“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!!”
“Becca was wonderful. We just adopted our dog 2 months prior to our trip and this was our first time leaving her with anyone. We were really nervous, but Becca's natural love for dogs put us right at ease; she was so kind and patient with our dog. She sent us daily updates and pictures - my daughter loved it! Knowing that our dog was so well cared for, really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation!”
“Benjamin is an excellent dog sitter! We could really tell he cared about our dog Chewy. He has a lovely home in a nice quiet neighborhood with plenty of outdoors space for our dogs. Chewy looked really happy during his stay and didn’t give us any attitude after his pickup.”
“The absolute best family for your doggy boarding. Vicky loved this family to the fullest and they were so prompt with their updates and being very accommodative as well. Highly recommend. Vicky will be seeing them again soon ♥️”
“Our 8 1/2 year old dog just stayed with Candice. He is very attached to me and does not like to get away from my side! Candice took great care of him and he did very well in her care. Candice sent frequent photos - which reassured me how well he was doing. Highly recommend!!”
“Dana’s house was a perfect spot for our dog! She has a great fenced in yard and sent multiple photo updates reassuring us that our doggo was having a great time. Her location was a perfect stop on our way to the beach. Would definitely recommend!!!”
“We are so glad we found a reliable, safe, and comfortable environment and family to leave our fur babies while we are away. They are the best. My dogs seem very happy when they are there and being well cared for. Thank you so much for taking care of our babies.”
About: Reliable, Attentive Care — I Treat Your Pets Like Family Hi, I’m Stacey. I’m new to Rover, but not new to caring deeply and responsibly for dogs. I recently lost my own dog after many years, and that experience reinforced how important patience, comfort, and dependable care truly are. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with a pet you love. I follow routines closely, take instructions seriously, and pay attention to the small details that help pets feel safe and secure. I’m especially patient with senior dogs, anxious pets, or dogs who need a calm, steady presence. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is in good hands. Schedule availability: Currently, my availability is during weekday (elementary) school hours (8am - 2pm), ensuring dedicated attention for each visit giving focus and unrushed care. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow each pet’s routine and instructions closely. I ensure leashes, doors, and gates are secure, monitor behavior and comfort, and give calm, attentive care. I respect my clients’ homes and provide clear updates and photos after every visit.
“Ashley was an excellent communicator who provided timely updates and proactive questions about my Yorkiepoo, Luna. Luna thoroughly enjoyed her quality time with Ashley’s family and dogs for a one night. I highly recommend using her services in the future.”
“Michelle was kind and caring, and our Minnie clearly loved her. She was communicative, which was helpful, and Minnie adjusted quickly to the home and routine. Michelle sent many pictures, and we could see that Minnie was super happy in her care.”
“Justin was easy to communicate with and accommodated my particular pick-up and drop-off needs. He shared photos of Peyton getting acclimated and kept me updated when necessary. I would highly recommend Justin (and Diesel!) for an overnight stay or playdate.”
“Sari was amazing. My female Chow, Emma, is typically very shy around people. Sari was able to get her to warm up in no time. And both Horatio and Emma loved having their "TV" (watching the chickens and ducks!). They came home happy and even better groomed than when I dropped them off. Hoping that Sari will have the chows over again soon. They love their time at "camp."”
“Megan was really the best, she and her family really took good care and treat Asher as like their own. She went extra mile on sending update, picture and videos everyday. Definitely will choose her again to take care of my dog because we really feel at ease that our dog is in really good and safe place. Can’t wait for us and Asher to see you again. Thank you for the bottom of our hearts. Your really pawsome! 🥰”
“Kelly and George were fabulous! I have two large labs that are A LOT. They handed them like pros. We did a meet and greet where I felt my dogs were very welcomed. They sent many check in pictures and updates so I was truly able to relax on my vacation that my fur babies were in trusted hands. When I picked up my dogs they were SUPER happy. I honestly think they wanted to stay longer hahaha. It was a wonderful experience for me and my dogs. Will definitely be using Kelly and George again in the future.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Shore
This was the first time my dog was left with someone he didn’t know. With him being blind, it’s probably very stressful for him. Becca took the time to be with him and he was comfortable. She sent me pics and updates and I think he had a very good experience. I will definitely use her again!!
FANTASTIC!!! We received lots of updates on Ruby's activities, how she was settling into her new space and interacting with everyone. I'm an information Mom so receiving the detailed information Debra shared definitely eased my anxiety of leaving her for a long weekend. Ruby made herself right at home and was happy at pick up. Thankful to have found such a loving and positive soul to watch over our fur baby.
I was nervous about leaving my new pup, Alfie, but from the moment I met her, I knew he was in wonderful hands. She was absolutely amazing and cared for him as if he were one of her own. She is such a sweet, genuine, and caring person, and you can truly see those qualities in the way she loves and cares for dogs. She genuinely loves them, and it shows! You can see how happy, pampered, and well cared for her own dog, Halo, is. Alfie and Halo became besties, and it honestly felt like Alfie went on a little vacation of his own! 🐾❤️ I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust her with Alfie again. Highly recommend!!!!
Justine did an amazing job boarding my golden retriever, Gibson, for 4 nights. Communication was great, drop-off and pickup were easy, and Gibson came home happy and relaxed. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I had zero concerns while I was away, and I’d absolutely book with her again. 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 Lake Shore 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 Shore.
<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 Shore 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.
