“Excellent! We absolutely loved Elisha and her family — Mia and even Dado (her sweet dog) 🐶. They were incredible with our new puppy and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in their care. We truly feel confident booking longer stays in the future. Elisha also shared so many beautiful photos from just one night of boarding, which meant a lot to us. We’re so grateful for the updates and the care. 💛”
“My experience with Fallon was amazing! For my first time booking with her, she made sure to ask all the important questions about my dog Bodhi so that she knew exactly how to care for him. Her knowledge on dog behavior and handling made me confident that she could deal with any problems that might arise (but thankfully there were none)! I also loved the daily updates and photos of Bodhi while I was away. I'll definitely be booking with Fallon again in the future!”
“Aster helped us in a very last minute pinch when our dog sitting plans fell through for an out of town vacation! Our puppy is under a year old and has a leg injury so required some special attention and care. This made us extra nervous to leave her but we received so many wonderful updates throughout our trip. Our pup loved her time away because of how awesome Aster and her family took care of her. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Aida sent pictures daily and made sweet observations about our pup, letting me know she sees him for who he is! She showed enormous patience and understanding. Will definitely rebook!”
“Jenna and her family were amazing with our dogs and. They loved spending the time with her. Her communication was extraordinary during our stay. We look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“Nikki seemed very knowledgeable sweetheart how to take care of our dog's anxiousness and energy from the get go. It helped a lot that she had a fully fenced yard and no pets of her own when we booked her. From meet and greet to pick up, she made it easy for everyone. We specially appreciated her updates and our dog truly enjoyed staying at her place. We also appreciated the tips and other feedback she gave us, as we are first time pet owners and our dog has some unique needs. Definitely will use her services again.”
“We are first time rover users and Rodney and Marissa were amazing! Rocki had a blast because her sitters spoke her love language!! She loves play, being spoiled and the center of attention!! Rodney and Marissa thanks!!! Getting pictures and updates of her in her element while we were away eased our worry and helped us to fully enjoy our trip. I’m so glad Rocki had fun and we look forward to her next stay!! Rodney and Marissa are definitely the new surrogate parents from here out!! Thanks guys”
“Amanda was so great with my nervous girl Xena, she provided a safe, loving home for her to stay in. Amanda was also amazing with providing detailed updates and photos. I would give 10 stars if I could.”
“Nichole was great with Cody! Cody is an older dog, and she was so wonderful in looking out for him and his additional needs. We felt comfortable leaving him with her, and we were thrilled to hear that Cody and Prissy got along so well! It was a great match, and we will definitely book with Nichole again in the future.”
About: I know how special our pets are in our lives. I will bring the same care, love and affection I have provided for my own fur babies to yours. Pet care fits into my schedule during the morning and afternoon hours around 4 pm. I am pretty flexible with my schedule so can adjust when needed. Much like children I have babysat in the past - keeping a safe environment is vital to everyone’s safety. With pets this is the same principle. Making sure everyone is safe and happy is my top priority.
“Lisa was excellent. From the moment I dropped Diamond off, I sensed great vibes and knew my dog was in good hands. She frequently sent videos and pictures and stuck to Diamond’ schedule. I would definitely recommend her for boarding. Thanks Lisa!!! 🤩🤩🤩”
“Ozzy had so much fun with Jill and made a new puppy friend at the dog park. Jill was wonderful and was so responsive when I was checking in. She sent me some photos of Ozzy so I could see how much fun he was having - and how tired he got after playing all day! Thanks Jill!!! We appreciate you taking such good care of our fur baby. ❤️”
“Theresa is exceptional! We were a bit nervous to leave our boy, Otto, for the first time. Daily check ins from Theresa put us at ease. It was clear from the pictures that he was as comfy and happy as can be in Theresa’s home. We will definitely be reaching out to Theresa next time we have to leave our boy in good hands.”

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!
Absolutely amazing service and care. Gambino always wants to stay longer. He gets so excited when I tell him we are going to “daycare.” He will wait by the door until I finish getting ready for work because he’s so excited to be going to see Miss Virginia and Mr. Steve and his “fwens” lol 😀
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 Pet Boarding in Arbutus on Rover is $37.45 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,248 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Arbutus. About 91% of Arbutus sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
