“Poh was wonderful with our dog! You can tell she really knows what she's doing, which put us at ease right away. Her setup is adorable, and her own dogs are such gentle sweethearts. They got along great with Scooby and she truly made him part of the family. She sent photo updates daily so we always knew he was doing well. After seven days of boarding we picked up a very happy dog. We'd absolutely book with her again!”
“Sophia was a great dog sitter for our VERY hyper and fully of energy puppy. She sent photos and messages everyday. Our puppy had a great time with Sophia and her family. I highly recommend her services!”
“Piero and his family did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. They were willing to accommodate my dogs’ feeding and potty habits, but I also trusted them to do what would work best and what fit with the household’s vibe while my dogs were their guests. Communication was great, and they sent photos and videos of the dogs’ stay. Would definitely use Piero for boarding or grooming again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Vanessa! Luna was so well cared for during her stay. I really appreciated the regular photo and video updates—they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When Luna wasn’t eating, she reached out right away to let me know and came up with a thoughtful solution that worked. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Luna’s well-being. She even told me Luna was one of the easiest dogs she’s watched, which was great to hear! I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative dog sitter.”
“Carrie and John were great! They loved on our doodle and he felt right at home! Our pup got along great with Carrie and John’s doodle, Fozzie! Highly recommend using this awesome caring family!”
“I’m so glad I found Evvery. She responded my request very quick and professionally. Not just that she knows how to take care of dogs. Each walking and feeding she sent me the pictures and video clips. I will highly recommend! Thank you so much Evvery!”
“Apollo had a lovely time staying with Sriju! She has such a peaceful, calm spirit and a cozy home. Apollo felt comfortable right away. Sriju’s house is located on a corner with a large yard next to it and there is a playground and dog park close by. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“Our fur-baby Charley looked like he enjoyed his stay with Terry and Shep. Because they provided daily updates, pictures, and videos we could see he was happy and content. I would highly recommend Terry and Shep to anyone looking for a pet sitter. They have a very nice house and yard so we felt very comfortable leaving Charley there. We can not thank them enough for taking such excellent care of Charley and reducing our anxiety due to leaving him with "strangers". We will definitely be reaching out to them again when we need a pet sitter.”
“Our dog loved them so much. We were worried how he will stay overnight for the first time without us. He slept well and ate timely. He was being a good boy with Gail & Kris 😊”
“Eric was amazing! He took great care of Dallas and sent pictures throughout to keep me updated. Has amazing attention to detail and treated Dallas as if he were his own. 100% recommend!”
“John and Viona took great care of Chase. Gave him his meds and let him take it easy with their senior dog. We got photos and videos of our dog during our trip. And communication was a breeze. Would gladly recommend them.”
“Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.”
“Great experience with Christa, we were able to drop off Mochi and pick her up without any worries. She also gave us progress pics and updates on how Mochi was doing. Christa also was very kind about us picking her up at night even though we were running behind.”
“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!!!!”
“Huan took excellent care of my dog for the time he was with her. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. My dog came back happy and relaxed—he clearly got lots of attention, great walks, and plenty of belly rubs. She’s kind, personable, and truly attentive. I highly recommend her for boarding and sitting.”
“Amanda is an amazing sitter she is extremely responsive and caring. We received daily picture updates and we can see how much Canela loves being with Amanda. She was very flexible with pick up and drop off times once our flight got rescheduled which was very helpful. We are so grateful to have found Amanda and Canela will always stay with her when we are out of town.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Laytonsville
Sharon was our first dog sitter on Rover and we are so glad that we found her. She made us so comfortable with all of her communication, pictures and updates. We felt that our dog was in great hands and that she was loved and happy in our absence. We are looking forward to using Sharon again when we travel.
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! (:
We had such a wonderful experience with Oyin Damola! From our very first communication, she was incredibly responsive, professional, and kind. She took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she was so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating that I immediately felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Our dog had an amazing stay and was clearly well cared for and loved. Oyin was attentive, caring, and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely continue using Oyin in the future. She was absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!
Kimberly did a wonderful job caring for our cocker spaniel for a full week of boarding. She sent us regular photos and videos which we really appreciated. During drop off Kimberly was very friendly and it was immediately clear how much she enjoys pets. She was very attentive towards our questions and communication was very easy and she was responsive every step of the way. I would definitely book again with Kimberly in the future.
Vanessa was extremely attentive and loving with our puppy Hercules. I would highly recommend her for boarding services. She contacted me often to keep us updated on him and we were so happy with the care he received. We will definitely utilize her services again in the future.

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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Laytonsville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laytonsville. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
