“Meet and greet allowed us to have the pets meet and plan. Our Dogs stay was great. She fit in easily and was happy to play with their family. Pictures daily were cute. We will book again when traveling.”
“Cindy was great with Murphy. Friendly, easy to communicate, We appreciate her flexibility, prompt and clear communication, and her overall attentiveness to our dog. We could not be more pleased with her work and would be happy to recommend her services to our family and friends.”
“Marley had a great stay with Cal and Kelly! They were very accommodating to our last minute boarding request when we had a family emergency and had to rush out of town. We really appreciated the many photos and videos they provided during Marley’s stay and we could tell he definitely loved lounging on the couch and running in their backyard! They were super responsive to our questions during the stay and arranging pickup/drop off was very seamless. We would definitely recommend Cal and Kelly for ensuring your dog has a great time in a caring, home environment and will remember them for future stays!”
“Nadia was a pleasure to work with, prompt responses, professional and courteous, sent pictures of our dog every day, we will definitely book with Nadia in the future!”
“Thank you Patricia and family for taking great care of our doodle pup girl on short notice for the weekend! She was so excited to play with your sweet daughter in your great fenced in yard! I could tell our doodle enjoyed her time with you and your photos showed the comfort she felt with you! We are very grateful for the wonderful care you provided and how you welcomed her into your home!”
“Andy was so wonderful to our pup! Since it was our first time he agreed to a meet-and-greet with his dog a couple weeks before the long weekend. They got along really well. He also suggested we could see where our dog was going to be staying, which I really appreciated. When our dog returned to stay with Andy for the long weekend, he was so excited to go inside with Andy - he didn’t even look back! Andy sent us pictures every evening and answered all of our questions promptly. He makes sure each dog eats separately and takes care to follow the food instructions. Our dog was tired and happy after we picked him up!”
“Eric kept me apprised of my puppy, Penny, throughout her stay. She appeared to be comfortable and happy. Upon her return home she seemed her usual self assuring me that she was happy with Eric as well.”
“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“I have a great feeling of peace, knowing that my Marcel is being cared for by Elisabeth. She is attentive, loving and gives great care to our dog Marcel. Marcel was right at home with Elisabeth and did not want to leave. It’s important to me that Marcel not be stressed or anxious and she provides that type of calm atmosphere needed. I needed a later time to pick him up and Elizabeth accommodated me and told me not to rush or worry. Marcel was very happy with his long walks! I want to keep her all to myself. She is truly a wonderful person and can be trusted with the care of your special pet.”
“Maria and Nicanor were awesome!! They were so nice to my pup, and sent multiple photos and videos each day I was away. I would 100% be happy to have Callie stay with them again.”
“Evan and his wife stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Kobi for the weekend - and not only did they agree, but they were so enthusiastic it felt like I was doing them a favor and not the other way around! Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”

“We left our cat for one night and Anush was great! She made our cat - and us - feel very comfortable. She sent us lots of pictures and treated our cat like she was her own. We will definitely use her if we need to board our cat again.”
“Christian was so good with my pup. He took to her immediately and based on the photos and videos he enjoyed his time with her. Christian was very responsive especially with me being a bit nervous about about my lil guy being cared for by someone new.”
“Travis was great with our beagle! Atlas definitely came home spoiled! Travis sent pics and videos to show us how things were going. He was very responsive and the whole process was incredibly easy!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Kensington
It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, so I was really nervous and worried. But everything went great! Gabriela sent me photos and updates while I was away, which made me feel much better. My dog came home happy, and I’m really grateful to Gabriela for taking care of him!
Jason, and his wife, treated our dogs as family. That was the best part for my wife and I as we could tell that our girls were being treated with love and care. Their home is set up well for dogs and Honey feel in love with one of their dog beds (it's a Casper) and several of the pictures Jason shared showed her hard asleep on the bed. Fozzy loves her frisbee time so we brought one and Jason entertained her, and exhausted her, daily with play time. Again, we got pictures of Fozzy with the frisbee in her mouth and what looked like a smile on her face. Highly recommend Jason and we will definitely be booking with him in the future.
This was our first time leaving our dog with Shuli. She was great! She kept us up to date on how he was doing during his stay with texts videos and photos throughout. He got generous walks and even enjoyed the company of another visiting dog. We will definitely be using Shuli in the future.
Finding someone you completely trust with your dog is no easy task, but Milad proved to be an absolute godsend. Leaving our two-year-old Bernedoodle, Boukia, for a full month while dealing with intense travel was daunting, but Milad made the entire experience seamless and worry-free. Boukia is our high-energy baby pup with a big personality (and a serious habit of trying to mouth and chew everything in sight!), but Milad handled her energy with so much patience, love, and structure. He went above and beyond to keep her mentally engaged and spoiled—stocking up on her favorite chews, puzzle toys, and playing endless games of tug-of-war/fetch. He even took the time to learn and reinforce her Greek commands keeping her training sharp throughout the stay. From daily updates about their hiking/tennis court/garden adventures to their outing at the scenic Glenview Mansion in Rockville, it was clear Boukia wasn't just being looked after—she was truly loved and living her best life. When flight delays unexpectedly extended our trip by five days, Milad didn't hesitate for a second to accommodate us and keep Boukia safe and happy. Milad is a master caregiver and an incredible communicator. While many sitters use the phrase 'treated like family,' Milad actually sets the standard. The constant stream of video updates and the way he connected with Boukia gave us total peace of mind—it truly felt like our own love was surrounding her while we were away, and it feels as though that kind of care is exceptionally rare to find. Without a shadow of a doubt, we recommend Milad to anyone!
My dogs were well cared for, and Natalia and Edward were very accommodating and flexible for meet & greet, scheduling drop off, and pickup. I appreciated the update photos of the dogs enjoying their company and cozying up on the sofa with their own pup as well. Natalia and Edward seem to enjoy what they do and caring for others’ pets, and I would definitely book with them again. Thanks guys!
Stephanie was great. She took care of my two dogs, Moka and Zoe on a Saturday/Sunday so I could attend a wedding. Moka is around 5, requiring a medication 2x day and Zoe is definitely a senior dog. She sent me photos and they appeared to have had a good time. She was great a communication, and understanding when my flight was delayed and I arrived later than hoped. We'll happily use her again if circumstances allow.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Kensington home-away-from-home, 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 Kensington.
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 North Kensington 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 , 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 .
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.
