“Theresa was a great sitter for Nik. She sent daily updates, not overwhelming, just enough to let us know Nik was happy and enjoying himself. I will definitely be using her services again. I know my pup is in good hands. Thanks Theresa!”
“Danielle has done a wonderful job of caring for my dog, Hazel. She was very flexible with my schedule changing last minute, and that made things much easier for me. And the most important part - my very anxious dog came back to me happy and relaxed, not at all stressed from her time away. I'd definitely recommend Danielle and will book with her again.”
“Amazing from the meet and greet and throughout the entire weekend stay. Michelle was very very communicative of what was going on with my pup. Would totally book again!”
“Becca was great! Levi loved her and had such a fun time with her and her family, and she sent updates and photos every day, which I appreciated. We’ll definitely use Becca again in the future!”
“Kellyn took great care of our dog! We appreciated the periodic updates. I can tell that she went above and beyond in making sure Mariner was safe and comfortable. We look forward to booking again!”
“I was very nervous about using Rover as this was my first time leaving Onyx with people she wasn’t familiar with but my sweet pup Onyx was very well taken care of! We received photos and updates from the moment she was dropped off! I can tell that although she missed us, she felt safe. I loved that she was allowed to sleep in the bed and lay on the couch which are things she loves to do at home. We will definitely be booking Meagan for boarding in the future!”
“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”
“Jessica was awesome. She took great care of my baby Paris. She kept in contact with this nervous dog mom and made me feel at ease. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Veronica was fantastic with Oreo. He stayed at her house for two days while I attended a job meeting. She took excellent care of him, ensuring he was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. She kept me updated with photos and messages. I felt reassured knowing Oreo was in such good and caring hands.”
“Our dog Winston absolutely LOVEs staying with Sarah! This is the second time we hired Sarah to watch our dog and she was fantastic. Great communication and fast responses. Will hire again!!”
“Shruti is a wonderful pet sitter, she did send me pictures daily of Pennie to let me know she is doing fine. Pennie was very comfortable at their home, she was laid next to her dog Hazel relaxing. I am truly using Shruti again for all my pet sitting needs. Shruti is a nice, kind and pleasant young lady.”
“Joyce was awesome with my super anxious girl! I was away for a week and Joyce sent me pictures and updates on how she was doing. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Thank you, Joyce, for your incredible patience with my girl. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Karla is super responsive and took the best care of our dog, Ruthie. Ruthie can be pretty particular in her older age, and she was so comfortable with Karla. Loved the detailed updates and many photos! Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.”
“My wife and I have come to truly appreciate and respect Jeffrey and Liz’s true care, love and commitment to pet care. Recently, we needed to modify our original plan, which they did with joy. Not to mention my pup truly loves it in their home. They seem to have a full house of other pups, which is good my dog to be around, but speaks volumes, again, of Liz and Jeffrey’s love for all of ours family dog. Thank you, Jeffrey and Liz. God bless you! Sincerely, Mowgli Parents”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our pup in Carla's home! Our dog was so well cared for, and Carla sent daily updates with pictures and videos. Her dog was incredibly sweet and got along great with ours. She did a great job balancing exercise with being mindful of our older dog's past surgeries and individual needs. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“Sarah was so awesome with my senior pup on a recent stay. She was very responsive and flexible, asked all the right questions, and sent regular updates during the stay. Finding someone to partner with for your furry family can feel hit or miss sometimes. I’m so glad I was able to connect with Sarah and won’t think twice about reaching out to her again!!”
“Kaylie is so kind and caring! Our pup had back surgery about six months ago. She still has issues and Kaylie took such wonderful care of her during our time away. I am so happy to know her and will definitely leave my girl with her again!”
“Trishelle was great with my pet. She took him on short notice, when my sitter had an emergency and could not board him. I had a paid vacation already planned. Trishelle agreed to take him in on short notice. I received many pictures and messages on my week away. I have a senior, shy and very temperamental dog. The pictures put me @ ease. When I picked him up, he was well cared for. I can tell Trishelle truly cares for pets. I definitely would recommend her especially for boarding your pets for long periods.”
“Molly was great with my Kash,This was his first time with her and she was amazing with him caring playful and loving. Will definitely use her again.Thanks again Molly .”
“Shaun did an amazing job with my dog Goofy. He sent updates and pics which put me at ease leaving goofy for a week long! Shaun is very pleasant and trustworthy and I will be using him for future trips and needs!”

Super sweet and caring for my dog. I appreciate how she made my dog feel welcomed and loved. Treats, cuddles, lots of play time.

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 Fort Howard 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 Fort Howard.
<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 Fort Howard 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.
