“Absolutely THE BEST!! Katie and her family took such good care of our German Shepherd, Alpha while we were away! We needed overnight boarding for a few days and she took us as a new client- without hesitation! I received SO many pictures while Alpha was staying with her and it made me feel so comfortable and that Alpha looked like he was at home and with an amazing family! She listened to all of our normal daily routine/care instructions and followed them completely. I would absolutely, 100% recommend Katie as a sitter, for daycare, overnight boarding, etc. She is very easy to talk to, kind, works with you and your schedule, and definitely loving towards animals!!! We will most definitely be using her services again!!”
“Theresa is easily my favorite Rover of all time!!! She clearly took great care of my little one and my normally super shy pup felt right at home with no transition period. Which is a first!!! Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Whitney took great care of our boy Hokie! He got along great with their dog Alfred who is a sweet gentle dog. I received pictures and updates while we were gone. We will definitely use her again.”
“Thomas was fantastic. We got updates and photos of our babies everyday. He was super responsive. Our babies played, had fun, and were happy. We definitely will be booking again.”
“Laura was great!! She sent photos and videos daily. She communicated wonderfully. I would definitely leave Kyro with her again!! I could tell Kyro loved being there and playing with her and her dogs!! Excellent!!”
“Camila is great with my dog and very accommodating. She even goes the extra mile to drop him off home because I’m always so tired after a long day of traveling. She's very responsive and will send pictures throughout your dog’s stay. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds for four years, providing walks, playtime, and dependable care. I treat my dog like a son so I would do the same for yours! My flexible schedule allows for walks, playtime, and snuggles anytime. I have a fenced yard so your dogs are able to get out all the energy they day throughout the day! I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I provide a safe, loving, and supervised environment, and can crate your dog if needed.
About: Hello, I’ve been boarding and walking dogs for a while now. I love my job. I’m also open to drop ins and short time sittings. I use to have a dog myself for over a year. I’m home full time and can walk/feed/take your dog to potty at any time. I’m open to long boardings and short time sittings, and all walks and drop ins. Plenty of time to play with your pet. I make sure there’s nothing on the floor or in the dog’s reach that can harm them and if there’s a crate, will usually put them there if I’m not going to be around.
“Gary and his wife Karen took wonderful care of my dog, Finn, while I was away at the beach for a few days. They were great with communication, sending updates and making me feel at ease knowing Finn was in good hands. It’s clear they truly know and love dogs, and they have a welcoming home where Finn was well cared for. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I’ll be booking with Gary again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“So glad Nathaly was available to watch Pedro again! I knew I didn't have to worry about him while on vacation. Nathaly sent photos of Pedro getting lots of play and snuggles during his stay with her. He came home a very happy and tuckered out doggo!”
“Steph has a beautiful yard and I love the photos/updates she sends of my dog. It looks like she has a great time playing with Steph’s pups as well. Very happy to have found a great pet sitter in the area.”
“Melanie and her family were amazing… Daisy is exhausted from all of the fun that she had. She was kind, and sent pictures and made Daisy feel like family. We are so appreciative.”
“Ceil took care of my dog for a few overnights and I could not be more happy with the care he gave. From the time I dropped him over I knew right away my dog was in good hands. He kept me updated with pictures and videos which was very warming. If there were 10 stars I woukd of gave all 10”
“My dog Luna seemed to have enjoyed her time at Linda’s home and playing with the other dogs. Linda was communicative and flexible.i appreciated the daily photos and sometimes even videos. I will be booking with her again.”
“Connie is amazing! My bunny and dog are both rescues, and my dog is very skiddish with new people. It takes her time to establish trust. She took to Connie immediately! Connie has gone above and beyond with her care. She even helped troubleshoot an a/c problem while I was gone. When I come home, my babies are so content and happy that I think Connie is their vacation! I highly recommend her services.”

We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Cookie and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated, sent us pictures, and Cookie looked so happy and comfortable with her. 🥹❤️ It was clear that she treated Cookie like her own. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave her, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾
Alexis did an amazing job taking care of Joey! She was incredibly gracious and attentive throughout the entire stay, and I really appreciated the pictures and updates she provided. It was reassuring to see Joey happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. Alexis was dependable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about Joey’s well-being. I would definitely consider using Alexis again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
Chris and Kelly were great when our pup was having some bad allergy rides and kept us updated. There dog Gigi was a good friend to Gunner. I felt Chris and Kelly were both super responsive to messages and calls during our time away. We would absolutely use them again!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
