“Carlie took such wonderful care of our 11 year old Golden. She and her children spoiled him with all kinds of love and attention. I felt very comfortable leaving him while we were on a week long vacation.”
“Katelyn provided the most amazing care for our puppy!! He was spoiled with multiple walks, many treats, and tons of snuggles while we were away for a long weekend. He became friends with their sweet husky as well. Can’t wait for him to stay with her family again soon!! Thank you!!”
“Kendall and her family helped me in a bind and proved to be reliable, friendly and incredibly welcoming to my dog, Shoto. I’d highly recommend her for anyone who needs pet sitting, and I’d definitely book her again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Debra. She was AMAZING. Communicated with me often throughout her stay, sent pictures and loved my baby like I would. I was nervous to leave her with someone else for the first time but Debra made me feel comfortable. Thanks so much Debra!!”
“Becca did a wonderful job looking after my dogs. They were obviously very well cared for and loved on while I was abroad for 10 days. She communicated frequently with updates and pictures and was very quick to respond when I had questions! Highly recommend!!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They welcomed our pup for a last-minute weekend stay and gave him such a comfortable, happy place to settle in. Their dog was a wonderful playmate, and the frequent updates and lots of photos made it easy to relax knowing he was having a great time. They were communicative throughout and incredibly accommodating as our schedule kept changing. We’re so grateful for the care and flexibility, and would happily book with them again. Highly recommend!”

“Our first experience with Rover and we were able to do that for 2 nights for a short trip. We did a preliminary visit to talk to Sydney & Mike to see how things would work. Reggie, our dog, seems to have enjoyed his visit and his contact with other dogs. We would try to use Rover and Sydney/Mike again and for a longer visit next time.”
“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”

“Nichole was incredible with my dog. She messaged me and took photos throughout his stay with her. I could really tell she cared for my dog as if it was her own. I will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks so much Nichole.”
About: I trained my current dog (golden retriever) since he was a puppy. I grew up with many animals including chickens, bunnies, cats and birds! I also took in 2 stray cats I found at a local gas station. I adopted my border collie and other cat from AACACC. I also like to help out my older neighbor by walking and playing fetch with his Lab. I’m familiar with a decent portion of breeds and understand their needs can vary a lot! I have a very flexible schedule, I do college classes online so I can choose when to do my assignments based on my schedule during the day. I prioritize training and basic obedience with my dog. My dog goes everywhere with me from car rides, to getting a pup cup, to the lake to swim! I love to take care of him, and spoil him with toys as well. I’m very much the same with your pets! I like to ask what their usual routine is and if you’re working on training or anything specific with them. I also always send a detailed Rover Card for you to look over. In addition, I make sure to check in frequently and send updates during visits/stays.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Whitehurst is $50

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience boarding Finn! From the start, Ben was warm, friendly, and welcoming, and his wonderful home felt like a safe, comfortable place for Finn to stay. We never worried while we were away. Ben consistently reassured us that Finn was having a great time and being incredibly well cared for. That peace of mind meant so much to us. We especially loved how active he was with Finn, taking him on lots of walks and giving him plenty of attention. His communication was excellent too. He was thoughtful about asking clarifying questions and checking in about any concerns, which made it clear how much he cared about getting everything right for Finn. We also had to make some adjustments to our drop-off and pickup times, and he was always flexible, understanding, and easy to work with. He’s truly a great guy, and we’re so grateful for the care he gave Finn. We would absolutely board with him again and recommend him wholeheartedly!
Carla was an awesome dog sitter! She is so nice and provided daily updates and photos of our fur son. We felt so comfortable knowing how our boy was doing during our long trip, and Carla clearly took amazing care of him. We’re so happy to have found Carla and will use her again the next time we need a pet sitter!
Highly Recommend Brittany! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brittany and the exceptional care she provided for my dog, June, during her overnight stay! From beginning to end, this was hands down one of the best dog sitting experiences I’ve ever had. Brittany went above and beyond to make sure June felt comfortable, loved, safe, and completely at home. What impressed me most was the genuine love and affection Brittany showed June. It was immediately clear that she truly enjoys caring for animals and treats them as if they were her own. Finding someone you can trust with your dog is extremely important, and Brittany exceeded every expectation. The biggest compliment I can give Brittany is that when it was time to pick June up, she actually didn’t want to leave! That alone speaks volumes about the wonderful experience she had. Seeing how happy and comfortable June was gave me tremendous peace of mind and confirmed that I had made the perfect choice. Brittany’s kindness, attentiveness, and dedication to providing a loving environment truly set her apart. She doesn’t simply watch dogs; she makes them feel like part of her family. That level of care is priceless, especially when you’re trusting someone with a pet who means so much to you. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m extremely grateful for the love and attention Brittany gave June throughout her stay. Without question, I will absolutely be using Brittany again! She has earned my complete trust, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and outstanding dog sitter. Thank you, Brittany, for treating June like family and making her overnight stay such an incredible experience. You are truly exceptional! Five stars aren’t enough! Absolutely the best experience!
FANTASTIC!!! We received lots of updates on Ruby's activities, how she was settling into her new space and interacting with everyone. I'm an information Mom so receiving the detailed information Debra shared definitely eased my anxiety of leaving her for a long weekend. Ruby made herself right at home and was happy at pick up. Thankful to have found such a loving and positive soul to watch over our fur baby.
Carol treated our dog as her own. My dog Rosie loved Carol and Carol will be our sitter moving forward. We were able relax on our vacation knowing Rosie had great care. We can't say enough good things about Carol. Take our word for it on how great Carols care was for our little Rosie.
I was nervous about leaving my new pup, Alfie, but from the moment I met her, I knew he was in wonderful hands. She was absolutely amazing and cared for him as if he were one of her own. She is such a sweet, genuine, and caring person, and you can truly see those qualities in the way she loves and cares for dogs. She genuinely loves them, and it shows! You can see how happy, pampered, and well cared for her own dog, Halo, is. Alfie and Halo became besties, and it honestly felt like Alfie went on a little vacation of his own! 🐾❤️ I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust her with Alfie again. Highly recommend!!!!

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 Whitehurst 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 Whitehurst 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 Whitehurst.
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 Whitehurst. On Rover:
- 86% 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 Whitehurst 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.
