About: 🐾Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been much more than a responsibility…it’s a lifelong passion! With over 30 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, communication, and individual needs. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to understand dogs beyond their behavior to recognize what they may be communicating. I pay close attention to their body language, recognize subtle signs of stress or discomfort, and adapt my approach to help each dog feel understood and secure. I have extensive experience handling dogs with different personalities, from energetic and playful companions to shy, sensitive, or more reserved dogs. I understand that building trust requires patience, consistency, and respect for each dog’s individual temperament. I also understand that puppies, adult dogs, and seniors have very different physical and emotional needs. I believe in providing thoughtful, individualized care appropriate to each stage of life. Above all, I genuinely love what I do. Every dog deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and respect, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s beloved companion very seriously.🐾 ✂️ Professional Grooming Available! I also offer grooming services upon request for an additional fee. Pricing is customized based on your dog’s breed, size, coat condition, and individual grooming needs. 🐾I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day and provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily routine, and I enjoy making sure every guest feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, outdoor breaks, exercise, playtime, and relaxation according to each dog’s individual needs.🐾 🐾Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I provide a clean, peaceful, and carefully managed home environment where every guest receives personalized attention and care. My boarding guests have their own designated areas, completely separate from my personal dogs. This allows me to maintain a safe, structured environment while respecting each dog’s individual needs and personal space. I provide comfortable dog beds and cozy blankets so every guest has a welcoming space to rest and relax. My home features a fully fenced yard where guests can enjoy supervised outdoor activities, exercise, and bathroom breaks. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or signs of discomfort to ensure every guest receives the care they need. I believe that maintaining familiar routines, providing a calm environment, and respecting each dog’s individual personality are essential to helping them feel secure and comfortable while away from home.🐾
“Dorian did a great job taking care of my fur baby. My dog is an older dachshund who is still energetic so I worry about him with sitters, but Dorian put my mind at ease by communicating with me well. From what I was told Obi had a great time playing with kids and taking lots of breaks that may or may not have included some mud baths lol. Thank you Dorian.”
“Nat and Ally took great care of my dog and I can tell he had a great time and was a part of the family for the few days he was there. I got plenty of photos of my dog hanging with their dog and children and he always looked relaxed and happy. Great communication!”
About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been a huge part of my life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, I’ve learned that every pup is different and deserves care that’s just as unique as they are. For the past 7+ years, I’ve also been fostering dogs through local rescues. Helping dogs transition from uncertain beginnings into loving homes has been incredibly rewarding and has given me experience with many different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. The idea of boarding dogs in my home came from a challenge I faced myself — finding a place that truly felt safe, loving, and comfortable for my own dogs when I had to go away. I wanted more than just a place for them to stay. I wanted them to feel cared for, understood, and treated like family. When your dog stays with me they will enjoy plenty of safe, supervised playtime in a large, fully fenced yard, giving them space to run, explore, and burn off those zoomies. Whether your dog loves active play or relaxing cuddle time, their comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. We’re used to having dogs around and all the activity and responsibility that comes with them, so caring for pets feels like a normal part of everyday life. When we don’t have any extras here, the house actually feels a little too quiet—like something is missing! I want every pet in my home to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I try to keep their routine and familiar comforts as much as I can—if they sleep in the bed at home, they’re welcome in the bed here; if they love curling up on the couch, that’s where they’ll be. My goal is to make their stay feel like a vacation, not a kennel stay. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and right at home while their family is away.
“My Pom has practically become part of their family. He loves them so much and I’m so grateful to have found this sweet couple and my Jaggers adopted brother and sister pups to play with ! Lol!”
“This was our puppy’s second time staying overnight with Rachel and Jason, and we couldn’t be happier. They send pictures and updates, which brings us so much peace of mind while we’re away. They give him so much love, and it’s clear he has the best time with them. We will definitely be back and can’t recommend them enough!”
“Tanya is fantastic! She sent daily photo updates and Yogi always looked happy! Great peace of mind while I was 500 miles away. I would highly recommend leaving your pup in her hands and giving them a stay at her beautiful home.”
“Cameron did an amazing job with Zeke! I will absolutely be using him again. He was responsive, sent photos, kept me updated. I could not have asked for a better Rover. A plus is that Zeke was totally wiped after spending a few days at Cameron's place. Cameron has a huge backyard which Zeke took full advantage of! Thanks again, Cameron.”
“Fantastic dog sitter! They agreed to help out last minute, which was such a lifesaver, and communication was excellent from start to finish. I always felt updated and reassured throughout the stay, and it was clear my dog was in great hands. Reliable, responsive, and caring. I would absolutely book with them again!”
“Varsha is awesome and we knew our pup Teddy was in good hands. It started with a meet and greet where Varsha showed us her nice clean home. We went on vacation and received several updates via texts and pictures each day so we could see his progress socializing with other pups. It was also important not to leave our pup with large dogs who can be aggressive. Because Varsha only keeps small dogs this was not an issue. Teddy made lots of new friends and had fun exploring. I highly recommend Varsha as she was attentive to both our needs and our pup’s needs.”
“Matt was super easy to work with and took good care of our Aussie, who was hesitant to leave him when we went to pick her up! It’s so nice to find a dog sitter who works from home like we do. Highly recommend Matt.”
“Hannah took great care of my dog, Sheru, and kept me updated while I was traveling. She was responsive and flexible with drop-off and pickup arrangements. She also noticed signs of a possible UTI and thoughtfully suggested checking with a vet. I really appreciated her care and concern for Sheru. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”
“Thank you Jaxon for taking great care of Mae And Falkor, our two senior goldendoodles. They were well loved and seemed very happy staying with him and his family. He sent regular photos and updates. Falkor assumed his regular spot, comfortably laying on his back mid sofa. Jaxon gave medication no problem. He has a large grass backyard.”

“Jill is amazing. She loves your dog like you cannot imagine. I have never used this site nor had I ever left my dog with someone who was not family or a close friend. We had plans to go away for a week and plan a and b fell through last minute. I needed to find the right dog sitter quickly. I am very particular about how my dog is cared for and who is caring for him so we "interviewed" people whom we felt would be best from this app. Jill was our second interview. She was the one and we quickly knew it. Her energy is calm, genuine and compassionate. She far exceeded our expectations, even to the detail of her questions about caring for Brody. She is loving, caring, and really knows a lot about dogs. She wanted to make sure my dog was comfortable and we were comfortable with leaving him with her. I got regular picture updates and communication. Her love and care for Brody made this experience more than amazing. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was with Jill. I cannot thank her enough. I thank God for connecting us with Jill.”
“Ameneh and Niki went far above and beyond while sitting our Shiba Inu during January 2026. We had not one but three plane cancellations due to the large winter storm resulting us being unable to pick up our dog for an entire week longer than expected. Ameneh was very flexible and highly responsive to messages, assuring us that our boy would be well cared for despite our delay and sending frequent pictures. Most significantly, our dog suffers from seizures and takes medicine to prevent them - when he ran out of seizure medication, Ameneh and Niki traveled to our house and retrieved more medication. I would undoubtedly recommend them to care for your pet as they will make every effort to keep your pet safe and happy; even in extremely extenuating circumstances!”

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.
Oakley and Navea had an amazing stay with Dan over Christmas. I could tell they got tons of exercise because they were happily worn out when I picked them up. Dan was very friendly, kept us updated, and was flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend—would definitely book 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.
93% of sitters in Woodspring 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 Woodspring 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 Woodspring.
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 Woodspring. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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 Woodspring 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.
