“These people are the real deal. They took such great care of my old man. Very communicative with daily picture updates about what he was up to and were quick to get my input on some irritation they noticed on one of his paws. Highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again!”
“Another successful stay with Megan and Vincent! It was Elsie's and Harper's second time and they are already booked for three nights next weekend. I love getting the pictures and videos while I'm away! Once they walked through the gate into the backyard during drop off, they didn't even look back, not worried at all about being left :).”
“This is our second dog we’ve left with Pearl. She is a capable dog owner and sitter and easily manages the dogs in her care. Her home is dog friendly and our anxious dog settled down quickly with Pearl.”
“She was wonderful with my puppy! I was worried since it was going to be the first sleepover for him since adopting him, but after meeting her I knew he was in good hands. Super thankful that everything went great and will totally go with her again!”
“What can I say, Miss Candice loves what she does. And it shows, It’s like home away from for my fur baby who all but jumps out the car window when we pull up for his stay. Thank goodness my window was up. Total opposite when pull up to the groomer.”
“Geosselyn is friendly and very kind. She gave me frequent updates with photos/video to let me know how my dog was adjusting at her home. My small Maltese truly received excellent, personalized care. I highly recommend Geosselyn and will place my dog in her care again!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better Sitter for Habibi while I was doing business nearby. Emma is a true professional who deeply cares for dogs. She also has a gorgeous big yard that just screams out for having a dog running around in it. Not a big fan of business piece, but I look forward to the next opportunity to have Habibi stay with Emma.”
“Yvonne K was a pleasure to work with. She communicated quickly and clearly. Most importantly, our dog seemed very content in staying with her. I also liked the fact that she has a dog who kept my dog company.”
“Justin&stephanie were great! I booked last minute and they were able to take my dog. The whole time they’ve communicated and updated me quickly and right away, sent me pictures, played with him, took him for walks and made him feel so much at home!! My dog was sad about leaving. Book with them for a safe and good experience for your fur babies!”
“Abby and her family were amazing! They took great care of my pup Maxx while I was away and sent plenty of videos and pictures of all the loving and play time he had. Maxx loves kids so he was spoiled rotten having friends to play with and keep him entertained. I will happily book with Abby again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Brittany took great care of Chewy during our vacation! He looked happy in each picture she sent while we were away. He even took his 1st swim! She has a wonderful yard to explore and I can tell her family loves animals. I looked forward to her pictures and updates daily. So glad I found her at the last minute and we will absolutely use her services again! Thanks again Brittany!”
“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.”
“Lindsey took care of Sydney for a night. When I was there to drop off, the kids and the family welcomed Sydney and made her comfortable. Lindsey provided frequent updates which I greatly appreciate. Sydney had a great stay at Lindsey's.”
About: Since 2014, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and pawsonalities — from shy kittens to spicy dogs, plus chickens, bunnies, and even a hermit crab. 🐶🐱🐔🐰🐟 Fostering over 200 pets has made me fluent in body language (pet edition). Whether your pet wants snuggles, space, or serious playtime, I tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’m comfortable giving medications* and teaching basic obedience. I also make the experience great for you! I’m a reliable communicator, send plenty of cute pics, and if your pet’s up for it, you’ll come home to a handmade surprise “from your pet.” *If medications are required to be given an additional fee will be negotiated and applied before the booking is confirmed. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt as needed. I am able to care for about a dozen pets per week and I only book one house-sitting family at a time to ensure each pet gets my full attention. Walks and drop-ins can easily be added into my day, especially Monday through Friday. Pet care is both relaxing and rewarding for me — I love building relationships with the pets I visit, and I think they look forward to our time together just as much as I do! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, starting by learning their pet’s established routine to ensure they feel comfy and happy. I gather all the important info — like vet contacts, emergency numbers, and where cleaning supplies live (just in case!). I’m a tidy sitter too: I take out the trash and scoop up any yard “presents” to keep things fresh. Most importantly, I listen closely to both owner and pet to discover what makes each furry friend feel safe and loved, then tailor my care to their unique personality.
“My dog is very happy with Grace, so that makes me happy. This was his second visit with Grace, and everything went great. Grace is very conscientious and is in tune with my dog's needs. He'll be back again next week with his sister.”
“Kelli and her husband took great care of my dog, Blizzard, who had a wonderful time playing with her dogs. Kelli was very caring and easy to work with. I highly recommend Kelli, and Blizzard would happily return for another getaway.”

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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff.
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.
You and your Cardiff 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.
