“Rodney and Marissa were great! Very accommodating for our fur baby Tyson.. our crate is fairly large and so they had an extra one for him that was sufficient for him. Very patient with me as I sometimes get separation anxiety. Lol. But we are very grateful to you both! Until next time. Thank you.”
“Poh was lovely! I was going out of town last minute and therefore needed a last minute booking and Poh was available with fast response times as well. She has great rates and took amazing care of my dog, she even offers grooming and cut my pups nails over the weekend! She sent daily photos/videos of my pup with others, and took great care of him. Her dogs are also adorable and well behaved. Very kind and professional boarder, we will definitely rebook in the future whenever he requires a home away from home!”
“I have left Yoda with Lingli on multiple occasions when I'm out of town. My experience with her has always been great! She takes very good care of him and he is always happy to see her :) She is also very diligent at keeping me updated with photos which I greatly appreciate! I highly recommend her :)”
“Penny loved her weekend stay with Vanessa! I was sent many updates in the form of videos and pictures and if I had any questions, Vanessa always responded within a timely manner!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – An Amazing Experience for Roxy! 🐾💜 I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Leaving Roxy behind while I went on vacation was so much easier knowing she was in such loving and caring hands. From the beginning, Vanessa and her family made Roxy feel like part of their own family! I received lots of pictures and updates throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. But what impressed me the most was seeing Roxy getting along with the other dogs! Anyone who knows Roxy knows that she’s not usually the most social with other pups, so seeing her comfortable, happy, and interacting with them was such a pleasant surprise! It was clear that Roxy wasn’t just being watched, she was being loved, cared for, and given the attention she needed. That means everything to me! I’m beyond grateful for the wonderful care Roxy received and would absolutely trust this family with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and welcoming home away from home for their fur baby! 🐶💕”
“Our pup always has a great time with Patricia and her family. We think of it as a little vacation for her while we're away, which helps alleviate our own anxiety. Our dog is always excited to see us when we pick her up, but she never seems like she's ready to leave. She doesn't do well in unusual situations, so it's very reassuring to know that she feels comfortable and at ease even when we're not around.”
“Karen was truly AMAZING, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! This was our first time ever leaving our two-year-old pups, Ziggy and Ellie, with anyone, and we were going to be away for a very long trip. Naturally, we were nervous, but from the very beginning, Karen made the entire process feel seamless and immediately helped put our minds at ease. Before our meet and greet, I let Karen know that our schnauzer, Ziggy, can be protective when meeting someone new. Karen knew exactly how to approach the situation and took the time to make him feel comfortable and safe. It was clear right away that she is experienced with dogs and genuinely understands and cares about them. While we were away, Karen treated Ziggy and Ellie as if they were her own. She sent us daily updates, pictures, and videos, which meant more to us than she probably realizes. Being so far away from them for the first time was difficult, and seeing their faces and knowing they were happy, safe, and being loved gave us so much peace of mind. Unfortunately, both of our dogs became sick while we were gone, which meant a lot of extra work, cleanup, and special attention. Karen never hesitated. She went above and beyond to care for them and even had to take Ellie to the veterinarian. At times, we had limited phone service while traveling, and Karen helped communicate with the vet and made sure we stayed informed and Ellie received the care she needed. Having someone we could trust to handle such a stressful situation while we were so far away was absolutely invaluable. Karen exceeded every expectation we had. She wasn't simply a pet sitter—she became someone we completely trusted with two very important members of our family. Knowing that Ziggy and Ellie were being cared for with so much patience, compassion, and love allowed us to enjoy our trip without constantly worrying about them. Words truly cannot express how grateful we are for everything Karen did for Ziggy and Ellie and for us. We came home to two pups who had clearly been very loved and well cared for. We would trust Karen with them again without hesitation and feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. Thank you, Karen, for loving and caring for Ziggy and Ellie like they were your own. ❤️🐾”
“Apollo had a lovely time staying with Sriju! She has such a peaceful, calm spirit and a cozy home. Apollo felt comfortable right away. Sriju’s house is located on a corner with a large yard next to it and there is a playground and dog park close by. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“Jie and his family were welcoming to Phil. I received pictures and updates about how he was adjusting to his stay. I was able to focus on my time away knowing my baby was lovingly cared for, I will definitely use them again.”
“Brianna is amazing! I felt like my dog was in safe hands the entire weekend. She was very communicative and always sent us photos of Teddy and her hiking, hanging out and playing. We highly recommend her for watching your fur baby!”
“Jasmine was great. She sent us pictures each day and kept us a rest of how Charlie was doing. He looked happy and healthy. And we are really grateful for her care of Charlie while we were away. We would definitely use her again.”
“When my dog's anxiety became too overwhelming for the vet's boarding facility, I was in a last-minute panic trying to find someone to care for him. Thankfully, Christa stepped in without hesitation. She showed my boy so much love, patience, and genuine care, making sure he felt safe and comfortable during a stressful time. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave me incredible peace of mind. I couldn't be more grateful for their kindness, flexibility, and compassion. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly treat their pet like family! Thank you!”
“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Kimberly was my 1st experience on Rover. And she was excellent. My yorkie is an anxious little thing but when we pulled up and he jumped right in her arms I knew we made the right choice. Already booking our 2nd reservation”
“Marylee and her husband were so amazing with our Iris. They indulged her with healthy foods when she was too fussy to eat her own food, give her lots of cuddles and love, and let her run off her excess energy in their huge fenced-in yard. They also sent me frequent pictures and updates. They are loving and patient and I would highly recommend them. We will definitely be using them again, I hope!”
“Our Hendrix was well loved during his stay with this family. I received updates and pictures along with a video of him playing with the children. Tail wagging and quite talkative during my pickup I knew he was left in good hands big and small. I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.”
“Candela’s stay with Jessica was great! Jessica accepted a last minute request from us when our original sitter fell through. She was so accommodating and responsive. We got updates and pics. Canela seemed to have a good time!”
“This the third time we have boarded with Jenna and all have been very good experiences. Addie is well cared for, plenty of updates and Addie (our puppy ) gets exited when she comes. The other nice thing there its a family affair with her husband and kids playing and helping to care for Addie.”

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 Cooksville 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 Cooksville 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 Cooksville.
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 Cooksville. 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 Cooksville 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.
