“Jessica was great with my baby. She sent me pics. My baby looked happy from the meet and greet even when he went back 2weeks later like they never missed a bit. Jessica was attentive n lovable. Big thanks Jessica, he will be back. ❤️”
“Shannon took great care of our boy while we were away on vacation. She sent a lot of pics throughout and took extra care to keep him safe during the crazy heat days. Would absolutely book again!”
“Nina and her family did a great job with my cats! The boys have completely different personalities, and both were taken into account. My shy boy, Taco, wanted to be left alone and that was respected. My cuddle bug, Grayson, wanted loving (eventually) and got lots of pets and playtime. We will absolutely rebook Nina for our next vacation!”
“She was very sweet, along with her. She took really good care of our dog and regularly sends pictures and videos. She ensured he is being well hydrated and active.”
“Our dog spent two nights with Rich, and he absolutely fell in love with him. When I came to pick him up, he was thrilled to see me but clearly reluctant to leave Rich's place. I’m confident that Rich took wonderful care of him and kept him entertained the entire time. Rich is kind, considerate, and genuinely the best sitter we’ve ever met.”
“Amanda was amazing!! We had to book last minute as our initial plans fell through. I was really worried because they can be high maintenance and we had only adopted our one dog a few months ago. She sent us numerous updates showing that they were being loved and cared for, easing my worries. She went above and beyond, even having a fun bubble session with them. If we were to need someone in the area again we would certainly go to Amanda!”
“Ariel is amazing with my dog - Fluffy. Fluffy seems to really like her and is very happy to be dropped off there. I trust Ariel completely and highly recommend her!”
“Jerry was so amazing with our dog, Puffin! It was our first time leaving him for an extended period of time since moving to Maryland, and I was having major anxiety about finding someone reliable. Jerry is such a kind person and followed all of my instructions. He sent daily updates and photos, which made me feel at ease. We will definitely be using him in the future and I highly recommend him! Thanks Jerry! :)”
“Thank you for always taking such great care of Bori! He got to make a new friend this time, so I’m sure he had an extra fun time. I also really appreciate how flexible and accommodating you were when our schedule changed. It means a lot to know Bori is in such good hands. I always recommend Danielle to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about their fur babies💛”
“Chelsea did a PHENOMENAL job taking care of our Lany this weekend at Chelsea’s home. She’s punctual, very communicative, and treated Lany as if she was her own. She was thorough and asked all the right questions during the meet and greet, and we appreciated the frequent updates and pictures throughout the weekend. Lany looked like she was right at home when we picked her up! We whole-heartedly recommend Chelsea for your dog care needs.”
“Erin was fantastic! My dog is only 5 pounds and can easily slip out of the front door when someone is at the door. Erin was VERY consciences of my concerns and I was very comfortable with her visit even though this was our first time boarding with Erin. You are in good hands with Erin!”
“Gina took great care of Izzy! She sent me plenty of videos and updates and I could tell my baby was happy there. She was flexible with pickup and drop offs as well. Will book again!”
“Fabiola and her husband were wonderful! They welcomed Jack into their home and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. Because Jack experiences some anxiety when he is away from home, he typically loses about 4 pounds during a four- to five-day stay. This time, he did not lose any weight, which I attribute entirely to their exceptional care and hospitality. Fabiola will always be my first choice for any future trips. She and her husband are the best!”
“Alexis took great care of our pup and she was very happy during her stay' We appreciated the picture updates during our trip. We would definitely book with Alexis again”
“Our pup had a great time with Ece! She took her on lots of walks and to the dog park and sent us photos while we were away. We look forward to rebooking in the future.”
“Jie and his family were welcoming to Phil. I received pictures and updates about how he was adjusting to his stay. I was able to focus on my time away knowing my baby was lovingly cared for, I will definitely use them again.”

Nicole helped me out with a last minute booking after I was ghosted by another sitter. My old lady, Sophia, doesn’t often get free reign to runaround without a leash - she had a blast doing so at Nicole’s with another dog. Nicole sent pictures and I felt confident that my dog was well cared for.
Once again my precious fur baby spent an extended time with Ginnie and Steve and the whole gang while I was away and he was loved, and cared for and had a bunch of fun. I know I can trust them to look after him and make him comfortable, even if he wants some quiet time under the bed. LOL Knowing he is safe and having fun, allows me to enjoy my holiday too. Thank you for all you do.
We know our dog will always be in good hands here!! We love the updates we get everyday with pics/videos. Robin and her family are so organized and give every dog exceptional love and care :) I highly recommend to go with their services if you want a trustworthy and caring family to take care of your dog!
I can’t say enough nice things about Sean and the wonderful way he took care of our fur baby, Taz. He kept me up to date with Taz’s daily activities and added pictures. I am so grateful for Sean and his excellent care of Taz. I will definitely use Sean again in the future!
Jessica was absolutely amazing with our dog! It was our first time boarding, and she made us feel completely at ease. She took such great care of our dog and sent us daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our dog was happy and well cared for. We will definitely trust Jessica again and will absolutely use her pet-sitting services in the future. Highly, highly recommend!
Nina was such a blessing to find as I was looking for last minute care for my pup! She welcomed Sweet Pea into her home and within the evening she was settled and I could tell she felt at home. She shared pictures throughout the stay and was super communicative which I appreciated greatly! She came home tired and so happy - couldn’t ask for more!
Leah & Jada made Butters feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved from the start. They were generous with updates and incredibly transparent throughout his stay, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. Butters settled in immediately and truly seemed at home. It was clear he was in great hands, and their thoughtful, attentive care meant so much. Highly recommend!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
