About: Hello, I am here to make sure your fur baby is safe and comfortable while you are away. With 8+ years of experience I have learned that every furry friend is different. Different distractions, different tastes, different attitudes but one thing each furry friend can’t resist is love and attention. Some positive energy is all a friend needs to enjoy the company of a new friend. I will cater to our furry friends as needed and instructed by you. Maybe there is a medication time we need to fit in or even some training you guys are working on. I am more than happy to stay consistent with whatever is going on in the daily routine. I work with all ages and sizes. Dogs and cats are all welcome❤️ Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my daily routine haha. I work from home and I have a lot of extra time to provide love and attention. I am practically home 24/7 and thats the way I like it❤️ I am always available if your fur baby wants to tag along around the house. I have crates if a friend needs to be crated or separated in another room. Always keeping a friendly calm environment. I live in a 3 level home with a nice yard for some exercise. Also, the neighborhood has a nice trail for some walks.
““Absolutely amazing experience! caring, and genuinely loves the dogs. From the moment we walked in, I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby in Lanese care. I received updates and could tell my dog was having a great time. My pup came home happy, tired, and excited to return—which says a lot Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe and loving doggy daycare”
“Thank you so much, Kelly and George. Although it wasn’t a long stay, it was so nice to know our pup was in such wonderful hands while we were away. Anyone in need of help with their pets, please reach out to them for their care.”
“Great sitter! Highly recommended. She accepted my last minute request, was understanding and flexible with me having to drop off later than expected, tended to my timid pup's need for some individual human attention with it being her first time in daycare, and sent me pictures and videos of my pup during the day. It was very reassuring and calming for me, because I was a nervous mama worried about her pup's first day of daycare and first time away from mama. She also praised my puppy for going potty outside (my puppy is still learning) and reported that my puppy had no accidents in her home! You can tell that jazmin genuinely loves animals and understands that they each have unique personalities. Thanks Jazmin!”
“Liz and Jeffery were amazing sitters for my sweet Sadie. I was in the area for work and found them to watch my dog during the day. They went above and beyond to make sure that Sadie was comfortable and well taken care of while I was at work. They truly treated Sadie like she was part of their own family. Sadie was always so happy to go to doggy day care in the morning. If I am ever back in the area, I will definitely book with Liz and Jeffery for any type of care they provide.”
“My puppy goes to daycare at Ashley's house once a week. Ashley takes really good care of my puppy and keeps me updated with photos and how things are going. She is also very quick to respond to my requests.”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I provide more than just pet sitting — I offer a second home for your furry loved ones. From daily walks and feedings to cuddles and playtime, every pet is showered with so much love and attention. Whether it’s senior pets needing gentle care or energetic pups who love adventure, I tailor each visit to meet their unique needs. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I always communicate clearly so you feel at ease while you’re away. Because pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. 🐾 I stay busy driving for Uber and caring for dogs full-time. I have a super flexible schedule so if you need me to take care of your dog on a short notice if I’m not already booked, I’m happy to help! I’m devoted to giving your furry loved one plenty of attention, affection, and all the snuggles they deserve! 🐾 I live in a very safe and dog friendly environment. I do not have a fenced yard, however, my community is very dog friendly that has a park right behind my house and walk friendly paths to take your fur baby on. I also care for cats as I grew up with both dogs and cats and have experience taking care of little kittens and pups to seniors. If you’d like me to check in on your fur baby at the comfort of your home, please feel free to reach out so I can coordinate a time where I can come and give your fur baby some loving care 💕
About: I’ve owned cats for 30+ years. I helped care for a family dog in my young adulthood for 4+ years. Our family just started dog sitting for friends when needed and all parties involved adjust well to bringing new pets temporarily into the home. Even though we do not have our own dog we love and enjoy dogs. We are flexible with the type, age and size of dog. My kids and I love going on walks and being out in our big back yard. Having a dog join us for these times just makes it even more enjoyable! We understand that a pet is a part of the family and therefore we will treat your pet like part of our family for the duration of their stay. I am a stay at home mom. My schedule is flexible and we are usually not out of the house for more than a couple hours at a time and this is just occasionally. We have an excellent yard that any dog would go crazy for. I have young kids who will love on and play with your dogs. I am happy to go by any instructions you give me on how best to care for your pet. I am flexible in my schedule. I am a stay at home mom. This allows me to be available for your pet and their needs. We will treat your pet like they are part of the family while they stay with us. My kids and I will engage with them throughout the day by playing outside/inside and going on walks.
About: I have grown up with Pitbulls and Frenchies my whole life so I am confident that I can take great care of your beloved pet! I work from home and will be with your lovely dog all day (unless I need to go out to run an errand) so no need for you to be worried that they’ll be alone! I prefer to crate any dogs that are not mine while I am away from the home just to make sure everyone has their own space. If Dog is not crate trained, then I will place them in a room if I need to leave the house.
“I cannot say enough good things about Janay. After a previous less than optimal experience with boarding, I was very nervous about finding the right person for my dog, Grizzly. He’s a sweetheart but also very strong, so I needed someone who could handle him with confidence and care. From the very beginning, Janay put all my worries to rest. She was patient, attentive, and truly took the time to understand Grizzly’s needs. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, and I could see how happy and comfortable he was in her care. She kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I picked him up, he was relaxed and happy—such a contrast to his last experience! If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, and amazing with dogs, I highly recommend Janay. She gave Grizzly the care he deserved, and I’m beyond grateful!”
“I really appreciate Robin for accommodating my anxious puppy during my visit to Maryland. She was incredibly patient and found safe and effective ways to manage my dog’s tendencies to try to escape due to her separation anxiety and kept a close eye on her, allowing me to attend my family's events with peace of mind. By the third visit, my dog was much more comfortable and playing with the other dogs. I look forward to using Robin's services when I am back visiting Maryland.”
“Ruth provided excellent service and was flexible in meeting my schedule. She is very friendly and quickly responded to my text messages with all questions answered. She shared her awesome home with Loki for the day and he thoroughly enjoyed himeself. I will definately contact her for the next time I need a pup sitter. Thanks Ruth.”
“Alexis is GREAT! My lab mason is high energy, and suffers from some separation anxiety. I’ve never used a rover for these reasons. Well my concerns have been relieved. Mason had a GREAT time staying with Alexis. He came home smiling, wearing his new bandana (thanks Alexis!), and ready for a lil nap. Already planning to use again in the future. Book with confidence!”
“My Jessie has separation anxiety, which I is why I bring her to daycare. She did very well with Lidia and Lidia's sweet, mellow dog. I will definitely bring her there again.”
“Brittany is the seriously best! She took care of my 2 year old labradoodle, and it was clear from the photos that my dog was having the time of her life in her big backyard and welcoming environment. Thank you, Brittany!”
“Beth and Jim took great care of our little girl today. And Dory had a great time playing with Pearl today - despite their size and age difference! I appreciated our meet and greet and the updates I got from Beth. Happy to have found them!”
“Aviah was so nice to accept a last minute daycare request. She has a large area for the dogs and a wonderful fenced back yard. We really appreciated the time she took with us when dropping off our dogs, the care that they received, the communications, and photos. Highly recommend! Very professional!”
“Charvé was a life saver with a last minute request when my other sitter arrangements changed. She was warm and welcoming and she kept me updated. My dog also had a blast meeting new friends.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - The Highlands
can’t say enough great things about these two! They came through for me in a sliver of time and made sure every single one of my requests was taken care of. The whole process was smooth, professional, and stress free, ESPECIALLY with everything being so last minute. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and their owners. If you need someone reliable who will go above and beyond when you really need help, this is definitely the person to call!
Alexis was so wonderful! It was our pup's first Rover experience and she communicated extremely quickly and gave us all the info we needed. He had a fabulous day, we got photos and a full report after and he will be going back soon! Thank you Alexis, would definitely recommend to a friend!
I had such an amazing doggy day care experience with Makaela! I had some last-minute work things come up and she was super flexible and understanding when I needed to drop off my dog Cash for many hours during the day. Cash loved staying at Makaela’s for a couple days and was always well taken care of. I enjoyed reading Cash’s detailed report cards and seeing his pictures from each day. Cash and I loved our experience with Makaela so much that we’ve already booked her for more dog sitting! Thanks Makaela!!!
Ruth provided excellent service and was flexible in meeting my schedule. She is very friendly and quickly responded to my text messages with all questions answered. She shared her awesome home with Loki for the day and he thoroughly enjoyed himeself. I will definately contact her for the next time I need a pup sitter. Thanks Ruth.

Jazmin was responsive and accepted my last minute request. She sent photos and videos while my dog was in her care, which I really appreciated since it was the first time she had been with anyone besides family. I would definitely use Jazmin’s services again.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your The Highlands commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,839 sitters in The Highlands, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
