“This was my second time booking with Kelly, and I couldn't have been happier. Kelly and her husband, John, are such kind and dedicated dog lovers, and I really appreciated how amazing they were with my shy pup. Also, my pup unfortunately had to go to the ER, and Kelly could not have been more professional and accommodating. She really went above and beyond making sure that my pup was okay, and it was thanks to her care and keen observation that my pup received the care and workup that he needed. I'm so grateful to Kelly!”
“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!”
About: I have been taking care of my personal dogs for over 20 years, since I was a child, I have always had a dog in my house. In the past 5 years, I am the go to person my family and friends go to when they are out of town and they need someone to care for their pet. I recently decided to go back to college to finish my degree, in the mean time, to earn some money I would like to do something with a flexible schedule and something I enjoy, which is taking care of pets! The way I would care for someone’s pet is with love and attention, that is something I would expect as a dog owner myself, I understand how important pets are and how important they are to a family. Prefer if dogs are crate trained, although they will be free to roam during the day I prefer they sleep on a crate since it is the only time of the day I cannot keep an eye on them to make sure they are safe. I work full time from home and am able to spend time with dogs! I am able to provide short-term and/or long-term walks twice a day when caring for your dog. I am able to handle both small and large breeds. I prefer if your dog is comfortable with other dogs as I own a Samoyed puppy. My dog is free to roam around my apartment but sleeps in a crate when it’s bedtime or when unsupervised. Also do take him out for potty breaks every 3-4 hours and goes on 1-2 long walks a day (45 mins to an hour). Can provide more potty breaks/walks to your dog as requested. I would prefer if your dog is crate trained so they can sleep in crate to make sure they are safe during the night. During the day they have full supervision to make sure they are safe! I know carrying a crate is not easy, I have additional crate for them to sleep in! My wife and I recently crate trained our 7 month old Samoyed puppy, we can help your dog as well 😊
“Our dog had such a good time and was in good care. We received dozens of pictures and videos and there was good communication throughout her stay as needed. She returned home healthy, happy, and exhausted from playing so much with the other few dogs in the big back yard. We will definitely be repeat customers!! Thank you Mohammed and family!! ♥️?”
“Robin is great! She truly knows and understands dogs. Right off the bat she was able to tell that our dog was a puller and what to do to prevent it. She figured out his personality quickly and was able to work with him to break him out of his shell! It was amazing to see her walk our dog with other dogs at the same time, keep them together, and have him look so happy/natural. Our dog came home happy and definitely seemed like he had a great time. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Furry companions have been a part of us since childhood. Our first dog has been with us for more than 10 years and we could not imagine a life without him. We will take special care of your companions because we know how important they are to you. Gordon is partially retired and Marianna is on a sabbatical so we have plenty of time to pay special attention to your unique dogs needs. Our dog Crixus and cat Spartacus, both born in 2016, will be gracious hosts to your dog. We have a small fenced back yard where they can spend as much time as they like or they can chill out anywhere in the house. Marianna or Gordon will always be present to ensure that your dog is getting the love and attention they deserve.
“Mindy was great! Super responsive, sent plenty of pictures, and our dogs looked like the genuinely had a great time. She was quick to let us know of any concerns and definitely seemed to be a dog person! Her home is fenced and a great spot for the dogs to explore and just be dogs. Definitely recommend her!!!”
“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! 🐾”
“Koda stayed with Dawn for 4 nights and I was at peace. Dawn shared so many pictures and videos. Dawn shared every detail of Koda's stay with me. Dawn has a huge yard for dogs to run. Koda was happy running and playing with the other dogs. She was fed on schedule and pampered. Dawn helped her to feel at home while she was there. I definitely recommend her for your dogs. Mildred E”
“This was our first time using Rover and our puppy was nervous and sad at first but quickly warmed up! We received pictures and updates of him throughout his stay! 10/10”
“Katherine was super responsive and super sweet to my pup, Kobe. She also sent tons of updates and made Kobe feel right at home. I would 100% recommend Katherine!”
“My dog is very anxious which is why I moved her from a kennel to Ana. And she loves just being with people. Ana and her family gave me regular updates and pictures which set me at ease. They really loved her like we do. And she followed the routine which made it easy to transition her back to home. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jessica and her family were amazing to our two dogs! She was super responsive and willing to accommodate any requests we had. Bear and Winnie had tons of walks and attention, and they absolutely loved their stay for the weekend. The house was perfect with a yard and tons of space to run and play. We would definitely have Jessica and her family watch our dogs again!”
“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.”
“Andy takes great care of our Westie. He’s always happy to stay there, and Andy sends photos of them going on walks and playing and just having a good time. We’ve left him with Andy multiple times and are always comfortable and happy with his care!”
“Karen was wonderful! She gave us lots of updates, pictures, and was super nice in general. She took care of their medication needs as well, as they are senior dogs. We did a meet and greet ahead of time. Our babies were very calm around her and it gave me peace of mind knowing that they were so well taken care of. She took them on lots of walks as well. I plan to keep Karen at the top of my list when I need a dog sitter next!”

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the service provided. I was informed of my dogs feedings and walks. I also received photos and she truly seemed to enjoy her stay. Will be returning. ¡Me encantó, encantó, encantó el servicio! Me mantuvieron informada sobre las comidas y los paseos de mi perrita. También recibí fotos y se notaba que disfrutó mucho de su estadía. ¡Sin duda volveré a llevarla!
Nicole was so wonderful with our dog who we left with her for the weekend. She was very communicative with lots of great photos and made sure our dog had a great time! We highly recommend Nicole and will be very happy to trust her with watching our dog again in the future!
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.

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.

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.
