“Ebony did a great job with our Rusty. She sent pictures and videos every day. When he had an upset belly and needed a diet modification, she had no problem making adjustments! Thanks, Ebony!”
“Karla did an awesome job boarding our 2 cats for the weekend. She was responsive and provided frequent updates and we could tell our cats were getting lots of love and attention from the photos she provided. Highly recommend for boarding!”
“Jerry was awesome in every way. Very communicative and accommodating. We felt very comfortable with the level of care and attention to detail. We’ll be coming back as regulars!”
“This was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter, and I was very nervous. Diana kindly put me at ease and sent photos (and video!) of my puppy throughout his stay with her and her adorable family. My puppy came back to me clean, smelling fresh, and (most importantly to me) with his temperament unchanged. Highly recommended!”
“Cheryl and her family were super sweet. They took great care of my kitties and I could tell they were comfortable in her home. She sent pictures of the boys throughout their stay so I was never left wondering what was going on. I will definitely book Cheryl again!”
“Bria was absolutely great! She communicated clearly and consistently throughout the weekend, which gave me real peace of mind. When I picked my boys up, they were happy, calm, and clean; always a good sign! My dogs are definitely a handful, but Bria handled them with confidence that was really reassuring. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again knowing my boys are in such good hands.”
“Jeannie took such great care of Otto for us! He looked like he was very comfortable in her home and came home to us very happy. He’s looking forward to his next stay”
“I am sooooo happy that I found Ashley! She's amazing with Gracie and I am fully at ease while traveling knowing that she is being well taken care of. She keeps me updated daily and I so appreciate that she does it without me having to ask. Ashley is now my go-to sitter!!”
“Ellen is a phenomenal sitter. Athena has stayed with her twice and there are always other pups for her to play with and so much space. Ellen has no issue at all maintaining multiple dogs! Athena is always so happy at drop off and pickup, and needs a big nap after her stay from all the fun! We look forward to booking again!!”
“We had a great experience with Rebecca! She took wonderful care of our Labrador, Lexi, over a busy holiday weekend, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure Lexi was well cared for the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Liz & Jeffrey always do a wonderful job taking care of Harley! He is always well taken care of, well fed and well rested. They always share plenty of pictures and videos too!”
“So glad we found Nithya! She was available on short notice, super responsive, and very accommodating. Maestro was exhausted when he got home so he must have had lots of fun with Nithya and her other pups 😊.”
“Annette is amazing. Super kind, and very knowledgeable about dogs. I can tell she really enjoys doing this. I’ll definitely be booking with her every time I need a sitter.”
“Watson had a great time with Esther and her two pups and I felt very comfortable leaving him with them over Thanksgiving weekend! I received daily updates so I knew how he was but I was also able to relax knowing he was well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“I really appreciate Crystal’s timely communication and genuine care for dogs. She also holds a lot of insight on how to provide great care and train for dogs which I value. Crystal is a great dog sitter and would love to bring my pups back in her genuine care and love.”
“Tanya is fantastic! She sent daily photo updates and Yogi always looked happy! Great peace of mind while I was 500 miles away. I would highly recommend leaving your pup in her hands and giving them a stay at her beautiful home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sykesville
We had such a great experience! He took wonderful care of our dogs and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them in his care. He followed all of our instructions, including their feeding schedules, medications, and our special restrictions for Daizy while she is still recovering from surgery. We really appreciated the updates and knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s not always easy leaving your dogs with someone else, especially when one requires a little extra attention, but he made the whole experience stress-free. We would absolutely trust him with our dogs again and highly recommend him!
This was our first time leaving our beloved Cooper with Liz -- and it happened to be for a long stay, during our trip out of the country, for which we needed someone dependable to care for him. We saw the great reviews Liz had, and reached out. She was immediately responsive, offering a meet and greet opportunity so we could all be sure it would be a good fit, and it was! Highly recommend!
We had our rambunctious pups boarded for 5 days with Veronica and family. We will 100% book with them again and I highly recommend them! They communicate very well, send updates and are easy going and patient with them. Definitely a home away from home for our pups!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
