“Aaron & Tia took great care of my Frenchie Bella. She had an initial knee injury that required crate rest and very limited activity and their willingness to accommodate our needs at the last minute for an extended (18 day) stay was beyond amazing. After the meet and greet with Aaron and their amazing soon I felt even more at ease. Prior to her stay, Bella was stung in the eye and was required eye drops in addition to the knee injury. Aaron wasn't phased by the additional special needs. While on travel in Asia, I received almost daily pics and a video. I could tell she was having a great time. She also needed to lose a few pounds to help with her knee injury and Aaron and Tia returned Bella in tip top shape and a few pounds lighter. She is off of her pain meds for her knee and her eye is healed. I can't thank them enough. When I met with them they only had a few reviews and I wasn't deterred. This is proof that the # of reviews does not determine the type of love and care your pup receives. I will be using their services again and again very soon.”

“My pup Luna loved her time with Vanessa and Gio. They are super responsive and provide great updates. Definitely would want Luna to stay with them again!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zulma. From the moment I walked into her house she made me feel completely at ease about leaving my dogs in her care. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”

“The relationship started with a meet and greet and Yiqiuxi and Nick asked all of the right questions to ensure that it was a good fit. They were interested in his routines and most importantly the do's and don'ts so Gucci didn't pick up any bad habits. Next the drop off. They have a huge area for Gucci to get plenty of exercise and he showed an immediate sign that he was comfortable which sealed the deal. We could not be happier with how well our Gucci was taken care of (6 nights) I was truly impressed with the consistency in daily updates which included photos, cuddle time and summary of his day. We appreciate their flexibility when I needed to add an extra day due to travel delays. I highly recommend Yiqiuxi and Nick and I am getting ready to book a new date right away. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”


“My dogs had a great time staying with Brian! He provided me with daily updates with a photo or video included, which was much appreciated! My boys were well taken care of which made my business trip much easier! I would not hesitate to use Brian again.”

“Absolutely amazing! She was so quick to respond and very accommodating about drop off/pick up times! She also send pictures and videos with updates throughout the stay which I so appreciated! And our Penny girl was loving life over there! We will most definitely be contacting her again! She’s the best!”

“Mady is amazing. I think our golden had more fun on his “vacation” with Mady’s family than we did on ours. This was our first time leaving our boy with anyone ?. Mady communicates flawlessly- many pictures and videos daily showing all the fun they are having. We give her our highest possible recommendation.”

“This was Denzel’s second stay with Corey and it was great! Corey sent updates throughout the day and accepted my last minute request to extend the stay. I really appreciate his flexibility, communication, and the care he shows Denzel. Thank you!”

“Lashelle was a great person to watch over my dog. She provided me with daily updates and pictures of his visit. Through updates, I was able to view the love and care given to my dog while I was away. I will definitely seek to work with her again.”

“My pup was so spoiled in love and clearly very happy and comfortable! Best Rover stay she’s had yet! 🥰 I highly recommend booking with Melonie. She provided tons of photos, daily updates and was very thorough in our initial meet and greet. Thank you for caring for Gianna, Melonie!!”

“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”

“Emmanuel is an absolute gem! We came to his house for a meet and greet prior to boarding. He has a lovely home and back yard and all the dogs staying with him seemed happy and loved! He sent daily updates and photos while we were away. I immediately booked him again for another stay!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Thor was happy when we picked him up, so I know that India went above and beyond in taking care of him. If ever we are in need of a dog sitter, we'll without hesitation give India a call. Thank you India.”

“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”

“This was my first experience with a dog sitter, and I must admit I was a little nervous. However, Elissa was incredibly reliable; she sent updates and photos, which really brightened my day and helped ease my worries. I appreciate her taking such good care of my dog, especially on such short notice. I will definitely hire her again and recommend her to my family and friends.”

“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.”

“I had an extremely positive experience boarding my dog with Shane. He has a really nice environment for dogs - a cozy indoor area in his house and a large yard where they can play. Shane provided me daily updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. Prior to boarding, he did a meet-and-greet with me so he could see if my dog is a good fit which made me confident that the dogs he watches are well-behaved and get along. He treated my dog very kindly and I would not hesitate to entrust him with my dog in the future.”

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received. From the very beginning, communication was excellent—quick responses, clear updates, and complete reliability. Elissa was incredibly accommodating and flexible with a last-minute request. My dogs were clearly well cared for, comfortable, and happy the entire time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such attentive and loving hands. I would absolutely trust Elissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, top-quality pet care.

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 Ashbox home-away-from-home, 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 Ashbox.
<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 Ashbox 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 , 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 .
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.
