“Huron and Elise were absolutely amazing in every way for our sweet pup. Not only did they take our request extremely last minute but they took amazing care of our sweet girl! We really appreciated their effort of ensuring plenty of time outside and returned our sweet girl all worn out from her fun. They were truly the best and we cannot thank them enough!”

“Chash, we can’t thank you enough for the attention and care you gave our pup this week! Tons of walks, play time and cuddles.. we couldn’t ask for anything more! We would HIGHLY recommend Chash to anyone that wants their fur baby to be well loved. We so appreciated all the daily updates and photos. And even sending our pup home with some sweet new treats, so thoughtful! Our dog Birdie can’t wait to stay with Chash again 💕”

In the videos, it was very pleasant to hear relaxing music from the background! Lolita returned home very happy and calm! The communication with Rossie and Lorenzo was excellent, I would definitely book them again and I recommend them for any dog parents!”

“Parker really enjoyed her stay with Andrew and his family! She came home very happy and relaxed. Andrew was a great communicator, sharing lots of updates and cute pictures. He made sure she was comfortable at all times and ensured she was okay sleeping on the first level when she showed apprehension at the stairs. As an experienced dog-owner, Andrew was confident regarding Parker's specific care instructions and ensured she had all her meds and food. I am looking forward to booking Andrew again, I know Parker will be excited to spend more time there!”

Her phone had died so we were unable to reach her. We waited an hour but ultimately went home. We were able to pick up our dog later.”

“Anne and family were great with our dog. She was very easy to communicate with, has a great house with a fenced in backyard, nice neighborhood, and parks nearby, etc. Her own dog was adorable and got along well with our high-energy 2-year old dog. We never know about how our dog will get along since, although he is quite friendly, he does have a lot of energy and loves a lot of running, chasing, etc. We had various special instructions for feeding, walking, playing, and the like, and Anne was great in taking care of those requests. We appreciated getting pictures and updates and we highly recommend.”

“This is our second time boarding with Alejandra, and she is wonderful. She is very accommodating, friendly, and caring. She took great care of our French bulldog. While we were away, I could trust that my dog was safe, happy, and looked after. I appreciated the photos that Alejandra sent, and my 2 year old was excited to see what our dog was up to on her "puppy vacation". I am so happy I found Alejandra so that we can have peace of mind while we are away. Will definitely be back again next time we need boarding!”

About: I have over 7 years of experience as an animal caretaker and am currently a foster parent with MCASAC. I work with a a variety of dogs from all walks of life, but typically focus on tending to large and senior dogs that require special medical needs, behavioral training, and/or socialization in a stress-free home environment. As a remote worker, I have the flexibility to tailor my schedule to your pet's routine and unique needs, ensuring personalized care and attention throughout their stay. I strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for pets under my care, whether I'm caring for them in my own home or providing a drop-in visit at your home. For services whereby your pet is staying with me, I offer in-home doggy daycare for up to 8-hour stays and boarding services for extended to overnight care. All pups will have freedom to run around the house with plenty of exericse and playtime breaks throughout the day. To create a peaceful and stress-free mealtime for all pups, I feed them separately or in a designated space. In terms of supervision, there is always someone home as I live with four other family members who work remotely as well and are comfortable with providing supplemental care and attention as needed. Throughout the day, I like to share regular updates and photos to the owners, so they can see how their pets are doing while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'll work with you to confirm care instructions, your pet's routine and any additional needs your pet requires during my visit.

Zoe always has a great time with Sophia. We love the pictures that she sends everyday so we can see Zoe when we are away. We are so happy that we can go away and know that Zoe will be happy and well taken care of.

I looked into quite a few sitters before choosing Todd because I really wanted to make sure my dog would be as comfortable as possible while I was away. Todd ended up being the perfect choice! He took great care of Koda, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. If you’re considering leaving your dog with Todd, I definitely recommend him!

Tracey and her family were really wonderful with our pug Lily. Tracey is very easygoing, and made us feel very comfortable that Lily was well looked after and given lots of love and attention. This is the first time we have put Lily in a house with children and it was a great decision. Lily loves children and the girls had fun playing with her and cuddling up, which is Lily's favorite thing to do! We look forward to booking with Tracey again in the near future!

Dawn was awesome! Super communicative, has a great location for dogs of all sizes, and she does it because she really enjoys dogs. Our lab had the best time and was exhausted in a good way when he got home. It was as much a vacation for him as for us 😊

We left our 6 yr old golden doodle with Jayendri for 4 days. She managed him very well specially his food as he is a picky eater. The best part of leaving my pup with Jayendri was that I got transparent updates about food and walks and even if the walk schedules were modified. This is something I have not seen with other sitters. Gibbs came back happy and I would love to leave him back again when we go on holidays.

James, Nicolette, and their children took excellent care of our nine month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Lizzy was treated as part of their loving family and had plenty of exercise and attention. My wife and I received constant updates and photos. I highly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation in the future.

Andrii was really good with our cats and they looked incredibly peaceful in every picture he sent to us. He was also super responsive to any messages from us and even helped carry all of our cat gear in and out. We would definitely use Andrii again if he's available.

Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use: --- We couldn’t be happier with Katrina as our dogsitter! She is incredibly communicative and keeps us updated every step of the way. It’s clear she has a lot of experience. Our dogs warmed up to her right away and are always relaxed and happy when we return. Being able to go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing our dogs are getting the absolute best care and attention, is priceless. Highly recommended!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
