“This family is nothing short of amazing! They took care of Reese for five weeks this summer! And he came back to us healthy and happy. He was able to play with their dog, which is now his forever buddy and have daily walks and play time so it made me feel good to know that our baby was well taken care of.”
“Jenn and her husband were fantastic! really took care of the pups and went above and beyond to make sure my older dog (who gets anxious when i'm away and doesn't eat) at well and was not stressed. Highly recommend!”
“Gisel is amazing! She accommodated me with watching my beloved puppy! She’s very responsive and friendly. She also sent over a video just to show well accumulated my puppy was when he got to her residence.”
“Tania is just amazing. She did everything to make our Zoey feel at home. She even extended Zoey's stay so that we could attend to an emergency. I will be using her again, and again.”
“Elijah and Jocelyn were great sitters for our 11 year old English bulldog. They took great care of him and made him feel as comfortable as possible and responded quickly to my texts. We will definitely book again the next time we need to board Leo.”
“We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Cookie and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated, sent us pictures, and Cookie looked so happy and comfortable with her. 🥹❤️ It was clear that she treated Cookie like her own. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave her, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Had another great dog sitting experience with Jill and Chad… our Plott Hound mix, Luna, is always happy when we go on vacation because she gets to go have fun too, lol. 😂 Jill and Chad are quick to respond and always keep us abreast of anything we need to know regarding Luna’s stay and they send us photos and updates so we can see what she’s up to. I wish we lived a little closer but they are worth traveling a bit farther for. Overall a great experience and they are our go-to dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Megan and Jacob were wonderful hosts for our rambunctious large lab pup!! He was well taken care of and played so well with their cute lab mix! They were very kind and welcoming and calm!! We will be using them again and referring our friends too. This was a trial overnight for longer stays in the future. I loved that they suggested this. Highly recommend!”
“Super amazing people .They have had Thor twice and will probably continue to they take amazing care of him and treat him like there own . We love the fenced in yard and the walks .”
“Sarah was amazing! It’s refreshing to meet someone who will love your pet as much as you do! From constant contact w/me regarding my pet to sending me videos and pictures of my pet’s stay w/her, I’m very pleased w/Sarah! I would highly recommend her!”
“Tammy is the absolute best! She boarded my dog at her house while I was on vacation and made the whole experience stress free. She sent daily updates and was so incredibly sweet. Sandy was very happy when i picked her up!”
“We could not be happier with our pup’s stay with Jennifer! Jennifer was wonderful at keeping us up to date with pictures and messages throughout her stay. Our puppy, Izzy, is anxious with new people and seemed to really take to Jennifer, Buster, and her family within a short amount of time. Izzy was exhausted when she got home so she clearly enjoyed all of the fun and attention she received! I highly reccomend Jennifer and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Theresa has been caring for our dog for years, and she has always been absolutely wonderful. She is incredibly sweet and kind, and our dog truly loves her. She will forever be our go-to person. Theresa has even stepped in to watch our dog at the very last moment without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone with a truly kind heart, stop right here and give her a chance. We love her—and so does our little dog.” 🐾💖”

Alexis did an amazing job taking care of Joey! She was incredibly gracious and attentive throughout the entire stay, and I really appreciated the pictures and updates she provided. It was reassuring to see Joey happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. Alexis was dependable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about Joey’s well-being. I would definitely consider using Alexis again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
We had such a wonderful experience with our puppy sitter! She took amazing care of our two puppies while we were out of town and treated them like they were her own. She kept us updated, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. When we picked them up, they were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. She even mentioned how sweet and cuddly they were, which made us smile! We are so grateful for the love and attention she gave Benji and Stormi. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets. Thank you again for taking such great care of our babies!
Chris and Kelly were great when our pup was having some bad allergy rides and kept us updated. There dog Gigi was a good friend to Gunner. I felt Chris and Kelly were both super responsive to messages and calls during our time away. We would absolutely use them 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 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 Clayton 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 Clayton.
<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 Clayton 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.
