Personalized care for your dog or cat - Woodleaf
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Woodleaf
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our puppy dog received from Jena! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. We received daily updates with videos and pictures, which were such a comforting touch and really showed how much fun he was having. It was clear he was being treated like one of the family. When he came home, he was happy, healthy—and completely exhausted from all the playtime and attention! We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Mila took very good care of my dog over a long weekend. It was so nice not to have to worry and Mila send updates on how things were going. I definitely will have her watch my dog again.”
“James and Mary are great. Our Copper really like them and he feels very safe with them. We plan to use them for all dog watching ventures in the future. A huge thank you to them both. Cat and Kenny”
“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“The best boarding experience our dog has ever had! She has been quite anxious when we’ve returned from other trips but this time she was just happy to see us, clearly had been well cared-for and loved.”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Lora is always so great with our little guy. Beyond just caring for him, she makes sure he is cuddled and played with, and she gets as much of a kick out of watching him play hide and seek with the other dogs as I do. She sends lots of pics and videos, so we can see how he is doing while we are away. Lora has watched gunnar a few times now and unless she is unavailable, she will always be our first choice for boarding.”
“This was my first time using Heather, and she did not disappoint! She sent me regular updates and pictures which put my mind to ease. My dog had a great “vacation” and came home happy. I will definitely use her again!”
“Lingli was so sweet and attentive the entire stay and was great about sending videos and pictures. My cat was taken care of so well and she's a really great communicator.”
“Ebony did a great job with our Rusty. She sent pictures and videos every day. When he had an upset belly and needed a diet modification, she had no problem making adjustments! Thanks, Ebony!”
“Lydia was fantastic! She welcomed her home to us with her lovely family including her chickens during our meet and greet. We proceeded to boarding 2 nights with her. Her home provided a warm, cozy and energetic vibe for our Poodle who is out going and craves human interaction. Lydia was not familiar with poodle grooming initially but after a quick demonstration and positive feedback she mastered it in no time. I appreciated her attention to detail, ability to communicate throughout the day and her willingness to learn how to care for specific dog breeds. It was a mutual rewarding experience and she even supervised her children doing obedience training with our pup.”
“Theresa was fantastic and we really appreciated her accommodating a last minute booking for Saber. She kept us well informed with daily updates and pictures and was very thorough in understanding the needs of our German Shepherd. I would definitely recommend booking with her and would love for her to watch Saber again!”
“Danielle has done a wonderful job of caring for my dog, Hazel. She was very flexible with my schedule changing last minute, and that made things much easier for me. And the most important part - my very anxious dog came back to me happy and relaxed, not at all stressed from her time away. I'd definitely recommend Danielle and will book with her again.”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Another excellent experience with Steven! Our large dog stayed the week and came home happy, well exercised, and clean. We appreciate the updates and are always happy with our dog’s stay!”

“Riley was awesome! She came over a few days before to get the lay of the land and attempt to meet my cat (she hid and I still have no idea where she was hiding). Suzie did eventually warm up to Riley and even sat in the same room as her! I will be using Riley again!”
“Cheryl was an incredible help with a last minute drop-in. She followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure our two small dogs were well cared for. Her prompt responses and photo updates were such a reassuring bonus. Thank you!”
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
“Jason was very punctual and responsible with taking care of our two cats. He always sent us pictures and this was reassuring as we were so far away! We will definitely be using Jason again!”
About: I’ve owned cats for most of my life and have also cared for cats as a pet sitter. I know every cat has their own personality, so I take a patient, gentle approach and follow their routine closely. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, affectionate, independent, or older and needs extra care, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with senior cats and some experience administering medication. I pay attention to details like appetite, water, litter box habits, energy, and behavior, and I’ll send regular updates so you know your cat is cared for and doing well.
“First of all, the wife and I want to extend our thanks for agreeing to the booking with such a short turnaround time. This was a complicated set of drop-in visits, and Aye did very well. There were four cats to juggle: one senior who was fussy with both pills and diet, one cat prone to scarf and barf. Additionally, there were both automated and analog litter boxes, feeders, and water fountains . . . all that had to be maintained. Aye was kind enough to alert me to problems as they arose and implement solutions on the fly. It was a great deal to shove into two 30 minute visits a day . . . yet she still managed to send us copious pictures of our crew during our absence.”
About: I have always loved dogs and have helped friends and family with dog-sitting whenever needed. I have been a pet parent for over 5 years and am very empathetic to their needs and wants. I currently work 6am-2:30pm Monday-Friday. But I can do walks anytime outside of those hours. As long as you're ok that I wouldn't be there 100% of the time, I'm open to sitting on weekdays as well as weekends. I currently don't have any pets of me own at the moment, but I love to play and cuddle and make sure their needs are covered as well. Please let me know about any specific safety comcerns, so I can make sure I take the best care possible of your furry friend(s).
“Ryan is such a great person. He was on time in all of his visits. He followed all instructions as I provided. I could not be happier with his service. Highly recommend”
“Kristen is awesome! She took great care of my senior kitty and sent lots of pictures all weekend! Will definitely book with her again in the future and I highly recommend her services.”
About: I have been a cat owner for 5 years and have loved spending every second with my furry feline. I have been cat sitting since I was 10 years old helping out family members and friends. I have experience administering certain medication such as eye drops to cats.
“Casie did a great job taking care of Tabby for the week while we were away. She was super easy to work with and very communicative. Tabby seemed content when we came home and seemed to really like Casie! Casie also did a great job of keeping Tabby's litter box clean. We're so glad we booked with her and would definitely book with her again!”
“While I was out of town for four days, Emma took great care of my anxious cat, Zoey. Zoey had only ever been taken care of by one other person while I've been out of town, but Emma made her feel comfortable and cared for from the very first visit. Emma was communicative and responsive, and provided helpful feedback about Zoey's mood, energy, and appetite. I highly recommend Emma (and I think Zoey would agree)!”
“Samantha was responsive and did a good job taking care of our shy cats. She made sure they were fed and the litter boxes were kept clean. She provided pictures of their food & water bowls during her visits because the cats were in hiding when she came by, as expected. I would definitely contact Samantha again if we need kitty care.”
“I can't say enough good things about Ember! She was fantastic. We had her housesit and watch our kitty for a week, and Ember's daily updates and photos put me at ease knowing my "little girl" was doing just fine. Plus, her sense of humer had me laughing and several of the updates. Our kitty likes to go outside during the day, so I slept well knowing she was safe and sound inside each night. Ember went above and beyond by keeping our house clean and even washing sheets and towels before her stay ended. I look forward to booking Ember for our next trip.”
“Lora did a wonderful job sitting for our cat. We were gone for a week and Lora was very flexible, staying over for a couple of nights with day visits as well. She sent daily updates and photos, which we very much appreciated:) Lora spent time with our cat brushing her, making sure she had fresh water, and cleaning her kitty box. I highly recommend her!!!”
About: Hi there! 👋 After taking a two-year break to settle into a new area about an hour away, I’m excited to be reactivating my Rover profile! During that time, my family and I went through some changes — we said goodbye to our two beloved dogs and recently welcomed a playful new puppy who’s now 6 months old. I’m looking forward to socializing him while providing loving, reliable care for other families’ pets - whether you need help with walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or anything in between. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pups. Let’s chat and see how I can help make your days a little easier and your pets a lot happier! I am a stay at home mom and dog mom with a lot of mouths to feed! I am on Rover for not only an income but because I am readily available most days! We would love the opportunity to snuggle your fur babies :) I care for your animals as if they are my own. Love and plenty of play time if that’s what they are into. If they want to be a potato we have plenty of couches!
About: I have been providing cat sitting services for my 2 neighbors since I was 12 years old and have extensive experience managing households with multiple cat. I am comfortable working with all temperaments, including both social and timid cats. My services include feedings, playtime, and all necessary cleanup.
About: Cats hold a very special place in my heart, since allergies in my family prevented me from owning one of my own. I have loved them my entire life, however, and gained experience taking care of them through my friends' pets and my training as a Petco specialist.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Woodleaf
“Lora is such a great sitter, so responsive and knows my dog well. She’s got a great location and even on days where she’s busy she’s often got a helping hand to make sure all dogs are taken care of”
“I have never felt more comfortable with leaving my precious Corgi, Lugnut, than with Jim and Mary. It is evident as soon as you talk to them that they understand your dog is a family member. They are flexible with pick up and drop off times. The best part is they send pictures of the fun times throughout the day. I have used them many times, and are the first people I contact when we need someone to watch our pup. I could not sing their praises enough. Oh, and they have a fenced in back yard with a fence down the middle to create two play areas in case you have a shy dog, like my own. 5 stars isn’t enough to describe the wonderful experiences we’ve had!”
“My Whiskey loves going to Rodney's house. He comes home exhausted from all the running and playing he does with the other dogs. I highly recommend Rodney as a sitter.”
“Lonnie was great! He was so good with our dogs and I felt so comfortable leaving them with him knowing they were in good hands! They had so much fun and didn't even want to leave. We couldn't ask for anyone better for our dogs!”
“Brianna was a joy to work with. We dropped our pup off in the morning and we were sent photos and updates which was wonderful. I strongly recommend Brianna if you’re looking for an engaged and thoughtful dog sitter. 10/10!”
“Lydia Is an awesome sitter! My dog Bennett absolutely thrives there, she takes him on little adventures he plays outside it’s wonderful! I would highly recommend her! She also sends pictures all the time which I adore!”
“Jacqueline was amazing with my dog, Honey, this weekend! She took such great care of her and kept me updated with excellent communication throughout the stay. I truly appreciated the attention and love she showed Honey. I would absolutely recommend booking with her—she’s reliable, caring, and made the whole experience stress-free. Will definitely book again!”
“Our Boston Terrier had another great experience with Amber. She is incredibly attentive and caring. I felt at ease knowing my pet was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Amber to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate care for their beloved pets.”
“Victoria is amazing!! My regular daycare for Lilly was all booked up for spring break and I was stressed about finding an alternative, but it turns out I am so happy 😀 they were fully booked because we met Victoria and Duchess and we are just so impressed with her care. Multiple walks per day, lots of fetch and cuddles, and she even gifted us some super cute dog cookies in the shape of a corgi at the end of the week!! Victoria is super reliable and provides super timely communication and updates. I went right ahead and rebooked for next month when I’ll be out of town. She and Duchess get along soooo well and do everything together and are best friends. When I drop her off before work, Lilly’s butt and tail don’t lie!! She gets so excited when she sees Victoria and knows she’s in for a day of love and attention and belly rubs :) hands down Victoria is one of the best sitters EVER and you’ll know your pup will have a happy time with her and Duchess!! We will be repeat customers!”
“Megan was so helpful and welcoming, she has a great space for dogs and a wonderful family. She was very attentive to what my dog needed and always gave updates throughout the day. I’ll definitely be coming back so my dog can have fun with her and her family”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Terry is truly an exceptional dog sitter, and I can’t recommend him enough. He went above and beyond for me when Mellow’s daycare/boarding unexpectedly ran out of room. Terry immediately stepped in and picked Mellow up without hesitation. That kind of reliability and care means everything to a dog parent. Mellow absolutely loves going to Terry’s home for doggie daycare. He gets so excited the moment he realizes where he’s headed, which says it all. Terry is patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs in his care. He was also incredibly understanding and flexible during my holiday travel when flight delays forced me to extend Mellow’s stay. Instead of stress, I felt nothing but reassurance knowing Mellow was safe, happy, and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and truly amazing with dogs, Terry is the one. 🐾💙”

She was consistently responsive over messages, and was very sweet to our small dog, Gary, during their meet and greet, gently letting him get used to her. He was excited to see her again when we returned for drop off a couple days later. We appreciated the photos of his stay and know he was well looked after.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years and have 2 dogs of my own. I’ve rescued stray dogs off the street before and put them in a safe environment. I was once very active in helping animal shelter. A close friend of mine is a Veterinarian and had asked me to dog sit for her when she traveled, it was a pleasure to handle 5 dogs at a time at her house. I enjoy taking walks in nature with dogs. I can also take care of chickens, horse, rabbits, hamsters, and fish when you are away. I have plenty of time to play with your dog and take them on walks. My schedule is open daily and weekly routine as well once established. I love to give dog treats and play ball with them. Taking them on long walks. I can also give them a lot of petting for attention. I will take pictures for updates on their activity.
“Would definitely recommend and choose Cheryl again! She walked and played with our high energy, 1 year old border heeler while we were away. We were at ease knowing he was with someone who could handle all of his wildness. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day.

I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.
“Above and beyond. While my girl Gemma was ready for her walk, my puppy Nico was very apprehensive it came time. Mike was super patient and understanding, taking extra time to win Nico over. This guy is who you want walking your anxious and nervous puppies! Definitely recommend, booking future walks now :)”
“Julian has been very easy to communicate with, he responds quickly to messages and sent a detailed update right after he walked our dog. Our dog is nervous around new people but warmed up to Julian quickly, he really seems to love animals”
“Aye has been an absolute joy! Max took to her right away and my Mom spoke fondly of her. She was a little concerned with going this route when we had to find a substitute for our usual walker but she beamed over the phone when telling me about Aye. Very professional and caring.”
“Casie, is a joy to work with. She is always on time. She is so caring and loving with my puppy. I can tell she really cares. Will definitely continue to use her.”

I gained further training and experience through my employment at Petco as an operations specialist. Pet care has been a part of my daily routine for the entirety of my life. Whether it was making a special dinner for a picky-eater dog that needed medication, taking a rambunctious puppy out into the yard to relieve their energy, or taking multiple dogs out for a walk to make sure they get their exercise, pet care isn't just an addition to my routine, it is an integral structure to it. I have experience taking pets outside both in a yard and out on a leash for a walk. I have experience giving medication to animals of all kinds, as well as transferring animals into and out of crates/carriers.
“My Zeus is so happy with Dimitri that when he arrives he grabs his leash and refuses to let us say hi! We are extremely happy with Dimitri he is on time and communicates very well with any changes or updates. I would highly recommend him just not on my day and time.”
“Ryan was so attentive and went above and beyond for our leash-reactive pup on their twice-daily walks. He made us feel comfortable leaving the country and leaving our dog in someone else’s care.”

About: Hello! I am Camryn F., I am currently a veterinary assistant at a Veterinary Hospital in Frederick and am in veterinary technician school. I have always loved being around any animal/caring for them! I can commute and I am easy to get ahold of! I am so excited to be helping those in need of a responsible and reliable caretaker. I do have pets in my home, but they are loving and open to meeting new animals as long as the feeling is mutual between the animals as far as drop offs. Although I may only have 5 years of professional experience I have years of personal experience as I have owned various animals throughout my life time! I look forward to getting to know you and your animal and helping you in any way possible! Thank you I do work full time, and a couple days a week I do have long hours. I have every other weekend off as well as Thursdays. Saturday I have a half day and every Sunday is guaranteed off. I also have major Holidays off. I have many pets of my own at home and often find myself feeding them and caring for them before myself most days! Some may call that crazy, but it’s just the way I roll! I love all animals big and small :)
About: My name is Lora, I have over 22 years in pet sitting/pet care business. I treat each pet with tender loving care, as if they were part of my own family. I grew up with pets and have experience with all ages. I started pet sitting after our pets passed away. Caring for other people’s pets fills my love tank. There is nothing like the feeling of forming a bond with a pet. We have a huge fenced in yard where your pets can run, play, or just take in the scenery. If your pet prefers walks, we also have a super long driveway where they can get in some exercise. Your pet will never be left alone. I are home full time, so frequent play time, potty breaks, and belly rubs are always on our schedule. I provide all my clients with pictures and messages letting them know that their pets are in wonderful hands. One thing we can guarantee is that your pet will be taken care of extremely well so you can have a worry free time away.

I care for your pet as if it was my own. After being around your pet and speaking with the owners you learn what the pet loves. So I try to include those special items in the pets day along with sticking to their regular feed and potty breaks.
About: I have owned dogs all my life all shapes and sizes. I have been trained and volunteer for MDSPCA and the Baltimore Humane Society.

I know as a pet owner myself having your dog with a trusted person is critical. I also have a medical background so I would be ready for any emergency., if it should arise. I have no Problem giving medication to your pet if needed I am recently retired and I am looking forward to devoting my time to caring for dogs. My schedule is very flexible and ready to start.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our puppy dog received from Jena! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. We received daily updates with videos and pictures, which were such a comforting touch and really showed how much fun he was having. It was clear he was being treated like one of the family. When he came home, he was happy, healthy—and completely exhausted from all the playtime and attention! We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring sitter. Highly recommend!”
“James and Mary are great. Our Copper really like them and he feels very safe with them. We plan to use them for all dog watching ventures in the future. A huge thank you to them both. Cat and Kenny”
“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“Lora is always so great with our little guy. Beyond just caring for him, she makes sure he is cuddled and played with, and she gets as much of a kick out of watching him play hide and seek with the other dogs as I do. She sends lots of pics and videos, so we can see how he is doing while we are away. Lora has watched gunnar a few times now and unless she is unavailable, she will always be our first choice for boarding.”
“This was my first time using Heather, and she did not disappoint! She sent me regular updates and pictures which put my mind to ease. My dog had a great “vacation” and came home happy. I will definitely use her again!”
“Lydia was fantastic! She welcomed her home to us with her lovely family including her chickens during our meet and greet. We proceeded to boarding 2 nights with her. Her home provided a warm, cozy and energetic vibe for our Poodle who is out going and craves human interaction. Lydia was not familiar with poodle grooming initially but after a quick demonstration and positive feedback she mastered it in no time. I appreciated her attention to detail, ability to communicate throughout the day and her willingness to learn how to care for specific dog breeds. It was a mutual rewarding experience and she even supervised her children doing obedience training with our pup.”
“Theresa was fantastic and we really appreciated her accommodating a last minute booking for Saber. She kept us well informed with daily updates and pictures and was very thorough in understanding the needs of our German Shepherd. I would definitely recommend booking with her and would love for her to watch Saber again!”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Another excellent experience with Steven! Our large dog stayed the week and came home happy, well exercised, and clean. We appreciate the updates and are always happy with our dog’s stay!”
“Thank you so much, Terry, for taking such wonderful care of our puppy. I was so nervous to leave her for the first time and you sending pictures and updating me throughout her time with you was so wonderful. I know she had a great time hanging out at your beautiful house with your big back yard. Thank you so much for everything and Tilly looks forward to seeing you again in the future!”
“Jon and Mary took great care of our Faye. We haven't left our puppy with anyone before so we were very nervous. They put us at ease by talking to us for a while about their rover experience. They have two adorable, friendly, fun loving labs that played with our little Faye. Their family all pitched in to keep Faye happy and active. We will definitely be using Jon and Mary again. Highly recomend!”
“Nicole and her family were amazing. I received a constant flow of updates and pictures. It was just a relief to know that my puppy was in such great hands.”
“Megan was amazing! She set up a meet and greet to make sure everyone was comfortable and from drop off to pick up was very communicative! I will definitely be using Megan again and would recommend her sweet family to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Karen was a delight from our first meet and greet throughout the process. We were completely confident in her ability to care for our large dog. She was attentive and thoughtful in asking questions regarding his care. We appreciated all the photos and communication while he was at her home. She gave him tons of attention from walks to belly rubs and snuggles. We would recommend her without reservation and look forward to booking with her again!”
“Virginia and Steven were awesome. They took care of Palmer like she was one of their own. Palmer came home exhausted and she is looking forward to her next trip!”
“Deanna & Family were wonderful Hosts to our big energetic lab. Their home, yard & location lends itself to be the perfect home away from home for your best fur friend. Communication was on point, pictures & updates were received. Highest of recommendations to Deanna & Family.”
