About: I have hands-on experience raising and training puppies, including intelligent, high-energy breeds like German Shepherds and Australian Cattle Dogs. I’ve also cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every dog has unique needs, quirks, and routines. My approach focuses on patience, positive reinforcement, enrichment activities, and creating a comfortable, welcoming environment where dogs can feel safe, happy, and free to be themselves. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate individual routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. Since I’m home throughout the day, your pet won’t have to spend long stretches alone and can enjoy a comfortable, relaxed environment with plenty of love and attention. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment where every dog feels right at home! I believe in allowing dogs to be themselves while respecting their individual personalities, boundaries, and routines. My home is shared with Harlow, my friendly and playful German Shepherd, who loves the company of other dogs that enjoy playing and respect personal space. I prioritize compatibility, thoughtful introductions, and supervised interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m stopping by yours for a drop-in visit, I provide personalized care, enrichment activities, exercise, and plenty of affection. I carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and provide photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“If I could give more than five stars, I would! Denise and her family kept our boys for twelve days and took such great care of them. We got lots of pictures of them being loved on and snuggled. It made us so happy to know that they were comfortable, safe, and happy while we were away. Our dogs’ medications and supplements were not an issue either. We wholeheartedly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for a home away from home for their dogs.”
About: Hi I’m Zoë! I love all animals, big and small and have been around them my whole life. >I have owned many different types of animals: dogs, cats, fish, a ferret, guinea pigs, a hedgehog, ect... >I have experience with a spectrum of ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I am good with puppies in training, as well as senior dogs who need accommodations. >Right now I have a dog (Bailey, 3), a farm cat, a fish, and also a flock of ducks. >I also offer yard clean up services and homemade dogfood! >I have been working for Rover since 2023 after I graduated from OSU >I moved to Fairfield County in 2024 I currently work part time at a greenhouse and run my own business. Most of my days are very flexible and I am open to new short and long term clients! On Visits: I’m down stop in and visit your dog, or take them out on a walk in the yard or neighborhood. Feeding, playing, walking, trick training, giving medicine, and having hang time are all in my comfort zone. I can follow specific directions and trust my gut instincts. I love all dogs, big and small. They all have different personalities and I like to take my time to learn a dog and their preferences and tendencies. I always bring a treat with me on meet and greets if allowed, and I understand dog behavior enough to interpret their mood. For Dog Boarding: At my house, we have baby gates to separate the floors of the house, the cat stays upstairs most of the time. I like to have dogs meet on leashes or through a gate, I never leave unfamiliar dogs alone together, and my house is very dog friendly, with hardwood and linoleum and not much floor clutter. Outside, my dog is off leash trained (I know I am spoiled), but all other dogs I keep on a leash if we are outside or on an 100ft rope when we take walks through the field.
“Osa felt so comfortable staying with Taylor a second time, she is so wonderful! Also always so quick to respond to messages, sent adorable pictures, and so flexible and on time with pick ups and drop offs!”
“Karla is super sweet and super flexible! She’s great with the dogs and gave lots of cute pictures and honest updates! It was my anxious puppy’s first stay with strangers as well as other dogs and they made fast friends :) she’s very responsible and has a great environment for the dogs, and shes very kind and understanding with them as well as you :) I would recommend Karla for a dog of any size, age or temperament, she did a great job and I will definitely be back!”
“Oreo had a great stay with Jana and her family. They took such good care of my elderly dog and made sure he had activity time and gave him all his meds and gave him care and attention. He got along with their dog, which isn't always easy for my Oreo. I was sent many pictures each evening so I could see how my buddy was enjoying his stay. I highly recommend Jana and Hannah (hope I got that right). I will definitely rebook with them.”
“Rayann was very friendly & warm & easy to communicate with. I’m appreciative of the care she provided for my kitten while my spouse and I traveled abroad for 2 weeks. I would surely recommend her services, and I will surely book her again in the near future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 763 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Baltimore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Baltimore 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 Baltimore 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 Baltimore.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Baltimore. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Baltimore 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 OH 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.
