“Hester was absolutely wonderful! Sent us updates on our boy while we were out of the country and shared about all the fun he was having. Would definitely rebook and recommend!!”
“Peggy was very understanding and loving with Daisy. Daisy is a senior who at times requires a lot of attention. When I picked Daisy up she looked content. Usually when I board her it takes me a couple of days to settle her down. This was not the case with Peggy!”
“Amazing! Went home to visit family and it was super comforting to know my pup was in good hands. Michelle sent so many pictures it was great! She also took such great care of my pup! 10/10 recommend!”
“Shuling was like a second mom to Wally while I was away! They treated him like he was their own and he loved playing with their dog. Shuling sent pictures and videos every day so that I felt comfortable. Looked like he was having a blast! Will definitely book again.”
“Debra and her family were AMAZING! Super patient and understanding with all of my doggies quirks and needs! Holly loved playing with her kids! We will be staying with them again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my girl!”
About: Reliable, Attentive Care — I Treat Your Pets Like Family Hi, I’m Stacey. I’m new to Rover, but not new to caring deeply and responsibly for dogs. I recently lost my own dog after many years, and that experience reinforced how important patience, comfort, and dependable care truly are. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with a pet you love. I follow routines closely, take instructions seriously, and pay attention to the small details that help pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with senior dogs, anxious pets, or dogs who need a calm, steady presence. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands. Schedule availability: Currently, my availability is during weekday (elementary) school hours (8am - 2pm), ensuring dedicated attention for each visit giving focus and unrushed care. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow each pet’s routine and instructions closely. I ensure leashes, doors, and gates are secure, monitor behavior and comfort, and give calm, attentive care. I respect my clients’ homes and provide clear updates and photos after every visit.
“Tanya was great! She took excellent care of Hemi and Benzo for an extended weekend. Tanya sent us regular videos/pictures, kept us updated, responded to us promptly and followed all instructions perfectly. Our dogs got plenty of exercise outside during the day and lots of playtime at the dog park too. We really appreciated the reliable and caring service!”
“Our 8 1/2 year old dog just stayed with Candice. He is very attached to me and does not like to get away from my side! Candice took great care of him and he did very well in her care. Candice sent frequent photos - which reassured me how well he was doing. Highly recommend!!”
“Angela was so kind and easy to work with! She really took our pup's specific needs into mind and helped her have a wonderful stay! Angela shared pictures and videos with us each day and gave us updates on how things were going. Thank you, Angela, for your attentiveness and kindness. We appreciate your kindness and the peace of mind your updates brought to us while we were on vacation. :)”
“Anthony did a fantastic job sitting for our pup! His communication was top-notch, and he kept us updated throughout the entire stay with photos and check-ins. Everything went super smoothly, and we couldn't be happier with the overall service. Highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“James is an awesome sitter! We felt super comfortable leaving our 100lb Corso with James and he sent us pictures every day (which is great for a worry wart like me). Definitely boarding our dog with James again!”
“Luba and James were/are wonderful!! I am confident they treated Charlotte as if she was their own. They kept me informed how she was doing throughout stay, which was important because Charlotte has anxiety/separation issues. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is going away and must board their pet.”
“Alexis is the absolute best sitter to my box Rex. I have used her multiple times over the years anywhere from 1 - 10 nights in her home and my dog is excited to jump out and go in every time I drop him off. Thanks again!”
“Hi Kelly & George, I cannot express enough gratitude for how wonderfully you took care of Coco while we were gone. Knowing he was in such loving hands gave us peace of mind during our trip. And your updates and pictures were always a highlight of our day! Again, thanks a million for being the best dog sitter we could ever ask for! Love, Moc - Kim & Lily.”
“Where do I start… oh! New pet parent, so I was extremely nervous but from the moment I met Nichole all my worries melted away! Her family made my Paris baguette feel right at home. She sent pictures, and gave updates with funny commentary. I would absolutely book with her again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jacobsville
This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Peggy was amazing! She was calm and gentle with the our dog. She consistently sent updates and pictures to let us know how she was doing. I would highly recommend Peggy to others. We look forward to using her again when needed.
This was the first time my dog was left with someone he didn’t know. With him being blind, it’s probably very stressful for him. Becca took the time to be with him and he was comfortable. She sent me pics and updates and I think he had a very good experience. I will definitely use her again!!
I was really nervous leaving Gypsea for the first time with someone that I didn't know. I wasn't sure how Gypsea would do not knowing who she was with. She did wonderfully!! She seemed to fit in with Joann's own pets and had tons of fun playing with her doggies! Joann was very good with keeping me updated on how Gypsea was doing and sending me photos of all the fun! Gypsea had a great time! She is worn out and sleeping like a baby! I will definitely use Joann in the future to take care of my Gypsea! Thank you again Joann for making Gypsea feel at home and putting my mind at ease!!
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.
Carol treated our dog as her own. My dog Rosie loved Carol and Carol will be our sitter moving forward. We were able relax on our vacation knowing Rosie had great care. We can't say enough good things about Carol. Take our word for it on how great Carols care was for our little Rosie.
We followed Sarah from Baltimore to her new home in Pasadena because she is the BEST Rover sitter out there. As a dog mom who is very attached to my fur baby, I am at ease when my pup is with Sarah. Sarah works from home so pets in her care get frequent potty breaks throughout the day and lots of love and attention. She is great about keeping owners informed with status updates and pictures. I appreciate that she accommodates my pup who is an extremely picky eater. Sarah is totally trustworthy and you can know your pet is in good hands with her. Absolutely recommend!
Justine did an amazing job boarding my golden retriever, Gibson, for 4 nights. Communication was great, drop-off and pickup were easy, and Gibson came home happy and relaxed. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I had zero concerns while I was away, and I’d absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend.

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 Jacobsville 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 Jacobsville.
<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 Jacobsville 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.
