“First time booking, will definitely book again the next time we need dog boarding in this area! Renee had fantastic communication, was super friendly, took care with introducing our dogs, and just plain made Greta and me super happy. Highly recommend!”
About: I believe animals are essential to human health. I have had pets for as long as I have been alive. I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, a horse, a pony, and 2 alpacas. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play. I telework, so I am home most of the day with my fur babies. With my variety of fur babies, I have a seamless regular daily routine for pet care. Because I telework, I am home most of the day. I have a very large fenced yard with lots of room to run and play. I spend most of my day in the company of my fur babies.
“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!”
“John and Jess were absolutely amazing with our Shih Tzus, Oliver and Khloe! This was the first time we’d left them since my husband passed away, so it was an emotional experience for my family. They were incredibly compassionate, kept us updated with photos and messages every day, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our babies were happy, safe, and loved. They treated Oliver and Khloe like family, and their communication was outstanding from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters. I will definitely be booking with them again very soon. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, trustworthy people to care for their pets.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone who wasn’t family and I would 100000000% rebook with Sam. Sam sent me pictures everyday while I was gone and gave me updates on how Blue was doing. She took such good care of my dog and if there was a 10 star option that would be my rating. 😊”
“Mandie was wonderful and helped us with a six day stay with very short notice. Communication was perfect with quick responses and frequent updates with pictures. We definitely recommend Mandie and will surely be back!”
“Priscila was amazing! She went above and beyond for my cat, and she was so honest and helpful the entire time she had Mary. She even drove 40 minutes each way to pick my cat up from the kennel! She is an accommodating and trustworthy petsitter! Choose her!”
“Puppy party! I was worried my 80lb handful of a puppy was gonna be Trouble but Ashley did amazing with him! I got several pictures over our few day boarding and she was super nice and easy to deal with. She was babysitting a few other dogs at the same time but you could tell she paid attention to them individually enough to discribe how my dog sleeps lol Couldn't recommend her more!”
“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!”
“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😊😊”
“Could not have asked for a better experience. I could tell my dog was well loved and cared for. Tara has great communication and provided daily pictures and updates. We will definitely use her time and time again.”
“We are so lucky to have found Christina. It was our first time leaving our 2 year old standard poodle with her and we were a little nervous about leaving him for 2 weeks. She sent pictures when we asked for some and he seemed very happy in the pictures and when we picked him up. She is very friendly and personable. I am about to rebook with her and hope to use her again.”
“Jaclyn took great care of our 7mth old puppy while we were away. It was our first time leaving him so we were a little nervous, but receiving updates and pictures was reassuring. It was a last minute booking so we were was so glad she was flexible and able to accommodate us for boarding.”
“Iesha and her family were great! She took Brody on such a short notice. I appreciate the meet and greet with her dog Luca before making my decision. I was able to enjoy my time away! Thank you so much!”
“Teo had a very happy and fun vacation with Connor. He became best friends with his dog and played a lot. I highly recommend him. Very caring and flexible. Teo will go back! Thanks :)”
“Matt was super easy to work with and took good care of our Aussie, who was hesitant to leave him when we went to pick her up! It’s so nice to find a dog sitter who works from home like we do. Highly recommend Matt.”
“This was Duncans second visit with Ali, he stayed over two weeks this time. He came back to me happy, healthy and showed no signs of stress at all. The daily pictures sent to me indicated he was having a fabulous time, enjoying Ali’s family and all the love provided. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of. Once again I can highly recommend Ali, she is wonderful!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burkittsville
Leah was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear they were treated like part of the family. She provided a warm, caring environment that made them feel completely at home, and we had total peace of mind while we were away. We came back to two happy, relaxed pups, which says everything about the level of care she provides. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Leah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!
Leah was just fantastic! I had a situation arise that precipitated the need to find someplace for my two boys a.s.a.p. and I am so thankful she was available. She treated them like her own, and they got along well with her two little fur babies too. They must've had a LOT of fun pn her beautiful property because they basically slept for the next 24 hours. So happy to have found Leah and it's great that she is so close too.

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 Burkittsville 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 Burkittsville.
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 Burkittsville 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.
