“Sadie had such a great time staying with Laura. She is very skeptical about new environments; however, she was very comfortable and showed no signs of stress. I will be asking Laura to watch Sadie again in the future.”
“Everything went well with my dog's overnight stay. She got her walks and Sandra communicated with me throughout her stay with photos. Much appreciated Sandra! Hope to use your services again. Lisa H.”
“What can I say, Miss Candice loves what she does. And it shows, It’s like home away from for my fur baby who all but jumps out the car window when we pull up for his stay. Thank goodness my window was up. Total opposite when pull up to the groomer.”
“Lindsey did a fantastic job caring for our 6 month old pup. She communicated a minimum of 2x per day and always provided pictures with each communication. We will definitely be using Lindsey again in the future.”
“Barbra took amazing care of my little senior yorkie and he had a blast staying with her. She kept me updated while I was away and sent the cutest pictures. You can tell Barbra cares about animals and wants to make sure they are comfortable during their stay. I 100% recommend her services to anyone who reads this!!”
“Claudia was absolutely fantastic! She sent frequent updates with pictures and was super caring. I could tell that she has a true passion for animals when I first met her. Everything worked out so easily that I had no cares leaving my dog behind. I will be using her again for sure. Thanks Claudia!!!!”
“I can't even express how deeply grateful I am to have found someone as exceptionally loving and thoughtful as Patricia to take care of our dog while we were away. It can be concerning when trying a caregiver for the first time, but she completely exceeded expectations and made our dog feel right at home. I could tell from the videos, photos and descriptions that our dog had so much fun and was so happy, even with her tending to have a hard time opening up to new people. Our dog is almost 7, and this is by far the best time she's ever had away from us. Very much looking forward to the next opportunity for Patricia to dog sit for us again.”
“Stevie absolutely LOVES staying with Robyn. We also greatly appreciate her communication while Stevie is with her. It is evident Stevie is treated like family when she stays! Thank you Robyn!!!”
“Kayla was great and was able to accommodate me and my dog on very short notice. She’s incredibly caring and was great with updating me during my boarding time. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Yvonne is always great boarding Ivy. Our dog loves her backyard and staring out the front window. We always know Ivy is well taken care of and get many picture updates to prove it.”
“Enrica and her family were absolutely wonderful! We were a bit anxious about leaving our guy somewhere new over the holidays, but we couldn’t be more pleased. Enrica was extremely responsive to messages, sent regular updates and photos, and took great care of Gimli. When our return flight was delayed, she was very understanding about a late pick up. Thank you, Enrica!”
“5 stars! Rita went above and beyond for our 14 year old Louis. She is very reliable, responsive, gives good updates and is very caring with her animal guests. We will definititely ask for Rita again!!!”
About: We brought home our 1st puppy when our eldest daughter was 8 weeks old. Everything since then has been easy! Currently have an 8yr old Golden Retriever with a fenced in backyard. Each of our grown children took in a dog or puppy once they had their own homes. We have had cats, hamsters, fish, and guinea pigs over the years. I'm recently semi-retired and my daughters have used Rover for their dogs in far away states. I thought it would be a nice way to give our dog a playmate every once in a while. We have a large fenced in yard which your dog can run around or hangout with our dog if they'd like. Our house is split level so there could be 6 stairs at time to go up & down. I love to walk our dog & listen to books or podcasts.
“We are very happy to leave our dog Peaches with Alexandra. She and her family did a great job caring for our dog. We can go about with our travel plans knowing that Peaches is in a loving home environment. I would gladly recommend her for any pet owners looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Alexandra and family for your help with Peaches!”
“We were extremely nervous with having our dog stay with strangers but meeting Jill and Thomas quickly changed our hesitation. As soon as you meet then you can tell they are dog lovers. We recieved photos all weekend and our dog was having a great time. We will definitely be returning as a client.”
“Peter had a wonderful time with Bethany and her family. Great communication with pictures and texts. Peter loved playing with Bethany's daughters. He came home calm and well rested. We will book with Bethany again!”
“I have to say this with a warm heart that I absolutely agree with the other reviews. Latoya was professional, and kind. When BJ entered her home, I knew that I didn't have to worry about him. Latoya is amazing. I can't wait to book with her again.”

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 Appleton 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 Appleton.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Appleton 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.
