“Sharon took great care of our dog! The first thing our dog did at dropoff was poop on against Sharon's rug (yikes!), but she was kind and understanding. She also sent lots of pictures and updates.”
“Bella’s boarding experience with Mindy was great. I received videos / updates almost daily. Bella was very well taken care of. She enjoyed playing with the other dog, roaming around their big back yard, and going on walks. We will definitely board with Mindy again.”
“Sophia made me and my dog feel super comfortable watching him for the first time. We had a meet and greet, so I could meet her before watching my dog for the first time. Sophia is extremely responsive, truly cares about dogs and kept us updated throughout the week with pictures of my dog while he is was there for the week. I think my dog missed playing with the other dogs when it was time to come home. I highly recommend Sophia and will use her again to watch our dog.”
“You can tell that Nithya has a deep love and care for all dogs. We felt incredibly welcomed by her and comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Koda and Snowy are so friendly and well-trained too!”
“Yuhui has been very communicative and attentative. She took care of my dog for several days and frequently provided updates. Everything has been punctual. Absolutely recommend her to others.”
“Gracie, our little Boston Terrier, had an amazing, week long stay with Kris and Gail. They both work from home, so Gracie had unlimited attention, playtime, and snuggles. Kris took her on multiple walks around the neighborhood during the day, and they both took her to nearby lakes and parks for a good 4 mile walk each evening. We HIGHLY recommend The Spare Hoomans, Gail and Kris! We felt very comfortable leaving Gracie in their care. They sent multiple photos and videos daily, as well as texts letting us know how she was doing. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
“Evvery took such wonderful care of our furry spoiled boy, BooBoo! ❤️ From the moment we left, I knew he was in loving and capable hands. She kept us updated, gave him so much attention, and treated him like her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything about the care he received. Thank you, Evvery, for your kindness, patience, and excellent care. We truly appreciate you and will definitely trust you with BooBoo again. Highly recommend!”
“When my dog's anxiety became too overwhelming for the vet's boarding facility, I was in a last-minute panic trying to find someone to care for him. Thankfully, Christa stepped in without hesitation. She showed my boy so much love, patience, and genuine care, making sure he felt safe and comfortable during a stressful time. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave me incredible peace of mind. I couldn't be more grateful for their kindness, flexibility, and compassion. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly treat their pet like family! Thank you!”
“Another wonderful week at Samantha’s house! Momo has a great time and we truly appreciate feeling like he’s with family. They celebrated his 3rd birthday and sent me party photos :D I can rest easy when he’s with you guys and that means the world to me!!!!”
“Carrie was awesome! It was our first time using Rover and Carrie and her family made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog there for the weekend. Her dog was also a great buddy for ours to hang out with. I would highly recommend her.”
“My two French bulldogs made themselves right at home with Piero and his family. They treated my doggos with great care and attention. It was also a huge plus that someone was always home with my girls. Piero was great with sending pictures and keeping me updated. It was super easy and I will be using him again to watch my dogs. 100 percent recommend - a wonderful sitter!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“What’ a wonderful experience. Oreo had a great time and was treated like a prince. Not sure he wanted to come home!! :) really appreciated all the communication and care. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“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!”
“Dianne and Jake were awesome! Sometimes our pup can get a little anxious while we're away, but they made her feel right at home. The updates and photos they provided us also put us at ease while we were away. We would definitely recommend them for your next Rover!”
“Sriju was personable and made me and most importantly, my dog feel comfortable. I could tell he enjoyed being with her. Sriju was amenable to my instructions and gave my dog medicine without concerns. She sent me pictures daily and was approachable and friendly. A friend had recommended her and Sriju was fantastic. She even let my dog sleep with her; I think he behaved better than me. I highly recommend Sriju and thank her for making us feel at peace so we could enjoy our vacation!”
“Lauren was wonderful with Yoshi and Bella. Who are two very different dogs with very different temperaments. She has a comfortable and loving home with plenty of space for play. We will be back.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Laytonsville
First time using Rover and was a little nervous but Ashley treated Violet (my pup) like her own. Her and her family kept her entertained and sent me updates through her stay. Couldn’t be more satisfied with trusting Ashley with Violet. My pup was so worn out from the playtime she slept the entire car ride home. Definitely will be booking for her next stay. Thank you Ashley!
Shelley was amazing, and my dog Marley had a great time!! She sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated, and she was so accommodating with his health issues. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! (:

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 Laytonsville 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 Laytonsville.
<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 Laytonsville 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.
