“We left our dog with Patricia for 5 nights. We were nervous because he’s never stayed away from home since we got him. He is also a rescue, and, while a gentle pup, we just didn’t know for sure how he would behave away from home and his family. Fortunately, he did very well because Patricia and her husband took great care of him. He enjoyed their and their dog’s company. Patricia sent us daily updates with photos which were much appreciated. She communicated clearly, was punctual and professional. Highly recommended!”
“We are so thankful that Mooch was taken care of with so much love and attention. We also appreciated the updates and video compilations that were shared of him having fun in the yard and with the other pups. :)”
“I couldnt have asked for a better sitter than Eric! He took wonderful care of my dog on short notice, sent multiple adorable photo updates, and followed all feeding and walking instructions to the letter. My puppy came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Masha is incredible!! She was extremely sweet and loving with my cavapoo. She is also very communicative. We got great pictures each day while away on vacation. I highly recommend her!”
“Such a phenomenal sitter-- she genuinely loves animals and it comes through in her interactions with pets. Sent plenty of pictures throughout my trip and kept me regularly updated. Truly felt like she cared for my cat as if she were my own and that's such a rare trait in a cat sitter.”
“We had a fantastic experience boarding our dog, Bob, with Jessica and her sweet dog, Max, for six days. Jessica went above and beyond—she walked Bob even in the rain, made sure he took his medication, and somehow even convinced him to wear his coat (a miracle in itself!). She sent thoughtful updates, and it was clear Bob felt completely at home. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“I couldn't have been blessed with a better sitter. Diana and her family totally exceeding my expectations with taking care of my Apollo. I received updates and photos multiple times a day, that showed the love he was getting, the amazing care he was getting, and he was happy. This was the 1st time using Rover and I was extremely nervous, but Diana and her family took away all my worry. She and her family celebrated Apollo's 3rd birthday with him. We were greeted with balloons. How awesome was that! Diana's love has for dogs shows immensely as well as her good character, and I would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. Thank you Diana, I appreciate you and your family. Until we meet again...”
“Jiao kept in close communication about our dog. She sent several pictures and videos per day. My dog acted happy and playful in her house. She came recommended by a friend and I would definitely book with her again.”
“As always -- nothing but top-notch TLC for Ella when she stays with Alex and Daniel! We couldn't be luckier to be able to rely on them to keep our girl happy, healthy, and loved while we're away.”
“Colleen took wonderful care of our cockapoo for 3 days. She sent photos several times and provided photos. She also was able to give some eyedrops several times per day that our dog required. My dog seemed content and well cared for. Thank you.”
“Yessica and her husband are kind and thoughtful dog sitters who clearly care about the dogs they watch and providing the very best care! They handled our 7 month old pup with grace and embraced his rambunctious puppyness. Would highly recommend!”
“Liya & her family provide exceptional service to my dog. Very attentive, caring and always goes above and beyond. She has been flexible with time, changed plans etc. As someone who is very particular, I feel at peace leaving Chloe in her care. Highly recommended!”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog, Hazel, with Bryn. At the meet and greet, Hazel obviously liked Bryn (which is not always the case when meeting new people) so I knew we were off to a great start. Bryn has a calm personality and definitely is knowledgeable about dogs. She has a lovely home and a great fenced in backyard where the dogs can play. Her dog, Kepler, is very sweet. Bryn sent pictures and updates during Hazel's stay and reported that she did very well. She followed my instructions as far as giving Hazel her medications. I'd happily recommend Bryn to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
“Marshall’s first visit to a home sitter went very well. Bria seems to really love dogs. Marshall’s appetite seemed to have picked up, and he’s more energetic. Seems as though being around other dogs has perked him up although I had reservations about her two dogs. One is very big, but seemed harmless. I feared he might scare and make Marshall nervous. Thankfully, that was not the case. On Sunday when I arrived at the set time, Marshall was bathed and ready to go. I definitely will use her service again.”
“Cindy was absolutely amazing with our dogs! From the moment we met her, we felt like our pups were in good hands. She sent us lots of pictures and updates which we loved! It was clear they were not only well cared for, but also happy and loved. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention made such a difference for us. We’re so grateful we found Cindy and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
About: For me, good dog care is a family endeavor. Portuguese water dog breeders and long -time dog lovers, your puppy's happiness is important to all of us! At my home there is almost always have someone home during the day, which gives flexibility for morning and evening walks and outdoor play. When we do leave the house it is never for more than three hours at a time. My family has a one acre yard that is fenced and perfect for active dogs who want to run and play. We will be sure to keep your pups safe, happy, and well cuddled while you're away!
“This was my second time booking with Kelly, and I couldn't have been happier. Kelly and her husband, John, are such kind and dedicated dog lovers, and I really appreciated how amazing they were with my shy pup. Also, my pup unfortunately had to go to the ER, and Kelly could not have been more professional and accommodating. She really went above and beyond making sure that my pup was okay, and it was thanks to her care and keen observation that my pup received the care and workup that he needed. I'm so grateful to Kelly!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Colesville
Thank you Patricia and family for taking great care of our doodle pup girl on short notice for the weekend! She was so excited to play with your sweet daughter in your great fenced in yard! I could tell our doodle enjoyed her time with you and your photos showed the comfort she felt with you! We are very grateful for the wonderful care you provided and how you welcomed her into your home!
A HUGE thank you to Kelly and John for taking such great care of our fur baby, Daisy, during our week away! I received frequent updates, photos, and videos during Daisy's stay with them. The attention and affection Daisy received from Kelly and John helped Daisy; especially since she can become anxious when apart from me. I was so happy to see Daisy relaxing next to their sweet dog, Vinnie, in many of the photos! You are always fabulous with our pup girl! Thanks so much for your expert care!
Angela and family took great care of our dog, including giving him medicine for a sudden stomach problem. This allowed us to enjoy a long-awaited vacation. And when we picked our dog up, he was doing so much better. They have a great yard for dogs who like to play and run! Highly recommend!
Azucena was wonderful with my dog Willow. Before Willow boarded with her we set up a meet and greet where she asked very thoughtful and insightful questions to make sure she knew my pup's schedule, temperament, and needs. When Willow was with her, Azucena provided wonderful updates and pictures that made it clear that Willow was happy and well cared for.
My pup is a regular at daycare and this was her second time boarding with Cal and Kelly. Pup clearly loved every minute of her stay! appreciate all the photo and video updates — it’s so nice to see how happy and comfortable she is while I’m away. Highly recommend!
This was Snickers' second stay with Calvin & Vanessa and once again, they took great care of him! We were given multiple updates on how Snickers was doing and they even sent us photos to show us that Snickers was having a good time boarding at their home. We would highly recommend Calvin & Vanessa to anyone looking to board their fur baby!
Minelis was absolutely amazing with Nina! She provided wonderful updates throughout the stay and even went above and beyond by practicing Nina's commands with her. Nina was so happy, calm, and relaxed the entire time. Finding a sitter who makes my fur baby feel so safe and content gives me total peace of mind. I will definitely be booking with Minelis 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 Colesville 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 Colesville.
<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 Colesville 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.
