“Reynaldo seem to love his doggies. It was my first experience on Rover and I was skeptical, and a bit scared to be honest, at first to leave my dog. Reynaldo sent pictures and updated frequently. Overall, Luca had a safe and pleasant stay (he even threw a party for one of the other doggies’ birthday) !”
“Theresa helped us feel comfortable leaving Louis for the weekend while we travelled out of state. She was warm and friendly when we met and she made friends with Louis right away. She asked thoughtful questions about him and gave us the confidence that he'd be ok. He loved her so much he sat at the back door waiting for her to come back after she dropped him off! 💜”

I can always tell if Bailey enjoyed his stay if he's not anxious to leave. This was our first time using Molly but Bailey felt right at home. Molly sent photos to us several times and followed our instructions about his care and feeding. We will be using her again.
Theresa was amazing with my dog Winnie! I was nervous to go on a multi-week trip after our usual dog sitter moved away. I found Theresa and she was a perfect fit. Super experienced and communicative. She sent lots of photos and Winnie seemed super happy and comfortable. She also has an incredible garden that’s such a peaceful space for the pups.
I used to get so anxious every time I had to board my dog because she has separation anxiety. I would always worry that she wasn’t eating, sleeping, or adjusting well while I was away. But ever since I found Ian, I feel so much more at ease. Ian's place has a great yard and my dog has made new friends at their house and always seems so happy there! They take such great care of her, and their huge yard is amazing for the dogs to run around and play. You can genuinely feel how much Ian and his wife love and care about the dogs they look after. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is somewhere she feels safe, comfortable, and loved while I’m away. I’m so grateful I found them and would 10000% trust Ian with my dog again!
Kali was an extraordinary dog sitter for my very very anxious dog. My dog has significant anxiety which can be very difficult to work through but Kali was diligent and kind allowing my nervous pup to ease into a her environment. Kali gave frequent updates, pictures and videos, always asking if there’s anything else she could do to help ease the transition. Within a day my scared pup started to warm up and became inseparable from Kali. Not only did she have to deal with my pups anxiety but my pups eye drop regime! She did everything I asked and more, she exceeded my expectation. I can’t wait to use Kali again, she was amazing with my dog and just a lovely person!

Katie was absolutely amazing with Toby during his 3-week stay. We have previously booked Katie to care for Toby, and we were so happy to have her watch him again. Knowing Toby’s personality and needs, we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. Toby is a sensitive dog who needs patience, understanding, and a calm environment, and Katie provided exactly that. Her regular updates, photos, and thoughtful attention gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Toby truly enjoyed his time with her and was treated like a part of her family. Thank you, Katie, for taking such wonderful care of our baby. We are so grateful for your kindness, patience, and love toward Toby. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!
We had our pup stay with Christina for a week and he was in the best hands! She was proactive about having a meet and greet with her pup, she provided so much information, and the many updates were so detailed! I know our boy had the best time and there couldn’t have been a better place for him to have stayed.

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 Middle River 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 Middle River 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 Middle River.
<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 Middle River 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.
