“Our pet Otis had an absolutely amazing time with Daniele a d her family. Well cared for and lots of attention. I highly recommend Daniele's services and plan to be a repeat customer!”
“Pei, you were honestly amazing. You handled keo like a champ and even had more buddies for him to play with other than the one and only Oscar of course! I think you’ve taught me a lot in terms of what keo is capable of because of the environment that you exposed him to and I am very grateful for that. You treated Keo like family, and updated me everyday on how he was doing with all the adventures that he went on. I am really grateful for your help and I will definitely come back to you if Keo needs a little vacation again :)”
“I left him for a week when on vacation and will definitely leave him again. Mariella took excellent care of my dog, plenty of updates and he was very happy. he got plenty of walks and play time. she and her family definitely know how to treat a dog. Zuzu says hi BTW :)”
“Dana and Kev were absolutely amazing. Our little black pug, Leylah, is not easy to deal with, as she has a lot of anxiety and barks around new people. I am an anxious dog mom and often feel bad when I have to leave my girl somewhere because I know she can be a handful. Dana and Kev were so kind and tolerant. We got frequent updates and reassurances. I am very particular about who I leave Ley with and I would 100% send her there again. :)”
“Michelle was a wonderful sitter for Elphie. Over the weekend, I received numerous updates and photos about Elphies stay. Michelle made me feel completely comfortable and her kiddos gave Elphie so much love. Would highly recommend!”
“Thank you for watching Pete! Pete spent a week with Shannon while I was away. Shannon kept me updated daily, sent pictures, followed all instructions, and provided Pete with so much love. Her home is tidy and neat - a safe place for all pets. I will definitely book with Shannon again! Thank you for a seamless experience :)”
“Lindsay was so great with Joey! I got lots of updates and pictures, I felt very at ease leaving him in her care. Would highly recommend and would love to leave Joey with her again in the future!”
“Kayla was flexible and great at communicating. She did a great job with my stubborn senior dog. She gave him the space he needed to settle in, which he seemed to quite quickly from the many photos she sent. Her house was well set up for dogs. I would absolutely book with her again.”
About: Your dog isn’t just a guest here; they are our absolute priority and a beloved part of our family. We offer a highly tailored, premium experience designed around your dog's unique personality, age, and energy level. Our Experience & Special Skills: • Professional Background: Years ago, I ran a doggy daycare taking care of multiple active dogs a day. I understand the care required to keep dogs safe and happy. • Senior & Puppy Care: We recently raised our own active dog through a long, beautiful life, so we are familiar with senior care, gentle pacing, and medication schedules. Conversely, if you have a puppy, we know how to balance fun with quiet time. • Full-Time Availability: I am home full-time. The only time I leave is for a brief school run. If your small/medium dog loves car rides, they are welcome to join me as Co-Pilot! Our 90-Acre Paradise & Fenced Yards: • Multiple Fenced Areas: We have a large fenced backyard and a fenced front yard for secure, worry-free play. • 90+ Acres of Trails: For dogs with excellent recall (and owner permission), we offer incredible off-leash trail walks through our private woods and fields. • 100% Leash-Compliant: If you prefer your dog stay on-leash, we happily accommodate that while still exploring our massive property. A Tailored, Family Experience: Our family genuinely loves dogs. My two children (ages 8 and 10) are gentle, experienced with pets, and eager to provide endless cuddles or fetch sessions. Whether your dog needs hours of active play, long trail hikes, or just wants to snooze on the couch and be pampered, we customize our entire day to them. We treat your dog like our own and will send you frequent photo and video updates so you can see just how much fun they are having on their custom vacation! A Day of Custom Care, Companionship, and 90-Acre Adventures Because I am a stay-at-home parent, pet care isn't something I squeeze into my day—your dog becomes the centerpiece of my daily routine. My schedule is entirely flexible, allowing me to mirror your dog's exact routine at home, whether they crave high-energy outdoor tracking or a quiet day of snoozing on the couch. Morning Routine: • 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM: Wake up, breakfast, and our first major outdoor activity. Depending on your dog's preferences, this is either a long, scenic walk/run through our 90 acres of trails and fields, or a fun fetch session in our large fenced backyard. • 8:30 AM: A brief 20-minute departure for school drop-off. Small or medium dogs who love car rides are welcome to come along as my co-pilot! Mid-Day Attention & Play: • 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM: I am home full-time. This block is dedicated to companionship, potty breaks in the fenced yards, and customized attention. High-energy dogs get extra playtime, while puppies or senior dogs get dedicated quiet time in a cozy corner or their crate to prevent overstimulation. Late Afternoon & Evening Family Fun: • 3:30 PM: Another quick 20-minute school pick-up run (again, car-loving pups can join!). • 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Our second major outdoor session. My 8 and 10-year-old children are home and eager to help brush, pet, play fetch, or walk the trails with our guest. • 6:00 PM onward: Dinner, relaxing in the living room as a family, and endless evening cuddles. By keeping my client count low and being home all day, I ensure your dog is constantly supervised, thoroughly entertained, and treated like a VIP member of our family. I will be supervising all interactions, especially when my kids are home. 🛡️ Safety-First Care in Our Secure, 90-Acre Dog Haven We exclusively offer care in our own home, where we have designed a secure, stress-free environment tailored to your dog's safety and emotional well-being. Because I am home full-time, your dog is under constant, active supervision. Secure Fencing & Boundary Management: • Multiple Fenced Yards: For quick potty breaks and secure playtime, we utilize our large fenced backyard and our fenced front yard. Dogs are supervised while in these areas. • On-Leash vs. Off-Leash Safety: On our 90 acres of private trails and fields, dogs default to being safely on-leash. We only transition to off-leash exploration if you explicitly authorize it and your dog demonstrates flawless recall. If you prefer your dog stay on-leash, they will remain on a leash at all times—no exceptions. A Controlled, Stress-Free Home Environment: • Custom Boundaries: We treat your pet like family, meaning they have full access to our comfortable living spaces. However, if your dog is accustomed to specific rules at home (e.g., no furniture, sleeping in a crate), we strictly reinforce those boundaries to maintain consistency. • Child Safety & Interaction: My 8 and 10-year-old children are experienced and respectful with dogs. They know when to offer love, and when to give a dog space - and if ever in doubt, I will be there keeping a watchful eye to make sure your furry family member is as happy and well-cared-for as possible. • Preventing Overstimulation: Puppies and high-energy dogs can over-exert themselves with too much activity and excitement. I monitor behavior and ensure your dog gets any needed quiet time, either in their crate or in a peaceful, dedicated corner of the house to rest and recharge. Daytime hours are often very calm with children at school. Open Communication & Peace of Mind: We understand how hard it is to leave your baby behind. To give you total peace of mind, we send frequent text, photo, and video updates throughout the day so you can see exactly how safe, happy, and relaxed your pup is. I operate as an independent, individual pet sitter, and all professional care, feeding, and management are provided exclusively by me. While my children enjoy interacting with our guest pets, they do so strictly under my constant, direct supervision.
“This was our dog's first experience with a dog sitter and we were ALL nervous! Shelly made us feel very comfortable and took such great care of our pup. We were very grateful to have pictures and updates throughout the evening to reassure us and really appreciated her flexibility, kindness and responsiveness. Thank you very much”
“John was fantastic with Macie! He asked all of the right questions prior to Macie’s boarding date and provided adequate updates on how she was doing on her stay. I would recommend John to take care of your dog through boarding”
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing with Bruno! 🥹❤️ I was really nervous leaving him because he has pretty bad separation anxiety, but she made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated throughout the night. Bruno settled in so well with her! It was such a relief knowing he was safe, comfortable and being taken care of while I was at work. I would definitely recommend Alyssa to anyone and would absolutely have her watch Bruno again!”
“We are extremely happy we had to leave our home with short noses and with no hesitation Randi helped us oh and Trip had a ball And I was sleeping because he’s exhausted all the fun he had with her and your family”
“This was our dog’s first stay with Stephanie and Brandon and it went so well! They were warm and welcoming and helped him settle in right away. They provided ample updates throughout his time there and he looked thrilled and right at home in all of them. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again in the future. Thank you both for everything!”
About: I have been working with fostering, walking pets and help them find homes since 2022, I know the care they need and I would love to take care of them for you, I know it’s hard on who to trust when your pet needs care and I can assure you I would treat them with as much love as I would do with my own pet❤️. I’ve been taking care of some of the sweetest fur babies for a year here on Rover and wouldn’t have it any other way, the additional experience that I’ve gained in this past two years I wouldn’t change it for anything! Excited to meet and work together with your best friend!🐾 I’m currently studying part-time so I have plenty of time to play and walk with your dog! If you need help on the weekends I can help you or if you need boarding on the weekdays I’m also available! I try to make them feel comfortable with me in their own space, I would play with them a lot so when you get home from work they will be more calm (trust me I know they have a lot of energy). But if your pet is relaxed we can also relax, if you want we can go on walks, play games that are stimulating for them, follow the diet you’re giving him. Whatever is best for your fur baby.
“This is my 2nd time booking with Carmen. My dog remembered her right away and seemed to ease right back in. She sends such lovely updates and great pics. My partner and I got to enjoy our vacation completely stress free🤩.”
“Prashant & Apeksha were amazing taking care of our dog Harper. They shared lots photos and videos and gave her lots of attention. We’re planning on using them again while we’re away next week!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Aikensville
We were very happy with Pei's boarding service. She was very is calming, cheerful, and attentive to our dog's needs. She provided plenty of exercise and stimulation. Updates we're provided regularly, including great photos. We will definitely use her services again, and highly recommend her.
Pei went absolutely above and beyond in caring for my dog, Louisa. Louisa is a nervous mastiff and can be quite particular, so finding someone I trust with her is no small thing, and Pei exceeded every expectation. From the start, Pei created such a calm and welcoming environment. Louisa was given the time and space she needed to settle in at her own pace, and it was clear she felt safe to gradually explore, enjoy the trails, and grow more comfortable each day. Pei kept me consistently updated, which gave me huge peace of mind. The updates were thorough, reassuring, and showed not just experience, but genuine care and affection for Louisa. What really stood out was the extra effort and attention to detail. Louisa is an extremely fussy eater, and Pei took the time to make thoughtful adjustments, adding toppings, adapting her meals, and ensuring she stayed well fed and happy. That kind of effort meant so much. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel incredibly relieved and grateful to have found such a wonderful “home away from home” for my sensitive girl.
Pei, you were honestly amazing. You handled keo like a champ and even had more buddies for him to play with other than the one and only Oscar of course! I think you’ve taught me a lot in terms of what keo is capable of because of the environment that you exposed him to and I am very grateful for that. You treated Keo like family, and updated me everyday on how he was doing with all the adventures that he went on. I am really grateful for your help and I will definitely come back to you if Keo needs a little vacation again :)

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 postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Aikensville 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 favourite hang-out spots in your Aikensville
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
