“Kelly and Maurice are pawesome! 🐾 My Yorkie enjoyed her stay and even made a new furry friend. They kept me updated with pictures and videos which I enjoyed. Pick-up and drop off was a breeze. Highly recommend!”

“I highly recommend Donna and Brain! They were reliable, caring, and accommodated me with short notice. My pet is well cared for, comfortable, and received plenty of attention. Knowing my pet is in such good hands gives me complete peace of mind. I will definitely book with them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

“I hate to let you in on this secret - Marta is wonderful! Lincoln had the best time staying at her house and playing with her dogs. She is thoughtful, very caring, and ensured he had the best time away from us. I can’t wait to book with her again!”

“Annie had a blast! They were great about giving updates and making sure we knew how Annie was doing. She was sad to come home and missed her dog friends she made there! Will definitely book again.”
“Sandra took excellent care of my energetic two-year old fur baby while we were out of the country for nine days. During that time Sandra sent photos and updates. I felt completely at ease knowing Nani was in good hands!”


“Michelle is always dependable to watch my doggy Kevin even when my request is last minute! I appreciate the love and attention Michelle and her family gives to Kevin!”

“Another stay with Carlie and we cannot recommend her enough! We always have such peace of mind with her daily updates and photos and knowing that our pup, Indi, is safe and having fun. Indi gets her own vacation when she stays here and we love knowing that our she gets to enjoy herself, too! Between Carlie's loving and kind family, the huge bonus yard, and Carlie's attention and ability to continue medicine (she even notices any behavioral changes!), we just know we've made the right choice. Do yourself a favor, and get on her schedule for your pup sitting needs! :)”


“Renea and her son are absolutely amazing! I’ve left my dog with her twice now, and both times I’ve had complete peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She is caring, attentive, and patient with him. She kept me updated throughout his stay, which I really appreciated, and I always felt reassured knowing he was happy and well taken care of. I’m so grateful I found Renea, we will definitely be using her again”

“What can I say?!? Candace is a phenomenal dog sitter and my pup enjoyed getting pampered and taking walks. Look no further, Candace is amazing! She will send you pictures/updates and spend lots of time with your pet.”

“Elena did an amazing job with our Old English Sheepdog Lady. I could really tell that she loves taking care of animals, and she did a great job. Our dog was pretty nervous as she went to the vet the day before, but Eleana made her feel at home and I thank her for that. I highly recommend her.”
“We had such an amazing experience with Kristy and Nick.. Kristy was very friendly and extremely caring, attentive, and thoughtful with our puppy, Teacup, and truly treated him like her own. She kept us updated, noticed his little behaviors, and made sure he felt safe, loved, and comforted the whole time. Their home was clean, calm, and well-organized, and we felt completely at ease leaving Teacup with them. We’re very grateful for the care they gave him and would happily trust them again.. can't recommendation her enough!!”

“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!”

“Mark and his family were an absolute pleasure to work with. Gianni and Milan have never been so happy upon their return. Mark paid very close attention to each dogs needs and personality. He was extremely observant and attentive when explaining their daily routine. You can always tell how well cared for your fur babies are while they are there and when they return. He mad sure to send daily updates and some AMAZING pics of our dogs. We can’t event get them to smile that much lol will definitely use his services again for sure!”
“Benjamin is an excellent dog sitter! We could really tell he cared about our dog Chewy. He has a lovely home in a nice quiet neighborhood with plenty of outdoors space for our dogs. Chewy looked really happy during his stay and didn’t give us any attitude after his pickup.”

“This is my 4th booking with Alder and Kathy and unless they are unavailable, I will continue to book with them. They are incredibly kind and soooo good with my little guy who can be shy. They send updates and I literally NEVER worry when he’s staying with them.”

“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.”


“It's reassuring to know that your dog's caretaker likes your dog (almost) as much as you do. I could tell by the texts and photos Jeff sent me during Ruth's stay with him that they were having a blast. I returned home to a worn-out, happy pup. I can't ask for more. Thanks Jeff!”


“Moose had the best weekend with Shelby and her pup! It’s always nerve wracking when you leave your pet for the weekend but Shelby made us feel so comfortable by sending photos and treating Moose like her own. Highly recommend her to watch your fur baby!”

“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avila
Molly was amazing! She was so attentive and thorough in her communication and sent wonderful updates throughout Chinook’s stay. I had peace of mind knowing he was in caring hands, and Molly’s background in veterinary care gave me even greater ease! I highly recommend Molly— she is one of the best Rover experiences I’ve ever had.

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 Avila 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 Avila.
<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 Avila 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.
