“Angela and her family took amazing care of my dog while I was out of state. She is really kind, friendly and thoughtful and sent lots of pictures and updates daily. My dog is usually indifferent to new people but was immediately excited to meet Angela. I could tell that my dog was relaxed and comfortable in her care. 10/10 Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I've not professionally trained any pet, but I've trained every pet I've had for life, love, respect as a member of my home. Every pet has to know the boundaries so that we can live in peace and harmony with each other4. Once they learn what is and isn't acceptable, there is mutual love and respect in the house. Since I retired, I'm home most of the day except for appointments or errands. I doggie sat my grand doggie for my son quite often. Starting out, I prefer to care for pets in my home. I live in a Condo. I don't have a yard, but I do have an unfenced in Courtyard right in front of my steps. Before my son's dog, passed away last year, I used to take her to several different parks for walks as well. She also loved long rides. We walked at the National Harbour, Yards Park, Tucker's Park, and the DC Warf. While she was with me, I'd send videos to my son of how she was doing and our activities, especially while he was on travel or vacation.
“Nadia was spectacular! She walked Ginsburg regularly and kept us updated on her activities, most regularly with photos. She wanted to send more updates, but I shared that it was unnecessary. Periodically would be fine. As a new owner of a 6-month-old puppy, and a first-time boarder, I know that puppy-energy can sometimes be a challenge. Nadia took it all in stride, providing a safe and suitable environment…and assuaging any trepidations we may have had as first-time Rover users. Thx, Nadia!”

“Melanie is so great with Barton! She keeps him on his normal routine and makes sure he feels loved. I love that I can drop Barton off with her and don’t have to worry about whether he’s going to be taken care of. 5 stars!”

“Krista was a great caretaker for Hugo! She was very communicative and proactive. She arranged a pre-stay meet and greet, sent thorough daily updates, and was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times to accommodate travel changes. Hugo had a great time, and so did we on our vacation, knowing that he was in great care!”

“Cierra took great care of our dog, Buc-ee! Buc-ee immediately felt comfortable with her and I could tell from the photo updates she was very relaxed and happy the entire time we were away. I really appreciate that Cierra was able to accommodate our last minute booking since our previously booked Rover canceled on us with limited notice. Would book again”

“Chris and his family took great care of my babies. My normal sitter was unavailable and Chris responded promptly with his availability. His communication is top tier and he sent plenty of pictures. Thank you Chris and family!”

“Allie is wonderful! She has watched my pup twice and each time I’ve felt confident he is being very well taken care of. She was also incredibly understanding after weather delayed my flight home and I had to pick him up much later than expected. Would highly recommend!”

“Brieana and her family were absolutely amazing! We had a last minute cancellation with the person who typically watches Vito and she responded immediately and set up a meet greet. We could sense the comfort Vito felt with the family the second he walked in so we already had an overwhelming feeling of calm going into our weekend. When picking him up he was so happy but also super relaxed and it was clear he had a great stay with them. I couldn’t suggest Brieana enough. She will be at the top of our list for Vito I’m pretty sure he’s found a new best friend 😊.”
“Aaron and Paweena were absolutely amazing! For our first experience with Rover, we couldn't have asked for better sitters for our Ruby. They updated us every day with pictures and videos and were very caring for our pup! We would definitely use them again in the future! Your dog will be in great hands with them!”

“Juan & Felipe (and Roma!) were fantastic hosts for Maple. They were very communicative and Maple was well cared for. She'll definitely be staying with them again!”


“I had a great experience leaving Suki with Emery for a weekend and would absolutely book with her again. Very communicative, responsive, and easy to coordinate with from start to finish. Was so understanding and was easy to coordinate when my travel plans changed our schedule. Really appreciate it! Will hopefully book with Emery again!”

“Shelby was great to work with. She was communicative during our last-minute trip and provided daily updates and photos. My pup came home tired and in a good mood. Overall, it was a positive experience.”

“Artina was great! Our normal sitter wasn’t available and she was able to accommodate our last minute boarding request. She put us at ease knowing Bailey was in good hands while we were gone.”

“This was our first time utilizing Rover and stumbled across April’s profile and decided to use her to take care of our precious Blue. April had amazing energy and greeted us with smiles and hugs! While having a busy wedding weekend April made sure to send us updated pictures each day which put our mind at ease. Blue was very well taken care of and we will be back to give April our business again! Thank you April!”


“I have used Toni for doggy daycare before, and was very happy with the great care she took of Bo. Unsurprisingly, I had an equally happy pup after two nights boarding with Toni. Bo has separation anxiety, and I am always confident Toni will give him the love and attention he needs. She's very responsive, and her pup Buddy is a very respectful guy. I would be happy to send Bo for another stay with Toni!”

“Chad is my go-to dog sitter for a reason. He's watched my dog many times, and every single experience has been perfect. He is 100% reliable, and a great communicator. I can travel without a single worry, knowing my fur-baby is in the best hands. Highly, highly recommend!”


About: Cat papi Trav. Good for watching after your little fluff of love while you’re out enjoying yourself. Avid pet lover, but have a soft spot for cats Work from home so I have time to sneak in belly rubs and ear scratches throughout the day. If your cat/dog isn’t the most social we car look at each other from the across the room. I have a 2 bed room condo. Enough space for all to enjoy themselves. A nice park for the walks, and nice windows for the cats to peer into the outside world.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in District Heights is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - District Heights
Diego and Natalia are THE BEST SITTERS for my Snow who demands love, attention and closeness. The photos of Snow playing with their cat's toy, at the window with their cat, both of them looking out of the the window is a regular meeting place with each other. At home Snow has started perching herself on the back of our sofa and even enjoying some of her best naps of the day. My family is very grateful for the care and attentiveness of Diego and Natalia toward Snow but also to the other pets being boarded during the same time. Photos of the pets hanging out together are reassuring that all the pets are well regarded by these sitters.

You da best! Thanks for caring for Blaze as you did, thank you for the daily pics, thank you for being flexible, agreeing to extend Blaze’s stay after unforeseen changes and thank you for your clear responsive communication. I would book Jayla again in a heartbeat and I know Blaze would agree.

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.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
