“Amber is amazing! Very attentive and her professional and personal (has pets too) advice and care makes such a difference. So flexible! I needed her last minute and my dog Chadley felt so loved and cared for! I will be hiring her again and again. Chadley adored the time spent!”
“McKayla and Christian are wonderful sitters. They sent lots of pics and kept me up to speed with everything my pup was doing. I most certainly would rebook with them. Thank you for treating my fur baby as if he was your own ❤️”
“Anabella was incredibly accommodating and very helpful. She was perfect with our dog Sadie and handled a last minute medication addition, right before our trip, without a hitch.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to every pet, like they’re part of my own family. I have experience with both high-energy dogs and senior pets, so I know how to adapt to different needs—from playful fetch sessions to gentle walks and medication support. I’m also reliable, flexible with scheduling, and great at communicating with pet parents, always sending updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine or just giving extra love and comfort, I go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule around both my part-time job and pet-sitting responsibilities to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I stay organized and flexible so I can give consistent and loving care, even on busy days. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on time, get plenty of play and exercise, and always have clean water. I also take time to bond with them so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. If I’m doing drop-ins or overnight stays, I also keep the space tidy and send updates with pictures to keep pet parents in the loop. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe environment where they can relax and have fun. I stick to their feeding and potty schedules, offer plenty of attention, and make sure they’re never left alone for too long.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
98% of sitters in Friendsville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Friendsville 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 Friendsville.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Friendsville. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Friendsville 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
