“This was my first time using Liz And Jeff. Liz And Jeff and her family have welcomed Nola (5 month old puppy) in as one of their own. I have received pictures and videos of Nola playing with their dogs, and entire family and she is happy as can be. I was nervous initially since Nola was so young but Liz had has made my nerves calm down and she understood me. I would highly highly highly recommend them. I was able to relax on my vacation, knowing that she was in such good hands. If I can give them 100 stars I would I would definitely be using them again. That is for sure!!!!! Nola absolutely lived her best puppy vacation with the wonderful family!!”


“We booked with her on short notice, and she did a great job. She kept me updated with pictures, was very caring, and made a real effort to get my picky dog to eat. I really appreciated the communication and attention she gave him. I’d definitely recommend her and would book with her again.”

“Just picked up my pups from staying with Alex for the weekend. They had a great weekend playing with Reese. Alex sent us pics of them and they were so relaxed and happy. They look forward to staying again!!!”


“Leaving our Shichon, Shipley, for three weeks while we traveled internationally was something we were very nervous about. It was our first time using a pet sitter, and because Shipley has some anxiety, we worried about how he would adjust. Shane and Brittany completely exceeded our expectations! From the very beginning, they made us feel at ease by sending regular updates with photos and videos. It was such a relief to see Shipley happy, relaxed, and having so much fun. He bonded with their entire family and loved playing with their dogs. Seeing him so comfortable made our trip much more enjoyable because we knew he was in the best hands. We were so impressed with the care, love, and attention they gave him that we’ve already booked them to watch Shipley again when we travel in August. We honestly can’t imagine using another pet sitter. If we ever have to, they’ll have some very big shoes to fill because Shane and Brittany have set the bar incredibly high. Thank you, Shane and Brittany, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet boy. We are so grateful and highly recommend you to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and exceptional pet sitters!”

“Geovanna took care of our fur baby very well. She sent us pics and videos regularly. We had a relaxed vacation knowing that our fur baby was well cared for. Also while coming back, we had change of plans and she entertained our request to accommodate us. Very thankful.”

“Fidel and his wife were excellent. They regularly sent photos and made sure our Lyric received her pain pills when her hips started bothering her from all the running around. Although he’s a distance from us, he will be where we leave Lyric from now on”

“Fatty had the absolute best time staying with her family. He was showered with affection, got tons of cuddles, and even got treated to pup cups. He loved them so much and we are so happy he has an open invitation to return anytime. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog like family!”

“Very happy with the care of our baby 😁 Jay is really picky on who he takes medications from, and Jasimine was the exception. He was comfortable enough to trust her from the beginning (first time in 3 years since he has been comfortable with anyone right off the back!) Very pleased and happy with the care he received.”

“This was our first experience using Rover and it was great! Brittanie and Ryan were flexible and easy to communicate with, shared photos throughout our pet’s stay, and overall made it easy to be away without worrying about her. Would definitely return the next time we need pet care!”

“ore loves loves loves chip, jake, and ms virginia. she always perk up/get excited when she hear their names. hands down! a wonderful fur baby sitter and highly/definitely recommended . 💕”

“Theresa was amazing with my senior pup! I loved receiving daily updates and photos of my little one. My guy is a timid little one, but he opened up with Theresa and her family and surprised us both by giving them a little lick. She went above and beyond by washing his bed and giving him a quick rub down after he had an accident. I definitely would recommend Theresa for your sitter needs. She’s a real gem.”

“We had a wonderful experience…as always! This was Saint’s first overnight stay, and we felt completely at ease while we were in Mexico. We received updates, Saint was well cared for, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable. We came home to a healthy, happy puppy. We would absolutely trust her with Saint again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! 🐶❤️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Patapsco
Liz and Jeffrey were AMAZING! I cannot say enough wonderful things about them and the way they took care of our fur baby! He was treated like a prince: treats, car rides, time for zoomies, play dates with other dogs and sleeping on the sofa. I was worried he would not want to come home with us after the 3.5 days he was with them. We received videos, pictures and updates every single day. I trusted them and felt like I could relax on my vacation and not worry about the dog. They were so kind and hospitable to our family for drop off and pick up as well. They are wonderful humans who take magnificent care of canines!

We know our dog will always be in good hands here!! We love the updates we get everyday with pics/videos. Robin and her family are so organized and give every dog exceptional love and care :) I highly recommend to go with their services if you want a trustworthy and caring family to take care of your dog!

Sarah is an absolute dream with both of my pups. They both adore her and her husband and love playing in her yard. She is super attentive and sends me lots of pictures every time they are with her. You can really tell how much she cares for animals. We are so lucky we found 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 Patapsco 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 Patapsco.
<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 Patapsco 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.
