“My husband and I used Shane and Brittany’s boarding services for a long weekend and would definitely recommend to anyone else who needs a sitter for their fur baby. Price was very reasonable, especially compared to big boarding facilities in the area. I was a bit worried as my dogs can be a little rambunctious and unpredictable but all the dogs got along great and had a good time. Shane sent many pictures to keep us in the loop. He reassured us that he would keep a close eye on Enzo and Mac as they like to escape/get into trouble. Overall, very pleased and will use them in the future.”

“Taylor was wonderful! She took such good care of my pups, I think they were sad to leave! Communication was perfect and she also sent lots of pics. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“This was my pups first time being with a sitter and he was very much in good hands. I got the impression he didn’t want to leave. Robin sent pictures and videos throughout his stay. She also accommodated my request for an extra night, which I throughly appreciated.”

“We had a great experience with Christhian! He was easy to collaborate with, flexible, and was very responsive to messages. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of.”

“Brittanie and Ryan were wonderful sitters for our dog this weekend! She seemed to have gotten very comfortable in their home pretty quickly and had no issue coexisting with their dogs at all. They sent frequent update pictures and really went above and beyond bringing our dog to our wedding so she could be included in our pictures. Overall great first Rover experience and would happily use them again!”

“Annette was very responsive and took care to make sure that Buddy felt comfortable in her home. I would recommend her for folks that need overnight care for their pups (large or small). Thank you.”

“Angela was so very warm, welcoming, and kind to our puppy. Minnie took to her right away, and because of the meet and greet, she knew exactly where we were going when we dropped her off. Angela was very thorough, asking all the important questions, and she even let my daughter visit to say hi to Minnie.”


“Jacquline was very efficient with feedback and she sent pictures of bailey enjoying her time with Jacquline family. Jacquline is kind and loves animals. She and her daughter was the perfect match for bailey while I was on vacation. I would definitely work with Jacquline again.🥰🥰”


“Gigi seemed at home, comfortable and at ease. I received pics and videos daily. Shantia was very pleasant, accommodating and flexible; she came through for us in a last minute crisis. Thanks Shantia!!!”

“Bria was awesome with my dog. She communicated with me at least on a daily basis with picture updates. I could tell she was well cared for on her pick up day as it took her a second to recognize me! I think we’ve found a home for her when I’m away.”

“I have left Yoda with Lingli on multiple occasions when I'm out of town. My experience with her has always been great! She takes very good care of him and he is always happy to see her :) She is also very diligent at keeping me updated with photos which I greatly appreciate! I highly recommend her :)”

“Ginnie took amazing care of my puppy Mischa while my boyfriend and I were in Italy for two weeks. She is great with animals and has a real gift for caring for dogs. And I know my puppy loved her big yard. I will definitely be using her again!”

“Aviah is AWESOME! I cannot say enough about great care Aviah showed my babies. She was very professional and knowledgeable of my elderly dogs' needs and patient with their personalities :-). Aviah's passion for dogs was evident in my babies excitement - they did not want to leave!!! I am so pleased I found her and will continue to trust her my pets because I know they will be taken care of.”

“Jason was great he made both of my dogs feel super comfortable. Ella and Fitz looked like the had a blast hanging out with him. His communication was excellent and I loved receiving all the pictures.”
“Sabrina and Ryan are amazing. They gave constant photos of Sarge and how he was enjoying himself. They have a great backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. We also liked that there were plenty of dog beds for him to choose from. They also helped us out when our flight was canceled and totally was fine with watching Sarge a couple more days which was really helpful. We’ll definitely be bringing Sarge back for our next trip. You guys are awesome thanks!”

“Brandon is fantastic! Molly always runs to him during drop off, never looking back at us. She returns home exhausted and sleeps the entire day after because all she does is play and run around!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dorsey
Shane and Brittany give Luna the best treatment! From the many pictures they send, Luna seems to feel very comfortable and like she really enjoys her stay with them. They are very responsive and frequently keep in touch, which is great for peace of mind with any out of town travels! I would highly recommend booking with them every time 🙂🐶

Amanda and Loki were so good to my girl. The updates were so descriptive that I just knew she was in good hands and I looked forward to reading the next one. The photos showed that my little princess, Chatita, did not miss us at all. She was definitely on Holiday as well. Thank you Amanda!

Jingru took wonderful care of cockapoo Luna during her stay. She kept us updated with lovely photos of Luna and Jingru’s dog enjoying plenty of tummy rubs. It was clear Luna felt comfortable and well cared for, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’re grateful to Jingru and would happily book with her again!

Lynn was wonderful with our 1 year old puppy while we were away on vacation for a week. She was communicative, sent numerous videos and pictures throughout the day, and took great care of Scarlett! Lynn took her on walks during the day, was attentive to her and made sure she was eating and drinking. I also love that Lynn has a fenced in yard for the dogs to run around. We will definitely be using her again in the future!

Ava responded quickly to a last-minute request to watch Storm and immediately put our minds at ease. She kept us updated throughout his stay with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Storm was well cared for, and we would book with her again. Highly recommend!

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 Dorsey 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 Dorsey.
<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 Dorsey 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.
