“Sammie stayed with Elissa three 4 days and 3 nights. During the entire stay, Elissa sent pictures and videos which kept me in the loop. Sammie came back happy, and I could tell she was taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“LaTasha provided such great care to Deuce. The videos and pictures sent each day helped me in knowing that he was having fun and in a safe place. I will absolutely use her services again.”
“We are first-time Rover users and couldn’t be happier with how everything went with Kelly G! She is prompt and thorough with communication, and sent us a photo of our lab every day which we appreciated so much. When we picked our pup up she was happy to see us but also seemed like she would have been happy to stay with Kelly. We were very pleased overall.”
“Latte had a great stay with Monica and her fur babies. This was the first time we left our pet. She has a good process for drop off and getting to know our dog, understanding her needs, feeding, etc. and meeting other dogs. She was very attentive and made sure to communicate and send several pictures each day. We were excited to get our puppy mail and see how Latte was doing. She took great care of our baby. I hope to use her again if I have boarding needs in the future.”
“Absolutely amazing! She was so quick to respond and very accommodating about drop off/pick up times! She also send pictures and videos with updates throughout the stay which I so appreciated! And our Penny girl was loving life over there! We will most definitely be contacting her again! She’s the best!”
“Well, well - I am appreciative of this particular sitter! Her and her husband met me in the parking lot with my pets (Puppy/ Kitten). Very cordial, respectful and professional! I thought I had everything in place but realized when I left that my bag of just purchased food (Wet) was sitting on the passenger side floor. She took care of me and I reimbursed upon pet retrieval of which she brought to me due to their time constraints! :-) Updated me with multiple welfare pics of both of my kiddies. She took such great care of them, I thought I'd have issues with them coming home! Lol! Reasonable price for GREAT care! Will rebook again in the very near future. Plus they are close to me in terms of location! ChatGPT analysis - It sounds like you had a fantastic experience with your pet sitter! It's great that they were so thoughtful and went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of—even handling the food situation without any fuss. Plus, the fact that they kept you updated with welfare pics is a huge bonus, especially when you're away from your pets! It really shows how much they care. Sounds like you're all set to rebook, especially with the convenience of location and a reasonable price for top-notch care. Do you have any particular things you're looking forward to when booking with them again? Or anything you’d want to add to your next experience? She plays the drums! - Wow! I approve of this review! Thank You!”
“Kelly and Maurice were great! This was my first time boarding Smokey and they made him feel like he was apart of the family from all the pictures. He got to interact with other dogs and that is something I've been wanting. I'll definitely be contacting them again to watch him.”
About: I've taken responsibility of many dogs since childhood, including pups and seniors, disabilities, and rescue dogs. I like to make dogs feel as happy and loved as one can be. My weekly routine is school only. As a graduating senior of 2027, I have an early release schedule that allows me to give your animal extra attention. I have a big-fenced backyard aswell as the necessities to care for your animal. I am ready to spend time with any animal to cater to not only their needs, but especially their spoiled wants.
“Addie has stayed with Lauren before, and she enjoyed her stay this time overnight as well! She had a bath there, and her coat is so shiny and clean. We’re impressed with Lauren, and feel completely comfortable leaving Addie with her. We will be using Lauren again. Thank you!”
About: I have had my baby Dakota for 6 years, ever since she was a pup! I have seen all stages and loved her through them all. I would love to provide that same love to your baby when you are not around! After having Dakota, I definitely understand the term “a dog is a man’s best friend”. She has loved me through so many stages of life and helped me overcome a lot. I cherish her presence and company like no other. I would love to care for your baby as if they were my own while you are in need of time away. I work a 9-5. I will care for your pet in the morning before I leave and as soon as I return home. Then take them to the park to have a fun time and socialize. I live in a single family home. I will ensure your baby is cared for and receiving their exercise. For example, walks, activities outside, or even allowing them to frolic outside.
“Robyn came through when I needed it! Very personable, professional and accommodating! Looking forward to establishing a long lived boarding a relationship for the very near future! ;-)”
“Fitz had a wonderful time with Melonie. We found a 2nd home for him and i will truly have a more enjoyable trip knowing Fitz is staying with a wonderful family.”
“I had a great experience with Kareema! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my pup while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing he was in good hands. This is my second booking and would definitely recommend her and book again!”
“Sapphire came in clutch taking in Luna for a last-minute booking. Initially concerned that my 10 y/o Luna (husky/lab) hadn’t had too much exposure to other dogs, she ensured capabilities to be able to separate if warranted. By the time I came to pick her up, Luna had made a whole batch of new friends. Very grateful to have come across a wonderful host. Communication throughout her stay was great and I didn’t have a worry about Luna’s care!”
“Rae is a kind and attentive person, and she made Oliver feel safe and comfortable during his entire stay. This was his first boarding experience not with family, and he had a good time. Will re-book!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Malcolm
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received. From the very beginning, communication was excellent—quick responses, clear updates, and complete reliability. Elissa was incredibly accommodating and flexible with a last-minute request. My dogs were clearly well cared for, comfortable, and happy the entire time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such attentive and loving hands. I would absolutely trust Elissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, top-quality pet care.

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 Malcolm 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 Malcolm 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 Malcolm.
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 Malcolm. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Malcolm 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.
