“Great dog sitter and took wonderful care of my pups Moe and Bear. She worked so hard and even went above and beyond writing down the medication schedule for our pups!!! Thank you so much Johanna!!”
“Linda was great with our dog! She was very responsive and sent pictures. We could tell he had a blast with her dogs, as he napped the entire evening when we brought him home.”
“Maggie was in excellent hands with Jodi. I received daily updates and pics. Communication with Jodi was clear and immediate. She was also very friendly and personable. I would definitely utilize Jodi's services again in the future.”
“Denise did a great job with our puppers! They warmed up very quickly to Denise and her family. Everyone in the family were very affectionate with Ollie and Daisy, so I know that made them feel right at home. I had no concerns leaving our dogs there and would use her again in a heart beat!”
“Kimberly took exceptional care of our pups! Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for an attentive care taker for your fur babies while away. I will not hesitate to call Ms. Kimberly again to watch Greta and Bow again.”
“Amy is amazing. She is kind and flexible and has done amazing job caring for Kalooki. We don’t have to feel guilty about leaving her behind because she is always excited to visit and has a great time either Amy’s family and the other pets to have fun with. Amy sends great photos and videos along the way that give us insights into her daily activities and friendships. She always comes home from her “vacations” exhausted in a good way, which is the best outcome of vacations for her humans too. Highly recommend!”
About: I have over 10+ years of experience taking care of animals. When I was in highschool I had a love for all animals and was in a small animal science program where we learned to take care of small animals as well as learn to bathe and give hair cuts to dogs. Once I new this was something I enjoyed I worked at a kennel for a short time before starting to work at Petsmart in NY as a bather. While I was in community college I continued to work as a bather until I moved from home. When I would come home for breaks I would work at the Kennel at Petsmart working the overnight shift. During this whole time I was babysitting, dog/cat sitting and taking care of smaller critters like chinchillas, a turtle, a rabbit, and of course fish. I had used this app for a short time but in March 2020 I moved to Utah to work in the National Park Service. Since I was over an hour away from civilization I deactivated my account but continued to house sit for my co-workers and friends that had dogs and cats. I now work full time but I would love the extra cuddles on my off days. During my off days I am able to visit for a walk/ feeding/ or checkup any time of the day or spend the whole day with your pet if you would like. During my work days I can not visit from 8AM-5:30PM But I am willing to do overnight visits on my work days. I will send you texts and photos during my visits or walks. If that is something you do not want please let me know. I love to check in and let you know what is going on. I do not offer visits at my home
“This was our first time using Rover and Christine couldn't have eased our minds more about leaving our dogs with a stranger for a few days. She took our two dogs to the dog park near her house, let them play outside in her backyard and cuddled with them daily. I know because she sent us photos and videos each day of our trip. By the time we picked them up, Christine was no longer a stranger but their new best friend. Our girls loved spending time with her and I'm sure yours will too! Thank you Christine!”
“Jess and her entire family were amazing! We had a great experience boarding our cocker spaniel with them. They treated our puppy like one of their own. He had a great time with the kids. Jess was communicative and accommodating and we truly appreciated them taking care of Orion.”
“Our dog squid had a fantastic time with Rose and her dogs while we went away for a 4 day trip. Rose was very easy to work with and sent pictures and updates all throughout squids stay with her. We are super grateful and will absolutely be reaching out to her next time we need a reliable dog sitter.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and my family currently has four, so I’ve had lots of hands-on experience caring for them over the years. I’m a huge animal lover and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same care I give my family’s dogs. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and I’m happy to make time for pet care around my classes and other commitments. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the care and time they need. I will always treat your pet and home with care and respect. I’m comfortable following specific feeding, walking, crate, and daily routine instructions, and I’ll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention and can also send updates and photos so you know they’re safe and happy while you’re away.
“My family had a last minute crisis and Cathy came through for us. She boarded my 55 lb English Setter for 7 days, which is the technical name for it. In reality she loved my dog for 7 days. Sent me lots of pictures and made me feel completely at peace about leaving my dog with her. Cathy has a large German Shepard who got along fine with my baby girl (they were together in most of the pictures). I am a customer for life!!!!!”
“Brenda did a terrific job watching over and caring for our dogs. She asked good questions, showed genuine concern for their care and kept us in the loop. She has a great place for them to run around in a secured fenced-in yard and a spacious home for them to play. I really think you can’t go wrong with her.”

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.
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.
93% of sitters in Elliott 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 Elliott 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 Elliott.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elliott. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Elliott 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
