“Jeren was able to watch our new pup on short notice and did a great job. She sent daily pictures and descriptive updates. Our pup looked like she had a blast! Additionally, Jeren had no issues giving ear meds and was patient with our pup's shy nature. When we need a petsitter again, we'll be contacting Jeren first!”
“Michelle is the best. She has dog sat for Missy on a number of occasions when I needed to go out of town. I receive multiple photos and updates every day while I’m away. I would highly recommend Michelle!”
“I couldn't be happier! Their communication was excellent, with regular updates and a genuine understanding of my dog's needs. My pup came home happy and well-cared for; I highly recommend their services! 🌟🐾”
“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”
“Tarina is always there whenever we need a place for our dogs. She is trustworthy, loving and always takes the best care of them. My dog is always exhausted when coming home from a stay because he has so much fun! So happy we have her whenever needed.”
“Very happy with the care of our baby 😁 Jay is really picky on who he takes medications from, and Jasimine was the exception. He was comfortable enough to trust her from the beginning (first time in 3 years since he has been comfortable with anyone right off the back!) Very pleased and happy with the care he received.”
“Outstanding My dog Maui love her. Maui had a great time with her. She is really a dog lover. Pick up and drop is for her was very easy. She took Great care of my baby. My for use her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I read all of the reviews for Shuling and was very impressed with what previous customers had to say. I requested her services and she accepted, even though it was deemed a last minute request. She was very communicative, responded quickly to my questions and made booking with her easy. Upon drop off, she was waiting for us outside and greeted us warmly. Throughout Loki's stay, she provided multiple pictures of him daily. She put our hearts and minds at ease knowing he was in good hands. I had a request to extend his stay a few more days and she didn't hesitate to accept. Made the change to the dates easy. Upon picking him up, she was waiting outside with him and he was happy and healthy! I will definitely use Shuling again!!!”
“Gisel did an awesome job accommodating my last minute emergency need to board my dog for a few days. She was patient, responsive and flexible given this was the first time I ever used this service. I would definitely use her again.”
“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!!”
“This was our second time leaving our dog Peach with them and she had the best time. It was a relief to know that she was in such good hands while we were out of the country. Jill kept in contact and sent regular pictures. 10/10 recommend them and will continue to use them!”
“Katelyn was really excellent and accommodating for our puppy’s needs. She was vigilant about potty time and gave us multiple updates while we were away for a wedding. She was welcoming and helped us feel secure, especially for one of our first times using this type of service. Definitely recommend!”
“My lab Ruby had a wonderful time with Jacob and Megan. She was super excited that she would be able to play with other dogs and lounge on their deck. She was exhausted when she came home. I definitely recommend Jacob and Megan as dog sitters and would take Ruby back again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They welcomed our pup for a last-minute weekend stay and gave him such a comfortable, happy place to settle in. Their dog was a wonderful playmate, and the frequent updates and lots of photos made it easy to relax knowing he was having a great time. They were communicative throughout and incredibly accommodating as our schedule kept changing. We’re so grateful for the care and flexibility, and would happily book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Patrick and Bahiya have been a godsend for Loki and am so glad to have found them on rover. With Loki having diabetes and sometimes just being “extra” it’s so wonderful to have such great sitters to trust and rely on people to take care of our dog. Thank you for taking such great care of Loki and look forward to the next time!”
“What a delightful time Ginger had, with this lovely family. Carlie was attentive, flexible, and like a second home while I was away. I will definitely be returning.”
“I don't know if I can sing her praises loud enough, but I'll try :o) Marliez has been watching our sweet boy Racha, every Saturday for over the past 6 months. Our furball absolutely Loves her and her furbabies. She does so many fun things with him, not only several walks a day, but playing in the doggie fields, leash free and even doggie Pool parties, which Racha LOVED. She sends pictures all the time, which warms my heart. RECENTLY, Marliez watched our Racha while we were out of town. She kept him for a week and every day we would get pics. We could see our baby playing, and napping and eating, just loving life. (I was afraid he might not want to come home he was having such a good time ) Marliez is truly wonderful and a special person when it comes to our pets. I Highly Recommend Marliez, you will not find another person that will love your dog like its her own. We All Love her”
“I am extremely pleased with the care provided. She was an excellent caregiver, very attentive to my pet and treated her with the same love and kindness I would. I will definitely choose her services again. Her customer service and dedication were outstanding.”
“Outstanding dog sitter! My dog had a blast and Pamela C. was wonderful about documenting it through photos and sharing. Excellent communication and clearly a wonderful dog person. 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 Johnsontown 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 Johnsontown.
<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 Johnsontown 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.
