“I’m always nervous to leave my dog with someone new but they were great to work with, communicative and always answered any questions I had about how Abbey was doing. They have a lovely home with a sunroom and amazing backyard perfect for curious doggos wanting to stare at birds and chipmunks all day. Thank you for looking over my fur baby!”
“Ellen is terrific. Her beautiful spacious farm provides a great change for dogs like mine who are inside an urban house. She is kind, thoughtful, and flexible.. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Link enjoyed his stay. The videos of him having zoomies don’t lie. Picked him up and he was tuckered. Thank you Curtis, Lindsey and family for treating Link as one of your own. Will definitely book you guys for future times when Link can’t travel with us.”
“Renee always so loving to our dog Lily. She offers plenty of opportunities for play and cuddles. I recieve frequent updates and Lily always seemed to be right at home! Love that she has experience with pet sitting and it very aware of each individual dog in her care! :)”
“John and Jess were absolutely lovely! They had my two boys over the weekend and I will 100% be using them again, they were very communicative and incredibly kind. So many pictures and videos and my dogs had a great time! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, kind place to stay! Thanks again John and Jess!”
“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.”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of our dog while we were gone for a week!! She was flexible with scheduling and even accommodated a last minute change to keep him an extra day. She sent frequent photo and walk updates. She is very professional and got to know me and our dog during our meet and greet before we booked with her. It was such a pleasure working with Jennifer. Will 100% be booking with her again!”
“Tanya and her husband were great taking care of our dog Joey. We received many pictures and updates every day. Joey had fun exploring and playing outdoors with Tanya. Highly recommend this family for your pets.”
“Darby is so kind and caring. Anyone can see how much she loves dogs. She is also so understanding and flexible when plans change. She is the best and I would never hesitate to leave my little guy with her!”
“Great communication and even tho we couldn’t meet up, it was great talking to Dan on the phone. He was very flexible with drop off and pick up and my pup loved playing with his dog in their big fenced in yard! We had a tired happy dog after three days of being away!”
“Lonnie was able to take my request with only a few days notice, he really helped me out there. Great yard with plenty room to run and his dogs got along great with mine. Plenty of pictures and videos updating me throughout the day. Definitely will come back”
“I’m so glad I left Apollo with Rebecca and her family while my husband and I were out of town. She took care of Apollo and made sure he was fed, active and happy. He wasn’t eating his own food and wanted the other pup’s food, and Rebecca was absolutely open on feeding Apollo her own pup’s food just so that he could eat. Apollo was getting spoiled the whole weekend. I can’t wait to use Rebecca and her family again to sit Apollo again. Thank you again for everything!”
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.
“Jena was AMAZING! My dog thoroughly enjoyed himself the week he stayed with Jena. She sent lots of pictures throughout his stay and kept in contact with us. I highly recommend her. She also has a very spacious backyard and there was a ton of play time and time outdoors. Cannot recommend her enough. We definitely will be booking with her in the near future.”
“Mila is a great fit for our dog Ramona, who is a companion dog and loves to be with people but is a bit afraid of other dogs. Mila sends updates and pictures throughout the stay and we feel confident that Ramona is well cared for while we are away. This was Ramona's second stay with Mila and we already have another booking with her. We love Mila!”
“Matt was super easy to work with and took good care of our Aussie, who was hesitant to leave him when we went to pick her up! It’s so nice to find a dog sitter who works from home like we do. Highly recommend Matt.”

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.
