“Justin and Kacy took wonderful care of our pup! They were super flexible, responsive, and gave us great updates on Ahsoka and how she was doing while staying in their home. We would highly recommend them. I’m sure Ahsoka would love to go back again and hang out with her new dog buddies too! Thanks again!!”
“Our dog Hank is a small mixed-breed dog with lots of energy. He had a blast staying with Marne and John. We received daily pictures and were so happy he was in such great care. The backyard has lots of space to run around and they had lots of toys. We met with Marne as our dog and theirs got to know each other. She was very friendly and helpful with getting the dogs introduced. We definitely recommend them.”
“Couldn’t be more grateful for finding this family. Imer and Michelle are the best. We are so happy to have them as neighbors. Our dogs loved them. Imer sending update for our dogs two or three times of a day.”
“Extremely happy with the level of care and updates from John and Jess. They asked and followed all the care instructions specifically our dog required. Their house is spotless and their backyard is big, safe and well kept. We can travel with confidence knowing our dog is getting excellent care and company. Their dogs are friendly. We will use their services again. We highly recommend them.”
“They took wonderful care of our dog! They took her on field trips and adventures. They provided pictures and videos and were completely accommodating to our schedule and our dogs needs. Sammy had the best time and came home happy, healthy and tired! We felt completely at ease with them and their dog. Beautiful property for the dog to spend a weekend and we will happily use them again. Wonderful care of our dog without a worry! Thank you!”
“Renee was amazing ! She has my 9 year old english bulldog for a week and was very communicative with pics etc to keep me updated ! My dog was very happy while there. We will definitely use renee again!”
“Chris & Gerry are simply THE BEST! I couldn’t say enough great things about them. So many beautiful updates every day while on vacation with heartwarming messages and adorable pics of our little Lexi. I was completely relaxed my entire vacation knowing Lexi was in such great hands! Can’t thank you enough!”
“Satsuki was amazing. She watched our 5-month-old husky overnight last minute and made our first boarding experience completely stress-free. She sent photo updates, communicated clearly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our pup was well cared for. We felt totally comfortable leaving him with her and would absolutely book again. 10/10 recommend.”
“Iesha did an AMAZING job with my fur baby! She was very attentive to her and send multiple pictures and daily updates about her. She gave our precious girl lap time (which she loves) as well as a going home party with bubbles and treats. I will definitely use her for any of our future needs🥰”
“It was perfect and I felt wonderfully at ease leaving my dog with Anna. Even at our meet and greet visit I knew Jack would love it. Anna has a large fenced in grassy yard infront of the house, 2 really sweet, playful, medium sized dogs of her own who my dog loved playing with (and he wasn't intimidated at all like he was when we tried the dog park), 2 sweet boys who he slept and cuddled with, and he even got daily walks in addition to play. Anna has a dog loving, active family and kept me informed with pictures and videos that he was doing well and adjusted quickly (and was embraced) like a member of the family. What more could I ask.”
“Frances was great. She listened to all my dog's needs and kept me up to date with how he was doing. She is also very easy to work with. I would definitely ask her to doggy sit.”
“BEST DOG SITTER EVER!! Toby is our first puppy and our "baby" since our kids are grown. We were hesitant to leave him with someone we didn't know but Jill answered all of our questions in our "meet and greet". It was very important to us that she only takes one dog at a time so that our puppy would get the care and attention that he was used to receiving. Well, Toby had the time of his life for the 3 days he stayed with Jill and her 9 year old lab - Buddha. Buddha became Toby's "big brother" and played with him constantly. Jill provided consistent loving attention to Toby at all times. She kept us updated regularly with texts and pictures of Toby and Buddha playing. We could not have imagined we would have found someone as amazing as Jill! We will continue to use her again and again in the future and recommend her to our friends. PS -- Toby seems to be missing Jill and Buddha -- it was like he was on his own special vacation!!”
“Kathleen and her family took great care of Juneau. We arranged a Meet & Greet in advance to ensure a successful stay. They sent photos and updates so we knew our girl was having fun while we were away.”
“Smokey loves going to Jesse's!! She is always welcoming and keeps us up to date on him while he's there. She also was super flexible more than once when schedules changed last minute. She loves our puppy like her own 🧡”
“Ashley & Joshua have been wonderful. They are quick to respond, easy to coordinate drop off and pick up, share regular updates with pictures, and are extremely pleasant to work with. My dog, Roo, very much enjoys her time with them. I plan to continue booking with them and unequivocally provide my recommendation.”

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 Thurmont 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 Thurmont.
Tip: 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 Thurmont 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.
