“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Shuling is fantastic and I highly recommend her as a dog sitter! She responds immediately and sends a lot of great photos and videos during the stay. As a dog owner, I can see in the photo that my dog is very happy and comfortable with her. We are repeat customers and Shuling has watched our dog for several nights over different occasions with more booked in the future. When we arrive for drop off, he is always super excited to see her and follow her into the home. I never had to worry and know that my dog is taken care of. Thank you, Shuling!”

“Ivy and Ruby rarely show excitement when visiting or spending time with humans, they tend to be rather chill or nonchalant. However, when they connect the dots that they are visiting with Lillian, they get excited and I see joy in them that brings me much comfort. Thank you Lilian for creating space for my little girls and for providing them exceptional care.”

“Payton and Graham were fantastic with our dog, Indy. They have a backyard he loved playing in, but even more impressive they were able to get his halter on (he's extremely headshy) and take him on actual walks. Videos they sent showed Indy snuggling with Payton in a way he has only done with us before. Communication was excellent, and Indy clearly loved being there. Not only would we book again with Payton and Graham, I'm doing so right now!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner and caring for dogs for years, and I genuinely enjoy having them as part of my everyday life. I currently have dogs of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and making sure everyone is comfortable and cared for are already part of my normal routine. I offer dog boarding, doggy daycare, walks, and drop-in visits. Depending on your dog’s needs and energy level, their time with me can include walks, supervised outdoor play, exercise, bathroom breaks, enrichment, or simply relaxing and getting plenty of attention. I have a fully fenced yard that gives dogs room to safely get outside and play throughout the day. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has its own routine, so I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, medications, crate preferences, sleeping arrangements, behaviors, triggers, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, introductions with visiting dogs are handled carefully and interactions are supervised. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the week, including boarding and daycare. When a dog is staying with me, they aren’t just being left somewhere while their family is away. I make time for interaction, exercise, outdoor breaks, and rest throughout the day while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I’ll treat your dog the way I’d want someone to treat mine—with patience, attention, affection, and respect for the instructions you provide. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing and enjoy your time away without wondering whether they’re okay. Pet care already fits naturally into my daily routine because I have dogs of my own. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. I’m active and enjoy getting dogs outside for walks and playtime, while also making sure they have plenty of time to relax. I can follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine as closely as possible so being away from home feels comfortable and familiar. Safety is my priority whenever someone trusts me with their dog. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for supervised play, exercise, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I also have dogs of my own, so introductions with visiting dogs are always handled carefully and supervised. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, triggers, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. I’ll follow your preferences for walks, crates, medications, sleeping arrangements, and interaction with other pets. You’ll also receive regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and being treated like part of the family.

“I recently had a last-minute Fourth of July trip, and Tamara graciously accepted my booking request on very short notice. Not only did she care for my oldest dog, but she also welcomed my youngest, who can be a bit of a handful. With patience and kindness, Tamara gave both of my girls exceptional care. She allowed my youngest the freedom to adjust at her own pace and, amazingly, helped her become comfortable around cats for the very first time! I never would have imagined she could calmly interact with one, but Tamara made it happen. Throughout their stay, Tamara maintained excellent communication and sent me plenty of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also has a wonderful family who helped shower my girls with love and attention, making them feel right at home. Tamara is responsible, attentive, compassionate, and truly caring. She goes above and beyond, and she is worth her weight in gold. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. My girls will absolutely be back when I’m in town! ❤️”

Madalyn and her family went above and beyond for our little guy. They took exceptional care of our dog who has history of separation anxiety and used their knowledge and skills to make sure that our boy felt like safe and free of anxiety and boy, did it work! I am so overjoyed that I found an individual who I can rely on to make my pup feel safe and happy!

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 McKendree home-away-from-home, 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 McKendree.

<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 McKendree 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 , 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 .

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.
