“Jackalyn is a very nice lady who had been patient and attentive to Ozzie and took great care of him. She was also very considerate to send me pics and update me with Ozzie’s situation of his eating, sleeping, and playing stuff. I would be highly likely to resort to her help next time when I am to be out of town. :)”
“Diego took great care of my two dogs and sent regular updates and photos which I appreciated. He did well developing trust with my dog who is very timid around humans. Definitely recommend!”
“Last minute we need a sitter and Adiyah came through in the clutch. Moses and Mercy both came back home happy. We received daily photos and updates of how they were doing which was reassuring. We will be back!”
“First time leaving my dog with anyone other than her breeder. Tommy put me at ease with the questions he asked prior to our booking. He was careful to try to determine whether my dog should socialize with the big or small dogs, what behaviors were allowed (up on furniture, etc). Throughout the stay he provided updates and photos. It was clear that my dog was well cared for and having fun. Drop-off and pick-up were smooth and easy. I will use Tommy again in the future!”
“Payton and Graham were fantastic with our dog, Indy. They have a backyard he loved playing in, but even more impressive they were able to get his halter on (he's extremely headshy) and take him on actual walks. Videos they sent showed Indy snuggling with Payton in a way he has only done with us before. Communication was excellent, and Indy clearly loved being there. Not only would we book again with Payton and Graham, I'm doing so right now!”
“Thank you to Nicole for taking such good care of Shadow. She was very consistent in her updates and let me know how much fun he was having in the backyard. Shadow definitely appreciate the open space to run around and be a happy puppy! Would highly recommend Nicole’s services!!!”
“Stephanie and Luis did an amazing job dog sitting! Communication was great from start to finish, and they kept me updated with pictures, which really put my mind at ease. They were so welcoming and even created a special space in their home for Coco and Chloe. I’d definitely trust them and rebook again!”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”
“Joe was very accommodating and took excellent care of Benji. He kept me updated and made the entire experience worry free. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Lia’s communication is always on point! Charlie and I recently moved to DC and looking for a new sitter. Lia was honestly the best sitter for Charlie! She went above and beyond for Charlie even accommodated to his spoiled picky eating behavior 😂. Honestly I want to gate keep Lia but I think everyone deserves to have a sitter like her.”
“My dog stayed with Valeria for 3 nights, we had no issues. I felt comfortable with his stay, never felt worried or concerned, and was able to enjoy our weekend away. She took excellant care of him.”
“Mark and his family were great with Khaleesi! I could tell from the pictures he sent she was well love by the entire family! I highly recommend Mark that likes attention and likes to cuddle and will definitely use his services again.”
“Abigal was very kind with Chiquita, responsive and very communicative with pictures and daily updates on how she was doing. She accommodated a late arrival and a last minute change in pickup, and her care for my pup was visible. Great sitter and would gladly book again!”
“Jayla took great care of our girl Ruby while we were out of town for the holiday break. She kept us informed and provided picture upgrades of our girl along the way. Definitely will rebook with her again when we’re in need.”
“Murphy spent 2+ weeks with Jeff while we were out of the country. Jeff provided regular updates and took excellent care of him while we were away. Murphy had so much fun playing with the other dogs too - it was a great experience all around.”
“Tamara accepted my booking on relatively short notice and she provided daily updates and photos, which is always appreciated. I could tell my dog was comfortable and in caring hands. I highly recommend Tamara!”
“Another great overnight stay with June! Banks gets the absolute best care while staying with June and we’ll be back soon. He’s her little buddy now :)”

Terrance was such a delight. He took care of Zula for a whole week and everything went so smoothly. Great communication. From the booking, to dropping off, and having communication throughout the stay, all the way to the end for pickup. He is definitely a 10/10!
Karla was absolutely wonderful with Playboi! They were professional, reliable, and treated my dog like their own. I really appreciated the daily photo updates and detailed notes on their walks and playtime. Playboi seemed so happy and relaxed when I returned home, which gave me immense peace of mind while I was away. For those who have a gentle giant in their home, I highly recommend Karla and will definitely be using their services again!" Contact this sitter
Angela caring for my dog was a great experience! She is the fourth dog sitter I have used in the past five years. This is the calmest and happiest my nervous Dane has been coming back from a sitter. Sometimes my dog is reluctant to go for walks with others, but she went with Angela on the first day. Angela's place seemed quiet and well set up to host dogs. Communication was clear and timely. The profile description was accurate. She seemed comfortable, flexible, and not rushed when figuring out my dog's needs. Angela has my highest recommendation and will be my first option going forward.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Fairmount Heights sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Fairmount Heights landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fairmount Heights 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 Fairmount Heights.
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 Fairmount Heights 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.
