“This was my first time using Rover. Lynette and Vincent were amazing! We did an initial meet &:greet the day before which made the drop off very easy! They sent daily updates with pictures which was very reassuring! I will definitely use them sgain!:”
“Corey is amazing. We used him for boarding services. He took very great care of Duchess and treated her has his own. He provided a status and pictures of her multiple times per day. I will definitely use his services again! Thank you so much Corey!”
“This is my second time sharing our Willow with Kelly and Maurice. Super kind, quick to respond, and I always know Willow is in great hands. Highly recommend!!!”
“Payton and Graham were fantastic with our dog, Indy. They have a backyard he loved playing in, but even more impressive they were able to get his halter on (he's extremely headshy) and take him on actual walks. Videos they sent showed Indy snuggling with Payton in a way he has only done with us before. Communication was excellent, and Indy clearly loved being there. Not only would we book again with Payton and Graham, I'm doing so right now!”
“We had a great experience with Diego and Natalia watching Monty and Oliver. They were very communicative and sent lots of updates, photos, and videos while we were away, which we really appreciated. Our dogs are energetic and full of personality, and they were patient and great with them. We came home to two happy dogs and would definitely book with him again.”
“Mark and his family were an absolute pleasure to work with. Gianni and Milan have never been so happy upon their return. Mark paid very close attention to each dogs needs and personality. He was extremely observant and attentive when explaining their daily routine. You can always tell how well cared for your fur babies are while they are there and when they return. He mad sure to send daily updates and some AMAZING pics of our dogs. We can’t event get them to smile that much lol will definitely use his services again for sure!”
“?????Five stars for Lillian! Our pup Cupcake had a great stay with Lillian! She communicated well & was very responsive. She took lots of great photos and videos, and she was kind enough to drop off Cupcake at the end when our schedules didn’t align. I would definitely recommend letting Lillian dog sit your pup! Cupcake will be back Lillian so be prepared! Lol! ?”
“Louie had the best time with Crystal! We loved all of the photo updates we got of him playing and going on long walks with the other pups! He had an absolute blast and we will definitely continue to use her for future stays!”
“Tommy is quiet and calm and communicative and seems to be unflappable and very capable when it comes to pet care. Am happy to have found him and will happily entrust my three dogs with him again.”
“Joe was great and we would be happy to leave Dakota in his care again. He was super flexible and provided daily updates which were really appreciated. Dakota made some dog friends and seemed to enjoy his lengthy visit. Joe lives near a wooded area so it was nice for Dakota to be a little bit out of the chaos of the city.”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Sabrina was a lifesaver! We booked to board with someone else and they canceled at the last minute. Sabrina was able to help us out. My pups LOVED her (8 year old golden doodle, and 2 year old mini poodle). We’ve found our new favorite pet sitter and we’ll be booking with her from now on.”
“Zulma took such great care of my two Shitzus Louie & Zoey. I got regular photo/video updates which I really appreciated. She asked for permission, which I gave, to bathe them, they were most likely smelly due to the weather. Can I tell you when we picked them up they were so silky, shiney and soft! Even more so than when they come from the groomers. I really must ask her what is the product she used! We will most definitely book her again!”
“Jayla took great care of our girl Ruby while we were out of town for the holiday break. She kept us informed and provided picture upgrades of our girl along the way. Definitely will rebook with her again when we’re in need.”
“Stephanie was such a great host to my dog Bruno, she maintained communication/updates throughout the visit and was very attentive to my instructions for Bruno given he has a hard time adjusting to new places. Would definitely book with them again! -Lindsay”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“Nicole was amazing! She communicated very well, sent texts with updates, she sent pictures and she answered every call and text. I was nervous for my first boarder experience but she made it SO easy and comfortable! Her energy and aura will make you feel at ease! I will definitely be using her again💯”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - District Heights
Excellent care from start to finish. My dog came home happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciated the attention and care that was provided. I would definitely recommend this sitter to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable caregiver for their pet.
Ivy and Ruby rarely show excitement when visiting or spending time with humans, they tend to be rather chill or nonchalant. However, when they connect the dots that they are visiting with Lillian, they get excited and I see joy in them that brings me much comfort. Thank you Lilian for creating space for my little girls and for providing them exceptional care.
Mark and his family are the best home away from home for my baby. Quick response time, and very flexible when it comes to drop off and pick up, even when travel plans changed at the last minute. I appreciate the beautiful photos that I receive as well, all showing that Spud is having the best time!
We had a wonderful experience with Jayla! She was incredibly friendly, flexible with scheduling, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for our pet was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Tommy H.responded quickly and thankfully accommodated a last minute booking. He had an organized approach with intros, drop off, and pickup. He communicated daily with updates. When flight was delayed, he worked with another family member for pickup. 5 out of 5 gold 🌟 star service. Highly recommend Tommy H.
Linda was perfect! Extremely timely, communicative and my senior doggy loved her. She sent photos and video updates Drop off and pick up very smooth My dog did not want to leave her when I picked her up. Perfection!! Thanks so much, will absolutely call Linda again.

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 District Heights 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 District Heights 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 District Heights 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 District Heights.
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 District Heights 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.
