“Justin and Ashlyn were absolutely amazing!! They cared for our two pups like they were always a part of the family! They sent fantastic updates, the pictures were wonderful, the outdoors time couldn’t be better, and it was such a relief knowing our dogs were in great hands with their family. Would highly recommend and we’ve already looked at requesting their services again for availability. If you’re looking for a sitter to take care of your dogs and provide amazing care for your life’s busy demands, Justin and Ashlyn are the best choice!”
“Great couple that welcomed our boy Edward into their home. Very cozy vibe. Provided detailed info about their experience with Edward. Definitely going to book again 10/10!”
“Sharon is a Gem!! She went well out of her way to take care of my senior diabetic dog and can’t thank her enough!!! This was the first time I left my dog with a sitter after being diagnosed diabetic and I didn’t worry at all because I knew he was in good hands. Sharon genuinely cares about your pup and she is one of the nicest people I have met. Sharon thank you so much for taking great care of Rudy so I could enjoy my son’s wedding weekend !!”
“Alyssa was phenomenal! My dog can be a bit energetic (understatement…) upon meeting new people, but Alyssa stayed super calm while my dog ran in circles around her house until she finally wore herself out. Alyssa was kind and gracious and sent lots of pictures and loved on my crazy pup like she was her own! I truly cannot recommend her enough!”
“So happy we found Fran on Rover! She was super flexible with our drop-off/pick-up times and gave our dog lots of love. Good communication and it was nice to do a meet and greet before booking!”
“Thank you Abigail and family for watching our goldendoodle during the holidays! It was a great fit and she returned home happy and healthy and we appreciated the schedule flexibility and daily updates. Thanks!”
“Jonathan and Carla did such a great job with Captain. They sent pictures and he was obviously having a grand time. They also agreed to keep him on short notice when we had a family situation come up. Really appreciated their help.”
“Such a great experience! Surprised Scout was willing to come back home with me. Erin and her husband were great with communication and pictures. They have a big yard and their own really friendly goldens. Will definitely book again.”
“Connie was amazing with sassy she kept us informed of how sassy was settling in and she sent pictures daily. She took her own walks, gave medication if needed and sassy felt immediately safe with her. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Had everything packed up when it was time for us to pick her up.”
“Kathy, her husband Gabe and pup Jasper were so great! Our pup Lou can be shy and they made him feel comfortable and loved. Kathy was super communicative and was wonderful to work with.”
“Kaylie and Jonathan took excellent care of our dog Maple while we were out of town for 12 days. They provided tons of photos and updates. Maple looked like she had a wonderful time. Thanks so much!!”
“Great communication from John throughout and super flexible which we appreciated! Our dog clearly had a blast with him and came home very tired :) We'll be back! Thanks again.”
“This was Yami’s second and (unfortunately) last stay with Alita & Timothy. Yami and I were in SC temporarily on military orders and I can’t thank you both enough for the best care you have given Yami in the short time you’ve known her. I know Yami is going to miss your amazing backyard and beautiful home so much! As I am going to miss having someone so reliable and communicative of my very special pup. Alita & Timothy are such great caretakers. I can’t recommend them enough. They do well with administering medications and do well with introducing pups to each other. Yami is so thankful!”
“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!”
About: I have always had a home full of fur babies. Cats & dogs all rescued. I love animals and have been taking care of them for as long as I remember. I am reliable, responsible and very good at communicating and always provide daily updates with pictures. I am semi-retired and have a shop on Etsy and TPT. My schedule is very flexible. I look forward to caring for your fur baby. I will treat your pet like they are my own, with love and respect. Consistency is key. I can't wait to meet your fur baby and shower them with love!
“Carly and her husband took incredible care of Lucy while I was away for a full week. I was honestly nervous about leaving her for that long, but they completely put my mind at ease. They treated her like their own, made sure she was comfortable, and kept her happy and well cared for the entire time. When I picked Lucy up, she was in great spirits. She was relaxed, happy, and clearly well loved. That meant everything to me. It’s such a relief to know she was in a safe, caring environment. I’m truly grateful for the attention, care, and kindness they showed her. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and loving pet care.”
“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!”
“I can’t explain how much I appreciate this stay! Oh my goodness. Received videos every day and my baby was sunbathing and happy as a clam. Thank you a million times. Very accommodating and understanding. Thank you endlessly! 100% would rebook.”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Otis and Clemmy! She updated me every day with pictures and videos. She was very thorough when I dropped them off about going over their habits. I will definitely be booking again!!!”
“Lunas stay at Caitlin’s was great! She had a blast with Chloe and was so cared for while we were out of town! Caitlin sent updates and pictures every day and I know Luna was in good hands!! Thanks for taking such good care of my girl.”

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
