“This was Nukka's first stay with Felice and her family. But it won't be his last. We had a nice meet/greet a couple of months ahead of time to see if we were all a match. This gave me a great level of comfort. It was clear Nukka was having a good time and feeling safe from the daily pictures/videos I received. When I came to pick him up he was obviously overjoyed to see me, but kept going back to Felice to make sure she knew he still cared about her. hahaha Can't wait for him to spend time with the family and his new furry playmates again.”
“Rodney was great! He really came through for me in a last minute emergency and made me feel safe about leaving my girls with them. I will definitely use them if I have to leave my babies again. I can't thank you guys enough for taking care of my girls!”
“Kelly was a joy to work with and she made us feel very comfortable to leave our sweet dog with her. She was lovely and sent constant photo updates. I will definitely leave Mila with her in the future!”
“Nicole was very kind and attentive to Shirley. Shirley requires a lot of human company, and Nicole and her family provided that in spades! I received regular updates regarding Shirley’s activities, as well as photos. Book Nicole and your furry friend will be in good hands.”
“Erika took great care of my dog while we were away! My dog seemed to love staying with her and enjoyed interacting with the other dog she was caring for. Erika was accommodating to my pick up and drop off times.”
“Kimberly is absolutely amazing! She cared for Rome this weekend and was so accommodating, especially since he wasn’t feeling his best. She went above and beyond to nurse him back to feeling better and kept me updated throughout the entire weekend. Her love, patience, and genuine care for Rome give us such peace of mind. This is exactly why we always book with Kimberly! We couldn’t ask for a better sitter! ❤️🐾”
“So kind, responded promptly, and gave great updates with pictures while Nika was staying with them. My return flight got canceled and when I asked if Nika could stay with them another night, they were so kind and accommodating. I felt a lot less stress knowing my girl was in good hands.”
“My first time leaving my dog with a rover sitter and as expected I was extremely nervous. Shakiyla was so reassuring and professional in handling my big dog! She sent me updates every day while he boarded. I would highly recommend! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Robert is great with Jagger. I feel like he truly cares about and enjoys Jagger company which gives me a great sense of relief when we are away. Jagger comes home happy and tired from a few days playing with Robert's dog, Kirby. Robert has also been extremely flexible when it comes to pick up and drop which is greatly appreciated.”
“Like any dog mom, I was nervous to leave my puppy JET for the first time, but Maryfe made the experience so reassuring. She’s an excellent communicator and kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. My puppy had a wonderful time and came home happy. 10/10 !!! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Ruth was extremely accommodating in helping our group last minute save a dog from a euthanasia list! We would not have been able to save this dog without Ruth providing a safe, comforting place for the dog to decompress and flourish. Ruth was great with communication and provided pics which helped us find the dog a full time foster. Ruth is amazing and I would definitely let her watch my dogs for me!”
“Keyona was great with my 6 year old Shih Tzu. My mind was at ease with knowing he was in good hands, considering he’s never been with anyone other than a family member. She sent pictures and videos each day, which was a plus. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Jess is simply amazing with my elderly and very high maintenance Havanese. He has serious separation anxiety but I never worry about him when I drop him off. She’s very attentive and patient and will go out of her way to make him comfortable. She’s really the only one I trust with my baby 🥰”
“Liz and Jeff took care of our dog like he was their own! He seemed to have a great time and received lots of love from their family. Thank you so much for taking care of our pup!”
“What a gift it was to find Mila as a sitter for our cavapoo, Graham! We were in need of last minute sitting over the holidays when our regular plans for Graham fell through and Mila was able to take him in quickly and we just knew he would be in the best care! She only takes one dog at a time which Graham needs and is so attentive and caring. We are so grateful to have found her!”
“Highly recommend Karla! Dodger was right at home! We loved Karla’s updates and photos, showing him having fun on neighborhood walks, eating his meal, and snuggling. Karla asked so many helpful questions to make sure that Dodger and she had everything they needed.”
About: I have a 3 yr old mini poodle that I’ve had since he was a puppy. Very familiar with all the stages and can adjust to suit their needs. I work from home so I’m flexible. I work from home most of the week so I’m able to take your pup on multiple walks and play with them! I have plenty of room for them to roam around. I have a fenced backyard and a friendly mini poodle who loves to play! Your doggy will have space to relax and will be well cared for.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlawn
Kassandra proved to be the best sitter we've encountered in the years we have been using Rover's services. She goes out of her way to make your pet really feel special and part of her family. Our pet is looking forward to his next stay with and her family who's partnership works well in creating the perfect environment. She keeps you fully up to date with what's going on with your pet.
Cheryl was incredibly responsive, took a last-minute request, and saved my pup from a bad boarding situation. She was able to pick him up and give him a nice, caring home. Sending daily updates significantly reduced mine and also my dog's stress. He is very anxious and typically is very afraid of new places and people, but it was obvious from the updates I was getting from Cheryl that he felt right at home. Could not recommend her enough. Fantastic, all-around amazing, and saved my dog's life.
Nicole helped me out with a last minute booking after I was ghosted by another sitter. My old lady, Sophia, doesn’t often get free reign to runaround without a leash - she had a blast doing so at Nicole’s with another dog. Nicole sent pictures and I felt confident that my dog was well cared for.
Ms. Jae is absolutely wonderful. She took my baby girl in as her own this past weekend and even had another energetic pup visiting that Cora could enjoy spending time with. Ms. Jae knew that I was worried given a few of my past experiences here in Baltimore and she made it her duty to send me multiple updates and photos throughout my time away from Cora. My was smiling the whole time, and I could really tell that she was happy and well cared for. You can tell that she really cares about making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in her space. If I could give 10 stars I would. I will likely only send her to Ms. Jae from now on as long as she will have her ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can’t say enough nice things about Sean and the wonderful way he took care of our fur baby, Taz. He kept me up to date with Taz’s daily activities and added pictures. I am so grateful for Sean and his excellent care of Taz. I will definitely use Sean again in the future!
Erika - thank you for being such a wonderful caretaker for Tarot, since her first day meeting you she has been comfortable. Your ability to watch her consistently has been a big relief for her and myself, she is always so happy to see you time and time again. I truly appreciate you being so flexible and creating some consistency during my travels. -Brandon
Nina was such a blessing to find as I was looking for last minute care for my pup! She welcomed Sweet Pea into her home and within the evening she was settled and I could tell she felt at home. She shared pictures throughout the stay and was super communicative which I appreciated greatly! She came home tired and so happy - couldn’t ask for more!
Amaya did a great job caring for my fur baby BB while I was away for 11 nights on a mission trip to Africa. She accepted BB even though she had less than a week's notice. She did send pictures and a video of how BB was adjusting to her home, family, & their fur baby but because I did not have International calling ability & the Rover phone number provided is not set up to receive Google video calls or WhatsApp text. So, I had to wait until I returned home to get the updates. Amaya gave me a report on BB when I returned. Her home & the grounds are perfect for BB. I would certainly consider Amaya if I needed services for BB again.

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 Woodlawn 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 Woodlawn.
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 Woodlawn 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.
