“Lori took great care of our dogs. I received pictures every few hours which reassured me they were doing fine. Lori was also responsive to my messages. We will definitely be asking Lori to watch them again next we need a caregiver for the dogs:)”
“Bianca is very great with my doge and they are so comfortable with her. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great sitter. I have used her on several occasions and never had a problem.”
“Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of our boy Max. He requires extra attention due to his separation anxiety. You treated him like he was your own, allowing him to be a lap dog as big as he is. He loves to be next to people. You provided us with pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip, knowing he was being well taken care of. Elizabeth, you went out of your way to help us stay calm when our flight was significantly delayed. We will definitely use your services again.”
“OMG!! Donna is the best sitter! She really treated my Lola as her very own. Donna and her husband were great! I was so worried about leaving my dog with a sitter, and Donna made me feel extra comfy by keeping me constantly updated with photos and videos of how my dog was doing while away. The home was very clean , and her pets really are a plus, and made Lola feel good as well , as she had a ball playing with them. I will be using Donna again very soon. And she is highly recommended if you need a dog sitter. Thanks again Donna!?”
“Monica did an excellent job caring for our pups. She provided daily pictures and reports to provide us with status updates. It is clear she has a passion and great patience for dogs. One of our pups didn't want to come home lol! Highly recommend and would use her again in the future.”
“This was Balee's first boarding stay with Mady. She and her family were Ah-Mazing! I felt bad leaving because of an ear infection that he was diagnosed with a day before our departure. Balee received lots of TLC during his visit and Mady kept me updated about his adjustment daily (which was comforting).”
“My fur baby had an amazing time with Crystal. She sent me pictures or videos everyday. I felt reassured that he was being taken care of. I plan on booking Bailey again with her soon. Excellent sitter and so knowledgeable about dogs.”
“Tanita and Terrence did a phenomenal job of keeping us informed of our dog’s daily activities. Loved getting pictures and videos every morning. Barkley was having SOOO much fun interacting with the other dogs. Would trust them to keep him again without hesitation.”
“Shuling is amazing! She is very responsive, takes lots of pictures to show that your baby is doing well. My furbaby looked happy and entertained in all the pictures. She was also able to fit me in last minute for a repeat stay and my pup recognized the house and was happy to be there. No reservations to using Shuling again.”
“Brian was amazing with our pup. He continued to update us with photos throughout the day, it was such a treat. I can’t recommend his services enough! We’ll definitely have our big guy stay with Brian again!”
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
“From the moment we arrived to Sabrina’s home, we could tell how comfortable they felt in her home. They weren’t anxious or hesitant, they settled in so naturally, which says everything ALOT. As an anxious pet parent, that peace of mind was everything. Our Maltese got an upset stomach during the last night of the stay. Sabrina took such great care of her and followed up with us to check on her a few days later after That level of concern shows this isn’t just a service, she genuinely care about the pets she watches. Thank you for treating our babies like they were your own. We’ll absolutely be back in the future!”
“Zulma took such great care of my two Shitzus Louie & Zoey. I got regular photo/video updates which I really appreciated. She asked for permission, which I gave, to bathe them, they were most likely smelly due to the weather. Can I tell you when we picked them up they were so silky, shiney and soft! Even more so than when they come from the groomers. I really must ask her what is the product she used! We will most definitely book her again!”
“Kelly you are amazing and thank you for everything you do for everyones pups! Our girl had such a great time and I felt so comfortable having her stay with you. Definitely will book again in the future!!”
About: I have had breeds of all shapes and sized my entire life. I care for my 2 year old border collie and I have experience handling cats as well. I want to make your pets feel at home even when you are away. I would want the best from my boy when I am away, so I want to provide that service to others! I am full-time employee so I can stop in before and after work on weekdays, and I am free weekends for endless playing ! (I can stay in the evening during the week until around 8-9) I am very respectful of other people’s spaces and would be happy to meet your animal where they are! I do NOT offer boarding currently.
“Dasia was fantastic again! It’s so great to find someone you feel comfortable to watch your pet. Dasia provided updates and pictures throughout the stay. She was amazing.”
“Fantastic service, will book again! Really appreciate the excellent care and communication, and the kindness and flexibility when I needed to extend my booking because my travel schedule changed. Felt assured that my cats were safely integrated into a new temporary family and well taken care of while I was away.”
“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”
“Melonie took such great care of our big dog! She asked many questions before our first boarding that I knew she would have a full handle on how to care for our dog.”

Onayda was fantastic with Shine for her first overnight! Shine was so happy to be dropped off that she was crying with excitement as soon as we hit the driveway. Really appreciate the flexibility with pickup and the understanding with Shine’s sensitive stomach. Already booked Shine’s next stay!

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 April Estates 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 April Estates 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 April Estates.
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 April Estates. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 April Estates 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.
