“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!”
“Jordyn was great with our Bernedoodle! I think our pup might actually be depressed now that he’s back home! 🤭. We can tell he was well-cared for during our 11 days away. Thanks again, Jordyn!”
“We rebooked with Katherine and Marc after a good fist stay a couple months ago. Less than a week before her scheduled stay this time, our dog tore her ACL. They cared for her so well and provided me lots of updates.”
“Aaron and Tia will forever be my go to person for pet-sitting. I have a 4 month old French bulldog and he seems to be at home with them and I love how they communicate and send videos and pictures of my fur baby while I'm away. They definitely are educated about pets and what is needed, because they educated me about how to train my puppy. They are very welcoming and family/pet oriented.”
“Leslie was amazing with Trixie. We had a little incident with our first visit but she was very reassuring and made sure I feel informed as well as Trixie is taken good care of. I’d 100% recommend her fur babues”
“Megan is absolutely amazing. I never worry for a second if my 2 babies are okay. She is very flexible with her schedule and always there when I need her. My babies always come back home very relax and I can tell they were very much loved. She is very flexible with her schedule and always there when we need her. The best sitter ever!! We will be back soon.”
“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”
“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 can always tell that my dog has an amazing time at Michelle’s when he stays with her and her family! Thank you for always taking such great care of our Mugi”
“Spenser loved staying with Danny, Damaris, and Thor! They are such kind and caring people, and their own dog Thor is absolute sweetheart. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in a loving home. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dog-loving sitter!”
“Rosalina did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. I really appreciated her communication and the care she showed. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Erwin made Oreo feel like she was apart of the family. I was nervous about leaving her at Erwin when I saw all the dogs (big and small). Oreo has never been around many dogs so she is use to us. Erwin allowed Oreo to warm up to him so he gave her some love and attention to start. Once Oreo felt comfortable, Erwin introduced her to the other small dogs. Erwin gave daily updates (videos included). The updates helped ease the stress of being away from Oreo. The last day Oreo was there she received a bath so she was returned fresh and cleaned. I appreciate Erwin and his wife and I will be seeing them again. Thanks for everything.”
“Lilian was amazing. She treated our fur baby like she was her own. She kept us informed and sent us pictures everyday. Our fur baby had a vacation of her own while we were away. Lilian will definitely be our go-to for our baby!”
“Paula is absolutely fantastic! I got the best photos and regular updates and Arlo looked so happy. She was so generous to accommodate a last-minute request. Arlo told me he's looking forward to his next stay with her :)”
“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”
“This was our 2nd time with John and Joanna. This time we brought our small dog over for an overnight stay. Our pup was nervous, but Joanna really knows how to properly introduce a newcomer to her “pack.” She was patient and kind, and our pup did wonderfully well - she’d never been away from home before, so this is a huge endorsement! We will definitely be staying here again, and I’d highly recommend John and Joanna!”
“Maizie loved her time here and was more upset she had to leave than she was to see me! I will definitely be using Jennifer again in the future as she did an amazing job with providing updates and clearly gave Maizie plenty of love!”
“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Potomac Heights
Mr. Romero was wonderful. We were in a pinch and nervous about getting a quality dog sitter on short notice, but thankfully Mr. Romero was available. Throughout our dog Dexter’s stay, Jesus was very responsive to my messages, sending photos and videos. He was clear with procedures for drop off and pick up. Dexter was happy to be in the Romero house while we were out of town. We highly recommend!
We love Mickey! He’s trained my dog continually and kept my dog during the weekend to get him more used to other dogs and everything has gone well! We will continue training for life! Mickey is laid back and explains everything sufficiently for my family to use tactics for our dog.
Jesus always takes incredible care of our golden retriever, Teddy. We originally worked with Jesus to train Teddy as a puppy, and now he’s the only person we trust to board him when we’re out of town. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Teddy is with someone who truly cares about him. Jesus sends us plenty of photos and videos throughout each stay, so we always know Teddy is having the best time. The biggest sign of all is how excited Teddy gets when we drop him off. He is always so thrilled to see Jesus. I highly recommend Jesus for boarding or training needs.

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 Potomac Heights 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 Potomac Heights 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 Potomac Heights.
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 Potomac Heights. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Potomac Heights 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.
