“Based on the photos of her sprawled out and lounging around their home, our 12-year-old pup was very comfortable in Austin & Majid's care! They were kind, professional, and communicative throughout our time away.”
“Precious was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout Orlando’s 5-day and kept us updated with plenty of great pictures. We could tell through the pictures and consistent communication that our pup was comfortable and being well taken care of. We had a great experience and will definitely be using Precious again”
“Maryjo and Jon were such caring and attentive dog sitters for our Carlton. They have tons of experience with dogs, and it shows! Thanks for loving our boy for a weekend!”
“Winston was very well taken care of and felt right at home! He was sad when we had to leave, so my partner and I knew we made the right choice for where he should stay. Aaron was very understanding and helped us with his potty training since he’s a puppy. Additionally, Aaron was accommodating with an early drop off and a late pick up since our flight was delayed. We really appreciate you for easing our stress and taking care of our baby. Thank you and would definitely recommend!”
“Kamille was wonderful! Very flexible, responsive, and great about sending pictures. Kona had a great time and we wi definitely work with her again in the future.”
“5 star review again!! Brittany is truly the best. We needed her very short term notice and She was available and professional. She is the best!!!”
“We love Beth and Bastian! It’s a home away for my pup and he’s always so excited to see her! She’s so flexible and accommodating, pictures throughout the stay and it’s always so stress free.”
“Dylan is fantastic! We booked him to watch our dog Bruno, and he went above and beyond from the very start. He was kind enough to set up a meet-and-greet a few days before our booking, which immediately gave us so much peace of mind and helped Bruno feel comfortable with him. During the stay, Dylan kept us completely updated every single morning with a detailed report of Bruno's behavior and daily routine. The photos he sent showed Bruno looking so relaxed and happy. Dylan is incredibly flexible, a great communicator, and always quick to respond to messages. I couldn't be happier knowing Bruno was in such wonderful company. I recommend Dylan 100%!”
“Jenna was awesome and took great care of my dog Winston for a whole week! She frequently sent picture updates which I greatly appreciated since I always get nervous leaving Winston. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again next time!”
“Katya was great! We did a meet and greet, and it was clear Lenny felt comfortable in her home and loved her yard. Katya was communicative, shared photos, and kept us updated on how Lenny was doing. Lenny came home happy and relaxed, having met some new friends. We will book again - thank you, Katya!!”
“Rodrigo was a lifesaver on multiple occasions in just a few short days - accepting a frantic last minute booking I had when some plans fell through and being very patient and helpful dealing with unexpected travel delays on my return. Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!”
“We used Jeramy as a last minute sitter when our original plans fell through, and we were so happy with the experience! Our dog can be a nervous with new people, but she loved Jeramy and had a great time during her stay. She also sent lots of pictures and videos to keep us in the loop. We will definitely be using her again :)”
“My pup absolutely loves Thomasena. They do such an excellent job taking care of and loving on him in my absence. So grateful that he’s able to be in such capable hands while I’m away.”
“Lia was highly responsive, helped us out in a bind on short notice, was incredibly accommodating, sent several helpful updates, sent a lot of cute and reassuring photos and gave me a sense of ease immediately. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“We had a wonderful experience! She was kind, professional, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. We felt completely comfortable leaving Kal in her care, and it was clear he had a great time and really enjoyed his stay. We’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”
“Sharmily was wonderful with my kittens. She didn't bat an eye about taking on all three of them for two weeks, even though they were only 4 months old and not fully socialized after having been born "in the wild." The environment at Sharmily's home was great - there were places for the kittens to hide out but not places for them to get lost. Sharmily was great about sending pictures and videos, and I could see that the kittens were comfortable, playing together, and making new friends. : ) They grew and thrived in Sharmily's care.”
“Rut was absolutely phenomenal! I could sense her expertise from her well-crafted profile page. I have specific care instructions for my dog, and when I dropped him off before my trip, I noticed that Rut had already printed out the document to have a hard copy on hand. Throughout the day, she sent several updates with all the details I requested, confirming that she was diligently following my dog’s routine. Rut’s kindness and clear experience as a caregiver were evident in every interaction.”
“McKinley was the best sitter we could’ve had! She was able to accommodate to a last minute request. She sent frequent updates and my pup felt so comfortable in her house with her other pets. 10/10 best sitter in the area!”
“Angela and her family took amazing care of my dog while I was out of state. She is really kind, friendly and thoughtful and sent lots of pictures and updates daily. My dog is usually indifferent to new people but was immediately excited to meet Angela. I could tell that my dog was relaxed and comfortable in her care. 10/10 Will definitely be booking again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - University Park
Payton and Graham were wonderful hosts for our dog, Blue. He was obviously well taken care of and happy during his time with them. They communicated throughout and sent pictures and videos to keep us informed. They have a good space inside and outside for dogs to roam and play. We will definitely use their services again.
10/10! Boozy loved it, and she sent me lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay. As soon as I dropped him off, I knew he was in an amazing environment because everyone in the house started playing with him right away. Boozy also loved her dog! I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
We regularly use Pascaline and could not recommend her more. She is very caring and loving to our two pups. One of our dogs is a bit aggressive and quirky but she’s great with him and both of our dogs love her like a second parent. She is very communicative during their stay and always sends photos and videos on a daily basis. We are very grateful for Pascaline!
Eskayra is the embodiment of a five-star pet sitter! It was our first time leaving Bijou with a sitter and as soon as we met Eskayra we felt at ease. She made sure Bijou felt comfortable in her home and her multiple daily updates were great. Bijou came home a very happy pup! Highly recommend.
Katya was great! We did a meet and greet, and it was clear Lenny felt comfortable in her home and loved her yard. Katya was communicative, shared photos, and kept us updated on how Lenny was doing. Lenny came home happy and relaxed, having met some new friends. We will book again - thank you, Katya!!
Bettina and her family were amazing company for my Ozzy while I was on a short trip. My kid-loving boy got to love on her child, had some canine companionship, and came home happy and exhausted. I got regular updates and great photos. Looking forward to many more stress-free trips knowing Bettina is there to care for my boy!
Rene was wonderful and provided great care for my dog, Kolbe. She was kind, knowledgeable, professional, and warm. She provided pictures and updates each day and even arranged a meet-and-greet before Kolbe’s first stay to get to know us better and make sure she’d be a good fit. Would highly recommend! Kolbe will certainly be back in the future!
KG was amazing with our two dogs. They've come back with more training then they started with after one weekend. She gets dogs - who they are, what they care about, what's fun, what's scary, what's too much - and meets them where they are. Can't recommend enough. Big bonus is the pictures you get - you feel comfortable knowing how much fun they're having.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
