“Steph is the GOAT! Look no further for someone to love and care for your fur baby while you’re away. We are so fortunate to have discovered her on Rover. She is absolutely phenomenal. She was very prompt and thorough in communicating with us. She’s an excellent communicator and extremely caring. We enjoyed receiving pictures of our dog and felt relaxed and at peace knowing he was in her care. We had complete confidence in her and think the world of her.”

“Ellen was amazing! She sent me daily updates with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. Pearl was clearly happy and comfortable; she absolutely loved being on the farm, seeing the other animals, and making new friends. I’ll definitely be booking with Ellen again!”

“I was very pleased with the care that Rodney & Marissa gave Spot. They sent several pictures of him and and emails during his stay. I would definitely use them again, and recommend their services to my friends and family.”


“Ashley and family were amazing! We appreciated her accepting us as a late request, and as a new client, and gave me a sense of calm. Her baby boy loved all over our pup and made sure he was lived like he was at right home. It kinda made me jealous - he looked too happy! Thanks so much for an amazing experience and to new furry friend families!”

“Gracie had a great stay with Kacy. This was a last-minute stay and Kacy and Justin were very accommodating. Gracie came back happy and tired, which is what we were looking for.”

“Dorian took care of our senior dog with special needs during our travel out of state. I am really thankful to Dorian for his attention and care of Nina and for going above and beyond to make her comfortable and well cared for.”

“We were so lucky Priscila was able to accommodate a last minute emergency stay! My return flight home was also cancelled and she was so gracious about my puppy needing an extra day of care. I really appreciate her so much!”

“Kemberlei did such a great job with our dog Luna. Luna only weighs 5 pounds, but she makes up for it with her attitude!! She demands a lot of attention. Kemberlei kept us up to date with daily photos from the dog park and all the fun things that Luna got to do with Kemberlei and her family! So thankful to find her! Giant thank you to Kemberlei and can’t wait to go out of town again!”

“Poh was wonderful with our dog! You can tell she really knows what she's doing, which put us at ease right away. Her setup is adorable, and her own dogs are such gentle sweethearts. They got along great with Scooby and she truly made him part of the family. She sent photo updates daily so we always knew he was doing well. After seven days of boarding we picked up a very happy dog. We'd absolutely book with her again!”


“Lydia was an exceptional boarder, I would highly recommend her to keep your pet in her home. Her whole family welcomed Sophie like she was their own! Lydia supplied daily updates with pictures and couldn’t have been any more helpful. I will definitely utilize her services again hopefully (I will be boarding Sophie again in April). Thanks again for the stellar job you did Lydia, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care! Mike & Lisa”


“This was Troy's first time ever boarding anywhere so naturally I was very nervous about him adjusting to new people and to a new home. Fortunately, Evvery was such a natural and had Troy well adjusted in her home in just a matter of minutes! She even accommodated Troy's huge crate and kept me updated with beautiful pictures of Troy walking by the lake! Will definitely be boarding with her again soon. Thank you Evvery!”


“Eric kept me apprised of my puppy, Penny, throughout her stay. She appeared to be comfortable and happy. Upon her return home she seemed her usual self assuring me that she was happy with Eric as well.”

“My dog Sprinkie had a great stay with Shiv and his family. Shiv was very easy to set up the stay with him and was quick to respond to any communication. I found having him as a caretaker for my dog a very good thing. I would definitely use him again !”

“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.”

About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I’ve learned that every pup is different and deserves care that’s just as unique as they are. For the past 7+ years, I’ve also been fostering dogs through local rescues. Helping dogs transition from uncertain beginnings into loving homes has been incredibly rewarding and has given me experience with many different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. The idea of boarding dogs in my home came from a challenge I faced myself — finding a place that truly felt safe, loving, and comfortable for my own dogs when I had to go away. I wanted more than just a place for them to stay. I wanted them to feel cared for, understood, and treated like family. When your dog stays with me they will enjoy plenty of safe, supervised playtime in a large, fully fenced yard, giving them space to run, explore, and burn off those zoomies. Whether your dog loves active play or relaxing cuddle time, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. We’re used to having dogs around and all the activity and responsibility that comes with them, so caring for pets feels like a normal part of everyday life. When we don’t have any extras here, the house actually feels a little too quiet—like something is missing! I want every pet in my home to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to keep their routine and familiar comforts as much as I can—if they sleep in the bed at home, they’re welcome in the bed here; if they love curling up on the couch, that’s where they’ll be. My goal is to make their stay feel like a vacation, not a kennel stay. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and right at home while their family is away.
“I felt very confident that my dog Asher was well taken care of at Jena's house. She sent pictures daily which showed him having just as much fun as we had on our vacation away! I look forward to using her in the future.”

“Sayuri was phenomenal. She and her husband took excellent care of our elderly dog and went above and beyond to make him comfortable. He was totally at ease there. Good communication. We will be happy to use her again.”


“We could not ask for a better dog sitter than vanessa.She treated our dog like family. Every instruction was followed perfectly, and the photo updates made our day while we were away. Our dog came home tired, happy, and well-cared for. Highly recommended to anyone looking for peace of mind!”

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 Unionville 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 Unionville.
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 Unionville 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.
