“Mocha is ALWAYS in great hands with Anika. I am never worried about her care and wellbeing. Does my heart good to leave my baby in the hands of someone who cares for her like I do.”
“I've used Denise several times now and I don't trust anyone else to look after my dog, but her! It's so hard to find a dog sitter with a small dog these days so I am definitely lucky to have found her :)”
“La Tasha was wonderful with our Griffin pup. She went above and beyond to keep us updated on his stay via texts and videos. She was very easy to schedule with and has a great love for dogs. Griffin was happy and exhausted at pick up time ;)”
“Lillian and Sebastian was wonderful right from the jump start. They both made my husband and I feel very comfortable to leave our fur baby. Further more, upon dropping off our fur baby, he was made to feel right at home. To top it off, we received plenty of photos, videos and text fill with updates of our fur baby. Excellent care.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”
“They were great with our puppy! They sent us updates and pictures everyday & kept us up to date with how our puppy was doing! Definitely will rebook with them again!”
About: I live on a 300 acre farm which has given me experience with all types of animals. I am also a veterinary technician and have experience treating all types of dogs, cats, & exotics. I have 2 well-socialized basset hounds that are the highlight of my day. There is plenty of room to roam and play. Can offer trail walks / runs, fetch, belly rubs, swimming (if Owner allows), couch time, and toys & treats. Comfortable with the extra care senior dogs require. Happy to accept puppies too. Able to administer medications, CPR, and handle emergencies. True animal lover. I will treat your pets like they are my own. Your pets would not be left alone for more than 2 hours - I work 3 mi. from my home so would be able to pop home anytime to tend to your pets. I have a 1-acre fenced in area and 300 acres of farmland to roam. Happy to crate your dogs if requested; otherwise they would be allowed in the home freely.
“Megan is an outstanding dog boarder. She sent us photos of Dream daily and an update. Megan gave Dream exceptional care and I could not be more appreciative for Megan . Highly recommend!!!”
“Elizabeth was an amazing sitter for my Pyrenees/Golden mix! I could tell he genuinely appreciated her company and will remember her forever now! She was very patient with him, as he struggles with stairs. Her communication was also excellent throughout. I was 1000 miles away but receiving pictures and daily updates really help assure me that Joni was having a nice time. Thanks again!!”
“My family and I travel separately because we had not found the right sitter for our babies. We will never look any further, because Lindsey and her family treated my babies as if they were theirs. How do I know? They were full of smiles each time she sent us a picture of them, while we were away. We are now planning trips for the future, because Devin & Louie have another place to call home when we are away. Thank you so much. We look forward to future visits!”
“I recently boarded my dog with Tanita and Terrance for one night, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They are definite dog lovers who provided great care and showed incredible patience. I especially loved the pictures they sent, which kept me reassured and connected to my furry friend. Highly recommend their services!”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“Erwin and Cristina were our Christmas miracles! With VERY short notice, they watched our 2 African Mastiffs (boerboels) and showed them love and care! They kept us updated daily, which was such a comfort! You can tell they are experts with dogs- incredibly attuned to their body language. Thank you so much!”
“The relationship started with a meet and greet and Yiqiuxi and Nick asked all of the right questions to ensure that it was a good fit. They were interested in his routines and most importantly the do's and don'ts so Gucci didn't pick up any bad habits. Next the drop off. They have a huge area for Gucci to get plenty of exercise and he showed an immediate sign that he was comfortable which sealed the deal. We could not be happier with how well our Gucci was taken care of (6 nights) I was truly impressed with the consistency in daily updates which included photos, cuddle time and summary of his day. We appreciate their flexibility when I needed to add an extra day due to travel delays. I highly recommend Yiqiuxi and Nick and I am getting ready to book a new date right away. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Loki's stay with Giovanni & Vanessa was beyond what we could imagine. We truly enjoyed getting to know them during our meet and greet and seeing how Loki connected with them. Loki was spoiled with love, attention and bits of training. We recieved daily updates of Loki and we really enjoyed the videos. We would definitely book with them again as it was obvious Loki had lots of fun and felt comfortable with them. Thanks so much Giovanni & Vanessa you guys are awesome!”
“She is very quick with responses, I needed a last minute sitter for Bronx because I had a house gathering & I was so glad he was able to visit her home for a couple of hours”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mechanicsville
My dog looked like he was enjoying himself so much, I wasn’t sure how to convince him to come home🤭 His previous stay away from home was terrible, and stressful, he returned with hotspots all over his body. I knew we found a good fit Anika because she only watches one dog at a time, more his speed. We received pictures and updates daily which eased his humans minds. I cannot thank Anika enough fo her care. See you soon!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Mechanicsville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Mechanicsville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mechanicsville 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 Mechanicsville.
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.
You and your Mechanicsville 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.
