“They were great! Very responsive and took care of my dog! I had a severe delay in my travel plans and they graciously allowed my dog to stay an extra night which really took a lot of stress off for me. Will absolutely use them again.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zulma. From the moment I walked into her house she made me feel completely at ease about leaving my dogs in her care. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and treated them as if they were her own. Throughout my time away, she provided regular photos and videos, that brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, well cared for and completely comfortable with her. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were in capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and generally caring I will highly recommend Zulma. I’m so grateful to have found her.”

“This was our first time using Tanita & Terrence's boarding services for our Coco. Our trip was last minute and they were so accommodating. Coco had an AMAZING time and they treated her just like a member of their family! We were kept updated with messages and pictures throughout her stay. We have found another great family to trust our girl with! Thank you both for taking great care of my schloopy! 🩷🐾”
“Beauty and her family took great care of my Ace. Communication was great. Drop/off and pick-up went well. My Yorkie enjoyed himself. I look forward to rebooking on the future.”
“Rae was absolutely great to work with when we had to take a trip shortly after adopting our pup, Moxie. It was clear from the meet and greet that she knows dogs well, and even though Moxie is still being trained on some things, Rae was great by giving us additional tips and tricks that we can use going forward and worked very well with her. Moxie had a great time playing with Rae's pups as well so it was great that she got some additional socializing too! We would recommend Rae and will be repeat customers”

“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.”
“Max took great care of my cat while I was away! He watched my cat for about 2 weeks and I got frequent updates and photos throughout. Max was also flexible and accommodating around my schedule. I would book with Max again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thrift
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.
