“Excellent communication with Julijai and her daughter. This is a family business to include their dogs that truly cares about our furry family member. We enjoyed the videos and pictures. Blu loves your huge back yard and it's so beautiful. Thank you for caring for him for the first time. We will be back in two weeks.”

My dog stay three days and came back happy 😊 anytime we mentioned Crystals name Reggie got excited!!! She cares for dogs with the upmost care and is absolutely fabulous!!! Thank you again Crystal!!”
“We left our dog with Patricia for 5 nights. We were nervous because he’s never stayed away from home since we got him. He is also a rescue, and, while a gentle pup, we just didn’t know for sure how he would behave away from home and his family. Fortunately, he did very well because Patricia and her husband took great care of him. He enjoyed their and their dog’s company. Patricia sent us daily updates with photos which were much appreciated. She communicated clearly, was punctual and professional. Highly recommended!”
“My dog means world to me & I Strongly recommend Marlin G. , she absolutely gave me peace of mind… she constantly updated me & making sure he is all good & loved. I give Marlin 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Thanks alot 🙏🥰🙏”
“Tasha was wonderful with Coconut and as a veterinary technician is very knowledgeable. She took really good care of Coconut and got her out on walks before I picked up which was greatly appreciated.”
“Nadia did a great job watching Oreo at her home. She communicated with me and sent pictures of Oreo . I felt assured he was in good hands and would definitely book again in the future!”
“We had a fantastic experience boarding our dog, Bob, with Jessica and her sweet dog, Max, for six days. Jessica went above and beyond—she walked Bob even in the rain, made sure he took his medication, and somehow even convinced him to wear his coat (a miracle in itself!). She sent thoughtful updates, and it was clear Bob felt completely at home. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Masha and her family were so welcoming and accommodating! She contacted me frequently during my two-week vacation, sent me pictures, and provided me updates. Loki seemed completely calm once I picked him up. I would absolutely book with Masha again!”
“Nettie was a wonderful sitter for my cat Tippy! Tippy had her own space completely separate from the dogs, a large cat tree and other furniture to climb and sleep on, and multiple windows to look out of — one of which had a bird feeder right outside for cat tv. Nettie is very caring and attentive - she played with Tippy a lot and sent me tons of pictures and videos. Would not hesitate to have her take care of Tippy again!”
“We really appreciate you taking such a good care of Winston. We like the fact that your family has your own dog and you don’t board multiple dogs at the same time. Since this was first time Winston was boarded, we were worried about him adapting to a new environment. He seemed to have enjoyed his stay and we would definitely use your service again.”
“Erika was so amazingly kind and patient. My pup felt so loved and happy as shown by his happy trot every time we arrived. We were very pleased with and blessed by Toby's stay with Erika and her lovely family.”
About: When I was little I struggled with finding companionship, as an individual with Asperger's syndrome, so my parents got me a dog. Through this experience, which has lasted over 20 years, I've developed the skills necessary to present myself as a well-versed caregiver (empathy, engagement, and attentiveness). You (as an owner) are your dogs best companion/ buddy and parent. I'd take high honoring fulfilling this role temporarily. I am looking forward to making many fellowships and communities along the way! This is my full time Job. I have a open schedule. please let me know what you’re dog schedule is and I will do my best to accommodate there daily routines and schedule. thank you! I have 3 dogs I take them outside about 2-3 times, also I take my Dogs out in the backyard to play also. whatever I can do to take care of your dogs or how to spend time with your dogs or look out for your dogs, i’m able to do to the best of my ability, whatever I can do to help I will.
“My dog had an amazing time with Nathalie and I recommend her services! Nathalie kept us updated with pics/videos from his stay and kept him busy with toys and lots of playtime. She is a great choice to care for your pet”
“Cori and her dog Bean were great as always! Cori unfortunately had to deal with my pup getting sick when she was with them but she handled it like a pro and kept me informed and updated the whole time. Very thankful to have someone so thoughtful and careful taking care of my baby for me. Thanks again Cori!”
“My dog has appeared to enjoy being with Jiao, and I got a picture or video of my dog everyday. Jiao was timely with her communication and flexible with drop off/ pick up. I would use Jiao to dog-sit again.”

My dog Chai is always in great care with Fredis! Always my first choice for her sitter. He's very quick to reply and confirm sitting appointments and updates on Chai during her stay. Very flexible as well had been accommodating and communicated well about flight delays and pickup person/time changes when discussed in advance.
It was a long 35 days without our dogs, but they were in good hands with Olivia and her family. My dogs gave Olivia some challenges along the way with eloping, etc. —- probably because they are not used to us being away from them for so long. Olivia handled the headaches our dogs gave her with grace. She was very transparent with things, which we truly appreciate. Thank you!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Ammendale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Ammendale 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 Ammendale.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ammendale. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Ammendale 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
