“Our dog Theo (King Charles Cavalier) stayed with Chad and his wife Regina while we were out of town. They were great! We had a meet and greet with Chad prior to booking and he was responsive and communicative from that time all the way through pick up. We got regular updates and feedback throughout his stay. Would definitely board Theo with Chad and Regina again!”
“Nadia was a pleasure to work with, prompt responses, professional and courteous, sent pictures of our dog every day, we will definitely book with Nadia in the future!”
“We are so grateful to Alex and Daniel for all they do — they are such wonderful people and we always arrive home to find a well-loved, bright-eyed, very happy and healthy pup! So lucky to be your neighbors — thank you!!”
“Amazing service! Kamille accommodated a last minute booking with kindness. Thorough updates and 10/10 communication. Kamille took such good care of our senior dog, and I highly recommend.”
“Boarding our dog with Cal and Kelly was a great experience. They were very responsive, quickly set up a meet&greet when requested, and took great care of our pup. They have very thoughtfully set up their home to ensure the dogs in their care are safe and comfortable. We hope to book with them again!”
“Coralis is wonderful and took great care of my dog Kurumi ! I will absolutely book her again. Her dog bean is super sweet and got along well with my dog really nicely (they even played tug of war together !)”
“Based on the photos of her sprawled out and lounging around their home, our 12-year-old pup was very comfortable in Austin & Majid's care! They were kind, professional, and communicative throughout our time away.”
“Love, love, love Jeff! He was so nice and accommodating. I felt Ranger was in good hands when I dropped him off. Jeff sent me pics and provided daily updates. Ranger was in great condition when I picked him up. I would definitely recommend Jeff! I plan on using Jeff in the future!! Leslie”
“Maryjo and Jon were great. They were easy to coordinate with and took great care of our dog like it was their own. Hope to book them for future dog sitting.”
“Stacy did a fantastic job taking care of our great dane, Caroline. She sent updates daily and made sure to address our concerns. Very attentive. Will definitely be booking again with her.”
“Nicole is such a sweet person! Her love for animals by the way she took care of my pooch. She kept me updated and sent tons of really nice pictures. I most definitely will be using her services again!”
“Drea is a great sitter. I always feel confident that my small dog will be well taken care of when she’s with Drea. We get pictures every day and my dog is happy to see Drea at drop off!”
“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“Amani is great and such a sweet soul! She took care of our pup, Beaux, for two weeks. She sent pictures and videos which made being away from him that much easier. She also helped bring our puppy out of his shell by getting him acclimated to dog parks. Seeing our puppy and her son play together was the icing on the cake. We're so thankful for her! She has a client for life in us.”
“Our experience with Erin was wonderful. She really knows how to care for your dog like her own and I could tell my dog Luna had a great time staying with her. She was very communicative and gave updates/pictures through Luna’s stay. Def would go with Erin again!”
“My previous Rover family left the area so I reached out to Aaron and Paweena, who quickly scheduled a meet & greet and asked good questions that left me confident that the would care for my girl. They invested extra time with her to overcome initial homesickness and even let her sleep on their bed.”
“Fany took wonderful care of Barfi while we were away. Our trip ended up getting extended, and she looked after him for almost a month with so much care and patience. She kept him happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She even gave him a bath before dropping him off, which was such a thoughtful touch. We truly appreciated her help and would absolutely trust her with Barfi again. Highly recommend!”
“Rodrigo was a lifesaver on multiple occasions in just a few short days - accepting a frantic last minute booking I had when some plans fell through and being very patient and helpful dealing with unexpected travel delays on my return. Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!”
“Johanna is absolutely wonderful! Our sweet Millie has some extra needs and Johanna was so understanding and went above and beyond to make Millie comfortable in her home. We are so grateful to have found a reliable, kind, and understanding sitter!”

10/10! Boozy loved it, and she sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay. As soon as I dropped him off, I knew he was in an amazing environment because everyone in the house started playing with him right away. Boozy also loved her dog! I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Stacey was wonderful! You could tell she genuinely cared, and I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands with such a caring person. She was patient and understanding of my senior dog’s needs, accommodated her needs and preferences, and had great communication throughout. I would definitely recommend Stacey!
We regularly use Pascaline and could not recommend her more. She is very caring and loving to our two pups. One of our dogs is a bit aggressive and quirky but she’s great with him and both of our dogs love her like a second parent. She is very communicative during their stay and always sends photos and videos on a daily basis. We are very grateful for Pascaline!
Aleyda took great care of our dog Ty - he came home content and happy and well exercised. Aleyda was extremely communicative - we received multiple pictures and texts each day. You can tell that she really loves dogs, gets to know them individually and cares about them. I would highly recommend her and will ask her to sit for Ty again anytime.
This was Penny’s second stay with River, and we could tell that Penny was sad to leave when we picked her up! Penny and River’s dog Lagoona got along so well, and it was such a delight to receive pictures of the two of them. We feel so at ease leaving Penny with River :)
Canoe had a wonderful stay with Anna! I liked and trusted her right away when she suggested that we get our dogs together for a meet and greet first — which went very well — and she was the first dogsitter ever to invite me inside, which was nice and her place is very bright and comfortable. She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of photos and videos during Canoe’s stay. Canoe clearly loved playing with Slick and responded positively to Anna right away. It was a great experience!
Nadia was a fantastic sitter for my older dog Clove. She was very communicative and attentive with learning about Clove’s needs and routine. She checked-in daily with updates and photos, and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up during busy travel days. Clove seemed to really enjoy staying with Nadia and her family and i would certainly recommend her!
Our dog Hazy had a great stay with Michael - lots of walks, picture updates and the coordination for meet&greet as well as drop off was clear and easy. Michael’s dogs were great to socialize with ours who doesn’t often get a chance to hang with other pups. We’d love to use his services again!
Eskayra is the embodiment of a five-star pet sitter! It was our first time leaving Bijou with a sitter and as soon as we met Eskayra we felt at ease. She made sure Bijou felt comfortable in her home and her multiple daily updates were great. Bijou came home a very happy pup! Highly recommend.
Katya was great! We did a meet and greet, and it was clear Lenny felt comfortable in her home and loved her yard. Katya was communicative, shared photos, and kept us updated on how Lenny was doing. Lenny came home happy and relaxed, having met some new friends. We will book again - thank you, Katya!!

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 Takoma Park 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 Takoma Park 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 Takoma Park.
<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 Takoma Park 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.
