“Just picked up my pups from staying with Alex for the weekend. They had a great weekend playing with Reese. Alex sent us pics of them and they were so relaxed and happy. They look forward to staying again!!!”
“Ended up needing a last minute sitter and Liz & Jeff were able to accommodate. Had great communication leading up to a meet and greet with our girl and their resident pups, and a few days later dropped off Goose for her stay. Super responsive, gave great updates and photos and videos galore for my girl. Knowledge with dogs overall and their interactions with people and animals was great! Their family and resident dogs were exactly what I’d want for someone watching my own while I’m away. Will definitely become a return client😊”
“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!”
“Great sitter! Funny guy, kept me updated with Ace throughout his stay & you could tell Ace really enjoyed his time there. Soon as i got him in the car, he started whimpering like he missed him already 😂 definitely glad i found someone he was comfortable with. Would definitely book again!”
“Brandon was absolutely wonderful! He is a very nice gentleman, reliable and very responsive. He gave me updates and sent awesome photos. It gave me such a piece of mind while on vacation. He took care of my 4 year old yellow Lab Harley like his own. I know, because when I picked him up, he looked happy and calm, smiling and waggling his tail. He was just very happy to see me and very happy where i left him. No signs of anxiety being left in somebody else’s house with a total stranger. I know he had a great time away from home. Another wonderful thing is that Brandon lives in a nice neighborhood and has an awesome big fenced backyard. Perfect for accommodations. I highly recommend Brandon and i am looking forward to booking him again 😊 Thank you so much Brandon!”
“Mygan was absolutely wonderful and tool such great care of Fluff! She’s a proactive communicator and was very thoughtful about sending photos, checking in, and making sure Fluff was comfortable and cared for. Would absolutely recommend her and would trust her with my pup any time!”
“Im always nervous to drop off Adonis with anyone because he is very unpredictable meaning nervous. But Lia was great to him. Leaving for my daughter nationals so many miles away and she was great! Definitely will book again.”
“Taylor took great care of Coco while we went on vacation. She sent pics throughout Coco’s stay and Coco seemed to be right at home. Thank you Taylor for caring for our pup! We will definitely use Taylor again.”
“Esther and Yi did a fantastic job of boarding Leo for me while I was out of country. I could tell from the photos and videos they shared that he was having a blast. I highly recommend them if you need someone to care for your dog while you are away.”
“I am sooooo happy that I found Ashley! She's amazing with Gracie and I am fully at ease while traveling knowing that she is being well taken care of. She keeps me updated daily and I so appreciate that she does it without me having to ask. Ashley is now my go-to sitter!!”
“We had to go out of town last minute and Jingru gracefully accepted our request to watch the dogs. We received multiple updates throughout their stay and they came home tired and happy. Highly recommend!”
“Maryfe was amazing! She was responsive, kind, and incredibly understanding, especially when my flight was canceled and I needed to extend Henry’s stay by an extra day. She treated Henry like family and gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and the love she showed Henry.”
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Halethorpe
Lauren did amazing with watching my golden retriever. I’ve never booked through Rover before so was a bit nervous beforehand but had a great experience. Lauren shared many photos and videos throughout my dogs stay keeping me up to date, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely rebook with her and highly recommend.
Once again my precious fur baby spent an extended time with Ginnie and Steve and the whole gang while I was away and he was loved, and cared for and had a bunch of fun. I know I can trust them to look after him and make him comfortable, even if he wants some quiet time under the bed. LOL Knowing he is safe and having fun, allows me to enjoy my holiday too. Thank you for all you do.
Liz and Jeffrey were AMAZING! I cannot say enough wonderful things about them and the way they took care of our fur baby! He was treated like a prince: treats, car rides, time for zoomies, play dates with other dogs and sleeping on the sofa. I was worried he would not want to come home with us after the 3.5 days he was with them. We received videos, pictures and updates every single day. I trusted them and felt like I could relax on my vacation and not worry about the dog. They were so kind and hospitable to our family for drop off and pick up as well. They are wonderful humans who take magnificent care of canines!
We know our dog will always be in good hands here!! We love the updates we get everyday with pics/videos. Robin and her family are so organized and give every dog exceptional love and care :) I highly recommend to go with their services if you want a trustworthy and caring family to take care of your dog!
Nina was such a blessing to find as I was looking for last minute care for my pup! She welcomed Sweet Pea into her home and within the evening she was settled and I could tell she felt at home. She shared pictures throughout the stay and was super communicative which I appreciated greatly! She came home tired and so happy - couldn’t ask for more!
We are so happy that we found Helen to take care of our "four legged baby". Our dog was taken care like a king, knowing that Helen did such a wonderful job with our dog gave us piece of mind, we were able to relax during the time away from our dog. Helen send us great pictures of our dog. Helen is just fantastic!
Sarah is an absolute dream with both of my pups. They both adore her and her husband and love playing in her yard. She is super attentive and sends me lots of pictures every time they are with her. You can really tell how much she cares for animals. We are so lucky we found her!

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 Halethorpe 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 Halethorpe 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 Halethorpe.
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 Halethorpe. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Halethorpe 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.
