“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and it’s so clear how much she cares for them. She made my own dog feel right at home! I really appreciated all her communication and her flexibility on my pick up time. Will 100% book again. Thank you Jennifer!”
“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”
“We had a good experience with Nina - she and her boyfriend watched our 2 Australian Shepherd for a few hours. They were easy to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. We’d be happy to use them again!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every animal in my care. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to provide personalized care based on their needs. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. I can assist with basic puppy routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and helping reinforce simple training habits. For senior pets, I provide gentle care, medication reminders if needed, and a calm environment to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also focus on keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they always feel connected and reassured while away from their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel cared for and comfortable. I make time throughout the day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m organized and dependable, so I’m able to stay consistent with each pet’s routine and any special instructions provided by owners. I also make sure pets get plenty of love, patience, and companionship, whether that’s active playtime for energetic pets or calm, gentle care for senior animals. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I always make it a priority in my schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any specific house rules. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by keeping their normal routine consistent and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and supervision while I’m there. If caring for pets in my own home (if applicable), I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where they can relax, play, and feel secure. I always prioritize safety by monitoring them closely, providing fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and lots of interaction so they don’t feel lonely or anxious. In both settings, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they are well cared for, happy, and comfortable at all times. Communication with the owner is also important to me, so I provide updates to give peace of mind while they are away.
“Max was really nice and good with my dogs, one of my dogs is really nervous around strangers and she was comfortable around him, my dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we picked them up.”
About: I've been dog/house sitting since I was 9 years old. I watched all the dogs in the neighborhood and was trusted for weekend care at that young age. I was taught to ensure your fur baby and house should look as they did when you left. My current dog was house and command trained solely by my daughter and I. I am an early riser, who takes early morning walks between 6 and 7 am, to get a good start on the days many activities. We are very active and are always on the go. No worries, the pups come too! In the event they aren't able, we schedule an hour long walk or play time beforehand ensure your pup is all played out. The pups are left free to roam with supervision here and taken our for potty breaks no more than 4 hours apart. Random treats and belly rubs are given as well as plenty of outdoor play. We are driving distance to many dog parks and/or open fields where we love to play fetch and just run out all of our energy.
“Joanna is a very kind hearted sitter. Drake fell in love with her the first time he meet her. Remi is a cool dude who has confidence and is very friendly. I have zero worries whne Drake is in her care.”
“We had an amazing experience! Fabulous communication, a wonderful setting for dogs to play, and one successfully exhausted pup. Thank you so much for welcoming Poppy into your community.”
“Jessica took amazing care of Luna. She was communicative during her stay, sending me photos and letting me know how she was doing. This was very reassuring when using a new pet sitter. Luna also took a liking to her and we look forward to booking again with her.”

I keep dogs happy but also safe. I normally share photos of your dog regularly to make sure you know your dog’s doing well through Rover app.
About: I have tons of experience not only as a pet owner but as a veterinary assistant, I am pretty efficient in dealing with even the most troubling pups and even have training experience to curve some of the most common but unacceptable behaviors. Pet care is almost therapeutic for me and I’ll treat your baby just like my own , I come with tons of advice from healthcare , toys and training.

“Sasha was welcomed and enjoyed every moment with his Melissa and two fur babies. I highly recommend Melissa. She was understanding of my hectic schedule. Truly appreciated. Make me comfortable and reassuring with effective communication and pictures!! Amazing job! She want to come back already.”
About: Available to walk or do check ins! I am lifetime pet lover, current dog owner! My family had cats all of my life, and I used to pet sit for my neighbors growing up. I always wanted a dog of my own, so in 2015, I adopted a sweet and affectionate, hound mix named Murphy. Murphy is my partner in crime and has been such a joy in my life; I love spending time with him and taking care of him! I work during the day on weekdays but my hours are pretty flexible and I am fully remote. In terms of dog walking, I am a very active person so as long as they are able, we can go on hikes, runs, and long walks! I am fullly remote - work from home so my availability is very flexible. Weekdays - I can do mornings or after 3pm. Saturday - all day Sunday - 1-5pm I offer walking and check ins - I will treat you home with respect and happily take care of your dog while you are away.
“This was the first time leaving my senior pup with Valbona. He's a little skidding after some nigh life changes, but she was so caring and took amazing care of Kent.”
About: I’m a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’ll always follow your specific care instructions while giving your pet plenty of attention and affection. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your needs. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet’s normal routine is followed as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any special care requirements you provide. I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and provide a clean and comfortable environment. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
“My dog, Freddie, stayed with Joe for an afternoon while we were out in Beaufort. Joe has a great location, super convenient to downtown and a great backyard for the pups to play in. Joe made things super easy and his dog, Watson, kept Freddie busy and entertained for the afternoon. Would highly recommend Joe and Watson and hope to have Freddie stay again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my dedication to my service dog, Luna Bell (Leonberger) and my rescued kitten, Jojo Mojo (orange short hair). Managing Luna's complex medical needs, including medication, herbal remedies, and a specialized diet while creating a harmonious living situation with Jojo, has refined my skills in detailed care, dietary management, and fostering positive pet interactions. Their mutual snuggle cuddles are a testament to the peaceful, happy environment I nurture. My experience in continuous training and creating a multi-pet household where animals bond seamlessly makes me uniquely suited to care for dogs that are well-trained and cat-friendly. This blend of personalized care, attentiveness to pet dynamics, and a welcoming home for pets with diverse needs truly sets me apart. Pet care is normally round the clock at my household, I work from home and am able to check on my pets whenever I want to and it would be no different with your furbaby. They will get love throughout the day with treats twice a day. I have a fenced yard with security cameras as well as indoor cameras, and a kitten, your dog will have plenty of fun and space while at my house.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Heights
I'm so glad that Boba got to stay with Allie, Austin, and Oakley because we are already familiar with each other from me and Boba taking care of Oakley. They know Boba well and took such good care of him. Allie shared cute pictures and updates throughout the day, which I appreciated greatly!
Skyler loves spending time with Barbara and she takes wonderful care of Skyler. She enjoys running in the back yard and spending time with ZsaZsa. I'm very happy to have found her and I'm very happy with the service she provides. I will recommend her service to others.
Abigail and her super sweet and well behaved pup, Boba, were so welcoming and warm with Willar, my senior chiweenie. Abigail was attentive, asked thoughtful questions, and did a great job with the instructions for Willar's special diet. Abigail catered to Willar's needs which is very comforting for a pet parent of an older dog. I'm very grateful!🙏

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Forest Heights commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
