“We are very pleased with the care Pamela provides for our dog! She really takes great care to make our dog feel comfortable. She has a great fenced yard where our dog can run around and explore. Pamela also keeps us posted on our dog’s activities with daily pictures! We wholeheartedly recommend Pamela!”
“As always Jill and Chad are fantastic! If we could give a 100 star rating we would! We are so happy that Lizzie is becoming more comfortable with them and their family ❤️. We will recommend Jill and Chad any time.”
“Lucky had a great time with Max and Thomas. He enjoyed playing in the backyard and all the pets. Thank you and I'll definitely rebook again. I appreciate the prompt replies to my texts.”
“Sarah has done everything possible to set up her house to protect your pet. She has an excellent process for socializing your pet with her pets. She stayed in contact with me and sent pictures. I will have her keep Brutus again.”
“I am again very pleased with the care Shiloh gets during her stay with Melanie (and her family). Photos and communication is great and allows me to enjoy my time away. If I need a sitter for puppy camp again I will definitely be rebooking with Melanie”
“Cecil was great. Communication was excellent. He welcome Reese into his home as if she were his own. Even offered to drive her home or keep her an extra day during a snow storm. Thankful to have found him, would definitely recommend.”
“Pearl was amazing. Very responsive and communicated often. She took my Rosie in on short notice, nice place, sent pictures. I would highly recommend her and would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Steph is wonderful! She did a meet and greet with Oaklee and myself which is nice we knew where she was staying. She kept my mind at ease the entire time Oaklee was in her care by sending pictures and videos. Oaklee and me say thank you so much Steph! 100% would bring Oaklee back and use Steph!”
“Kathleen and her pack made Sam feel so welcome. She gives the dogs space to do what they need to do to be comfortable, which I appreciate. She played ball with Sam which made him super happy. And it sounds like Sam and Kathleen's 8 year old lab Ruthie became fast friends. Sam moped after we picked him up which is always a good sign that he enjoyed himself. Sam will be coming back for future visits.”
About: Hello, I’ve been boarding dogs for awhile now and I use to have a dog myself for over a year. I don’t work with very large dogs and I think I’ve boarded enough dogs to get enough experience. I’m home full time and can walk/feed/take your dog to potty at any time. I’m open to long boardings and short time sittings, and all walks and drop ins. Plenty of time to play with your pet. I make sure there’s nothing on the floor or in the dog’s reach that can harm them and if there’s a crate, will usually put them there if I’m not going to be around.
“We first went to Melissa's for a meet and greet. Later I brought my dogs back to her house for a 4 night stay. They were pulling me towards her gate happy to be there. They liked the fenced yard, being able to explore freely. Melissa sent us a picture and short update everyday. I picked up very happy pups on Monday. Highly recommend Melissa.”
“Chrissy was awesome. This was my first experience using Rover in Baltimore and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Communicated often, sent pictures, periodic updates and can tell Bear loved hanging with Dublin. Thank you so much again for everything and will definitely be my #1 go to ?”
“Leydi and her family did a excellent job keeping Nova for a week while I was out of town taking care of personal family business. Nova enjoyed having other dogs her size to play with. I will surely use Leydi again in the future.”
About: As a nurse, caring for others is at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of attention, patience, and responsibility to every pet in my care. I work only 2–4 days a week, and there is always an attentive family member at home, so your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and affection throughout the day. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including dogs and other animals, so caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Those experiences taught me how to understand different pet personalities, needs, and routines from an early age. My family has a 7-year-old Cavapoo named Bentley, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of walking paths and open green spaces nearby, giving dogs lots of opportunities for exercise, exploration, and fresh air. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor their care to their individual needs. My healthcare background has taught me to be observant, dependable, and detail-oriented, which is especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, following special routines, administering medications, or recognizing changes in behavior. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while ensuring their dogs feel happy, safe, and loved during their stay. 🐾❤️ Caring for fur babies naturally fits into my daily routine. As a nurse, I am flexible with plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. On the days I am home, dogs receive regular walks, playtime, attention, potty breaks, cleaning cages, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are never left alone for long periods and continue to receive supervision, care, and interaction. My dog, Bentley is family, so daily walks, feeding schedules, exercise, and cuddle time are already built into my routine. I live in a walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood with nearby green spaces, making it easy to provide multiple walks and opportunities for exercise each day. I enjoy maintaining a consistent routine that helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and at home while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor their care to their individual needs. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog is treated like family. Whether in my home or a client's home, I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I tailor my approach to each dog's temperament whether they are energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or prefer a calm and relaxed environment.
“Abby and her family were amazing! They took great care of my pup Maxx while I was away and sent plenty of videos and pictures of all the loving and play time he had. Maxx loves kids so he was spoiled rotten having friends to play with and keep him entertained. I will happily book with Abby again and recommend her to anyone.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Willoughby Woods
Tarina is a true animal lover. Her spirit radiates it, and her love and compassion for furry friends can't be faked. I boarded my 2 small dogs and my cat with her while I was on vacation, and she took great care of all three. One of my dogs is very social, but the other is scared of her own shadow, and Tarina got her to open up. She even gave them a bath and washed their items before packing them up, which saved me time when we got home. My pets took to her right away, which was wonderful to see. Her husband is also the cat whisperer. I've never seen anyone get my Aura's attention the way he did. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. I just pray she's not already booked! She's set a standard that's incredibly hard to beat. Thank you, Tarina. You are appreciated.
Paris is truly a Gem🥰 I never have any issues with booking, she is always accommodating; even when I book last minute, she is thorough, patient and always updating you with photos. Initially I have never used a dog sitter and I gave Paris a chance and I have used her consistently ever since ! I’m sure that’s Leo’s second home at this point lol Thank you so much Paris for your amazing services.
Briana and Isaiah took such great care of Ruby! I really appreciate how attentive and caring they were with her. They kept me informed when they noticed that Ruby wasn’t feeling well and even gave her a bath to make sure she was comfortable and taken care of. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. They treated Ruby with so much love and care, and I truly appreciate everything they did for her. I would definitely recommend Briana and Isaiah to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby!
We had such a wonderful experience with our puppy sitter! She took amazing care of our two puppies while we were out of town and treated them like they were her own. She kept us updated, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. When we picked them up, they were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. She even mentioned how sweet and cuddly they were, which made us smile! We are so grateful for the love and attention she gave Benji and Stormi. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets. Thank you again for taking such great care of our babies!
Takiara did a great job of takkng care of Rocky whlile I was away. I felt immediately at ease with her upon meeting her and knew Rocky would be in great hands. Takiara took the time during our meet and greet to sit with Rocky to get to know him. I can tell Rocky was happy and well taken care of!

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 Willoughby Woods 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 Willoughby Woods.
<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 Willoughby Woods 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.
