“We loved Jacob and Megan! Our dog Coco loved playing with their dog! We got updated messages and pictures each day, and Coco was very happy when we picked her up! We will totally be using Jacob and Megan for our pet sitting needs again!”
“Both of our dogs were definitely sad to leave Megan and Vince. They provided such great care, were super communicative and sent so many pictures. We will definitely reach back out when we are in need to care for our dogs. I found such comfort during our trip knowing our dogs were in GREAT hands!”
“Lucky had a great time with Max and Thomas. He enjoyed playing in the backyard and all the pets. Thank you and I'll definitely rebook again. I appreciate the prompt replies to my texts.”
“Finn had another wonderful stay with Melanie! We loved the picture & video updates and felt at ease while we were away. My dog seems very comfortable at her house and loves playing with her pup!”
“Libby had a fantastic time with Jenn and her family. Couldn't have asked for a better expirence. Will definitely bring using Jenn in the future for all our boarding needs.”
“Jill and Chad were AMAZING to work with. I have a puppy who is still in her needy stages and they were so accommodating! My dog had such a good time with them and their family. I 100% will be sending her to Jill and Chads house for her next puppy vacation!”
“Gisel took my dog for a day visit. She called me within an hour and a half letting me know that he was still shaking and scared. I picked him up early and she worked with me to set up some mini visits to help him get accustomed looking forward to more regular visits.”
“Briana and Isaiah were amazing with my both Otis. They allowed me, the worried mom, to come and meet their dogs first before the stay started. I was very grateful for that. They took excellent care of him and it was really great to have him stay on a home with a dog loving family instead of a kennel. They also.made sure that I knew that they had his safety in mind at all.times. They were a true God send.”
“I’m so glad we found Patrick and Bahiya on Rover to take care of our dog. My Loki can be a little “extra” but everything worked out so great and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy our vacation and know he was so taken care of. I can’t thank you enough for the daily updates seeing him so well taken care of.”
“When I picked up my furkids, they went straight to sleep. I guess that is a good indication that they had way too much fun at Tarina’s doggie playhouse. Will definitely be coming back. Tarina agreed to have a meet and greet prior reservation. Thank you, Tarina and Tony.”
“I love taking my dog to her. My dog knows exactly who she is. She loves her and she takes very good care of my dog. I’ve never had a problem. I will continue to keep going back to her as long as she accepts my dog and she takes very good care of my dog. Thank you again”
“My dog Eyore stayed with Pearl Fri thru Mon and she took excellent care of him. She provided daily updates with pictures, so we were never nervous or worried about him. She also allowed him to sleep on her bed like he does at home, so he was right at home away from home. She honored our feeding requests and asked about types of snacks before providing them. Overall she was very attentive and took very good care of him. I couldn’t have asked or received better care on such short notice?! I found a sitter late Friday and left on Saturday morning?! I love this website!! It was a very quick, and user friendly website! I put out several requests and had replies within 2-7 minutes?! That was AWESOME!! I’ve already started telling friends and family about the website! I am sooo excited!”
“Colleen Alissa and her husband provided Lemmy with excellent care while we were away. Arranged for a meet up with their pup, Bruce, before Lemmy’s stay. Definitely will continue to book with them for as long as they are on this app.”
“Paris was absolutely amazing! 🐾❤️ She was incredibly communicative from the very beginning. As soon as I expressed interest in having her watch my puppy, she worked with me to make sure it was affordable for my puppy to stay with her. Throughout his stay, she made sure to send pictures, updates, and videos so we could see that our puppy was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of socialization with her own pets as well as other dogs she was sitting. One of my favorite parts was that she even responded to messages from my children to their beloved puppy. She shared their messages with him and sent responses back, which meant so much to our family! 🥰 I would **highly recommend Paris** to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative to care for their pets. We will absolutely be using her again for future dog-sitting needs! 🐶💕”
“Alexandra and her family took amazing care of our sometimes nervous dog bella and sent her back to us as happy as we left her. As caring and competent a dog sitter as you'll find.”
“Sue was great. My dog got along with her two dogs, and had a nice fenced in yard for them to run and play. She kept me informed and sent me a couple of pics over the week. Havre de Grace isis on the way to the Baltimore airport so very convenient drop off snd pick up. I don’t travel Vera often but will reach out the next time I do.”
“They are amazing. Camilla had the best doggy vacation while I was on vacation. She had a ball.. I really appreciated the constant photo-op they gave Camilla. I found my new home away from home for my baby.. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you...”
“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”

Colleen took such great care of Gunner while I was away. She was very responsive to my messages, kept me updated, and was incredibly accommodating with my travel schedule. This was my first time leaving him, so I was naturally a little nervous, but she completely exceeded my expectations and made the whole experience stress free. I felt confident that Gunner was in great hands. I would absolutely book with Colleen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
When we dropped our 2 dogs off with Aria we were a bit worried because this was the first time we have ever had anyone watch our dogs (outside of family and friends). But with Aria you can rest assured, my very apprehensive 5 month old pup warmed up to her and both dogs were obviously very well taken care of. I got tons of photos so I could feel more comfortable leaving my 2 girls with her. Think of it like they are being adopted into her family while you are gone, because that is exactly what it seemed like. Will definitely be asking her to watch our girls again when we go out of town knowing they would be on a mini vacation themselves.
Aria is absolutely wonderful. We just did a meet and greet with two weeks ago, We dropped our Morkie named (Jake) Thursday night. We had to travel out of town, and Aria went over and above all weekend long. She sent us great pictures multiple times a day. Kept us updated with what they were doing, including what Jake was eating. A+++++++++ all around. I recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Aria. Your the best.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Darlington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Darlington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Darlington 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 Darlington.
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 Darlington 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.
