“Wow! My family and I felt and knew we left our pups in great hands with Michelle. She sent daily updates and photos. One photo looked like my dog was literally smiling. I would book again in a heartbeat with Michelle!”
“Kathleen and her family took great care of Juneau. We arranged a Meet & Greet in advance to ensure a successful stay. They sent photos and updates so we knew our girl was having fun while we were away.”
“Jennifer was an absolutely amazing sitter! This was our first time leaving Buddy anywhere and she made the experience better. With daily updates and pictures of their time together, Jennifer made sure that we knew our pup was being taken care of. From the meet and greet all the way to pickup, she was extremely friendly and was able to easily answer any questions we had. If you are looking for an awesome, friendly and exceptional sitter for your needs, look no further than Jennifer. If we need a sitter for Buddy again, she will definitely be our first call!”
“Terri had great communication and we were able to do a meet and greet before the stay. She sent us great pictures and updates and would greatly recommend her to watch your pets!”
“Tyson was well taken care of while we were on vacation for a week. Renee sent me photos everyday showing how spoiled he was getting! He had an amazing time and was exhausted after I picked him up. Thank you!”
“Priscila was amazing! She went above and beyond for my cat, and she was so honest and helpful the entire time she had Mary. She even drove 40 minutes each way to pick my cat up from the kennel! She is an accommodating and trustworthy petsitter! Choose her!”
“If you’re looking for a dog sitter, look no further than John and Jess! They are a fantastic dynamic duo—responsive, accommodating, and great at keeping you updated with pictures and videos. My doodle had a wonderful time, and I will definitely be bringing my dog back in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Mindy cared for our dog, Shanti, and our cat, Anora, for three weeks - and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly dependable. She took the time to understand both of their unique personalities and needs, and it was clear how much genuine care and attention she and her partner gave them. Her home is beautiful and welcoming, and their spacious, secure backyard was a dream for Shanti to enjoy during his stay. Knowing they were in such a peaceful and pet-friendly environment made all the difference. Mindy kept us updated with messages and photos, and when we returned, both Shanti and Anora were happy and clearly very well loved. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, loving, and truly attuned. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again - she’s an absolute gem.”
“Lauren has watched our pup twice now and it has always been a great experience. She’s been very flexible with our schedule and our pup seems to really enjoy her time there (a huge fan of their great backyard and deck!). We’re glad to have found someone we feel very comfortable with to watch our fur baby.”
“Thanks a lot for taking great care of Quinn as always Varsha. Greatly appreciate everything you did for him including preparing food for him when you ran out of the food we provided for him. Thanks a lot for constantly sharing his happy moments with us in the form of pics and videos on a daily basis . Greatly appreciate you taking care of Quinn as your own family member . I see he loves being at your home. Planning to send him often so that he can have fun with Milo and other boarding dogs. We feel so safe and secure whenever we leave him with you . Thanks a lot again Varsha , see you soon.”
“This is our first time using Evvery’s services and we are very happy we found her. She made this experience easy and wonderful. I loved how she took the time each day to share pictures and videos of my dog. Our dog misses her and we will certainly use her services again!! Thank you so much Evvery for taking excellent care of our Maximus!”
“Tiffany was an absolute lifesaver when our previous arrangements fell through right before our two-week trip. She was incredibly accommodating with our dates and logistics, and she kept us updated with wonderful pictures throughout our time away. Her Great Pyrenees, Kodah, is the most beautiful and loving soul, and he and Milo became fast besties—sharing bones and hanging out together like they'd known each other forever. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to Tiffany and Kodah for taking such great care of our boy!”
“Sneha was so supportive and helpful caring for Binky. Thank you so much for hosting Binky recently and for all the pictures and updates throughout Binky Stay! All the pictures that you have shared show she had a fabulous time like home with you and your family.! can say Binky found her second home👍”
“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.”
“Rene was so wonderful with my senior boy. I was anxious to leave him for the first time ever but, Rene’s sweet and welcoming disposition took away all my fears. We will definitely be seeing her again!”
“It makes me nervous to be so far away from my fur family but Kelly took exceptional care of the boys and sent updates everyday. It was clear they were as comfortable with their visit as I was. Thank you Kelly!”
“Thank you Miranda for taking such great care of my corgi. The regular updates with photos were a great comfort knowing my 4 footed friend was safe and having a great time!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Urbana
Cindy is an amazing pet sitter. This is the second time our Rottie, Tobias, stayed overnight with her and her family. He always comes home happy and she sends pics and updates along the way. We are so grateful to have found her, because we never leave our big pup with anyone, but we feel very comfortable when he is with her. Thank you, Cindy!
Rui was amazing with our pup! She sent lots of pictures and updates and we could tell he had so much fun! She even gave him a bath before we got home and had all of his bedding freshly laundered. We could tell he got lots of play time because he was super tired when he came home ☺️ We will absolutely not hesitate to use her again!

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 Urbana home-away-from-home, 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 Urbana.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Urbana 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 , 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 .
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.
