“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”

“Jennifer and Louis were very friendly and accommodating for me and my pup first overnight stay I was very nervous in the beginning due to it being my dog first overnight stay. I a new to the app and was looking for a playful friendly dog that my dog can stay and play with occasionally. We have found one thank you Jennifer and Louis for your hospitality pictures and videos everything went great!”
“Nina was amazing! I was certain my anxious pup wouldn’t go on walks in a new area, but I was proven wrong with all the video proof of her confidently strolling around Nina’s neighborhood. Loved all the updates and appreciated her patience with my girl. Would absolutely book with them again!”
“Would highly recommend Shane! This is the first Rover stay where my dog immediately felt comfortable. I was able to travel with peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. Shane was quick to respond throughout the booking process and sent daily updates and pictures during her stay. We’ve definitely found our #1!”
“Trixie had an amazing stay with Jennifer! She received lots of love while she was there and we received great communication to let us know she was living her best life while we were away! Definitely will use again when we go away!”
“Brogan was amazing with Kallie and Rocco. Kallie had a hard time settling in this time, and Brogan went above and beyond to make her comfortable with tons of walks, plenty of attention, and so much love and patience. She also took wonderful care of Rocco and made sure he had everything he needed. It’s always so hard for me to leave my best friends, but I had such peace of mind knowing they were being cared for so well by Brogan. I highly recommend her!”
“Allie is wonderful! She has watched my pup twice and each time I’ve felt confident he is being very well taken care of. She was also incredibly understanding after weather delayed my flight home and I had to pick him up much later than expected. Would highly recommend!”

“My dog Oscar had a great time with Noah and his pups. Oscar gets nervous meeting new people, and Noah was very kind and gentle with him. Oscar LOVED playing with Rusk and River, and warmed up to their home right away. He had a lot of fun, and has since tried to steer towards their apartment on our regular walks.”

“Paul was very easy Ruby to get to know. She enjoyed him immediately, and they bonded quickly. We are extremely confident Paul took wonderful care of Ruby. He reported in daily on their grand adventures around the neighborhood and comfortable home surroundings. We would entrust our sweet doggie to Paul’s care in a heartbeat. We just asked if she would like to see Paul again, her ears perked up, and she said to give him six stars.”

I am so thankful that we found Nicole!!! I had a last minute need for a two week trip out of the country and Nicole, Adam, and their dog Blair were so welcoming and accepting to Clover! I felt such peace of mind while I was away, Clover and Blair are now besties and I can’t wait for her to go back and stay with them!! Clover was comfortable and looked so happy in the many photos we received throughout her stay.
Danyelle did a wonderful job watching our corgi puppy, Lewis! She is extremely competent and made us feel comfortable and confident leaving Lewis with her for the weekend. She also sent us updates and pictures of Lewis while we were away, which we really appreciated! We plan to use Danyelle again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Sabrina took fantastic care of our senior dog, Remi. He requires a lot of medications, as well as the use of a pee pad, at baseline. Then, right before our scheduled vacation, he also developed an eye ulcer. Sabrina was able to manage administering three different eye drops multiple times a day, as well as oral medications. I also made a mistake when booking and had to extend the reservation at the last minute, which Sabrina easily and very graciously accommodated. Remi was very well taken care of and got an A+ from the dog ophthalmologist the day after we returned. Sabrina also communicated frequently, with pictures and updates, and let us know how Remi was doing daily. We highly recommend Sabrina and would book with her again!
We are repeat clients of Megan because she consistently gives our pup the attention and grace he needs to feel cared for, even when having other dogs on the same rotation. She gives plenty of updates, pictures and reassurance. Our dog always comes back happy and well rested!

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 College Park 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 College Park 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 College Park.
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 College Park. On Rover:
- 85% 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 College Park 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 VA 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.
