“A wonderful environment for my pup to enjoy! The family was so sweet and the house has an expansive yard to explore. I felt comfortable leaving my pup, knowing that he would be in good hands in a loving home. Thanks so much!!”
“Sharon was amazing! We felt confident with her watching our dogs. We were truly able to relax knowing they were in her care. Highly recommend. I would rebook Sharon for any of my future trips!”
“Abigail and her family are amazing. My dog feels so at home and has a ball. We don’t have to feel guilty leaving him behind because he has such a great time. Wholeheartedly recommend!”
“Carly was such an amazing host for our pup! She sent photo updates and kept us in the loop. She was super accommodating and her communication was great. We would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kaylie and Jonathan are great! Bauer had so much fun and I got tons of updates/pictures of him. They even went above and beyond with giving him a bath before he came home. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: I grew up with 2 dogs in the house and got my fur baby 11 years ago. I’ve been taking care of my own and helping other for over 10 years. Love being outside and letting our four legged family members get their much needed play time! Stay at home mom with a flexible schedule to help with walks/potty breaks during the day. Available most weekends to help sit and possible weekdays depending on how long of a stay is needed. I have an 11 year old Shepard mix who loves the company of another fur friend. I also have a medium size dog crate if needed.
“I have used Rover a lot over the years and I am not exaggerating when I say that Taylor is the best Rover we have ever used! She took incredible care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She sent so many thoughtful updates with pictures and took them on long walks. I could tell they were happy and relaxed by how much they loved snuggling with her on the couch! Taylor is a true dog lover and so kind, I can’t recommend her more!”
“Hands down the best sitter we’ve ever had! took such incredible care of Frankie. Between daily walks, outings with her dog, and her sweet kids giving him so much love, Frankie felt right at home. He normally freaks out from separation anxiety when I pick him up, but he was completely calm and happy. That spoke volumes! Absolute green flags all around—we’ll definitely be using them again whenever we can.”

“Gidget is always happy to arrive at Genny’s!! The updates and pictures I get are the best and I know my baby is always in good hands and get the same care I would give. Thank you”
About: Our family raised and cared for our 15 year old Miniature Schnauzer baby until she recently passed the rainbow bridge. We have opened our home to puppies and adult dogs since her passing and have loved spoiling all of the babies big and small, young and old! I work from home and am able to provide constant love and attention to your babies inside the home. I also am extremely flexible and can come visit your babies at the times you request in your home and spend time with them outside or out of their crate. I have a fenced back yard and a neighborhood with sidewalks where I can walk with your babies if you want them to stay with me. If you choose to keep your baby at your home I will make sure they have love, exercise and time outside of their crate.
“Gracen and her husband did a fantastic job watching our dog for the weekend. He must have been very active all weekend because he slept for an entire day after we got home! Gracen was very responsive and extremely kind and helpful. We absolutely will be booking with them again!”
“I can't think of a better place to board Caesar than with Rebecca, her family, her cats and her dogs! I had 100% faith and peace of mind that he'd be as loved and cared for as he is at home within 5 minutes of meeting them and seeing how they all interacted. We'll definitely be back next time we need a sitter!”
“Kelly was such an amazing fit for us. We had a last minute cancellation with another sitter and she was able to help us just hours before our plane took off. She sent us updates everyday and took great care of our pup. Thank you so much Kelly! We appreciate everything!”
“Shannon was great - she communicated well and sent pictures, worked with Karma's separation anxiety and resulting potty issues until she found solutions, and even took her for a run. Her dog, Scout was a champ through all this. I genuinely appreciated Shannon's efforts while I was out of town. I will use her services again.”
“Jennifer was friendly and communicated often. May was safe and seemed to enjoy herself during the stay. Side note: driver must provide ID at the neighborhood's front gate to enter.”
“Jessica was great with Roo and Charlie! She sent us pictures throughout their stay and made us feel completely at ease leaving them. Both dogs seemed to get along really well with her pup, and she handled Roo’s extra puppy energy without any issue. We really appreciated the updates and would definitely feel comfortable booking with Jessica again.”
“Our pups had a great time with Kathy! She made us feel at ease leaving our 11 year old girls in her care. She provided great photo updates during our time away. Thank you for taking such good care of Piper and Ella!”
“Jennifer was so great with Aspen! I was worried about leaving him with a new sitter but Jennifer kept me updated with photos and videos and was quick to respond to texts. I would definitely use her again if going out of town!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Rockville 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 Rockville.
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.
You and your Rockville 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 SC 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.
