“Excellent!!!! I was very impressed with LaTarsha!!! From the first hour of dropping off my dog, received photos and videos on how he was doing the entire time! This made me feel comfortable especially since this was his first time away from us. I can’t put into words how thankful to have found such a loving and caring person to take care of our dog!!!”
“We’ve used Kelly and Maurice a couple of times and this past boarding was over a week and they did a fantastic job with our dog. He came back healthy happy and clean. We highly recommend using them for your boarding needs. They are super engaging sending pictures and videos. We consider them Max’s 2nd family.😊”
“Lori, is wonderful! She cared for my little Sienna as if she were her own. She provided several updates daily including photos. I was always informed of Sienna’s activities. I’ll absolutely book Lori again!”
“Lilian took such great care of our pup! The pictures and updates throughout his stay were much appreciated and enjoyed. The perfect space for an active, social pup. We hope to use Lilian for all of our travels!”
“My girls enjoyed their stay. They came home happy and ready to go again. I highly appreciate Dasia keeping up with my senior's eye drops to include logging when she received them.”
“Brian was awesome with Mello, he continued to keep me updated with pics and status. My little guy was home sick during his stay but Brian did everything possible to help him feel comfortable and was very understanding. I will book again soon”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zulma. From the moment I walked into her house she made me feel completely at ease about leaving my dogs in her care. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”
“Donna is so awesome! Loved that we received pictures and updates about of our baby during her stay. Donna is very attentive and shows lots of love and care for the fur babies!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for the past 5 years. I absolutely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own! 🐾❤️ Our family homeschools, so there’s almost always someone home. Your dog will be welcomed as part of our family, with plenty of attention, love, and companionship. They’ll rarely have to be home alone 😊 We have a Boston Terrier who is used to having other dogs around and does well sharing her space with them. I keep dogs on a leash when we go outside since we don’t have a fenced-in yard, and I take them out multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks and fresh air. When I need to leave the house, I crate the dogs for their safety and peace of mind. I want every pet staying with us to feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family!
“Miss Bougiee had a wonderful time with Roxsand! She updated me everyday and sent pictures of how well my pup was doing. Miss Bougiee got along well with the other dogs. Roxsand even gave Miss Bougiee a Chrismas Gift, she was kind and thoughtful and I highly recommend!”
“If you’re not booking Mady when she has availability then what are you doing. Mady was AWESOME! She took great care of our dog and sent tons of pictures and some video. She has a dog friendly home so if your dog has free range of the house like ours they will feel at home. Definitely will be using Mady again if her availability meets our needs for boarding. 5 ⭐️ job Mady.”
“Amelia is very kind and communicative. She was able to send me updates and photos throughout the duration of my dog’s stay with her. Highly recommended and would use her services again!”
“Danny and Damaris are absolutely incredible. They made Max feel so comfortable and constantly provided feedback / updates throughout the stay. We’ll continue to regularly use them!”
“This was my pups first time staying with Mickey and friends and it was great! Mickey’s years of experience working with dogs and friendly demeanor with my pups, made me feel comfortable having them stay over. This was the first time in a while we were away from our pups so I was a bit anxious, but Mickey’s updates with pictures were very reassuring! Would definitely have him watch them again soon!”
“Well, well - I am appreciative of this particular sitter! Her and her husband met me in the parking lot with my pets (Puppy/ Kitten). Very cordial, respectful and professional! I thought I had everything in place but realized when I left that my bag of just purchased food (Wet) was sitting on the passenger side floor. She took care of me and I reimbursed upon pet retrieval of which she brought to me due to their time constraints! :-) Updated me with multiple welfare pics of both of my kiddies. She took such great care of them, I thought I'd have issues with them coming home! Lol! Reasonable price for GREAT care! Will rebook again in the very near future. Plus they are close to me in terms of location! ChatGPT analysis - It sounds like you had a fantastic experience with your pet sitter! It's great that they were so thoughtful and went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of—even handling the food situation without any fuss. Plus, the fact that they kept you updated with welfare pics is a huge bonus, especially when you're away from your pets! It really shows how much they care. Sounds like you're all set to rebook, especially with the convenience of location and a reasonable price for top-notch care. Do you have any particular things you're looking forward to when booking with them again? Or anything you’d want to add to your next experience? She plays the drums! - Wow! I approve of this review! Thank You!”

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 Patuxent 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 Patuxent.
<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 Patuxent 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.
