“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“Cleo always enjoys her stays with Denise's family. They always follow her care instructions and take great care of her, and share plenty of photos so I can check in. Would definitely recommend this sitter and will book with them again in the future.”
“This was our first Rover experience and Kelly and Maurice made it easy. They assured us the Bizzy was going to be fine and they didn’t disappoint. The understood Bizzy was still training and agreed to continue during his stay. The pictures and video sent kept us worry free and connected to our baby. Thank you for loving Bizzy like we do.”
“They were great! Very responsive and took care of my dog! I had a severe delay in my travel plans and they graciously allowed my dog to stay an extra night which really took a lot of stress off for me. Will absolutely use them again.”
“La Tasha is a great sitter. She is very sweet, kind and friendly. Communication is excellent , she kept us informed and is very responsive. I definitely recommend her services, you won't be disappointed.”
“Very kind couple who helped tremendously with my last minute request! My dog can be dog selective and they assured me that they keep all dogs separate because they are familiar with dogs who aren’t super social. I got daily updates with pictures about Oakley was doing and I never once doubted that my dog was in safe hand!”
“Gio & Vanessa were very responsive. I received regular updates. They are quite knowledgeable about dogs and were intentional about easing our Buddy’s transition to their care since it was his first time with them. This was the first time he was boarded and did not bolt out the door when we came to pick him up so i surmise he liked staying with them!”
“Simply the best...this was my first experience with Rover and the process was pretty easy. But the best part was our caregivers!!! Hands down I think our spoiled poochies were spoiled even more:-} From ALL the pics and daily notes all our apprehensions were dissolved in a day. Lynette and Vince are amazing! Thank you for delivering on your promise to care for our fur babies, just like I would (maybe better...LOL). God Bless!”
“Rena was outstanding! She took great care of my puppy and sent photos and videos. She took him out for walks several times each day. I will definitely use Rena for any future boarding needs.”
“Faith is very prompt at responding to requests and questions. She provides photos and my dog runs right into Faith's house when we drop her off. I think Faith spoils our pup, which is great because our doggie is a senior :)”
“Tina was a fantastic sitter for our 10-year old pup! She is clearly a “dog person” at heart and set us at ease right away. Snowball settled in right away and acted confident and comfortable with Tina. She took him for walks and played with toys and sent us cute photos each day! It was evident Tina took excellent care of him! Tina was also quick to respond and communicated well throughout our booking. Will definitely book with Tina again!”
“Zulma took such great care of my two Shitzus Louie & Zoey. I got regular photo/video updates which I really appreciated. She asked for permission, which I gave, to bathe them, they were most likely smelly due to the weather. Can I tell you when we picked them up they were so silky, shiney and soft! Even more so than when they come from the groomers. I really must ask her what is the product she used! We will most definitely book her again!”
“What more can I say, Brian is amazing! His love for pets is made clear by the extraordinary level of care and attention he shows them. He is so communicative and takes lots of amazing pictures every day, too! This was my pup’s second long visit, and I will continue to use Brian in the future.”
“This was our first time boarding our dog. We appreciated Megan's personality and her warm family. Diesel seemed super happy in every photo. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Roxsand was wonderful from start to finish! She accepted my request for weekend boarding and immediately made me feel comfortable. When I met her and her pups, it truly felt like a house full of fun and love. We did a meet and greet beforehand, and she explained scheduling and routines. She even offered daycare prior to the boarding so my little guy could get familiar, which I really appreciated. She took the time to ask thoughtful questions about my dog and his routine. I mentioned that my baby usually sleeps with me, and she was more than willing to let him sleep in her room—something that meant a lot to me. During the stay, Roxsand kept me updated with plenty of messages and photos, and she was always responsive and reassuring whenever I had my little anxious questions, or comments, hehehe. It was also comforting knowing my pup had her adorable dogs and family members to play with and keep him company. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely book with Roxsand again.”
“Atiyana is a lifesaver! She took our last minute request to board our boy. She kept us updated while we were away and I know our boy had an awesome time. Will use her again ❤️”
“~ I highly recommend Emily! She was amazing with my boy Blackjack. My 1st time with Emily & will definitely be a return customer! Emily sent pics with a update every evening.. Sent my boy home with a cute scarf & a brand new toy, bc my boy fell in love with the same kind of toy that her dogs were playing with & she said we have extras & he loves it so much.. Emily is the SWEETEST!!”
“Corey (and Antonio!) accepted our “last minute” request to board Cooper for the weekend. He sent daily updates & pictures and even adjusted the booking when we returned earlier than expected. I would definitely book Corey again!!”

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 Barstow 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 Barstow.
<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 Barstow 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.
