“I really had a great experience with Jamella she was professional a she really took time too get a clear understanding about pepper’s routine I will highly recommend”
“Virgina watched my retired guide dog Harry in her home while I was traveling for business. She made sure everyone would get along beforehand and took time to meet and talk with me. This was the first time Harry was staying with someone he didn't know and I was worried he'd be anxious. He had a good time with her senior dog Chip. I'll likely book with her again.”
“Kelly was amazing! She took such good care of my dog and kept him entertained and active the entire time. You can tell she is an animal lover and really treats your pet like part of her family. My dog was sad to leave! Loved the frequent photos and updates as well. Highly recommend.”
“Nicole and her family are awesome!!!!! Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Very loving and attentive, especially with us having a very high energy husky. Will highly recommend to anyone and everyone”
“Priscilla was so great with Kai. She went out of her way to take our large puppy into her home. Everyday she sent us updates and pictures. We are so grateful to have found her. I highly recommend her!”
“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!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Claude had another great stay with Ruth and family! Ruth fills me in on all of his adventures and the attention he's getting and sends lots of pictures. It's so nice to know he's having a good time while we're away!”
“Mygan was absolutely wonderful and tool such great care of Fluff! She’s a proactive communicator and was very thoughtful about sending photos, checking in, and making sure Fluff was comfortable and cared for. Would absolutely recommend her and would trust her with my pup any time!”
“Kyury and her husband, John, went above and beyond for our dog, Arty. From the meet-and-greet through the duration of Arty’s two-week stay, their attention to detail, passion, and genuine care were evident. They helped keep Arty comfortable and eased our concerns about his anxiety. They provided regular updates with photos and videos that did not just check a box but instead provided meaningful information. They were proactive when issues arose—adjusting his feeding when he wasn’t eating well and quickly addressing a rash by notifying us and consulting a vet. At one point, Kyury even fed Arty by hand. After Arty’s stay, Kyury reached out to check on Arty and see how his rash was doing. They truly care about the dogs they watch. We would absolutely use their services again. We (including Arty) were spoiled. They deserve your business.”
“Shannon has been our dog's sitter for a long time. Drop offs and boarding with her are always very easy. Our dog can be a puller yet Eileen handles him well on walks-- AND walks him often throughout the day. And of course, the photos she sends are priceless. Our dog clearly is having a blast and always makes new friends each time. (A huge feat for a timid/ anxious rescue). Thank you Shannon!”
“Watson had a great time with Esther and her two pups and I felt very comfortable leaving him with them over Thanksgiving weekend! I received daily updates so I knew how he was but I was also able to relax knowing he was well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“They took care of our 11 month old puppy for a short stay. The care they provided was truly exceptional. We plan to use them again for a longer stay later this spring. The were caring, professional and very communicative. We highly recommend Liz and Jeff.”
“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!”
“Marwa and Casey are amazing! Marwa is detail oriented and ensured Beanie felt at home as much as possible. They supplied us with updates throughout the day and were very responsive all times of the day. They took care of Beanie very well, 1000% will be booking again!”
“Chris did an excellent job with my little Moon! She was so accommodating and responsive to all his needs and whims! Chris will be the first person I look for if I ever need a sitter for my dog again😊”
“This is our first time boarding our babies and we couldn’t have picked a better and amazing person. Reynaldo kept us updated the entire time we were on our vacation. We have one extremely playful and huge puppy and one grumpy medium size old man. Two total opposites! But Reynaldo was able to keep them both busy and having fun! Our grumpy old man was even smiling in the couple of the pictures and came home soooo playful. While our terrible two puppy was completely worn out! Love it!!! I can not thank Reynaldo enough for taking care of our babies with no stress, complete professionalism, and his background and education of dogs definitely shows through his work. Already spoke and will utilize his other services that he offers. We are completely happy!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlawn
This is my first time using Rover and Sean made it a 10/10 experience! Especially with having a senior diabetic dog, he made sure he understood her routine and personality which gave me such a great peace of mind that she was in great hands. Nothing better than getting pictures on how well she was doing!
Nicole is a wonderful sitter! She truly loves dogs and animals, and it really shows in the way she cares for them. She took great care of Luffy and made us feel comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We really appreciate her kindness and care. Highly recommend Nicole!
Lauren did amazing with watching my golden retriever. I’ve never booked through Rover before so was a bit nervous beforehand but had a great experience. Lauren shared many photos and videos throughout my dogs stay keeping me up to date, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely rebook with her and highly recommend.
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.
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.

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 Woodlawn 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 Woodlawn 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodlawn. On Rover:
- 87% 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 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 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.
