We highly recommend using them for your boarding needs. They are super engaging sending pictures and videos. We consider them Max’s 2nd family.😊”

“Marta has become our go-to day care provider and boarder, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have found her. Our dog, Miss Charlie, has stayed with Marta approximately five times now, including the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Each time, Charlie has had a fantastic experience. This last time included a wonderfully special Thanksgiving meal featuring turkey and sweet potatoes! As an overly protective dog mom, finding someone who cares for your pup as much as you do can be challenging. However, I can confidently say that Marta loves our dog just as much as we do. We have complete trust in her, and her professional-quality pictures not only keep us informed but also make us miss our pup even more—they are so cute! If you're in search of an exceptional sitter for your pup, look no further. Marta is, without a doubt, the best choice. We highly recommend her!”

“Diego and Natalia are excellent sitters. They took such good care of our puppy while we were gone for a week, which was not an easy task since he’s so little and needs lots of attention. We were nervous to leave him for the first time but they instantly made us feel better from the first meet and greet. They sent continuous updates, photos and videos and he got lots of exercise in their back yard. We will definitely have them watch our pup again! We are so happy to have found them.”

“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 🫶🏾.”

He came home missing his new friends and tired enough to sleep for days. We look forward to next time!”

I’m so blessed to have found Sabrina 🙏🏼 My dog can be skittish around new people and other dogs, but she took to Sabrina right away, which says everything. Sabrina is the sweetest person, and you can tell by the way she interacts with dogs that she really knows them and truly loves them. I’m very particular about who watches my pup, and Sabrina is the only person in the area I trust with her. It means so much to know my dog is in such good hands. I can’t recommend her enough!

I recently went on vacation and left my Samoyed in Robert's care. As any Samoyed owner knows, these beautiful dogs come with a lot of fur that requires special attention and regular grooming maintenance. Robert did an excellent job caring for my dog during my time away. He was attentive to the specific needs that come with this breed, particularly the grooming requirements. My dog was happy, healthy, and well-cared for when I returned. I would definitely recommend Robert to other dog owners, especially those with high-maintenance breeds. He's reliable, caring, and clearly understands what it takes to properly care for dogs with special needs.

Ilia is an outstanding sitter! She came over and bonded with Tofu prior to our travels. We were also fortunate that he got along well with her two dogs. She provided me with daily updates with pictures. Tofu made himself at home with Ilia and settled in pretty well by the first night. I strongly recommend Ilia to sit your fur baby. She's caring, attentive, communicative, and overall compassionate. I was comforted to know that my dog was in the greatest care in my absence. Thank you, Ilia!

Angela communicated excellently with me from our first interaction after I requested the booking. From setting up our meet and greet, dropping off and picking up my boy, and throught the period he was in her care, she was very engaged. While I was away, she was concerned when my dog was not as friendly (as he was initially) and she reached out to ask how she could improve his mood; which showed how vested she was in his wellbeing. It was a joy reading about, as well as seeing the videos and pictures of her family getting along with my dog, and I will surely use her service in the future. Thank you for taking good care of my boy, Angela!

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 Lake Arbor 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 Lake Arbor.

<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 Lake Arbor 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.
