“Scarlet stayed for a week while we were on vacation and she must have gotten plenty of exercise because she slept the whole day after we got home. Denise sent great photos and she was flexible about pickup time when we hit traffic on the way home. Definitely recommend!”
“I was extremely nervous picking a dog sitter to keep my Boy for a week off an app, especially without knowing the person or any one that used her previously but I could have not had a better experience. My boy was happy and busy. Kelly made sure to read body language of my dog before any new introductions and gave me plenty of updates to reassure my anxious heart. She asked a lot of good questions to get to know him. Hank came home clean, happy, and he even had a Christmas craft he made on his dogcation 🩵 Kelly went from a stranger to a friend and I will definitely be a returning customer.”
“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.”
“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.”
“My girls had a fantastic time with Brittany and her family. Daily photos and updates on them were SO appreciated. This will be their home away from home whenever we cannot be here for sure!”
About: I am an animal lover who has taken care of my own as well as friends and families pets for years. My family has cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, snakes, frogs, geckos, chinchillas. I am a stay at home mom, so my time is very flexible. I am able to keep pets to their daily schedules and routines. My property is ideal for a doggy vacay, we have a newly fenced in valley, a forest to explore, 2 dogs companions (can keep separate upon request), lots of squirrels to chase, and plenty to love to go around! I am able to provide an attentive home environment that a pet is used to.
“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.”
“Was very appreciative that Donna took Kodi at the last minute when her usual border wasn't available. She seems so pleasant. Kodi was fine. I will definitely use her again if necessary. I gave her a cash tip which I always do so that they can get full benefit of it.”
“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!!”
“Stephanie is amazing! Absolutely will use her again. Albus had such a great time with her family and with Blaze! She sent photos and updates often. I love how organized her routine is and fit well with our lifestyle. She is the best!!!”
“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
“This was our first time using Tanita & Terrence's boarding services for our Coco. Our trip was last minute and they were so accommodating. Coco had an AMAZING time and they treated her just like a member of their family! We were kept updated with messages and pictures throughout her stay. We have found another great family to trust our girl with! Thank you both for taking great care of my schloopy! 🩷🐾”
“Christianna did an excellent job watching our dog! She treated him like family, sent us tons of pictures/ videos everyday. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Aaron and Tia are hands down the best ever. They are super friendly loves dogs and I can’t even thank them enough how they have helped me in last minute dog sitting but just the care they show with my dog. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter that just loves animals Aaron and Tia are your people this is my second time and they are 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You won't go wrong”
“Highly recommend!! Extremely thorough and went above and beyond prior to our pup’s stay to ensure he would be comfortable in the new environment while we were out of town. Great communication as well which is ALWAYS a plus for us while we are traveling to include daily updates, and pictures. Could tell our pup had a blast and we will definitely be back again.”
“Saniyya is so amazing and understanding. While she was boarding my dog Scooby we encountered some issues with our rental car. I reached out to her and she was more than accommodating. I can't say enough about how professional and thoughtful she was during our time of dismay since we were out of state for a funeral. I will recommend Saniyya 10 times out of 10 for your boarding needs.”
“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!”
“My Breeze always has great time. I get lots of pictures and he seems to enjoy his daily walk. He is definitely well taken care of & I never have to worry about him. Thanks.”
“Erin and Christina were awesome as always. Our furry baby Boris loves to spend time with his extended family. They are the best dog boarders in the business. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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.
