“Julijai, Alejandra and Eduardo and Luis took very good care of my dog, They shared videos showing how much fun she was having with the other dogs and carefully gathered her things to be ready when I picked her up. I will be leaving my dog with them again soon for another 2-week period, in which I am confident that she will be cared for lovingly.”
“Great family! Sent lots of pictures to show me how comfortable my baby was with them. Made me feel so much better about his stay with them. Definitely will be using them again! Super flexible as well!”
“So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.”
“Bria took care of our 40 lb pooch for a long weekend in October. It seemed like Mocha had a great time. The fact that Bria owns a dog was a plus for Mocha, since they got along well. I think the starting point for a lot of services including pet sitting is good clear communication and this is a strength for Bria. She is easy to reach, easy to make arrangements with, and quick to follow-up. She is interested in a good experience for the pet and attentive to details regarding any particular pet, which puts an owner's mind at ease. Good frequency of photos during Mocha's stay to give us a sense that things were alright. Also Bria's location is great for Petworth area - convenient and near the center of things but with a nice peaceful section of neighborhood for walks. Overall great experience and we would recommend her and have Mocha with her again.”
“Eric was amazing! He took great care of Dallas and sent pictures throughout to keep me updated. Has amazing attention to detail and treated Dallas as if he were his own. 100% recommend!”
“Boarding our dog with Cal and Kelly was a great experience. They were very responsive, quickly set up a meet&greet when requested, and took great care of our pup. They have very thoughtfully set up their home to ensure the dogs in their care are safe and comfortable. We hope to book with them again!”
“Jacquline was very efficient with feedback and she sent pictures of bailey enjoying her time with Jacquline family. Jacquline is kind and loves animals. She and her daughter was the perfect match for bailey while I was on vacation. I would definitely work with Jacquline again.🥰🥰”
“Ms.Tanisha was amazing with my girl Bella! She recognized that Bella gets a bit anxious when away from me and allowed her time to get adjusted with her household. She sent a bunch of pictures, updates, and fast replies. If Bella had to stay away from home again I would choose her! Bella was definitely in good hands :)”
About: What Sets Me Apart I offer more than just a standard check-in or walk—I bring a lifetime of genuine animal love combined with specialized, hands-on experience to ensure your pets are safe, happy, and completely understood. Here is what makes my care unique: Senior & Special Needs Expertise: I have a deep understanding of senior pet care. Whether it’s managing medication schedules, recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, or just providing the extra patience and gentle pacing that older pets deserve, your senior companions are in incredibly safe hands. Puppy Training & Energy Management: Navigating the puppy phase requires consistent structure. I love working with young dogs to reinforce basic training, maintain potty routines, and channel all that amazing puppy energy into positive, healthy habits. Multi-Pet & Diverse Species Experience: My home is a sanctuary for all kinds of animals. From handling high-energy dogs and independent cats to caring for unique exotic pets like geckos, I understand the distinct body language and routine requirements of a truly diverse range of species. When your pets are with me, they aren't just being watched—they are being treated with the same deep respect, attentiveness, and family-level care that I give to my own. Pet care isn't just a side task for me—it’s seamlessly woven into the fabric of my daily and weekly structure. Because my routine centers around a flexible, home-based schedule, I am able to provide the consistent, attentive, and highly reliable care that pets thrive on. Here is how I integrate dedicated pet care into my routine: A Natural Part of My Day: Managing a busy, active household means I am already completely dialed into strict daily routines. Feeding schedules, fresh water refills, and multiple potty breaks are second nature to me and easily sync with your pet's specific internal clock. Built-in Movement and Fresh Air: I value keeping active and getting outside. Daily walks and high-energy playtime aren't chores—they are highlights of my schedule that allow me to give your dog the exercise, mental stimulation, and neighborhood exploration they need. Meticulous Environmental Care: Just as I maintain high standards for my own surroundings, keeping a spotless pet environment is part of my regular weekly rhythm. Daily litter box scooping, deep-cleaning food bowls, and organizing pet areas are deeply embedded in my normal cleaning habits. Evenings and Weekends for Quality Time: When the daytime rush winds down, my evenings and weekends are dedicated to winding down, too. This is when I love providing the quiet companionship, gentle grooming, and couch cuddles that keep pets feeling safe, loved, and part of the family while you're away. Because my life is set up to balance multiple priorities smoothly, your pet receives structured, dependable care without me ever having to rush their routine. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) When pets stay with me, they aren't kept in isolation—they become part of a structured, lively, and highly attentive household. Seamless Integration: I run my daily business from home, which means your pet enjoys constant human presence and supervision. They are integrated right into our daily rhythm of work, play, and relaxation. A Sanctuary for All Personalities: My home is designed to accommodate different comfort levels. If your dog loves a pack environment, they will have plenty of company. If they prefer a quiet corner to decompress, I have dedicated, cozy spaces where they can rest undisturbed. A Safe, Social Environment: With experienced resident pets of my own, I am highly skilled at managing animal dynamics. Introductions are always handled slowly and safely, ensuring everyone feels secure and respected in the space. Care in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) If your pet prefers the comfort of their own walls, my priority is maintaining absolute consistency, security, and cleanliness while you are away. Flawless Routine Replication: I follow your specific instructions to the letter. Whether it’s feeding at an exact timestamp, following a precise walking route, or administering medication, I ensure your pet's internal clock and habits aren't disrupted. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with the utmost respect. In addition to keeping your pets happy, I ensure their environment stays pristine—handling meticulous litter box maintenance, keeping feeding areas spotless, and making sure everything looks exactly how you left it. Security and Peace of Mind: You will receive regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you never have to wonder how things are going. I also keep a vigilant eye on the security of your home, ensuring doors are locked, mail is brought in if requested, and the property is secure.
“Merritt had a great time staying with Jessica and Max. Jessica set me photos throughout the stay, which provided confirmation that he had settled in quickly and was having a great time. I will definitely be utilizing her services again.”
“María and Fernando took great care of our dog during his first stay with them. They are attentive, kind, and clearly love dogs. This was our first time leaving him with them, and we were very happy to see that he adjusted well and made new doggy friends. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands, and we’re looking forward to having him stay with them again for a full week soon.”
“Marlin was awesome while watching my cat Buckeye. She really put me at ease about leaving her with a sitter for the first time. Marlin was quick to ask questions and respond when needed, even provided me updates on how my cat was doing. I would absolutely recommend Marlin as a sitter to anyone in need and will be booking again in the future. Thanks Marlin!”
“We have had Sharon watch our dog for such a longtime. We left on a week long international trip and had the peace of mind to know she was watching her. She treats my dog as her own. Sharon has loads of experience and I would highly recommend her. Thank you Sharon!!!”
“Amazing isn’t even the word. My Cross was spoiled, loved on like he was her own, and cared for beyond my expectations. As soon as I met her I had no worries and he was very well taken care of to the point I thought he may not want to come home lol. She is the best.”
“Masha and her family took the best care of Hoagie!! They handled all of her quirks and needs, and gave her such a fun long weekend of hikes and snuggles. We would highly recommend them, and hope they’ll watch hoagie again soon’! Thank you so much, Masha!!”
“I recently had a fantastic experience boarding my dogs with Fredis, and I couldn't be happier with the care they received. They took the time to ask about my dogs' specific needs, routines, and personalities, which made me feel confident they would be well looked after. I will definitely be using Fredis again in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, caring place to board their pets.”
“Nettie was a wonderful sitter for my cat Tippy! Tippy had her own space completely separate from the dogs, a large cat tree and other furniture to climb and sleep on, and multiple windows to look out of — one of which had a bird feeder right outside for cat tv. Nettie is very caring and attentive - she played with Tippy a lot and sent me tons of pictures and videos. Would not hesitate to have her take care of Tippy again!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitters! Great communication with us. They sent me photos of Theo during the week I was away and Theo returned home happy! They treated him like family! Thank you Bob and Pam!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burtonsville
Matthew came to the rescue when I needed someone last minute to board my furbaby when I had to leave for work and needed a sitter in time. He was responsive within minutes for a next day request as well as a last minute extension! I’m very grateful and my dog clearly loved his time with Matthew and his family. Highly recommend and would definitely use his services again!
Karen and Dale were great and I’d highly recommend them to use! We will definitely use them again when needed. They were great with their communication and gave daily updates with a picture or video. It was clear they care about their dogs and the rover pups! The outdoor space is great and it was clear my dog had a blast with them.
Melvin and his wife are just fantastic! Our Kiko is still very hesitant around other dogs, and really hated life the one time we had to board her. So glad we found Melvin, who took care of her with compassion, and seemed as interested in her welfare as we we are. I'm sure that Kiko will be overjoyed the next time she gets to spend a vacation with the guy we are already referring to as Uncle Melvin. Book with confidence.
Our two dogs and one cat had a great time with Erin! She accommodated our nervous dog by introducing him slowly to others, and accommodated our tripod by putting down plenty of mats for him to walk on as his one front foot sometimes slips on hard, smooth floors and he gets scared. She made sure they had what they needed and were comfortable, which allowed me to relax on my vacation knowing they were well taken care of. Thank you Erin!

94% of sitters in Burtonsville 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.

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 Burtonsville 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 Burtonsville.
<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 Burtonsville 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 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.
