“Kyury and her husband, John, went above and beyond for our dog, Arty. From the meet-and-greet through the duration of Arty’s two-week stay, their attention to detail, passion, and genuine care were evident. They helped keep Arty comfortable and eased our concerns about his anxiety. They provided regular updates with photos and videos that did not just check a box but instead provided meaningful information. They were proactive when issues arose—adjusting his feeding when he wasn’t eating well and quickly addressing a rash by notifying us and consulting a vet. At one point, Kyury even fed Arty by hand. After Arty’s stay, Kyury reached out to check on Arty and see how his rash was doing. They truly care about the dogs they watch. We would absolutely use their services again. We (including Arty) were spoiled. They deserve your business.”
“Another fantastic stay with Theresa. Misa is always so well taken care of at her house and I never have to worry. She sends pictures every day and a check in. Theresa and her daughter Lyv are our go to sitters when we travel.”
“Lorna was great with my fur baby. He is a puppy, so he is still a little hyper, but that did not bother her at all. She sent me updates and pictures and in the pictures, he was doing the same things he does at home so, I know he felt welcomed at her home.”
“Taylor took great care of Coco while we went on vacation. She sent pics throughout Coco’s stay and Coco seemed to be right at home. Thank you Taylor for caring for our pup! We will definitely use Taylor again.”
“I am sooooo happy that I found Ashley! She's amazing with Gracie and I am fully at ease while traveling knowing that she is being well taken care of. She keeps me updated daily and I so appreciate that she does it without me having to ask. Ashley is now my go-to sitter!!”
“Charles was amazing. Prince had a little issue shortly before his stay, and Charles was wonderful about making sure he received his medication. He kept me updated and even took pictures of Prince and sent them to me, which I really appreciated. Prince looked like he was having a great time and was very comfortable in Charles’s care. I was able to relax and not worry because I knew Prince was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and communication Charles provided. I would definitely recommend Charles and will gladly use him again!”
“Leo loves going to Esther and Yi's. He loves their entire family! It's so reassuring knowing he is in good hands when I have to travel (usually for work)! Great people, great dogs. Highly recommend.”
“My buzz was very happy and Francine did take good care of buzz and his allergy and anxiety.. buzz has not stayed away from us and he felt like home there.. he enjoyed there”
“Myrtle loved her stay with Karla, I’ll definitely recommend and use her again. I got regular pupdates with pics and a map showing walks and her eating/ sleeping trends. Myrtle was relaxed and happy when I picked her up.”
“Megan is a great pet sitter! My dogs Flash and Mina, both corgis, are very energetic and loud, and she knows how to manage them. She pampers them all the time with extra treats and new toys! She always sends me pictures and videos of my dogs. She is very responsible and makes sure they are safe and sound. We know my dogs feel comfortable with her and that makes me feel less anxious when we have to travel. We are repeating clients and will be coming back later this month! I’m very happy we found her! 100% recommended.”
“First time using Rover and we are sooo happy we found Deivy. We were at ease knowing Jolene (our lab mix) was with a loving family and would get lots of attention and feel right at home. Our wishes came true - Jolene is home and happy, so I know she was treated like a member of Deivy's family. We love that all his kids are involved in caring for the pets and giving them lots of attention. We will be using Deivy every time we go away.”
“We had a great experience with Christhian! He was easy to collaborate with, flexible, and was very responsive to messages. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of.”
“Annette is amazing. Super kind, and very knowledgeable about dogs. I can tell she really enjoys doing this. I’ll definitely be booking with her every time I need a sitter.”
“Lidia took amazing care of our two dogs! Her dog, Saint, is very sweet and playful, everyone had a great time. She was available for a meet and greet with short notice, and was flexible on drop-off and pick-up times. We received many great updates and photos throughout the week we were away. Her backyard has plenty of space for everyone to play, and they also went on frequent walks and hikes.”
“Demetrius was an absolute God send. I had to extend my trip and my usual sitter was unavailable. It’s extremely nerve racking to leave your pup with someone new especially if you’re not there to acclimate them. Demetrius made the transition so smooth and put my mind at ease. He gave multiple updates and sent pictures/videos. My dog had the time of his life w long walks, treats and cuddles. Thank you again Demetrius”
“Amazing!! First timer here and was very nervous about leaving our baby, but Megan made sure to send us videos and photos and keep us updated. She was very nice and she took great care of our fur baby!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Elkridge
Our dog was experiencing diarrhea during our trip. Kyury was incredibly kind, patient and compassionate in dealing with this situation. She took our dog to the vet and administered medication. Throughout it all, she was very communicative and most importantly, compassionate--to us, and to our dog. We truly appreciated how Kyury tried to put our mind at ease while we were on vacation. She is responsible and caring, and any dog would be lucky to be watched by Kyury!
Jingru took wonderful care of cockapoo Luna during her stay. She kept us updated with lovely photos of Luna and Jingru’s dog enjoying plenty of tummy rubs. It was clear Luna felt comfortable and well cared for, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’re grateful to Jingru and would happily book with her again!
Richa was an amazing sitter for my dogs while I was out of town. I always get nervous to leave them with anyone, but Richa put me at ease and was very accommodating to my concerns and the dogs' schedules and needs. She was also great with communication, sending me updates and asking questions. Richa even took my dogs on walks and an adventure to see the cherry blossom trees. Cannot thank her enough. Would book again. Thanks Richa!
Sarah is an absolute dream with both of my pups. They both adore her and her husband and love playing in her yard. She is super attentive and sends me lots of pictures every time they are with her. You can really tell how much she cares for animals. We are so lucky we found her!

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 West Elkridge 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 West Elkridge.
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 West Elkridge 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.
