“My dog Kiwi loved spending time at Auntie Kelly’s house. Beautiful family with lots of love to give to pups. Will definitely rebook. Thank you guys for taking great care of my girl!”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy in someone’s else’s care and she was amazing with that process. She has dogs for my pup to play with. Amazingly clean home. Kept updating me with pictures and replies right away to messages. She’s going to be my go-to person every time we visit El Paso.”
“I couldn’t be happier with our experience! They boarded my puppy for four nights and took such wonderful care of him. I received daily updates, along with plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. They are a warm, friendly couple and it’s clear they truly love what they do. My pup came home happy, calm, and well-loved. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again!”
“Lindsay was great, as well as her family. She provided pictures and responded quickly with any questions. I would definitely recommend and use her in the future! You can leave your pet without worry!”
“Donna was very accommodating. I initially had to change my booking and then I had the wrong time entered in for drop off. She did her very best and took them earlier than planned to help us make our flight. My Lab had also recently had surgery between the time I booked and dropped off which then required him to take medication and to be watched extra since he really doesn’t like the bandage and hates the cone. She was very responsive when I checked on them and sent pictures. Would absolutely use them again. Thank you again for taking good care of our fur babies.”
“Aaron and Tia will forever be my go to person for pet-sitting. I have a 4 month old French bulldog and he seems to be at home with them and I love how they communicate and send videos and pictures of my fur baby while I'm away. They definitely are educated about pets and what is needed, because they educated me about how to train my puppy. They are very welcoming and family/pet oriented.”
“Mady was so kind and caring. She treated our Cooper with such love. We received many pictures and updates. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to use her again. She is a top pick.”
“From the moment we connected, she was kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure my dog Beethoven felt comfortable and loved. She provided consistent updates, photos, and little notes that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog adored her — the calm energy, the patience, the playtime, and the snuggles. It was clear she treated him like her own. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a smooth, stress‑free experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. She’s truly exceptional.”
“Antavia was so great! Penny really had a good time and was well taken care of. I’m always nervous when I have to leave her but Antavia put my mind at ease. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Amelia is very kind and communicative. She was able to send me updates and photos throughout the duration of my dog’s stay with her. Highly recommended and would use her services again!”
“She loves dogs truly. She let our little dog to sleep on her bed first night to let him feel like home. She updated and sent photos twice a day. The little dog seems to make the furry friends and like his stay”
“Bianca was attentive and skilled with our beloved Ali who can be a handful with his rambunctiousness. We had a family function to attend in another city and unexpectedly needed a sitter. Bianca was quick and reliable upon request. In addition, Bianca kept us updated on Ali’s stay which he appeared not to miss us with all the love and affection doted on him during his stay. If I ever in the future need a sitter or even just a walker for any event, I would trust Bianca more than my family for the care Ali. I wholeheartedly recommend her fully for the care and wellbeing of your pet.”
“Crystal was wonderful. She really puts her all into babysitting our pups! My mini poodle loved her and had other pups to play with. She was very intentional from the start, we also had a FaceTime and in-person meet & greet. I would definitely use her as my go-to.”
“I can’t recommend Zulu enough! She took such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She was so attentive and sent updates, making sure my furry baby felt happy and comfortable the entire time. I’ll definitely reach out to her again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Bianca was fantastic!! From the get go she made Bailey feel welcome, comfortable and loved! She is a genuine pet lover! Bianca was accommodating to our asks re Baileys rules, super communicative kept us updated during his stay and we could tell he was happy. Bianca has a great space and set up for the doggies. I would totally recommend and would def book again. Thank you Bianca and Family!”
“Corey (and Antonio!) accepted our “last minute” request to board Cooper for the weekend. He sent daily updates & pictures and even adjusted the booking when we returned earlier than expected. I would definitely book Corey again!!”
“Shuling is simply wonderful! I had never boarded my 3-year-old mini poodle, Milo, before, and I loved that she met with us before I even confirmed the booking. She showed us where Milo would play and took the time to interact with him and get to know him beforehand, which made me feel so much more comfortable. During his stay, she sent pictures and responded promptly whenever I reached out. I could tell that she treated Milo like one of the family and that she genuinely loves dogs. Milo has never stayed with anyone else before, and now he never will! I’m so happy we found Shuling and would absolutely recommend her.”
“Sabrina was great with my dog. She provided regular photo and video updates that provided me extra comfort that he was in good hands while I traveled. Will definitely use her services again!”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dunkirk
Madalyn and her family went above and beyond for our little guy. They took exceptional care of our dog who has history of separation anxiety and used their knowledge and skills to make sure that our boy felt like safe and free of anxiety and boy, did it work! I am so overjoyed that I found an individual who I can rely on to make my pup feel safe and happy!
Stephanie and Robert are AMAZING !!! We were nervous to drop our doggie off because he is a pound dog with severe anxiety but they took care of him like he was their own!. We got pics and updates throughout his stay. We were afraid he may not want to come home . We will definitely be using them every-time we leave town .

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.
95% of sitters in Dunkirk 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 Dunkirk 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 Dunkirk.
<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 Dunkirk 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.
