“Shuling did a great job with Roman. He enjoyed playing in her backyard with her dog and she gave us constant updates on his progress. We recommended Shuling 10/10 and will certainly be using her again!”
“Candice is very responsive and a great communicator. At our meet and greet, I knew immediately that our fur baby would be in good hands. We received updates and pictures throughout our dog’s stay, so we were never left wondering how things were going. I’m so happy to have found her.”
“Kimberly and her family made Ruthie fe right at home and provided her with a home away from home! They were so kind and accommodating to her. Ruthie gets anxious knowing kennels and sometimes doesn’t like other dogs, so this is the perfect solution for her. She was treated like family! We will definitely be back!”
“Brittany is an ALL STAR sitter. Caesar loves staying with her, the kiddos and other dogs. He enjoys running around the huge backyard. She always sends updates and photos. As long as she’s available, that’s where we go!”
“Elaine did really an amazing job at taking care of our dog Kala during our extended vacation. She took extra efforts to prepare special food and sent frequent updates and pictures! Elaine will be our first choice when considering any future boarding needs. Thanks Elaine!”
“This was Tytus' first time away from us since his birth almost 5 years ago. Angela gave us a since of peace and comfort by providing us daily updates via text, photos, and videos. She and her daughter took great care of Tytus with giving him lots of love and hugs, which his very spoiled sweet spirit demands. I've already booked my next appointment and I would highly recommend her multiple services, which are flexible and reasonable. Thank you Angela for your exceptional service!”
“Belle’s time with Laura and Bunny was great!! My baby was full of life and energy! She definitely enjoyed her time, and I felt very comfortable that she was in good hands! The meet and greet was definitely the kick off to a wonderful stay! Thank you Laura and Bunny for taking such good care of Belle! See your gals soon!!”
“Alicia and her family took wonderful care of Zen. She provided daily updates with lots of photos. I could tell he enjoyed his stay. I will definitely rebook with Alicia again.”
“Couldn't ask for a better sitters - I boarded my pup with Janice and Stalio for three days. They were accommodating with some changes to my schedule and sent photos and feedback while I was away. I look forward to booking them again since I know my dog is happy and cared for well.”
“Marta was so great!! Let me tell you, I am picky when it comes to finding a dog sitter and am willing to drive a bit far for a good one, and I think I’ve found one in Marta! Just from interacting with her a few times I can tell she is professional, experienced in caring for different types of dogs, and seems to be a big dog lover too! During the meet & greet, she had a list of questions about my dog Mochi and took down notes which shows she takes it seriously. And when the boarding day came, I had to push the drop off time by over an hour and she was very flexible about it. She sent several pictures during the day and Mochi looked like she was having a blast in all of them! She also has a huge fenced backyard where the pups can run and play, which is a big plus! Especially for a large golden-lab mix like mine with lots of energy. Will definitely board with Marta again! 😊”
“We thought we were having a good time until Tiffany sent pictures of our dogs. They were having the time of their lives! Tiffany is so kind and caring. She sent pictures of both dogs, cooked them food, let them sleep where they were comfortable. I couldn’t have picked a better person, and I will now only allow them to stay with Tiffany. Wonderful experience and big thanks to Tiffany!”
“Jasmine was fantastic with our two dogs for 10 days over Christmas! Daily walks and pictures were sent to us. I felt so at peace knowing they were being well taken care of. When our flight times coming home got changed, Jasmine was so understanding and flexible with our pickup. Great experience, highly recommended!”
“Emily was a fantastic sitter for Rudy! This was our first time with Emily and Rover and the experience was all positive. Emily kept in daily contact sending brief texts and/or pictures of Rudy that truly set my mind at ease during this first visit. Rudy also enjoyed playing with Emily's dogs, Pumpkin and Scooter. We would definitely use Emily again!”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, and know how to take care of them. I also have experience with cats, I have helped my grandfather with a stray cat that chose him! I'm openly available, as of today. I like to volunteer, but that usually only takes about 4 or 5 hours. I will give your pet the time it needs. You make sure that they have plenty of fresh water, eat on time, and walk them every day when the sun is not too hot, eg in the morning or evening.
“This was my first time using Donna and it will not be my last. She kept our 4 year old Yorkie for a week and sent photos and/or video regularly. I can tell that my dog had a GREAT time will there, with Donna and her husband and with the other dogs. My dog is happy and healthy. Donna was a great communicator and very easy to work with. The next time I need a boarder, I know my dog will be in good hands. Thank you again for your great service.”
About: I've had pets throughout my whole life, but as I got older and moved out of parents house they become very expensive. So, instead of getting my own pet, I use this site to engage myself with the precious animals. I currently work full-time through the week. I fit pet care time in on the weekends when I have nothing planned. I can totally do potty breaks after work hours. I care for the pets by giving them attention, playing with them(outdoors/indoors), feeding them, taking them outside for potty breaks, and cuddling because animals needs love too.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Parole
Elaine is amazing—so kind, caring and truly understands small pups of all kinds! She has cared for our Penny since she was a puppy. Hard to believe it’s been 6years now! We have had to try others a couple of times when Elaine has been away (which is almost never!), but no one understands our Penny like Elaine. She is Penny’s person when we can’t be with her, that’s for sure! And we can rest assured knowing Penny will be lovingly cared for!
Andy and Lydia took great care of Axel and provided regular updates. My energetic boy came home happy and tired. Axel was very comfortable with Andy from the start and wanted attention from him before leaving. It typically takes him a bit to warm up, but Axel seemed so at ease from the beginning. We are very happy with the care. Thank you Andy and Lydia!
Elaine was fantastic. This was the first time we have used Rover for our pups and it could not have gone any better. She watched our guys during our long vacation and the pups loved her. She gave them lots of love, and spoil them rotten. It was so nice knowing that she also had a fenced in yard where they could go out and play and do their business. She sent us updates and pictures daily and it made us feel so at ease. Thank you again Elaine for everything.
Melissa was amazing with Ollie! He just turned 1, so he has TONS of energy, and being a Golden Retriever, he loves putting everything in his mouth. She was so sweet and even gave him old towels to play with because she knew it made him happy. We loved getting updates every morning and evening, and she was so accommodating with all of Ollie’s quirks including his obsession with water and getting it EVERYWHERE. Her dog Tanner also loved having Ollie around! I was definitely anxious leaving my baby, but Melissa took such great care of him and made me feel completely comfortable. Ollie will be back to board with her again in a few weeks, and I’m so happy we found her!
Kaci took care of my dog when I went on vacation and it was great! She kept me updated on my dog the entire time and kept her very active. It was such a relief to know that my dog was being cared of by someone who clearly has a lot of love for animals and is trustworthy and responsible. We will definitely have our dog stay with Kaci in the future.
Katie made Rosie feel right at home right away. Rosie has always been a bit slow to come around. She sent plenty of photos and videos and was very responsive. She even responded within minutes after we had picked up Rosie when I accidentally called her. She genuinely has a caring heart. Definitely recommend her.

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 Parole 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 Parole.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Parole 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.
