“Aaron and Tia are hands down the best ever. They are super friendly loves dogs and I can’t even thank them enough how they have helped me in last minute dog sitting but just the care they show with my dog. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter that just loves animals Aaron and Tia are your people this is my second time and they are 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ You won't go wrong”
“Zulma took such great care of my two Shitzus Louie & Zoey. I got regular photo/video updates which I really appreciated. She asked for permission, which I gave, to bathe them, they were most likely smelly due to the weather. Can I tell you when we picked them up they were so silky, shiney and soft! Even more so than when they come from the groomers. I really must ask her what is the product she used! We will most definitely book her again!”
“Anna is amazing!! She was so good with our pretty anxious pup and sent us a lot of pictures throughout the weekend — we were always at ease knowing that Ellie was comfortable and having a great time. Anna’s two dogs are also so sweet, and we loved that Ellie had companions all weekend. If you live in DC, definitely worth driving out to Anna’s place for your pup to escape the city for a bit and hang out with this wonderful sitter!!”
“Alana is AMAZING!!! She had my guy Buddy for a full week. I was so nervous leaving him that long however I received text updates, pictures and videos daily. She has a great space so my guy felt at home and was even able to get socialized with her beautiful baby Bella. Highly recommend booking with Alana. If you’re looking for a caring, attentive, and safe sitter, she is it! Thanks again Alana and Bella ??”
“We are so happy with how well our three dogs were cared for by Tanita and her family. It was our first stay with them and all went very well. We'll be back.”
“Thank you for making my first experience with this app such a positive one! As a fairly new pet parent, I had never used this app and didn’t know what to expect. Beauty was very responsive, sent videos and updates, and I could tell my dog really loved his time there. Will absolutely book again.”
“Rae cared for Kenzo with so much love and attention while I was away on my business trip. I’m deeply grateful for the peace of mind she gave me, knowing he was safe and happy for all four nights!”
“Chelle was very attentive to Joey and made sure that he felt loved as well as at home. She communicated with us each day even twice a day! I am so glad that I decided to use this service for my Joey!!!! Thank you Chelle, I so appreciate you!!!”
“Meeka and her family did great with Blu while we were away. We received a proper amount of updates and pictures while we were away, and Blu looked safe and happy in them all. I would definitely book with Meeka again!”
“After reviewing several profiles, Randi was an excellent match for our fur baby. Our first meeting was a great first impression which put me at ease with leaving Justice with a new sitter. Randi/husband took great care of our fur baby. She sent pictures and updates daily. We highly recommend selecting Randi to entrust your pet with.”
“Helen watched our 7 month old puppy and provided excellent care for her. She walked her and took her to a dog park. Even when our pup got a little anxious, Helen graciously cared for her and kept us informed. Helen made us feel comfortable with our first Rover experience and Millie's first night away from us. Thank you Helen!”
“This was our pup’s second stay with Max and it’s the second time she’s not wanted to come home at the end! She has such a great time when he watches her and we’ll definitely come back to Max again the next time we need a sitter. We couldn’t be happier with the care she receives with him and I can rest easy knowing she’s in such good hands.”
“Nothing but positive things to say about this stay. Great communication, daily photos, accommodating pickup/drop-off time, and reassurance that Mochi will be well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Rubi and Martha were AMAZING with our puppy, Cooper! We were away for the weekend and they were so communicative! My boyfriend and I LOVED receiving all pictures and videos. It made us feel so much comfort knowing he was having the best time with Rubi, Martha and their pups! We would 100% recommend their services to anyone and will definitely be using them again! Super grateful we found them and they took care of our baby!”
“While vacationing in Los Cabos, we had the absolute pleasure of leaving our fur babies, Roco and Raider, in the care of Kim and family —and we couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care they received! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease. The updates and photos we received throughout our trip truly warmed our hearts. It was clear that Roco and Raider were not just being watched—they were being loved. They looked so relaxed and happy, which gave us total peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. When we returned, our boys were calm, content, and clearly well taken care of. The environment was clean, safe, and welcoming, and it’s obvious this isn’t just a job—it’s a true passion. Finding someone who treats your pets like their own is priceless, and that’s exactly what we found here. We can’t thank you enough for the love and care you gave to Roco and Raider. We will absolutely be using your services again and recommending you to every pet parent we know! Thank you for everything! 🐾💛”
“Very kind couple who helped tremendously with my last minute request! My dog can be dog selective and they assured me that they keep all dogs separate because they are familiar with dogs who aren’t super social. I got daily updates with pictures about Oakley was doing and I never once doubted that my dog was in safe hand!”
“Chris and his family took great care of my babies. My normal sitter was unavailable and Chris responded promptly with his availability. His communication is top tier and he sent plenty of pictures. Thank you Chris and family!”
“Our pup had an amazing time at Lauren’s! Lauren kept our active 1 year old dog plenty busy with walks, trips to the dog park and play with her own sweet doggy. She kept us updated w messages, videos and pictures throughout his stay.”

Aaron and Tia are wonderful! We had a wonderful experience with with them twice now! They took great care of Reggie and gave us peace of mind knowing he was in loving, capable hands while we were away. It means so much to have people we can trust to care for our fur baby as if he were their own. We truly appreciate their attentiveness, care, and reliability, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with them again!
Could not be more thankful for meeka and her husband taking such great care of our Bentley. We adopted him at two and hadn’t seen him socialize super often with dogs and she handled it amazingly. Bentley now has two friends who he played with all weekend long. Meeka also took our last minute request after someone cancelled on us day before our trip. If you are looking for a sitter who is professional, caring and will give love to your pup, she is the one!
Luz was nice and caring from the very beginning. I have never used boarding for any pet before, so naturally I was nervous and I didn't understand the ins and outs of things. I had last minute booking at 2 days, and even had to extend my days at the last minute at 1 day ! She was very helpful with directing me. She sent pictures and updates as well. She responded to my texts and questions in a reasonable time. My babies seemed at ease with her when I picked them up as well. Thank you all for introducing me to Luz! I would definitely use her, if needed again!
Kristal was amazing when we needed a last minute sitter for Labor Day weekend! She was super responsive and made us feel very comfortable leaving our senior dog in her care. She proactively provided updates while we were gone and was flexible when we were running a little late with pickup. Most importantly, our dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely book with Kristal again!
Aiana took amazing care of my pup! She stayed in touch the whole time I was away, sending frequent photos and updates that made it easy to relax on vacation. MJ clearly loved spending time with her. I’d absolutely recommend Aiana for anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter.
Kimberly is the BEST, she will definitely be our permanent pet sitter Ceasar had the best time ever. Kimberly sent me photos everyday which made my trip even better knowing that Ceasar was not being neglected and he was very comfortable with her. Because I was really feeling some kind of way about leaving him for a week. But thanks to Kimberly for showing him the love and affection that we give him at home. Highly recommend……..planning my next trip now that I’ve found her……..
Sereniti was great! She provided updates throughout my dog’s stay with her, and even took care when my dog became sick and had digestive issues. She even went out of her way to allow us to pick my dog up late at night to be able to bring her home. Thank you so much!

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 Thrift home-away-from-home, 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 Thrift.
<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 Thrift 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 , 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 .
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.
