“Theresa was amazing with my senior pup! I loved receiving daily updates and photos of my little one. My guy is a timid little one, but he opened up with Theresa and her family and surprised us both by giving them a little lick. She went above and beyond by washing his bed and giving him a quick rub down after he had an accident. I definitely would recommend Theresa for your sitter needs. She’s a real gem.”
“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!!!”
“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!!”
“Lorna was great!! Very accommodating and easy to work with! I got a picture and video every morning! Aries is very anxious but she warmed up and I felt very good about her care!”
“Jaicy has taken great care of our dogs, and this was the first overnight stay at her house for our current dog. He had a great time and I felt super comfortable knowing he was under Jaicy 's care all week.”
“Esther and Yi took excellent care of my Shorkie. He got to snuggle with the family and lots of walks. I received photos and updates every day. If I need Charlie to be boarded again, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them.”
“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.”
“Jasmine was very attentive to Harlem and immediately understood his quirks. She recognized he loves to be handled like a human and did so accordingly. There were enough pics to make me feel comfortable being away.”
“Helen and her crew were so wonderful! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog, who can be a bit of a handful, and made him feel right at home. Our dog was so excited to go back after our meet and greet, and seemed a bit disappointed to leave at the end of his stay. Her dogs were also super sweet and welcomed Berry just as much as Helen did. She was super communicative and I really appreciated the updates and pics. I will definitely try to book with Helen again!”
“Great care, flexibility, and plenty of photo updates. Megan took care of my 3 sweet baby angels (cats) for the better part of a week. She did provide some flexibility with my atypical schedule as I was between houses. I’ve since moved out of the area, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.”
“Fidel and his family took good care of my boys. They communicated well and were flexible with me picking the boys up early. My boys got along great with his dog and where best buds by the time they left. I would use Fidel's services again.”
“Nichole was awesome with my little fur baby. I would highly recommend. I’ve never left my fur baby with anyone, but she made me comfortable to leave Dash in her care. Would definitely use her in the future?”
“Jacquline was very efficient with feedback and she sent pictures of bailey enjoying her time with Jacquline family. Jacquline is kind and loves animals. She and her daughter was the perfect match for bailey while I was on vacation. I would definitely work with Jacquline again.🥰🥰”
“I join the others in singing the praises of Ginnie and Steven. Very attentive, listened to my concerns and needs and of course took great care of my puppy. I received daily updates and photos. It was my first dog boarding experience and they made it a smooth one.”
About: I’ve grown up raising animals my entire life. From dogs and horses to chickens, cats, and other small animals. I have been dog sitting for 6 years, and love on those dogs as if they were my own. I have raised several dogs into their senior years. I currently work from home, so I am able to spend the whole day with your pet. I’m free to walk and care for your pet from 8:30-1:00 during the week. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run and play. I also have a large poodle for them to play with. I have a large crate should you need it.
“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!”
“Jasmine has always taken such good care of my nervous dog. She updates me often and sends pictures. She's flexible with timing and has come through in a pinch for me before. My dog likes her and enjoys her stay with her. Thank you so much”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hanover
Our dog was experiencing diarrhea during our trip. Kyury was incredibly kind, patient and compassionate in dealing with this situation. She took our dog to the vet and administered medication. Throughout it all, she was very communicative and most importantly, compassionate--to us, and to our dog. We truly appreciated how Kyury tried to put our mind at ease while we were on vacation. She is responsible and caring, and any dog would be lucky to be watched by Kyury!
Jingru took wonderful care of cockapoo Luna during her stay. She kept us updated with lovely photos of Luna and Jingru’s dog enjoying plenty of tummy rubs. It was clear Luna felt comfortable and well cared for, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’re grateful to Jingru and would happily book with her again!
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!
Ava responded quickly to a last-minute request to watch Storm and immediately put our minds at ease. She kept us updated throughout his stay with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Storm was well cared for, and we would book with her again. Highly recommend!
Richa was an amazing sitter for my dogs while I was out of town. I always get nervous to leave them with anyone, but Richa put me at ease and was very accommodating to my concerns and the dogs' schedules and needs. She was also great with communication, sending me updates and asking questions. Richa even took my dogs on walks and an adventure to see the cherry blossom trees. Cannot thank her enough. Would book again. Thanks Richa!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hanover is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $72 per night. 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 Hanover 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 Hanover 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 Hanover.
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 Hanover. 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 Hanover 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.
