“Apollo had a lovely time staying with Sriju! She has such a peaceful, calm spirit and a cozy home. Apollo felt comfortable right away. Sriju’s house is located on a corner with a large yard next to it and there is a playground and dog park close by. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“Sammy had so much fun with Gail and Kris! She went on long nature walks, sniffed a lot of geese and ducks, watched birds and squirrels, and played with them at home when the weather is not so great. We trust the Spare Hoomans to give the best care for our pup. They always send up pictures and video updates of how they’re doing. We were super comfortable having them care for her during our long trip.”
“Deborah, her daughter, and their dog Lotus are absolutely wonderful. I left my dog with them for a week and couldn’t have been happier! My girl was so well cared for and received tons of love and attention. The photos and videos they shared truly put me at ease and showed how much fun she was having. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating to both of us. I would highly recommend them!”
“Ivan did a great job for taking care of my dogs! He is very confident with dog boarding and at the same time he assures that our dogs are safe and happy by sending pictures and messages everyday! Our dogs definitely had a good time with Ivan and his family and we were moved that they noticed our Addy's little bump which is thoughtful because it showed me they really cared our doggies. Thank you again and we will definitely have him again!!”
“Victoria was WONDERFUL. She had such a calm and kind energy. While she watched our Rosie, she sent text and photo updates, which were so nice to receive. She took such great care of our dog, and we look forward to bringing Rosie back! We love Victoria!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Helen watching our energetic maltipoo, Yuki! Yuki is full of energy and loves lots of attention, and Helen handled him perfectly. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves dogs and knows how to keep them happy and engaged. Yuki came home relaxed and content, which says a lot! We really appreciated the updates and photos during the stay—it gave us peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Helen for anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter for their pup!!”
“Tricia was absolutely amazing with our dog, Cece! She gave her so much love and care throughout her entire week-long stay. She also sent us plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and truly treated Cece like she was her own pup. When we experienced multiple flight delays and cancellations while trying to get home, Tricia was incredibly accommodating and understanding. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable, and trustworthy sitter for their fur baby!”
“Todd took great care of Sunny. He has a comfortable home and it was an exiting time for Sunny to meet new human friends and doggie friends. Todd made the effort to take Sunny on long walks in the park. I’m sure that made Sunny happy. I would highly recommend Todd as a sitter!”
“Andrew and his family took care of my old guy Brownie so well - I do not think my doggie missed me! He was very good at keeping me informed and sent lots of pictures. My dog enjoyed his stay with his new second family.”
“Diana and her family were amazing! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter from Rover and couldn’t have asked for a sweeter experience. She sent several updates with lots of photos of our puppy playing with her kids, on walks, and even learning new tricks. So adorable… and comforting! Will definitely book with Diana again!”
“Tatyana took such great care of our dog, Archie. She was extremely communicative, shared lots of pictures and we felt that Archie was well taken care of. He seemed so happy, we almost got worried he wouldn't want to come back to us!! She was also well prepared with question about his care and really listened to us regarding what he likes and what he doesnt like. She was really accomodating and I would highly recommend her. She is now our exclusive go-to person for taking care of Archie. I just hope she's available when we need her! :)”
“We left our dog Marlo with Derek for the weekend and he was great! He definitely knows his way around dogs and provided us with updates and pics throughout the weekend!”
“I do not know what Katherina could possibly do to make me a happier pet mom. She saved me at the very last minute; she gave the dogs (and cat) exceptional attention; and she is just so dang nice! The most telling thing to me about my dogs is when they are simultaneously happy to have me home, and show signs of not having missed me. Thank you Katherina!”
“Miss Valerie and Nutella are the best!! I think Luna is depressed today because she wants to be at their house.?? Thank you for all the updates and photos. It is so nice to know your pup is in great hands when you are away ????”

Phil and Amanda are the best. Our pugs are excited to see them every day and they go the extra mile to give them plenty of walks and love. They are also super honest. I accidentally booked as overnights instead of day drop in and Phil fixed it for me. Can’t recommend them enough!
Kayla was wonderful watching our young pup. This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone, and Kayla made her feel right at home. She is so quick to respond to messages, sends picture updates and has a wonderful home setup for dogs to feel comfy. I also appreciated that Kayla asked if there were any special requests that she should be aware of when watching our dog. Our dog warmed up to Kayla immediately, which made us feel like she was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Kayla as a sitter!

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 Poolesville 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 Poolesville 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 Poolesville.
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 Poolesville. 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 Poolesville 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.
