“Stephanie and Taylor are so great that my dog was enjoying 'her vacation ⛱️' while we were enjoying ours. Will definitely do it again whenever we need, and definitely recommend them to our doggie friends .”
“Renee was very communicative, friendly and prepared! It looked like Mae really enjoyed herself during her stay, I would definitely recommend her as a dog-sitter to anyone.”
“Our dogs were incredibly well cared for during their stay with John and his wife. They were very thoughtful in sending updates and photos. I really feel that they cared about our dogs and didn’t see this as just a job. They are wonderful people and your dogs will be in great hands with them.”
“The dogs had a wonderful time with Kacy. Kacy sent videos and pics of our puppies keeping us up to date the entire time. Communication is great and her and her husband are super nice. Will def. come back :):)”
“Carmen and her husband were exceptional caretakers of our pup, are incredibly nice, and were very communicative and flexible. Since they have a fenced-in yard, it made for a great environment for our pup’s extended stay. I would 100% recommend them.”
“We were so lucky Priscila was able to accommodate a last minute emergency stay! My return flight home was also cancelled and she was so gracious about my puppy needing an extra day of care. I really appreciate her so much!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We went on a week long vacation and they treated him like he was one of their own! He was sad to come home. We got daily updates and are extremely blessed they treated him so well. We were very skeptical and nervous about leaving our dog for the first time but are extremely happy We chose Martin and John. We will definitely use them a Again and recommend them to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Buddy was in good hands and slept solidly after his two days of visiting. We will use Darshini and Joseph again in the near future. Thank you for taking care of our Buddy.”
“Flash had a blast at Sneha's place with her pet Boozo and Flash's other best friend Ace. Was so great that her availability worked out at the last minute. As always funny, energetic and very loving Flash had no issues getting used to and making new buddies on a single day :) Would definitely strongly recommend Sneha for anyone looking to board their pets here !”
“Soumen is amazing! It was my first time having Nala stay with him and his family. She was treated like one of their own, sent pictures and communicated perfectly. If Soumen is available to watch your dog they are lucky to be in such great hands. Thank you for going above and beyond to care for my baby and to make me feel comfortable leaving her in such caring hands. I watch dogs for a living and Soumen is who I go to when I need someone to watch Nala! Thank you!!”
“I was really nervous leaving Luna alone for the first time but those fears quickly went away when we met Julia and Edie (her pup). Julia sent updates with pics and videos multiple times a day the entire time. Highly recommended!”
“Hannah took great care of my dog, Sheru, and kept me updated while I was traveling. She was responsive and flexible with drop-off and pickup arrangements. She also noticed signs of a possible UTI and thoughtfully suggested checking with a vet. I really appreciated her care and concern for Sheru. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Sophia is a very reliable, organized and loving dog sitter. I’m so happy I found her! We have used Sophia for multiple week long vacations for the last couple years. Our dog Emmy always comes back healthy and happy. I never have to worry about Emmy and can relax knowing she is having fun. Sophia sends multiple pictures every day which I greatly appreciate. She takes the dogs for a walk each day and the dogs enjoy her fenced in yard.”
“This was a last minute booking for my big boy Snow. Christa was very helpful answering my questions and flexible but honest regarding availability which was greatly appreciated since at the time of the booking the planning for my work related trip wasn’t final. She kept me informed about his status all week and made me feel comfortable while being away since he wasn’t staying not just at a pet sitter house but at a welcoming home with lots of love.”
“This was our second time booking Nancy, and she was so great! My somewhat-skittish dog Ruby absolutely loves her — thanks to Nancy taking the time the first time around to get Ruby to accept her. You can tell Nancy really cares for dogs and is so devoted to making their stay feel as comfortable as home! Loved the updates and seeing photos of Ruby playing and relaxing. Would definitely book again!!”
“Kristin is the best! Pictures almost daily, and somehow no problems with our problem children. The end review from her was amazing, felt like our dogs were right at home. Will be rebooking.”

Emily was wonderful as always! Nini stayed with Emily for a week and we knew she would feel right at home with the excellent care that Emily provides. She also got to have an amazing playtime with her furry friends and enjoy walks everyday. We are lucky to have Emily host Nini while we are away! Thanks Emily!
I cannot say enough good things about Nancy! She took such good care of my little one. I always get sad and anxious about being apart from my baby. Nancy was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. I knew Millie would be in good hands. Nancy wanted to ensure to follow Millie’s routine and to make her as comfortable as possible. She spent a lot of time with her and took her on long walks. She also sent updates throughout the day. Highly recommend Nancy! We will definitely be reaching out to her again.
Carmen and her husband were very nice. They watched our 7 pound Yorkie, Cooper, for the weekend while we were at a wedding. They gave us daily updates with cute photos. And Cooper was really happy when we came to pick him up. Their two dogs were great with Cooper and he enjoyed playing with them.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Walkersville 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 Walkersville 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 Walkersville.
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 Walkersville. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Walkersville 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.
