“Riley was fantastic with both of our dogs - very attentive to our older dog's particular eating habits and equally caring with our energetic young pup. We felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care and would happily book with her again.”
“Thank you for keeping my Jojo. She always looked happy in the pictures which made me feel very comfortable. I especially enjoyed having the constant updates throughout the day. We will definitely return.”
“The best recommendation is from our dog, Finnegan. This was his second visit to Luba and James, and as soon as we got out of the car he knew where he was and was wagging his tail like crazy and pulling on the lead (which he knows better than to do) to get inside. Would definitely recommend them for your dog.”
About: Does your pet need special attention? Strong pup who needs a confident handler? Leery feline with trust issues? I got you. My own dog is a “foster fail” who was considered a “yellow” dog who was very untrusting of people. Now he is a lazy lapdog with no cares in the world. Lots of work to get there but I’d love to help anyone else who struggles to ring “the right” sitter for their stubborn pet. I have volunteered at the local spca to walk all the dogs (with pitties having that special place in my heart). Looking to build a new work/life balance focused on taking care of animals so I am free most days and times of the day. Weekends, daytimes and evenings welcome. Each animal is different. Some pets need time to warm up so I approach animals with respect in their own homes and take the time to gain their trust. I tend to get down on the animals level and let them approach me.
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities my whole life. I’m especially comfortable with large, energetic dogs and have experience handling dogs with different temperaments and needs. I previously worked at a dog kennel, where I gained hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs, keeping them active, and making sure they were safe and comfortable. I’m confident with long walks, playtime, basic training, and keeping dogs engaged and exercised. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs, so I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I am currently unemployed and struggling with mental health so i have all the time in the world to walk, or sit your pets. my cat is the only thing that helps me get out of bed every morning and hopefully your baby’s can help me too. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely get some outdoor time and play. I keep the area secure and supervised, and I’m committed to providing a clean, calm, and safe environment for every pet in my care. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and specific needs.
“Debra was the greatest and cared for our dog Ben as part of her own family. We were concerned for needing such a long stay, about 2 and a half weeks. But Debra was wonderful at staying in touch with updated pictures and texts. Some were even holiday themed with Ben dressed for Halloween. How cool is that. She is highly recommended by us.”
“Really enjoyed the updates and pictures. We were unable to visit before our booking. Jessica and her daily updates put us at ease leaving our pup. We will definitely rebook with Jessica.”
“Renee is an outstanding sitter. Bailey loved her stay and wanted Renee to fall in love with her. Trust me with Bailey's personality, it could have gone a dark way with her. Now she is Aunt Renee who let's her sleepover, watch TV and eat snacks. Just like home. When I met Renee and Storm, I knew that Bailey was in for a good time. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my furbaby. We'll be back! Highly recommend”
About: Since my teenage years, I have taken care of various pets, cats, dogs, fish, turtles, frogs, birds, rabbits, and hamsters. In Denver, Colorado, I was assistant manager for a pet shop. We not only provided retail, but we provided play space washing, and grooming. I am looking forward to working with friendly only pets. I currently work my digital editing business part-time so I have ample time to add a pet in my daily routine. I am available daily from 4:30 AM until 10 PM. My preference would be to pet sit where they reside, but if a pet does need to stay with me overnight, they can expect a friendly, quiet, playful, safe place with three levels. There's also a dog park walking distance.
“Charlie had a great stay with Bria! She was very attentive to him, he loved getting to play with her dog, and I appreciated the daily updates. Will definitely book her again next time!”
“Alison is great! Our dates of availability didn’t quite meet up but she allowed my friend to drop off and pick up my dog so Benni could still stay with her while I was on vacation, Lifesaver! Benni has a great time hanging out with her and her dog. So much so, that Benni comes back to me expecting the same service lol I have to step my game up.”
“Danielle is simply amazing! She communicated often and made Moe feel like he was at home, as we were leaving Moe fan and gave her a good-bye hug. He likes it there. I will use her again. Thank you so much!!!!!”
“Sabrina and Ryan are fantastic. We have used them twice now when we go on vacation. They send pictures of our dog everyday and he’s always looking like he’s having the best time.”
About: I've had pets throughout my whole life, but as I got older and moved out of parents house they become very expensive. So, instead of getting my own pet, I use this site to engage myself with the precious animals. I currently work full-time through the week. I fit pet care time in on the weekends when I have nothing planned. I can totally do potty breaks after work hours. I care for the pets by giving them attention, playing with them(outdoors/indoors), feeding them, taking them outside for potty breaks, and cuddling because animals needs love too.
“I highly recommend Bryce! Hazel had such a great time during her stay. Bryce kept us updated by sending us photos and took such great care of her with so much love and attention. It meant a lot to us, especially since this was Hazel’s first time staying away from home. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands. We will definitely book with Bryce again!”
“Best dog sitter we have had. Kept our puppies active with walks and plenty of play time and provided videos and pictures the whole time. Was available on super short notice when we had an unexpected emergency.”
“Amanda does an amazing job caring for my Charlie. She provides picture and videos as well as updates frequently. Whenever my dog stays with her I know he is in good hands!!”
“James is our go-to for pet sitting. He's more than flexible and always takes great care of our pups. Even when one of our pups had stomach issues James was very proactive and kept us informed multiple times a day, and he went above and beyond with feeding. Thank you, James.”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
