“What an amazing experience with Jenn and family. They were so loving and caring to Patton and treated him like one of their own. They sent photos and updates and communicated with me every day.”
“Theo came home happy and healthy! Megan and Jacob sent daily updates with pics. Theo was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for the entire stay. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. It truly felt like a home away from home. I will absolutely be bringing my dog back and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their pet!””

“Jasmin and her mom were great. My dog was well cared for and happy when I picked him up. They were able to make Toby feel comfortable in their home- and he played well with their dog. Lovely people- highly recommend.”
“I had an excellent experience with Pat and Bee. They truly cared for my dog as if it were their own, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the daily photo updates and how quickly they responded to any questions I had about my dog’s day. Their large backyard was a huge plus—my dog had plenty of space to play, explore, and have fun. It’s clear they provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment for pets. I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

“We are very pleased with the care Pamela provides for our dog! She really takes great care to make our dog feel comfortable. She has a great fenced yard where our dog can run around and explore. Pamela also keeps us posted on our dog’s activities with daily pictures! We wholeheartedly recommend Pamela!”
“We have not met Brianna but her husband Isaiah was very nice. They were very accommodating with pick up of our dog when our flight got delayed. They sent us few pictures of tanner being walked, he looked happy!”
“Tammy is the absolute best! She boarded my dog at her house while I was on vacation and made the whole experience stress free. She sent daily updates and was so incredibly sweet. Sandy was very happy when i picked her up!”
“Thomas was fantastic. We got updates and photos of our babies everyday. He was super responsive. Our babies played, had fun, and were happy. We definitely will be booking again.”

“Tarina. This woman is the bomb!!!!!!!!! Me and my wife knew she was great with dogs, and you can see this in her. I recommend "TARINA" to everyone who wants or needs a "DOG SITTER" because she knows her stuff. We had great conversations about the dogs that helped her and us. Tarina is very knowledgeable about dogs 🐕. It would be very hard for us to get someone else for our dogs! She took care of thunder &Thor . Thank you Tarina very much and we are coming back if we need a Sitter.”
“Allison D was a great care giver for our Cricket. She played with, cuddled and entertained her and told us Cricket was well behaved and welcome to return if we needed care provided again in the future.”
“I am again very pleased with the care Shiloh gets during her stay with Melanie (and her family). Photos and communication is great and allows me to enjoy my time away. If I need a sitter for puppy camp again I will definitely be rebooking with Melanie”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were so fortunate to have found Sarah. From our initial contact it was clear - she was all about dogs. Our Trevor was a rescue who is still very anxious. He hasn’t been boarded in 4 years, so we were very apprehensive about the experience. But Sarah put us and Trevor at ease. He fit right into their family. He stayed 12 days and every report was positive. Thank you Sarah and family! We will definitely use your services again. Sorry for all of the white hair that your house is likely covered in now. Theresa, Rodger & Trevor”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Emmorton
We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Cookie and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated, sent us pictures, and Cookie looked so happy and comfortable with her. 🥹❤️ It was clear that she treated Cookie like her own. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave her, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾
We are very happy with the care Zoey was given. Megan and Jacob are very pleasant and professional. The environment for our dog, Zoey, was clean and perfect. Zoey is older and gets panicky, but the pictures that were sent to us showing her status told us that she was happy and calm. We highly recommend this sitter and would absolutely use them again.

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 Emmorton 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 Emmorton.
<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 Emmorton 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.
