“So this is the first time I used Rover and I couldn’t be more happy Erica and Franklin were the best! They made me feel very comfortable by having a visit before my vacation so that I was able to meet them and see their home and that helped to know it was a perfect fit. They were in constant communication answering text anytime and sending pictures that will of the good times they were having with my pit. I give them credit because some people here that I have a pitbull and get totally turned off and feel some kind of way, but they were completely open to him and invited him in like one of the family. If I could recommend anyone it would definitely be Erica and Franklin . Taking comfort in them having my dog, which is essentially like my child enabled me to enjoy my vacation and I can’t thank them enough. I fully recommend them 100%.”
“Colleen and her family took wonderful care of my dog. She is a very trustworthy and conscientious dog mom. I appreciate that her home has a fenced yard. She also was able to administer daily high drops to my senior dog. I received updates and photos. Thank you Colleen and family!”
“Eli is the best!! I love the care he shows Skittles. I didn’t send enough food for my dog and Eli purchased more food for my furbaby!! The videos and pictures always made me feel good that my Skittles was doing just fine!! Eli will always be my first choice to sit for my dog.”
“Joseph and his wife took amazing care of Kashmere over night. They sent updates through out the entire day/ night with pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing ok. Also kept him on schedule for us so there were no issues for us when we got him back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“She took excellent care of my Basenji. She took her out many times for her to enjoy their lovely yard! She sent me multiple pictures and emails to let me know my girl was in great hands! There are no worries when Vanessa is carrying for your furry family members!”
“TayJuana did an excellent job with Coco! She was patient and understood this was Coco’s first stay with someone else. I can’t wait to use her again and would recommend her for sure.”
“Ashley was amazing with Bingo and provided constant updates. She was very patient with him as it took him some time to get comfortable. Had some personal emergencies, so we had to extend Bingo’s stay, and she was very accommodating.”
“Kyle was an amazing and attentive sitter for our old girl Phoenix. We had a vet appointment the day before and she had received more shots than we anticipated and it did not sit well with her. Kyle was so kind and not weirded out by the sudden bowl issues our pup had under his care and kept us updated all the time. We so appreciate that Kyle was so kind about this and made our wonderful pup comfortable. Definitely consider Kyle if you want an amazing time for your four legged loves!”
“I had an amazing experience with my dog sitter! They took such great care of my pup and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well‑loved. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone who treats my dog like family. Highly recommend!”
“Kyury and her husband, John, went above and beyond for our dog, Arty. From the meet-and-greet through the duration of Arty’s two-week stay, their attention to detail, passion, and genuine care were evident. They helped keep Arty comfortable and eased our concerns about his anxiety. They provided regular updates with photos and videos that did not just check a box but instead provided meaningful information. They were proactive when issues arose—adjusting his feeding when he wasn’t eating well and quickly addressing a rash by notifying us and consulting a vet. At one point, Kyury even fed Arty by hand. After Arty’s stay, Kyury reached out to check on Arty and see how his rash was doing. They truly care about the dogs they watch. We would absolutely use their services again. We (including Arty) were spoiled. They deserve your business.”
“Travis was great with our beagle! Atlas definitely came home spoiled! Travis sent pics and videos to show us how things were going. He was very responsive and the whole process was incredibly easy!”
“Exactly what we were looking for with open space for our boy to run around off leash. Our dog was very happy when we picked him up and looked good for a 10 day visit in the woods!! Sam was great with us on our initial visit. I was very confident and comfortable using his services. We got daily videos and updates which gave us peace of mind on our trip. Thanks”
“Alonni took care of Nala as if she was her own. She sent cute little pictures the entire time and updated me on everything that was going on. Nala enjoyed her stay which even included a walk near the river which she really liked. I would definitely recommend Alonni. ?”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my little pug with Fany. She’s so accommodating and love that she has a little backyard for her fury guests. Thanks so much Fany will see you again!”
“Megan was great! We enjoyed getting photo and video updates. She made our dog feel right at home and helped our dog get more comfortable with being around other dogs.”
“Virginia and her family are lovely. She took such great care of my Macks. It feels so good to get away and know that my girl is also getting a vacation. She had so much fun with Virginia's dogs and her family. I will be excited to book my next trip knowing I can leave my girl in such good hands.”
“Andy was great with my dog! He always sent me photos and pickup/drop off was easy. When I picked my dog up, he didn’t want to leave! It was nice to know that he was in good hands while I was gone.”

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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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.
