry pets! We live in a single family home with an unfenced backyard but in a quiet neighborhood. There's plenty of lawn space and a 10x10 ft dog pen in our backyard.
“Erika had to be the best dog walker I’ve ever had. I would honestly, never want to use anyone else. I had a trip out of town that ended up having multiple flight delays and cancellations. I ended up having to extend the care last minute — she graciously worked with me on a moments notice. She was very polite and charismatic at meet and greet, took phenomenal care of Athena, was constantly quick to respond, kept me updated, sent photos, had full flexibility. She also helped work through any logistic issues efficiently and empathetically. My electronic lock to front door broke due to battery and she was at leasing office first thing, handling the situation for me. She made sure it was fixed and reassured me through my travels. She took my trash out. Left a thank you card. From start to finish she went above and beyond. It honestly felt like she treated my dog and home as her own, which is rare to find in sitters. Tremendous dog care provider. Would highly, highly recommend.”
“David did a great job with our dog and house. His prices were fair. His communications were timely. He was kind, respectful and professional. We're planning on using him again for the next dog walking job.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes, as well as a few cats, for years in a more casual setting. I usually sit for friends, family friends, and neighbors, usually through check-ins, and only a few times with boarding in my own home. I have two dogs of my own, ages 5 and 9mo who were both raised from puppies, so I have basic puppy training and grooming skills. I also have experience with dogs who need regular medication or who have specialized/specific diets. I am open to caring for any pets except birds, special needs/sensitive reptiles, and insects. I am currently a student at Penn State and I am looking for summer job in my hometown. I would most likely be free at almost any time during the week and would be open to over night stays as well with prior notice. I would be open to set a meeting with you and your pet before house sitting or check-in dates to discuss schedules and specifics as well as to meet your pet. I am currently unable to sit at my own house. My contact info will be provided and I will be available for call at all points during my care for your pet.
About: Hello - my name is Kristy and I have over 20+ years of experience with dogs. I’ve cared for a beagle for 13 years and I currently have a puggle named Zoe who is 12 years old and Lily, a 1 year old Cavapoo. I live in a family friendly community with a large fenced backyard, a park and walking trails right around the corner. Great for those dog walks! I have an 8 and 12 year old at home, so your fur baby will be entertained around the clock. I have a love for dogs and I will make sure your pet is comfortable in my home and treated as if they are my own. Your pet is free to roam the house as well as the backyard to play. I currently have a flexible work schedule during the week. I like to have our visitors get as much fresh air as possible if the weather is nice. That includes sun bathing on the patio or walks around our neighborhood park and trails. ***Please be respectful with agreed upon drop off and pick up times*** I have a fully fenced yard to wander around, a friendly “older” dog, a friendly, playful pup, and two kids to keep your fur baby entertained. I can easily crate your dog if needed per your permission. I also have a camera set up to check in on if I am out running errands.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets for friends and family. I care for our pets’ emotional health in addition to physical health. I like to make sure our pets get a lot of mental stimulation. I’ve helped with training puppies, bathing dogs and introducing new pets to each other (cats and dogs). My husband and I both work from home so we spend most of our time with our pets at home. We also enjoy training sessions and setting up puppy play dates with our pups. For our cats we have food puzzles for their mental stimulation. Our pets are a part of our family! We spend most of our time playing and snuggling with them. We also enjoy spending time learning each of their personalities.
“Nancy is fantastic. She takes my dog for a walk multiple times a week. She's very reliable and gives me feedback on my pet after each walk. She's on time and keeps my mind at ease to focus on work when I'm at work. Nancy and my dog really seem to enjoy their time together each day. I would definitely recommend Nancy to anyone needing a kind and responsible person to care for their pet.”
“Thank you so much Avril for taking me on at such a short notice Tara love it and I did to. I'd recommend you to my friends and family. I'm sure I'll be using your services very soon.”

“We can’t say enough amazing things about Renee, she was truly our angel during a very stressful moment while we were on vacation in Florida. The place where our dog was staying unexpectedly call us and rudely demanded that we pick up our dog immediately. Being out there of state with no one nearby to help, we were completely panicked and heartbroken. My husband remember about Rover and he find Renee, she responded very quickly asking the situation and accept our booking. Without hesitation, she stepped in and went out of her way to pick up our dog for us. She was incredibly sweet, caring, and compassionate, exactly what we needed in that moment. She treated our puppy with so much love and care, like he was her own, and kept us updated and send us pictures of him smiling and acting like he is at home. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and will never forget what she did for us. Thank you, dear Renee, you are truly one of a kind!❤️🐾”
“Ellen is terrific. Her beautiful spacious farm provides a great change for dogs like mine who are inside an urban house. She is kind, thoughtful, and flexible.. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Terri was amazing. So chill and relaxed around our sensitive dog. She is one of those rare sitters that does not have her own dogs or cats and is 100% dedicated to yours. She has a house and yard that are peaceful and quiet and in a great neighborhood for interesting walks. I would 100% recommend Terri, she is an absolute gem.”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
“Buddy was in good hands and slept solidly after his two days of visiting. We will use Darshini and Joseph again in the near future. Thank you for taking care of our Buddy.”
About: I recently lost my 14-year old bulldog and I am looking to reconnect with dogs before committing to another long term companion. I have experience with senior dog care, to include dogs with cancer and dementia. I work full-time from home. During the day, I would be able to offer 2 15 -minute bathroom visits/walks during my breaks from work. I also have flexibility when other needs arise. In the evenings, I am free to give your dog as much love and attention as they desire. I only accept 1 dog at a time (unless multiple dogs are from the same owner and the dogs are pair bonded). I was single handedly responsible for my own dog for 11 years before she died of old age, so I know what it takes to compassionately care for a dog. I have also watched my friends’ dogs and my parent’s dog for weeks at a time. Taking care of dogs is not a new experience for me. I work from home and have complete control over the flexibility of my schedule. I can take breaks from my work to attend to your dogs needs 2 times per day during my 15-minute breaks. I am free evenings. I can also use my breaks to give walks/pet stop-ins if within close proximity to my house. I am willing to take care of dogs who prefer free play in a fenced in yard or those that prefer longer leash walks or park outings. I have no problem with free roam in the house or crating, whichever fits best with the dog’s regular routine. I have a big fenced in back yard and live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park 1 block away. I also have a good relationship with a local vet in case of emergencies.
“Sage lived her absolute best life during her 6 night stay with Sandra! I can not say enough incredible things about her stay. We got daily picture updates and you could see how happy sage was! Sandra was flexible and even allowed for us to drop Sage off super early in the morning, 5am and was happy to do it. She has a huge back yard and sage loved that she often had other dogs to play with. Sandra and her family gave her extra love, treats and even let her play in a kiddie pool. We are happy to have found someone we are comfortable watching our 7 month old bernedoodle, prior to this stay we never left her with anyone else. We will definitely use Sandra for future needs and would recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Maria and Brian were incredible sitters for our dog Felix. They have a warm, inviting home and clearly care very much for the dogs they are watching. Our 6 month old shepherd mix has a ton of energy - he was clearly well exercised he came home so tired! We received regular updates and our dog was so happy to be there that he didn't want to leave! We will definitely be using them again and we highly recommend them for a loving home away from home for your pup. Thank you Maria, Brian (and kids!) for loving our dog as he were a part of your family!”
“Thank you Miranda for taking such great care of my corgi. The regular updates with photos were a great comfort knowing my 4 footed friend was safe and having a great time!”
“Emily is incredible! My dogs stayed with her for a full week and came home well cared for, loved, and happy. They exercised every day in a safe, wide-open yard, and she really went above and beyond when they refused to eat at first, giving them soft food and diligently encouraging them to make sure they were comfortable. I cannot thank you enough, Emily!!”
“First time using Rover, and I was so nervous to leave my fur babies. I couldn’t have picked a better sitter! Jennifer and her partner Juan are definitely pet lovers and my dogs could sense that immediately. Will absolutely be using them again!”
“Dorian is wonderful! I have already booked to use him again. He has a routine with the dogs that is so attentive and reliable. He is extremely responsive to messages and is flexible with scheduling.”
“Casey was awesome with Coda! She had a great time hanging out and running around with her dog Jojo. She’s already been sleeping most of the day just from all the fun she had there.”
“Nat &Ally are amazing, this is by far the best Rover service that I ever had and I have been using Rovers for more than 3 years. They are very attentive, they do a meeting before the drop off day, they truly want to make sure my furbaby will feel welcome and safe. They asked all the right questions, food, timing, snacks, what is he allowed or not to do and so on. They have a backyard which is great for my chocolate lab to play and they have a playful dog that was perfect for Rocco. We even got a drawing from Rocco, from one of the kids, that made me cry…Happy cry! They are all super sweet. Love their vibe and respect. I recommend them 100%. I would be looking forward to work with them more often.”
“Justin and Kacy were fantastic with lil Rob. This was our first time leaving him with someone for an extended stay and they did great. They provided updates daily along with pictures and made sure he got the attention he craved. Highly recommend and will use again.”
“We had a great experience with Jennifer starting with the meet and greet and early communication, and we our expectations were exceeded with our 2 year old pup's weekend stay. We were given daily updates and photos, and could tell when we picked him up that he was well cared for and happy. She is very detail oriented and cares about your pet's personal needs! Felt very comfortable leaving him. Will definitely use her again :)”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for many years and currently have two senior dogs of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency pets need to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and the extra care that comes with older dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and household rules. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their boundaries, especially with senior, shy, or anxious pets. When staying in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space, keep the home secure, and provide regular updates so owners can feel comfortable while they’re away.
“Linda was fabulous, personal, caring & informative. She kept us updated with photos & comments during Charlie’s stay. Lovely fenced back yard, and nearby walkways allowed Charlie to thoroughly enjoy himself. Absolutely first class! I recommend Linda without reservation.”
About: Greetings! I am an experienced dog owner and pet sitter, and recently just lost my wonderful lab of 14.5 years. I'm experienced with puppies, adults, seniors, and everything in between, including any dog size petite to massive! I can administer medicine as well. We have a home about 4 blocks from Baker Park in a quiet neighborhood that is good for walks, and we have a fully fenced in backyard as well. I work from home M-F 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. Occasionally I may step out for dinner with my wife or friends. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and am generally home at all times. My schedule is fairly flexible during working hours, so I can take our furry friend out for many breaks and walks. I have a fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood that's good for walking as well, with parks close by. We love dogs, small to large, and would be happy to host yours.
