“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 couldnt have asked for a better sitter than Eric! He took wonderful care of my dog on short notice, sent multiple adorable photo updates, and followed all feeding and walking instructions to the letter. My puppy came home happy and relaxed. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Masha is incredible!! She was extremely sweet and loving with my cavapoo. She is also very communicative. We got great pictures each day while away on vacation. I highly recommend her!”
“I had a wonderful experience boarding my dog, Hazel, with Bryn. At the meet and greet, Hazel obviously liked Bryn (which is not always the case when meeting new people) so I knew we were off to a great start. Bryn has a calm personality and definitely is knowledgeable about dogs. She has a lovely home and a great fenced in backyard where the dogs can play. Her dog, Kepler, is very sweet. Bryn sent pictures and updates during Hazel's stay and reported that she did very well. She followed my instructions as far as giving Hazel her medications. I'd happily recommend Bryn to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
“We are so thankful that Mooch was taken care of with so much love and attention. We also appreciated the updates and video compilations that were shared of him having fun in the yard and with the other pups. :)”
“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...”
“Jiao kept in close communication about our dog. She sent several pictures and videos per day. My dog acted happy and playful in her house. She came recommended by a friend and I would definitely book with her again.”
“This was my second time booking with Kelly, and I couldn't have been happier. Kelly and her husband, John, are such kind and dedicated dog lovers, and I really appreciated how amazing they were with my shy pup. Also, my pup unfortunately had to go to the ER, and Kelly could not have been more professional and accommodating. She really went above and beyond making sure that my pup was okay, and it was thanks to her care and keen observation that my pup received the care and workup that he needed. I'm so grateful to Kelly!”
“We have a 2 year old St Bernard (Sasha) and a 5 year old mid sized mixed dog (Nutmeg). A long time family friend use to watch our babies when we'd travel but he aged out if being able to handle the large dogs. So when we were heading out for an adventure in remote and isolated Southern Argentina, I was quite concerned about dog care. Wanted something more like home than a kennel. In house care at our place or something equally hospitable was the goal. I searched quite extensively and actually signed up a woman to watch the dogs at our house, but she was 61 and I did not have a warm feeling about her being able to handle our big girl who can become quite excited with squirrels, deer abd other dogs, so I went back to the search. I came across Josh and Andres who looked good on paper so we went for a visit. They were obviously nice and caring folks who could handle whatever came their way. I felt very good about them caring for our girls. And I/we were not disappointed. We received daily correspondence with photos that helped ensure our peace of mind. And returned home to find happy and healthy pups. These are our go-to guys for dog care for our future needs.”
“Churro stayed with Viona and John for a week and had the best time. They have a big backyard where he got to run around and play, became best buddies with their Golden Retriever, Maxie, and also had so much fun with their kids. What we really appreciated was how comfortable they made us feel while we were away. They clearly know dogs and have a lot of experience, and they kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. Churro got lots of walks and attention. Honestly, he was spoiled in the best way. We could tell he was happy and well cared for the whole time. We’d definitely book with Viona and John again!”
“Such a phenomenal sitter-- she genuinely loves animals and it comes through in her interactions with pets. Sent plenty of pictures throughout my trip and kept me regularly updated. Truly felt like she cared for my cat as if she were my own and that's such a rare trait in a cat sitter.”
“Cindy was absolutely amazing with our dogs! From the moment we met her, we felt like our pups were in good hands. She sent us lots of pictures and updates which we loved! It was clear they were not only well cared for, but also happy and loved. Knowing they were safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention made such a difference for us. We’re so grateful we found Cindy and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Joseph and his wife took amazing care of Kashmere over night. They sent updates through out the entire day/ night with pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing ok. Also kept him on schedule for us so there were no issues for us when we got him back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Yessica and her husband are kind and thoughtful dog sitters who clearly care about the dogs they watch and providing the very best care! They handled our 7 month old pup with grace and embraced his rambunctious puppyness. Would highly recommend!”
“Maria and her husband were great with my pup while I was away! She was very attentive and asked lots of questions to make sure that she understood all of Noki’s needs and could keep him happy and comfortable during his stay. She was also flexible in working with me on the best times for drop off. Maria is very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos as well so that I could see he was doing well. I would be happy to have Noki stay with Maria again in the future!”
“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Layhill
A HUGE thank you to Kelly and John for taking such great care of our fur baby, Daisy, during our week away! I received frequent updates, photos, and videos during Daisy's stay with them. The attention and affection Daisy received from Kelly and John helped Daisy; especially since she can become anxious when apart from me. I was so happy to see Daisy relaxing next to their sweet dog, Vinnie, in many of the photos! You are always fabulous with our pup girl! Thanks so much for your expert care!
Fiorela took care of our two large, energetic labrador retrievers for a long weekend. She doted on them and kept them plenty busy, with photos and updates every day. She even sent them home with some yummy homemade treats. We would definitely be happy to have her care for our pups again!
Veronica was an amazing sitter! She provided daily updates and awesome pictures of Thor. I can tell by the pictures he was having the time of his life exploring her neighborhood. I feel so lucky that Thor was in the best care and had so much fun with her. I couldn’t thank her enough!
This was Snickers' second stay with Calvin & Vanessa and once again, they took great care of him! We were given multiple updates on how Snickers was doing and they even sent us photos to show us that Snickers was having a good time boarding at their home. We would highly recommend Calvin & Vanessa to anyone looking to board their fur baby!
Samantha was amazing! She took care of Rio so well and gave me updates and photos so i knew everything was going great. Rio is a bit more on the shy/cautious side but he got along so well with Chief and her family so highly recommended trusting Samantha with your dogs care!

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 Layhill 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 Layhill.
<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 Layhill 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.
