“I received updates throughout the day which I greatly appreciated. I was concerned about leaving bandit because she had a large dog bear and it was working when we pulled up to her house, but she assured me that he would be fine and he was she sent me pictures throughout the day with updates on how he was doing she showed me pictures of bandit with her children, and I like that. She also showed me pictures with bandit and a little Yorkie. I would definitely recommend her and would use her in the future. I ask if she was available on Monday because I also need a sitter for Monday, but she said she had too many dogs already booked”

I have experience with all ages, sizes, needs, etc. Pet care as well as being a stay at home mom is full time for me. I want to offer the best care possible.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had one of my own. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also have experience helping at a dog kennel, where I’ve assisted with bathing, feeding, supervising playtime, and making sure the dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and strive to provide patient, loving care that helps them feel safe and at home. Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m home throughout the day caring for dogs and running our grooming business located behind our house. I do leave briefly in the morning and again in the afternoon to care for my horse, but I’m otherwise home and available to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and enjoy time outside. Every dog that stays with me is treated like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, patience, and care. I strive to provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment so both you and your pet can feel at ease while you’re apart.

I follow routines exactly and make sure your pet feels at home, even when you’re not. i’m available whenever you need me! i’m a part time server at a restaurant, so we can come up with a schedule that works for us both! and of course your pet. i will follow all instructions left to me! i will put your pets needs first, and make sure they are happy and content at all times!
About: Hi there! For your consideration, a human who is fit and able to be there for your pet(s) when you can't be. I have been taking care of animals my entire life - it starts early on a farm. After many years in retail and then the lumber industry, I have decided to work for myself and advance in pet care where I truly thrive. From mice to horses I've done it all! Pet care has now become my full-time job and will remain that way as long as business keeps coming. I am very dedicated because I want to continue working with animals, which is my true passion. Currently I have five very sociable dogs who love making new friends. They vary in age, so it's a great environment for young dogs to socialize. I also have 13 chickens who are used to our dogs and are always willing to meet new ones, and lastly we have one cat who tends to do her own thing. My backyard is not fenced however I have multiple runs set up for dogs who are not recall trained, but we do have a fenced in deck around our pool where the dogs have free reign.
“Jackson's first day with Megan & Vincent was full of sunshine, friends, & fun! Thank you for all the photos & updates throughout his stay. He came home happy & would like to come back to play again! :)”
About: Welcome to my home! All dogs must be house trained, friendly, and up to date on their vaccinations, flea, and tick prevention. I also ask that pets are well-behaved and comfortable around people and other animals. I have a loving, pet-friendly home having over 15 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds from playful puppies and energetic big dogs to senior pets. For me, pets are family, and I treat every furry guest who stays as one of my own. The home is warm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of room for play and relaxation. I have a safe outdoor space perfect for walks, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, belly rubs, or quiet cuddle time, I make sure they get the right mix of activity, affection, and space. I offer daily walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays with plenty of love, attention, and care. I also handle feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and medication if needed. Since I work from home, there’s always someone around to provide companionship and ensure your pet is never left alone for long. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate weekday and weekend stays with ease. Pets who come into my home become part of the family, surrounded by kindness, attention, and a whole lot of love. I work from home so can ensure pets are fed, loved, bathed if necessary, and walked accordingly. I walk twice a day, morning and evening. Your pet’s safety and comfort are top priorities. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, a safe space where every animal feels cared for and secure. I have a friendly standard poodle who roams freely on the main level and basement, providing gentle company for visiting pets. I maintain a structured environment with eyes on pets at all times to ensure their well-being. If your pet is crate trained or prefers resting in their own space, please bring their crate so they can feel comfortable and at ease during their stay. I ask that all visiting pets are house trained, friendly, and up to date on vaccinations, flea, and tick prevention. Please also bring your pet’s bed, toys, and comfort items to help them feel at home. My goal is to create a peaceful, safe environment where your pet can relax, play, and feel loved throughout their stay

“Justin and Stephanie were amazing with Charlie. From the moment I met Justin I knew I had nothing to worry about!

I really appreciated how kind and considerate they were of my highly anxious sensitive pup and took great care to make him comfortable! Thanks 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 Rising Sun 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 541 sitters in Rising Sun, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
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.
