“Huan was the best dog sitter I’ve EVER had! She gave me prompt updates, and I felt so reassured and comfortable that Stella was well taken care of the entire weekend. She will definitely be my regular sitter from now on!!!!”
“Tracey and her family took care of my dog with so much love and attention! We started with a Day Care trial, followed by a weekend stay, and now a longer period. I felt completely relaxed while we were traveling because Tracey knows how to take care of animals. She sent photos and kept us informed about Harry's routine. Harry loves to cuddle and I feel like he has found a family that keeps him happy while we are away. I recommend her without hesitation!”
“I recently utilized Wendy’s pet boarding services and was very satisfied with the experience. She is incredibly caring and made my dog feel right at home. Wendy was also very responsive, ensuring that all of my questions were addressed. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a dependable, loving, and professional pet sitter.”
“I looked into quite a few sitters before choosing Todd because I really wanted to make sure my dog would be as comfortable as possible while I was away. Todd ended up being the perfect choice! He took great care of Koda, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. If you’re considering leaving your dog with Todd, I definitely recommend him!”
“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”
“Dawn is the absolute BEST! We have boarded our golden retriever and mini labradoodle with her a few times and are soooo grateful to have found her!!!!! She loves them like her own and tolerates their terrible counter surfing (when she is making her homemade dog treats for other dogs!).”
“Very great communication and sent a lot of pictures while I was away! Made my girls feel at home and the family was incredibly nice/hospitable. Did not worry at all leaving my girls in their care!”
“Jill and her husband, Sean, were so caring and provided excellent care to our dog, Rigby, while we went on a family vacation. Rigby had a great time based on the pictures and messages that we received while we were away. Those messages put my mind at ease knowing that he was well taken care of. We will definitely use them again when we plan future trips.”
“We had a great experience with Camilo. He is super friendly and my dog had a blast. My dog has some dietary restrictions and he fulfilled our needs. He sent pictures of my dog every couple hours which was very helpful. I honestly have no complaints and would definitely recommend booking with him as I will be too in the future.”
“The BEST! I would leave my furbaby with Jayendri and her loving family, all over again. My dog stayed with Jayendri for 10 days and I received multiple pictures, videos and updates on a daily basis. I never felt that I left my dog with an unknown family. They treated my dog like their own family. I couldn’t have asked for a better home / stay for him. Thank you Jayendri and family for taking such amazing care of Whiskey. If anyone of you are looking for a loving, trustworthy, flexible and generous family for your dog, you have to go with Jayendri.”
“Kathy was the best! Rumi felt relaxed and comfortable all weekend, and Kathy provided lovely video updates. It was so nice to have such a peace of mind knowing Rumi was safe and in great hands!”
“We can’t thank Anne-Marie enough for the amazing care she provided to Onyx. From the moment they met, Onyx warmed up to her almost instantly, which speaks volumes about her gentle and caring nature. Throughout the entire stay, Anne-Marie kept us updated with photos and detailed messages, ensuring we felt at ease knowing Onyx was in great hands. We felt that Anne-Marie went above and beyond, not just meeting Onyx’s needs but also making sure she felt loved and comfortable. It’s evident that Anne-Marie genuinely loves animals and has a natural talent for connecting with them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you for treating Onyx like your own!”
“Tatiana took great care of our dog. It was our first time looking for boarding on Rover, and when I sent her a request, she responded immediately. Since it was only a few days before our trip, I was very relieved to have the booking confirmed so quickly. Dobby’s stay was fantastic. He loved playing with the other dogs and had a great time with Leo. Tatiana also sent us lots of photos and videos, which made us feel so relieved to see Dobby enjoying himself. We definitely hope to request boarding with her again!”
“Our dog Penny loved spending a few days with Juli at her house. She has a great house and yard plus made Penny feel like she was just right at home. Penny loved spending time with her dog too for extra play time. We would definitely use Juli again!”
“Lina was awesome as always! My dog had the best time at her house while I was gone for a week. Lina sent daily photos of my dog and gave frequent updates. She took great care of my dog and followed all the instructions. My dog was safe, happy and healthy under Lina's care.”

Highly recommend Huan as a dog sitter! This was Tucker’s first time staying with Huan, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Huan was wonderful with him. She walked him a couple of times a day, kept us updated with multiple videos and pictures so we never worried, and even wrote us a thank-you card with a couple of printed photos of Tucker when we picked him up. That personal touch meant a lot. Huan is caring, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. We felt completely at ease leaving Tucker with her and will definitely be booking her again. Thank you, Huan!
Greatly knowledgeable about dogs and knew how to calm my cautious dog. Gave me useful insights to his behavior and made us all feel safe leaving our dog with their family. Our dog had a great time at his first ever boarding situation. Will definitely ask them to board him again.
Tracey and her family were really wonderful with our pug Lily. Tracey is very easygoing, and made us feel very comfortable that Lily was well looked after and given lots of love and attention. This is the first time we have put Lily in a house with children and it was a great decision. Lily loves children and the girls had fun playing with her and cuddling up, which is Lily's favorite thing to do! We look forward to booking with Tracey again in the near future!
This was our second time using Nathalie and she was just as wonderful as the first. She communicates very well and sent photos every day, which made us feel so much more at ease while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for, and we already know we’ll use her again. Highly recommend!
Buddy had a great time with Wenyan and Purple as always! It’s so sweet to see how excited Buddy is to see Wenyan when we drop him off. He even came home with the cutest little bow tie this trip! So cute! Wenyan really takes care to the next level and we always feel comfortable with buddy staying with her!
Sean and Eve and their family were so great looking after my dog. We had a meet and greet at their house to make sure it was a good match. Sean and Eve will only look after one dog at a time, and they don’t have any other pets. They watched my dog for a week and sent pictures and videos, as well as texts throughout his stay. They were very caring and I’d definitely recommend them!
Isabel was wonderful! She cared for our Golden Retriever, Daisy, for a week while we were out of town. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind. She lives in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, and Daisy was very happy and well cared for. I would definitely book Isabel again!
We left our 6 yr old golden doodle with Jayendri for 4 days. She managed him very well specially his food as he is a picky eater. The best part of leaving my pup with Jayendri was that I got transparent updates about food and walks and even if the walk schedules were modified. This is something I have not seen with other sitters. Gibbs came back happy and I would love to leave him back again when we go on holidays.
Monika was such a great sitter for our Bernese Mountain dog, Samson. Communicating with her was so easy, and it was clear that Samson was in very good and caring hands. I would highly recommend her and I'm sure Samson is looking forward to getting to spend time at her house in the future, and especially seeing the rest of her family again.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
94% of sitters in North Potomac 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 Potomac 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 Potomac.
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 Potomac. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Potomac 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.
