“First time user here to Rover. Having at least one pet in the family growing up our family went through our last dogs passing at the end of the school year. We recently just came to be the right moment that we added a new puppy to the family. However, with a new puppy in the family it isn’t the same to let a neighbor or just anyone check up on them and not knowing if the puppy is getting the attention they need. Qingbo promptly accepted our request and upon all the worries we had leading up to leaving our puppy with a total stranger for a weekend she set our minds at ease. Communication was ongoing and even before the trip she reminded us of things to pack and make sure we have with our puppy. She took care of everything, sent lots of videos and photos with updates as to how our puppy was doing away from us. She earned our trust and business as she was very open with communication and contacting regarding any concerns with our puppy. She spent plenty of time with our puppy even with sitting multiple puppies. If you want to have a knock it out of the park experience take a chance and book her!”
“Ahhhmazing!!! Michelle will absolutely be our go to dog sitter! Oliver is still a puppy so he is high energy and still working on his potty training. This was our first time using rover and his first time away from us. Michelle took care of him above and beyond our expectations! She sent us model pictures of him daily (much better than he lets us take of him, so we have new profile pics of him, lol!) She provided daily updates with the pics too, all of which gave us complete peace of mind! We couldn’t have had a better experience and that made our vacation that much more relaxing. We are extremely thankful to Michelle for treating Oliver like her own! 😊”
“Good communication. It sure seemed like our doggo enjoyed herself and came home tired from all the play time! Will be at the top of my list next time I need a sitter. Thankyou so much Shane and Brittany”
“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!”
“Lorna is the best! She was very kind and loving to our pup, Milo. She sent updates throughout his stay and even watched him for an extra day with last minute notice. We have already rebooked our next visit! 🙂”
“Anthony did a fantastic job sitting for our pup! His communication was top-notch, and he kept us updated throughout the entire stay with photos and check-ins. Everything went super smoothly, and we couldn't be happier with the overall service. Highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Eli is professional, as well as patient and kind. We had a last minute change in our travel plans and our pets were not all going to the same sitter, Eli didn’t hesitate to offer our largest dog his place and was open with the schedule . Thanks Eli we greatly appreciate your kindness”
“Amanda took great care of our fur baby! She kept us updated on how she was doing and sent so many pictures and videos that we didn’t have to miss her too much! Would definitely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a sitter! Thank you again :)”

Aviah's passion for dogs was evident in my babies excitement - they did not want to leave!!! I am so pleased I found her and will continue to trust her my pets because I know they will be taken care of.”

Malik was very friendly and took great care of Teddy during his stay. I especially appreciated his excellent communication! He was very responsive, answered all my questions throughout the booking process, and kept me updated with pictures and messages during Teddy's stay. Teddy seemed happy and comfortable with him when I picked him up. I highly recommend Malik and will definitely use his services again! 🐾
Very kind ! Right when we walked in she made sure my little man was comfortable! Her dogs are the sweetest little pups and sent me a bunch of picture of shadow playing with the other dogs ! You can tell he had a blast and was loved her yard space is amazing there’s shade and sun so he can be outside and still be cool and out the sun 10/10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Alexis took great care of our Bella. It was a late request but we are so glad it worked out for her to watch Bella. She was shared photos, asked questions, and was very responsive. We will certainly take Bella to her again when we need her services. We highly recommend her!
I truly can’t say enough great things about this experience! From the very beginning, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly compassionate—it was clear that caring for animals isn’t just something she does, it’s something she genuinely loves. Leaving Ralph can sometimes be a little nerve-wracking, but she immediately put me at ease and made me feel completely confident that he was in the best hands. Her communication was outstanding—she kept me consistently updated with thoughtful messages, pictures, and little check-ins that really meant a lot. I loved being able to see Ralph happy, relaxed, and fully himself while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind. What stood out most was how engaged she was with him. Ralph got plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise, and it showed—he came back happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on. She didn’t just “watch” him, she truly cared for him like he was her own. I would 1000% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with genuine care, attention, and love. Ralph and I are both so grateful!
Brandii and her family were incredibly warm and accommodating from the start. We appreciated the thoughtful introduction in a local park, which allowed the dogs to bond off-leash before moving indoors to discuss care details. Our dog, Pops, settled in perfectly and even spent the night cuddling with the rest of the pack. Brandii provided frequent photo updates and was highly responsive throughout the stay.
Lyn and her family are the absolute best! We have been taking our fur babies to Lyn for a few years now and they are always so well taken care of as if they are their own. This most recent time we had several cancelled flights due to a snowstorm and had to add on additional days last minute and they were so flexible and kind with letting our boys stay there and making sure they were good.

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 Annapolis Junction 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 Annapolis Junction 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 Annapolis Junction.
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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Annapolis Junction 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.
