“Very happy with the care of our baby 😁 Jay is really picky on who he takes medications from, and Jasimine was the exception. He was comfortable enough to trust her from the beginning (first time in 3 years since he has been comfortable with anyone right off the back!) Very pleased and happy with the care he received.”
“Shane and Brittany were fantastic! They watched our Great Pyrenees, Odie, for two weeks and sent us plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. Odie came home happy and tired, and it was clear he was very well cared for. They’re a wonderful family, and we will absolutely use them again. Highly recommend!”
“Anthony and his wife were absolutely wonderful! I immediately felt a sense of comfort when meeting them and they were able to accommodate my last minute booking. They took such great care of my almost 2 year old Maltipoo. Their pup, Moonie is also so very sweet and well mannered! I received consistent updates and photos during my trip, Demi had such a great time! Thank you for being so kind, patient and opening your home to her! We will definitely be back!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I read all of the reviews for Shuling and was very impressed with what previous customers had to say. I requested her services and she accepted, even though it was deemed a last minute request. She was very communicative, responded quickly to my questions and made booking with her easy. Upon drop off, she was waiting for us outside and greeted us warmly. Throughout Loki's stay, she provided multiple pictures of him daily. She put our hearts and minds at ease knowing he was in good hands. I had a request to extend his stay a few more days and she didn't hesitate to accept. Made the change to the dates easy. Upon picking him up, she was waiting outside with him and he was happy and healthy! I will definitely use Shuling again!!!”
“Where do I start… oh! New pet parent, so I was extremely nervous but from the moment I met Nichole all my worries melted away! Her family made my Paris baguette feel right at home. She sent pictures, and gave updates with funny commentary. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“So grateful for the care she provided our girl Quinn, who is a ball of energy, especially with other dogs. She kept me updated and treated my girl like the diva she is. I would recommend her and will use her for future bookings”
“Charve didn’t have many reviews but she automatically proved that she’s super experienced with dogs! She was flexible with the plans as I prepared for my travel. She greeted my dog with love, sent pictures, and even prepared some pumpkin for her to soothe her anxious bowels. She sent updates and was super attentive! 10/10 I’d book again”
“Becca was wonderful. We just adopted our dog 2 months prior to our trip and this was our first time leaving her with anyone. We were really nervous, but Becca's natural love for dogs put us right at ease; she was so kind and patient with our dog. She sent us daily updates and pictures - my daughter loved it! Knowing that our dog was so well cared for, really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation!”
“I did a meet and greet with Jahcarre a few days before boarding. We discussed my expectations for my dog while in his care. My dog is crate trained. Jahcarre offered the use of his extra crate, so I greatly appreciated not having to bring her big crate from home along with her other items. The day of drop off was easy breezy. He sent me pictures during her stay. Overall, I was pleased with the care he provided. I would recommend his services.”
“Lanese was absolutely amazing!! She was able to watch my dog on such short notice due to me having something randomly come up that lead me to go out of town for a few days. Lanese text me multiple times everyday with updates & pictures of my dog & it made me feel so good knowing he was in great hands while I was super busy. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone I know & will look to rebook her if I ever need her again in the future!”
“Katie and her husband Anthony were the perfect hosts for our Sadie girl! She had so much fun and many cuddles (her favorite). Katie was very responsive, easy to book with and schedule a meet & greet, and sent us updates every day. We definitely plan to have her care for Sadie again!”
“Goose stayed with Brittany while I was on vacation and she was incredible! Constant updates without me asking, and Goose looked so happy and well cared for. I’ll absolutely book again — highly recommend!”
“Morgan is the absolute BEST! We don't know what we would do without her and our sweet Frankie absolutely adores her. She treats her like family and provides such amazing peace of mind when we are out of town.”
“Eli is the best!! I love the care he shows Skittles. I didn’t send enough food for my dog and Eli purchased more food for my furbaby!! The videos and pictures always made me feel good that my Skittles was doing just fine!! Eli will always be my first choice to sit for my dog.”
“Kathryn was awesome! She took such good care of our dog, Bear. She sent pictures and it reassured us while we were away! Drop off and pick up was convenient and easy. Bear felt right at home quickly because of Kathryn’s ease and attention. I would definitely book Kathryn to watch our dog again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Gate
Elizabeth was wonderful with our pups Penny and Reggie, and she was great with communicating to us how their days went and how they were settling in, etc. She also sent tons of pictures and you can tell from the pictures that the puppers were having the times of their little lives! We’ll definitely be repeat visitors!!
Finn now has 2 new human friends and 2 new dog friends! Tanya and John were WONDERFUL to Finn and kept us updated daily with detailed notes and videos. It is so comforting to know that Finn is being well taken care of (and having a good time) when we are away. Highly recommend.
We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of Kodak and made sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. She sent us lots of pictures, and he looked so happy in every one! He also got along wonderfully with her family, which made us feel even more at ease. Her communication was great throughout his stay, and we were extremely pleased with the care she gave him. We would absolutely trust her with Kodak again and highly recommend her!
My high expectations are always met when I leave Lexi with Fidel. There is always good communication between us and he is very attentive to my needs. On this last stay, they administered medicine to my dog for allergies with no problems. I also get lots of pictures of Lexi playing with old and new friends. I am extremely blessed to have him to watch Lexi, even at the last minute. Great job always!
Wish I could give Amy 10 stars!! She cared for Luna like we were family, including family pics and updates and being so truly sincerely kind and caring. I can’t possibly imagine a more ideal caretaker for your beloved pet. So thankful for Amy - and her own cute pup who was a wonderful playmate to my own pup!
James is always wonderful with my girls! He is easy to work with, offers super convenient extras like pick up and drop off, and treats them like family. I appreciate the thorough and excellent communication as well as the amazing photos he sends while they are in his care. They are not the easiest dogs, but he acts like they are and they love him. I never worry when I know James is taking care of them.
Lanese was absolutely amazing. She was responsive, flexible, and kept me informed every step of the way, which gave me real peace of mind. This was my first time using Rover, and she made it such a great experience. She took great care of Bluchi making sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures too. Lanese is truly a beautiful person and already feels like family. I would definitely book with her again. Five stars all around highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 South Gate home-away-from-home, 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 South Gate.
<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 South Gate 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 , 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 .
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.
