“This latest stay with Mila was the longest that Woodford has had with anyone, and we were admittedly nervous because of some separation issues he has. He was happy and excited to see us but was unexpectedly calm. Mila has developed a close bond with him, which puts both him and us at ease when we’re out of town. We’ll continue to use her as our preferred sitter going forward! :)”
“Rodney and Marissa loved on and took care of my big baby. They are very patient and first class when it came to handling Eros, who is a handful! I highly recommend them and will continue to work with them in the future.”
“Chris provided a wonderful home environment for my anxious pup and checked in frequently with updates and pics. Chris is gentle, calm and laid back, which worked well with my dog. When there were difficulties, such as getting my dog to sleep in his crate the first night, Chris was flexible and adaptable, which I greatly appreciated. I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Chris’ capable hands and would call on him again to pet sit.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our puppy dog received from Jena! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. We received daily updates with videos and pictures, which were such a comforting touch and really showed how much fun he was having. It was clear he was being treated like one of the family. When he came home, he was happy, healthy—and completely exhausted from all the playtime and attention! We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring sitter. Highly recommend!”
“They were so great we felt in peace our baby was with them. Very loving, patient, organized and great communication. I appreciated the many many pictures and videos and them being on point with Pachas routine and doing extras for training . We highly recommend them!😊”
“Melissa is very attentive and accommodating. I can tell Zelda is very comfortable with Melissa and her pups. She immediately starts playing and doesn't seem anxious at all. Thanks, Melissa!”
“We booked Ashley to watch our dog as we were going out of town for the Christmas holiday. We couldn't be happier; Ashley was responsive, sent pictures and it looked like our doggie might have had a better vacation than we did! Our dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes and Ashley handled the insulin administration with no concerns and even went out of her way to get more insulin from our vet! Ashley and her family were welcoming and they have a beautiful property for your dogs to roam. We look forward to booking with her more!”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Nicole was an amazing host! She took loving care of our dog and sent frequent updates & photos. We will definitely trust her with our dog again if the need arises.”
“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”
“Phyo is a patient and excellent sitter! My dog, Tony can sometimes be a bit difficult, and Phyo was patient during our first meet and greet. He also lives in a great neighborhood, so you can be rest assured that you furry friend will have a great time staying with him. I will be using Phyo again!”
“Sadie did really well staying with Jacob and Megan – with getting older, she has some anxiety when she’s not at home and can be a little 'stubborn'. They were very accommodating and I appreciated the extra effort. I would definitely use them again to watch Sadie!”
“My dog Luna seemed to have enjoyed her time at Linda’s home and playing with the other dogs. Linda was communicative and flexible.i appreciated the daily photos and sometimes even videos. I will be booking with her again.”
“Liz is amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone and I was nervous but she made everything so easy. She took such great care of my dog that I think he misses her now. We will be booking again in a few weeks ☺️☺️☺️”
“Another amazing stay with Danielle! This is the second time Coco has stayed with her for an extended visit, and once again, we couldn’t be happier. It truly feels like a doggy vacation paradise for her. We know she is so well cared for, and we’ll absolutely be back again.”
“Felice was great! She gave me updates every day and sent lots of pictures. Layla had a great time and I always felt confident that she was being well taken care of.”

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 Arden Valley 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 Arden Valley.
<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 Arden Valley 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.
