“Lilian and her husband treated our slightly difficult, older dog just like one of their own. So much care and attention was given to him. He was exhausted when we got home from all of the social time and fun! And with multiple updates per day, I had no time to worry if he was doing well. Highly recommend and our family will use again if the need arises!”
“Tanita and Terrence were amazing sitter for our dog Ace while we were away. They updated us with pictures and videos and were always prompt with their response. I would definitely recommend and use their services again.”
“Aaron & Tia did an AMAZING job watching my Bella. They were so warm and welcoming and I left knowing she was in good hands. Thank you both for the care you gave to her. She had fun with her new fur friends as well! Thanks again! 😊”
“Meeting and greeting Ja’Lynn was very pleasant! Communicating with her about caring for Ace was very important to me. She responded with experience, understanding. She provided great care - just what I was looking for! Also, she provided photos of Ace daily. I will definitely be requesting her to care for again!!!!!”
About: I’ve had experience in pet sitting for minimum 10 years. Attention to detail and care for pets needs come first. Restrictions if any are considered as well. Morning, mid day, and evening walks are a must. As well as feeding, as frequent or less as needed. Pets will remain hydrated and have ample play time and relaxation time throughout the day. I offer a fenced yard with a seperate play area inside of home dedicated to pets. There will be ample space inside, or outside of home for pets to flourish and plenty of dog parks available if preferred.
“Entrusting Coco to Taylor and Lynnett proved to be an exceptional experience. With our regular sitter unavailable, we coordinated a meet and greet, and we were immediately struck by their professionalism and the instant rapport Coco developed with them and the other fur babies. They remained attentive throughout the stay, providing consistent photo and video updates. We sincerely appreciate the compassionate, high-quality care you provided, treating Coco as part of your own family. We will definitely use them again! 🩷🐾”
“Well, well - I am appreciative of this particular sitter! Her and her husband met me in the parking lot with my pets (Puppy/ Kitten). Very cordial, respectful and professional! I thought I had everything in place but realized when I left that my bag of just purchased food (Wet) was sitting on the passenger side floor. She took care of me and I reimbursed upon pet retrieval of which she brought to me due to their time constraints! :-) Updated me with multiple welfare pics of both of my kiddies. She took such great care of them, I thought I'd have issues with them coming home! Lol! Reasonable price for GREAT care! Will rebook again in the very near future. Plus they are close to me in terms of location! ChatGPT analysis - It sounds like you had a fantastic experience with your pet sitter! It's great that they were so thoughtful and went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of—even handling the food situation without any fuss. Plus, the fact that they kept you updated with welfare pics is a huge bonus, especially when you're away from your pets! It really shows how much they care. Sounds like you're all set to rebook, especially with the convenience of location and a reasonable price for top-notch care. Do you have any particular things you're looking forward to when booking with them again? Or anything you’d want to add to your next experience? She plays the drums! - Wow! I approve of this review! Thank You!”
“Anna was very pleasant, understands dog care and was easy to arrange things with. My 2-year-old doggo enjoyed playing with her dogs and I think he had a good time. I would definitely be pleased to book her again.”
“My dogs had a great time staying with Brian! He provided me with daily updates with a photo or video included, which was much appreciated! My boys were well taken care of which made my business trip much easier! I would not hesitate to use Brian again.”
“Henley loves Randi and her family. They are attentive, caring, and have new treats for her to try, and toys for her to destroy lol. It is truly great have a place that you know will love and care for your pet much like you would.”
“Kelly is amazing! She took really goood care of our Sophie while we were away. She sent plenty of updates and photos. So we were very informed about everything that was going on with our girl while we were away and that made me very comfortable with her being with Kelly. I highly recommend Kelly, she will make you feel at ease while you’re away from your fur baby!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Monica. Very professional, her attention to detail to ensure the safety of my fur baby and others was outstanding. Communication skills was excellent, when I had to reach out to her she responded quickly and made sure I understood everything. The main thing that I loved. was the report card!!! yes, she will send you a report card to let you know how your pet is doing plus picture. A+ will definitely use again.”
“I don't even know where to begin! Jessica and Nick are kind, gentle people with a lovely home and yard! My (crazy) dog was in a spa environment! Jessica sent me pictures daily and my dog was obviously feeling at home and comfortable! My fur buddy takes medicine 3 times a day. Jessica's experience with pet medication made me feel comfortable that he would get his meds on time and safely! Jessica and Nick are a blessing! We will 100% use their services again in the future! It's great to be able to relax on vacation knowing that your furry family member is in such competent hands!”
“Rae is a kind and attentive person, and she made Oliver feel safe and comfortable during his entire stay. This was his first boarding experience not with family, and he had a good time. Will re-book!”
“This is the third time Chelsea takes care of my baby. Because she wasn’t going to be able to care for her the entire time, she recommended another sitter for the rest of the booking, which was also awesome, and they both coordinated to deliver Pepper to the next home. She takes great pictures and sends updates every day. The entire family was very loving with Pepper and Pepper just loves and enjoys staying with them.”
About: I have had my baby Dakota for 6 years, ever since she was a pup! I have seen all stages and loved her through them all. I would love to provide that same love to your baby when you are not around! After having Dakota, I definitely understand the term “a dog is a man’s best friend”. She has loved me through so many stages of life and helped me overcome a lot. I cherish her presence and company like no other. I would love to care for your baby as if they were my own while you are in need of time away. I work a 9-5. I will care for your pet in the morning before I leave and as soon as I return home. Then take them to the park to have a fun time and socialize. I live in a single family home. I will ensure your baby is cared for and receiving their exercise. For example, walks, activities outside, or even allowing them to frolic outside.
“Once again, Seyla is amazing taking care of my boy, Ace. Ace immediately recognized him and jumped out of the car. I love that Ace feels safe. Ace was on medication this stay and Seyla made sure he took his meds timely and stayed on schedule all while comforting him. Seyla treats him like his own.”
“Leslie was amazing with Trixie. We had a little incident with our first visit but she was very reassuring and made sure I feel informed as well as Trixie is taken good care of. I’d 100% recommend her fur babues”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved while their family is away.

I always make sure they’re comfortable, supervised, and surrounded by a calm, loving environment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Charles
This was not our two fur babies’ first stay with Tanita & Terrence, and once again, we couldn’t be happier! They cared for our babies for a week and kept us updated with pictures and videos, giving us peace of mind while we were away out of the country. Knowing our babies were in loving, dependable hands meant so much to us. Thank you for treating them like family! We highly recommend Tanita & Terrence and we will be happily booking them on a regular basis! 🐾🥰❤️
Atiyana was great! She is extremely personable, clearly loves looking after animals, and is very accommodating. She sent me pictures each day with updates on how my dog was doing, and it was one thing I didn’t have to worry about while I was away on a trip. I would definitely use her again in the future.
This is the first time Rocky stayed overnight outside of our home. English did a superb job of easing the anxiety for both Rocky and I. When I picked him up he was happy and playful with everyone. A clear sign that he was well taken care of while I was away. I would definitely recommend English to any family in need of care for their fur baby while away.
My pup seems to have had a wonderful time while I was gone, based on the daily (sometimes twice daily) pics and sweet videos I received. Made me feel very comfortable and happy knowing that he was in a good home and in good hands. Will definitely book again in future
We had an amazing experience with Shondell! She took such great care of our pups and kept us updated with frequent photos, videos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciated her communication and attention to detail and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Meeting and greeting Ja’Lynn was very pleasant! Communicating with her about caring for Ace was very important to me. She responded with experience, understanding. She provided great care - just what I was looking for! Also, she provided photos of Ace daily. I will definitely be requesting her to care for again!!!!!

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Saint Charles can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Saint Charles 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 Saint Charles.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Charles. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Saint Charles 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 MD 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
