“Poh was lovely! I was going out of town last minute and therefore needed a last minute booking and Poh was available with fast response times as well. She has great rates and took amazing care of my dog, she even offers grooming and cut my pups nails over the weekend! She sent daily photos/videos of my pup with others, and took great care of him. Her dogs are also adorable and well behaved. Very kind and professional boarder, we will definitely rebook in the future whenever he requires a home away from home!”
“It was a pleasure having Lingli care for my fur baby while I was away. She was always very responsive and sent a lot of pics during my pup's stay. I will definitely be booking again.”
“Carrie was awesome! It was our first time using Rover and Carrie and her family made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog there for the weekend. Her dog was also a great buddy for ours to hang out with. I would highly recommend her.”
“She is the best and most caring dog watcher there is! The videos she sends about your pet the whole time you are away are so great! You should definitely choose her to care for your pet!”
“Cal & Kelly T did an excellent job taking care of my dog Jenna! Jenna is a timid small dog; she is a rescue who is nervous in new situations. They calmed her apprehensions and made her feel at home. They gave her belly rubs and petted her all the time. I particularly liked the many photos and videos they provided. When I picked her up she was happy and healthy. I will use them again and am recommending their services to others.”
“Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!”
“Kristy had watched Maya during the day a few times prior to staying with her for a couple days. As always, she was very communicative and easy to schedule with. She was very accommodating for the pick up as I had to have someone else pick her up. Highly recommend as always.”
“My two French bulldogs made themselves right at home with Piero and his family. They treated my doggos with great care and attention. It was also a huge plus that someone was always home with my girls. Piero was great with sending pictures and keeping me updated. It was super easy and I will be using him again to watch my dogs. 100 percent recommend - a wonderful sitter!”
“Great with our golden retriever! Stephanie took her on walks and continued to send me pictures of their adventures! If you’re considering her to watch your little one, l highly recommend!”
“Erin was fantastic! My dog is only 5 pounds and can easily slip out of the front door when someone is at the door. Erin was VERY consciences of my concerns and I was very comfortable with her visit even though this was our first time boarding with Erin. You are in good hands with Erin!”
“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“I felt at ease the whole time I was away from my dog, I received photos and videos daily, which really made me feel comfortable with being away for so long. When I returned home my dog was calm and was clearly well taken care of.”
“Karla did an awesome job boarding our 2 cats for the weekend. She was responsive and provided frequent updates and we could tell our cats were getting lots of love and attention from the photos she provided. Highly recommend for boarding!”
“Ivan and his family are a dream! They took such great care of Maxy while we were gone. Great communication and complete flexibility with drop off and pick up. You can tell that Ivan and his family truly love animals. My dog has issues with being left alone, and it was so nice at Ivan’s as his family all works from home and help to take care of your pet. In this case, it worked out so well as Maxy was never left alone once. They have a nice fenced in area and a dog door for easy in/out access. We loved their dog Sunny too, who was so mild mannered and a great companion for Max. Thank you so much! We can’t wait for the next time ;)”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
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.
94% of sitters in Glenelg 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 Glenelg 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 Glenelg.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glenelg. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Glenelg 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.
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.
