“I HIGHLY recommend Tavin!!!! She is so sweet and I can tell she really loves animals and cares for them. I LOVED and appreciated all the adorable updates on how my fur baby was while I was away. I will definitely reach out to her when I need a puppy sitter from now on!!!”
“I loved how I got frequent updates and she took very good care of my boy. He definitely had a blast!! She answered very quickly when I had questions or when I was ready to drop off/ pick up which made the experience very smooth!”
“Jesse was wonderful is every aspect.. as we are driving down from CT, we had a few questions and she very prompt with her communication. She took care of Sufi very well and he was very happy when we picked him up.”
“Charlie had another wonderful vacation at Sarah’s house. I can travel with the assurance that he is safe and happy. Likewise, my social cat receives daily visits. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Arlene was everything a petsitter should be…reliant, kind, level-headed and doting. We were visiting New Bern on our boat and had an unexpected trip to take. Knowing nobody in town, we turned to Rover (first-time users) and found Arlene. She was great! Sent photos and an update daily, and was flexible when we had to add an extra day to our trip.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Ashley! He has some anxiety and hates to be left alone, but Ashley gave him the love and attention he needed to feel at ease. She allowed us to bring him over prior to his stay to get a little more comfortable and she always had great communication, sending plenty of pictures while we were gone! Definitely recommend and will use again!”
“Chantel was wonderful with Murphy and Mazi. She was very responsive, communicated clearly, and provided lots of great pictures and updates throughout their stay. She was attentive to their specific needs and followed all of my care and medication instructions exactly. Chantel was also very kind, and her friendly dogs got along well with Murphy and Mazi. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Calvin seemed to be very happy staying with you and happy also to come home. We feel comfortable leaving him here when we need someone to watch him. Thank you for being available and taking good care of him. Would recommend.”
“THE BEST! Michelle and her son are the SWEETEST. So easy to talk to and very communicative. We are so happy we found Michelle . Unfortunately, our previous sitter can no longer watch dogs. So we have tried to find a sitter that matches her love and treated our girl like her own. Our doggo was even so sad when she got home. I'm sure she missed Michelle and her sweet son. She had such a great time being spoiled and playing all day.”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“Once again Joel and Janelle treat our 2 boys like family. This time a dog pool was included and the most adorable pictures of our old man Cooper and baby boy Briggs! Being relatively new to NOVA- we feel so blessed we found this precious husband and wife team! Beautiful place and nothing but love ❤️”
“Payten was amazing. I will definitely be using her again. It was my baby's first time being with a sitter. He is very reserved and stubborn, but he really warmed up and trusted her. That right there shows me that she is a person to be trusted. She kept me updated regularly, even sending pictures. Thank you Payten!”
“Agnesa was fantastic as a sitter. We contacted her on fairly short notice to watch our six month old sheltie Laska, and she was flexible around timing with our flights out of and back into Newark. She kept us up to date on Laska regularly with pictures and videos, she did quite a bit of training with him that was very helpful (we’ve learned a lot from her), and it was clear when we picked him up that he had a wonderful time with her! We appreciated her communication with us and her care for Laska. We will definitely be contacting Agnesa again the next time we need someone to watch Laska!”
“Leo loved his time with Emily! He loved exploring her property and obviously felt comfortable with her based on his behavior when dropping him off and picking him up 🙂”
“Juliana is hands down THE BEST! She is super knowledgeable about how to best introduce your pup to hers. Her house is a haven for pups, with a nice big fenced yard, plenty of toys, and lots of soft places for naps. My sweet old man absolutely loved his time with her, and we will absolutely be using her for all of our boarding going forward!”
“This was our second time using Barbara. Will definitely use her again. She clearly loves animals and her regular updates were great! I was worried our boy might not want to come home. 🙂”
“The whole experience was easy and stress-free. They were caring, reliable, and kept me updated while I was away. My dog was happy and well taken care of, and I would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”

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 Big Pool 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 Big Pool.
<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 Big Pool 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.
