“Awesome awesomeness, taco had an awesome time. For him to be a very high energy dog Nicole and her family made sure he enjoyed himself to the point that all that husky puppy energy was spent. Already planning to schedule another boarding with her”
“Fatty had the absolute best time staying with her family. He was showered with affection, got tons of cuddles, and even got treated to pup cups. He loved them so much and we are so happy he has an open invitation to return anytime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like family!”
“Aida was a wonderful sitter and my dog had a great time with her! He enjoyed time spent in her large yard, many walks, and an overall comfortable stay. She shared frequent updates and pictures, and was happy to adapt to my dog’s routine and quirks. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy my trip, knowing my dog was in fabulous care.”
“Adelaide had a wonderful time and so enjoyed her stay with Reynaldo who was great with sending pictures and updates during my trip. I will definitely use him again. :)”
“Danielle took great care of my dog while I was away! Sadie was happy and well cared for when I picked her up. Danielle was responsive and sent me regular updates so I knew Sadie was happy and safe. I highly recommend Danielle!!”
“Jess is simply amazing with my elderly and very high maintenance Havanese. He has serious separation anxiety but I never worry about him when I drop him off. She’s very attentive and patient and will go out of her way to make him comfortable. She’s really the only one I trust with my baby 🥰”
“Fantastic!! Shannon watched my one year old very anxious puppy, Luna. I was very nervous Luna wouldn’t settle, but Shannon took the time to allow Luna to open up to her. Within 30 minutes of dropping Luna off I had picture updates and text updates! She continued with many pictures and messages to keep me in the loop of how Lunas day was going. Shannon was so sweet and kind, relieving any nerves I had. She was able to work with my nervous pup and keep her happy! I was so grateful for Shannon’s patience and expert care. She also administered eye drops to my pup who has some eye problems. I felt completely at easy knowing Shannon was diligently watching over my pup. I plan to use Shannon again and again anytime I’m out of time!”
“Shruti did an awesome job taking care of our dog Nala while away on our honeymoon. She updated us and let us know how Nala was doing every day. Since we head back home pretty late, she did us the favor of dropping off Nala right at home before we arrived. It made such a big difference in our travel experience. I really appreciated her adaptability and flexibility. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Alexis took great care of our pup and she was very happy during her stay' We appreciated the picture updates during our trip. We would definitely book with Alexis again”
“Meagan, Chris, and pups, Butter, and Lucy took great care of Ozzie. Ozzie does not always warm up to strangers immediately but felt at home with them burrowing under their blankets and sleeping in their pup beds. They provided daily report of Ozzie antics and photos keeping me posted. Meagan really loved Ozzie and animals in general, and adjust to them easily. It was evident Ozzie enjoyed his staycation. We will definitely board Ozzie at their place in the future.”
“Anna & Christian were great with Nahla. They are very kind and friendly people. Anna & Christian seem to really enjoy being around dogs. They send updates as necessary and share pictures/videos. I know Nahla is in good hands. I can tell she enjoys her time with them because she is dead tired as soon as we arrive home. Our experience with Anna & Christian is always positive. Nahla always seems excited whenever I drop her off. They are excellent sitters and I would definitely recommend to anyone who is in need. Thank you.”
“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.”
“Marina is wonderful with our Hazel. Our dog takes time to warm up to new people and Marina is so warm and natural with her, it is never a worry. Highly recommend! Thanks Marina!!”
“Emily & Patrick are wonderful pet people! They took great care of Karson while we were away and sent us updates as promised. Karson loved hanging with his new friend Biscuit (Emily & Patrick's dog) too! Highly recommend them!”
“I highly recommend Theresa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. She kept me updated on my baby boy Gio throughout his stay, and it was clear that she genuinely loves what she does. Gio had an amazing time with her, going on plenty of adventures and getting all the attention he needed. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I am beyond grateful for the care she provided. Thank you, Theresa. I will be back :) GIO LOVES YOU ❤️”
“Our Bellatrix's first time with Crissy and she had a wonderful time. Crissy was great keeping in touch and sending pics. Thank you Crissy. Bellatrix will see you and Dublin again soon ☺️”
“Excellent service! The sitter would send me videos every morning showing that he was walking my dog. My dog is also had some issues with his ears so he helped administer medication to him & brushed his teeth daily. very kind, personable & energetic sitter. Don’t hesitate to book him!”
“Shanikki was amazing! She made me so comfortable with leaving my hyperactive puppy. If she is willing to have us, we will definitely return!! Thank you for being so reassuring!”
“Took great care of my older dog. And my older dog has issues with food and people but regardless of those issues she still took great care of her and gave good updates.”
“Ariel was great with Milo and kept me updated since I’m nervous with leaving my fur baby for long periods of time. But she assured me Milo was ok and sent me cute pictures. Milo and I will definitely use her again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Guilford
Sophia is absolutely amazing! I loved all of the pictures and updates that we received about Charlie while we were away! He was truly loved and snuggled while we were on vacation! Sophia has amazing communication- I highly highly recommend her to care for your pet while you’re away!
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!
Savannah was wonderful with my two fur babies, highly recommend booking with her! She replies in a timely manner, and was very accommodating with a schedule change we had to make. She provided updates and photos and my girls looked very happy and comfortable with her.
Mari was an exceptional caretaker for Woodson. She went above and beyond to accomodate some anxiety induced retention, taking him on six/seven walks a day until he did his biz. Updates with photos to help reduce my separation anxiety, and so conveniently located for Amtrak travel. Highly Reccomend!

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 Guilford home-away-from-home, 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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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.
