“Terri had great communication and we were able to do a meet and greet before the stay. She sent us great pictures and updates and would greatly recommend her to watch your pets!”
“Kacy and Justin were amazing with our fur baby! We were a bit anxious about leaving our puppy for the first time (especially for a full week), but Kacy and Justin helped ease our anxiety. They are very kind and provided daily updates with videos and photos. And they were very flexible when our flight was delayed and we were a bit late for pick-up. We would definitely recommend them and will be using them for any future dog boarding services!”
“Karen was extremely nice, very welcoming of our pup Milo! she kept me updated with videos and pics which really showed how happy and safe Milo was! I really recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her in a future😊😊”
“Chris and Gerry are so nice, loving, and kind. My girls felt at ease while staying with them. It helps that they only take one client at a time. If you are looking for someone to love your babies like their own, look no further. Definitely book with Chris and Gerry!”
“I’m so glad to have found Stephanie’s place! I can tell they are very caring people who took good care of Buttercup. I received texts and pics of my Buttercup everyday which made me feel at ease of how my dog was doing. Definitely will book again in future.”
“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!!”
“Ellen is a phenomenal sitter. Athena has stayed with her twice and there are always other pups for her to play with and so much space. Ellen has no issue at all maintaining multiple dogs! Athena is always so happy at drop off and pickup, and needs a big nap after her stay from all the fun! We look forward to booking again!!”
About: Have watched family and friends’ dogs in my home for years. Currently have 2 family dogs of different sizes and ages. Range of experience. Lots of walking, playtime and snuggles. I’m home during the day and can adjust my daily schedule to the needs of the dog. My kids are in school during the day so it’s quiet during the day. I have a fenced in yard with room for dogs to play and take care of business. I have 2 dogs at home so your dog will never be alone. My kids and younger dog loves to play. The neighborhood is full of walking paths for walks.
About: I have recently relocated to Frederick, Maryland from California after recently retiring & wanting to be closer to family <3 I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits, including senior and special-needs pets and animals requiring medications. I currently have a French Bulldog, four cats, and a rabbit of my own, so caring for multiple animals with different personalities, routines, and needs is part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding and care instructions, providing walks and enrichment, and recognizing changes in an animal’s behavior or health. I’ve also volunteered with animal shelters in both California and North Carolina. I worked as a first responder for almost 14 years, I’m dependable, trustworthy, safety-conscious, and take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pets very seriously. I’m retired with a completely flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be accommodated throughout my day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays for boarding, doggy daycare, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I provide a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I have a fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of indoor space, including separate areas when a visiting pet needs their own quiet space away from my animals. I’m experienced with medications, senior and special-needs pets, and will closely follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions. I will treat your animals as if they were my own while I am trusted with their care. As a retired first responder, safety, responsibility, trust, and attention to detail are extremely important to me. 🐶😺🐰🏡🐾
“Kate and John were excellent with Winston. Before boarding with them they graciously agreed to meet Winston and ensure he was comfortable at their home. During his visit, Winston was spoiled with play time and naps on the bed. Kate is very responsive and always made sure to send pictures and videos of our boy while we were away. Kate and John even let us pick Winston up earlier, when we arrived home 2 hours ahead of schedule. I would recommend Kate and John to anyone that is nervous about leaving their puppy with someone else. Thanks Kate and John!”
“both of our dogs seemed well cared for. His property has plenty of space for the dogs to run and he took them for walks in the woods, which I’m sure they enjoyed. I would consider boarding our dogs with him again.”
“Jaxon, his dogs, and his family were great. Bonnie has sensitive skin and it needs to be looked after and they did a good job. She seemed happy to be there. He sent pics and videos from time to time and was quick to respond. I would absolutely have her join this family again!”
“We had such a great experience with Joanne and she took such great care of our dog even with a very last minute booking. We are so glad we found her, highly recommend!”
“Kathryn and her family took great care of our Banjo and he loved romping around with their dogs. In fact, I think we now have to get our dog his own dog. 😆 They kept us updated on how Banjo was doing and I could tell he enjoyed having dog buddies, human siblings, and a large fenced yard for zoomies. Thanks again, Kathryn & family!”
“Mindy cared for our dog, Shanti, and our cat, Anora, for three weeks - and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly dependable. She took the time to understand both of their unique personalities and needs, and it was clear how much genuine care and attention she and her partner gave them. Her home is beautiful and welcoming, and their spacious, secure backyard was a dream for Shanti to enjoy during his stay. Knowing they were in such a peaceful and pet-friendly environment made all the difference. Mindy kept us updated with messages and photos, and when we returned, both Shanti and Anora were happy and clearly very well loved. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, loving, and truly attuned. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again - she’s an absolute gem.”
“Jennifer is amazing! She was caring and her family loved my dog during his stay as my family would love him. Definitely recommend her services and she’s in my corner for another pet stay if I have to go somewhere in the future with no hesitation.”
“Our Hendrix was well loved during his stay with this family. I received updates and pictures along with a video of him playing with the children. Tail wagging and quite talkative during my pickup I knew he was left in good hands big and small. I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.”

Hank’s home away from home. He is always welcomed with so much love and attention — this time he didn’t even want to get in the car to come back! As an “old man” with hip problems, Hank needs a little extra care, and this wonderful family always caters to his needs with patience, affection, and genuine kindness. The pictures tell the whole story. It is incredibly reassuring to know he is treated with such tenderness and handled so gently. I’m grateful every time Hank stays with them.
Juan took great care of my pups while we were away for a few days — I received frequent photo updates, he took them on long walks, let them run freely at the dog park, and provided a comfy dog bed for their stay. I’m pretty sure my goldendoodle was disappointed to leave Juan and come back home, lol. When I picked them up they were the most calm, well-rested, and not dehydrated — it’s usually the opposite when I’ve picked them up from boarding or a sitter in the past. I’ll definitely book with Juan again in the future!
Christina, her son Zachary, and their dog coco were amazing! Diggs came to her house with an upset stomach to start the trip and Christina was kind enough to even offer to take Diggs to his vet while we were gone if his stomach issues continued. She had a great introductory method for the dogs, she even took Diggs on walks when he isn’t the easiest dog around to walk as he is very reactive (he’s very nice but pulls and is mouthy). Diggs came back tired which is always a good sign for us that he had a great time! Would highly recommend trusting your dog with Christina and her family.

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 Buckeystown 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 Buckeystown 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 Buckeystown.
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.
You and your Buckeystown 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.
