“Corbin and Shah have been watching my Stormi for doggy daycare for the last month, as I returned to work. The communication is phenomenal and they do an excellent job watching my puppy. I plan on continuing to rebook and I would definitely recommend their services.”
“First time with Robert as a sitter, I will definitely be back on a regular basis. He understands and loves bully breeds. My American Bully came home happy and wanting more cuddles.”
“We could not have had a better experience with Veronica! We were just in town for the weekend for a conference and needed a day care for the dogs one day. Veronica was so accommodating and sought to make our 2 pups feel right at home. She gave us plenty of photos throughout the day which was very comforting and so cute to see our pups with the other dogs. If ever we need dog sitting in Bmore again we will definitely seek her out again!”
“Theresa was very nice and understanding. She constantly kept sending pictures and updates which was amazing! Lola’s time with Theresa helped her make a new friend today which helps with our personal goal for Lola to be more comfortable around other dogs. We will definitely be coming back.❤️💯❤️”
“This was my first time using Danielle, I was truly impressed, from the first picture she sent me I could see that my fur baby was in love from the way he was looking at her with his paw on her arm, that put my mind at ease. Danielle was a ten out of ten and I will definitely be using her again. ❤️”

“Poppy gets excited to get to Crissy's house and enjoys her time with Dublin. Crissy is flexible on timing when I've bumped into conflicts, and adjusting recurring days.”
“Trishelle was great! I’ve been nervous leaving KB with other people as I’ve had both good and bad experiences on Rover, but since Trishelle also has a dachshund, I thought this would be a great fit and opportunity for KB to socialize. Trishelle is very communicative, keeping me updated throughout thr day, sending pictures and videos. Her dachshund, Ollie was super excited to meet KB, which is great but KB is a bit shy in the beginning. By the time I picked him up, they were playing walking side by side and KB looked right at home! I would definitely recommend Trishelle to anyone looking for a sitter, and will look to book with her again!”
“Bridget was a very good sitter for my fur baby. She was on time on point showed lots of care and love. I really appreciate her help. She is great. Kept in touch with me all day. I’ve really appreciate all that she did. She is amazing.”

“Jennifer was fantastic with our 2 dogs (ages 1 and 2) during their full day of daycare. She was so welcoming, and her puppy was friendly and excited to play with our pups. I could tell the dogs were comfortable in Jennifer’s yard and home right away, and she seemed really flexible with hours we needed and special instructions for their care. She also sent me photos and updates throughout the day. I will definitely use Jennifer again for daycare and boarding!”
About: I’ve cared for animals since 10yo. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, fish etc. My last cat recently passed and I’m not ready to attach to another pet just yet. But I love animals and would love to borrow yours from time to time. I’m currently retired and caring for my mom. I would love to have pets around from time to time. I have a solid routine daily schedule from breakfast to sleep. I have a fenced in backyard and a field to walk in across the street. I want to keep pets indoors at night. I prefer to keep them in my room crated or snuggling with me overnight.
“Leydi was extremely responsive and caring for our young puppy. Remy made a friend in Leydi’s puppy Rocky and the two played all day. When she came home she was tired out. We will not hesitate to use Leydi again for doggie daycare!”

“Emily was amazing! We did a meet and greet a few days before hand and then on the actual day, my dog remembered her and was so excited to be back. I was worried because he’s a bit of a Velcro dog but Emily said he slept behind her while she worked and spent some time outside with her dog as well playing. 10/10, I will book Emily and Patrick next time I need a sitter.”

Corbin and Shah have been watching my Stormi for doggy daycare for the last month, as I returned to work. The communication is phenomenal and they do an excellent job watching my puppy. I plan on continuing to rebook and I would definitely recommend their services.
Kaelee had such a wonderful time today with Liz, Eric & their children. Everyone stepped in to comfort Kae especially since it was her first. She played so hard that the first thing she did when she got home was lay down. I would definitely recommend Liz & Eric to anyone looking for a loving family to watch their fur baby. Thanks again & she will be back.
Janice was absolutely wonderful with Auggie! From the moment we met her, it was clear how attentive and caring she is. She treated Auggie as if he were her own, giving him so much affection, patience, and thoughtful attention. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. Auggie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for is always the best sign! I truly appreciate the updates and the extra care she put into every part of his stay. We will definitely be booking with Janice again. Highly recommend!
This was our first meeting with Theresa, and it was wonderful. Her garden/yard is any dogs dream, she was very patient with my concerns & questions, and we were so happy with Rudy’s visit that we are now boarding him for five nights. Her résumé is impressive, she is very experienced, and while it’s hard leaving your pet with anyone, she really helped alleviate my fears.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Middle River commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
