“Lucky had a great time with Max and Thomas. He enjoyed playing in the backyard and all the pets. Thank you and I'll definitely rebook again. I appreciate the prompt replies to my texts.”
“No sure where to begin, but from the moment I reached out to Jill & Chad, I appreciated how they communicated. We set up a meet & greet before the booking so my Jax could meet the family. From that moment I knew he would be okay, he had never been away from us for 6 days, so I was so nervous. Let’s just say Jax will be on the recurring schedule ( maybe he’ll get frequent flyer mileage) lol. Jill had an emergency and didn’t cancel, Chad and the boys didn’t miss a beat. They were attentive, sent pics, videos, and updated twice a day, I appreciated that so much. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy vacation without STRESS! I give them 5 STARS! We had an amazing experience, if your a nervous fur baby mommy like me, Jill & Chad is the CURE! AWESOMENESS!”
“Gisel and her family were absolutely amazing to my fury baby. The constant updates and videos/pictures allowed me to be on travel stress free. I will definitely be letting my baby go back and back again. ☺️”
“Kayla was great and was able to accommodate me and my dog on very short notice. She’s incredibly caring and was great with updating me during my boarding time. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Candace is wonderful! It was obvious she has an affection for dogs as soon as we, and our Boston, met her. She has lots of room for running and playing. She sent pictures several times showing how comfortable Pru was at her home. She took great care of her "houseguest". I have no reservations about recommending her, and we will definitely use her again when we are in the area.”
“Abby and her family were amazing! They took great care of my pup Maxx while I was away and sent plenty of videos and pictures of all the loving and play time he had. Maxx loves kids so he was spoiled rotten having friends to play with and keep him entertained. I will happily book with Abby again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Yvonne did such a wonderful job taking care of our 4 year old and 1.5 year old golden retrievers. She has a beautiful fenced yard for them to play in. We loved all of the photo and video updates we received; it really put our mind at ease during our trip. She was so thoughtful, kind, and thorough with following the care instructions and communicating with us. We already have another stay booked with her this fall and are looking forward to using her services more in the future!”
“We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Cookie and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated, sent us pictures, and Cookie looked so happy and comfortable with her. 🥹❤️ It was clear that she treated Cookie like her own. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave her, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Amy and Thomas did an amazing job caring for Peter. He came home happy, healthy, and calm. I'm glad he had the opportunity to interact with their dog Phoebe. Phoebe is delightful and friendly. They communicated with messages and pictures throughout Peter's stay. We would definitely book with them again!”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received while we were on vacation. We got numerous pictures, and our dog seemed to be on vacation too! Thank you for taking good care of Kona!”
“Chelsea is fantastic! She welcomed Churchill into her family and allowed me to relax on vacation without worrying. Daily pics kept me informed of his comfort with Chelsea and family we will definitely use her on a regular basis!”
“Aaron and his family were amazing. They welcomed our 3 year old English Bulldog Rowan into their home and he was comfortable from the start. They took him for walks often, sent pictures of him daily, and put our minds at ease while we attended an out of town funeral. We will absolutely be booking with them in the future for our boarding needs.”
“I have to say this with a warm heart that I absolutely agree with the other reviews. Latoya was professional, and kind. When BJ entered her home, I knew that I didn't have to worry about him. Latoya is amazing. I can't wait to book with her again.”
“Randi and her family were amazing with our dog and treated him like their own. She was responsive and sent regular pictures and updates. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Molly was fantastic! She was patient and welcoming despite my dog’s high energy level and kept me updated throughout the stay with great pictures and regular communication. She was very knowledgeable, well-prepared, and even taught us a few new things. It was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I highly recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“Steph took great care of Jill and kept us in the loop on the great time she was having with her two dogs. Jill was very happy and very tuckered out from a great couple days of playing when we picked her up.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Havre de Grace
Susan is the best sitter in the world! The boys are always sad to leave her, Baxter actually pouts when we get him home, and they have so much fun with her two pups. She always takes them for great walks, and they love lounging around in her back yard. They become a real part of her family when they're there.

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.
95% of sitters in Havre de Grace 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 Havre de Grace 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 Havre de Grace.
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.

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.

You and your Havre de Grace 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.
