About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, growing up in a home with multiple pups of all sizes. From feeding and bathing to long walks and playtime, I’ve always been hands-on in making sure they’re happy and well cared for. In addition to dogs, I’ve also raised birds, turtles, and fish, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at home. I currently work from home so I’m able to provide physical comfort and stimulation via petting and playing with toys. We also have a dog park where I can take your pet for off leash running around and fetching. I have experience providing oral medicine for dogs. I allow dogs on furniture and free roaming in the house, but if you have a crate and wish to bring it just let me know. Please provide any instructions on feeding schedule or items.
“Ronda was absolutely great! My pup warmed up to her immediately and I could tell by the end of her trip, Ronda was a fave! She took great care of pup and kept me up to date on her walks and behavior. My dog sometimes gets separation anxiety, but ate and enjoyed all her time. She was also super flexible with me! Highly recommend!”
“Paula agreed to a last minute booking to look after my newly adopted and skittish pup for an extended day trip. Can’t say enough about her patience and caring nature for a pup in need. Thank you, Paula!”
“I was completely new to Rover as I’ve always been able to leave Aldo with family members he knows but the time finally came where I needed outside help. I honestly dreaded this and felt bad for having to leave Aldo behind BUT Cassandre made this process INCREDIBLY easy by providing reassurances and confidence that Aldo would be taken care of. Detailed updates on Aldo were provided through out the day along with videos/photos showing his progress of being in a new place. From the moment I dropped Aldo off to the moment I picked him up I had full confidence he was taken care of like one of their own ☺️”
“Laura was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures everyday. Nellie had the most fun with Laura and her family. I loved how they really adopted Nellie into the family for the week!”
“Murphy had another wonderful stay with Sheyanna! She sent us pictures/videos each day and our pup was smiling in each one, so we know she was taking great care of him and he was enjoying himself. Highly recommend!”
“Camille was awesome! She sent pictures everyday showing how Pepsi was doing, which I must say, he had a great time with her. She was super easy to work with, flexible and understanding. I strongly recommend Camille for her service. I’m confident that once you work with her, you will become a permanent customer to her. Thank you for your great service, Camille!”
“My dogs loved staying with Vanessa. They’re a bit high strung but she accommodated them, let them settle at their own pace, and kept me updated. She took them to the park to get energy out, cuddled with them on a rainy day, and even gave Jack the toy he loved so much while with her. They came home happy and tired from a great weekend!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing. She sent me a lot of pictures of Shaggy and kept me up-to-date of his progress. She let me know what he ate and how he did throughout the day super communicative. Best experience I’ve had with Rover.”
“I cant say enough good things about Myrna. She took exceptional care of my senior pup and went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable, and loved during his stay. My dog has some incontinence issues and can be very attached to his people. Myrna was incredibly understanding, accomidating, and patient with his special needs. Thank you!”
“Laura and her family were great. She sent daily updates, responded quickly, and was able to work with our schedule. Brady looked happy and well cared for. Would definitely board with her again!”
“Kira was an absolute dream to work with. I've been on the road with my dog for 10 months straight and have used many sitters across the country and she was by far the most reliable and communicative. My dog almost didn't want to come back home with me! But in all seriousness, Kira was professional and accommodating when I had to shift to an overnight last minute. She's just beginning her journey towards a career working with animals, so she is highly qualified to deal with all types of situations. Cannot recommend highly enough !!”
“The girls had an awesome time with Amy and her family! They love spending time with her! Definitely recommend Amy to care for and love your fur babies while you are away!”

“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lucky is the best. This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog with anyone for such a long period of time. Lucky made it so easy. The meet and greet went well; The dogs got along very well. Excellent experience! She sent updates and pictures. We’re super excited to have found her and will definitely use her again. Lucky is now our go to person whenever we need boarding.”
“Radka and her family were very loving and caring towards our puppy. Our puppy was so happy in their care. I'm very appreciative that Radka shared pics every few hours. We're so happy we found her. I'm leaving my puppy with her every time I have to go out of town.”

There are 808 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rockville. About 93% of Rockville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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 VA 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
