“When I dropped off our dog, Roxy, she was shaking for fear of being left behind by me. Stephanie was very kind in her approach to Roxy and she seemed to settle. Stephanie sent me pictures throughout the visit. When we picked Roxy up, she was not shaking or barking, which she typically would be when boarded. If in the area again, we would definitely rebook with Stephanie if we had a need .”
“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!”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of our dog while we were gone for a week!! She was flexible with scheduling and even accommodated a last minute change to keep him an extra day. She sent frequent photo and walk updates. She is very professional and got to know me and our dog during our meet and greet before we booked with her. It was such a pleasure working with Jennifer. Will 100% be booking with her again!”
“Renee was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! You can tell how much she loves dogs and how connected to them she is.

“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.”
“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!”
“We ran into an out of town family emergency and these folks immediately brought on our senior Bassett Hound into their home To say they were kind is an understatement. When we needed to extend our stay out of town they readily understood and continued care of our pup. The updates about how he was doing along with the photos of him were a wonderful gift during a painful time in our lives. If there were more stars we could rate them with, it still wouldn't be enough.”

“I have elderly chihuahuas and if you know anything about the breed they get worse in temperament, as they get older. I choose Kaye when reviewing her profile and seeing her experience and the chihuahuas surprisingly cuddled up with her and interacting with her family and other dogs. She’s great in conversation and keeping up to date.”
About: I have experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to provide them with patience, attention, and consistency. I’m comfortable caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, enrichment, and giving them plenty of attention. I know that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what works best for each animal. I’m responsible, attentive, and careful about following their owner’s instructions so they can feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. My goal is to make every pet feel cared for and give their owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.

I create a calm environment by following each pet’s routine and their owner’s specific instructions closely.

I also take the time to let pets get comfortable with me at their own pace. I never want a pet to feel pressured or overwhelmed. I’ll provide plenty of patience, supervision, affection, and reassurance while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Communication is also important to me. I’ll keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is safe, happy, and being treated with the same care I would want for my own.
“I felt very at ease leaving Diesel with Frances! Diesel had plenty of safe space to play and went for walks. He went on a short trip to Belle Island. Frances also gave him his daily medicine. And I loved the picture she sent me. With her background I was pretty sure she could handle my guy. I will definitely recommend Frances to others. Diesel looks forward to staying again with his new buddy! ”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
After a few disappointing experiences on Rover, I was understandably nervous about finding care for my two larger dogs during a three-week (20-day) trip. Her profile looked promising, but I was completely unprepared for just how exceptional the level of care would be. From the moment I met her and her husband, I felt an immediate sense of peace and trust. She was very attentive. My dogs took to them and their home right away. She gave them all the love and attention they receive at home—and possibly even more. She even let my pup snuggle in bed with her. It was clear that she loved and cared for them as if they were family. Throughout my trip, I received frequent pictures and videos of my dogs enjoying what was clearly a vacation of their own, complete with plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. I received updates frequently and any questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly. When I picked them up, they were calm, happy, and completely content. As a busy professional who hopes to travel more, I cannot adequately express what it means to have found someone I trust—literally without a second thought—to care for my fur babies. A truly 100/10 experience. I could not recommend her more highly.
We found Soumen at the last minute when we needed someone to care for Lilo over the weekend. He took excellent care of her and kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Lilo looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with Soumen again. Highly recommend!
Glenn is amazing! He took wonderful care of Ovi and made the entire experience stress-free. He is friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the pets he watches. He is always responsive to messages, provides updates, and is ready to help whenever needed. Glenn creates a true home-away-from-home environment, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Ovi in his care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

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 Westwood 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 Westwood.
<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 Westwood 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.
