“Ece was a dream dog-sitter for Bruno. She was a fast and great communicator from booking to boarding. We got regular updates from Ece about how Bruno was doing, with lots of pictures and details about the number and length of walks, his behavior, and temperament. I especially appreciated how Ece clearly cared about Bruno's well-being and her thoughtful questions about his habits, likes, and medications. For example, when she noticed was Bruno was a little more itchy than normal she told me right away and we were able to get him a medicated spray that Ece applied to help. I will definitely book with Ece again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Guilford
Aparna got our typically slow-to-warm pup to come out of his shell really quickly. She made sure Woodford got plenty of exercise and had activities to do in her home. I know all of this because of how well she communicated and how many pictures and videos we received. Will definitely ask for her again if she’s available!
This was my puppy's first time ever away from home, and Lisa made both of us feel better about it! She was very kind and understanding, and my pup looked like he was having a blast in videos while I was away. I will be coming back to Lisa again for future trips, she was wonderful!
Fabiola and her husband were wonderful! They welcomed Jack into their home and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. Because Jack experiences some anxiety when he is away from home, he typically loses about 4 pounds during a four- to five-day stay. This time, he did not lose any weight, which I attribute entirely to their exceptional care and hospitality. Fabiola will always be my first choice for any future trips. She and her husband are the best!
Esterline is the best!! She watched our pup during our wedding week and we never worried at all. She shared a ton of updates and photos (with hilarious captions) and was always responsive. She also was so flexible with our dog when she wouldn’t go outside in the rain. Esterline also took her for a walk with another dog, which was a good opportunity for our dog to socialize in a limited context (which is exactly what our dog can handle!). I am so happy we have connected with Esterline and would recommend her business to anyone!
As always, Ashley is incredible with our girls and they always seem very relaxed and not stressed when we pick them up, their medical needs are always met, we get updates and never feel stressed about them being well taken care of. 5/5 every time! Thank you for watching and loving our gals so well
Shannon was amazing! Would recommend her 10 times out of 10. Our pup absolutely loved staying with her and clearly felt so at home and relaxed in Shannon’s care (not the norm for our pup who can be anxious in new settings!). Shannon was so great at keeping us up to date with photos and updates on how things were going. We will definitely be having our dog stay with her again soon!
Chelsea did a PHENOMENAL job taking care of our Lany this weekend at Chelsea’s home. She’s punctual, very communicative, and treated Lany as if she was her own. She was thorough and asked all the right questions during the meet and greet, and we appreciated the frequent updates and pictures throughout the weekend. Lany looked like she was right at home when we picked her up! We whole-heartedly recommend Chelsea for your dog care needs.
Nicole was wonderful! We needed someone last minute to watch our 4 month old puppy for the day and overnight, and Nicole responded fast and answered all my questions. She sent updates with photos that let me know my pup was having a great time. Highly recommend her for all your puppy needs!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Guilford 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 Guilford 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 Guilford.
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 Guilford. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Guilford 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.
