“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Dog Sitters Above and Beyond! I’m beyond grateful for the incredible care gave to my dog, Enzo. They treated him like one of their own took him on a few walks, playing with him and their sweet dog, and making sure he felt completely at home. It’s rare to find people who not only care for your pet but also go out of their way to make the experience special for both dog and owner. Enzo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust them again and recommend them to anyone looking for warm, responsible, and genuinely kind dog sitters. Thank you for being so wonderful to Enzo and to us!”
“Young was great with my pup. He updated us throughout her stay with texts and pics. He is very attentive to all the dogs there making sure they are all having fun and getting along. Would definitely recommend him!”
“Gina and Erik were amazing! I could tell right away they were very loving people and my dog would be comfortable there. They sent me pictures and an update daily which I really appreciated. Deuce, my dog didn't even want to leave when I came to pick him up! I know he had a great time and would highly recommend Gina and Erik! Thank you both so much!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Laura! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in caring and capable hands. When we picked him up, it was clear how happy and well cared for he had been—his tail was wagging, he was calm, and honestly, he seemed like he had just returned from his own little vacation! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Thank you, Laura, for taking such great care of our pup. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!”
“Susan took great care of our two pups! She sent lots of pics while we were out of town and was super easy to communicate with. Our pups received lots of love and attention from Susan and her family. Definitely recommend!!”
“Thank you for working so well with me and minco. Sorry we had to rush out, the kiddo and dog had my hands full. You were wonderful and hope I can rely on you in the future”
“Megan was very responsive and took good care of Willow. She kept us posted on Willow’s whereabouts and sent us pictures. It’s reassuring to know our baby is in good hands. I would highly recommend Megan to take care of your pets when you are away. Thanks Megan!!”
“I am so happy with the care Sarge received!! He’s little and old and I was nervous to leave him, but Kristin was kind and accommodating of his picky eating habits, and sent lovely updates. Absolutely will look to them again for our next trip!!!”
“Kendra was so great! We had a quick overnight trip as we were traveling through town and she was so easy to work with. She sent pictures to update us and we could tell our dog was SO comfortable with her. We will definitely reach to Kendra again next time we travel through.”
“Melissa is the best host for my dog Euler. He loved it there, and is bestie with her own dog. It feels like we’re giving him a treat by letting him stay with her”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and each one has meant the world to me. I promise to give that same love and care to your pets! I work from home, so I am pretty available and flexible. I’m happy to do daily walks and open to a repeating schedule, or just a one time event! I am very easy going when house sitting. A detailed note is all I need, and you can expect to receive plenty of photos of your pet(s). I have two cats in my home that are used to having dogs around! We can discuss boarding in my home if needed.
“Ron is an excellent caretaker for our senior dog. Otto runs excitedly to his door as soon as we get out of the car. Thank you for taking the best care of Otto while we are away. We appreciate your continued support.”
“Anne and her husband went above and beyond while caring for my 2 dogs!! My oldest dog is 15, and he had some stomach issues while I was away (which isn’t out of the norm for him), and they kept me up to date on his condition, and even offered to take him to an emergency vet for me. Luckily he was feeling much better the next day, but they are truly wonderful people who deeply care about the dogs they watch.”
“I’ll be honest, Chelsea didn’t have a ton of reviews when I first reached out, so I was a little hesitant at first, especially since our previous dog sitter moved away and Blue is truly our baby. I’m so grateful I decided to take a chance because Chelsea was absolutely wonderful. From the beginning, she was kind, communicative, and very flexible, which immediately made me feel at ease. Throughout our week-long vacation, she sent regular updates and photos that meant so much to me and made it easy to relax knowing Blue was happy and well cared for. He settled in so naturally that it felt like he was staying with family, not just a sitter. Coming home to a happy, calm dog confirmed everything. It was clear she treated him with so much love and attention. Chelsea is someone who genuinely cares about animals and takes great pride in what she does. I felt incredibly safe leaving Blue in her care and would not hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust and feel confident with.”
“I just got peaches about a month ago and was afraid to leave her. Sadie was great. She kept her busy having fun with other dogs and kept her routine for feeding sleep per my request. Peaches seemed very calm with her. Thank you Sadie.”
“Tianyu X. has been an absolutely wonderful Rover sitter for our dog, Scout. From the start, Tianyu was kind, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to get to know Scout and treated her like she was her own pup. We loved that Tianyu safely introduced Scout to other small-breed dogs, giving her positive socialization and playtime. She also brushed Scout, took her on regular walks, and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. It was such a comfort knowing Scout was not only cared for, but truly loved. We received great updates and could tell Scout was having a fantastic time. We highly recommend Tianyu to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Patty and Randy provided an excellent boarding experience for our dog Cookie! We had no hesitations from the moment we dropped Cookie off and saw how excited she was to see Patty and Randy's dogs who she had met the week before for a meet and greet. During Cookie's stay we were so happy to receive videos and pictures which confirmed that she was having a great time. Patty also reached out during Cookie's stay to ask us some questions to ensure she understood Cookie's habits and needs. We are so happy to have found Patty and Randy to board Cookie and thank them, BellaMae, Bizu, and Bindi Lou for the time, attention, and fun play they provided Cookie to ensure she felt secure, relaxed, and happy during her visit. It is so appreciated!!”
“Lisa was amazing with sending us consistent updates of our Lucy! It made us feel very comfortable and confident that she was having a great time. Would definitely book again!”

I am flexible and willing to learn new techniques if given the chance.
About: I cat-sitted for 2 years at my old condo in Bethesda Maryland, dropping in to care for, play, feed and change out the litter for three of my neighbors' cats. I also owned a beautiful rescue tuxedo cat for 2 years during and after college who I absolutely adored.
“Rachel was amazing! I was hesitant to get a cat sitter because Onyx is a bit anti social, but Rachel did a wonderful job checking in on him and making sure he had everything he needed. It put my mind at ease on vacation and would 10/10 request her help again. Thank you for caring for my cat and giving me updates on him.”

About: With 9 years of pet care experience, I offer personalized attention that truly sets me apart. I specialize in gentle, patient care for puppies and provide compassionate, tailored support for senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. My dedication to understanding each pet’s unique needs means they receive more than just basic care—they get a loving and attentive companion while you’re away. This commitment makes me a trusted and reliable choice for pet owners seeking exceptional care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine by dedicating specific times for feeding, walking, play, and rest. I prioritize consistency to ensure pets feel secure and loved every day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I balance their needs with my schedule to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the week. This routine flexibility allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique habits and health requirements, making sure they always receive the attention they deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment whether caring for pets in my home or yours. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, keep spaces clean and secure, and maintain open communication with clients. In my home, pets have a calm, supervised area to relax and play, while at clients’ homes, I respect their space and ensure all instructions are followed precisely. This flexible approach ensures every pet feels safe and loved, no matter the setting or service provided.
About: I have hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, where I learned safe handling, medication administration, basic first aid, and how to keep pets calm in new or stressful situations. That background helps me confidently care for puppies, seniors, pets with medical needs, and shy or nervous animals. Outside of clinical work, I’ve grown up caring for family pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive — whether your pet needs enrichment and long walks, or quiet cuddles and routine comfort. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to match your pet’s routine — whether that means early walks, midday visits, or cozy evenings at home. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and the same level of care I’d want for my own. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I follow their established routines — feeding schedules, walks, training cues, boundaries, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secured, and I always keep a close eye during outdoor time or new environments. At my home, pets have a calm, clean space where they can relax, play, or cuddle depending on their energy and personality. I’m attentive during introductions, supervise closely, and provide plenty of enrichment, exercise, and affection. Whether your pet needs structure and long walks or quiet time and a soft place to nap, I’m committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable.
About: I have 3 years of professional experience working in dog daycare and boarding facilities, along with many years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs — both big and small. What sets me apart is my understanding of dog behavior and emotional needs, especially with reactive, nervous, or anxious dogs. I’m familiar with separation anxiety, leash reactivity, fear-based behaviors, and confidence building. I understand that reactive dogs are not automatically aggressive — they simply need patience, understanding, and proper handling. This is something I connect with personally through my own dog’s journey of overcoming fear and anxiety. Through both professional and personal experience, I’ve developed strong knowledge of dog body language and handling skills. I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once, including large breeds, and I can adapt to different feeding schedules, crate-training routines, and individual care needs. I also have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and care, I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to every pet’s unique personality and needs. I am currently a stay at home dog mom with lots of free time. I understand that life gets crazy suddenly & I am available for same day bookings ! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, triggers, personality, and needs so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and structured environment. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, especially with nervous or reactive pets, and I always prioritize positive interactions and proper handling techniques. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, medication routines, crate-training preferences, exercise needs, and household rules to help maintain consistency for your pet. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away, knowing your fur baby is in good hands.
“Jessica was awesome!!! She was available on short notice, and was great in communicating with us. Sasha was well taken care of and we received daily photos of a happy kitty. Very happy with Jessica's service and professionalism. Thank you much...”
“Danika was an absolute life-saver when our cat ended up going to the emergency vet just a few days before my family and I were going on vacation for a whole week after. As he recovered from his vet visit, he required constant care which involved multiple check-ins a day, monitoring how often he drank water, ate his food, and used the litter box. He also needed to be given 3 different medications on different time schedules, 2 of which required being administered with a syringe in his mouth. Danika was able to do all of this and even texted us updates after each visit to let us know how things were going. Her availability on such short notice along with her attention to detail and genuine love and care for our cat gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our vacation without feeling worried the entire time. I would gladly book her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else needing someone to look after their kitties. Huge props to Danika!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. Starting with walking my neighbors dog. Once I was able to drive I would do overnights with the families dog, that I babysat for. Small dogs, big dogs and even cats. Your little fur baby will be in great hands! I’m currently working full time. I can walk/ drop in Monday -Friday mornings at 7am and I’m available after work at 5:30pm for evening for walks/drop ins. The weekends are more flexible with time for walks and drop ins. I will be needing to pet sit at the location since I cannot have pets in my current house. I have only done pet sitting at the clients houses for the last 16 years. It makes for a better stay, the animals are not overwhelmed and happy to be in their own home.
“Faith took amazing care of my two cats for week while I was out of town. From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. it She sent daily updates and photos, which really helped ease our mind while we were away. Both of our cats warmed up to her quickly and seem super relaxed the entire time! If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and attentive to look after your pets, she’s the right one!”

About: I’m a small-breed dog mom to two friendly Shih Tzus. I’ve trained both of them from puppyhood, so I’m experienced in teaching calm behavior, basic obedience, and creating a well-structured environment for small dogs. I’m happy to reinforce good manners. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance, and we go there every other day for playtime and socializing. Leonard and Taylor are both gentle, well-behaved, and great companions for visiting pups. My home is calm, clean, and ideal for small-breed dogs who enjoy a safe and friendly environment. I’m available full time for boarding on weekends and holidays. On weekdays, my two Shih Tzus—Leonard (born April 2024) and Taylor (born March 2025)—stay home from about 10am to 6pm. They are used to a calm routine and do very well together. If your dog is comfortable being without a human for part of the day, weekday boarding can also work. I live in a house with a fenced backyard and a fenced small-breed dog park within walking distance. We go there every other day for playtime and sniff walks. Both Leonard and Taylor are friendly, gentle Shih Tzus who make great company for visiting small dogs. My home is clean, safe, and perfect for small breeds. I also have both small and medium crates available if you prefer your dog crated.

About: I have owned and trained dogs of all ages. I currently have a 5 yr old purebred yellow lab who is a service dog. I have experience with behavior challenges and dogs with medical needs.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of providing reliable, loving pet care for over 15 years. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. From daily walks and feeding routines to overnight stays and special care for senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention while they’re away. My long-term clients appreciate my dependability, communication, and the calm, caring environment I provide for their furry family members. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays vary, but generally after 2pm I have a fenced backyard with plenty of grass, one very friendly dog to keep yours company, and two dog kennels to crate if needed.
“Patty & Randy were perfect dog sitters for Beckham. They couldn't have been more welcoming. Beckham is usually a little shy, but he adapted quickly to their beautiful environment and their other three small dogs. We look forward to using their services again. It was a comfort to know he was in loving hands.”

About: Worked closely with dogs and cats in a general practice veterinary clinic, developing a strong understanding of animal behavior, body language, and overall welfare.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician, along with hands-on experience volunteering at animal shelters. I also grew up helping my mom run her dog boarding business, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the special bond we share with our pets. Growing up with both cats and dogs, and having been a dedicated cat owner for the past 30 years, my life has always been enriched by furry companions. I know firsthand the mix of excitement and worry that comes with leaving your beloved pets when you travel, as I feel it every time I'm away from my own. Because of this, I've come to rely on and deeply appreciate the services of amazing pet sitters on Rover, and I've loved the comfort they have provided me. I would now love the opportunity to offer that same peace of mind to you. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that allows your pets to feel safe and loved in their own environment, giving you the freedom to travel without a single worry. I currently take care of my sisters 4 dogs when she is traveling but would want to get to know a pack larger than 2 before agreeing to care for them multiple days to make sure they are comfortable with me and I am able to manage all of their needs. Currently, I am in a period of career transition, which provides me with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to be incredibly adaptable and available to your pets' specific needs, whether that means multiple visits a day, extended stays, or last-minute requests. I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine, ensuring your furry family members receive the consistent attention and care they deserve. I currently have 2 senior cats (Ollie & Georgie) who are not particularly fond of other pets in their space so I would lean towards caring for pets in your home or taking them for walks. Where ever I am I respect the property and would follow any suggestions or guidance you provide. I will treat your pets and property as if it was my own.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Dog Sitters Above and Beyond! I’m beyond grateful for the incredible care gave to my dog, Enzo. They treated him like one of their own took him on a few walks, playing with him and their sweet dog, and making sure he felt completely at home. It’s rare to find people who not only care for your pet but also go out of their way to make the experience special for both dog and owner. Enzo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust them again and recommend them to anyone looking for warm, responsible, and genuinely kind dog sitters. Thank you for being so wonderful to Enzo and to us!”
“Gina and Erik were amazing! I could tell right away they were very loving people and my dog would be comfortable there. They sent me pictures and an update daily which I really appreciated. Deuce, my dog didn't even want to leave when I came to pick him up! I know he had a great time and would highly recommend Gina and Erik! Thank you both so much!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and each one has meant the world to me. I promise to give that same love and care to your pets! I work from home, so I am pretty available and flexible. I’m happy to do daily walks and open to a repeating schedule, or just a one time event! I am very easy going when house sitting. A detailed note is all I need, and you can expect to receive plenty of photos of your pet(s). I have two cats in my home that are used to having dogs around! We can discuss boarding in my home if needed.
