Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”

“Mary watched my two dogs a total of four times for three days at a time, and I waited till the last visit to write a review. Mary is absolutely awesome. My youngest can be a handful at times, but Mary is extremely patient, caring, and truly just loves dogs. I received a message from Mary on the second visit that my dog threw up and was not feeling good. She asks me if she can boil chicken breast and rice for him to have something easier on the stomach. This just made me feel good about leaving them in her care and that she had his best interest. She truly wants the best for them. She is the first person my dog has ever ran up to invitingly and was not timid of. I will definitely be going back to Mary if I’m in need of a good dog sitter.”

“When I go away for travel, I always know that I am leaving my dog Bruno in great hands. This last visit was my longest stay with Luis and Stephanie, a total of 12 days. They offered a very comfortable environment for Bruno that minimized stress and anxiety for the long stay. They always communicate well with pictures and regular updates. Upon return, Bruno always comes back more relaxed and content which was the same for this visit. I would highly recommend their services to other pet owners. Thanks again for always caring for Bruno with such love and care 🫶🏾.”

I needed someone to watch my 2 dogs last minute and Schuyler was quick to respond. She kept me up to date with pictures and messages letting me know how they were doing throughout my trip. She was also flexible with pick up and drop off time. Would definitely use her again! It was nice knowing my dogs were well cared for while I was away.

Winnie was treated like the cat of the week, and quite possibly the cat of the year. While we were away, Winnie experienced the kind of cat care that can only be described as cat-tastic. When she returned home from the Cat Carlton, she looked wonderfully chill, pampered, and now expects cat service on demand. Winnie was not merely looked after, she was adored, spoiled, and coddled in every way. We suspect she may have been a bit cat-atonic from all the comfort and attention, but in the best possible way - no cat-astrophes at all! If you want your cat to be treated like the absolute royalty they are, this is the cat sitter for you.

I had a great experience with Christa. Her and family were very attentive to my pet’s needs. She kept me up to date with messages and pictures. My pet at times is a nervous gal, but she had a fantastic time during her stay.

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 Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

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. 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.
