“Andy and his family were wonderful boarding our two mini goldendoodles for several days. He sent pictures every day and both dogs looked very happy. While the dogs were happy to see us when we picked them up, they also kept running over to Andy to show their love. He took great care of our fur babies and we look forward to boarding with him again!!”
“Diana and her family took wonderful care of our Goldendoodle for six days. It was our first time leaving him with a pet sitter, so we were quite nervous. From the moment we met Diana, her warm, friendly and caring personality immediately put us at ease. She kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of photos, videos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she cared for our dog as if he were her own. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Thank you Jackson for taking such good care of my pets on such short notice. What a great place for the pups to stay. Enclosed backyard gave them the freedom they need but Jackson also followed my instructions on not having the dogs off leash as they have a bad habit of taking off. Will definitely use Jackson again when the pets need a place to stay.”
“Evan was a great sitter for my older dog, Dempsey! He took great care of him and kept me informed of how he was doing. Evan has a genuine love for dogs and did a wonderful job!”
“Aashna and Sidhanth were absolutely wonderful. They took very good care of Montana. Montana stayed with them for one night in anticipation of a longer stay in December. I know Montana is looking forward to seeing them again.”
“Noah was amazing with my high energy dog. He provided tons of exercise and picture updates and made me feel comfortable and safe leaving my baby with him. He followed my care instructions to the T, and I came home to a healthy, happy, and tired pup. In addition, he reinforced training and provided a safe space for my dog to rest in a crate. His dogs are also super sweet and got along very well with mine. Would definitely recommend Noah as a dogsitter!”
“Roxanna and her family are so sweet and lovely. They took excellent care of our pup. So thankful for her attention to detail, photos, updates and treating Chelsea like one of the family. I felt completely at ease leaving her with Roxanna.”
“Chad and his wife were really professional and agreed to meet Vigo before taking care of him. They asked really good questions before his stay, which goes to show that they really care about your pet. When we had a really unexpected late arrival at the end of our trip, Chad was super flexible and communicative. A really great first stay!”
“Sush and her family were soooo loving to my little man! He loved getting play time with her children and other pup. Thank you so so much for your flexibility and loving him ❤️”
“Dave took great care of Penny while we were away for 10 days. Dave made the whole process very easy and was great to work with. We got daily updates with photos, and peace of mind knowing Penny was in good hands and sticking to her routine. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Dave followed the care instructions well. Reliable, communicative, and great with dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out again for future trips and highly recommend Dave to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter!”
“We’re so thankful for Alex and Daniel. Ella adores them and we can always trust that when we’re away, she’s in the very best of hands under their care.”

“Kerstyn took amazing care of Taffy for 10 days while we were traveling internationally and she sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay! Taffy had a wonderful time playing with Freya and was clearly sad to leave! Kerstyn also did a great job managing Taffy's quirks with patience and care! We highly recommend Kerstyn; your dog will be in excellent hands with this caring sitter!”

“Mee Jeong is fantastic. She cared for my dog, Coda, for 7 days over Thanksgiving. She is very professional and knows what she is doing with dogs. She communicated regularly with great stories and pictures. I was so comfortable with her and so confident that Coda was receiving the best care. I highly recommend her.”
“Rachel was great with Frank! He really loved her and seemed so happy while I was away. She was very communicative and sent me lots of updates which I appreciated! I would gladly send Frank to her again in the future!”
“Andrew and Adva were fantastic with my older pup-they helped her manage her mobility issues, took her for lots of slow, easy walks, and kept her comfortable with constant company. They sent daily updates and photos too. Andrew and Adva put me at ease right away; they are kind, calm, and flexible. I didn't feel apprehensive about leaving my senior dog for five days. I will absolutely request them again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cabin John
Lee Ann and fam watched out 2.5 year-old Labradoodle for a full week and dealt with all the weird stuff our boy could deal out. Very warm environment for Zigg, who already misse his pal Oscar. She was also very flexible wirh pickup when we had travel issues. Great stay!
Karen is a fabulous dog sitter. Our labradoodle had his first stay for five nights with Karen and her family and he did so well! Karen gave lots of walk, play time in the fenced yard and he just seemed to be very happy being in a comfortable, loving home environment. She sent great photos and communicated just the right amount! We will absolutely be rebooking and we are so glad to have found Karen.
Thank you Jackson for taking such good care of my pets on such short notice. What a great place for the pups to stay. Enclosed backyard gave them the freedom they need but Jackson also followed my instructions on not having the dogs off leash as they have a bad habit of taking off. Will definitely use Jackson again when the pets need a place to stay.
Stephanie was great. She took care of my two dogs, Moka and Zoe on a Saturday/Sunday so I could attend a wedding. Moka is around 5, requiring a medication 2x day and Zoe is definitely a senior dog. She sent me photos and they appeared to have had a good time. She was great a communication, and understanding when my flight was delayed and I arrived later than hoped. We'll happily use her again if circumstances allow.
Andrea and her family are amazing! We truly don’t know what we’d do without them and they’ll be our go-to for boarding for as long as they continue to offer their services. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, thoughtful family who will treat your dog like their own
Meri is absolutely wonderful! She responds very quickly, is reliable, and loves dogs. My dog is very shy with most people, but she gets so excited every time she sees Meri, which says everything. It's such a relief knowing my dog is happy, comfortable, and so well cared for.
Rae and her family were amazing pet sitters for our dog, Duke, who loves to be around people. Rae was incredibly thoughtful to give him plenty of attention and exercise. He certainly walked more with Rae than at home. She sent daily pictures and updates. Prior to boarding, Rae was diligent to find out about Duke’s habits and wanted to do her best to replicate his daily routine from home. We highly recommend Rae and appreciate her loving care!
Jihae always takes such loving care of our pups. I can see the regular walks on the Fi app becausr she let's us plug in the bases at her place. She sends pics every day while we are away as well as little updates on their activities. We are so happy we found her, and our doggos seem to be happy too.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Cabin John 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. 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 Cabin John 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 Cabin John.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cabin John. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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 Cabin John 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll 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.
