“ALL THE STARS!! 100% This is the 2nd time Lori has watched our rescue dog, Luna Lovegood (LuLu), only this time it was 12 days, not 4. Luna has always been timid and didn’t know how to play. Lori has a very gentle and kind dog CoCo (or was pet sitting CoCo also), and by the end of the trip they were playing everyday — Lori sent videos and I couldn’t believe my eyes!!! I may have teared up a bit!! Lori sent out countless photos and videos. She also never put Luna in her room (kennel) and Luna was allowed to sleep on her bed, CoCo’s bed, the couch, etc. Please believe this is a VERY pet friendly home, absolutely wonderful with great energy. Luna hesitated to go in on this 2nd time, but the second she saw/realized it was Lori, she was wagging her tail and VERY happy — she didn’t even say goodbye to us!! That says so much to me!! Again, Lori sent to many videos showing my Luna coming out of her shell and reassuring us that she was okay, which I always need and love!! To know your pet is okay while you’re so far away is a blessing and makes vacation SO MUCH MORE RELAXING! I didn’t have to worry about LuLu, but in the end, I worried she wouldn’t want us back!! Hahahaha!! This is so much better than putting your dog in a kennel. I 100% recommend Lori, she works with your needs, your pets needs, she is 100% involved in communication and updates. She is very easygoing and goes with the flow, if you need something, she will do it! I will NEVER schedule another vacation, until I know Lori is free to watch our beloved Luna. I 100% recommend. SO SO SO much better than any Kennel or doggy daycare. Lori provides love and kindness and understanding and all our doggies need that. Thank you Lori and Rover!!!!”
“Shuling is fantastic and I highly recommend her as a dog sitter! She responds immediately and sends a lot of great photos and videos during the stay. As a dog owner, I can see in the photo that my dog is very happy and comfortable with her. We are repeat customers and Shuling has watched our dog for several nights over different occasions with more booked in the future. When we arrive for drop off, he is always super excited to see her and follow her into the home. I never had to worry and know that my dog is taken care of. Thank you, Shuling!”
“Nikki was very responsive and sent picyures throughout my trip. My pup even had accidents. Thats right i said accidents with an s! And she was so sweet about it. My pup came home happy and i felt at easy the entire time. One less thing to worry about. I will rebook and i recommend you check her out if you need a dog sitter!”
“Lovely couple with a baby and a toddler. Buffy had to warm up to Parker, their German Shepherd but I hear it went well. Tyler and wife watched Buffy on a holiday, July 4th. They were very gracious when I requested an itinerary change. I felt like they were really attuned to Buff-dog. Will definitely ask again for their assistance.Highly recommend.”
“Michelle was fantastic with our pup! He had so much fun playing with her sweet dog and friends, and she sent us pictures throughout his stay so we could see how happy he was! She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They welcomed our pup for a last-minute weekend stay and gave him such a comfortable, happy place to settle in. Their dog was a wonderful playmate, and the frequent updates and lots of photos made it easy to relax knowing he was having a great time. They were communicative throughout and incredibly accommodating as our schedule kept changing. We’re so grateful for the care and flexibility, and would happily book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Wow, I can't say enough about how well Katelyn cared for and accommodated our dog Oscar. He was nervous at first but quickly adapted and thrived - thank you Soooo Much, 6 stars out of 5! Definitely a keeper!!”
“Liz always takes wonderful care of our dog. She provides plenty of updates and is confident in providing the care our dog needs. I’ve never worried about how our dog is when she’s with Liz.”
“Mya cared for our dog (Harley) like she was her own! Harley has anxiety when we leave her but she was clean, calm and relaxed when we picked her back up. Mya sent us photos and communicated with us consistently while we were away so we felt at ease that our girl was well cared for in our absence. We will be booking with Mya again soon!”
“Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.”
“Katie was very sweet with my nervous dog, and kept me updated with plenty of pictures while she stayed overnight. I appreciate Katie’s flexibility and responsiveness when a last minute trip came up that I needed to go out of town for. Definitely would recommend Katie to anyone!”
“Antavia was amazing! She took very good care of my fur baby! Apollo definitely enjoyed himself and the environment he experienced! Definitely will use her again!”
“Marta was fantastic with our 6-month-old Basset Hound, Charlie!! It was my first time ever leaving a pet with anyone and she made it so easy. I received multiple updates each day with pictures, videos and text. It was great to see him with his new friends having such a good time! When I picked Charlie up, five days later, I told her that I never worried about him the entire trip. We missed him, but knew that he was in good hands! I highly recommend Marta and will definitely take Charlie back when needed! Thank you Marta for everything!”
“Beth was awesome with Bailey! Bailey is an older gal, and gets a bit stressed with change but Beth was very patient with her and Bailey settled down nicely during her stay. The video of Bailey wagging her tail and playing around proved such. Thank you, Beth, for taking such good care of her!”
“Alicia and her family took wonderful care of Zen. She provided daily updates with lots of photos. I could tell he enjoyed his stay. I will definitely rebook with Alicia again.”
“First time using a sitter for my two dogs who are now seniors. Andy was responsive and met with us first in person so we felt comfortable. During out trip, he kept us up to date with what was happening and sent lots of pictures. We will use Andy in the future!”
“Gio was so great at keeping us informed and sending photos of our puppy Loki! I felt completely at ease and was able to enjoy our family vacation without worrying. Loki seemed very happy! The service was wonderful!”

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Tilghman can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Tilghman home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Tilghman.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tilghman. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Tilghman 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
