“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!”

“Mila was an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Coco, over two nights. She was incredibly communicative, keeping me updated and reassured throughout Coco’s stay. Mila gave Coco all the attention and care she needed, making her feel right at home. It’s clear she’s not only professional but also a genuinely loving person who truly cares about the animals she looks after. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Mila to anyone looking for someone to take excellent care of their pet!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Lydia! She and her family took excellent care of our dog while we were away, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciated her reliability, kindness, and genuine care for our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dogs!”


“Felice T is REALLY ?? awesomeness! I was VERY skeptical about leaving my Tedii with anyone. She is extremely shy and very attached to me as she was a full pandemic puppy with no socialization. I have to say that although Felice was very nice on our first meet and greet, I was still not sure. Her reviews were very positive and promising. However, I was thinking to myself, well my dog is different! (????♀️). I am here to tell you the reviews ARE TRUE!!!”


“This was our girl Elsie’s first stay and it worked out great! Mary and James are lovely and we could tell that they were spoiling our girl. We loved the funny photos they sent. We look forward to having our dog stay there again”
“Nicole was an amazing host! She took loving care of our dog and sent frequent updates & photos. We will definitely trust her with our dog again if the need arises.”

“Stephanie and Taylor took excellent care of Leia during her stay with them. They sent daily updates and pictures with summaries of her day and by the time we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave! I highly recommend them.”

“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!”

“My girl, Raina had a blast while staying with Heather and her family! I appreciated the picture updates and communication throughout her stay! Raina is a high energy pup, and I was so relieved that she had the perfect property and other playmates to keep her busy! Will definitely book again! Thank you!!!!”

“Brittanie & Ryan were amazing! I had never used this service before and was a bit nervous. They were great and explained how it worked, and I met them before booking to make sure it was a good fit for all of us. It really was!! I could tell they took care of my dog as well as their own. They sent pictures throughout the week and texted back right away with any questions that I had. I can’t thank them enough and would definitely recommend them 100%! What a wonderful family and they loved Lucky and he was so happy with them and their family.”

“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”

“Charles was amazing. Prince had a little issue shortly before his stay, and Charles was wonderful about making sure he received his medication. He kept me updated and even took pictures of Prince and sent them to me, which I really appreciated. Prince looked like he was having a great time and was very comfortable in Charles’s care. I was able to relax and not worry because I knew Prince was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and communication Charles provided. I would definitely recommend Charles and will gladly use him again!”

“Helen and her crew were so wonderful! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog, who can be a bit of a handful, and made him feel right at home. Our dog was so excited to go back after our meet and greet, and seemed a bit disappointed to leave at the end of his stay. Her dogs were also super sweet and welcomed Berry just as much as Helen did. She was super communicative and I really appreciated the updates and pics. I will definitely try to book with Helen again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alma Meadows
If you're at all apprehension about leaving your pets with a caregiver, message Michelle!!! This was our 1st experience with a stranger caring for our pets and we were extremely happy with Michelle and her family. She often sent photos and videos of our pets playing with her dogs and also her sweet little girls. They have a large fenced in back yard for the dogs to run and play. We would not hesitate to have Michelle care for our pets in the future. Thank you so much!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alma Meadows home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Alma Meadows.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Alma Meadows sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
