“My dog is a bit scared of strangers. We tried one day with Rodney and as I picked up Zuri, she was already friendly with Rodney. I got pictures of my dog playing with his dogs. Rodney replies quickly to any question pre booking and during the stay. Thanks for taking care of Zuri!”
“Mila took such wonderful, heartfelt care of my dog. She kept me updated with photos and great communication, which gave me so much peace of mind. I am incredibly grateful for how attentively she looked after my dog, and I truly feel lucky to have found such an amazing sitter.”
“Marwa and Casey took such good care of our pup! Their communication was excellent and we enjoyed getting pictures of him throughout his stay. We are very thankful for their love, patience, and understanding of our pup as he has really bad anxiety. Marwa understood his needs and met them in perfectly. We hope he can stay again in the future!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our puppy dog received from Jena! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. We received daily updates with videos and pictures, which were such a comforting touch and really showed how much fun he was having. It was clear he was being treated like one of the family. When he came home, he was happy, healthy—and completely exhausted from all the playtime and attention! We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Phyo took great care of my dog & was very nice. Gave her a bath & updated me with photos while I was away . Has enough space for the dog to roam around . For me using the rover app for the first time I was nervous, but phyo made it very easy . 5 stars ⭐️”
“Extremely responsive and kind. Sent us cute pictures and updates during his stay! We could relax knowing he was so well taken care of and loved. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Melissa was a perfect fit for our pup. Her two dogs are wonderful, and our dog had a great time. I’m not even sure she missed us!! Would definitely have Melissa watch our dog in the future.”
“Ariel is amazing with my dog - Fluffy. Fluffy seems to really like her and is very happy to be dropped off there. I trust Ariel completely and highly recommend her!”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Carla was an excellent dog sitter. She was kind, responsive, communicative, and I could tell how much she cared for dogs and my guy, Eli. I would highly highly recommend her and her family. Thank you, Carla!”
“Nicole is very nice, easy to work with. Her updates with pictures gave us peace of mind. She always quickly texted back. Our dog seemed like he had a good time. Thanks!”
“Keyona was great with my 6 year old Shih Tzu. My mind was at ease with knowing he was in good hands, considering he’s never been with anyone other than a family member. She sent pictures and videos each day, which was a plus. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Bo and I feel so fortunate to have found Felice! We used her for the first time this past weekend. I was nervous because Bo has the worse separation anxiety and would literally stop eating while he is away from me. But as soon as we met Felice I could tell he liked her and her home. Well, Felice took such great care of him that he finished the food I sent with him! (Which is a first!!!) Felice kept me updated with lots of pictures of him and he looked very comfortable and HAPPY! He came home vibrant and content! I could tell he really enjoyed his stay in her home! I already told Felice I plan to use her again.”
“Kimberly is absolutely amazing! She cared for Rome this weekend and was so accommodating, especially since he wasn’t feeling his best. She went above and beyond to nurse him back to feeling better and kept me updated throughout the entire weekend. Her love, patience, and genuine care for Rome give us such peace of mind. This is exactly why we always book with Kimberly! We couldn’t ask for a better sitter! ❤️🐾”
“Kellyn took great care of our dog! We appreciated the periodic updates. I can tell that she went above and beyond in making sure Mariner was safe and comfortable. We look forward to booking again!”
“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”
“Steph couldn’t have been any more perfect for our dog, Remy! It was the first time we left a pet with a non-family member but I felt completely comfortable. Steph even has a doggie-sofa in her living area. I could tell from our first meet and greet that she was in tune with dog behavior. Her dogs are the sweetest hosts too! When we picked up Remy, I could just tell that she had a wonderful weekend. I really appreciate having a reliable, loving place to take Remy when needed.”
“Another wonderful stay with Danielle! Coco is always happy and so well cared for when she stays with her. Danielle continues to be our go-to whenever we need a home away from home for Coco!”

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 Butler 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 Butler.
<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 Butler 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.
