“We were visiting from out of state and needed somewhere for our pups to hang out while we did touristy things. We looked for someone that was highly rated and after reviewing profiles we found Alexis. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided our dogs. She’s friendly, competent, and our dogs loved her. THANK YOU ALEXIS!”
“Ruth provided excellent service and was flexible in meeting my schedule. She is very friendly and quickly responded to my text messages with all questions answered. She shared her awesome home with Loki for the day and he thoroughly enjoyed himeself. I will definately contact her for the next time I need a pup sitter. Thanks Ruth.”
“Brittany is the seriously best! She took care of my 2 year old labradoodle, and it was clear from the photos that my dog was having the time of her life in her big backyard and welcoming environment. Thank you, Brittany!”
“Naya is AMAZING! My husband and I have a long commute and needed someone to take care of our pup during the way while we're at work. Before we found Naya, we were really concerned about leaving him somewhere else for so long during the day. But we really lucked out in finding Naya! Naya has her own 2 dogs and a huge backyard that our pup loves to play in! She takes him for walks, teaches him tricks, and helps us so much by training with him as well! Our pup comes home every day happy and tired, and is excited to go back in the morning. Naya is so attentive, caring, and loving to our pup and we feel so lucky that we found her!”
“Dana is our guardian angel. I am a self proclaimed helicopter mama but I felt completely at easy leaving my little girl. Maddie got to go on a field trip to the garden store and then play in the yard. She couldn’t have been happier which made me happy. We can’t wait to spend another day with Dana and her amazing husband.”
“Charvé was a life saver with a last minute request when my other sitter arrangements changed. She was warm and welcoming and she kept me updated. My dog also had a blast meeting new friends.”
“Alex took care of Pepe like he was her own. I very much appreciate the videos, photos, and updates. She was very good at trying to bring Pepe out of his shell. I will book with Alex again!”
“I have used Michelle for both of my dogs, yesterday was her first time watching my 3 month old yorkie & she did a wonderful job. She made sure he was comfortable because he was afraid at first. I really appreciate Michelle for all of her help. I highly recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting services.”
“Kacie was awesome! She took great care of Queen while I was away at work. Kacie is very easy to communicate with and was extremely accommodating when my schedule was switched up at work last minute. Multiple videos were sent of their daily adventures. Kacie took Queen to the park or on a hike multiple times throughout the day. I 100% recommend Kacie if you need a dog sitter!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and advocate since I was a small child. I’m now 37, have volunteered for Rude Ranch in Davidsonville, have 4 dogs of my own that I adore.

I promise to give as much care and love to your pet as I would my own. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and even small animals like ferrets and guinea pigs. I would love the opportunity to work with your pet. I promise you won’t be disappointed. My availability is very flexible since most of my days and nights are free.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Herald Harbor commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,039 sitters in Herald Harbor, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
