“Poh was lovely! I was going out of town last minute and therefore needed a last minute booking and Poh was available with fast response times as well. She has great rates and took amazing care of my dog, she even offers grooming and cut my pups nails over the weekend! She sent daily photos/videos of my pup with others, and took great care of him. Her dogs are also adorable and well behaved. Very kind and professional boarder, we will definitely rebook in the future whenever he requires a home away from home!”
“Sophia is amazing! We’ve trusted her with Tako for years now. Her photo updates and quick communication always show just how happy Tako is in her care. She truly knows dogs and genuinely cares about them. Having Sophia look after Tako gives us complete peace of mind every time we're away. Thank you, Sophia!”
“Wendy is our go-to every time when Leo needs to be taken care of. She’s responsive and trustworthy. Leo was happy and taken good care of every single time! Thank you Wendy!”
“Nicole was great with my dog! She took plenty of time to ask thoughtful questions about her habits and behaviors, and took care of her accordingly. She was very prepared and had contingency plans in case our dogs didn’t get along (but they did!) and sent photos and videos throughout the weekend.”
“Diana and her family were amazing! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter from Rover and couldn’t have asked for a sweeter experience. She sent several updates with lots of photos of our puppy playing with her kids, on walks, and even learning new tricks. So adorable… and comforting! Will definitely book with Diana again!”
“Huan took excellent care of my dog for the time he was with her. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. My dog came back happy and relaxed—he clearly got lots of attention, great walks, and plenty of belly rubs. She’s kind, personable, and truly attentive. I highly recommend her for boarding and sitting.”
“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.”
“Joseph and his wife are amazing. My pup has the absolute best time staying with them and playing with Odin (who btw is the sweetest dog). When I drop Chewie off for a long stay, I know he will be well taken care of, and loved like he is at home. What more could you ask for?”
“Shadid was great with our pup. She did a very slow and careful introduction of our dog to her dog, which worked really well. It can take our pup a while to warm up to other dogs, but they became best friends. Shadid was very flexible which we really appreciated because our travel home from our trip was delayed due to the weather. Shadid was great at communicating and sent good photos and updates. Will definitely use Shadid again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we first connected, Tatyana was kind, professional, and truly caring. They treated my pup like family—sending me regular updates, pictures, and even little notes about how the day was going. I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and loved.”
“Gail was an excellent sitter to my pup! They sent daily photos and videos, and was very quick to respond. They even put together the cutest birthday for my dog since we were out of town and unable to celebrate. They ordered a cake and everything! Since moving to the DMV area 3 years ago, Gail is the best sitter we have found. You are in wonderful hands with Gail and we are looking forward to using them in the future!”
“My dog absolutely adores this pack. She gets so excited to see them and basically wags her tail and plays the entire visit. And just like clockwork when she comes home she drops into deep sleep and I know she’s exhausted and happy.”
“Jiao kept in close communication about our dog. She sent several pictures and videos per day. My dog acted happy and playful in her house. She came recommended by a friend and I would definitely book with her again.”
“I can not say enough good things. Leaving my dog is always hard. Kasey completely but my mind at ease. I loved the daily updates and pictures. Kasey took excellent care of Penny. I will absolutely be booking with Kasey again.”
“We are first time users of Rover and are so happy we found Carrie. Finnegan really enjoyed his overnight visit, and was welcomed into Carrie’s home as if it were his own. Carrie was extremely attentive to Finnegan’s needs and communicated with me frequently from the start. Finnegan can’t wait to go back in a few weeks!”
“Bryn took such wonderful care of Leo over the weekend—we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Leo had an amazing time with her and absolutely loved spending time with her dog, Kepler. It was clear he felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. In fact, Leo enjoyed his stay so much that he didn’t even want to come back home! That says everything about how great Bryn is. If there were more than 5 stars, we would gladly give them to her. We will 100% be booking with Bryn again in the future. She is truly the best on the entire Rover website!”
“I do not know what Katherina could possibly do to make me a happier pet mom. She saved me at the very last minute; she gave the dogs (and cat) exceptional attention; and she is just so dang nice! The most telling thing to me about my dogs is when they are simultaneously happy to have me home, and show signs of not having missed me. Thank you Katherina!”

Poh was wonderful with our dog! You can tell she really knows what she's doing, which put us at ease right away. Her setup is adorable, and her own dogs are such gentle sweethearts. They got along great with Scooby and she truly made him part of the family. She sent photo updates daily so we always knew he was doing well. After seven days of boarding we picked up a very happy dog. We'd absolutely book with her again!
Copper spent 3.5 weeks with Lucy's family. Lucy was patient and calm. They took good care of him, including brushing his teeth, and they sent a lot of photos everyday. Copper missed them when we picked him up; he came back happy and well rested. We will definitely have them watch Copper in the future.
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.

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 Derwood home-away-from-home, 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.
<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 Derwood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

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.

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.
