“Debra is amazing! My dog Winter felt right at home the moment she arrived. Debra has a very large backyard for dogs to roam around and play. Her home was very clean, inviting and accommodating. She took my dog for several walks throughout the day and sent several pictures and updates. Debra is someone I trust completely and will always count on her for the future. I highly recommend Debra.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Dipanjana and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about making my dog feel comfortable and happy. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciated her professionalism and kindness throughout the stay. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Anusha is by far the best! Enzo was so well taken care of. I cannot describe how happy I am with Anushas care, she was attentive, took him on walks, gave him treats, played with him and was always in close contact with me. She also sent loads of pictures and videos the entire time. She was so nurturing towards him I felt he was cared for by family. Your pup 🐶 is 1110% in great hands. I will recommend her to anyone anytime. I am sure Enzo is going to miss her and her wonderful family and home. Until next time. Thank you so very much 🫶”
“Jatin is truly amazing! He house trained Deemo so well and I am truly impressed! We dropped off a routy dog and picked up a house trained dog after four days of boarding. Thank you!”
“We had a great experience! Juan & his family were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and easy to work with throughout the entire stay. They sent us lots of pictures and updates, and our dog looked happy and comfortable the whole time. We’ll definitely book again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“I was lucky to find Michelle and Michael. My dog is young golden retriever with high energy. Michelle and Michael gave my dog plenty of cuddles and attention. They gave my dog long walk and played fetch with him. Michelle sent me updates frequently that helped relieve my separation anxiety. I couldn't be happier to have my dog stay with Michelle and Michael, who are really nice and caring people.”
“Brian and his son Kyle are absolutely wonderful sitters! They’ve taken such great care of our French bulldog, Charlie. She is always so happy to see them and comes home relaxed and well-loved. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s with people who treat her like family. Highly recommend!”
“I am so thankful to Michelle for taking care of Chase. I knew he might not eat his food because he gets anxious when we leave him. Michelle kept me up to date with his eating and took my suggestions to help my little guy. They took him on walks and sent me photos and videos. I am very happy with how they took care of Chase.”
“Wow, what a fantastic experience! Sharry is an incredible host and is everything you'd want in a dog host. She was a great communicator, sent tons of pics and videos, was very attentive to my dogs, brushed them, and they were so happy and tired when we picked them up!”
About: I have a life time of experience around cats, dogs and numerous other animals. My dad, a retired veterinarian and animal physical therapist, taught me everything there is to know about caring for animals. While placing safety first, I offer peace of mind for you and create tail-wagging fun for your pets. I can take your dog out on walks, hikes and runs, or keep them busy indoors. During drop-in visits I can also take care of light household chores. I'm available Friday to Monday for drop-in visits and dog walks, and 7 days a week for boarding. I'm a homemaker with a flexible schedule. I can board dogs 7 days a week and do twice to 3 times a day drop-in visits from Friday to Monday. I'm also available for dog walks, weekend hikes or 3-mile runs. I'm comfortable around cats, all size dogs and breeds, as well as other types of animals. I have experience administering oral medications and light grooming for both dogs and cats. Please let me know if your pet has special needs like arthritis, special diets, blindness, deafness, anxiety, etc.
“Sabrina, was a great dog sitter for my dog. She knew the right things to do making my dog happy during her walks and taking care of her with extra care during her stay in her home.”
“Jennifer is just great. Professional, conscientious, responsive and best of all, my dog was happy and waggy and completely non-stressed when I picked him up. Highly recommend Jennifer!”

“Mateo and his family took such good care of my Daisy for almost a week in their lovely, quiet home in the hills. I got a picture or a video (or both!) every day, with a little reassuring note that was much appreciated!”
“This was the first time I had ever brought my two pups to someone outside of our family so I was a little nervous! Yajaira was very sweet and calm and helped to alleviate my worries. Our Pomeranian, Duckie, is super easy going so I wasn't too worried about her but our Chihuahua, Fig, can require a little more understanding at times. When I picked them up they were happy and calm and Fig even seemed like she wanted to follow Yajaira back into the house :) We will definitely be seeing Yajaira again!”
“I would definitely book again with Aadya! She was great and my anxious dog came back very happy from her house. I have a senior dog who requires medication and loves being an only child. I love how she only boards one dog at a time.”
“He took good care of Snoopie during his stay. He even picked him up because his apartment has stairs which my dog was getting scared from. There was some issues but it got resolved and Snoopie was happy with him. Would prefer him next time.”
“Our dogs love being over at Pissamas’ house. We are very comfortable having her take care of them for daytime, overnight and extended visits. We highly recommend her to others with small dogs.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellicott
Pearl came home tired and happy. She greeted me at the door, was happy to see me, and then was delighted to go back in the house while I grabbed her stuff. She isn’t always like that so I know she felt comfortable. Plus she got walks on the beach, which is her favorite thing to do.

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 Ellicott 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 Ellicott.
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 Ellicott 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 CA 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.
