“Virginia and Steven took such great care of my dog. He had a great a few days with them. They kept me updated with daily photos and were very easy to communicate with. Overall, great, hassle-free experience.”
“Wow!! Cannot say enough good things about Robin and her family. Louie had a wonderful time and was pooped when he got home! He met so many new friends. Robins home was clean and she runs a very organized well managed doggy daycare. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“This was my first time ever using a sitter for my baby girl, and Morgan could not have provided a better service. She stayed in contact with me during the days leading up to the stay, and continued updating me with pictures and news during the stay. My fur baby came back to me happy and exhausted from all the play time with other dogs. I will definitely be returning to Morgan for future boarding for my baby girl”
“Ken and Felice have great empathy and understanding of all things dog related. The dogs get both inside and outside time in a large yard. My dogs are always happy to go to their house.”
“Thank you Megan for looking after Mushu for the week, finding and applying ointment to his scab that he scratched, and ensuring he had someone to play and cuddle with for the time I was away. Will be reaching out again in the future.”
“Priscilla was a very attentive and nurturing sitter. As a new dog mom, I was nervous to have my very anxious pup stay with a sitter, however, Priscilla is very clear and precise with how she cares for each pup, provides numerous check-ins with photos and gives the pups so much love and attention. I would highly recommend her and will be booking in the future!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and it was great! Brittanie and Ryan were flexible and easy to communicate with, shared photos throughout our pet’s stay, and overall made it easy to be away without worrying about her. Would definitely return the next time we need pet care!”
“Virginia was amazing. Our dog loved being at her house with her two dogs and was thoroughly worn out after playing at her house all day. Will definitely be using Virginia again.”
“Shruti and Hazel (her beautiful dog) took such great care of Nani. I was out of the country for 8 days and I honestly thought Nani might think she belonged to Shruti now! That's what great care they gave her!”
“Kellyn took great care of our dog! We appreciated the periodic updates. I can tell that she went above and beyond in making sure Mariner was safe and comfortable. We look forward to booking again!”
“This is the second time we have left our pup with Katie & her husband. They were extremely accommodating and trustworthy, agreeing to get our dog from our house while we were away. I looked forward to my detailed daily updates from Katie, complete with pictures. We will definitely trust them with our dog again & again!”
“She took such great care of our dog we had no worries at all while we were away. Also she sent us great photo updates, and great communication- very kind and easy drop off and pick up.”
“Excellent service! The sitter would send me videos every morning showing that he was walking my dog. My dog is also had some issues with his ears so he helped administer medication to him & brushed his teeth daily. very kind, personable & energetic sitter. Don’t hesitate to book him!”
“You can tell Liz and Jeff are dog lovers and good people generally. Greta had never stayed with them before, and we were very comfortable leaving her with them as soon as we met them. Jeff apparently spent the night on a sofa next to Greta because she seemed unsettled. Above and beyond, and hopefully not necessary next time we have them take care of Greta.”
“Anna & Christian are absolutely wonderful! They took excellent care of my senior girl and sent updates twice a day. I’m so thankful to have found such great sitters and will be booking them again soon!”
“Lingli was an amazing sitter and cared for my sweet boy with so much care and compassion. While away for a week, I was sent tons of photos and videos during Dill’s stay. I highly recommend Lingli and will definitely continue using services in the future. I know that while I am away, my sweet boy will be in great hands, in a safe environment.”

We know our dog will always be in good hands here!! We love the updates we get everyday with pics/videos. Robin and her family are so organized and give every dog exceptional love and care :) I highly recommend to go with their services if you want a trustworthy and caring family to take care of your dog!
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!
Nikki truly cares about the dogs she watches. She is attentive, keeps us notified of how our dog is doing, and works very well with senior dogs or ones who need a little extra care. We recently moved further away, but I’ll be willing to drive a bit more for Nikki to watch our dog.
Jessica was absolutely amazing with our dog! It was our first time boarding, and she made us feel completely at ease. She took such great care of our dog and sent us daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our dog was happy and well cared for. We will definitely trust Jessica again and will absolutely use her pet-sitting services in the future. Highly, highly recommend!
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!
Leah & Jada made Butters feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved from the start. They were generous with updates and incredibly transparent throughout his stay, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. Butters settled in immediately and truly seemed at home. It was clear he was in great hands, and their thoughtful, attentive care meant so much. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Arbutus on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,128 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Arbutus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Arbutus sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Arbutus landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Arbutus 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 Arbutus.
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 Arbutus 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.
