“Danielle has done a wonderful job of caring for my dog, Hazel. She was very flexible with my schedule changing last minute, and that made things much easier for me. And the most important part - my very anxious dog came back to me happy and relaxed, not at all stressed from her time away. I'd definitely recommend Danielle and will book with her again.”
“Best dog boarding experience ever! Happy dog, happy pet parents! How can you beat a family of 4 totally focused on your pet. Our 10 yr old was thrilled to find there were 2 boys to keep our Daisy cuddled and loved. Jill and Chad are great - pic updates, great communication. We WILL be using them whenever we travel. This was like leaving our dog with best friends. Thank you so very much. Your family is so appreciated!”
“Cecil was amazing he took great care of my dog. Plus my dog got to socialize with other dogs. Which can be difficult because he's a pittie. I'd highly recommend him if you need dog boarding”
“We first went to Melissa's for a meet and greet. Later I brought my dogs back to her house for a 4 night stay. They were pulling me towards her gate happy to be there. They liked the fenced yard, being able to explore freely. Melissa sent us a picture and short update everyday. I picked up very happy pups on Monday. Highly recommend Melissa.”
“Our dog loved staying with Rich, took to him immediately and showed no anxiety of being left. He is a Covid dog and very attached us. Rich sent photos. His fenced yard is great for our dog, we will be return customers.”
“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!”
“Whitney took great care of our boy Hokie! He got along great with their dog Alfred who is a sweet gentle dog. I received pictures and updates while we were gone. We will definitely use her again.”
“Marwa and Casey took great care of my boy! He was nervous at first being at a new place, and they helped him find his comfort spot on the back of the sofa, provided extra goodies into his meals to encourage eating, and provided excellent communication with me all along the way.”
“I firstly would like to say Thank Leydis. I am very pleased with the great care you took in caring for my daughter Johnell. I felt that Johnell was in safe and loving hands and I was right. Thank you for treating Johnell as if she was your own, your love for animals was evident in how you cared for Johnell. I 100% recommend Leydis to watch and care for your fur babies as she did for my girl. I will be using her services again and again. Thank you”
“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!”
“Gary and his wife Karen took wonderful care of my dog, Finn, while I was away at the beach for a few days. They were great with communication, sending updates and making me feel at ease knowing Finn was in good hands. It’s clear they truly know and love dogs, and they have a welcoming home where Finn was well cared for. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I’ll be booking with Gary again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“First time booking Reynaldo and will definitely book again. He kept me updated on my dog status by sending pics that was entertaining 😂😊. I can tell he was comfortable like at home!”
“Our pup Coal had a short stay with Robert and felt comfy in no time. Even tho this visit was only a few hours, Robert sent us a pic of Coal settling in. He is willing to adapt to each dog and has a nice area for them to feel at home. Will be reaching out for future boarding. Thanks!”
“They were very accomodating. Due to a flight delay on my end. They were willing to spend some extra hours with my dog until I could have someone pick them up. They also send pictures to show updates.”
“My lhasa apso is very attached to us and shows high anxiety when a family member is not around, even to the point of vomiting when my daughter went away on a trip in June. I was very nervous about leaving him during our family vacation, but Sarah and her family went above and beyond to make sure that Oliver was comfortable. He received lots of belly rubs and attention, went on nice walks and trips to the dog park, and became BFF's with Jack, their beagle. Sarah sent numerous pictures at least twice a day, and my favorites were of Oliver and Jack snuggling together. Seeing this pictures greatly helped my own anxiety at being so far away from my fur baby. Sarah also gave updates. Her family just really seemed to understand dogs. She was not upset when Oliver had "marked a piece of furniture" but was totally cool about it; similarly, when I warned her that Oliver is prone to throwing up when away from his family, her response was, "we have hardwood floors so it's easy to clean up." Oliver had a wonderful experience with Sarah, Jack, and the rest of the family, and I recommend her for anyone and especially those with anxious pups.”

Chris and Kelly were great when our pup was having some bad allergy rides and kept us updated. There dog Gigi was a good friend to Gunner. I felt Chris and Kelly were both super responsive to messages and calls during our time away. We would absolutely use them again!

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 Gunpowder 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 Gunpowder.
<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 Gunpowder 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.
