“Karen and her husband were very nice. Never hesitated to answer my text when checking on Charlie and even sent pictures. I would highly recommend Karen to others and will use her services again.”
“Candice and her girls took such great care of our 16 month old Mini Aussie. Daily pics and updates were never asked for but always appreciated! We could tell our pup was well loved in our absence, and I swear he came back cleaner and smelling fresher than when we left him, and the property was so nice and serene we’d love to stay there ourselves and I’m not joking; Hah:-) Thanks so much Candice and we’ll be back for sure!”
“We had the absolute pleasure of having Brittany watch our Toby for extended stay while we were on vacation. From the first meet and greet, we were certain we made the right choice as it is apparent Brittany genuinely loves animals and pet sitting. Her beautiful home and farm is such a welcoming place for animals of all kinds and our dog even used the pool for swimming. We really enjoyed the daily pictures and updates from Brittany to put our minds at ease. She even gave our dog a bath at the end. Highly recommend Brittany if you are looking for a loving pet sitter!”
“Thomas was fantastic. We got updates and photos of our babies everyday. He was super responsive. Our babies played, had fun, and were happy. We definitely will be booking again.”
“Another amazing stay with Claudia!! She was very patient with my picky dog trying to get her to eat. She sent lots of pictures and I could tell my Stella was having a great time!”
“Lindsey is an amazing sitter!! She shows a lot of love to Chico and he loves her back. Chico came back to us clean, well fed and with no issues. Lindsey's children are very fond of him too. And I appreciate the fact that she sends me pictures of him at play with his furry friends every day. That keeps me at peace to know he's having an enjoyable stay.”
About: I have years of experience caring for and boarding friends’ and family members’ dogs, and I genuinely enjoy making dogs feel comfortable and at home while their owners are away. I work from home, which means I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day and accommodate your dog’s individual needs and routine. With a fully fenced-in yard and frequent walks, your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, playtime, and relaxation. I also have experience caring for a dog with medical needs, including administering oral medications and managing a prescription diet. I understand how important it is to follow feeding instructions, give medications on schedule, and make sure only approved foods and treats are given. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, just like one of my own! I work from home full time and maintain a consistent daily routine with my own dog, so pet care is already a natural part of my day. This includes daily walks, outdoor playtime, and regular feeding schedules. Having a flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to easily accommodate your dog’s routine and individual needs without disrupting their day. Whether they need extra walks, playtime, attention, or a little extra care, I’ll be happy to make them feel right at home! My home is very dog-friendly and set up to make visiting dogs feel right at home! I have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for running around, playing, and getting some fresh air. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and can make themselves comfortable throughout the house. I also have an Australian Shepherd who loves meeting and playing with other dogs and people. He’s crate-trained and has grown up with other dogs being a regular part of his environment, so having a furry visitor around is nothing new to him. I also understand that every dog has different personalities and comfort levels. I’m happy to provide separate spaces, breaks from playtime, and individual attention whenever needed. Whether your dog wants a playmate or prefers some quiet time to themselves, I’ll make sure they have a safe and comfortable environment. My goal is to make every dog feel welcome, relaxed, and part of the family!
“Rackeem is a true professional. He’s knowledgeable, compassionate, detail-oriented, responsive, and kind. We love being able to leave our dog with him, always knowing she’s getting the best care and attention when we’re away. He also always leaves us with great care tips and suggestions. Thank you, Rackeem!”
“Megan and Vince are awesome caregivers to our furry friends. Gracie always has a great time there. Pictures are sent throughout the stay and it is evident she is happy and cared for. She is definitely one of the pack.”
“Mike B was amazing with our baby. Sent lots of pictures, kept us up to date with how he was doing. He looked so happy in the pictures. We were very comfortable knowing our fur baby was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike for your fur baby care.”
“Our dogs Rocky & Bella had a wonderful stay with Lorraine. During our meet and greet we were able to meet another guest dog and I felt comfortable that our pups would be in good hands. I was impressed that even on pick up day when we were picking up at noon, the pups still got a nice long walk that morning. They came home tired and happy. We will definitely use Lorraine again.”
About: I have fostered more than 20 shelter dogs, and I volunteer at nearby shelters to take dogs out for the day. I am experienced in crate training, potty training, and other general training as well as very knowledgeable in pet safety. I am currently in school, with only a two classes during the week so I am able to take your pets into my home or I can come by frequently, never leaving them alone for more than 2-3 hours if needed! I have an apartment that your pet can be with me in, and throughout the day I take dogs on very frequent walks as well as to the parks nearby to play.
“Ralphie came home happy and tired, he had a lot of activity and was well cared for. Andres sent us pictures and updates letting us know Ralphie was having a good time. We appreciated the updates giving us peace of mind while we were vacationing several states away. Andres has a wonderful large property giving the dogs he cares for plenty of space to run around, which our Ralphie is used to and we look for in a sitter's home. We would recommend Andres as your next pet sitter!”
“Donna was wonderful! She accepted my dog on short notice, gave him wonderful care, and allowed me to extend his stay by a day. Bandit was a part of the family, and didn’t want to leave :) Definitely recommended!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North East
I can't say enough wonderful things about our Rover sitter, Lee. She truly came through for us at a time when a previous sitter had nearly ruined our trip. From the moment she stepped in, she was so sweet, attentive, and caring toward our dog, it was such a relief. She sent us multiple updates throughout our trip, along with videos and photos of our happy pup, which meant the world to us. After the nightmare we'd been through with the earlier sitter, I was genuinely scared for our dog and worried I might have to cut the trip short and come home. My daughter had only received one picture from that previous sitter, and our dog looked scared and timid in it. That was NOT what we saw from Lee — with her, our dog was comfortable, relaxed, and his usual energetic, playful self. We are so deeply grateful to Lee, and I can't recommend her enough to anyone who wants true peace of mind while they're away from their furry family.

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.
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.
96% of sitters in North East 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 North East 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 North East.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North East. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your North East 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
