“Haydenn is fantastic! Communicates regularly and our dog absolutely loves him. She is usually hesitant to go with dog watchers but whenever she see's Haydenn she RUNS and pulls me over, very excited to see him. Highly recommend!”
“Roger was GREAT with Chip. He communicated with videos and photos multiple times a day and was flexible with my drop-off/pick up schedule. He is highly recommended.”
“Rebecca is great with our dog. She and her family have watched our dog a few times now and we’d definitely be glad to have her watch our pup again. I appreciate her flexibility and communication with scheduling.”
“Max fue bien cuidado,talvez estaba un poco nervioso era su primera vez que lo dejamos en otro lugar que no es familia pero estuvo bien. Muchas gracias Estela por cuidar a mi querido Max. La recomiendo al 100%”
“Caitlin took care of my small dog at her house when I took an overnight trip away. she sent so many pictures and videos of my dog. having fun, cuddling with her in bed, playing and taking lots of walks! My dog was of course happy to see me when I got home, but I think she misses Caitlin already! I would very strongly recommend. Caitlin as a dog sitter who will love and care for your dog as if they are her own!”
“Noah has a very calming presence and Dolly was wagging her tail like crazy when we picked her up. He let us know how she was doing while we were away and we always felt that she was in great hands. I can see why he has 5 stars!”
“This was our second time booking with Masha and she was amazing with our pup Brownie. Masha was very easy to coordinate with and flexible with timing. Above all, it is apparent that Masha and her family are kind and loving. Brownie has a lot of separation anxiety and Masha was attentive and made sure he felt comfortable and safe.”
“Christine is always my go-to for any short or long term boarding for Oreo! She was flexible with the late pick up time that I had set and also provided updates on how Oreo was doing throughout the days he was with her. I love how there are sometimes other dogs she is taking care of so Oreo has a chance to socialize and play while I am away. Thank you again to Christine!”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Rahel did a wonderful job with our girl Shirley! She sent pictures, gave us updates, and I could tell that our girl was happy! We will definitely be using Rahel again!”
About: I've lived the full dog parent journey. I've trained three dogs from puppies, so I understand the chewing, the zoomies, and the training milestones. I've also cared for senior dogs, including giving medications on schedule. Whatever stage your pup is in, they'll be in experienced, loving hands. I work a hybrid schedule, so I'm home most of the day to give your pup plenty of attention, potty breaks, and company. I live right near a park, which means lots of walks, fresh air, and playtime built into our daily routine. I'm an active person by nature, so your dog will stay engaged and well exercised. On weekends, I'm fully available for boardings. I live in a cozy three level townhome (shared with my brother and lots of love for dogs) with a fenced in yard that's perfect for safe off-leash play. We're a quick five minute walk from Meridian Hill Park.
“Super professional and friendly, I was getting daily updates pics and vids of my pup. Worked with my travel schedule as I need to extend last minute. Overall great experience and Terrence definitely my go to pup sitter in the DC”
“Juliet is awesome!! Sosi had a blast playing with Romeo and running around on a lawn. Juliet sent lots of adorable pics and vids to prove it- highly recommend!”
“Romy and her family were so caring and welcomed our cat so warmly in their home. She had great communication from the very start and wanted to know as much as possible to make sure our cat would be happy and healthy during her stay. She sent updates and photos everyday, and our cat seemed right at home and getting lots of attention, just as she likes. We would love to have our cat stay with Romy again.”
“My experience with Shantell lived up to all of the 5 star reviews! It was my pup’s first time with a sitter and she could not have been in better hands. I know Molly was safe and cared for and had so much fun so I was able to enjoy my weekend. Will definitely be booking with Shantell in the future!”
“Meet and greet allowed us to have the pets meet and plan. Our Dogs stay was great. She fit in easily and was happy to play with their family. Pictures daily were cute. We will book again when traveling.”
“Lizbeth is a great sitter! My pup had a wonderful time staying with her, I could tell that he was very well loved and cared for! I highly recommend Lizbeth if you need a sitter!”
“Diana was wonderful! We had a meet-n-greet prior to booking a stay. I brought my Bella to meet Diana’s dog, Charlie. They got along fine and Bella was surprisingly comfortable around him. I booked a one night stay but Diana also picked Bella up and dropped her off so this was the easiest boarding experience I’ve ever had. Diana also shared many photos through their time together and Bella found her lap to be a favorite spot, which was nice to see. Overall, I was thrilled and will be a repeat customer.”
“Once again my dog had an excellent time with Mac and the other dogs and was energized and happy at pickup. Anticipating some unfinished dog business that might occur on our walk home, Mac tied a little plastic bag around my dog’s leash which was a big help to me and a reminder of how closely he watches the dogs who stay with him. Thank you!”
“Jordan is the best pet sitter we could ever ask for! Our dog always comes back looking fluffier with his tail wagging. We love the “Capone chronicles” which brings us so much joy when we’re away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Takoma Park
Andrew and Adva were great with my energetic puppy! They are super responsive to messages and sent regular updates. They also carefully read my instructions and asked follow-up questions to make sure my dog got everything she needed while in their care. She came home happy and tired! I will definitely book with them again.
Maryjo and Jon were fantastic hosts to Luna. Luna really appreciated this calm and cozy home of pup super-fans (and she enjoyed tearing apart the squeaky toy they lent her!). I had great peace of mind while away on a lengthy vacation that Luna was safe, sound and having fun! Thanks very much.
Sophia was an excellent caretaker of our cat. She posted frequent photos of our boy, ensured he was well fed, comfortable (to the point where he didn't want to leave with us 🤣), and obviously quite happy. She also helped us out during a minor family emergency. Highly recommend her services.
Jayden was extremely flexible, patient, and understanding with the multiple pick up time changes I had when I missed my flight and then had two flight delays on top of the missed flight. It was well into the night and way past my pickup time when I finally was able to pick up Rufus. His response to all the changes relieved a lot of stress.
Aditya and Patrick and great and accommodating! Despite the stay being cut short unexpectedly, they were both accommodating in doing what they can so that Panko can be in the best care. Even though it was an unexpected circumstance, Aditya and Patrick were flexible and helped to make sure Panko can be cared for in the best of their abilities while I was away
Chad was absolutely fantastic! Took excellent care of Enki - who is a shy, somewhat anxious girl, who thrives best when the caregiver knows dogs of her style. And, Chad definitely did. After a few days, she clearly warmed up and came back to us happy and well cared for. Thank you!

There are 8,166 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Takoma Park. About 91% of Takoma Park sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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. 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
