About: I know how hard it can be to find a trustworthy pet sitter. I've struggled with it myself which is why I want to help others. My two dogs are part of the family and it's always hard leaving them with somebody. Luna our younger dog has anxiety and so we've learned a lot about taking care of a dog with special needs over the years. I work 10 minutes from home so I come home on my lunch every day to let the pups out and to give a mid day treat and I get home by 5:30/6pm in the evenings. I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs(females)to keep your fur baby company. My girls are not crated during the day and have the freedom to lounge on the sofa & play with lots of toys. Your pup is welcome to join them or could be crated if you request.
“Keiwana and her gorgeous family took amazing care of our 4 month old puppy Rosie. They were so kind and patient - Rosie made more than a few mistakes but they were so understanding and graceful about it. Keiwana also sent us so many great pictures of Rosie throughout the weekend! Rosie made some new friends with their sweet dog Bailey and two little girls, and she didn’t want to leave when we came to get her! (but when we did get back home, she was so tired and napped like an angel). We would most definitely use them again (but maybe when Rosie’s older so their beautiful house doesn’t get any more puppy damage!!) Thank you SO MUCH to Keiwana & family!!”
“Marliez was absolutely amazing! She was attentive and kind. My fur baby was happy to stay with her and was very well taken care of; she stayed in a home away from home. Marliez sent me pictures every day and made sure to give me an update on my baby’s activities and mood. Would definitely recommend Marliez to anyone wanting their baby to stay in a loving home while they are away. Loved working with Marliez and will be booking with her in the future.”
“Megan was amazing!!! She took really god care of my two fur babies. She sent videos, pictures and status updates that included detailed and heartfelt messages. You will not be disappointed booking with her. I will be rebooking for sure.”
“Janelle and Joanna were amazing! We have a puppy who is definitely in training. I was very worried about leaving him, especially since he was still newer to us. Janelle met Remy and me a few days before with her adorable pup Zoey. She had great communication prior to visit, during, and after. Remy felt very comfortable at her place. I am thankful for the extra TLC and patience she showed our boy. We will definitely being calling again for future needs! Thank you ?”
“ECE was a lifesaver and helped us out last minute, with very little notice! Most importantly she was very kind, communicative, and took such excellent care of our dog. I would highly recommend her for any and all of your pet care needs.”
“Ariel was awesome! She was very welcoming and friendly. She kept me updated with pics and took phenomenal care of Polo. This was his first time being left with a stranger so I was nervous but I can tell he loved Ariel. He will definitely be a frequent flyer with Ariel.”
“Sarah and Nick were amazing sitters for Milo and it shows. Milo’s attachment and body language showed complete trust and love for them when picking him up and it was clear that they absolutely loved him and treated him with care. They communicated and shared photos which kept us at peace knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend.”
About: Growing up, I was always around dogs and developed a strong love for them. I have owned German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, and German Shorthaired Pointers. I have always walked, and fed the dogs in the house. I work early mornings and am finished before noon, so I have plenty of time during the day to care for pets. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy some fresh air. I also have a friendly German Shorthaired Pointer/Beagle mix named Oreo who loves having other dogs around. We can play catch in the yard, go for walks around the neighborhood, and I’ll make sure each pet is fed, cared for, and given plenty of attention.
“This was our first time bringing our kitten to boarding w/Eva. We were nervous because our kitten (4mo) is young. Eva was very flexible/helpful/understanding, and she and her family gave our kitten lots of attention She sent regular photos and videos. Would definitely use again.”
“Marwa and Casey are fantastic sitters! Sadie is immediately at home with them! We love getting the fun photo updates while we were out of town. We came home to a very happy and well-cared-for pup.”
“Shannon was amazing! She provided many updates and pictures! Dante loved hanging out with her and her family. Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!”
About: Our house always had fishes, dogs, birds, guinea pigs or rabbits growing up. Being an only child I grew up watching National Geographic channel and always brought home a stray dog or a random animal I found. Needless to say when I became an adult I was constantly volunteering at dog shelters and always dog sitting my friends dogs or my neighbors pets. I love showering dogs with affection but I am also strict when it comes to following rules and setting boundaries. I rescued my dog when he was only 2 weeks old and have bottle fed him, researched his breed and trained him accordingly. I like to do activities according to the dog’s breed, personality and energy level. I am currently a full time grad student commuting from MD-DC, so I am fully available during the weekends and evenings to shower your fur babies with love and care! I have a friendly 2 year old dog and own 1 med sized crate and 1 large sized crate if needed. I also own a self powering treadmill for dogs as well if your baby does not like the rain but still want to run. I drive an suv that is equipped with dog covers in the back seat for the dogs to lay down and enjoy car rides.
“Elizabeth was fantastic! She sent frequent updates and took fantastic care of Gouda! He went straight to bed after we picked him up, best compliment of a dog sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of several dogs over the past 10 years. I currently have a 3 year old aussiedoodle that I’ve had since he was 8 weeks old. I absolutely love dogs and will treat your dog just like my little fur baby! I currently work from home, so I am very flexible during the week. My weekends are almost always free, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur baby! I have house trained my dog, so I have no need for a cage. I have play time and plenty of walks. My dog mainly prefers snuggle time

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!
Trishelle was great with my pet. She took him on short notice, when my sitter had an emergency and could not board him. I had a paid vacation already planned. Trishelle agreed to take him in on short notice. I received many pictures and messages on my week away. I have a senior, shy and very temperamental dog. The pictures put me @ ease. When I picked him up, he was well cared for. I can tell Trishelle truly cares for pets. I definitely would recommend her especially for boarding your pets for long periods.
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.
This was my first time leaving my dog with a non-family member and was a bit nervous, but Cassandra did an amazing job and truly made me feel like my dog was in good hands! She sent me lots of photos and videos of him which I enjoyed very much. She took him on walks, played a lot, and overall took great care of Frankie. I would definitely rebook with Cassandra again if I ever need more dog boarding/sitting!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
