“Rodney and Marissa loved on and took care of my big baby. They are very patient and first class when it came to handling Eros, who is a handful! I highly recommend them and will continue to work with them in the future.”
“This latest stay with Mila was the longest that Woodford has had with anyone, and we were admittedly nervous because of some separation issues he has. He was happy and excited to see us but was unexpectedly calm. Mila has developed a close bond with him, which puts both him and us at ease when we’re out of town. We’ll continue to use her as our preferred sitter going forward! :)”
“Carla was very flexible to a last minute cancelation we had from another Rover boarder. She was not only highly communicative with pictures but also was so accommodating to special requests. We will be using her in the future.”
“Kimberly is the best, she took such great care of my Neco. She cared for him for 6 days through the Thanksgiving Holiday. She sent me great pictures and videos of him daily. She is a true dog lover. I will definitely be booking her again to care for my dog.”
“Keyona was great with my 6 year old Shih Tzu. My mind was at ease with knowing he was in good hands, considering he’s never been with anyone other than a family member. She sent pictures and videos each day, which was a plus. I would definitely book with her again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our puppy dog received from Jena! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. We received daily updates with videos and pictures, which were such a comforting touch and really showed how much fun he was having. It was clear he was being treated like one of the family. When he came home, he was happy, healthy—and completely exhausted from all the playtime and attention! We're so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved animals. Especially dogs. I have owned, trained, and taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I have a special connection with dogs and bond with every dog I meet. My calming nature helps keep my furry friends at ease and trust in me. I am responsible, hardworking, empathetic, determined, and reliable. I truly believe that dogs are our best friends. I love taking long walks with dogs and giving them all the love, attention, care, and cuddles they need. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to work with and accommodate your pets needs or any special instructions. Making sure your pets are safe, happy, cared for, and in good hands is my top priority! I will treat your precious pets like they are my own fur children. I am currently on leave from my full time position temporarily, so I have plenty of time to give all my attention and love to your pet/pets. I am flexible and happy to accommodate whether it's a walk, drop in, house sitting, day care, or boarding in my home. My schedule is free and open to help you and your beloved fur family members. I have a 3 level house with lots of grass and space for your fur babies to walk and run and play! I am a softie when it comes to pets, especially dogs, and I will always take the best care of them and spoil them extra for you if you want as if they were my own. I am happy to accommodate any preferences and any comforts or rules you provide your pet regarding furniture, treats, special care, etc. I do not have any children or pets of my own in my home currently.
“Ebony did a great job with our Rusty. She sent pictures and videos every day. When he had an upset belly and needed a diet modification, she had no problem making adjustments! Thanks, Ebony!”
“We booked Ashley to watch our dog as we were going out of town for the Christmas holiday. We couldn't be happier; Ashley was responsive, sent pictures and it looked like our doggie might have had a better vacation than we did! Our dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes and Ashley handled the insulin administration with no concerns and even went out of her way to get more insulin from our vet! Ashley and her family were welcoming and they have a beautiful property for your dogs to roam. We look forward to booking with her more!”
About: I’m a loving pet mom who enjoys caring for animals, giving them attention, affection, walks, playtime, and making them feel safe and comfortable every day. I work an early schedule from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings for walks, playtime, and attention. I’m off Sundays and Mondays, giving me even more flexibility for pet care and boarding. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy time outside. I also have two dogs and a cat at home, so I’m used to caring for multiple pets. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and instructions closely while providing plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and walks. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family.
“They were so great we felt in peace our baby was with them. Very loving, patient, organized and great communication. I appreciated the many many pictures and videos and them being on point with Pachas routine and doing extras for training . We highly recommend them!😊”
“James and Mary are great! You can tell that they really care about the dogs and enjoy having them. I always feel good leaving my two dogs with them. My dogs love staying with James and Mary and have so much fun.”
“Ayanna was truly amazing with my baby boy! I was nervous to leave him and she made me feel very comfortable and put my mind at ease! I will definitely be booking with her again! Thanks again Ayanna!”
“Communication with Christina was great throughout the entire booking process. I really appreciated that she took the time to ask about my dog’s needs, especially since she’s a rescue. Christina also sent me updated pictures throughout the stay, which I really appreciated and helped put my mind at ease. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Delight
This is the first time we left our dog with anyone other than family to go on vacation. We met Mila ahead of time. As soon as we met her we got a good vibe and could tell our Boo would be in good hands. She is the kind of person who loves animals and connects with them. While away, she sent pictures and told us how he was doing, which we appreciated. Our dog can be very nervous and anxious but when we picked him up he was very relaxed and calm. We will definitely use Mila again and feel like he will have a good vacation too!
Phyo was absolutely wonderful as a pet sitter! I felt completely comfortable knowing my Anderson was in such caring and capable hands. Phyo was attentive, responsible, communicative, and clearly treated Anderson like his own. I appreciated the updates (especially the photos!) and the peace of mind knowing everything was being taken care of while I was away. I highly recommend Phyo to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring pet sitter. I would absolutely book with him again!
I would give Brianna 10 stars if I could! Excellent communication before and during my dogs stay with her. She was gentle with him and was sure to understand the dos and don’ts. She sent pics daily and my dog looked relaxed and happy! I highly recommend her services, and will be booking with her again!
Carla is absolutely amazing with my dog, from the moment I drop him off until I pick him up there is constant communication. Pictures of him playing and having fun. I will always bring him to her home. He is so comfortable and always enjoys himself. I can’t thank her enough for always watching my Brownie. We Thank You!!
Mariah is the perfect sitter for my Bentley…I was gone on a cruise for 8 days and Bentley was in Mariah’s care for 10 days and she is outstanding!!! Bentley even received while in her care as well. Highly recommended, Greatly appreciated. Will definitely request her again for a 4th time.
We are extremely grateful for how Jillian, Bobby, and their daughter took care of our dog. They sent us lots of pictures and gave us consistent updates on how he was doing. It really gave us the peace of mind we needed in order to enjoy our time away from home. We look forward to Sherlock, staying with them again.
Brad was terrific! 5 stars all the way. Our dog stayed ant Brad’s home and was clearly well loved as she wasn’t entirely sure she wanted to hop in my car to go home at the end of the stay. Brad communicated well and sent photos and updates daily. He is obviously very knowledgeable about and comfortable with dogs. I would use him again in a heartbeat.

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 Delight 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 Delight.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Delight 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.
