About: For over 20 years, I’ve devoted my life to caring for dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. As a professional groomer and lifelong animal lover, I’ve learned that every dog has its own personality, quirks, and needs—and that they all deserve a safe, happy place to call home while their families are away. At my home-based boarding, your pup isn’t just a guest—they’re family. With a cozy indoor space, a secure outdoor play yard, and plenty of cuddles in between, I make sure every tail wags with joy. Whether it’s playtime, rest time, or a little extra pampering, my goal is always to give them comfort, care, and peace of mind—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Pet care is my life and my passion. As a home-based groomer with 20+ years of experience, I combine professional skills with the comfort of a family environment. Dogs aren’t just clients—they’re guests in a loving home where every wagging tail is noticed, every need is met, and every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. My home-based setup allows me to give personalized attention, cozy care, and consistent love that bigger facilities often can’t match. My home doubles as a haven for pups! I have a cozy basement workshop where I work, a special indoor play yard where puppies can romp safely, and a fenced outdoor yard for fresh-air fun. And of course, after work, it’s family time—they’re free to snuggle, play, and enjoy life with me beyond the yard.
“My two French bulldogs made themselves right at home with Piero and his family. They treated my doggos with great care and attention. It was also a huge plus that someone was always home with my girls. Piero was great with sending pictures and keeping me updated. It was super easy and I will be using him again to watch my dogs. 100 percent recommend - a wonderful sitter!”
“Apollo had a lovely time staying with Sriju! She has such a peaceful, calm spirit and a cozy home. Apollo felt comfortable right away. Sriju’s house is located on a corner with a large yard next to it and there is a playground and dog park close by. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“Our dogs Dallas and Dixie are always so well cared while we are away. We sincerely appreciate the updates and knowing they are in good hands. A big thank you to Sophia for going the extra mile to ensure Dixie receives her medication every night. I highly recommend Sophia!”
“Marylee did a great job of sending pics of my pup while he enjoyed the deck and some quality window watching. She wrote us a wonderful note detailing the weekend. I could tell he was very happy with his “getaway” outside of the city! :) We will definitely be booking with Marylee again!”
“Zia absolutely loved her stay with Iwona. We were given daily updates and photos and Iwona was very responsive. Nubi and Zia were so cute together. I will definitely rebook with Iwona. Thank you so much Iwona for taking care of Zia so well when we were out of the country. Really gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands.”
“We are so grateful to Pam! She treated Mikko incredibly well. And he played with toys for one of the first times (he’s a rescue and an older dog so this was amazing). His food has multiple steps to it and she was very detail oriented regarding this. Thank you again Pam!! 💌”
“Caden was great, buddy, my 9 year old border collie love him and I got updates regularly, he took great care on him and I will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend”
“Chris was great with Moose for in-house stay! He anticipated us at drop-off and pick-up, was open to providing personal reference before booking, followed directions well, and sent several video updates daily. His house has a large fenced yard that Moose enjoyed. Moose was walked several times per day and clearly had a relaxing vacation with Chris. Would book again!”
“Tanya and her whole family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pippa! She felt right at home from the moment she arrived, and they provided the best care possible. We loved receiving the photo updates Tanya sent—it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Pippa was while we were away. Thank you, Tanya, for creating such a kind and loving environment for our pup. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Pippa was safe, happy, and so well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Ivan did a great job taking care of my little girl, Sanu. He kept in touch and seemed to have a genuine affection for her. Would definitely use Ivan again. He’s an entrepreneurial young man. Well done, Ivan!”
“We have used Shadid for weekly daycare all summer, so it was a no-brainer to seek out her care when we needed to board our puppy for a week while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos to reassure us our dog was doing well. She is always professional and so easy to work with!”
“I almost don’t want to share how amazing Jason and Rebecca are because we’d love to keep them to ourselves but they truly deserve the recognition. They go above and beyond. They sent thoughtful morning and afternoon updates about energy, eating, and interactions, which gave us so much peace of mind. They’re also very responsive and quick to reply to any questions. They took the time to slowly introduce our dogs to theirs, making sure everyone was comfortable. We picked them up happy, relaxed, and tired which is exactly what we hope for. They are kind, attentive, and truly care. They don’t just watch your pets, they care for them as if they were their own. They deserve every star and more. Highly recommend!”
“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”
“Huan took excellent care of my dog for the time he was with her. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. My dog came back happy and relaxed—he clearly got lots of attention, great walks, and plenty of belly rubs. She’s kind, personable, and truly attentive. I highly recommend her for boarding and sitting.”
“Jared is fantastic with our Cooper! He always goes above and beyond, keeping us updated with pictures, and it's clear that Cooper has formed a strong bond with him. He's incredibly responsive, attentive, and great with dogs. I highly recommend Jared to take care of your furry family members!”
“Carlos was communicative and attentive and gave us photo updates of our Dog while there. Our dog enjoyed playing with some of the other dogs that were there and enjoyed the large yard.”
“Karyna was the best. For this to be our first time letting Capone stay with someone other then a family member Capone really enjoyed his self. He had a lot of fun. Karyna sent us pictures of Capone and I really want to say that the person that was supposed to take care of Capone back out on us the very last minute and Karyna took Capone in for us. I recommend her to anybody that is looking for there pet to be well taken care of. Thank you so much. I know who to look for when I go out of town again. Thank you so much.”
“Tatyana is such a life saver. My dog is in love with her. She treated my dog like she was family and gave her so much love and attention! She is our new favorite and I would definitely book again. Thanks so much for being so great to my dog LILO appreciate it so much!! 🥰🫶”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Washington Grove
Marissa and her son were wonderful! They took us on as a last minute sit job and saved our weekend. She was so friendly and kind and laid back. Her energy is what I loved for my dog, because we are training for calm and chill and that’s what she came off as being. She was flexible and her dog got along great with my dog. I felt comfortable and at ease leaving our pup with her and this was our first time using a pet sitter. I highly recommend Marissa and if ever in town again will call her up.
We had Siva board with Jessica and her family, and words can’t describe how happy we were with his stay! We could tell Siva received all the love and attention he needed and more! Jessica will always be our #1 choice if we need to have boarding for Siva again and highly recommend her if you need someone to look after your pup!
Poh was amazing. I’ve used 3 other sitters through Rover and she was by far the best one. She has experience with dogs which made me very comfortable leaving my pup with her for 10 days. Very professional and responsive. Poh is dedicated to caring for the dogs in her care. I will definitely be using her again!
We had a great experience! Mango was so well taken care of, and we really appreciated all the updates and photos while we were away. It was obvious he was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Communication was easy from start to finish, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We’d definitely book with them again and highly recommend them. Thanks!!!
Kasey was great with both my dogs. All the images show how happy they are. It looks like both dogs trusted him, especially for Oreo who is very timid and takes time to warm up to someone new. Kasey handled the dogs well and shows a great deal of experience with dogs. I will definitely reach out again the next time we need to go out of town!
Jeannie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my boarding request on very short notice (the same day), and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She took such great care of my dog and even my cousin’s dog, and it was clear they were in loving hands. She was kind, caring, and communicated with me throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated all the photos and updates she sent! I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter. Thank you so much, Jeannie!
Iwona was a fantastic sitter and I will definitely be using her again to watch our fur baby. She took such good care of our pup and gave us daily updates with pictures. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our baby was given love and being taken care of. I highly recommend booking with Iwona!
Our dog Lex had a great time with Tessa while we were on vacation for a week. She took him on lots of walks, played ball with him, gave him cuddles, and provided the structure he needs. We got lots of updates, photos and videos. We will definitely book with Tessa again!!!!
Jared and his wife are the first non-family hosts our dog has stayed with, and they immediately put us at ease about our decision to leave Roscoe in their care. They kept us consistently updated with photos and were always responsive, answering every question we had with patience and clarity. We will definitely be rebooking with them!
Anamaria did an amazing job taking care of our Shih Tzu for a week while we were on vacation. This was the first time we had done pet boarding for our dog and we were nervous about how well our dog would do in a new environment. Our dog took to Anamaria right away and by the end of the week, she didn’t want to come home! :) She had such a great time at Anamaria’s house, and we had peace of mind that she was being taken care of so well! Anamaria sent us lots of fun photos and updates throughout the week and her cozy place was absolutely perfect for our reactive dog. Anamaria is such a nice person, and we can’t wait to use her for pet boarding again! We highly highly recommend her!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Washington Grove sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Washington Grove landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Washington Grove 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 Washington Grove.
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.
You and your Washington Grove 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.
