About: Hi! I’m Haley, a stay at home mom and lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family not just animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time knowing they’re in caring hands. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family that rescued animals, and my mom has worked in the veterinary field her entire career. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom to my three little ones, I spent years working in animal hospitals, where I gained experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. That background taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when it comes to caring for animals. At home, we have three playful kittens and a friendly dog, so your pet will be staying with someone who truly understands their needs. We also have a large backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I know every pet is different, which is why I do my best to stick to their normal routine. Whether that means feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, cuddle time, or simply giving them space to relax! I’ll care for your pet the way you do at home. I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps reduce stress and makes them feel comfortable. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and updates while you’re away so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d be honored to care for your pet and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.
“Daphne absolutely LOVED hanging out with Brittany and her family. I was a little nervous leaving her with a new care provider because of her anxiety, but Brittany’s family made sure she got the love and attention she needed and I’m so grateful for them! Thank you Brittany!”
“First Doggy Day Care through Rover. I think it went well. My dog had some anxiety; it was just a matter of him getting used to his surroundings. The next visit should be great. Monica is great!”
About: Hi I’m Lindsay! I love spending time with our extroverted dog Zoomy 🐾 and with my cousin’s two cats Windex 🐈 and Squirt 🐈⬛. Zoomy would love to have some friends come over to play. I am a super responsible and clean person and would love to care for your fur babies while you’re away! Right now I have very flexible scheduling so send me a message! I can do daytime hours or evenings, just let me know. I’d be happy to work with you and your schedule. We have a big yard with an invisible fence for your dog to run around. Plenty of space inside the house to play too! I will make sure to give your dog plenty of water and potty breaks and meticulously follow any instructions you leave me!
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, from birth to the end. I have given medication also, so if you have an animal with medical needs, I can handle them. I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available weekdays and weekends, whatever suits your schedule. I have a fenced yard for your dogs. I can care for cats in my home. Whatever your needs are for your pets, I can handle them.
About: We treat your pup like family—just like our own! We understand how important it is to know your dog is in the best hands. With a safe, comfortable home and a fully fenced yard with plenty of shade, your dog will have space to play, relax, and feel right at home. Our love for dogs means we provide personalized care, ensuring a happy, stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend! Pet care is at the heart of our daily routine! Our family of dedicated dog carers includes full-time and part-time workers, ensuring that someone is always home to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime in our fenced yard, cozy relaxation indoors, or supervised socialization, your dog will always have loving companionship and a safe, comfortable environment throughout the day. In our home, we follow a loving and consistent routine to ensure every pup feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Each day includes morning walks—rain or shine—followed by feeding and plenty of outdoor playtime in our fenced yard. If it’s raining, we bring the fun inside with an assortment of safe dog toys and interactive play. In the afternoon, we head out for another walk, and if applicable, a trip to the doggy park for extra social time. Treat time is always a highlight, and in the evening, we wind down with a final walk before tucking your pup into bed with soothing music for a peaceful night’s sleep. If your dog is more of a lounger and loves to relax while watching TV, we’re happy to accommodate their favorite pastimes, too! Your dog becomes part of our routine—and part of our family.
“Linda was able to accommodate Conchita on such a short notice, and I am so thankful she did! Conchita had such a good time with Linda, her family, and all her pets. I am so glad that her sweet dog matched my baby's energy. So happy with the experience she provided for her. Thank you Linda!”
“Onayda is an amazing sitter. She is super friendly and treats Chloe as her own. She sends pictures and videos throughout the day to show how Chloe is doing. I would highly recommend Onayda to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Great care and very responsive :) Johanna was flexible with timing and when we had to adjust and add a second dog. She was really quick and easy to communicate with. Everything went well and we’d easily book her again :)”
“It means soo much to have a safe space for my dog, my baby, to stay and play with humans and other dogs. Thanks Tanita and Terrence for such great and attentive service!”
“We had a great experience with Roderick and his family. Since our dog is still pretty new to us, we were a little unsure how he’d do, but he warmed up to them so quickly. It was clear he was comfortable and well cared for the whole time. Roderick and his family were kind, welcoming, and treated him like one of their own. We’d definitely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Tarressa did a great job watching our dog! While we were gone, she di a great job staying in contact with us and sent pictures and videos. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable with her. Tarressa is very trustworthy & caring. Definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Republic
Cooper’s first stay with Nikki went wonderfully. She took him on a neighborhood walk and even a car ride—two of his favorite things—and kept us updated along the way, which we really appreciated. When he got home, he jumped right on the couch and fell asleep, clearly exhausted from all the fun. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Port Republic commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
