“I'm so grateful to have found Bryan and Brooke to take care of my little guy. They were absolutely wonderful! They kept me updated with photos and videos, and treated my doggie like their own. I’d book them again in a heartbeat (which I plan to), and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.”

“Megan is an outstanding dog boarder. She sent us photos of Dream daily and an update. Megan gave Dream exceptional care and I could not be more appreciative for Megan . Highly recommend!!!”

“She sent photo updates every day and Frankie had a great time and was well cared for. She also has crates and toys available so I didn’t have to pack it myself which was nice.”

“Philip was a fantastic dogsitter! He clearly has the experience to understand and take care of a variety of pups and we felt totally comfortable having him look after our dog. Can’t say enough positive things about the experience.”

“Since our first use of Rover, this has been the best visit/offering of service thus far! Sonja &Phil maintained communication and provided photos throughout her entire stay, provided proper feeding (I always give a little extra and sitters would never have any to return), and she came back well and in good health (not the case on 2 occasions with another sitter). I appreciated that Roxy was still able to get outdoors in a enclosed area and I'm sure she did as well because she loves being outdoors. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be looking to use their services again!”


“I absolutely love Erin and her husband ! Very nice people and you can tell they love animals . marshmellow loves going to their house . I would recommend her to anyone . She gets an A++ in my book . I feel so comfortable leaving mellow with her”

“I booked Chris to watch over my disabled pup while I was away for a week. Not only is Chris a wonderful, kind, and polite person but he was also attentive to my boy’s every need. Chris maintained the strict schedule I gave him including daily medications and ample playtime to ensure my dog was happy and healthy while he was away from my care. Chris was responsive to my messages and even sent picture updates completely unprompted. I was never left wondering how my pup was doing because Chris went out of his way to constantly update me. After seeing the property Chris resides on, I was comforted to know that my dog would have plenty of room to run around and get his energy out. Chris’s own dogs were friendly and very excited to meet a new friend which I viewed as a great opportunity for my own dog to increase his socialization skills. I’ll be the first to tell you that I am extremely wary of who I allow to care for my boy and I can say, without hesitation, that I was impressed with the intention and gentleness Chris gave my pup. I will certainly be booking with him again!”

About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in our daily life along the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.
“Always amazing! Have lost count of the number of times she has watched our cat, Sparks. But she always does an amazing job and keeps us updated on how he is doing.”

“I’m so happy I found Jennifer’s profile. She took great care of my 3 babies and eased any anxiety I had leaving them for their first time being boarded. Will definitely rebook with Jennifer again! My pups had a blast there.”


“Connie was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She took excellent care of my pups and sent many pics during their stay. I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! I will definitely use her again in the future.”


“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”

“Cici and Nick were great with my high maintenance and anxious senior dog. They provided frequent updates and pictures and I truly appreciated the requirement of a meet and greet in public prior to being able to book. These are good people who love their animals and those they take care of.”

“We always try to book Traci when we’re leaving town. She is conscientious, flexible, and cheerful, and provides frequent updates with photos. We have no worries at all when we leave our pups with Traci. Our dogs love her, and she seems to really love them, too!”

“LaTasha provided such great care to Deuce. The videos and pictures sent each day helped me in knowing that he was having fun and in a safe place. I will absolutely use her services again.”

“Morgan is truly a godsend! I cannot speak more highly about him. I was absolutely desperate to find a boarder for my grandmothers dogs as she had been hospitalized and her heat was not being paid due to memory issues. Our dogs of 10+ years were inside of the house without a caretaker and in a desperate plea for help, Morgan answered. Not only did he answer, but he moved around his schedule to get the dogs out of the house the next day. Due to the severity of the situation they had not been groomed , they were very matted and he even brought them to the groomers and back so that I could focus on an extremely important interview. He also sent lots of photos and videos that I was able to send to my grandmother during her recovery to make her feel better. I am so extremely grateful to have people like Morgan around. People like him give us faith in humanity again. ❤️”

“Lorena was great with our dog, Gus, He was a little shy when got to her house and she spent some time with him. At the end of his stay he was part of the pack! We got updates and pictures throughout the visit which we enjoyed. We highly recommend her.”
“Shadow had thee best time staying with Seyla! I was able to really enjoy my trip knowing my dog was in great hands and being kept abreast of the walks and feedings definitely gave me peace of mind. Shadow got to socialize with other dogs and got plenty of daily exercise! Because he was walked in the woods and forest, he did bring home about 5 or 6 ticks but I will get him on a preventative in hopes that it will help for future visits with Seyla. As a fellow dog sitter/walker myself, I highly recommend Seyla and will definitely be booking with him again in the future!!!”

“Tracey provided excellent care and consistent communication for my favorite furry family member. He came home happy and healthy. Top notch care provided, highly recommend.”

“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Sue. She took care of our two cats for a week while we were across the country. She was very reliable, communicative, and thoughtful. At our initial meet and greet, she took the time to ask questions and made sure she understood our normal schedule. While we were away, she sent daily updates and pictures, which was very appreciated. We came home to a tidy house and happy cats. I am very grateful, and we will definitely be re-booking with her in the future! Thank you, Sue!”

About: My deep love for cats started with my first kitty, Figaro, a goofy Maine Coon mix who loved nothing more than chest snuggles while I slept. Today, I am the proud parent of four wonderful indoor cats: Tobi, Mackerel, Pebbles, and Weasel. They are incredibly sweet, socialized, and friendly. Because I manage a multi cat household, I have extensive experience administering oral medications and applying topical flea/tick treatments.

Whether your kitty is a social butterfly or needs a patient, gentle approach, I promise to give them the absolute best care and keep them spoiled rotten in a safe, loving environment!

We will definitely be booking with you again. See you soon!”

We will absolutely reach out again when we need help with our pup.”

We are so grateful for the care she has given our dog!!”

“Ligia is by far the best doggy sitter in the world! I had never left my fur baby with anybody else before but Ligia reassured me that he would have a great day and he sure did! Every time I leave Harley at her house, I get pictures of him playing with other dogs and constant updates on how he’s doing. Ligia has helped Harley be able to socialize with other dogs and the best part is that I know he has a fantastic time with her. He’s always super excited to go to her house and play with his best friend, Ducky. I am so happy and blessed that I found Ligia! I absolutely recommend her and her services. Harley and I couldn’t be happier!!”

“Connie truly is the finest dog sitter in the area. Her flexibility, kindness, and remarkable attention to Romeo's needs set her apart. She manages a delightful group of pets and Romeo always returns home not just content but also thoroughly exhausted from his fantastic day of play with his furry companions. The convenient drop-off and pick-up process enhances the experience, and the stunning surroundings that resemble a canine resort contribute to the overall charm. Connie's service is genuinely unique and unparalleled – she unquestionably deserves the title of the number one sitter!”

“We were visiting from out of state and Anna took care of our puppy Osa while we spent the day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. This was our first experience with Rover so we were a bit nervous. Anna was great, she sent several pictures, Osa seemed happy when she was returned, and Anna was nice enough to drop her off in downtown Monterey so we didn't have to give up our parking spot when we were done with the aquarium.”

About: Hey there! I’m Allie. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur-babies, and my goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I always recommend a meet and greet so we can get acquainted and make sure I’m the perfect fit for your pets. I like to take the time to sit down, get to know both you and your pets, and answer any questions you may have. I moved to North Carolina from Virginia in 2019 when my husband’s military service brought us here. Since then, I’ve been pet sitting full time while completing my college studies. At home, we share our lives with our dog and two cats, who inspire me every day to provide loving, dependable care for all pets. I’ve spent my life around animals and have worked professionally in nearly every area of pet care, including animal hospitals, boarding facilities, grooming salons, and in-home pet sitting. These experiences allow me to confidently care for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets. Including administering medications and providing extra support for pets with medical or behavioral needs. I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to hamsters, bunnies, reptiles, chickens, goats, and horses. If I haven’t worked with a species yet, I’m always eager to learn. No two animals are alike, and I love discovering what makes each one special so I can provide care tailored to their personality and needs. I am very flexible and able to provide your pets lots of quality time. 30 Minute Drop in: This is a quick visit to check in on your pet. I’ll let them out for a potty break, refresh food and water, give any needed meds or treats, and spend time playing or cuddling. I’ll send you photos and updates along the way. Perfect for a midday break or some company while you’re away. Overnight Stay: Your pet will have company and care throughout the night. I’ll follow your evening routine with dinner, a potty break, any meds, playtime, then stay overnight for supervision and comfort. In the morning, I’ll handle breakfast, another potty break, and fresh water, while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Light home care, like checking mail or plants, can also be included. Ideal for pets who need extra comfort and prefer staying in their own home. When caring for others pets I treat them as my own. Whatever your pet needs, I'll happily accommodate them to the best of my ability. I always triple check doors are locked when I leave, and that there is nothing in reach that could be harmful to your pets. (human food, dog treats, toys etc)

About: I have several years of experience providing dependable and compassionate pet care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have cared for both small and large adult dogs through regular walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, ensuring they receive the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am comfortable handling energetic, strong dogs as well as senior dogs that require a gentler approach. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every dog, and I treat each pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to check in on pets. Prefer morning walks and late afternoon walks.Have an open schedule. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I make sure they stay comfortable by following their regular routines. I provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, let them outside for bathroom breaks, clean up after them, administer medication if instructed, and spend quality time playing with and comforting them. I also keep the home clean and secure by bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and ensuring doors and gates are locked before leaving. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care while they are away.

“I'm so grateful to have found Bryan and Brooke to take care of my little guy. They were absolutely wonderful! They kept me updated with photos and videos, and treated my doggie like their own. I’d book them again in a heartbeat (which I plan to), and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.”

“Megan is an outstanding dog boarder. She sent us photos of Dream daily and an update. Megan gave Dream exceptional care and I could not be more appreciative for Megan . Highly recommend!!!”

“She sent photo updates every day and Frankie had a great time and was well cared for. She also has crates and toys available so I didn’t have to pack it myself which was nice.”

“Philip was a fantastic dogsitter! He clearly has the experience to understand and take care of a variety of pups and we felt totally comfortable having him look after our dog. Can’t say enough positive things about the experience.”

“Since our first use of Rover, this has been the best visit/offering of service thus far! Sonja &Phil maintained communication and provided photos throughout her entire stay, provided proper feeding (I always give a little extra and sitters would never have any to return), and she came back well and in good health (not the case on 2 occasions with another sitter). I appreciated that Roxy was still able to get outdoors in a enclosed area and I'm sure she did as well because she loves being outdoors. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be looking to use their services again!”

“I booked Chris to watch over my disabled pup while I was away for a week. Not only is Chris a wonderful, kind, and polite person but he was also attentive to my boy’s every need. Chris maintained the strict schedule I gave him including daily medications and ample playtime to ensure my dog was happy and healthy while he was away from my care. Chris was responsive to my messages and even sent picture updates completely unprompted. I was never left wondering how my pup was doing because Chris went out of his way to constantly update me. After seeing the property Chris resides on, I was comforted to know that my dog would have plenty of room to run around and get his energy out. Chris’s own dogs were friendly and very excited to meet a new friend which I viewed as a great opportunity for my own dog to increase his socialization skills. I’ll be the first to tell you that I am extremely wary of who I allow to care for my boy and I can say, without hesitation, that I was impressed with the intention and gentleness Chris gave my pup. I will certainly be booking with him again!”

About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in our daily life along the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.
“Always amazing! Have lost count of the number of times she has watched our cat, Sparks. But she always does an amazing job and keeps us updated on how he is doing.”

“I’m so happy I found Jennifer’s profile. She took great care of my 3 babies and eased any anxiety I had leaving them for their first time being boarded. Will definitely rebook with Jennifer again! My pups had a blast there.”


“Connie was able to accommodate a last minute booking request. She took excellent care of my pups and sent many pics during their stay. I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! I will definitely use her again in the future.”


“Jordan and his family was amazing with Monty. He was very quick in his responses with continous updates while taking care of my dog. His home provided the perfect space for Monty to roam and be free. Will definitely use again.”

“Cici and Nick were great with my high maintenance and anxious senior dog. They provided frequent updates and pictures and I truly appreciated the requirement of a meet and greet in public prior to being able to book. These are good people who love their animals and those they take care of.”

“We always try to book Traci when we’re leaving town. She is conscientious, flexible, and cheerful, and provides frequent updates with photos. We have no worries at all when we leave our pups with Traci. Our dogs love her, and she seems to really love them, too!”

“Morgan is truly a godsend! I cannot speak more highly about him. I was absolutely desperate to find a boarder for my grandmothers dogs as she had been hospitalized and her heat was not being paid due to memory issues. Our dogs of 10+ years were inside of the house without a caretaker and in a desperate plea for help, Morgan answered. Not only did he answer, but he moved around his schedule to get the dogs out of the house the next day. Due to the severity of the situation they had not been groomed , they were very matted and he even brought them to the groomers and back so that I could focus on an extremely important interview. He also sent lots of photos and videos that I was able to send to my grandmother during her recovery to make her feel better. I am so extremely grateful to have people like Morgan around. People like him give us faith in humanity again. ❤️”

“Lorena was great with our dog, Gus, He was a little shy when got to her house and she spent some time with him. At the end of his stay he was part of the pack! We got updates and pictures throughout the visit which we enjoyed. We highly recommend her.”
“Shadow had thee best time staying with Seyla! I was able to really enjoy my trip knowing my dog was in great hands and being kept abreast of the walks and feedings definitely gave me peace of mind. Shadow got to socialize with other dogs and got plenty of daily exercise! Because he was walked in the woods and forest, he did bring home about 5 or 6 ticks but I will get him on a preventative in hopes that it will help for future visits with Seyla. As a fellow dog sitter/walker myself, I highly recommend Seyla and will definitely be booking with him again in the future!!!”

“Tracey provided excellent care and consistent communication for my favorite furry family member. He came home happy and healthy. Top notch care provided, highly recommend.”

“Ashley had a great home and perfect back yard! Even accommodated to my spoiled dogs who sleep in the bed. Our dogs got along well and I was not worried one bit when they were in her care. She sent lots of photos. I am relieved to know I have a got to person next time I’m out of town. Rockstar Ashley!”

“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
