“We were traveling and planned a last minute stop in DC and Mount Vernon. Cameron was able to watch our Luna for 2 nights while we got to enjoy the city and not worry about Luna and the heat. Plus, Luna had other 4 legged friends to hang with. Would definitely recommend and thank you for taking great care of Luna.”
“Tammey was outstanding with my pup. It was a 2 week period and she communicated often to let me know how everything was going. My Bella had a great time and I felt assured she was safe and well cared for. I would highly recommend Tammey and won’t hesitate to use her services in the future.”
“Brian and Carly are the BEST of the BEST! They are kind, competent, and genuine dog lovers. This trip was the longest I have been away from my beagle and I felt like she was with trusted friends. I didn’t have a single concern that she was getting anything but top notch care and love. Great communication and multiple daily photos! Brian and Carly worked through a last minute schedule change with me, and I am grateful for their flexibility. I absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for top quality care for their dog!”

“Helen watched our 7 month old puppy and provided excellent care for her. She walked her and took her to a dog park. Even when our pup got a little anxious, Helen graciously cared for her and kept us informed. Helen made us feel comfortable with our first Rover experience and Millie's first night away from us. Thank you Helen!”

“Jennifer is an exceptional catsitter. My cat is very fearful when in an unfamiliar environment, but Jennifer put time, patience, and consistent effort into making him feel relaxed, and he became so comfortable, that he'd brush up against her, allow her to pet him, and sit next to her. Not everyone has a way animals, but Jennifer definitely does. I highly recommend her services.”

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.

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.
