“Mindy has been very accommodating and reliable with our 2 golden retrievers. Previous planned dog sitter cancelled 12 hours before, Mindy onboarded them in no time and they felt home right away. I do recommend her wo. Any doubts”
“Sophia was wonderful. This was the first time leaving our dogs with a Rover sitter, and the first time having them watched in someone else's house. So I was really nervous but Sophia was super communicative, sent photos every day and always responded immediately to my messages. 10/10 wonderful experience. We are using her again in March and looking forward to it.”
“Excellent care of my dog giving me updates almost every few hours going above and beyond. Definitely recommend her to anyone because she takes personal care of dog like her own. Thank you for you cheering love toward my dog!”
“Ivan took great care of our dog Lily. She stayed with him for 12 days and came home happy and healthy. We will definitely choose Ivan for any future boarding needs.”
“Evvery was everything we could ask for in a sitter and more. She took care of our dog as if it was her own and went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable with her. She sent pictures and videos to let us know he was doing well and was very understanding and interested in his needs individually. We are so appreciative and will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Kathy was the best! Rumi felt relaxed and comfortable all weekend, and Kathy provided lovely video updates. It was so nice to have such a peace of mind knowing Rumi was safe and in great hands!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Emma! Tracey kept us in the loop with hilarious daily updates 😂. They were so welcoming and did everything possible to accommodate Emma’s needs. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was great! I went on a 8 day trip and she made sure to give me daily updates about my dog and how he was doing and even gave him a toy he was always playing with. She was very accommodating and understanding when my flight got delayed and Chase had to stay an extra night. Chase loves going over there and will definitely be back soon! Thank you so much 😊”
“Raghavi and her family were great. From the start, they made sure to get to know Archie and understand his needs, and Archie was very comfortable with the family as well as their dog, Simba. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care your pet like their own, I highly recommend Raghavi!”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our Goldendoodle, Jasper. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs, and that showed in every part of Jasper’s stay. She and her family treated Jasper with so much love, care, and attention that he truly felt like part of their family. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Jasper was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he looked so relaxed and happy. it honestly seemed like he wanted to stay there with them. That says everything about the kind of care Melissa provides. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our boy, Jasper.”
“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!”

“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“I do not know what Katherina could possibly do to make me a happier pet mom. She saved me at the very last minute; she gave the dogs (and cat) exceptional attention; and she is just so dang nice! The most telling thing to me about my dogs is when they are simultaneously happy to have me home, and show signs of not having missed me. Thank you Katherina!”

Kathy is the best! She took great care of Kofi for the longest we had ever left him and treated him like her own 🐶💙. Her daily video updates were great and allowed my husband and me to be at ease on our vacation knowing he was in great hands. Kofi bonded with her well! Her warm hearted and easy going energy was exactly what he needed. Thank you, Kathy! 💙
Rosie has been going to Sophia for several years. She is a rescue and we could never leave her if Sophia was not available. She is professional, reliable, flexible and cares deeply about your dog. She has a large backyard and walks the dog during the day. She’s the best!
Shannon did a fantastic job taking care of Charlotte. She took many pictures showing how well she was doing. She even noted she wasn’t eating her food initially but added some chicken broth to get her back on track. Charlotte was clearly shoot and her usual self when we picked her up for a long stay. We highly recommend Shannon because she really cares for your pet. We expect to use Shannon as our go to pet sitter.
Todd took great care of both dogs for the week. He shared plenty of pictures of them on walks and inspecting his fenced yard. Particularly appreciated him overseeing the dogs eating since we were working on one not grazing the other’s food. Todd was quick to respond to my questions. Pups were healthy and happy when picked up; wonderful time together.
Brandon was fantastic with Bailey this weekend. He was dependable, communicative, and took great care of her throughout the stay. Bailey was happy and well cared for when we returned, which gave us complete peace of mind. We would gladly book with Brandon again and highly recommend him!

Gail and Kris are truly amazing. I'm so glad I found them. I had a wedding to attend in Europe and was so worried that I didn't have someone to care for my 15lb sweet little Schnauzer, Addie, for such a long stay (11 days!) My worry is that I wouldn't find someone I could trust that would never leave her alone. Yes, I never leave her alone. I've tried but have filmed her with cameras and she does a deep soulful howl that breaks my heart. Addie makes me laugh so much, she is so, so funny and I love this little one! I have truly anthropomorphized her and so I came to the realization that I would need help. Gail and Kris have taken care of her as if she was their own. I started leaving Addie with them for short stays to make certain all was well for both the caregivers and Addie. Addie loves them! They are so conscientious about feeding her exactly as I have instructed them to. They play and cuddle with her and give her lovely walks. They constantly lookout for her wellbeing and communicate to me with short videos and gorgeous photography every little thing Addie does...her eating, running, walking, sleeping, playing...it brings such joy to both me and my husband so see the tender care Addie is receiving. I trust Gail and Kris. They are just THE BEST!
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!

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.
94% of sitters in Germantown 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 Germantown 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 Germantown.
<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 Germantown 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.
