“Ivan was awesome. I can't thank him enough for taking care of my girls while I was away. Every day he posted new photos and made sure they were enjoying their walks at the park. Ivan was super patient, especially when I had an unexpected change in my pickup schedule due to the weather. I really appreciate him cutting Sarah's nails too, I didn't expect her to let him. I'd totally recommend Ivan to everyone. Thank you again Ivan, until next time .”
“This was our second time having our Shiba Inu, Koko stay with Sophia. It was a great experience, we knew Koko was in good hands and she was well cared for. Highly recommend Sophia! She and her family really care for their guests and it shows. Our dog was so happy.”
“Maria and Fernando did a great job taking care of Benny. They sent lots of pictures every day, and my dog was very happy when I picked him up. We will definitely be back.”
“Bianca was a wonderful sitter. I knew the moment I met her that my pooch was in good hands which put me at ease. My dog takes time to warm up to people but he was well acquainted with Bianca so quickly. She provided frequent updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her in photos. When I picked my dog up he was crying when she left and was searching for her. I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet.”
“Titan was immediately comfortable with Robin, and we were worry-free during our 8-day vacation. Robin kept us up to date on how Titan was doing and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. We will definitely think of Robin in the future when Titan needs daycare or boarding. Thanks for a great stay!”
“Marylee was absolutely wonderful from the first day I met her to discuss watching my dog Molly. I appreciated how thorough she was with her advance questions about Molly and the opportunity to meet with her first, and really appreciated the way she kept me posted on Molly's day along with the photos she sent. She and her husband Alan's love of dogs shines through!”
“Great job with my boy! My dog gets severe anxiety when I am not around, so he can be a bit to handle. Jenny handled him well, walked him a bit, and got him running outside with the other dogs. He was exhausted on return.”
“Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.”
“We left our precious Ruby with Pam and her family for two weeks and it was the best choice we could have made. Ruby was just finishing her first heat and scheduled to be spayed after we returned from our vacation, and having an unspayed dog was no problem for Pam. She send pics and videos while we were away so we could see our beloved pup. Ruby was so happy to play with her Chihuahua. She does not take in a bunch of dogs at once, which works out perfectly for Ruby, since she seems to cling to one dog at a time when she plays. Pam took great care of Ruby - maybe too great, as Ruby seemed to want to stay with her new best friend when I came to pick her up :-). It was a pleasure working with Pam and most of all a relief knowing that Ruby was in great hands.”
“Outstanding care was provided for my Golden retriever. I'm eager to book another reservation because my dog was so happy when she was with this very kind family! She enjoyed meeting their friendly dog, Dell, and she loved playing with Dell in their large backyard. Communication with James and Nicolette was also great and they were very accommodating when I arrived late to pick-up, due to a snowstorm.”
“Once again you have made both me and my dog very happy. This time you helped when I needed her to be boarded at the last minute. I had to travel for work and it was a complete relief to know that I could leave her in responsible, loving hands. She stayed outside when she could and really loved that. She made friends with some other dogs which was great. You sent me daily photos which helped me cope with being away from my little love. Once again by taking care of my dog with love you really took care of both. of us.”
“Yi was great with our little Chispita. She took care of her with love and shared with me pictures and videos, all the time. I felt confident about how Chispita was. I definitely recommend”
About: Trusted by family and friends to provide attentive pet care, including feeding, exercise, medication, companionship, and maintaining pets’ routines while owners were away, not to mention caring for my own 2 adorable and loving Goldens I’m available for boarding on the weekends, I typically fill my schedule with dog walks around the neighborhood and playing fetch outside in our backyard to give them lots of exercise, during the summer while my teen is home we can provide weekday boarding as well with lots of attention and play while I am at work. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are treated like members of the family. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I keep owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being while maintaining a calm, stress-free environment. I have two friendly resident dogs that can provide companionship for social pets. If your dog prefers their own space or you request separation, I can comfortably keep them apart throughout their stay.
“Adva was a great host. She accepted my last minute request and provided me constant updates throughout the stay. I'm convinced that staying with Adva and her family was like a vacation for my pup. I very highly recommend her as a host and I would definitely book with her again. ”
“Maria is wonderful with my dog Teddy. And he is always so excited to see her when we drop him off. It’s a peace of mind knowing he will be well taken care of, playing with other dogs and getting plenty of attention and exercise with her”
“They paid great care and attention to my lil pup. Available and easy to contact at anytime and accommodated very last minute during a holiday. Would recommend to anyone I felt assured my puppy was in great hands and it was great that so many other dogs were around as well. My dog came back like it was a straight up vacation.”
“Nathalie is excellent! Highly Recommend! I booked her for the first time over the weekend and she exceeded all my expectations! Communication was fantastic from the very beginning — she’s super easy to talk to and replied to all my messages extremely quickly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She sent lots of photos and updates every day, so I never felt out of the loop. It was clear she genuinely loves dogs and is very responsible. I’m already planning to book her again for our next trip. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter, look no further — she’s fantastic! Thank you so much! 🐾”
“Sharon is an excellent dog sitter, highly responsible and kind. She has a fabulous setup for small to mid-sized dogs --- great, fenced yard; extensive deck; and best of all, a homey family environment. Highly recommended!”
“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!”

Aurora loves hanging out with Camilo and his wife! It’s like the best vacation, with multiple walks and enrichment activities everyday and someone with her at the house all day. Camilo is always my first call when I need to travel, because I know Aurora will be taken care of just as well as (or maybe even better than) if she were with me!
John took great care of my dog while I was out of town. I got a mixture of pictures daily from my dog playing as well as taking napping breaks. I loved the good morning and good night check ins so I knew my dog was ok while I was gone. I would gladly book another stay with John and am happy I found a reliable sitter in my neighborhood.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Yumin. She took wonderful care of our dog Wilson while we were on vacation. She was communicative throughout, always keeping us in the loop, and sent update photos that gave us real peace of mind. Best of all, Wilson seemed genuinely happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d absolutely recommend Yumin and would happily book her again.
Carlos was very welcoming of Ruby into his home. We felt completely comfortable leaving Ruby in his care for the three weeks we were out of town, and appreciated the photo and text updates. Ruby came back to us looking well cared for. We certainly will be a repeat customer.
Karen took wonderful care of Munjee while we were away for nearly three weeks. We received consistent updates on how he was doing, including all sorts of pictures that he was well. Karen kept in touch with us and her communication was great. She also took time understood Munjee's reactive behavior in certain times and would do her best to accommodate. We will keep Karen in mind for future instances!
Wow, my boy, Paxton, hit the jackpot staying with Marissa and her family. Its hard handing off your boy to strangers. Within minutes of meeting them I knew it would be great and I was right. Marissa sent me daily updates including pictures. Paxton had tons of walks and play. He was treated like one of the family
My previous rover sitter cancelled a day before my scheduled booking. Israel was able to take my last minute booking for a long weekend with my senior disabled dog. She was very accommodating. My dog had meds that he was unwilling to take with his food even though I brought some shredded cheese for mix-ins, which turned out to be ineffective. Israel provided pill pockets and made sure my dog took his prescription meds. Israel’s was good about providing photos and status update every day. Yoshi seemed happy when I picked him up. I will definitely go back to Israel next time I need to be out of town.

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.
94% of Derwood 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 Derwood 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 Derwood 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 Derwood.
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 Derwood 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.
