“i lost count of how many times my fur baby has been with nicole. she does an amazing job, from drop off to pick up. my baby is always taken care of by not just her, but the whole family. i wish i could gatekeep her, but others deserve her amazing hospitality as well!! smores always has a blast and she’s great for helicopter moms like me who like updates 24/7. i couldn’t recommend enough!”
“Casey and Marwa were so great! After a thorough and thoughtful meet and greet, they watched my Lulu for the night while we moved. It was a great first experience leaving my pup with someone not family. They always make sure someone is home with the pups and sent lots of updates. Kevin was a total gentleman and Lulu was thrilled that he shared his favorite spots with her. Lulu can’t wait to go back in a few weeks and I can travel easy knowing she’s being taken such good care of!”
“Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby! Maxwell doesn’t take to strangers in my presence so I was very nervous about leaving him for the weekend. Jessica assured me that he would be well taken care of, and he was! Jessica made sure to check in with me throughout the weekend and sent pics as well. Max returned happy and healthy! Thank you Jessica! I will definitely be contacting you again soon.”
“Makhayla was awesome! She kept me informed and was attentive to my fur baby who loves all the attention he can get. I will definitely recommend and use her services again. Thank you, Makhayla!”
“I’m so grateful that I found Kassandra to board my dog, Benji! The consistent updates and photos provided throughout, gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Kassandra and her adorable son will love your dog like their own to make the absence easier on your pup. Oh, and benji got spoiled with that amazing fenced in yard! 10/10 recommend.”
“Jennifer did an excellent job keeping me updated on how my pup was doing while I was away for Christmas. Chloe seemed to really enjoy her time there as well. I will be booking Jennifer again the next time I’m away.”
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.
“Cora was well cared for by Steven while we were away for the weekend. She was able to socialize and make new doggie friends. Steven was knowledgeable and gentle with Cora. She’ll be back to visit Steven and Shelby for sure!”
“We are so happy we found Ruth to care for our sweet nine year old mini Goldendoodle Gracie. Ruth and her family are really special. This was Gracies second stay. She wagged her tail from our car right to the front door and was so happy to visit with Ruth again. Ruth is such a warm and pleasant prrson. Gracie warmed up to her and the kids quickly and made fast friends with them. Gracie loves her romps in the back yard and her walks in the neighborhood. Ruth is so responsive and communicates with us via the Rover texts and sends reassuring photos. We are thrilled to have found Ruth and her wonderful family. We are so particular about who cares for Gracie. We can leave her with Ruth knowing she will be cared for and loved. We highly recommend Ruth!!”
“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!”
“I was a little concerned about leaving my older dog with a stranger. Alisia was friendly and bonded with Beau immediately. She provided him with a warm, friendly environment and he did very well. She sent daily pictures that put my mind at ease. Alisia is a fantastic provider and I would definitely request her again in the future.”
“Olga was an awesome sitter for my cat! This is my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. She sent me videos and pics that reassured me about my cat. Will use again if needed.”
“Demetrius watched our dog Taz and quickly became one of his favorite people!!! We got updates throughout the day about how well they were doing together. It usually takes Taz a long time to warm up to people, leading us to consider Demetrius a dog whisperer!!! We are so grateful for him and look forward to bringing Taz back to stay with him and Sebastian again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Andrew was really nice and had a good knowledge of golden retrievers since he had been a trainer for goldens years ago. Daisy seemed very happy with the arrangements and we would recommend him to anyone who wants to board their dog.”
“I think Lois was my best Christmas gift! We had a big family trip planned over the holiday and I hated the thought of my dog locked in a kennel. I just happened to check the Rover site for the first time and saw that Lois was willing to take in a “guest” for Christmas. We set up a meet and greet because Lois also has a dog. I trusted her knowledge of dog behavior and she was confident the two dogs would get along. They were like brothers! During the stay, she spoiled Milo with extra attention, special treats and toys, long walks, and he got to be part of the family on Christmas Day. She sent me photos and was a great communicator. I would highly recommend Lois - she does an amazing job and I look forward to taking Milo back.”
“I really had a great experience with Jamella she was professional a she really took time too get a clear understanding about pepper’s routine I will highly recommend”

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!
This was my puppy's first time ever away from home, and Lisa made both of us feel better about it! She was very kind and understanding, and my pup looked like he was having a blast in videos while I was away. I will be coming back to Lisa again for future trips, she was wonderful!
My dog Layla seemed to have a great time with Quinn! Quinn was very responsive, provided updates and the cutest photos everyday, and I could tell that Layla was getting so much attention and care. She came back home happy and relaxed. I would definitely use Quinn 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.
The best dog boarding experience!! Irene is so thoughtful, reliable, and caring towards our dogs! She is great at communication and made sure our dog got his medications everyday on time. My other dog, a Shiba Inu, is often moody and still loved staying with Irene! She really understand each pet's personality and makes sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy
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!
Absolutely wonderful experience. We were nervous leaving our 4-month-old puppy for the first time, but Linda made the entire process stress-free. He watched our dog for three days and went above and beyond to keep us updated. The videos and pictures she sent weren't just quick snaps, they showed our pup playing, napping, and looking totally relaxed, which meant the world to us. It was obvious Linda took the time to make our young pup feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. Thanks to her, we actually got to enjoy our vacation without worrying. We will definitely be booking again.
Amanda was wonderful! She took great care of our dog, Theo, for a week while we were on vacation. She was always available and kept us updated throughout our trip, including sending pictures of Theo, which we really appreciated. We can’t thank her enough for the communication, attention, and care she showed him while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Theo was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone they can trust to care for their pet!

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.
94% of sitters in Towson 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 Towson 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 Towson.
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 Towson. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Towson 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.
