“I recently had the pleasure of working with Tina to take care of my dog, Leo. I cannot recommend Tina highly enough - they truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy, healthy, and well-cared for while I was away. Overall, my experience with Tina was outstanding, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and compassionate pet-sitter. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my dog - we both appreciate it more than words can say”

“Huck had such a great time! Communication was great and we loved the picture updates. Definitely felt at ease having our boy with Sarah. Already looking at our calendar for his next stay with her!”

“Renee was an amazing sitter!! My pup can be both a little shy and very energetic but she did a great job taking care of him. She was always friendly and prompt in her communication and I’d trust her with any dog!”

“Brittney took such great care of Pluto. Being new to the area and in need of someone to look after Pluto she helped me feel at ease. She sent me updates and pics throughout his stay. I will definitely being him back. He had such a good time.”

“Emily was great and handled our 100 pound Doberman effortlessly. I never felt so comfortable going out of town. Our Doberman Zeus is cautious of new people and immediately loved Emily. She took him on long walks everyday and sent pictures. We will definitely be boarding him again with Emily.”

“This was our second time having John and Jess watch our pup! They are the best sitters by far!! They sent multiple videos and photos throughout the day where we saw our dog having so much fun. We went camping for a few days without reception and I had zero worries that they were taking great care of our pup. When we got spots of reception, they were very quick to check in and it was so relieving to have lots of videos and updates waiting for us. Chance LOVES them and their puppies so much! He was so excited to see them again. He can’t wait for his next vacation stay with John and Jess!”

“Belle had a great time at Charlie’s! Charlie sent pictures and videos throughout Belles stay, which we loved! He has a fantastic fenced yard for running and playing. ❤️”

“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!”

“Jesse was wonderful! She took such great care of our dog, Lilah, and provided plenty of picture updates every day! 10/10 would recommend Jesse! Will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“We booked her at the last minute and she was very flexible and helpful! She and her family took really good care of our pup. We loved the photos that she sent us of our dog playing.”

About: I grew up with cats, dogs and horses, and have been taking care of them since I was 10 years old. I have my own lab mix and a cat. I make sure that the animals I watch are well cared for, safe, fed, entertained, and exercised. I love all animals and really enjoy working with them. I am available anytime to watch pets in my home. I do work some evenings for up to 4 hours and weekends for up to 6 hours. At my home I have one dog and a cat that will be able to keep your pet company. My pets get along very well with other animals. I have a yard, a large field across the street, and a dog park near by I can take dogs to if allowed.

“Christina and her family were wonderful with Gracie! I received pictures every day. Gracie loves walks and kids and she got both! I would definitely schedule again and highly recommend Christina to lovingly take care of your pet.”

“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”

“Daniel was fantastic with our dog, Moki. We were out of the country for 2 weeks, and not only was his long term price the best in the area, but his service was by far the best as well. He sent frequent photos and updates, and his updates were the most detailed and most fun that we have received from any sitter since we started using Rover more than two years ago. Icing on the cake: he offers additional services through Rover. We were able to add on a doggy bath and nail trim so that when we picked Moki up, she was nice and clean. Five-star experience all around, and we'll definitely use Daniel again! Thank you!!!”

“Lejune always treats our boy like he's her own. We never have any worries, and he loves playing with her son and their pupper. She's worth every penny. She noticed Rowan had itchy paws and got him some meds, played in the kiddy pool, and sent great updates and photos. We dont use anyone else.”

“Carmen and her husband were exceptional caretakers of our pup, are incredibly nice, and were very communicative and flexible. Since they have a fenced-in yard, it made for a great environment for our pup’s extended stay. I would 100% recommend them.”

“Poncho kitty and I are very grateful to have found Linda through Rover! She is kind, dependable, and trustworthy. I can tell my (often sensitive) boy was very comfortable when she visited with him while we were away. Linda sent pictures and was easy to communicate with during the whole process. Thank you, Linda!”


“Caitlyn was amazing! She was friendly, prompt, and communicative. Our fur babies fell in love with her and looked forward to her daily visits. She administered insulin to our diabetic kitty with ease and made sure to send us daily photos with updates. She and her partner will absolutely be our go-to pet sitters!”

“Jessica and her daughter are a wonderful team! We had an unexpected last minute trip and she was able to come out and meet us straight away. They both came to care for our 3 cats and 2 guinea pigs. When one cat wouldn't eat, she texted right away and worked with us to get her fed separately. They played with our babies, took care of all the feeding and cleaning, and left our house spotless - even cleaning the animals food bowls! I highly recommend Jessica for your pet sitting needs. Thank you both for taking such great care of our babies!”

“Jasmine has been wonderful. She does all the things that a Rover sitter is supposed to do. She loves my dog and two cats. She takes cute pics of them. She's on time. She's reliable. She's trustworthy.”

“Milena was fantastic with our cat! She’s very gentle and let him get used to her on his own time. She was great with updates each day and sending pictures. We’re looking forward to having her look after him in the future!”

“Excellent experience. My cat, snake, and fish were well taken care of. Especially happy that he was able to build a rapport while giving my cat her daily meds. Good communication and no issues.”

About: I have taken care of cats for years and absolutely love them! I’ve mostly cat sit for friends and neighbors. The only thing I would be uncomfortable with cats is giving them medicine.

“Amanda was beyond amazing! She took great care of our pup, took him for a couple of walks and played with him in our yard. Our pup Buckley truly enjoyed his time with Amanda and highly recommend her to take care of fur animals! We will for sure be booking again in the future with her.”


About: I’ve pet sat for many cats over the years, along with having two cats of my own. I’m comfortable giving medications and cleaning litter boxes. My own cat is special needs so I’m not a stranger to getting creative in order to give medication.

“Wow wow wow, I cannot say enough great things about Kaylee!!! We asked her to house sit for a very big trip, and I knew we were asking a lot, but she truly delivered and was everything we could want in a cat and house sitter, and more!! She sent us text, photo, and video updates along the way, and was great at communicating with us. She was extremely patient with our shy cat, and also with our very sassy little cat! In the end, she ended up befriending the little one and gaining her trust, which was so sweet! She also left our house in immaculate condition, which was impressive given how long she stayed. We will definitely be using her services again, and would highly recommend her to anyone!”


About: I have 2 senior cats and have had cats all my life. I am sensitive to the needs and body language of cats, and I can care for cats with many different energy and affection levels. I know cats can be picky, and I don't mind following specific directions. Also, I am going to volunteer soon at my local shelter for cat socialization :).

“Kristen took great care of our cats while we traveled. She provided detailed daily updates and timely communication to let us know that the kitties are doing well. We returned to find our cats safe, happy, well-fed, and everything nice and tidy. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I've been taking care of my own animals my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and family started hiring me for pet care when I was still in high school. I love the stark difference in pet personalities and learning how each of them likes to be cared for. Examples of my past & present clientele: - A family with 7 chihuahuas of varying ages and levels of crazy - A brand new hyperactive Bernedoodle puppy whom I still care for regularly (she's 4 now!) - A sweet lab who liked long, slow walks and bananas - A moody cat who could not care less about me (I have slowly earned the blessing of giving head pats to them now) - A tortoise who inspires me to slow down and eat more greens *my home is a safe space for people and pets from all walks of life* I am available for early morning or evening walks and drop-ins during the week. I am available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday unless I have a family or social event. However, I am always open to working around my schedule and offering as much flexibility as I can - just shoot me a message! We have a large back porch and yard with a fenced area for sniffing around. If your pet requires extra exercise, we have a quiet neighborhood to walk around in. We have a dog bed in almost every room, space for you to bring a crate, or an area that can be closed off overnight if necessary or requested. There are few places in the house that the dogs don't have access to out of an abundance of safety. Otherwise, they are welcome to make themselves at home! If I care for an animal in your home, I will let you and your pet take the lead!

During the summer, I am home most days of the week. I am a full time teacher so I am off during the summer. Therefore I am very reliable and flexible with times.

Animals have full access to my house unless they have restrictions that would prevent that such as not allowed on furniture in clients home or eats things then they would for their safety be prevented from those areas. I am very respectful of others and following rules so if I would need to be in your home rest assured your home and fur baby would be in good hands.
“We were so lucky to have Ellen watch our dog, Ziva! She has separation anxiety, and we were nervous about leaving her with someone new in a new environment. Ellen was so reassuring from the start, promising to take good care of her. And she absolutely did. Her sweet dog, Cleopatra, was so friendly and helped Ziva feel comfortable right away. Our first impression was unforgettable- Ziva followed Ellen, which is rare for her with someone she doesn’t know. Ellen took extra care to comfort Ziva when she was anxious and sent us picture updates that really put our minds at ease. Because of Ellen, we were able to enjoy our event without constantly checking our phones. This was such a relief, especially since we’ve had a bad experience with a previous sitter who never sent updates. Ellen went above and beyond, and we could truly feel the difference in Ziva’s comfort. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Ellen, for caring for Ziva like she was your own!”

“I was nervous because I've never used this app or left my dog with anyone. Charlie made me feel super comfortable. He showed me the space, showed that he had read her profile, and took such good care of her. She had ample space and friends to run and play with, but Charlie also gave her cuddles when she started to get anxious, which I truly appreciate.”

“Rosa did an excellent job taking care of my boy, she took him outside on plenty of walks, fed him the exact right amount, and sent me pictures throughout the day! I would highly recommend her to anybody who needs care for their pet.”

“Sam was great! Greeted us on arrival and Arthur immediately bonded with her. Sent us photos during the day and he had a relaxing day. We would definitely have her watch Arthur if we were in the Gettysburg area again. Thanks Sam!!”

“Sandra was fantastic, super helpful for my puppy to be able to stay with her and play while I had a weeks worth of training for work all day! Definitely would book with her again!”

“So glad I found Renee, I was recommended to her by two people. My puppy has not been away from us since we got her and I was nervous leaving her. Renee made sure to give her space so she can figure it out. My puppy was shy at first but then started making friends. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

About: Growing up, learning to take care of different kinds of animals was encouraged. From guinea pigs to horses, I have seen it all. Now living on my own, and having a dog and cat of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your animals. I have experience giving a wide variety of medication to both dogs and cats. I do my best to follow any schedule or instructions given by parents and to communicate as much as possible throughout the stay! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I do have a dog and a cat of my own that I will need to stop to check in on during the day, but I do have someone who can stay with them during the night if you do need overnight sitting. I currently only offer pet sitting in the client’s home. I do my best to follow all rules and instructions given, I do prefer any specifics (feeding amounts, any medications, etc.) to be written down just so I can reference back if I need!
About: I’ve had experience with Dogs and Cats basically my entire life, but took over caring for my childhood pets as they aged! Now I’m a pittie mom x2 with my boyfriend! I’m a college student currently, and work 3 days a week on breaks, so I have a pretty open schedule to fit various availability needs! To me, our pets are our family. I see my own as children and I dote on them and love them as such. Big or small, dogs or cats. I love them all.

“Kaylee was very responsive to my messages and very accommodating of my request to schedule a meet and greet on short notice ahead of our booking. She interacted sweetly and patiently with my very excited pup. She showed up on time for the booking and followed all instructions given. I hope to be able to call on her for help again in the future!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, starting in middle school and continuing through college and grad school. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and caring for both dogs and cats. While in school, I regularly pet sat for families in Pennsylvania and built lasting relationships through reliable, attentive care. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and sizes—including dogs with health issues who require medication, special routines, or extra attention. What sets me apart is my lifelong connection to animals. I grew up in a home with pets throughout my childhood—including 4 dogs (labs and pointers), 6 cats, and 10 bunnies—so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love making animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. I recently started a full-time role, but the great news is I only work three days a week! That means I still have plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent care for your pets while you're away or at work. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests—I’d love to help! I take safety and trust seriously and always aim to make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and comfort, which I know is especially important for animals who may get anxious in unfamiliar environments. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, or playtime preferences—and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: Having the background of being raised on a farm has given me an innate love for animals. I have become a go to person for my friends and family in the city with not only dogs, but farm animals as well (cows, goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits etc.). I have experience with injured and ill animals as well in care taking. I am able to follow dietary restrictions and diets in general as well. Pets, cuddles and walks are no problem of course! :) I currently work from home (Thurmont, M-F 8-5) so I am very flexible with me being in home for either a whole work day, half day or drop ins (if close by). I cannot board in home. I am able to follow the direction of your pets care. Food schedules/diets, crating, walks etc. I keep every pets area clean and tidy so they feel as comfortable as possible. I simply ask for communication ahead of time in expecations.
About: I am a Psychology and Social Work student in my masters and I love animals. I specialize in animals who are seniors, or have special needs.

I have also cared for parrots and chickens. I am responsible, detail oriented, and patient. Meaning you can give me very detailed instructions and l will read and follow them even if you think they’re silly ;). I currently work as a care giver during the day on weekends part-time.

Right now, Mondays and Thursdays I am completely available! In the evenings and nights as well as mornings before 9am I am also available every day. I will feed, walk, and play with your dog or cat depending on what activities they enjoy. I like to take long walks and I don't mind taking animals with me for a ride or to the park. I will follow instructions exactly. I will give snuggles, baths, and clean up messes as well if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid, and I have experience with taking care of many different breeds, young and old. I love animals and will do everything I can to make yours comfortable and happy. Work is currently slow, so I have the time to give your pets all the attention they need. I am available anytime throughout the week and most weekends. I have two friendly dogs that would love to keep yours company. I do not have a fenced yard, but walk them on my private lane often, and take them to the dog park. My pets get fed twice a day, but I can feed yours as often as you’d like - they also have some treat throughout the day.
“Kathryn was wonderful my dog Kacey liked her and she enjoyed her walks every afternoon with her. I know she’s going to miss her. And I appreciate all what Kathryn did for my dog, and she was very friendly professional, kind, and caring to my dog. I will be having her take care of my dog Kacey in the future.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Tina to take care of my dog, Leo. I cannot recommend Tina highly enough - they truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy, healthy, and well-cared for while I was away. Overall, my experience with Tina was outstanding, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and compassionate pet-sitter. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my dog - we both appreciate it more than words can say”

“Huck had such a great time! Communication was great and we loved the picture updates. Definitely felt at ease having our boy with Sarah. Already looking at our calendar for his next stay with her!”

“Renee was an amazing sitter!! My pup can be both a little shy and very energetic but she did a great job taking care of him. She was always friendly and prompt in her communication and I’d trust her with any dog!”

“Brittney took such great care of Pluto. Being new to the area and in need of someone to look after Pluto she helped me feel at ease. She sent me updates and pics throughout his stay. I will definitely being him back. He had such a good time.”

“Emily was great and handled our 100 pound Doberman effortlessly. I never felt so comfortable going out of town. Our Doberman Zeus is cautious of new people and immediately loved Emily. She took him on long walks everyday and sent pictures. We will definitely be boarding him again with Emily.”

“Belle had a great time at Charlie’s! Charlie sent pictures and videos throughout Belles stay, which we loved! He has a fantastic fenced yard for running and playing. ❤️”

“Jesse was wonderful! She took such great care of our dog, Lilah, and provided plenty of picture updates every day! 10/10 would recommend Jesse! Will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“We booked her at the last minute and she was very flexible and helpful! She and her family took really good care of our pup. We loved the photos that she sent us of our dog playing.”

About: I grew up with cats, dogs and horses, and have been taking care of them since I was 10 years old. I have my own lab mix and a cat. I make sure that the animals I watch are well cared for, safe, fed, entertained, and exercised. I love all animals and really enjoy working with them. I am available anytime to watch pets in my home. I do work some evenings for up to 4 hours and weekends for up to 6 hours. At my home I have one dog and a cat that will be able to keep your pet company. My pets get along very well with other animals. I have a yard, a large field across the street, and a dog park near by I can take dogs to if allowed.

“Christina and her family were wonderful with Gracie! I received pictures every day. Gracie loves walks and kids and she got both! I would definitely schedule again and highly recommend Christina to lovingly take care of your pet.”

“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”

“Daniel was fantastic with our dog, Moki. We were out of the country for 2 weeks, and not only was his long term price the best in the area, but his service was by far the best as well. He sent frequent photos and updates, and his updates were the most detailed and most fun that we have received from any sitter since we started using Rover more than two years ago. Icing on the cake: he offers additional services through Rover. We were able to add on a doggy bath and nail trim so that when we picked Moki up, she was nice and clean. Five-star experience all around, and we'll definitely use Daniel again! Thank you!!!”

“Carmen and her husband were exceptional caretakers of our pup, are incredibly nice, and were very communicative and flexible. Since they have a fenced-in yard, it made for a great environment for our pup’s extended stay. I would 100% recommend them.”


“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”


“Matt was super easy to work with and took good care of our Aussie, who was hesitant to leave him when we went to pick her up! It’s so nice to find a dog sitter who works from home like we do. Highly recommend Matt.”


“As always Jennifer is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I joke that when we go on vacation, so does our Roxie. She truly lives her best life with her. If you are looking for a sitter who loves your pup as much as you, look no more. Roxie even came home with a Christmas gift.”

“Petey loves going to his doggy hotel. He gets excited when we drive into Sandra's neighborhood. He receives lots of loving attention and has other dogs to play with, although Sandra can also accommodate a dog who wants privacy. The Doggie Guard Station has a doggy door to the yard -- important for an elderly gentleman who may not have a lot of advanced warning that he needs to go out. This last stay I had to extend because of illness and Sandra was happy to do so. It's great to have found a place to leave Petey when I go to visit my family. ”
