“Nadia was spectacular! She walked Ginsburg regularly and kept us updated on her activities, most regularly with photos. She wanted to send more updates, but I shared that it was unnecessary. Periodically would be fine. As a new owner of a 6-month-old puppy, and a first-time boarder, I know that puppy-energy can sometimes be a challenge. Nadia took it all in stride, providing a safe and suitable environment…and assuaging any trepidations we may have had as first-time Rover users. Thx, Nadia!”
“Colleen and her family took wonderful care of my dog. She is a very trustworthy and conscientious dog mom. I appreciate that her home has a fenced yard. She also was able to administer daily high drops to my senior dog. I received updates and photos. Thank you Colleen and family!”
“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”
“Diana and her family took wonderful care of our Gus and provided lots of regular updates during his stay. They treated him like their own and he was very relaxed and happy when we came home.”
“Abigal was very kind with Chiquita, responsive and very communicative with pictures and daily updates on how she was doing. She accommodated a late arrival and a last minute change in pickup, and her care for my pup was visible. Great sitter and would gladly book again!”
“I received lots of adorable photos of my puppy and felt comfortable knowing he was having fun on his vacation! Dogs are always talking with their body language, and he was saying all the best in the update photos from Raven!”
“Our dog Pilot loved his time with Stephanie and her family! She was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly while we were traveling. She has a great park next to her home for the dog to take walks and her house was nice and cozy for him too! Book Stephanie, she’s great!”
“Romy and her family have been absolutely terrific caring for our two dogs. One of our dogs is older and requires attentive care, and the other is a boisterous young dog. Both love spending time with Romy and her warm and welcoming family. She provides photos and regular updates, and the dogs are thrilled (tails wagging and eagerly racing to her door) when being dropped off. We feel very lucky to have met Romy and know our dogs are in great hands in a welcoming home when they are there.”
“Aleyda was a great individual, kept me informed about my puppy. Always sending me pictures of their walls during the day. I really felt very comfortable of leaving my puppy with her. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Bentley always comes home happy from stay at Jeff’s. He provides us with a daily update and photo which we also appreciate, and is always quick to respond should we need to reach him. It’s so scary to leave your fur baby with someone you’ve only met via the internet but we know every time we leave ours with Jeff, he’ll be in the best hands. Highly recommend!”
“Julijai & Alejandra & Eduardo & Luis were lovely to work with. They watched our little lady when we were on a two week vacation and communicated every day with updates. It was obvious that they understood her needs quickly and tailored to her quirks and personality. I’m very pleased and our pup made a new friend! We’ll absolutely book with them again and highly recommend!”
“Faustine was an amazing dog sitter and was super sweet, flexible with great communication skills. We super appreciate Faustine and we would 100% use her again!!!”
“Evan was a great sitter for my older dog, Dempsey! He took great care of him and kept me informed of how he was doing. Evan has a genuine love for dogs and did a wonderful job!”
“Jasmin provided pictures is Sparkle regularly. She noticed he struggled on steps so she informed Md that she was putting up a gate to prevent Sparkle from hurting herself.”
“We used Jeramy as a last minute sitter when our original plans fell through, and we were so happy with the experience! Our dog can be a nervous with new people, but she loved Jeramy and had a great time during her stay. She also sent lots of pictures and videos to keep us in the loop. We will definitely be using her again :)”
“Adi and Patrick are the best sitters I've ever had. So thoughtful and attentive. Always great with handling my dogs particular needs. Whenever she is with them, I am so happy that she's getting the absolute best care, and she absolutely loves them.”
“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”

I wanna give a special thanks to Aaron for understanding and having patience with walnut. This was walnut first time having a dog sitter and he is very clingy to us but Aaron took his time with him and walnut got adjusted pretty well. He sent pictures and videos before I can ask which was reassuring and appreciated.
Jayden was extremely flexible, patient, and understanding with the multiple pick up time changes I had when I missed my flight and then had two flight delays on top of the missed flight. It was well into the night and way past my pickup time when I finally was able to pick up Rufus. His response to all the changes relieved a lot of stress.
Aditya and Patrick and great and accommodating! Despite the stay being cut short unexpectedly, they were both accommodating in doing what they can so that Panko can be in the best care. Even though it was an unexpected circumstance, Aditya and Patrick were flexible and helped to make sure Panko can be cared for in the best of their abilities while I was away
Chad was absolutely fantastic! Took excellent care of Enki - who is a shy, somewhat anxious girl, who thrives best when the caregiver knows dogs of her style. And, Chad definitely did. After a few days, she clearly warmed up and came back to us happy and well cared for. Thank you!
Gabby was such a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of our pup and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. Our fur daughter came home happy, relaxed, and well-rested, which says everything! It was clear she was in great hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Danielle has been our go-to for Oakley for years now. Everytime we leave Oakley with her and Ernie he has the absolute best time! Danielle sends a tons of photos and gives clear updates on Oakley's adventures while we are away. Whenever possible we will continue to ask her to watch our pup!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Silver Spring 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 Silver Spring 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 Silver Spring.
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 Silver Spring. On Rover:
- 86% 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 Silver Spring 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.
