“Shuling was wonderful! It was my first time leaving my fur baby with her— she sent photos within a few minutes of drop-off, along with plenty of updates throughout his stay. It was clear he was happy and well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Megan was fantastic! She was very communicative before and during the time she boarded our dog Angel. Would recommend her in a heartbeat to friends & family looking for pet care.”
“Crystal was wonderful. She really puts her all into babysitting our pups! My mini poodle loved her and had other pups to play with. She was very intentional from the start, we also had a FaceTime and in-person meet & greet. I would definitely use her as my go-to.”
“Anthony and his wife were absolutely wonderful! I immediately felt a sense of comfort when meeting them and they were able to accommodate my last minute booking. They took such great care of my almost 2 year old Maltipoo. Their pup, Moonie is also so very sweet and well mannered! I received consistent updates and photos during my trip, Demi had such a great time! Thank you for being so kind, patient and opening your home to her! We will definitely be back!”
“Our pets felt right at home with Janice and Stalio. They were so welcoming, helpful and accommodating with our boys. They kept us up to date daily with pictures and messages and even helped us out with making them their food because we miscounted the amount we sent. They provided amazing care and we look forward to rebooking with them in the future.”
“Jasmine is a phenomenal dogsitter. She sent pictures daily of Jax which provided a level of comfort and surety that he was being treated well. I definitely recommend her services and I am sure I will be a repeat customer!”
“Angela was amazing in caring for my dog while we were on vacation. She took great care of my elderly dog and gave him all of his daily medications. She communicated at least once a day and responded very quickly if I had any questions or concerns. I plan to rebook her the next time we need her care. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Benjamin is an excellent dog sitter! We could really tell he cared about our dog Chewy. He has a lovely home in a nice quiet neighborhood with plenty of outdoors space for our dogs. Chewy looked really happy during his stay and didn’t give us any attitude after his pickup.”
“Jasmine took wonderful care of our dog Hank over a long weekend for us. Hank came home happy and healthy and had a fun time with Jasmine! Jasmine is communicative, flexible, responsive, and a real animal lover. Your pets are in good hands here with her!”
“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😊”
“Fidel and Melissa are really excellent in handling animals. They are kind but set boundaries for the dogs they watch! Their very inciteful in offering their expertise on your animals for the betterment of their care! They have a beautiful family and are very caring people!”
“They were awesome! So accommodating with the issues we had with our trip and the possibility of our dog being in heat. Kept us updated about the pups nearly everyday and they had a great time! Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing this service and we would use again.”
“Theresa took great care of Mary. She shared ample photos of Mary playing walking and relaxing. She was quick to respond to all messages and was understanding and flexible with pick up and drop off.”
“I was a little nervous about leaving Rex and Roxy overnight, but Qingbo put me at ease right away. They stayed at her place, and she was so attentive the whole time. She sent plenty of photos and updates, so I never had to wonder how things were going, and she was thorough with the information she shared. It was clear my pups were in really good hands. I came home to two happy Yorkies and a lot of peace of mind. I'd absolutely book Qingbo again!”
“Another great stay for Cocoa! He loves going over here & Ms.Theresa is always so kind in updating and sending over pics. Will use her again and again and again!”
“Tiffany was awesome! She kept communication the whole time we were away. She even sent pictures daily. Tiffany showered my Bella with so much love and attention just as we would. I will definitely continue to pick Tiffany for Bella’s care for future needs. She’s perfect 🙂”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Herald Harbor
I was hesitant to give Rover another try, but finding Carlie has been the most magical experience. She is so warm and welcoming that my dog immediately felt comfortable, started exploring her surroundings and barely noticed I was leaving. I’m so grateful to have found a place where my dog feels happy and loved.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience boarding Finn! From the start, Ben was warm, friendly, and welcoming, and his wonderful home felt like a safe, comfortable place for Finn to stay. We never worried while we were away. Ben consistently reassured us that Finn was having a great time and being incredibly well cared for. That peace of mind meant so much to us. We especially loved how active he was with Finn, taking him on lots of walks and giving him plenty of attention. His communication was excellent too. He was thoughtful about asking clarifying questions and checking in about any concerns, which made it clear how much he cared about getting everything right for Finn. We also had to make some adjustments to our drop-off and pickup times, and he was always flexible, understanding, and easy to work with. He’s truly a great guy, and we’re so grateful for the care he gave Finn. We would absolutely board with him again and recommend him wholeheartedly!
Carla was an awesome dog sitter! She is so nice and provided daily updates and photos of our fur son. We felt so comfortable knowing how our boy was doing during our long trip, and Carla clearly took amazing care of him. We’re so happy to have found Carla and will use her again the next time we need a pet sitter!
Highly Recommend Brittany! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brittany and the exceptional care she provided for my dog, June, during her overnight stay! From beginning to end, this was hands down one of the best dog sitting experiences I’ve ever had. Brittany went above and beyond to make sure June felt comfortable, loved, safe, and completely at home. What impressed me most was the genuine love and affection Brittany showed June. It was immediately clear that she truly enjoys caring for animals and treats them as if they were her own. Finding someone you can trust with your dog is extremely important, and Brittany exceeded every expectation. The biggest compliment I can give Brittany is that when it was time to pick June up, she actually didn’t want to leave! That alone speaks volumes about the wonderful experience she had. Seeing how happy and comfortable June was gave me tremendous peace of mind and confirmed that I had made the perfect choice. Brittany’s kindness, attentiveness, and dedication to providing a loving environment truly set her apart. She doesn’t simply watch dogs; she makes them feel like part of her family. That level of care is priceless, especially when you’re trusting someone with a pet who means so much to you. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m extremely grateful for the love and attention Brittany gave June throughout her stay. Without question, I will absolutely be using Brittany again! She has earned my complete trust, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and outstanding dog sitter. Thank you, Brittany, for treating June like family and making her overnight stay such an incredible experience. You are truly exceptional! Five stars aren’t enough! Absolutely the best experience!
FANTASTIC!!! We received lots of updates on Ruby's activities, how she was settling into her new space and interacting with everyone. I'm an information Mom so receiving the detailed information Debra shared definitely eased my anxiety of leaving her for a long weekend. Ruby made herself right at home and was happy at pick up. Thankful to have found such a loving and positive soul to watch over our fur baby.

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 Herald Harbor 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 Herald Harbor 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 Herald Harbor.
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 Herald Harbor. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Herald Harbor 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.
