“Theo had a great time with Rodney and Marissa. They were great with communication. They sent photos during play time. Theo looked as if he was going to miss Rodney when we picked him up”
“Had to go out of town for the weekend and left my little dog with Felice and Tyler. They have a nice fenced yard and dog friendly house which is great. You can tell they love dogs and are very knowledgeable about them. My dog, Sophie, is not used to being around other dogs so I was worried she would not fit in, but it was unfounded. We had a meet and great a couple weeks beforehand so she met their dog and sniffed around the backyard. I got periodic updates and photos, which was reassuring. I will definitely take her there in the future.”
“Steven is the “dog master”. Okay that is actually how I have him listed in my phone book! He often has several dogs on busy weekends but it is clear that they all get plenty of attention. Most importantly, Steven reads dogs very well, he thinks and “speaks dog”..He is just very tuned in -it is a rare talent. My dog Jake has spent numerous weekends with Steven and comes back happy, healthy and secure. And anytime I drive him over to Steven’s neighborhood, he gets so excited. Clearly there is good stuff going on here! (Never an issue of any sort except that Steven is popular with dog owners, so reserve early…)”
“We’ve always had great experiences with Lingli! Our dog is always so happy to see her, which says a lot. She takes great care of her, and I always get plenty of updates while we’re away, which gives me peace of mind. We really appreciate how well she cares for our dog and would definitely recommend her!”
“This was my first time using Roover and I can say Jessica surpassed my expectations for a sitter. I was hesitant to leave our puppy with just anyone, but after meeting Jessica I knew he was in good hands. I look forward to using her in the future.”
“Melissa was wonderful! We received great pictures and updates during our stay. Drop off and pick up was very easy. She was able to manage our large dog and small dog with ease! Our dogs enjoyed Melissa, their stay and playing with her two girls. We will definitely use Melissa again!”
“Nikki seemed very knowledgeable sweetheart how to take care of our dog's anxiousness and energy from the get go. It helped a lot that she had a fully fenced yard and no pets of her own when we booked her. From meet and greet to pick up, she made it easy for everyone. We specially appreciated her updates and our dog truly enjoyed staying at her place. We also appreciated the tips and other feedback she gave us, as we are first time pet owners and our dog has some unique needs. Definitely will use her services again.”
“Robin went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt at home and loved! This was my first time leaving my fur baby with someone other than family. Needless to say, I was an emotional wreck. As we were leaving, we thought our dog would start crying and scratching at the door, but no, she followed Robin inside immediately. Robin took many videos and pictures throughout my dogs stay and sent them to me knowing I was a bit nervous. This calmed my nerves and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I’m going to definitely leave my baby with Robin when I go again!!!”
“Ruth and family made us worry that our two dogs wouldn't want to leave their vacation. Walks, children, room to play indoors and out, late nights, and lots and lots of affection. We will definitely leave them here again!”
“Just picked up my pups from staying with Alex for the weekend. They had a great weekend playing with Reese. Alex sent us pics of them and they were so relaxed and happy. They look forward to staying again!!!”
“Thank you photo for watching Bailey on short notice. He looked well rested and had a great time with you. You were quick to respond and sent pictures and updates. I appreciated the consistent communication. Next time Bailey needs a sitter I will call you.”
“Chrissy is a great choice when looking for someone to care for your pet. She is communicative and keeps you informed with how your pet is doing. She is super kind, friendly, and clearly loves animals. Your pet will NOT be lonely!”
“Took great care of my older dog. And my older dog has issues with food and people but regardless of those issues she still took great care of her and gave good updates.”
“Kelly and her husband are simply amazing. From booking to post-pick-up, their communication was clear and timely. During Leo's stay with them, Kelly sent me photos, videos, and update comments numerous times throughout the day. It made a huge difference for me and my daughter (9 yo) who missed Leo very much during our trip. They were so warm and kind to Leo, and I could tell that they truly cared for the pet they were looking after. They took Leo to exciting walks, let him play off leach in their backyard, and cuddled with him. I know they've done all of this because they send me so many pictures. Leo looked very comfortable and content in the photos and videos. I highly recommend Kelly and her husband!!!”
“Danielle was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog during his overnight stay. She was attentive and sent me picture updates frequently. I would definitely book her for another stay.”
“I felt very confident that my dog Asher was well taken care of at Jena's house. She sent pictures daily which showed him having just as much fun as we had on our vacation away! I look forward to using her in the future.”
“We have booked with Meagan and Chris multiple times, we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for care for their pup. They are both super friendly and are brilliant at keeping us in the loop with photos and updates throughout each stay.”
“Lorna was great as usual. She sent photos and videos of our pup while we were away. Every time I see one come through I just get a huge smile seeing him happy and at ease. Definitely still recommend”
“Virginia and Steven were great with Bonnie. They were very understanding and patient when my travel plans slightly changed and I needed to change my pick up time. We had a small issue with Bonnie’s food, and they went out and found a replacement for her!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stevenson
Ariel was amazing! Dory is a nervous dog but she really enjoyed Ariel and was excited to go back after her meet and greet! We had to extend her stay due to travel delays and Ariel was so accommodating. I always felt bad leaving Dory at day care because I knew other dogs made her nervous so I am so thankful we found someone that we can leave her with without worries!
We recently had our dog board with Dimitri for about 5 days. This was our first time with Dimitri and we were very happy. We felt confident that he could manage our dog, who is on the larger side (60 lbs), very strong, and prey driven. He was very responsive to my texts and sent me lots of pictures. He even gave our dog a bath, when he found a tick on another dog in his care. We would definitely board with him again!
Tracy watched our dog, Lucy, over Thanksgiving and we had a great experience. We especially appreciated the chance to do a meet & greet beforehand. We’ve had a lot of (previous) experiences where Lucy returns from a stay with a raw spot or scratching a lot. The only thing she came home with from Tracy’s was a bag of treats and a big smile!

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 Stevenson 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 Stevenson.
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.
You and your Stevenson 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.
