“Julijai and her family took such amazing care of our dog Samson. He was dealing with stress and anxiety in the beginning from separation but within 2 days he was part of the pack. Communication was exceptional and we love the videos that Julijai puts together of him each day to give us an update. It was clear that Samson got so much love from Julijai, as he was very much still wanting her affection when we picked him up. It was such a great experience for us on our first long trip (1 week) and we will definitely be repeat pet parents.”
“We needed care on super short notice and Eric came through in a big way. He was so warm and welcoming to Raea and she took to him immediately! He facilitated playtime with her and her new furry friends wonderfully and provided videos and photos each day. She also got lots of exercise which we appreciate! We would definitely recommend him and plan to use Eric for our future pet needs.”
“Masha and her family were so amazing for our boy, Milo. They kept him busy, kept up with his schedule, and were very attentive to any special needs that might be there. Masha also made us feel secure by updating us throughout the day and sending us photo updates. Milo was very comfortable with them, and we will definitely be using their services again in the future. It’s good to have someone you can trust with your fur baby who cares and loves them.”
“Our puppy, Rocki, was absolutely well cared for by Josh & Andres H. They were so attentive, kept him safe and well entertained during his stay. We got lots of photos while on our vacation. This was Rocki's first overnight and I know he would love to stay with them again.”
“Bianca is fabulous. She is kind, loving, competent, caring. She was attentive to my tiny, anxious, elderly dog's needs. Bianca adjusted and adapted what I'd shared with her so that it worked in her home, e.g., my dog wouldn't eat with the same set-up as I use so Bianca tried out different ways until my dog finally ate. I was curious to see how Bianca's cat would be with my dog. At the meet & greet they calmly sized each other up. During the stay Bianca shared a lovely photo of my dog snuggled on her sofa with her cat on the armrest. Nice, mellow companions. I was thoroughly comfortable leaving my dog in Bianca's care and will absolutely do so again when I go out of town and can't bring my dog with me.”
“Kristy had watched Maya during the day a few times prior to staying with her for a couple days. As always, she was very communicative and easy to schedule with. She was very accommodating for the pick up as I had to have someone else pick her up. Highly recommend as always.”
“Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.”
“Our 3 1/2 year old husky, Skye, had a great first stay with Carrie and her family. He was welcomed so warmly to the family and made himself right at home. He came home calm, happy and tired - all signs of time well spent! And Fozzie is a wonderful playmate and sweet boy!! Overall, a great experience for our family.”
“Bria was very sweet. She helped me out even when my flight was canceled and held on to dog for an extra day! I will absolutely be booking again. Bria is a very responsible and caring dog sitter! Thanks so much!”
“Nadia, Benjamin and their sweet boys always do a good job taking care of Gracie. She gets plenty of walks and she loves their backyard. She’s always relaxed and happy when she comes home.”
“I'm glad to have made the right choice as to someone watching my Givenchy. That choice was Crystal, a professional when it comes to dog sitting, knowing their personality, what they eat, and health. As a doggy parent, I was calm due to Crystal's updates and pics. I will definitely call on her again.”

“Ms.Tanisha was amazing with my girl Bella! She recognized that Bella gets a bit anxious when away from me and allowed her time to get adjusted with her household. She sent a bunch of pictures, updates, and fast replies. If Bella had to stay away from home again I would choose her! Bella was definitely in good hands :)”
“Joseph and his wife are amazing. My pup has the absolute best time staying with them and playing with Odin (who btw is the sweetest dog). When I drop Chewie off for a long stay, I know he will be well taken care of, and loved like he is at home. What more could you ask for?”
About: When I was little I struggled with finding companionship, as an individual with Asperger's syndrome, so my parents got me a dog. Through this experience, which has lasted over 20 years, I've developed the skills necessary to present myself as a well-versed caregiver (empathy, engagement, and attentiveness). You (as an owner) are your dogs best companion/ buddy and parent. I'd take high honoring fulfilling this role temporarily. I am looking forward to making many fellowships and communities along the way! This is my full time Job. I have a open schedule. please let me know what you’re dog schedule is and I will do my best to accommodate there daily routines and schedule. thank you! I have 3 dogs I take them outside about 2-3 times, also I take my Dogs out in the backyard to play also. whatever I can do to take care of your dogs or how to spend time with your dogs or look out for your dogs, i’m able to do to the best of my ability, whatever I can do to help I will.
“Chad was great with our dogs! We boarded our 2 dogs for 6 days. Our 2 dogs can be a bit of a handful between their stranger danger and their separation anxiety. By the end of our trip, both of our dogs were completely comfortable with him. Chad was very communicative with us as well on how they are doing with daily check ups and photos of them. I definitely will recommend him anyone who has travel plans and needs a dog sitter. Thanks Chad!”
“Rebecca was great as a sitter, and we ABSOLUTELY plan to request her services to watch our dog (a pit boxer mix) again in the future. We were a little nervous after not needing a sitter for several years, so we were a bit rusty on the whole experience. Rebecca was patient, listening to instructions, asking thoughtful follow-up questions, and being responsive throughout the stay. Her dog, Fern, is also a sweet pup and appeared to get along great with our dog. We got an appropriate amount of photos and updates. The neighborhood offers access to plenty of walking and romping opportunities which worked well for our dog. He can’t wait for his next visit!”
“Kyle was an amazing and attentive sitter for our old girl Phoenix. We had a vet appointment the day before and she had received more shots than we anticipated and it did not sit well with her. Kyle was so kind and not weirded out by the sudden bowl issues our pup had under his care and kept us updated all the time. We so appreciate that Kyle was so kind about this and made our wonderful pup comfortable. Definitely consider Kyle if you want an amazing time for your four legged loves!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Spencerville
Eric was great with our dog. Very important to us was that he was very flexible with our schedule as opposed to some other rovers that are very strict with the drop off and pickup times. He was also very communicative, answering messages quickly. Our dog clearly had a great time with him and his family including his two dogs.
Jessica was wonderful with Lola! Lola can be very anxious and shy, but Jessica made her feel comfortable and cared for. She sent lots of pictures and videos, which we absolutely loved and appreciated. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Lola was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Jessica!
Patricia and Miguel were wonderful! You can tell Miguel truly loves dogs and they have a wonderful backyard for them to run around in. My dogs felt comfortable almost instantly and they were great about sending me pictures while I was away. They will definitely be my go to sitters!
Melvin and his wife are just fantastic! Our Kiko is still very hesitant around other dogs, and really hated life the one time we had to board her. So glad we found Melvin, who took care of her with compassion, and seemed as interested in her welfare as we we are. I'm sure that Kiko will be overjoyed the next time she gets to spend a vacation with the guy we are already referring to as Uncle Melvin. Book with confidence.
Minelis was absolutely amazing with Nina! She provided wonderful updates throughout the stay and even went above and beyond by practicing Nina's commands with her. Nina was so happy, calm, and relaxed the entire time. Finding a sitter who makes my fur baby feel so safe and content gives me total peace of mind. I will definitely be booking with Minelis again!
Our 1-year-old pup Boomer had an amazing stay with Lauren. She kept him happy, active, and well cared for the entire time. He got to enjoy lick mats, a 2-mile walk, several play sessions, and lots of playtime with other pups which was perfect for burning off his energy. He does have a bit of separation anxiety and I was nervous about his first Rover stay, but it is clear he was comfortable, entertained, and treated like one of her own. She sent daily updates with lots of pics and was very responsive. I really appreciated the attention and care Lauren gave him, and I would absolutely trust her with him again. Highly recommend!
Abigail helped me to understand why my dog makio is so anxious and stressed out related not used to be apart from her mom. I didnt know the anxious or stress actually hurtful to her health and Abigail found some way to help to cut makio’s stress or disract her. Abigail gave makio her favorite sweet brown cow doll. She is best !!
I couldn’t decide between 3 stars and 4 so I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Alexia seemed to do a good job with the dogs. We actually thought she would be our forever sitter being that she was close by. However, communication was difficult with Alexia. During the time the dogs was with her it took a very long time for her to get back to me on check ups. She eventually did and everything was fine but the worry it caused while I waited was concerning. My babies came back in one piece and seemed happy so I was happy. After the stay was over Alexia reached out to me with a concern. I reached back out to her multiple times but assumed at this point she was just ignoring me. I tried calling and texting with no response. I can’t address a concern if there’s no communication.

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 Spencerville 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 Spencerville 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 Spencerville.
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 Spencerville. 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 Spencerville 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.
