“Rodney truly loves animals. He put me at ease, answering all my questions quickly. My dogs have never been boarded, one is 13 and the other 3. We initially did a meet and greet and I knew they would be in amazing hands. We did an overnight and they never looked back when he walked them into the house. Lol Put my mind at ease. Definitely sending them to Rodney and Marissa again. 😊”
“Carla was great and accommodating as I booked last minute for an overnight stay for Oreo. Great communication and she sent lots of photos and videos of Oreo during his stay. Carla will be my go-to dog sitter!”
“Ariel was awesome! She was very welcoming and friendly. She kept me updated with pics and took phenomenal care of Polo. This was his first time being left with a stranger so I was nervous but I can tell he loved Ariel. He will definitely be a frequent flyer with Ariel.”
“I was a little apprehensive about my move because we were leaving our regular sister who we loved. However, this recent stay with Keyona has eased all anxiety and I’m so glad we found her. She was extremely detailed in care, sent lots of videos and pics and checked in with you on how they were doing. Mine is a bit finicky with food in new environments sometimes (she’d rather go play than eat lol). Keyona kept me up to date on how she ate and even offered her fresh food toppers that helped her eat more. My baby is a level 5 clinger and from the updates it looks like she got lots of love and cuddles. She’s back home now, happy and exhausted after a weekend of fun! We can’t wait to utilize her services again.”
“Ruth and her lovely family were amazing and took great care of my anxious pup while we were away. I loved seeing all the wonderful photos she took! Her children seemed like great playmates for my dog and she was so nice and understanding about my dog’s anxiety/loud barking.”
“Brianna was so amazing. It’s hard to find a baby sitter that I trust to watch my baby. I have a small yorkie and not everyone feels comfortable with watching her but Brianna was ready for the task and went above and beyond with taking care of her. I felt like I had a peace of mind knowing that she was in good hands. When it was time to pick her up she was so happy to see me but wasn’t ready to go home because she enjoyed her time so much.”
“Brittanie and Ryan took wonderful care of our dog and gave her lots of love. Great communication and pictures. We would strongly recommend them to any dog owners.”
“I was a little nervous leaving my puppy behind so soon after getting her but Shandell was super sweet and made me feel comfortable and more importantly my Baby feeling comfortable with her. She sent me tons of pictures and videos reassuring me that she is safe and happy. She even gave me a harness to use when walking her since I can’t never find one in her size. She will be rebooked with Shandell within a few days. Would highly recommend ?”
“Nikki seemed very knowledgeable sweetheart how to take care of our dog's anxiousness and energy from the get go. It helped a lot that she had a fully fenced yard and no pets of her own when we booked her. From meet and greet to pick up, she made it easy for everyone. We specially appreciated her updates and our dog truly enjoyed staying at her place. We also appreciated the tips and other feedback she gave us, as we are first time pet owners and our dog has some unique needs. Definitely will use her services again.”
“Kellyn took great care of our dog! We appreciated the periodic updates. I can tell that she went above and beyond in making sure Mariner was safe and comfortable. We look forward to booking again!”
“Helen and her crew were so wonderful! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog, who can be a bit of a handful, and made him feel right at home. Our dog was so excited to go back after our meet and greet, and seemed a bit disappointed to leave at the end of his stay. Her dogs were also super sweet and welcomed Berry just as much as Helen did. She was super communicative and I really appreciated the updates and pics. I will definitely try to book with Helen again!”
“Will and Adriele were fabulous! Very accommodating to my drop off and pick, took my dog for a walk and shared many pictures. They were fabulous and will definitely be using them again! Thank you!”
“Shannon kept us updated every day with how our girl was doing. It really put us at ease to know she was being cared for with such consideration.”
“Melissa was great! She was flexible with my drop off and pickup times and was always in touch. Luna had a great stay! Melissa also sent me pictures too, which helped a lot! Would definitely use her again!”
“Makhayla has been caring for my pup, Boots, since he was a puppy and now I’ve adopted his sister and she cares for her too. She is reliable and always keeps me informed and sends pictures often to let me see how my little fur babies are doing.”
“Theresa and Lyv were the absolute best watching our baby Misa for the week. Theresa sent so many pictures and updates throughout the week and I could tell Misa was having such a great time with them. She loved curling in bed with Lyv and being the diva that she is! It was really good to be able to relax while away knowing she was in good hands. Last minute, Misa had a skin flare up the weekend before we dropped her off and Theresa was able to medicate her and keep a watchful eye so she was all better by the time we picked her up. Can’t say enough good things about Theresa, will 100% use her again when we need a sitter!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garrison
This is the first time we left our dog with anyone other than family to go on vacation. We met Mila ahead of time. As soon as we met her we got a good vibe and could tell our Boo would be in good hands. She is the kind of person who loves animals and connects with them. While away, she sent pictures and told us how he was doing, which we appreciated. Our dog can be very nervous and anxious but when we picked him up he was very relaxed and calm. We will definitely use Mila again and feel like he will have a good vacation too!
Phyo was absolutely wonderful as a pet sitter! I felt completely comfortable knowing my Anderson was in such caring and capable hands. Phyo was attentive, responsible, communicative, and clearly treated Anderson like his own. I appreciated the updates (especially the photos!) and the peace of mind knowing everything was being taken care of while I was away. I highly recommend Phyo to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring pet sitter. I would absolutely book with him again!
We recently had our dog board with Dimitri for about 5 days. This was our first time with Dimitri and we were very happy. We felt confident that he could manage our dog, who is on the larger side (60 lbs), very strong, and prey driven. He was very responsive to my texts and sent me lots of pictures. He even gave our dog a bath, when he found a tick on another dog in his care. We would definitely board with him again!
We are extremely grateful for how Jillian, Bobby, and their daughter took care of our dog. They sent us lots of pictures and gave us consistent updates on how he was doing. It really gave us the peace of mind we needed in order to enjoy our time away from home. We look forward to Sherlock, staying with them again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Garrison 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 Garrison.
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 Garrison 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.
