“Cal & Kelly were wonderful! They sent multiple photos and videos daily. This was our first time leaving our dog alone while we went on vacation but we felt very comfortable with him in their hands. Our dog had an especially great time playing with Lilo and Nero! We look forward to keeping our pup there again soon.”
“Alex is the best. He was very understanding with us when our flight was delayed and Pip always comes back to us happy and relaxed after staying with Alex. We will continue to book with him as our first choice whenever he is available.”
“Bria was awesome with my dog. She communicated with me at least on a daily basis with picture updates. I could tell she was well cared for on her pick up day as it took her a second to recognize me! I think we’ve found a home for her when I’m away.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my little pug with Fany. She’s so accommodating and love that she has a little backyard for her fury guests. Thanks so much Fany will see you again!”
“Diana and her family took great care of our puppy while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and photos and was quick to respond to messages! We would trust Diana again with Pepper Ann if she is available!”
“Tasha was very communicative, shared daily feedback and photos, knew how to handle dogs, etc. Bean seems to have had a perfectly peaceful Thanksgiving week with her family!”
“This was my pups first time with Kamille. Can’t say enough about Kamille’s very caring and attentive boarding experience for her. She gave my pup the time and space to get comfortable and provided me daily updates and videos. Will definitely use Kamille for all my boarding needs in the future.”
“Steph put my mind and heart at ease from the moment of our first contact on the app, and my feelings of trust and gratitude continued through Ben’s whole stay.”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“Drea is a great sitter. I always feel confident that my small dog will be well taken care of when she’s with Drea. We get pictures every day and my dog is happy to see Drea at drop off!”
“Precious and her husband Devin took great care of Deuce, they made him feel at home, away for home. Deuce enjoyed all their belly rubs and cuddles. They sent me plenty pictures to reassure me that he was in great care. They were amazing. I will definitely be using their services again.”
“We have used Austin and Majid on multiple occasions (and already have them booked for our next stay.) Francis is always so happy when he recognizes that we are on their street. They take great care of him and are glad to have a safe place for him to be when we are away.”
“Khadija did sooooo well with Kenzo! I was very impressed with her care, quality, location, and communication. Khadija is so sweet and I had no worries when I dropped him off before I caught an early morning flight. I will definitely book her again to be a sitter for Kenzo. Thank you again Khadija!!”
“Caleb was a perfect sitter. He was flexible and communicative and made sure my dog was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Already booked for another stay, highly recommend.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hillandale
After our meet and greet, I knew Tim, his wife and pup Mindy would be a good fit for Izzy. They did a great job communicating with us. From the updates, photos and video, we could tell that Izzy was well cared for and treated like one of their own beloved dogs. We really appreciated the pup pick-up & drop off option at our house and the safe dog seat they had. Highly recommend!
I was away on a long trip and anxious about being away from Charlie for such a long time. Stephen cared for Charlie like he was part of his family. I received daily updates about Charlie's activities, and the photos gave me peace of mind that Charlie was having a great time and being treated like a king. Charlie also has a medical condition, and Stephen was diligent about administering medications and monitoring Charlie. I highly recommend Stephen to care for your pup when you need to travel. 5/5 stars!
Aleyda took great care of our dog Ty - he came home content and happy and well exercised. Aleyda was extremely communicative - we received multiple pictures and texts each day. You can tell that she really loves dogs, gets to know them individually and cares about them. I would highly recommend her and will ask her to sit for Ty again anytime.
Michael took such good care of my German Shepherd/Husky mix, Kota! Not only did he follow the instructions I gave for commands and feeding/cleaning, but he went over the moon to make sure I knew Kota felt safe. I received regular updates, whether they were videos or pictures! Kota also got to meet other dogs and cats, which Michael facilitated extremely well. This was such a wonderful little staycation for my big dog. 10/10 recommend!
My pup is a regular at daycare and this was her second time boarding with Cal and Kelly. Pup clearly loved every minute of her stay! appreciate all the photo and video updates — it’s so nice to see how happy and comfortable she is while I’m away. Highly recommend!
Maggie just had her third stay at Rebecca's home. Maggie knows where we are once I drive into Rebecca's neighborhood and she got SO excited, she cried and barked to get out of the car as soon as we pulled up. She ran to Rebecca and smothered her with kisses and wags. Rebecca is a great communicator and I loved the updates she sent, which gave me peace of mind when I was far away. I know she loves my dog and takes such good care of her, and I never have to worry.
Julio is so wonderful! He’s watched both our dogs previously and we love going back to work with him. He was available short notice and worked with us to nail down last minute details. We really appreciated his flexibility, prompt responses, and professionalism. Our dogs love him too.
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Mimi during her month long stay! From the very beginning, Sonia gave us complete peace of mind. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and kept us updated every single day with photos and messages, which meant so much to us while we were away. During Mimi's stay, she unfortunately became sick, and Sonia went above and beyond to make sure she received the best care possible. She kept us informed every step of the way, took Mimi to the veterinarian, carefully followed all of the vet's recommendations, and even prepared her special meals to help her recover. The best part is that Mimi absolutely adores both her and her daughter. It was obvious that Mimi was treated like part of their family, and that gave us so much comfort. We are beyond grateful for everything they did for Mimi, and without hesitation, we would trust them to care for her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is responsible, loving, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond for the pets in her care. Thank you Sonia for taking such wonderful care of our sweet Mimi we appreciate you more than words can express!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Hillandale home-away-from-home, 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 Hillandale.
<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 Hillandale 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 , 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 .
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.
