âMy dogs had a great stay! Denise even got my picky dog to eat from a dish. I have a very hard time with. Her eating. The pictures of my dogs relaxing with the family gave me peace of mind so that I could enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend Denise.â

âTina was a fantastic sitter for our 10-year old pup! She is clearly a âdog personâ 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!â


âHaley is the best! She accommodated my schedule & went above and beyond for my fur baby, Charlie. I was able to go on an overnight trip with no stress about how Charlie was doing.â

âEmily was truly amazing with my Samuel! I appreciated her willingness to meet before Sammys short stay with her. She showed a level of comfort with larger dogs that I appreciate it! She even went as far as buying extra pumpkin with his stool was soft during his stay, and worked on tricks with him, when it rained. Thank you, Emily! I will definitely be a repeat customer.â

âSarah and her family were great!! She made my dog feel so comfortable at home. Sarah was very communicative during Ariâs stay sending photos and updates. I felt so comfortable with Ari in her care.â

âLori was amazing! Plenty of communication while Jake was there! Multiple pictures and videos daily! Jake was well cared for and got plenty of exercise! Will definitely be booking Jake with Lori for all our future travel!â

About: I've been a government K9 Handler since 2014. I have worked with dogs all different sizes and temperaments. I am trained in K9 Paramedicine and know the signs of an emergency and able to provide care and life saving measures before getting to a vet. I work early and get home early so I provide breaks before work, after work and throughout the evening. I only walk one k9 at a time to ensure safety for the K9 and myself. I have multiple crates in my house on different levels of my house. I keep the pets in separate cages so no incidents can happen. I have my own crates or ppl can provide their own.

About: I am an attorney and work from home 3 days per week. I have had many different kinds of dogs since I was a kid, but the big ones are my favorite :) I received training in positive reinforcement for dogs and taught classes at Petsmart throughout college. Iâm available for walks, drop in visits and boarding at my house. We have a one level home with a fenced in yard, and cuddles on the couch and bed are welcome! Your pet would have to be comfortable with getting loved on by two little boys - ages 6 and 1. They are very gentle and always supervised. We recently lost our black lab and are looking for all the pet lovin â¤ď¸ I work from home 3 days per week and am available on weekends for regular drop in visits or boarding at my house, with a fenced in yard. We recently lost our black lab so I would be happy to love on your fur babies. I have a fenced backyard and love going on walks! We have a park near our house with a walking trail as well.

âWe couldnât have asked for a better sitter for Dash and Pepsi! From start to finish, the service was absolutely top-tier. She cared for our babies as if they were her own, and that peace of mind means everything. Her communication was outstanding â consistent updates, messages, and reassurance throughout the weekend. We always knew how Dash and Pepsi were doing, which made it so much easier to relax while we were away. Professional, dependable, and genuinely caring. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again! đžâ


âIt was obvious that Christine genuinely loves the dogs she looks after. She gave Gordon a no-rush meet-and-greet and let him get used to her house. She had lots of amenities for dogs, including toys and treats, and was careful to ask good questions about Gordonâs habits and preferences. Christine also gave daily updates including videos and photos, which really helped us realize how our little guy was fitting in. We would be happy to let Gordon stay with Christine again in the future!â


âI just wanted to take a moment to share my fantastic experience with Melissa, who took care of my dog, Sky. From the get-go, it was clear that Melissa is an absolute dog lover! When I dropped Sky off, she instantly made me feel at ease. You can tell she really knows what sheâs doing. Melissa has three dogs of her own, and they were all friendly and welcoming. It didnât take long for Sky to fit right in and start playing with them. I loved how well they got along; it was a great relief to see my pup so happy and engaged with other dogs. When I picked Sky up, she was exhausted but so joyful! It was obvious she had an awesome time with Melissa and her dogs. I couldnât have asked for a better caregiver for my furry friend. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a loving and safe place for their pets. Thanks, Melissa! You truly made Skyâs day! đžâ

âMonica was a great caretaker for our Levi. She sent multiple photos a day, was very communicative, and even had a report card at the end of each day. Levi got plenty of exercise and got so comfortable there. Would definitely book again!â


About: Iâve had experience in pet sitting for minimum 10 years. Attention to detail and care for pets needs come first. Restrictions if any are considered as well. Morning, mid day, and evening walks are a must. As well as feeding, as frequent or less as needed. Pets will remain hydrated and have ample play time and relaxation time throughout the day. I offer a fenced yard with a seperate play area inside of home dedicated to pets. There will be ample space inside, or outside of home for pets to flourish and plenty of dog parks available if preferred.
âOur first time using Rover, we traveled to the D.C area in our RV and needed someone to watch our fur baby overnight while we toured the area. I contacted Elissa about month prior and she was very responsive. We did a meet & greet the day before the stay and our boy went right up to her and was very relaxed, he can be a bit particular about people. Elissa made us feel at ease. During his stay she sent us pictures and we couldn't of been more please. We sincerely appreciate her and she did a great job with our instructions. If anyone needs their dogs watched do not hesitate to contact her, we highly recommend her services!!â

âAnother great boarding experience with Lily. Christianna & Mary B always take such great care of her and bonus three other dogs were there for Lily to interact with a great weather too to exercise a lot. Thanks again.â

âMorgan was very communicative and flexible, willing to accommodate my schedule at the last minute as well as Buddy's reserved nature. He sent updates to let me know how Buddy was doing, which I really appreciated. I'll definitely be reaching out to him on the future!â

Sarah was absolutely amazing! She watched my dog I.V. for 12 days, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the start, her communication was excellentâshe sent plenty of pictures, daily updates, and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Most importantly, I.V. was cared for like she was one of her own. She was happy, healthy, and clearly loved during her entire stay. Sarah went above and beyond in every way, and we are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided. I would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter. We will absolutely book with her againâsheâs a gem! đžđ

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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Bull Run can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Bull Run 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 Bull Run.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Bull Run sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
