“Shuling was outstanding with her loving care for our 4 year old Venus. She followed our feeding instructions and provided pictures and/or videos daily. The pics showed how happy Venus had adjusted in her home with her dog Bear and other dogs at times. Shuling could be a photographer because she took the best pics. I am so thankful for the loving care Shuling provided for our pup. This was the longest we left Venus and she was well taken care of. I believe Venus is missing her new friend Bear because when I mention his name she gives a positive response. We will definitely use Shuling in the future. I would highly recommend Shuling for anyone considering a dog sitter. Thanks again Shuling and your family!”
“Katie was amazing with my dog! She was flexible on drop off and pickup. She also sent many pictures to jeep us updated. She treated her like one of her own pups. My dog did not want to leave!”
“Roxie had a great time with Jake and Melissa. They sent me pictures of her which made my day. I did not have to worry about her at all which is so nice when being on vacation. Would absolutely use them again!!”
“Our first time boarding with Shelby was a great experience! She was flexible, communicative, and followed all care instructions for our dog Loki. Will definitely be calling her up in the future.”
“Thank you so much Elaine for taking good care of my dog Kala. Your caring for my dog was above and beyond my expectations. Elaine sent us lots of photos of Kala during her stay. Kala looked so comfortable at her place. We would love to leave Kala for future boarding at Elaine's home. You are a fantastic pet sitter.”
“Emily was a fantastic sitter for Rudy! This was our first time with Emily and Rover and the experience was all positive. Emily kept in daily contact sending brief texts and/or pictures of Rudy that truly set my mind at ease during this first visit. Rudy also enjoyed playing with Emily's dogs, Pumpkin and Scooter. We would definitely use Emily again!”
“Tiffany was very responsive when something was not right with one of our dogs during the boarding and went above and beyond trying to help. Her responsiveness allowed us to address the situation promptly.”
“Kathy did a great job. Luna our dog was very relaxed when we picked her up. Our dog gets easily stress out when we are away. Not this time :-) She had a great time with Kathy. Thank you very much.”
“Our Willow was well loved during our trip away. It was very reassuring that while we were on vacation, so was she! She loved going to the family farm and running around with the other pups. We received many photos and updates on how Willow was doing throughout her stay. We are so grateful for Andy and Lydia!”
“Yukia was awesome! My dog left her house very happy. She took him on walks and he got to play with other dogs. She also worked with me and added an extra day when I realized I messed up the schedule. I highly recommend Yukia.”
“Laura was so amazing and great with Wilfred, she was in constant communication and my dog seemed very happy and well taken care of when I picked him up afterward. Would highly recommend!!”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, and know how to take care of them. I also have experience with cats, I have helped my grandfather with a stray cat that chose him! I'm openly available, as of today. I like to volunteer, but that usually only takes about 4 or 5 hours. I will give your pet the time it needs. You make sure that they have plenty of fresh water, eat on time, and walk them every day when the sun is not too hot, eg in the morning or evening.
“Carla was great with our Aussie! Her dog kept her great company and they had a wonderful time playing. Carla was extremely responsive, prompt, and friendly. We will definitely choose her again!”
About: Does your pet need special attention? Strong pup who needs a confident handler? Leery feline with trust issues? I got you. My own dog is a “foster fail” who was considered a “yellow” dog who was very untrusting of people. Now he is a lazy lapdog with no cares in the world. Lots of work to get there but I’d love to help anyone else who struggles to ring “the right” sitter for their stubborn pet. I have volunteered at the local spca to walk all the dogs (with pitties having that special place in my heart). Looking to build a new work/life balance focused on taking care of animals so I am free most days and times of the day. Weekends, daytimes and evenings welcome. Each animal is different. Some pets need time to warm up so I approach animals with respect in their own homes and take the time to gain their trust. I tend to get down on the animals level and let them approach me.
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Hannah, and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! I am a big animal lover and have been taking care of animals from kittens to Rottweilers for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a lifetime of experience caring for pets - whether they be my own or someone else’s. When I moved out and got my first pet two years ago, I discovered the struggle of balancing real life and responsibilities as a pet parent. When I made the move to Annapolis, I saw many others working through the same struggle - to balance life and pets. That’s where I want to help! You can be a good pet owner, no matter how busy life gets! I am available for walks, feedings, boarding, potty training, or whatever you might need support with! As a current dog mom myself, I want to support everyone out there who is trying their best to find that difficult balance for their critters. Don’t worry, you’ve got this, and I can’t wait to meet your pet! I currently work part-time on a flexible schedule, so I am able to go home quite a bit throughout the day to check on pets. I am available to give two mile or longer walks a day, and at least one mid-day bathroom break. I do have my own dog, Rose, and she lives in the apartment as well, so any dogs need to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated- just like she is. Your pet will have their own separate bedroom from Rose, that provides a calm, safe space for them during the day (and also gives any non dog-savvy cats a space alone). This bedroom will house their kennel, bed, food and water bowls, and anything else you’d like them to have. My apartment complex is very animal friendly and has a dog park right on sight for your furry friend to get off leash time. There are multiple side walks and small trails throughout my apartment community where I am free to walk dogs that stay with me. If I am commuting to your home, your dog will be guaranteed two long walks a day at feeding times and one mid-day bathroom break (more if needed). I can provide baths in my apartment or your home, and grooming if necessary.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Donovans Pier
Kaci took care of my dog when I went on vacation and it was great! She kept me updated on my dog the entire time and kept her very active. It was such a relief to know that my dog was being cared of by someone who clearly has a lot of love for animals and is trustworthy and responsible. We will definitely have our dog stay with Kaci in the future.
Katie made Rosie feel right at home right away. Rosie has always been a bit slow to come around. She sent plenty of photos and videos and was very responsive. She even responded within minutes after we had picked up Rosie when I accidentally called her. She genuinely has a caring heart. Definitely recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Donovans Pier 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 Donovans Pier.
<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 Donovans Pier 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 , 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 .
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.
