“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”
“Thor was happy when we picked him up, so I know that India went above and beyond in taking care of him. If ever we are in need of a dog sitter, we'll without hesitation give India a call. Thank you India.”
“Karen was a gracious and attentive caregiver for our Westie for an eleven-day stay. Karen is obviously very experienced with dogs, and we would happily entrust her with our Katie in the future and heartily recommend her to others.”
“I’m an anxious mama for my English Bulldog puppies and they were great! Sent lots of pics and videos and gave frequent updates. Dolley left happy and healthy!”
“Rae cared for Kenzo with so much love and attention while I was away on my business trip. I’m deeply grateful for the peace of mind she gave me, knowing he was safe and happy for all four nights!”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zulma. From the moment I walked into her house she made me feel completely at ease about leaving my dogs in her care. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”
“Alexis did a great job with Rio! She sent us lots of updates and notified us promptly of issues that appeared. Rio clearly loved her and she was prepared for the unexpected, such as having a back-up collar on hand for when Rio chewed his up.”
“As always Melanie, Greg and their kids did a fantastic job taking care of our pups. They always come home happy and exhausted. They will continue to be our go-to Rover sitters!”
“As always, Rut and her husband took excellent care of Memphis. They are kind, reliable, and truly attentive, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care. We had complete peace of mind knowing Memphis was in such loving and capable hands. We are so thankful for them and highly recommend their care to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust.”
“Gwen was amazing!!!! This was my first time leaving my little fur baby with someone she didn’t know and Gwen made me feel so comfortable while I was away for work. She even accommodated me when my flight was delayed and the drop off time changed last minute. She really went above and beyond and I couldn’t be more grateful. She sent me photos and kept me updated on everything. I would highly recommend if you want 5 star care for your pup Gwen is the way to go! I would definitely let her watch Chloe again. Not having to stress while I was away from my puppy was amazing bc I knew she was in great hands.”
“Jodee, AJ and Maverick took care of our Daphne as if she was there own. She had a blast playing with Maverick and touring their neighborhood!!! Thank you for making Daphne feel at home❤️”

“Danyelle was fantastic! Treated my dog as her own, really responsive during the stay and sent photo updates. My pup is currently in a cone to prevent licking and she was great at following some specific needs. Absolutely would recommend and we’ll be back :)”
“Janel was the perfect dog sitter for Athena, I am so grateful she was able to accept her on such a short notice during this holiday season. Would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“Jeison did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Pax. He was dependable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure Pax was comfortable, safe, and well looked after. I really appreciated the communication and peace of mind while I was away. Pax was happy and well cared for, and I would absolutely trust Jeison to watch him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Jenna was great, very sweet and attentive to Zuri and her needs. She provided lots of photos to keep me updated on how she was doing. I would book with Jenna again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Heights
Serena and Jake were amazing! It was our first time leaving our dogs with someone at their house. We usually have a sitter come to ours so we were a little bit nervous. Our dogs are not friendly with other dogs and have their little quirks, but they did a great job working around that. Our dogs came back to us, looking very happy and warmed up quickly to both of them. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.
Melissa was simply an exceptional Dog Sitter! She took care of our three big dogs in such a sweet personal way as if they were her own children! Ours are big dogs and they are super good natured, but they can be a handful and Melissa did not skip a beat with them and offered up her whole house as their own. They loved her and she even took care of one of them who ended up needing special attention because of a hotspot he had developed. Melissa was on it, caring for him and making sure it did not get worse before we arrived. We absolutely give her the highest recommendation possible! Thank you, Melissa!
We had a wonderful experience with Rasida! She was reliable, responsible, and incredibly caring throughout the entire time she watched our dog. She was very communicative, flexible, and willing to accommodate our needs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and treated her with the same love and attention she would give her own. We truly appreciated how dependable and easy to work with Rasida was. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy,and caring dog sitter. We’d happily have her watch our dog again!
Cindy was great. She is kind and provided great communication during our dog taz’s stay. She sent daily pictures and updates. When picking up Taz he seemed like he was comfortable and did not want to leave. I would highly recommend Cindy. I plan to use her again in the future.
Max is our go-to sitter. He takes such good care of our dog and always sends photo updates throughout the stay. We feel great about the care our pup always gets when we send her to stay with Max and highly recommend his care to anyone on the fence about who to go to with their own pet needs.
Elizabeth was great to work with, sent me daily pictures and updates of Zoe and was flexible when I needed to change the pick up time. She and Kim clearly cared for Zoe and asked for updates on how she was doing after I had picked her up. I will definitely book future stays for Zoe with them!
We travel from North Carolina pretty often… and when we decide to go north Corola has been our go to! Her and her husband are really nice and pleasant people and our frenchie seems to love them! Corola keeps us updated on how he’s doing and sends us pictures often! That and the fact that they live on base gives us an extra sense of security knowing that our dog is safe and ok! We highly recommend Corola to anyone seeking dog care!
Once again, we couldn’t be happier with Abigail as a sitter. Boba made the best playmate to keep Fiona company and Abigail always goes out of her way to go above and beyond. Reading her updates was routinely one of the best parts of our day while we were away. Thank you Abigail and Boba!
Christopher always does a great job caring for our high-needs dog. He gives her lots of one-on-one attention and is very responsive to her needs. He regularly communicates with photos and honest updates about how she is doing, which we really appreciate! Will gladly book Christopher 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 Forest Heights 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 Forest Heights.
<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 Forest 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 , 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.
