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 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. I’m looking forward to working with you. Currently I have very open availability as I am a freelance dog groomer but I am expecting to start working with a mobile grooming company soon.

I am a conscientious and friendly person who will watch your pets closely, with care. I grew up with cats and dogs and am familiar with caring for them. I will take pictures throughout the day and provide you with one update per day around 6-7 PM.

“Sarah was amazing playing with our high energy puppy all day, handled his delicate diet while recovering from an illness, and was kind and patient with my hectic work schedule. She was truly a gem!”
“I can’t recommend Caroline enough, she took BayLeigh on extremely short notice, sent pictures all day and was super to work with! Will definitely be using her Doggy Daycare in the future.”
“Sooo easy to work with her under flexible conditions. My hound is a rescue from a nine-year life of abuse. Celena allowed Miguel and me to do a met and greet ahead of time so that it wouldn’t be a shock for him. He was treated as a visiting family member and enjoyed his stay.”
“Dana was great. We needed someone close to my sister's house while we celebrated an early Christmas, and she was able to help us out. We will definitely use her again when we are in town.”
“Ed and Amy are pleasant and attentive to their pet guests. Plus, they are very good about making sure animals get bathroom breaks and exercise. In addition, Gunner’s warm demeanor always makes people feel welcome.”
“I have been to many dog sitters with my new pup and she has NEVER been so happy than she was with Alexandra! Alexandra exercised her, played, and allowed supervised play with her other dogs! Tesla did not want to leave when I came to pick her up. When we got home she went to her bed and went to sleep seemingly fully content! We have not seen her this way before! We are thrilled to have found Alexandra and to know that our pup is loved and cared for just as we do by her! I highly recommend her!!! We will be returning weekly!!! Tesla can't wait!”
“Sabrina and Ryan were wonderful with our 5 month old puppy Chloe. It was a last minute request and they were able to accommodate us. This was our first time using the River app and Sabrina helped us navigate. We will surely use them again.”
“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!”
About: I had my first pup when I was 5 years old; from that point on I've always had a dog in my life. To me dogs are loving and happy. I have a part-time job as an in home care giver, Taking care of the animals in my free time is a pleasure, I am happy to be with them. I make sure they have fresh water, nice blanket to lay on and a nice yard to run around in and they let me hold them once in a while.
“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.”
“Joyce was amazing. I contacted her super last minute because I wasn’t feeling well and she came to my rescue and took good care of my puppy Houston. He came home so happy and energetic. I received videos while he was in her care and he had so much fun.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, currently I only have one dog for the first time. I will treat your dog like a part of the family. Please let me know if there’s any special treatment that needs done. I do have a toddler home with me as well so I request that the dog is child friendly! I work from home so your dog will get potty breaks whenever they need it. I have a fully fenced in yard for your pup to run around and play. Your dog will be allowed on couches/beds, wherever they are comfortable. I have dog beds and have baby gates set up so they can have areas of peace if they need. I do have a toddler at home who loves dogs but will maintain space if needed. I also have a husky mix who generally just minds her own business.

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 Hickory Point 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 2,055 sitters in Hickory Point, 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.
