“Lucy was well taken care of at Renee's. I had peace of mind while I was away and Renee communicated when she needed advice about Lucy. I would recommend Renee for anyone needing a place their dog.”
“We believe Rene is the dog whisperer. Our dogs did great and we appreciate how they loved going back the next day. We have anxious dogs and they don’t always like where they’re going but they certainly loved going back. Thank you for taking great care of our pups.”
“Boarding with Ellen was outstanding. We had a family emergency that made taking our large dog with us impossible. He’s five-years old and had never been away from home - I am sure it was challenging for him. While not aggressive or disobedient, at about 120lbs he can be intimidating. Ellen was clearly very comfortable with him during our meet and greet visit and was very confident he’d be fine with her. He absolute was! She made him very at home on her beautiful farmette with her pack of critters. They all looked clean and loved. I noted her calmness with the dogs and confidence in their interaction under her watchful eye. The dogs have plenty of space to run and socialize. She made sure we gave her his “regular” food and medications, and verified other foods he would be allowed to have. She sent regular updates and photos during his stay. Each action shot was accompanied by a thoughtful narrative of the photo. We really enjoyed pictures of his quiet time, napping with the other dogs in her home was comforting. They all looked content. We needed an extra day of boarding because of the unpredictability of our travel and Ellen made it so easy. Our dog made new friends and we did too.”
“Our puppy Midas had a great time with Marne and John! They took great care of him while we were away and sent many photos to let us know how he was doing. We would definitely have him stay with them again!”
“Stark always has fun when he stays with Priscila. It was his second time, and he’s comfortable with her. She sends updates and makes me feel at ease when we’re away! Thank you for watching Stark! Will definitely be back again.”
“Chris & Gerry are simply THE BEST! I couldn’t say enough great things about them. So many beautiful updates every day while on vacation with heartwarming messages and adorable pics of our little Lexi. I was completely relaxed my entire vacation knowing Lexi was in such great hands! Can’t thank you enough!”
“Linda is always amazing! She treats pups she takes care of like her own is a great communicator. Our doggo loves her and is always happy to see her. Could not recommend more!!”
About: Ive had pets of my own and work with animals through vet hospital. I love cuddling, playing, and going on walks with pets. I am open to assist with giving medication for doggies who need extra care. I will happily send over pics of your pet during visits. I'm currently part time at a pet hospital. Availability can vary, just message me and we can try to work something out. On days I work usually I'm available in the evenings. I can offer boarding if needed. I do not have a fenced yard, I like to take pets out on walks for potty multiple times a day. I have 1 dog ( Wilbur ) + 2 cats (Phineas and Senu ). Wilbur is very friendly and would love the company of your pet. He is a tree walker coonhound Cats can be separated if needed when boarding your pet. For check ins - I can come over to make sure your pets have their food + water set. If meds need to be given I'm open to doing that. I'll also spend some time with them to offer some love and make sure they have some time outdoors. If owner allows I can take your dog out hiking / extended walks or to a park.
About: Hi, I’m Suzie! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies and energetic younger dogs to sweet seniors. I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual personality, routine, energy level, and needs. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and rest. I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom to a wonderful 2.5-year-old toddler and a friendly standard-size labradoodle, so pets are naturally a big part of my daily life. Being home most of the day allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care for your pet. Our home is filled with activity, play, and love—perfect for pets who enjoy company and a family setting. I work pet care into my daily routine by: • Frequent Potty Breaks & Playtime: Since I’m home, I can let dogs out often and provide outdoor time in my spacious (unfenced) backyard with close supervision. • Walks: I enjoy taking my dog on walks, and I’m happy to bring your pup along for fresh air and exercise. • Indoor Play & Enrichment: Toys, games, and interactive activities are part of our daily routine, keeping pets entertained and engaged. • Naptime & Relaxation: There’s also plenty of quiet time for rest and cuddles—especially during my toddler’s nap time. • Flexible Schedule: My flexible routine allows me to adapt to your pet’s specific needs, whether that means extra outdoor time, medication, or simply extra love and attention. Pets become part of our little family while they’re here, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for throughout their stay! Pet Care Approach: Caring for pets is my passion, and their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home , I strive to create a loving, attentive, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. In My Home: I live in a single-family house with a spacious backyard (not fenced), offering plenty of space for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Since the yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is closely monitored to ensure your pet’s safety. Leash walks are also available for added security. Indoors, pets will have a cozy and clean environment where they can relax and feel at home.
“Hannah took great care of my dog, Sheru, and kept me updated while I was traveling. She was responsive and flexible with drop-off and pickup arrangements. She also noticed signs of a possible UTI and thoughtfully suggested checking with a vet. I really appreciated her care and concern for Sheru. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Alex provided an overall great experience for our Great Dane puppy. He has a great temperament and provides a perfect environment for dogs. Our puppy came home happy and tired. Couldn't ask for much more.”
“Erika was an excellent caretaker for our senior dog while we were out of the country. She was communicative and attentive to his needs, and it was clear when we returned that he had been comfortable and well looked after.”
“Kate & Johnny are great! Super communicative, lots of photos & took great care of our pups! We had to shorten our reservation by one day and Kate was super accommodating. We would not hesitate to book again or recommend to others!”
“Kathleen and her family were great! They always take good care of our Blue and the girls are so loving with her! We love getting our daily updates and they made sure to let us know if there was anything going on with our girl. They were super flexible when we were delayed with our flight which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely use them again, thanks Kathleen!!”
“Emily was wonderful! She watched our Old English sheepdog Hudson for five days and was extremely sweet sending us thorough updates twice a day! Hudson was walked twice a day and extremely well taken care of. He normally is terrified of storms, but he did great with her and her sweet pup Finn. I would use her again in a heartbeat and will recommend her to any of our friends!”
“We were looking for a sitter on short notice, and Rachel was very accommodating; facilitating a meet and greet right away. We absolutely loved Oliver, and him and Lana got along right away. Lana had a great weekend away, and we could not be happier. Lots of updates on our trip, many many cute photos. Absolutely would recommend.”
“Jax was so well cared for in Joanne’s care. She is delightful and took Jax pretty much on a last minute notice. She always has a smile on her face and was a joy to work with. Jax was well adjusted being back home.”
“I have elderly chihuahuas and if you know anything about the breed they get worse in temperament, as they get older. I choose Kaye when reviewing her profile and seeing her experience and the chihuahuas surprisingly cuddled up with her and interacting with her family and other dogs. She’s great in conversation and keeping up to date.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Braddock Heights
We have two small dogs, one that’s 11 years old and another one that’s about a year and a half. We needed to go out of town for a few days and were looking for an in-home boarding for both of them that was close by. Maria and Brian’s home was the perfect fit. We knew during the meet and greet that they and their children would take very good care of our dogs and provide them the family atmosphere that they are used to. We came back to very happy and relaxed dogs. We will definitely be booking with them again.❤️❤️
Our pup had a surprise surgery earlier this summer and needed specific boundaries for healing, he received excellent care with Britney. She is an attentive pet sitter, gave fast responses to texts, sent pictures regularly, and picked up on his behaviors and patterns quickly. Brittney also keeps a clean and tidy home. We are so glad that Britney accepted our request!
Lauren and her family took such great care of our golden retriever, Milo, for 2 nights! She was communicative, kind, and easy to coordinate with throughout the stay. Milo seemed like he had a great time and came home happy and relaxed. We’d definitely trust Lauren to watch him again and would highly recommend her!

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 Braddock Heights 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 Braddock Heights 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 Braddock Heights.
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.

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.

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.
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.
