About: Ive been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs in the house at a time. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from big to small, Seniors to puppies. I provide daily photos throughout your pets daily routine and tons of love I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of enough time to care for your fur baby. I believe all animals should be treated like they are you own even if they are temporary I live in a quiet cozy apartment with a big yard in the back. There is plenty of room for playtime and resting. Pets are welcome on all furniture
“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:)”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“Katie is amazing!!! Cooper absolutely loved her and she took such great care of him! And took great care of us dog parents - sending such thoughtful picture and video updates !”
About: I have a young, incredibly friendly, and playful Yorkshire Terrier who loves making new friends. Your dog will have a built-in playmate for gentle games and companion naps. I treat every guest dog like a member of my own family. I am happy to send you daily photo and text updates so you can enjoy your trip with total peace of mind! I am a retired pet lover with a calm, safe, and happy home dedicated to pampering small dogs. Because I am retired, your dog will never be left alone and will receive constant, one-on-one love, supervision, and attention throughout their entire stay. About My Home & Setup: • Fully Fenced Yard: Plenty of space for safe, secure outdoor sniffing and playtime. • No Stairs: Perfect for senior dogs, puppies, or breeds prone to back issues. • Cozy Sleeping: Your pup is welcome to sleep right in bed with me, or wherever they feel most comfortable! • Constant Companionship: I am home full-time, meaning potty breaks and cuddles are available on demand.
“Bianca is the absolute best! My dog Amelia instantly feels at home with her. And she contacts me with any issues that arrive immediately, as well as, sends me picture updates.”
“Tanya is friendly and provided a comfortable environment. Her schedule is flexible and she is responsive. My Banger didn’t want to leave. Looking forward to booking with her again.”
“Jake and Melissa were FABULOUS caring for our Max! We received regular updates, pictures and videos which really helped to know Max was enjoying himself and was is safe hands. He was part of their family! We are so grateful to have found Jake and Melissa on Rover - no more kennel for Max!”
“George (Chip).was great! Brandy was well cared for. He provided updates and was even able to accommodate a last minute change where she needed to stay an extra night. Would highly recommend. Thanks Chip!”
“She took really good care of my Freckles. Sent me awesome pictures of him while I’m on vacation. Very lovable person, I can feel the love she had for my kitten. She did a great job giving my kitten an extra care for his skin as well! Thank you so so much, I trust her sitting my kitten again if I ever have to.❤️”
“Jean was perfect for our dog. He loves her and her animals. She was prompt and communicative. I received pictures every day. I will book her again on another trip, for my dog's "vacation home".”
About: experience, I’ve cared for everything from energetic Labradors and playful Border Collies to senior pups and anxious rescues. I’m experienced with daily walks, positive reinforcement training, medication administration, and creating calm routines for dogs of all ages and breeds. Every day starts with a calm morning walk, fresh breakfast, and playtime to kick off zoomies. Midday brings another energetic walk or backyard fun, plus training and cuddles. Evening includes dinner, a relaxing final walk, brushies, and wind-down time so your dog stays happy, safe, and right on routine. Your dog’s safety and your peace of mind come first. I use secure leashes, supervise constantly, follow your exact routines, and keep emergency contacts ready. You’ll receive real-time photo updates and detailed reports so you can trust your pup is happy, protected, and well cared for every single day.
“Kathleen was amazing - so welcoming (and loving) as a pet sitter, and her home was perfect for Tigger, our nine-year-old rescue pooch who is very finicky when it comes to people! She had toys and treats and furniture that was not off-limits (she sent us a pic of Tig asleep on her sofa). We booked her for a one night stay to avoid the stupid hotel fees, and boy oh boy was (is) she worth it. The next day, she walked Tigger over to our hotel. Also: she's a nice person. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Aleah is absolutely amazing. I expressed how nervous i was leaving my fur baby and she instantly eased my nerves. I can really tell she cared for my pet. She sent me pictures keeping me updated during his whole stay. I will 100% be booking with her again & i recommend anyone looking for a sitter to chose her!”

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.

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.
96% of sitters in Arcadia Shores 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 Arcadia Shores 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 Arcadia Shores.
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 Arcadia Shores. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 Arcadia Shores 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.
