“I could not recommend Kelly and Cal more enthusiastically! They took great care of our two babies, sent frequent updates including videos and pictures, were super responsive -- and were SO easy and flexible! I needed to add time to our scheduled visit and they happily rolled with that. Plus, I was a few minutes late picking up and they were fine with that too! Most importantly, our doggies were happy and healthy. Will definitely rebook!”
“We left our dog with Patricia for 5 nights. We were nervous because he’s never stayed away from home since we got him. He is also a rescue, and, while a gentle pup, we just didn’t know for sure how he would behave away from home and his family. Fortunately, he did very well because Patricia and her husband took great care of him. He enjoyed their and their dog’s company. Patricia sent us daily updates with photos which were much appreciated. She communicated clearly, was punctual and professional. Highly recommended!”
“I couldn't have been blessed with a better sitter. Diana and her family totally exceeding my expectations with taking care of my Apollo. I received updates and photos multiple times a day, that showed the love he was getting, the amazing care he was getting, and he was happy. This was the 1st time using Rover and I was extremely nervous, but Diana and her family took away all my worry. She and her family celebrated Apollo's 3rd birthday with him. We were greeted with balloons. How awesome was that! Diana's love has for dogs shows immensely as well as her good character, and I would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. Thank you Diana, I appreciate you and your family. Until we meet again...”
“Colleen and her family took wonderful care of my dog. She is a very trustworthy and conscientious dog mom. I appreciate that her home has a fenced yard. She also was able to administer daily high drops to my senior dog. I received updates and photos. Thank you Colleen and family!”
“Liya & her family provide exceptional service to my dog. Very attentive, caring and always goes above and beyond. She has been flexible with time, changed plans etc. As someone who is very particular, I feel at peace leaving Chloe in her care. Highly recommended!”
“Kyle was such a wonderful sitter for my pup over the long weekend! Ringo was well taken care of, socializing with his dogs, and I received daily updates and pictures. It was a wonderful, calm environment.”
“Kelly and her husband were WONDERFUL with our mini-doodle, Daisy, while we were away! We received many photos and videos to show the variety of activities Daisy was enjoying. When we had a flight delay, Kelly was so flexible and helpful! We can tell Daisy developed a loving bond with Kelly and John. We will definitely be booking with Kelly again knowing Daisy is in excellent care with her and her husband!”
“Marcel came back to me well loved and cared for by Shanilka and her family! Marcel was very relaxed at returning home. Thank you for the pictures that you sent. Great thanks for your flexibility on our drop off and pick up time when our plane was late! I especially loved that Marcel slept with your mom and ignored the bed. He had a wonderful team to care for him. I will definitely use your services again. Thanks again❤️🙏🤗”
“Khadija came thru last minute and was able to take care of our little guy. He enjoyed his time there and even played with her cat! She’s very reliable and sent us pictures. Would book her again!”
“I don’t think we could have asked for a better person than Dana to give our 12 year old dog Maggie so much love, attention, exercise, and new experiences for the 5 days she (and Patrick) had her! She got to eat food out of puzzle dishes and got lots of frozen treats including yogurt which she loved! Lots of photos and updates every day were truly wonderful to see. Maggie didn’t beg for food during their meals, nor did she whine to get something like she does at home. Sorry Dana she whined some after we got home but not too bad. A million thanks to Dana and Patrick for being such great caregivers.”
“We’re so thankful we found Jeff. Our first time using Rover and he was just so communicative throughout the process and from beginning to end made us feel comfortable and that our pup was safe. We received daily pictures and updates and we just know Bentley had the best time. Will be utilizing Jeff again in the future with zero hesitation.”
“Azucena was amazing! She was so patient and empathetic with our Brodie as he got adjusted to new surroundings and bigger dogs! She provided lots of updates and pictures. Would 1000% recommend!!”
“Andrew and Adva were fantastic with my older pup-they helped her manage her mobility issues, took her for lots of slow, easy walks, and kept her comfortable with constant company. They sent daily updates and photos too. Andrew and Adva put me at ease right away; they are kind, calm, and flexible. I didn't feel apprehensive about leaving my senior dog for five days. I will absolutely request them again!”
“Romy and her family were so caring and welcomed our cat so warmly in their home. She had great communication from the very start and wanted to know as much as possible to make sure our cat would be happy and healthy during her stay. She sent updates and photos everyday, and our cat seemed right at home and getting lots of attention, just as she likes. We would love to have our cat stay with Romy again.”
“Our dog Maggie had the BEST time in Cassidy’s comfy home! We got frequent photos and videos showing how much love and attention she got — and so much fun! I would highly recommend Cassidy!!”
“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.”
“Stephanie and her family made Aladdin feel at home. She communicated, sent photos and videos, and loved on my dog as if it were her own. When I picked up Aladdin he didn’t want to leave. Will book again.”

Azucena took great care of our 7 month-old puppy, Baelor, while we were out of town for a week. She sent us daily updates with pictures, which really helped us feel assured that he was coping well with his first overnight stay away from home. She also dropped in and checked on our senior cat and made sure to let us know after every visit how she was doing. We will definitely be booking with Azucena again!
Gabby was such a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of our pup and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. Our fur daughter came home happy, relaxed, and well-rested, which says everything! It was clear she was in great hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Danielle has been our go-to for Oakley for years now. Everytime we leave Oakley with her and Ernie he has the absolute best time! Danielle sends a tons of photos and gives clear updates on Oakley's adventures while we are away. Whenever possible we will continue to ask her to watch our pup!
My dogs were well cared for, and Natalia and Edward were very accommodating and flexible for meet & greet, scheduling drop off, and pickup. I appreciated the update photos of the dogs enjoying their company and cozying up on the sofa with their own pup as well. Natalia and Edward seem to enjoy what they do and caring for others’ pets, and I would definitely book with them again. Thanks guys!
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!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Kemp Mill can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Kemp Mill 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 Kemp Mill.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kemp Mill. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Kemp Mill 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
