“Can’t say enough great things about this family and how they cared for Sugar & Spice! This was my first time leaving them with someone new, and I was definitely hesitant—but their warmth and genuine love for animals put me at ease right away. They keep my babies for a week and kept me consistently updated with photos and videos, which meant everything to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again. Triple A rating: Awesome, Amazing, and Approachable! Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Donna and it will not be my last. She kept our 4 year old Yorkie for a week and sent photos and/or video regularly. I can tell that my dog had a GREAT time will there, with Donna and her husband and with the other dogs. My dog is happy and healthy. Donna was a great communicator and very easy to work with. The next time I need a boarder, I know my dog will be in good hands. Thank you again for your great service.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They welcomed our pup for a last-minute weekend stay and gave him such a comfortable, happy place to settle in. Their dog was a wonderful playmate, and the frequent updates and lots of photos made it easy to relax knowing he was having a great time. They were communicative throughout and incredibly accommodating as our schedule kept changing. We’re so grateful for the care and flexibility, and would happily book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“I am always hesitant to leave my dog with anyone, but Marta made me feel so comfortable and I knew Hibana would be in great hands! I knew from the moment we did a meet & greet before we officially did the booking. Helped me get to know her and her own two dogs and it was great! Hibana has the best 5 days there :) and I got pictures every day which made me feel better about leaving my dog lol. Hibana is an apartment dog so she was in love with Marta’s back yard. And since this is Marta’s full time job her attention was on the dogs all the time. Would 100% recommend. If I could give her 10 stars I would lol.”

“Sandra is the best. She love dogs, and the dogs love her. Everytime I'm over when dropping off my dog and picking up my dog he look so happy and when he got home he sleep so well because he gets to burn all his energy over there. He is fed on schedule and he is more obedient since she been helping me putting him back on schedule. She is great. All of her family members love dogs.”
“This was my first time using the app, and Estela answered all my questions before I booked. When I dropped off Coco, she immediately went to her. She also sent me pictures and kept me updated on how my dog was doing throughout the day and overnight. I appreciate how much she cares about animals, ensuring they return happy. I was pleased to see my dog happy when she came back, and we will definitely use her services again.”
“Sabrina was so caring and attentive to Ace. I really appreciate the time she took with him and even making some recommendations. She went above and beyond with Ace, so we will definitely be back again soon!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Lindsay took such great care of my pup, Marley, over the holidays! She went above and beyond getting Marley a toy (her new favorite) for Christmas, making adorable ornaments, replacing a sweater that got damaged, and sending daily picture and video updates. In every photo, Marley looked so happy and well entertained, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing she was truly loved and treated like family. I’m so grateful for the care, thoughtfulness, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can fully trust!”
“Hank had another wonderful vacation staying with Carlie and her family! It is so nice to leave him with someone I know treats him like he is her own - I seriously cannot recommend Carlie enough!!!”
“Mr. Aaron and Ms. Tia made my first time as a Rover user so awesome! I am so happy to have found them, right after I dropped my girl Jasmine off I was sent a video of her playing with her new friends. She was nervous when we were separated, so I could speak more in depth with Mr. Aaron, but the video put me at peace knowing that my sweet girl was good. I would defintely board with Mr. Aaron and Ms. Tia again.”
“Tytus was once again showered with lots of love, hugs, and care by Angela. Her dedicated commitment to satisfy her fur babies, give peace of mind to their parents, and provide updates through text, pics, and videos, is greatly appreciated. There aren't enough thank yous to give to Angela for her hardwork in ensuring the pets she has been entrusted to watch are safe and properly cared for. I'm booking her again and I highly recommend her multiple services.”

94% of sitters in Harwood 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 Harwood 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 Harwood.
<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 Harwood 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.
