“Kelly and Maurice are first rate and the best. They took care of our Mr . Biggie and did a fabulous job. They have a great system of walking and caring for the dogs. We got lots of pictures and videos. Do not hesitate in using Kelly and Maurice. We definitely will be using them again.”
“Shuling is fantastic and I highly recommend her as a dog sitter! She responds immediately and sends a lot of great photos and videos during the stay. As a dog owner, I can see in the photo that my dog is very happy and comfortable with her. We are repeat customers and Shuling has watched our dog for several nights over different occasions with more booked in the future. When we arrive for drop off, he is always super excited to see her and follow her into the home. I never had to worry and know that my dog is taken care of. Thank you, Shuling!”

“Eli is professional, as well as patient and kind. We had a last minute change in our travel plans and our pets were not all going to the same sitter, Eli didn’t hesitate to offer our largest dog his place and was open with the schedule . Thanks Eli we greatly appreciate your kindness”
“Since I travel often with Owner of Vacation Envy International, as her Assistant with travel groups; this was Bella's 4th stay since July. She will be back again next month as well. Aaron and Tia take amazing care of Bella and she loves her time there. She doesn't even say goodbye to me when I drop her off. Lol. The best part is that she comes home exhausted and will sleep for a day or two. HA.”
“Estela watched Walter for a whole week and sent me a pic almost daily. Doggy was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I will consider using her services again whenever I need dog boarding.”
“She loves dogs truly. She let our little dog to sleep on her bed first night to let him feel like home. She updated and sent photos twice a day. The little dog seems to make the furry friends and like his stay”
“I had such a wonderful experience! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive. She treated my pup like her own and kept me updated throughout the stay, and sent pictures! Cash was happy, comfortable, and so very relaxed! Obviously, he felt right at home! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We’ll be back!”
“Absolutely enjoyed working with Bria! She was very communicative and transparent from the first inquiry we sent. Our puppy was having so much fun we were worried he wouldn’t want to come back. Bria took good care of our puppy, took him to the dog park, got him used to pottying outside while away, and even gave him a cleaning. She also sent at least 2 pictures a day to keep us informed of how he was doing. We would highly recommend her to anyone interested in getting a sitter. Bria helps to keep you at ease while you’re away from your dog. And I’m certain we will use her again in the future.”
“Monica was very attentive and patient with questions I had and with Marley in her care! You can tell that she is a very caring pet mom. I received pictures and a detail daily report of Marley’s stay and activities. I was comfortable with leaving Marley with Monica and his new playmates.”
“Beth was awesome with Bailey! Bailey is an older gal, and gets a bit stressed with change but Beth was very patient with her and Bailey settled down nicely during her stay. The video of Bailey wagging her tail and playing around proved such. Thank you, Beth, for taking such good care of her!”
“As a first time user of Rover and first time search for a cat sitter, Elena definitely set the standard. From the first contact, Elena was incredibly responsive, very kind, and extremely welcoming of my babies. Elena and her children took such good care of my babies, as they allowed them space to adjust while being open to their affection as they warmed up. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands as she invited them into her home with open arms. When I picked Pocket and Rocket up, they were so soft from freshly brushed hair and calmer to get back into the car. I would absolutely recommend Elena to take care of your cats, as they will get plenty of cuddles, play time, and freedom to explore their new space. Thank you, Elena and kids!!”
“Candace was great with our dog Rosie. And, Rosie felt right at home with Candace and her family. All the photos we received Rosie seemed relaxed and happy. It’s always good to find someone to care for your pet like it’s their own. We will surely use Candace again.”
“Bailey and I were very happy with Jasmine’s care. Bailey has separation anxiety + generalized anxiety and usually gets sick when returning home. From the first time he saw Jasmine he was very comfortable with her. I give Jasmine her 10s.”
“Hester is great. Very good communication. Follows up quickly. Keeps me in the loop during my dogs stay. And I usually get a tired and happy dog after the stay. Very happy I found Hester!”
“Lisa is wonderful! She took care of my Bandit to my satisfaction. Lisa sent several pictures and gave plenty of updates. I definitely recommend Lisa and will reach out to her again next time I need a sitter for Bandit.”
“Diego treated Duchess like she was his and I love that! He sends updates to reassure you that all is well and he provides pictures! I will definitely use his services again and recommend him!”
“It's reassuring to know that your dog's caretaker likes your dog (almost) as much as you do. I could tell by the texts and photos Jeff sent me during Ruth's stay with him that they were having a blast. I returned home to a worn-out, happy pup. I can't ask for more. Thanks Jeff!”

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 River 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 River.
<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 West River 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.
