“Auntie Kelly & Uncle Maurice were absolutely amazing to our fur baby! They sent photos and videos daily to keep us updated. I would absolutely recommend entrusting your fur baby to this lovely family.”
“Lynette & Vincent truly treat our beagle baby like their own!! It is always hard to leave her, and this was our longest trip away since we’ve had her. They did an exceptional job— even taking holiday pictures of Luna in her Christmas PJs for me! They give us peace of mind with their daily updates and pictures and their entire family gives Luna love and attention. Thank you for a wonderful experience!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”

“OMG! Marta is awesome. Prince enjoyed his time with Marta and Lucas. Marta sent pictures and updates on Prince every morning and every evening. Prince came back home well rested and relaxed and ready to go some more. I highly recommend Marta to take care of your fur baby. Marta is sensational, wonderful spirit and personality.”
“Corey is amazing. We used him for boarding services. He took very great care of Duchess and treated her has his own. He provided a status and pictures of her multiple times per day. I will definitely use his services again! Thank you so much Corey!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They welcomed our pup for a last-minute weekend stay and gave him such a comfortable, happy place to settle in. Their dog was a wonderful playmate, and the frequent updates and lots of photos made it easy to relax knowing he was having a great time. They were communicative throughout and incredibly accommodating as our schedule kept changing. We’re so grateful for the care and flexibility, and would happily book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“We’re so grateful for Danielle! She took amazing care of our dogs, Skye and Java, while we were away. She stayed in regular communication, sent plenty of updates and photos, and gave us such peace of mind. It was clear our babies were comfortable and well-loved. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”
“My dogs had a great time staying with Brian! He provided me with daily updates with a photo or video included, which was much appreciated! My boys were well taken care of which made my business trip much easier! I would not hesitate to use Brian again.”
“Amelia is very kind and communicative. She was able to send me updates and photos throughout the duration of my dog’s stay with her. Highly recommended and would use her services again!”
“Tamara was a wonderful sitter who provided timely responses, pictures, and updates throughout the duration of my dogs time with her. I highly recommend Tamara.”
“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.”
“Rubi and Martha are so wonderful with my shy pup Junior! He has some medical needs and needs patience and warmth to loosen up in new situations, but they didn’t miss a beat and he was at home with them in no time. He loves his time with Rubi, Martha (and his new buddy Oddie) and we are lucky to have them.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and caring for dogs for years, and I genuinely enjoy having them as part of my everyday life. I currently have dogs of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and making sure everyone is comfortable and cared for are already part of my normal routine. I offer dog boarding, doggy daycare, walks, and drop-in visits. Depending on your dog’s needs and energy level, their time with me can include walks, supervised outdoor play, exercise, bathroom breaks, enrichment, or simply relaxing and getting plenty of attention. I have a fully fenced yard that gives dogs room to safely get outside and play throughout the day. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has its own routine, so I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, medications, crate preferences, sleeping arrangements, behaviors, triggers, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, introductions with visiting dogs are handled carefully and interactions are supervised. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the week, including boarding and daycare. When a dog is staying with me, they aren’t just being left somewhere while their family is away. I make time for interaction, exercise, outdoor breaks, and rest throughout the day while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the way I’d want someone to treat mine—with patience, attention, affection, and respect for the instructions you provide. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing and enjoy your time away without wondering whether they’re okay. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine because I have dogs of my own. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I’m active and enjoy getting dogs outside for walks and playtime, while also making sure they have plenty of time to relax. I can follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine as closely as possible so being away from home feels comfortable and familiar. Safety is my priority whenever someone trusts me with their dog. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for supervised play, exercise, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I also have dogs of my own, so introductions with visiting dogs are always handled carefully and supervised. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, triggers, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. I’ll follow your preferences for walks, crates, medications, sleeping arrangements, and interaction with other pets. You’ll also receive regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and being treated like part of the family.
“Stephanie and Luis did an amazing job dog sitting! Communication was great from start to finish, and they kept me updated with pictures, which really put my mind at ease. They were so welcoming and even created a special space in their home for Coco and Chloe. I’d definitely trust them and rebook again!”
“Christian is always soo sweet and takes care of our 2 doggies so well! They always look forward to going to see her!!! We have used daycare and boarding with Christian and the doggies leave happy and healthy!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bristol
Madalyn and her family went above and beyond for our little guy. They took exceptional care of our dog who has history of separation anxiety and used their knowledge and skills to make sure that our boy felt like safe and free of anxiety and boy, did it work! I am so overjoyed that I found an individual who I can rely on to make my pup feel safe and happy!
Stephanie and Robert are AMAZING !!! We were nervous to drop our doggie off because he is a pound dog with severe anxiety but they took care of him like he was their own!. We got pics and updates throughout his stay. We were afraid he may not want to come home . We will definitely be using them every-time we leave town .

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 Bristol 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 Bristol.
<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 Bristol 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.
