About: Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I have professional experience working as a dog handler with detection canines, which has given me hands-on experience with canine behavior, handling, safety, and maintaining a structured environment. I understand that every pet has a different personality, comfort level, and set of needs, and I take the time to provide appropriate care for each pet entrusted to me. Safety is always the priority for your pet, my family, other animals, and anyone interacting with your pet. I believe good boarding should provide owners with peace of mind knowing their pet is being cared for by someone who is attentive, responsible, and experienced around animals. Pets are housed in a secure, indoor, climate-controlled kennel area where they can remain comfortable regardless of the weather. They also have access to a fenced outdoor kennel area that provides additional space, fresh air, and shelter from the elements. I provide a clean, structured, and secure environment and will follow your pet's normal feeding schedule, medications, routines, and other care instructions as closely as possible. Whether you're away for a night, a weekend, or a longer trip, my goal is simple: keep your pet safe, comfortable, well cared for, and give you confidence that they're in capable hands while you're away. I work offsite during the day, but I have a strong and dependable family support system at home to ensure pets receive appropriate oversight and care throughout the day. I personally handle morning and evening care, including feeding, exercise, kennel care, and ensuring each pet’s individual needs and routine are being met. Our boarding kennel is separate from our family home, providing pets with their own dedicated, quiet, and controlled space. The indoor kennel area is climate controlled and provides access to a secure, fenced outdoor kennel area with shelter, allowing dogs to safely spend time outside when appropriate. While I am at work, trusted family members are available to provide supervision, potty breaks, feeding, exercise, or other care according to each pet’s needs. I remain responsible for their overall care and delegate daytime responsibilities with clear instructions. I also maintain video surveillance of the kennel areas, allowing me to monitor pets throughout the day even while I am offsite. My professional experience handling detection canines has made safety, structure, and responsible handling especially important to me. My goal is to provide a secure environment with consistent care while minimizing unnecessary interactions between boarded pets, our household, and other animals. Safety is the foundation of how I care for animals. My professional experience handling detection canines has taught me the importance of understanding canine behavior, maintaining secure environments, following established routines, and never taking unnecessary risks with an animal in my care. Our boarding kennel is separate from our family home, providing a dedicated and controlled environment for our guests. Dogs stay in a clean, climate-controlled indoor kennel with access to a secure, fenced outdoor kennel area with shelter. This setup allows me to control interactions and provide each dog with appropriate space rather than requiring unfamiliar pets to immediately integrate into a household environment. The kennel areas are also under video surveillance, allowing me to monitor pets when I am not physically present. My family provides additional daytime oversight and supervision while I personally remain responsible for each pet’s overall care. I take owner instructions seriously and want to know about your pet’s temperament, routines, triggers, medical needs, and any behavioral concerns before their stay. Honest communication helps me keep your pet, my family, and other animals safe. We are an animal-loving family with our own very well-loved barn cats, so responsible animal care is already part of our everyday life. My goal is to provide owners with peace of mind knowing their pet is staying in a safe, secure, structured, and caring environment.
“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”

“I’m so thankful to have found Anna! She’s local, accommodating, and Maisie had a wonderful time! Communication was easy, pickup/drop off were quick, and I have a happy, tired pup at home now! Our trip was a quick one, but I’ll book Anna for longer trips in the future!”

“Atiyana is a lifesaver! She took our last minute request to board our boy. She kept us updated while we were away and I know our boy had an awesome time. Will use her again ❤️”

“From the moment we connected, she was kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure my dog Beethoven felt comfortable and loved. She provided consistent updates, photos, and little notes that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog adored her — the calm energy, the patience, the playtime, and the snuggles. It was clear she treated him like her own. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a smooth, stress‑free experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. She’s truly exceptional.”

“Spenser loved staying with Danny, Damaris, and Thor! They are such kind and caring people, and their own dog Thor is absolute sweetheart. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in a loving home. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dog-loving sitter!”

“Once again, Seyla is amazing taking care of my boy, Ace. Ace immediately recognized him and jumped out of the car. I love that Ace feels safe. Ace was on medication this stay and Seyla made sure he took his meds timely and stayed on schedule all while comforting him. Seyla treats him like his own.”

“Taylor was phenomenal with our fur baby Dior. From the very moment I met her, we vibed as if I’d known her before. Taylor is Dior’s new auntie along with her beautiful fur babies, cousins, Jake and Noodles. Taylor is a natural with dogs and not once was I concerned about Dior while away. We received videos showing how great of a time Dior was having and that eased all anxiety, being a first time fur mama. It’s comforting knowing someone loves your baby as much as you do. If Dior could talk, he’d say that Taylor made him feel right at home from the onset. And the back yard freedom of running was fantastic! Anyone looking for someone that’s compassionate, kind and loving with their fur baby, Taylor is your girl!”

“I highly recommend Melanie and Randy to care for your pets! Our dog,Pax, can only have a certain type of dog toy, since he is a heavy chewer, and Melanie made sure that he would only have non-destructable toys to play with. She also gave updates with pictures to let me know how Pax was settling in. I felt very comfortable with Melanie and Randy caring for Pax and will definitely rebook with them on the future.”

“My dog was in great hands! He’s never stayed with anyone else other than family. Kimberly sent pictures and videos daily and my dog appeared to be very happy and comfortable during his stay. This made my week long vacation enjoyable and less stressful. Thank you Kimberly, we’ll be back!”


“Helen and her family welcomed Ivory with warm and lovely environment. She is a great communicator and gave us a daily report with images while Ivory’s was with her. I recommend Helen to anyone who is looking for your pet’s temporary home :)”

“Thoroughly enjoyed having them as my puppy's pet sitters. They were great, very communicative, lots of pictures, lots of texts. Would use them anytime again. Can recommend anytime.”

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 Country Lakes home-away-from-home, 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 Country Lakes.
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 Country Lakes 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 , 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 .
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.
