“Cameron was great with our dog! She was able to accommodate us with short notice and attend to the special needs of our pup. Our dog had lots of play and attention. We would definitely recommend!”
“McKinely had a great time with Tammey! She was very flexible and coordinated pick-ups/drop-offs with our friends. Since we were traveling internationally sent photos and updates via email throughout his stay. We will use Tammey in the future and highly recommend!”
“I had never used Rover before and couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Brian! I received updates and photos throughout the weekend, making me feel confident that I had left Bernie in good hands. When I picked him up at the end of my trip, I got a happy, tired dog. I would absolutely use Brian again next time I have to leave town!”
“Spenser loved staying with Danny, Damaris, and Thor! They are such kind and caring people, and their own dog Thor is absolute sweetheart. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in a loving home. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dog-loving sitter!”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“Rae is a kind and attentive person, and she made Oliver feel safe and comfortable during his entire stay. This was his first boarding experience not with family, and he had a good time. Will re-book!”
“Jenny was great with keeping me informed about how the dog was doing during my vacation. I was able to relax knowing that my dog was in good hands during the trip!”
“If you love your dog, you want this family to pet board/sit while you’re away. Phenomenal to work with. They love animals and it shows with the care they take. I am very particular about what sort of people are allowed to watch my dog (commutative, social, can follow the walking scheduling etc) and they passed with flying colors.”
“I would not hesitate to use E and A as dog sitters for your pooch. My dog got tons of love and affection! He enjoyed the backyard explorations as well as lazy time indoors. Their two dogs are people and dog friendly. Our dog was best buds. We got updates about our gig as well as photos. We have booked again!”
“Chelsea provided a home away from home. We were very worried about leaving our new puppy with anyone so soon. We soon realized we made a great decision in selecting Chelsea to care for our puppy. He had caring people around him full-time and she sent photos every day. It was comforting to know he was being well cared for.”
“Very reliable. Melonie did outstanding in caring for Fitz. She made sure i see pictures daily. She became a 2nd Mom to Fitz; no adjustment needed when we dropped him off and he was happy and content when we picked him up. He’s normally anxious in change of environment but he really felt a home with Melonie and her household. No issues at all in our previous and current visits.”
“Aaron & Tia took great care of my Frenchie Bella. She had an initial knee injury that required crate rest and very limited activity and their willingness to accommodate our needs at the last minute for an extended (18 day) stay was beyond amazing. After the meet and greet with Aaron and their amazing soon I felt even more at ease. Prior to her stay, Bella was stung in the eye and was required eye drops in addition to the knee injury. Aaron wasn't phased by the additional special needs. While on travel in Asia, I received almost daily pics and a video. I could tell she was having a great time. She also needed to lose a few pounds to help with her knee injury and Aaron and Tia returned Bella in tip top shape and a few pounds lighter. She is off of her pain meds for her knee and her eye is healed. I can't thank them enough. When I met with them they only had a few reviews and I wasn't deterred. This is proof that the # of reviews does not determine the type of love and care your pup receives. I will be using their services again and again very soon.”
“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”
“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“I LOVED Julia. More importantly, my dog did. It was really comforting to come home and find that he was sad to leave her home. She was so kind and patient with my sometimes anxious pup”
“Alana is AMAZING!!! She had my guy Buddy for a full week. I was so nervous leaving him that long however I received text updates, pictures and videos daily. She has a great space so my guy felt at home and was even able to get socialized with her beautiful baby Bella. Highly recommend booking with Alana. If you’re looking for a caring, attentive, and safe sitter, she is it! Thanks again Alana and Bella ??”
“Anna is amazing!! She was so good with our pretty anxious pup and sent us a lot of pictures throughout the weekend — we were always at ease knowing that Ellie was comfortable and having a great time. Anna’s two dogs are also so sweet, and we loved that Ellie had companions all weekend. If you live in DC, definitely worth driving out to Anna’s place for your pup to escape the city for a bit and hang out with this wonderful sitter!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Washington
Erin was fantastic watching our terrier, Wally. It was his first time boarding with Rover and he can be anxious, so it was really wonderful how patient and encouraging Erin was. She took excellent care of Wally, even sending a photo and update during the overnight visit. We had a great experience and highly recommend Erin.
Randi’s communication throughout the booking/boarding/pickup process was prompt and professional. During the pet boarding period, Randi provided daily updates and photos to reassure us our pup was doing well and thriving during his stay. I highly recommend Randi and will definitely be booking again!
I had an amazing experience with Maya!!! She was incredible kind, reliable and attentive throughout the time my sky was with her. I really appreciated how quick she responded whenever I checked in, a the updates gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my sky was cared for and loved. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!!!
Hanna and Fabio are Peanut Butter’s favorites and took excellent care of him. We received timely updates and felt very comfortable leaving our pup in their care. Fabio really went above and beyond and worked with our schedule to accommodate pick up and drop offs and we really appreciate their flexibility. Thanks for everything!

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.
94% of Fort Washington 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 Fort Washington 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 Fort Washington 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 Fort Washington.
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 Fort Washington 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.
