“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“Lonnie was awesome!!! I received updates and tons of photos. Had a death in the family before my trip, the funeral was the day after I returned. I mentioned this to Lonnie and he was generous enough to hold Shooby a little longer so I didn't have to rush or worry. Highly recommend!!!”
“Jena B was literally the best, my pup was so happy and well taken care of. If you are looking for a star sitter Jena is it. I would use her again 10 times over . Jena is really nice , great communication and so attentive to the dogs in her care . I felt super comfortable from booking to pick up.”
“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lydia! She and her family took excellent care of our dog while we were away, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciated her reliability, kindness, and genuine care for our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dogs!”
“Ebony did a great job with our Rusty. She sent pictures and videos every day. When he had an upset belly and needed a diet modification, she had no problem making adjustments! Thanks, Ebony!”
“OMG, Awesome!! Nicole and her family were the perfect overnight host for Rex!! They were engaging and attentive with Rex. He ate up the attention!! I booked 2 more future bookings because Rex and I received good vibes from them, 100 thumbs up 👍 for Nicole and her family !!”
“Dear Lora, We just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for such an incredible first experience with Rover. We were honestly very nervous about leaving our 90-pound, 2-year-old Lab, Big Johnny, especially since we didn’t feel comfortable putting him in a kennel. Finding you completely changed that for us. From the moment we met you and saw your setup, we felt at ease—and that feeling only grew while Johnny was in your care. He came home exhausted in the best way possible—happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It was obvious he had an amazing time running around your huge backyard, playing with the other dogs, and enjoying all the attention, toys, and activities (we’re pretty sure the chipmunk hunting and tug-of-war were highlights!). We also can’t thank you enough for the constant updates, photos, and videos. Being able to see him having so much fun made it so much easier for us while we were away, even though we missed him like crazy. This was truly an outstanding experience, and we would recommend you to any of our friends and family without hesitation. We will absolutely—1000%—be bringing Johnny back again. Thank you again for everything. We’re so grateful we found you!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and it was great! Brittanie and Ryan were flexible and easy to communicate with, shared photos throughout our pet’s stay, and overall made it easy to be away without worrying about her. Would definitely return the next time we need pet care!”
“Kellyn took great care of our dog! We appreciated the periodic updates. I can tell that she went above and beyond in making sure Mariner was safe and comfortable. We look forward to booking again!”
“Helen and her crew were so wonderful! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog, who can be a bit of a handful, and made him feel right at home. Our dog was so excited to go back after our meet and greet, and seemed a bit disappointed to leave at the end of his stay. Her dogs were also super sweet and welcomed Berry just as much as Helen did. She was super communicative and I really appreciated the updates and pics. I will definitely try to book with Helen again!”
“Ruth & her family are amazing dog sitters! They sent adorable frequent updates & took the best care of our guy - he slept all day when he got home! He is a little high maintenance and we felt totally assured that he was loved and cared for while we were away. We would definitely recommend them to watch your pup!”
“Virginia and her family are lovely. She took such great care of my Macks. It feels so good to get away and know that my girl is also getting a vacation. She had so much fun with Virginia's dogs and her family. I will be excited to book my next trip knowing I can leave my girl in such good hands.”
“Chelsea is fantastic! She welcomed Churchill into her family and allowed me to relax on vacation without worrying. Daily pics kept me informed of his comfort with Chelsea and family we will definitely use her on a regular basis!”
About: I’ve spent the last 10 years providing attentive, hands-on care for dogs—including my own pets and trusted dogs for friends. I understand that every dog has their own routine and comfort zone. Whether your pup prefers a quiet indoor space, regular gentle walks, or just a calm, stable companion while you're away, I provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free environment. I work from home full-time, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the day. Your dog won't be left alone for long stretches—I’m available for regular potty breaks, gentle walks, and plenty of companionship while I work. Because my schedule is predictable, I can easily adapt to your dog’s specific feeding, walking, and medication routines. My home is a comfortable split-level in a quiet, walkable neighborhood equipped with plenty of yards and sidewalks for safe outdoor exercise. Inside, there are cozy couches with sunny spots perfect for lounging and relaxing. I focus on creating a calm, secure, and stress-free environment, maintaining clear boundaries and constant supervision to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
“Great sitter! Funny guy, kept me updated with Ace throughout his stay & you could tell Ace really enjoyed his time there. Soon as i got him in the car, he started whimpering like he missed him already 😂 definitely glad i found someone he was comfortable with. Would definitely book again!”
“Ms Olga was so nice. She sent videos/pics often. Bruno had a good time she even let him stay an extra day when my travel plans got disrupted. Can’t wait to have Bruno there again.”
“Meghan and Jacob took such great care of our Lab and we couldn’t be happier with their service. They are caring, dependable, attentive, and truly treat your dog like part of their own family. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our fur baby is in such loving and capable hands. We are so grateful to have found them and would highly recommend their dog-sitting services to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate people to care for their pets. We will definitely use them again! 🐾❤️”

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 Upperco 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 Upperco 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 Upperco.
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 Upperco. 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 Upperco 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.
