“Brenda did a fantastic job watching our Shiba Inu while we were away on a long 2 week vacation! He was happy and healthy upon our return and she was also able to flawlessly give him the vital medication he needs everyday. Brenda also communicated promptly throughout the sitting whenever we checked in. Thank you for taking care of our dog so thoughtfully!”

“Todd is wonderful for boarding our dogs. Although Pepper, the male dog, is scared of everything due to his trauma of being a street dog in Oman, Pepper became comfortable with Todd in less than 10 minutes. Todd took our dogs for a walk to the park next to his house almost every day and our dogs were having a good time walking in the forest. Our dogs love to go out in the backyard. Todd's fenced backyard gave a nice playground for our dogs. Thank you, Todd !!”

“Chash took wonderful care of Tori! She was so communicative, sent great updates, and was incredibly patient and understanding even when Tori had an accident. Tori especially adored her daughter and became her little shadow the entire time. Tori had the best time—when I went to pick her up, she didn't even want to leave to go home! I had complete peace of mind while away. We will definitely rebook in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Carolina was absolutely fantastic with my pup! I received numerous updates throughout and could see he was having such a fantastic time. Will definitely use again in the future!!”

It was so great having Daisy stay with Sriju for a few days while I was away for work. Sriju made me feel comfortable leaving Daisy, a new rescue, with her. I received updates and got great feedback on Daisy. I recommend Sriju and would certainly use her again for my pet sitting needs.
Yuan is very kind and warm. Her house is big and welcoming. She has a nice backyard too. She's very conscientious of dogs and their needs and emotions. She knew Chewie is elderly so she checked if he could climb stairs. She's very kind and clearly cares about her guests
This was our second time using Nathalie and she was just as wonderful as the first. She communicates very well and sent photos every day, which made us feel so much more at ease while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for, and we already know we’ll use her again. Highly recommend!
My baby has separation anxiety. But not once did i hear from jared that he was crying only because he kept simba close to him always. I am more than happy with the way he was taken care of.He came back to me calm and happy.they did such an amazing job in taking care of simba.
Tatyana is fantastic! Our pup was a bit nervous at first, but she was able to quickly calm him down. It’s clear that she is very experienced with dogs. She sent lots of pictures and it was great to see how he was doing throughout the stay. We will definitely book her again!! So grateful to have found her!
I left my 13 year old cat Reggie with Mitchelle for the first time for an entire week. She took such great care of him and kept me updated every day!!! She is a very caring person and I trusted her completely ! I would leave him in her care again. I highly recommend her.
Dianne was amazing! Kaia felt right at home at her place and seems to have gotten along really well with Kona. Dianne was very thoughtful about acclimating Kaia to her home and then creating a safe way to introduce Kaia and Kona. She took great care of Kaia while I was gone, proactively sent updates and photos. I wouldn't hesitate to re-book.
I had an emergency and Elliot was able to accommodate my GSD Astro last minute. Elliot’s experience in training gave me the peace of mind that Astro would be in good hands. He sent pictures, was responsive, and friendly! Astro was super happy when I picked him up so I will be booking again if needed in the future! :)
Aurora loves hanging out with Camilo and his wife! It’s like the best vacation, with multiple walks and enrichment activities everyday and someone with her at the house all day. Camilo is always my first call when I need to travel, because I know Aurora will be taken care of just as well as (or maybe even better than) if she were with me!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
