“Amy is an angle. She was so down to earth and I felt at ease leaning my boy with her. She kept me updated throughout the entire day with pictures and videos. She took my baby on an adventure with lots of trips and care rides which he loves. I told her what he likes and didn’t and she made sure to do all the things he loves. In every picture and video she sent I saw how happy my baby boy was. Definitely booking with her again! Thank you so much he had so much fun and you showed him so much love. 😊😊”

“Jess and her entire family were amazing! We had a great experience boarding our cocker spaniel with them. They treated our puppy like one of their own. He had a great time with the kids. Jess was communicative and accommodating and we truly appreciated them taking care of Orion.”
“My dog stayed with Jill for a few days over the 4th of July weekend. Jill could not have made it any easier or my dog more comfortable. She has a fenced back yard to allow the dogs to play! My dog hardly noticed when I left. Jill sends timely photos and is always quick to respond to messages. We've already booked our dog's second stay with Jill. Couldn't recommend her enough.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and my family currently has four, so I’ve had lots of hands-on experience caring for them over the years. I’m a huge animal lover and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection.

“We can’t say enough good things about the care, attention, and FUN our doodle was treated to during his recent stay with William and Natalie! We appreciated William and Natalie’s sincere interest in our suggested best practices for Dewey’s care!! Daily photos found our boy liv’in his best life… leisurely sniff’in around during his walks, running like the wind fetching balls and…happily snuggled on the couch with paws flung over the legs of new best buds! Honestly, a pup’s stay at William and Natalie’s is like a visit to Disney for kids!”
“Brenda and her family are great sitters. Beauty always loves her stay at their house. She loves the yard. And, she loves all the personal care. I would never hesitate to have Beauty stay with Brenda and her family.”
“Chloe took great care of our dog, Zelda, who had an injured knee and had to take it easy. Chloe sent us a midday update (pup cup, stuffie & some liesure time outside - Z seemed happy as a clam) and was very responsive. We'd definitely trust Chloe to watch our girl again!”
About: I have over 10+ years of experience taking care of animals. When I was in highschool I had a love for all animals and was in a small animal science program where we learned to take care of small animals as well as learn to bathe and give hair cuts to dogs. Once I new this was something I enjoyed I worked at a kennel for a short time before starting to work at Petsmart in NY as a bather. While I was in community college I continued to work as a bather until I moved from home. When I would come home for breaks I would work at the Kennel at Petsmart working the overnight shift. During this whole time I was babysitting, dog/cat sitting and taking care of smaller critters like chinchillas, a turtle, a rabbit, and of course fish. I had used this app for a short time but in March 2020 I moved to Utah to work in the National Park Service. Since I was over an hour away from civilization I deactivated my account but continued to house sit for my co-workers and friends that had dogs and cats. I now work full time but I would love the extra cuddles on my off days. During my off days I am able to visit for a walk/ feeding/ or checkup any time of the day or spend the whole day with your pet if you would like. During my work days I can not visit from 8AM-5:30PM But I am willing to do overnight visits on my work days. I will send you texts and photos during my visits or walks. If that is something you do not want please let me know. I love to check in and let you know what is going on. I do not offer visits at my home
About: experience, I’ve cared for everything from energetic Labradors and playful Border Collies to senior pups and anxious rescues. I’m experienced with daily walks, positive reinforcement training, medication administration, and creating calm routines for dogs of all ages and breeds. Every day starts with a calm morning walk, fresh breakfast, and playtime to kick off zoomies. Midday brings another energetic walk or backyard fun, plus training and cuddles. Evening includes dinner, a relaxing final walk, brushies, and wind-down time so your dog stays happy, safe, and right on routine. Your dog’s safety and your peace of mind come first. I use secure leashes, supervise constantly, follow your exact routines, and keep emergency contacts ready. You’ll receive real-time photo updates and detailed reports so you can trust your pup is happy, protected, and well cared for every single day.

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.
97% of sitters in Galestown 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 Galestown 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 Galestown.
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 Galestown 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.

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.
