“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.”
“Brittany was great! She took such good care of my dogs and kept me updated with pictures. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. Super friendly, reliable, and clearly loves animals. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Very happy with the care of our baby 😁 Jay is really picky on who he takes medications from, and Jasimine was the exception. He was comfortable enough to trust her from the beginning (first time in 3 years since he has been comfortable with anyone right off the back!) Very pleased and happy with the care he received.”
“Paul & Christine are fantastic! Great communication and flexibility and our dog loved them. She got tons of exercise and was relaxed and happy when we picked her up. Will definitely book again.”
“Marianne and Nick did a great job taking care of Paris. They followed the instructions I left to the tee. Sent frequent updates with pictures. Paris was very happy and I could tell she enjoyed her time with them. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“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.”
“Charve didn’t have many reviews but she automatically proved that she’s super experienced with dogs! She was flexible with the plans as I prepared for my travel. She greeted my dog with love, sent pictures, and even prepared some pumpkin for her to soothe her anxious bowels. She sent updates and was super attentive! 10/10 I’d book again”
“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”
“I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time but Jessica was absolutely wonderful. She sent me pictures and videos every day to help me feel comfortable and so I could see what my puppy was doing. My puppy was having so much fun with Jessica’s dog and got along so well with the other dogs Jessica was keeping that I did not think she would want to come home. It was a wonderful experience. I felt like I left my puppy with one of my family members. I will definitely use Jessica again.”
“My 4 month old Cavapoo was well cared for. All routines and care plan discussed were followed and he got lots of love, play and walks as appropriate. I was consistently updated about his wellbeing and schedule and had no worries at all. Highly recommend Kristy for dog sitting and boarding my your little one in her home. Will definitely rebook! Thank you so much.”
“My Blue came home happy! Marliez was great, she sent tons of pictures and gave me reassurance my fur baby was having a good stay. I would definitely book with her again!”
“We’re so grateful for Danielle! She took amazing care of our dogs, Skye and Java, while we were away. She stayed in regular communication, sent plenty of updates and photos, and gave us such peace of mind. It was clear our babies were comfortable and well-loved. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”
“This was our 2nd time with this family and they treated our pup so great! He’s still getting used to being around other dogs and people and they made sure he felt welcome! Their dog was also playful and kind with Pan.”
“Cristhian did a great job watching my dog Nami for a day. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving her and he sent plenty of photos as requested. He kept me updated on her food/bathroom habits which was much appreciated. Thank you!”
“Alison and Brian took wonderful care of my pup! Their communication was quick and they sent multiple photos and updates daily. They met with us beforehand so that I could see their home and yard, and my dog could meet their two pups. They definitely took great care of her!”
“My second time booking with him, and once again he took great care of my two dogs! I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Definitely recommend and will book again! 100/10”

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.

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.
