“Jon and Mary took great care of our Faye. We haven't left our puppy with anyone before so we were very nervous. They put us at ease by talking to us for a while about their rover experience. They have two adorable, friendly, fun loving labs that played with our little Faye. Their family all pitched in to keep Faye happy and active. We will definitely be using Jon and Mary again. Highly recomend!”
“Lonnie watched our border collie Gruffy while we went on a week vacation. Gruffy had a wonderful time with Lonnie and I am pretty sure he was on vacation too! Lonnie really did make Gruffy part of his pack that week and took the time to send us pictures. The pictures were great! I know Gruffy had a fabulous experience and we highly recommend Lonnie to anyone who has a fur baby.”
“Stephanie and Taylor could not have been more terrific. It was our first time booking with them and they made me feel comfortable, sent pics, and really seemed to enjoy their borders. All that and reasonably priced which I appreciated. I’ll definitely book with them again, I see why they have so many repeat clients.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for our Frenchie, Louie! From the moment we met, we knew he was in great hands, and that feeling only grew while we were away. French Bulldogs can be a little high-maintenance, but Louie was treated like family. We received regular updates, photos, and could tell he was happy, comfortable, and incredibly well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was getting lots of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles instead of just being "watched." When we picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and honestly seemed like he had his own little vacation! It's clear that caring for animals isn't just a job—it's something they genuinely love. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and who will love your dog as if they were their own, look no further. We would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our sweet Louie—we're so grateful!”
“Ellen was amazing! She sent me daily updates with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. Pearl was clearly happy and comfortable; she absolutely loved being on the farm, seeing the other animals, and making new friends. I’ll definitely be booking with Ellen again!”
“Jim and Mary were awesome with our pup. They sent me pictures throughout his stay so I could see how he was doing. He was very comfortable with them and when we picked him up, he acted the same as the dog we had left. (we had previous experiences where he was skittish for a few days after staying with a previous dog sitter) Jim and Mary treated our Camden as if he were their dog. I would be comfortable leaving our dog with them anytime and plan to use them again in the future. I highly recommend them!”
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“We’ve always had great experiences with Lingli! Our dog is always so happy to see her, which says a lot. She takes great care of her, and I always get plenty of updates while we’re away, which gives me peace of mind. We really appreciate how well she cares for our dog and would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have been pet sitting for 3 years and love all animals! I have a perfect setup for animal care, including a walking trail behind my house. I’m home during the week-I have 2 middle school aged boys that are in school and my husband works long hours. I am able to get up early for morning walks or feedings. I have a fenced in yard, with stairs leading to a deck, walk out basement with kitchenette for food storage, play area, and a resting bedroom.
“We are so grateful for the amazing care that Heather gave to our 1 year old golden (Cobain) over Easter break!! He really enjoyed his stay with her, the walks to the pond and the creek, playing with her daughter and their farm dog, Charles! We loved getting lots of updates and pictures ❤️ We will definitely be booking with Heather again!”
“Casey and Marwa are the most accommodating and caring dog sitters, we have ever had. They do their best to keep with the routines that Indiana knows and then add extra long walks, treats, brushing, playing, and lots of love. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly. On top of that, they are super-flexible with drop off and pick up times and took Indy in on very short notice. Will definitely be back”
“Thank you photo for watching Bailey on short notice. He looked well rested and had a great time with you. You were quick to respond and sent pictures and updates. I appreciated the consistent communication. Next time Bailey needs a sitter I will call you.”
“Eric was amazing! He took great care of Dallas and sent pictures throughout to keep me updated. Has amazing attention to detail and treated Dallas as if he were his own. 100% recommend!”
“Rachel and Jason were wonderful and accommodating hosts for our Aussie. I appreciate that they took the time for a meet-and-greet up front to make sure our dog would get along with theirs, and they were patient with her when she arrived very excited and barky. Also got to see another dog that they were hosting, and Rachel was super sweet with him. I'd go as far to say she's a dog whisperer! We received regular updates and photos to put our minds at ease. Would definitely leave our pup with them again.”
“Dorian took care of our senior dog with special needs during our travel out of state. I am really thankful to Dorian for his attention and care of Nina and for going above and beyond to make her comfortable and well cared for.”
“We booked her at the last minute and she was very flexible and helpful! She and her family took really good care of our pup. We loved the photos that she sent us of our dog playing.”
“Ebony did a great job with our Rusty. She sent pictures and videos every day. When he had an upset belly and needed a diet modification, she had no problem making adjustments! Thanks, Ebony!”

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 Avondale 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 Avondale.
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 and your Avondale 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.
