“La Tasha always takes care of Ace as if he is her own. I don’t know what I’d ever do if she wasn’t available to watch my Ace. Very caring and loving environment. Love the checkins and updates”

“So satisfied with Taylor B. She took such wonderful care of my fur baby. She sent lots of pictures and videos which allowed me to see how well he was doing. I definitely plan to use her again. I highly recommend her services!!”
“Well, well - I am appreciative of this particular sitter! Her and her husband met me in the parking lot with my pets (Puppy/ Kitten). Very cordial, respectful and professional! I thought I had everything in place but realized when I left that my bag of just purchased food (Wet) was sitting on the passenger side floor. She took care of me and I reimbursed upon pet retrieval of which she brought to me due to their time constraints! :-) Updated me with multiple welfare pics of both of my kiddies. She took such great care of them, I thought I'd have issues with them coming home! Lol! Reasonable price for GREAT care! Will rebook again in the very near future. Plus they are close to me in terms of location! ChatGPT analysis - It sounds like you had a fantastic experience with your pet sitter! It's great that they were so thoughtful and went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of—even handling the food situation without any fuss. Plus, the fact that they kept you updated with welfare pics is a huge bonus, especially when you're away from your pets! It really shows how much they care. Sounds like you're all set to rebook, especially with the convenience of location and a reasonable price for top-notch care. Do you have any particular things you're looking forward to when booking with them again? Or anything you’d want to add to your next experience? She plays the drums! - Wow! I approve of this review! Thank You!”
“Robyn came through when I needed it! Very personable, professional and accommodating! Looking forward to establishing a long lived boarding a relationship for the very near future! ;-)”
About: I’ve had experience in pet sitting for minimum 10 years. Attention to detail and care for pets needs come first. Restrictions if any are considered as well. Morning, mid day, and evening walks are a must. As well as feeding, as frequent or less as needed. Pets will remain hydrated and have ample play time and relaxation time throughout the day. I offer a fenced yard with a seperate play area inside of home dedicated to pets. There will be ample space inside, or outside of home for pets to flourish and plenty of dog parks available if preferred.
“Honey had a great time with Kareema. They took great care of her and attended to her personal needs. I was updated with pictures daily, and response time was very fast. I will definitely use again. Thanks for everything.”
“Ms. Alana is the best! This was the first time I ever boarded my fur baby and I was a nervous wreck. She took excellent care of my fur baby Truffle and I will be using her services from here on out.”
About: I have six years of deep, hands-on experience raising and loving my own sweet fur baby. Being a dedicated pet parent taught me every aspect of dog care from maintaining strict, feeding and medication schedules to reading, subtle body language handling daily walks and providing comfort during storms or anxiety. I lost my baby girl in March 😢 and that showed me how irreplaceable our pets. Are I now know firsthand that your pet isn’t just your animal. They are your family. I treat every dog in my care with the same exact patience, tenderness, and safety first mindset that I gave my own. Pet care fits into my schedule because I managed my own flexible schedule from home. Pet care just fits in naturally. It’s my passion. I have a large two bedroom apartment and I have plenty of living space and I also have a dog park provided by my community.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I make sure every dog feels happy, safe, and loved while their family is away. I have the flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I can easily fit in walks, playtime, or drop-in visits around my work schedule to make sure your dog gets lots of love and attention. have a fenced yard, so dogs can enjoy outdoor time safely. I always make sure they’re comfortable, supervised, and surrounded by a calm, loving environment.
“After reviewing several profiles, Randi was an excellent match for our fur baby. Our first meeting was a great first impression which put me at ease with leaving Justice with a new sitter. Randi/husband took great care of our fur baby. She sent pictures and updates daily. We highly recommend selecting Randi to entrust your pet with.”
“Jessica did a great job with our 3 month old puppy. This was our first vacation away and our puppy was to young to be boarded at a kennel. We loved the idea of him staying at a home with a large yard and tons of attention. Jessica sent pictures and updates daily. It was so nice of her to wash all of his bedding, I was presently surprised when I got home and realized his bed was the cleanest I ever seen. Our puppy didn’t want to leave. We will definitely book with her again! Thank you”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing! She noticed that my dog was showing signs of a health issue and didn't hesitate to take him to emergency care. He ended up needing surgery and when the vet offered the option of letting him go home or keeping him at the vet as he recovered Lauren let us know that she was comfortable and capable of taking care of him afterwards (saving me thousands of dollars). When he showed complications after surgery she took him once again to get him help. Even the vet was impressed with how well he was being cared for. Lauren was literally a life savor. I was very stressed not being able to be there with my dog throughout all of this but was greatly comforted by the fact that I knew he was in capable and caring hands.”
“Lynette & Vincent were AMAZING with my babygirl Snickers! Snicks has bad separation anxiety to the point where she won't eat and can be super antisocial but by the end of her stay with Lynette & Vincent she was more social and eating more. They sent lots of pics, which I truly appreciated, and I could see that my fur baby was really enjoying herself. I will def book with them again the next time I travel.”
“Rae took good care of Jax. She took him in after a very last minute request from me to board for a weekend and was communicative. Would recommend her for anyone needing dog care boarding.”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my commitment to providing dependable, attentive, and personalized care for every dog I look after. I understand that pets are family, and I want owners to feel confident knowing their furry family members are in good hands\. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away\. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to make sure they feel loved, receive plenty of attention, and have a positive experience\. I also believe communication is important, so I want owners to have peace of mind knowing how their pets are doing. I am currently unemployed, so I will have plenty of time to care for and watch after pets. I am available 24/7 for boarding and available for walks Monday-Friday 6am-8pm. I have toys for the pets and I have 3 daughters that love pets and are loved by pets and do a good job making the pets feel safe and loved. Your pet will be in good hands and comfortable.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Zekiah Valley
Diane and Alvin are the best hands down. I have trusted her with my dogs many times and each time she exceeds expectations with her care and attention and patience. This time my mom also brought her little anxious Yorkiepoo to stay with Diane and she put him at ease so quickly and because they got along so well we were all able to rest easy on our vacation.

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 Zekiah Valley 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 Zekiah Valley 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 Zekiah Valley.
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.

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.
