“Rodney and Marissa loved on and took care of my big baby. They are very patient and first class when it came to handling Eros, who is a handful! I highly recommend them and will continue to work with them in the future.”
“This latest stay with Mila was the longest that Woodford has had with anyone, and we were admittedly nervous because of some separation issues he has. He was happy and excited to see us but was unexpectedly calm. Mila has developed a close bond with him, which puts both him and us at ease when we’re out of town. We’ll continue to use her as our preferred sitter going forward! :)”
“Kimberly is the best, she took such great care of my Neco. She cared for him for 6 days through the Thanksgiving Holiday. She sent me great pictures and videos of him daily. She is a true dog lover. I will definitely be booking her again to care for my dog.”
“Carla was very flexible to a last minute cancelation we had from another Rover boarder. She was not only highly communicative with pictures but also was so accommodating to special requests. We will be using her in the future.”
“Keyona was great with my 6 year old Shih Tzu. My mind was at ease with knowing he was in good hands, considering he’s never been with anyone other than a family member. She sent pictures and videos each day, which was a plus. I would definitely book with her again.”
“They were so great we felt in peace our baby was with them. Very loving, patient, organized and great communication. I appreciated the many many pictures and videos and them being on point with Pachas routine and doing extras for training . We highly recommend them!😊”
“Felice was great! She gave me updates every day and sent lots of pictures. Layla had a great time and I always felt confident that she was being well taken care of.”
“Ruth and her family went above and beyond taking care of my dog and keeping me updated along the way. It truly made for a stress free experience that I couldn’t imagine could have gone any better. Thankful to have such a good host in the area.”
“I’m so grateful that I found Kassandra to board my dog, Benji! The consistent updates and photos provided throughout, gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Kassandra and her adorable son will love your dog like their own to make the absence easier on your pup. Oh, and benji got spoiled with that amazing fenced in yard! 10/10 recommend.”
“This was my second time using Kaye and her services and flexibility was beyond anything that I could ask for. We will definitely be using Kaye’s services again in the future.”
“Cheryl was amazing! We constantly received pictures and videos of our fur baby and never had to wonder how he was doing. She was also very accommodating of us when we were late to pickup due to our flight being late. Highly recommend!”
“Brittanie & Ryan sent us lots of pictures of Lottie while we were away. Lottie seemed to have a very good time with both their dogs and their daughter. We think she went to summer camp! We also appreciated that they were flexible when our flight changes impacted our original pick-up and drop-off times.”
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!
Keyona was able to accommodate my dog for a last-minute three-day trip, and I truly appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was. She provided excellent customer service and sent me daily pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind and made his first stay with Keyona relaxing and stress-free. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again! Thank you again!
Mariah is the perfect sitter for my Bentley…I was gone on a cruise for 8 days and Bentley was in Mariah’s care for 10 days and she is outstanding!!! Bentley even received while in her care as well. Highly recommended, Greatly appreciated. Will definitely request her again for a 4th time.
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.
We had a wonderful experience with Ayanna and her family! She was incredibly attentive and treated our boy with so much love and care—like he was part of her own family. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does. We’ll absolutely be back and highly recommend her services!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
