“Rahel is absolutely amazing. She is so communicative and you can tell she really loves dogs. Our dog can be difficult but he warmed up to Rahel right away. We will definitely be back!”
“Diego was very attentive to us and our animals. We got several images and videos each day. It made it feel like we were right there. Our puppies were happy when we picked them up but I think they didn't want to leave Diego. Would definitely recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future.”
“Sabrina was an incredible sitter for my pup, Leia! She was so caring, kind, and attentive to Leia’s needs. Leia typically takes some time to warm up in a new place given her separation anxiety, but Sabrina was able to make her feel right at home almost instantly. When Leia got anxious from noises outside, Sabrina even played calming music to help her relax. Her communication was fantastic, she kept me in the loop constantly and sent tons of photos. With the extreme heat and poor air quality during Leia’s stay, Sabrina made sure Leia’s safety was her top priority. Even over a longer 5 day stay, I had complete peace of mind knowing Leia was being looked after like she was her own. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book Sabrina again in a heartbeat!”
“Juan and Felipe took amazing care of bubba while I was away. They were extremely communicative and flexible. I look forward to booking with them in the future!”
“This is my 4th booking with Alder and Kathy and unless they are unavailable, I will continue to book with them. They are incredibly kind and soooo good with my little guy who can be shy. They send updates and I literally NEVER worry when he’s staying with them.”
“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%!”
“My dog has appeared to enjoy being with Jiao, and I got a picture or video of my dog everyday. Jiao was timely with her communication and flexible with drop off/ pick up. I would use Jiao to dog-sit again.”
“Alex is amazing. She communicated his activities and sent pictures which relieved my separation anxiety. She was flexible and so considerate to XO needs. Alex is my dog’s bff, he cries when he leaves her house. Thank you so much!”
“Sabrina is fantastic! She’s knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She was so flexible when my plans changed, and I felt 100% confident leaving my dog under her care. I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to any dog owner!”
“Megan was such an amazing sitter! She watched our 10 year old Shiba, Rey, in her apartment for 4 days / nights! Rey has not stayed with a sitter in over 5 years, so we asked Megan to meet her two days before, and she agreed! We met on a walk and Rey loved her immediately! Rey had no troubles staying with Megan! Megan was super responsive and calm and sweet! She sent my husband and me several photos updates during each day and took such great care of Rey, who ate, slept, and went to the bathroom like she normally would! We are SO happy with our experience with Megan that we've already booked another stay with her, and we plan to continue to do so! Can't recommend Megan enough!”
“Aleyna took great care of my dog! I’d trust her with my dog again. She asked plenty of questions before booking which made me feel reassured that she cared about making sure me and my dog felt comfortable with her. 10/10!”
“Megan did a great job watching Reggie! I was nervous leaving him with a sitter for the first time because he is a reactive dog and gets nervous with new people, but he seemed to be having a great time. She was very communicative and flexible. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Melanie was great! Easy meet and greet to introduce DJ to his other furry friends for the weekend and the hand off was as smooth as I could have asked for! I got plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay so I knew DJ was in good hands.”
About: I grew up with a dog and cat that made me realize at a young age just how important they are in the household. That’s why when I got my own place, I knew I had to adopt! My beloved dog, Laya, has recently passed so I figured this would be a great time to provide my home to others needing a temporary safe, loving space. I’m extremely outdoorsy, so going on a walk, run or whatever your canine companion may want is more than okay with me! Playing fetch and tug-o-war is part of my daily activities... Oh! And don’t forget the belly rubs! My love for animals has peaked over the years, so this is an amazing opportunity for me to help them and their human companions live a happy, pawsitive, and adventure-filled life. :) I currently am only open on weekends due to my 9-5 job during the week and wanting to have enough time for your furry loved one. Any needs your pup/animals requires can absolutely be accomplished. I love cuddles on the couch to long hikes or runs any time of the day. Naps are also important!
“Yelena did a fantastic job watching our two dogs for 5 days. Communication was excellent as we felt informed how they were doing during the stay. Easy drop off and pick up. The fenced in back yard gave our dogs plenty of space to run about. We will definitely be coming back again!”
“Diana did an incredible job taking care of Roxie! I was away on a long trip and I felt at ease knowing Roxie was in great hands. I received daily pictures and videos and Roxie looked so happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Diana and plan on using her again in the future!”

Pascaline is amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving our 15 year old with health issues and 8 year old active lab in her care. Her communication is impeccable and she made sure to engage both dogs with enrichment that was appropriate for their temperaments and needs.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Paula was absolutely wonderful with Duchess! I always feel completely comfortable knowing Duchess is in such good hands while I’m away. Paula was kind, dependable, accommodating, and went above and beyond. I truly appreciated the extra care and thoughtfulness. Duchess was happy and well cared for, and that peace of mind means everything. I would absolutely book with Paula again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their fur baby! ❤️🐾
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.
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 .
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.

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.
