About: 🐾Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been much more than a responsibility…it’s a lifelong passion! With over 30 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, communication, and individual needs. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to understand dogs beyond their behavior to recognize what they may be communicating. I pay close attention to their body language, recognize subtle signs of stress or discomfort, and adapt my approach to help each dog feel understood and secure. I have extensive experience handling dogs with different personalities, from energetic and playful companions to shy, sensitive, or more reserved dogs. I understand that building trust requires patience, consistency, and respect for each dog’s individual temperament. I also understand that puppies, adult dogs, and seniors have very different physical and emotional needs. I believe in providing thoughtful, individualized care appropriate to each stage of life. Above all, I genuinely love what I do. Every dog deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and respect, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s beloved companion very seriously.🐾 ✂️ Professional Grooming Available! I also offer grooming services upon request for an additional fee. Pricing is customized based on your dog’s breed, size, coat condition, and individual grooming needs. 🐾I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day and provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily routine, and I enjoy making sure every guest feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, outdoor breaks, exercise, playtime, and relaxation according to each dog’s individual needs.🐾 🐾Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I provide a clean, peaceful, and carefully managed home environment where every guest receives personalized attention and care. My boarding guests have their own designated areas, completely separate from my personal dogs. This allows me to maintain a safe, structured environment while respecting each dog’s individual needs and personal space. I provide comfortable dog beds and cozy blankets so every guest has a welcoming space to rest and relax. My home features a fully fenced yard where guests can enjoy supervised outdoor activities, exercise, and bathroom breaks. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or signs of discomfort to ensure every guest receives the care they need. I believe that maintaining familiar routines, providing a calm environment, and respecting each dog’s individual personality are essential to helping them feel secure and comfortable while away from home.🐾
“Boarding with Ellen was outstanding. We had a family emergency that made taking our large dog with us impossible. He’s five-years old and had never been away from home - I am sure it was challenging for him. While not aggressive or disobedient, at about 120lbs he can be intimidating. Ellen was clearly very comfortable with him during our meet and greet visit and was very confident he’d be fine with her. He absolute was! She made him very at home on her beautiful farmette with her pack of critters. They all looked clean and loved. I noted her calmness with the dogs and confidence in their interaction under her watchful eye. The dogs have plenty of space to run and socialize. She made sure we gave her his “regular” food and medications, and verified other foods he would be allowed to have. She sent regular updates and photos during his stay. Each action shot was accompanied by a thoughtful narrative of the photo. We really enjoyed pictures of his quiet time, napping with the other dogs in her home was comforting. They all looked content. We needed an extra day of boarding because of the unpredictability of our travel and Ellen made it so easy. Our dog made new friends and we did too.”
“We can’t say enough amazing things about Renee, she was truly our angel during a very stressful moment while we were on vacation in Florida. The place where our dog was staying unexpectedly call us and rudely demanded that we pick up our dog immediately. Being out there of state with no one nearby to help, we were completely panicked and heartbroken. My husband remember about Rover and he find Renee, she responded very quickly asking the situation and accept our booking. Without hesitation, she stepped in and went out of her way to pick up our dog for us. She was incredibly sweet, caring, and compassionate, exactly what we needed in that moment. She treated our puppy with so much love and care, like he was her own, and kept us updated and send us pictures of him smiling and acting like he is at home. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and will never forget what she did for us. Thank you, dear Renee, you are truly one of a kind!❤️🐾”
“We had a wonderful experience! Pluto was very well taken care of, and it was clear that he received lots of love, attention, and affection throughout his stay. He had an amazing time playing with Otis and enjoying all of his toys. It makes us so happy to know he was comfortable, entertained, and treated like part of the family. We truly appreciate the care, kindness, and attention given to him. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pet. Thank you so much!”
“Stark always has fun when he stays with Priscila. It was his second time, and he’s comfortable with her. She sends updates and makes me feel at ease when we’re away! Thank you for watching Stark! Will definitely be back again.”
“Fantastic dog sitter! They agreed to help out last minute, which was such a lifesaver, and communication was excellent from start to finish. I always felt updated and reassured throughout the stay, and it was clear my dog was in great hands. Reliable, responsive, and caring. I would absolutely book with them again!”
“My dog Sprinkie had a great stay with Shiv and his family. Shiv was very easy to set up the stay with him and was quick to respond to any communication. I found having him as a caretaker for my dog a very good thing. I would definitely use him again !”
“Hannah took great care of my dog, Sheru, and kept me updated while I was traveling. She was responsive and flexible with drop-off and pickup arrangements. She also noticed signs of a possible UTI and thoughtfully suggested checking with a vet. I really appreciated her care and concern for Sheru. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Julia (and Daniel) were the greatest hosts for Jack and Arnie, my 2 bulldogs. The pups demand a lot of attention and affection, and they got it! I can’t say enough great things about their attention to detail and care requirements. And the photos and updates helped me get through my work trip blues. Thank you!!!!”
“Highly recommend! Megan and her family cared for Winston and Bodhi as a member of her family. Lots of walks, playtime, and TLC. Great communication with pics showing our happy dogs enjoying their 6 day stay.”
“Jill was great with my dog Waffles! We loved getting the updates and pictures of them hanging out and going on walks and Waffles playing with her dog. He was well taken care of and a happy puppy when we picked him up, we would definitely book with her again!”
“Iesha and her family were great! She took Brody on such a short notice. I appreciate the meet and greet with her dog Luca before making my decision. I was able to enjoy my time away! Thank you so much!”
“Buddy was in good hands and slept solidly after his two days of visiting. We will use Darshini and Joseph again in the near future. Thank you for taking care of our Buddy.”
“Cameron did an amazing job with Zeke! I will absolutely be using him again. He was responsive, sent photos, kept me updated. I could not have asked for a better Rover. A plus is that Zeke was totally wiped after spending a few days at Cameron's place. Cameron has a huge backyard which Zeke took full advantage of! Thanks again, Cameron.”
“Emily did such a great job watching our 1 year old puppy. She let us have him meet her the week before and she even picked him from our place to start his stay. Emily sent us photos and videos every day and our puppy really looked like he had the best time. Thank you, Emily!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Linganore-Bartonsville
After a few disappointing experiences on Rover, I was understandably nervous about finding care for my two larger dogs during a three-week (20-day) trip. Her profile looked promising, but I was completely unprepared for just how exceptional the level of care would be. From the moment I met her and her husband, I felt an immediate sense of peace and trust. She was very attentive. My dogs took to them and their home right away. She gave them all the love and attention they receive at home—and possibly even more. She even let my pup snuggle in bed with her. It was clear that she loved and cared for them as if they were family. Throughout my trip, I received frequent pictures and videos of my dogs enjoying what was clearly a vacation of their own, complete with plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. I received updates frequently and any questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly. When I picked them up, they were calm, happy, and completely content. As a busy professional who hopes to travel more, I cannot adequately express what it means to have found someone I trust—literally without a second thought—to care for my fur babies. A truly 100/10 experience. I could not recommend her more highly.
We found Soumen at the last minute when we needed someone to care for Lilo over the weekend. He took excellent care of her and kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Lilo looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with Soumen again. Highly recommend!
Glenn is amazing! He took wonderful care of Ovi and made the entire experience stress-free. He is friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the pets he watches. He is always responsive to messages, provides updates, and is ready to help whenever needed. Glenn creates a true home-away-from-home environment, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Ovi in his care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

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 Linganore-Bartonsville 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 Linganore-Bartonsville 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 Linganore-Bartonsville.

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.

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.
