“I couldnt have asked for a better sitter than Eric! He took wonderful care of my dog on short notice, sent multiple adorable photo updates, and followed all feeding and walking instructions to the letter. My puppy came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Great experience leaving Oliver with their family. The two of them were conscientious and considerate about understanding Oliver's needs and ensuring that I felt comfortable leaving him in their care while I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Oliver with them again!”
“We have used Josh and Andres for day-sitting and boarding of our dog Comet several times and they have been very good. They are extremely responsive and accommodating and take really good care of Comet.”
“Very great communication and sent a lot of pictures while I was away! Made my girls feel at home and the family was incredibly nice/hospitable. Did not worry at all leaving my girls in their care!”
“Qingbo is the very best sitter. She takes such great care of the dogs and keeps a good routine. She always updates us with photos and videos. We are pleased once again and will use her services again!”
“Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!”
“Jessica was an absolute gem when it came to caring for my dog over the weekend. From the very beginning, she made both me and my pup feel completely at ease. We had the chance to meet her beforehand, and her warmth and attentiveness immediately reassured me that my dog would be in great hands. What truly set Jessica apart were the frequent updates and numerous pictures she sent throughout the weekend. It felt like I was right there with my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind. In fact, after meeting her, I was so confident in her care that I canceled my original booking—even at the cost of a cancellation fee—and I have absolutely no regrets! Jessica is an exceptional dog mom, and I’ll continue booking with her whenever I need a sitter. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, look no further! Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Pixie always loves her stay with Jeannie! Pixie recently started taking daily medications, and Jeannie is always very accommodating to Pixie’s every need. It provides great peace of mind to know she is safe and well-cared for when I have to travel. Highly recommend!”
“Another fantastic stay with Theresa. Misa is always so well taken care of at her house and I never have to worry. She sends pictures every day and a check in. Theresa and her daughter Lyv are our go to sitters when we travel.”
“We used Jeramy as a last minute sitter when our original plans fell through, and we were so happy with the experience! Our dog can be a nervous with new people, but she loved Jeramy and had a great time during her stay. She also sent lots of pictures and videos to keep us in the loop. We will definitely be using her again :)”
“Cindy was outstanding with Elmo, he warmed up to her very quickly considering he has a reserved nature and resistance to routines changing. She was also very communicative and allowed for a straight forward reservation and handoff.”
“Ivan and his family are a dream! They took such great care of Maxy while we were gone. Great communication and complete flexibility with drop off and pick up. You can tell that Ivan and his family truly love animals. My dog has issues with being left alone, and it was so nice at Ivan’s as his family all works from home and help to take care of your pet. In this case, it worked out so well as Maxy was never left alone once. They have a nice fenced in area and a dog door for easy in/out access. We loved their dog Sunny too, who was so mild mannered and a great companion for Max. Thank you so much! We can’t wait for the next time ;)”
“It was our first time leaving our dear fur baby behind for a family overseas trip. It was nerve-wrecking not knowing what to do. We found Rover app and through that a very caring, dedicated sitter, Nuria. We received daily pictures and updates, which instantly put us at ease. Nuria even knitted a beautiful sweater for our beloved. We will definitely use her service again in the future.”
“Kelly was great to work with and took amazing care of our quirky guy, Stanley. Stanley is often wary of new people and he seemed to warm up quickly with Kelly. She was very conscientious of his needs, including giving him his anxiety meds. Kelly was also great at communicating and I love that she reached out with questions and kept us very updated on how and what he was doing, including sending lots of pics. We will definitely use Kelly again.”
“We couldn't be happier with Marylee! My lab had a great time at Marylee's place. During the two days when my dog stayed with Marylee, she kept us updated by frequently sharing my dog's pics and videos. I felt very comfortable having my dog staying with her the entire time, and I think my dog also felt very comfortable staying with her. Additionally, she kindly shared with me lots of information and dog training tips that were very helpful to me as a first-time dog owner.”
“Benny loves going to Shanilka’s, and I love knowing that he is getting such great care. We are a repeat customer and will continue booking with Shanilka. We couldn’t be happier.”
“TayJuana did an excellent job with Coco! She was patient and understood this was Coco’s first stay with someone else. I can’t wait to use her again and would recommend her for sure.”

I can't recommend Eric enough!! It's not easy to find someone who handles our 100lb female Berner who can be overwhelmed in new settings. Eric made her (and us!) feel comfortable and reassured and able to enjoy our trip knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely book again in the future!
Our 1-year-old pup Boomer had an amazing stay with Lauren. She kept him happy, active, and well cared for the entire time. He got to enjoy lick mats, a 2-mile walk, several play sessions, and lots of playtime with other pups which was perfect for burning off his energy. He does have a bit of separation anxiety and I was nervous about his first Rover stay, but it is clear he was comfortable, entertained, and treated like one of her own. She sent daily updates with lots of pics and was very responsive. I really appreciated the attention and care Lauren gave him, and I would absolutely trust her with him again. Highly recommend!
I couldn’t decide between 3 stars and 4 so I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Alexia seemed to do a good job with the dogs. We actually thought she would be our forever sitter being that she was close by. However, communication was difficult with Alexia. During the time the dogs was with her it took a very long time for her to get back to me on check ups. She eventually did and everything was fine but the worry it caused while I waited was concerning. My babies came back in one piece and seemed happy so I was happy. After the stay was over Alexia reached out to me with a concern. I reached back out to her multiple times but assumed at this point she was just ignoring me. I tried calling and texting with no response. I can’t address a concern if there’s no communication.

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 Ashton-Sandy Spring 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 Ashton-Sandy Spring 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 Ashton-Sandy Spring.
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.

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.

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.

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.
