“LaTasha has watched our 3 month old puppy twice already and had taken wonderful care of him. She is accommodating to our schedule adjustments and always provides feedback on his well being. We will definitely continue to use her boarding services.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Marco and Polo! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in caring and loving hands. She kept us updated, treated them like family, and clearly paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Marco and Polo came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for — which says everything. Sarah went above and beyond, and her kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s hard to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Sarah made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“I booked Megan for a long term boarding for my pup while I was away for a few months. She treated him as if he were one of her own. He looked so happy in all of the photos and videos she sent. She’s an amazing sitter, very responsive and provides constant updates 😊”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lilian for my baby Reese. This was his first multi-day/night away from home and me. Lilian sent me multiple messages, pictures and updates throughout his stay that assured me I made the right decision. If you want your fur baby cared for by a caring and loving sitter - Lilian is definitely the one. Plus, her home and outside space is great for the dogs to play and socialize with other dogs. Plus, she really engages in their playtime. I will definitely use Lilian as a second home for my baby Reese.”
“Rena was outstanding! She took great care of my puppy and sent photos and videos. She took him out for walks several times each day. I will definitely use Rena for any future boarding needs.”
“Lindsay was great, as well as her family. She provided pictures and responded quickly with any questions. I would definitely recommend and use her in the future! You can leave your pet without worry!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for the past 5 years. I absolutely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own! 🐾❤️ Our family homeschools, so there’s almost always someone home. Your dog will be welcomed as part of our family, with plenty of attention, love, and companionship. They’ll rarely have to be home alone 😊 We have a Boston Terrier who is used to having other dogs around and does well sharing her space with them. I keep dogs on a leash when we go outside since we don’t have a fenced-in yard, and I take them out multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks and fresh air. When I need to leave the house, I crate the dogs for their safety and peace of mind. I want every pet staying with us to feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family!
“Monica is AMAZING. She sends daily pictures along with a progress report in which I always looks forward to. My dogs absolutely love her and we will continue to book with Monica.”
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.
“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!”
“AMAZING PET SITTER!! She always sends pictures and videos, is funny, and easy to communicate with. I trust her a lot with my grumpy and silly old man dog. She took fantastic care of him and I recommend her. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Michelle was fantastic with our pup! He had so much fun playing with her sweet dog and friends, and she sent us pictures throughout his stay so we could see how happy he was! She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.”
“I highly recommend Melanie and Randy to care for your pets! Our dog,Pax, can only have a certain type of dog toy, since he is a heavy chewer, and Melanie made sure that he would only have non-destructable toys to play with. She also gave updates with pictures to let me know how Pax was settling in. I felt very comfortable with Melanie and Randy caring for Pax and will definitely rebook with them on the future.”
“Atiyana is a lifesaver! She took our last minute request to board our boy. She kept us updated while we were away and I know our boy had an awesome time. Will use her again ❤️”
“I forgot to take the time to review Erin for our last two stays. It is worth taking the time to review her because she is worth her weight in gold!!! We are so glad we found Erin because she provides a safe and comfortable place for our dog to stay. We never worry about a thing when we drop him off. We appreciate her updates and pictures that make us feel like we are right there. Way to go Erin! Glad we found you and your family!!!!”
“Amelia is very kind and communicative. She was able to send me updates and photos throughout the duration of my dog’s stay with her. Highly recommended and would use her services again!”
“Bianca was wonderful with our fur baby. She was proactive in keeping us informed on how Heaven was doing and sent us plenty of pictures. Heaven definitely enjoyed herself. We will definitely use her again.”

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 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.
95% of sitters in Mechanicsville 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 Mechanicsville 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 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 , 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.
