“Liz and Jeffrey took very good care of our dog while we were gone for 10 days. We received daily updates with pictures and our dog loved to play and hang out with their dogs. We will for sure be back for future dog sitting and maybe also some day care. Thanks a lot Liz and Jeffrey for taking good care of Mayla!”
“Alex was very responsive and the dogs seemed to love staying at his house, running in the yard, and playing with Alex's dog Reese. He also sent a lot of pics which was really appreciated! Alex--thanks again for taking care of the twins!”
“Kathryn was awesome! She took such good care of our dog, Bear. She sent pictures and it reassured us while we were away! Drop off and pick up was convenient and easy. Bear felt right at home quickly because of Kathryn’s ease and attention. I would definitely book Kathryn to watch our dog again!”
“My dog was well taken care of and Shaun really tried to understand my dog. My dog was allowed to be the dog he is. My dog has developed some social skills with the visit. Shaun really cared about my dog.”
“Jasmine was great she took amazing care of our puppy Bella! Would definitely recommend her. She sent photos and kept us up to date on how Bella was doing constantly. Bella usually shy but she warmed right up to Jasmine when we dropped her off.”
“I was very pleased with my dogs stay with Felice. The environment was very warm and inviting. My dogs seemed to have a wonderful time. We plan to return soon.”
“Amanda was amazing!! We had to book last minute as our initial plans fell through. I was really worried because they can be high maintenance and we had only adopted our one dog a few months ago. She sent us numerous updates showing that they were being loved and cared for, easing my worries. She went above and beyond, even having a fun bubble session with them. If we were to need someone in the area again we would certainly go to Amanda!”
“We could not have asked for better sitters than Brittanie, Ryan and their family! They cared for Sarge like he has been a part of their family for years. We received lots of photos of Sarge while we were away and it was obvious that he was having a great time! We will certainly be reaching using Brittanie and Ryan again to care for Sarge while we are away!”
“Tanya was great! She took excellent care of Hemi and Benzo for an extended weekend. Tanya sent us regular videos/pictures, kept us updated, responded to us promptly and followed all instructions perfectly. Our dogs got plenty of exercise outside during the day and lots of playtime at the dog park too. We really appreciated the reliable and caring service!”
“Nikki seemed very knowledgeable sweetheart how to take care of our dog's anxiousness and energy from the get go. It helped a lot that she had a fully fenced yard and no pets of her own when we booked her. From meet and greet to pick up, she made it easy for everyone. We specially appreciated her updates and our dog truly enjoyed staying at her place. We also appreciated the tips and other feedback she gave us, as we are first time pet owners and our dog has some unique needs. Definitely will use her services again.”
“Gigi seemed at home, comfortable and at ease. I received pics and videos daily. Shantia was very pleasant, accommodating and flexible; she came through for us in a last minute crisis. Thanks Shantia!!!”
“Virginia and her family are lovely. She took such great care of my Macks. It feels so good to get away and know that my girl is also getting a vacation. She had so much fun with Virginia's dogs and her family. I will be excited to book my next trip knowing I can leave my girl in such good hands.”
“Remunalila was absolutely amazing with our dog Boston. We booked with her from March 27th to March 30th and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Communication was easy and consistent the entire time. She kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Boston was being treated like family. He looked comfortable, happy, and well cared for the whole time. When we met her in person, she was very kind and welcoming, and we also met her husband Will, who was just as great and very sweet with Boston. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. We also really appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was. When we needed to book again, she was open and made the process easy for us. Overall, just really great people and an even better experience. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog.”
“Tiffany took great care of Marvin and was very responsive. She shared photos without having to ask. We would definitely leave Marvin in her care again!”
“Veronica and her husband were exceptional. It was my first time booking with Rover and they exceeded my expectations. They looked after my 2 Pomeranians for a week, sent me the cutest pictures every day and I could see how comfy and laid back the poms were. They spoiled them with tv time and cuddles and even hand fed Theo, who can be picky to eat 🤣. I definitely recommend.”
“We can’t say enough good things about Megan! She took such amazing care of our mini golden doodle, Boston — treating him like he was her very own. From the start, Megan showed incredible communication skills, sending us daily photos and videos that reassured us Boston was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. You could instantly tell he felt safe and loved with her! Megan is friendly, professional, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. She was also incredibly patient and kind when our flight was delayed and we were late getting back — no complaints, just kindness and understanding. If you’re looking for someone who’s dependable, loving, and treats your pet like family, Megan is the one. We’re so grateful to have found her, and we’re sure Boston already misses her! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter — she’s truly a gem!”
“Jaicy took fantastic care of our pup! She sent us updates on how things were going and was very responsive when we had questions. Maeve had lots of play time with Jaicy and her dogs while she stayed with them. We'll definitely be returning the next time we need to board our pup!”
“Kassandra proved to be the best sitter we've encountered in the years we have been using Rover's services. She goes out of her way to make your pet really feel special and part of her family. Our pet is looking forward to his next stay with and her family who's partnership works well in creating the perfect environment. She keeps you fully up to date with what's going on with your pet.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Linthicum Heights
Megan provided wonderful care for my two dogs while I was out of town for a few nights. As someone new to the area, I was understandably nervous about leaving them with a new sitter, especially after not being away from them for quite some time. Before their stay, Megan welcomed us into her home for a meet-and-greet, which helped both my dogs and me feel comfortable and reassured. Throughout their stay, she shared photos, videos, and thoughtful updates on their eating, sleeping, and bathroom routines. I truly appreciated her attentive care and consistent communication, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs had a wonderful stay and were well cared for. I highly recommend Megan and look forward to booking with her again!
Liz and Jeffrey were AMAZING! I cannot say enough wonderful things about them and the way they took care of our fur baby! He was treated like a prince: treats, car rides, time for zoomies, play dates with other dogs and sleeping on the sofa. I was worried he would not want to come home with us after the 3.5 days he was with them. We received videos, pictures and updates every single day. I trusted them and felt like I could relax on my vacation and not worry about the dog. They were so kind and hospitable to our family for drop off and pick up as well. They are wonderful humans who take magnificent care of canines!
Kathryn was awesome! She took such good care of our dog, Bear. She sent pictures and it reassured us while we were away! Drop off and pick up was convenient and easy. Bear felt right at home quickly because of Kathryn’s ease and attention. I would definitely book Kathryn to watch our dog again!
We know our dog will always be in good hands here!! We love the updates we get everyday with pics/videos. Robin and her family are so organized and give every dog exceptional love and care :) I highly recommend to go with their services if you want a trustworthy and caring family to take care of your dog!
Sarah is an absolute dream with both of my pups. They both adore her and her husband and love playing in her yard. She is super attentive and sends me lots of pictures every time they are with her. You can really tell how much she cares for animals. We are so lucky we found her!

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 Linthicum Heights 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 Linthicum Heights 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 Linthicum Heights.
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 Linthicum Heights. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Linthicum Heights 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.
