“Sriju was personable and made me and most importantly, my dog feel comfortable. I could tell he enjoyed being with her. Sriju was amenable to my instructions and gave my dog medicine without concerns. She sent me pictures daily and was approachable and friendly. A friend had recommended her and Sriju was fantastic. She even let my dog sleep with her; I think he behaved better than me. I highly recommend Sriju and thank her for making us feel at peace so we could enjoy our vacation!”
“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“I wish I could give Anna and her family more than five stars! They had my little 10 pound Havanese, Bella, for a week while I was away in October. From the meet and greet, to the drop off, to the pick up, I never had any doubt I found excellent people to care for and love Bella. A special thanks to her son, Clark, who from the moment we arrived each time was there to show Bella she was loved and could be part of the family. Anna sent photos with updates that gave me extra peace of mind. Bella was able to get more fresh air each day than she’s used to, running and playing on their beautiful surrounding property. I believe you can absolutely trust them to take the best care of your beloved pet. I will definitely turn to them again when I need care for Bella. I felt like Bella was having a spa vacation while I was away!”
“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”
“Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!”
“Cheryl is amazing with our shy pup. Our girl loves spending time with her and we felt absolutely comfortable leaving her when we were out of the country. Already have a few future dates in mind!”
“This was Kirbys first stay with Colleen. I was a little nervous leaving him with someone I didn't know but after reading the reviews and how well the meet and greet went, I knew Kirby would be in great hands! Colleen is very friendly and I could tell she loves dogs! Colleens property is beautiful and has lots of fenced in space for running around and having fun! Colleen kept me updated daily with pictures which I really appreciated. Kirby loves playing with other dogs so it was important to me for him to have other pups to play with. We will definitely have Kirby stay with Colleen and her pups again!! Thanks Colleen!”
“I looked into quite a few sitters before choosing Todd because I really wanted to make sure my dog would be as comfortable as possible while I was away. Todd ended up being the perfect choice! He took great care of Koda, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. If you’re considering leaving your dog with Todd, I definitely recommend him!”
“Karen was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. My chichahua loved staying with her! Karen sent us photos and updates each day. It was a relief to see how much fun my dog was enjoying and how well she was cared for. We will leave my sweet dog with Karen every time we need a sitter.”
“We were a bit anxious leaving our pup for the first time, but were soon put at ease after we received videos and pics of him getting settled in. Each time we received a pic, we could see him becoming more-and-more at home. When we finally saw him sleeping on his back with his legs up in the air, we knew he was comfortable! Christina/Alex made the process very easy, and we would def recommend them to anyone in need.”
“Phil and Amanda were wonderful to us. A trip that was supposed to last 20 days ended up being extended due to a health issue. They were understanding and took excellent care of our little one. They are a special family who truly love animals. We are grateful for everything.”
“Christa is very kind, Caring and polite. She listens and follow up per your request according to your need for your fur baby. She answers to messages very quickly and send you picture of your fur baby while the pet is there . Our pet came home happy. She packed everything clean back to us. I love her service and my pet loves her. A big five star and above .”
“Had my 5 year old Westie stay with Piero’s family for labor day weekend & had an amazing experience! Piero was communicative & provided updates throughout Summer’s stay. He also groomed her which was an added plus! Will definitely be using Piero again in the future!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Dickerson can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Dickerson 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 Dickerson.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dickerson. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Dickerson 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
