“Tamara was fantastic! Hands down the best sitter I’ve had. I boarded my little guy with her for about 4 days. She sent me pictures and videos and kept me updated throughout on how he was doing. It really put me at ease and let me know he was in great hands. I would 100%recommend.”
“Payton and her husband were awesome! Our dogs had such an incredible time with them, they almost didn’t want to leave. They provided updates regularly and lots of mental stimulation and walks for our pups. Can’t wait to use them again!”
“Loic was an amazing dog sitter! He took such good care of Coco, ensuring she was happy and comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos he sent, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Coco had a blast playing with his dog, and it was clear she was well cared for and having a great time.”
“Janel kept us updated on what our dog was doing during her stay. We loved seeing pictures of her adventures! She seemed happy as a clam when we picked her up.”
“This was my second time leaving my rescue dog, Tao, with Rouday, and both experiences have been great. He was understanding of Tao's occasional timidity after being bounced between multiple shelters as a puppy. I also appreciate that he makes dog sitting a family affair, which has been great for Tao's socialization. I'd definitely recommend Rouday to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
“Sabrina is fantastic! She’s knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She was so flexible when my plans changed, and I felt 100% confident leaving my dog under her care. I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to any dog owner!”
“She took good care of my Abby. She was able to be kept in a separate room since she’s afraid of other animals. I was so lucky to find such good care at the absolute last minute over a chaotic holiday.”
“Jenna did an absolutely amazing job dog sitting my dog, Soka! She was attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure Soka was happy and comfortable the entire time. I could tell right away that Jenna truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I had total peace of mind knowing Soka was in such great hands. I highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter — she’s the best!”
“Yolande kept my Kane from 6/25-6/29/25. She quickly responded to me from beginning to end. She sent me pictures/videos daily and she even dropped him off to me at the end of the visit. My Kane ran back to her when she was leaving to let her say goodbye and pet him. I would absolutely recommend Yolande and will be using her again in the future.”
“?????Five stars for Lillian! Our pup Cupcake had a great stay with Lillian! She communicated well & was very responsive. She took lots of great photos and videos, and she was kind enough to drop off Cupcake at the end when our schedules didn’t align. I would definitely recommend letting Lillian dog sit your pup! Cupcake will be back Lillian so be prepared! Lol! ?”
“Wonderful pet care while we were on vacation for two week. Tasha sent pictures and communicated through out the two week, on how Shorty was doing. Will use her services again. Thank you, Vanessa”

“Joe was very easy to communicate with and patient with our nervous pup who takes some time to warm up to new people and places. Rufus seemed very happy and comfortable with Joe and Watson, and definitely loved having access to a trail in the woods right next to the house!”
“Isai knows and cares about dogs. Hr's flexible and thouhtful with moms, as well. Thank you, Isai, for providing peace of mind, during a stressful time.”
“I highly recommend Juan and Felipe! They sent daily updates on how my dog was doing and kept me informed about his condition. They are extremely reliable, and as dog owners themselves, they clearly know what they’re doing. Very caring and loving. I would definitely use their services again!!!!”
“Amazing as always!!! Melanie is the best and sends great updates and Rooney is always excited to visit. Being away it puts me at ease not only knowing Roo is safe but having fun too.”
“Adriana was amazing! We did a four night stay and she proposed a meet and greet the week before our visit (without me having to ask) which was a great way to get to know her and her adorable pup, Pheobe. She asked a lot of questions about Max’s routine and day to day food and care needs and overall made me feel very comfortable leaving my precious baby in her care. Pheobe was super sweet and she and Max played and lounged and overall got along very well.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Capitol Heights
Jade is very warm and inviting. We agreed on a 2 hr. meet and greet visit for our pet to be with her, given her separation anxiety and not being with her regular sitter. Jade reported our pet whining for the first hour being with her. When I asked Jade if she would be open to a future visit in hopes of my pet becoming lass anxious. She was immediate in saying yes.
Diego and Natalia are THE BEST SITTERS for my Snow who demands love, attention and closeness. The photos of Snow playing with their cat's toy, at the window with their cat, both of them looking out of the the window is a regular meeting place with each other. At home Snow has started perching herself on the back of our sofa and even enjoying some of her best naps of the day. My family is very grateful for the care and attentiveness of Diego and Natalia toward Snow but also to the other pets being boarded during the same time. Photos of the pets hanging out together are reassuring that all the pets are well regarded by these sitters.
You da best! Thanks for caring for Blaze as you did, thank you for the daily pics, thank you for being flexible, agreeing to extend Blaze’s stay after unforeseen changes and thank you for your clear responsive communication. I would book Jayla again in a heartbeat and I know Blaze would agree.
Evelyn was amazing with my babies, Monty & Sandy. We needed a sitter on short notice while we drove our oldest to college and Evelyn came through for us beautifully. She was in constant communication and sent us daily pictures of our pups. They immediately rams towards her at drop off which confirmed the good energy we felt when booking. Will definitely be booking her again.
This was the third time Scottie and Pierce have stayed with their Uncle Terrance, and this visit was for an entire week. As always, Terrance kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout their stay, and every update showed just how much fun they were having. Poor Terrance could barely get any work done on his laptop because Pierce insisted on sitting in his lap the whole time! 😂 When we returned from our trip, Scottie and Pierce were excited to see us, but the love, affection, and gratitude they showed Terrance when we picked them up was truly heartwarming. It was clear they felt safe, loved, and right at home. Thank you, Terrance, for caring for them as if they were your own. We appreciate you more than you know, and we look forward to the next stay!

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 Capitol Heights 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 Capitol Heights 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 Capitol Heights.
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 Capitol Heights. 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 Capitol Heights 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.
