“Marwa and Casey took great care of my boy! He was nervous at first being at a new place, and they helped him find his comfort spot on the back of the sofa, provided extra goodies into his meals to encourage eating, and provided excellent communication with me all along the way.”
“Awesome awesomeness, taco had an awesome time. For him to be a very high energy dog Nicole and her family made sure he enjoyed himself to the point that all that husky puppy energy was spent. Already planning to schedule another boarding with her”
“I am delighted with the way Makhayla watched over my pup. She was kind and kept me updated the whole time. This was my first time leaving him, and she made me feel comfortable. Thanks again!”
“Liz is amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone and I was nervous but she made everything so easy. She took such great care of my dog that I think he misses her now. We will be booking again in a few weeks ☺️☺️☺️”
About: I have taken care of various friends and families cats over the years and have two family cats. I love playing with them and providing a friendly face for them. I have also taken care of friends and families puppies and young dogs as well. I always treat everyone’s animals as if they were my own and strive to make sure they feel safe and loved while they are with me. I’m currently working part time so I have time to watch and attend to your animals any time of day. I am also available for boarding and sittings at houses when needed. I have a fenced yard in a family friendly neighborhood with no other pets in my home. I can crate your dog if needed at my home for boardings and they will have a comfortable space to be in.
“Jessica's place was great stay for my dog. I loved her cute back yard and that she's right across the street from a park. I also appreciate the one on one attention my pup received. Thank you for loving on my girl while we were away.”
“We wish we could give this sweet family more stars! First time we had ever left our older dog with someone and he LOVED it! Ruth sent tons of pictures and he was constantly loved on and entertained for the evening by her family. We definitely recommend using Ruth for your pet sitting needs. She has a great upbeat, cheerful personality and beautiful kids who love the dogs too <3 Our dog is a nanny dog and having kids made him super happy =:) Thanks so much Ruth and Family!!”
“Gary and his wife Karen took wonderful care of my dog, Finn, while I was away at the beach for a few days. They were great with communication, sending updates and making me feel at ease knowing Finn was in good hands. It’s clear they truly know and love dogs, and they have a welcoming home where Finn was well cared for. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I’ll be booking with Gary again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Barb is incredible with our pups- from our first meet and greet to our actual stay, our dogs felt right at home because of her attention to detail in making sure their routine was as if they were at home. Our dogs loved the big yard and couch snuggle time. What a relief to find a sitter we trust- we would definitely book with Barb and Mark again!”
About: Growing up, I was always around dogs and developed a strong love for them. I have owned German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, and German Shorthaired Pointers. I have always walked, and fed the dogs in the house. I work early mornings and am finished before noon, so I have plenty of time during the day to care for pets. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy some fresh air. I also have a friendly German Shorthaired Pointer/Beagle mix named Oreo who loves having other dogs around. We can play catch in the yard, go for walks around the neighborhood, and I’ll make sure each pet is fed, cared for, and given plenty of attention.
“Kim was such a great sitter for our two dogs! She was friendly, extremely responsive and sent us a ton of pictures and updates to let us know how they were doing while we were away. We felt very comfortable and at ease with having our dogs stay with Kim and I can tell she took great care of them. Would highly recommend!”
“Emily and Patrick were so great with my dog, Smiley! They were so flexible when plans went awry and the updates were so sweet. It was great seeing Smiley and Biscuit together throughout the stay and I knew my dog was safe and happy.”
“Emily was a great option to board our dog with. She was very interactive and communicative. She sent us pictures regularly. She was very warm and welcoming, and made our dog feel at home from the beginning. We will definitely be boarding our dog with her again.”
“Our girls were treated so well!! Updates with photos/videos everyday. They always looked very happy and comfortable. They almost seemed like they didn't want to come back with us for a second!😆😆”
“You were amazing with bubbles. You sent pictures and videos of her daily I know she had an amazing time with you and your family. I can’t thank you enough for keeping her ❤️❤️❤️”
“Really appreciated having Lisa arrange a meet up before the actual stay. It set my mind at ease to know who was going to be taking care of my pup. It was wonderful receiving pictures of my dog and seeing him happy while I was away!”
“We had to book last minute since for the 4th of July holiday weekend and Shatonia was so accommodating and understanding. She was very professional and responsive when I would check in and she was very understanding when traffic made us later than anticipated for pickup. Our pup seemed to have a good time and we definitely recommend booking with Shatonia!”
“Demetrius was absolutely amazing with Myra! From the beginning, he communicated frequently and kept me updated throughout her stay with videos and regular check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. Myra is a senior dog and requires a little extra patience and care, and Demetrius was incredibly patient, attentive, and understanding with her. I could tell she was comfortable and well cared for, and I truly appreciated the level of attention he gave her. I would absolutely trust Demetrius with Myra again and will definitely be booking with him in the future. I highly recommend him, especially if you have a senior dog who may need a little extra TLC. He’s amazing!”
“Lois is amazing and always does an incredible job caring for my dog Finn. He stayed at her house while I was on vacation. I always know he’s going to be well taken care of.”
“Lauren was really great. She took care of our dog for 4 days, and we felt supper comfortable leaving her with Lauren. She was very responsive and super accommodating. We will definitely ask for her to watch our pup again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Timonium
Casey and Marwa took great care of our goldendoodle, Poppy! She was a little nervous at our meet and greet (which is typical for her) but she quickly warmed up. The updates, pictures and videos that they sent twice a day showed us that Poppy was comfortable, happy, and having a blast the whole time. They responded quickly to any questions that I asked and it was clear that she was well taken care of and treated like one of their own. We will definitely ask Casey and Marwa to watch Poppy again in the future!
Katarzyna did a great job looking after my dog. I had to book her last minute and I’m glad I went with her. I got regular updates. She kept an eye on my dog when she became picky with eating and made sure she ate. She really looked after my dog like she was her own. After the meet and greet, I felt reassured that my dog would be safe and looked after with Katarzyna. I would definitely use her as a sitter for my dog again.
Jennifer took wonderful care of our anxious cavapoo for her first ever boarding at age 4. She sent me pictures and updates regularly and Rosie was in great shape when we picked her up. She was very flexible about drop off and pick up times, also. We will definitely be having her board Rosie again in future!
Our family had a fantastic experience with Cayleigh! Setting up everything was a breeze. Communication was always fast, professional and friendly. She was flexible with scheduling, and it was clear she loves dogs. I know my dog Lucy had a great time and was really well cared for because she usually acts like I've abandoned her when she's stayed with other people in the past--nervous and jumping all over me. She was completely chill like she had been on vacation. I highly recommend Cayleigh!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She was very polite and easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I really appreciated the frequent updates, especially the pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was well cared for, and I’d be happy to book with her again.

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 Timonium 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 Timonium.
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 Timonium 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.
