“Brandon was so accommodating and kind when I needed a last minute sitter. He sent lots of pictures and updated me that Molly was doing well. Molly seemed like she had a blast playing with his dog and getting to run around in the backyard”

“Shaun did an amazing job with my dog Goofy. He sent updates and pics which put me at ease leaving goofy for a week long! Shaun is very pleasant and trustworthy and I will be using him for future trips and needs!”

“Archie had such an amazing visit with Elisha again. She provided daily pictures and updates. She keeps him active and he loves his visits her with her. Would highly recommend her for a dog sitter”

“Sarah sent me lots of pics and kept me updated on how my dog was doing throughout her stay. She was super responsive and super flexible with my last minute ask! I would definitely board Peanut with her again.”

“Demetrius watched our dog Taz and quickly became one of his favorite people!!! We got updates throughout the day about how well they were doing together. It usually takes Taz a long time to warm up to people, leading us to consider Demetrius a dog whisperer!!! We are so grateful for him and look forward to bringing Taz back to stay with him and Sebastian again in the future! Highly recommend!”

“Jasmine was wonderful! She kept both of my dogs over a long weekend and they had so much fun. She sent daily pictures and videos and she was always in contact with me. I will definitely use her again.”

“Im always nervous to drop off Adonis with anyone because he is very unpredictable meaning nervous. But Lia was great to him. Leaving for my daughter nationals so many miles away and she was great! Definitely will book again.”


“Veronica took wonderful care of our dog, Latte, and we couldn't be happier with his stay. Everything was clean, organized, and felt very safe. Latte also had the opportunity to socialize with other small dogs, which he really enjoyed. One thing we especially appreciated was the structure Veronica provided. She was also a great problem solver when it came to Latte's resource guarding tendencies and handled the situation with confidence and care, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Veronica kept us updated throughout his stay by sending pictures and letting us know how he was doing. She was always very responsive whenever we had a question, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. Her husband was also incredibly kind when he welcomed Latte and genuinely seemed to enjoy having him as a guest. It was clear that they both truly care about the dogs they look after. We highly recommend Veronica and would absolutely trust her with Latte again!”

“Taylor took great care of Coco while we went on vacation. She sent pics throughout Coco’s stay and Coco seemed to be right at home. Thank you Taylor for caring for our pup! We will definitely use Taylor again.”

“Esther and Yi did a great job taking care of our two dogs. They communicated frequently, provided photo updates, and were extremely accommodating with pick up and drop off times. I would highly recommend.”

“Karla is super responsive and took the best care of our dog, Ruthie. Ruthie can be pretty particular in her older age, and she was so comfortable with Karla. Loved the detailed updates and many photos! Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.”

“Kyra took great care of our baby and his joint needs. She took lots of pictures and gave him his meds. We loved the updates! We will definitely use her again!!”

“Odessa was great! This was my very first time using Rover and the first time ever going on a week-long vacation and leaving my dog with someone, so I was super nervous. Odessa was very reassuring. She sent updates and photos of Rozay, which eased my mind and made me feel so much better as the days went by. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her on my next trip.”

“Aida was a great sitter for my pup. She was very communicative with me and very attentive towards him. I was able to have peace of mind while on vacation as I was updated with pics and activities throughout each day I was gone. I highly recommend Aida for any of your dog sitting needs.”

“Cheryl was awesome! She welcomed my fur baby into her home and treated him like her own. She provided updates, pictures, and videos. And as a bonus my fur baby got to hang out with her beautiful daughter. I could not ask for a more "genuinely" compassionate, and loving family to leave my boy with. I would completely use her again. Thank you so much Cheryl!!!”

“Maryfe was amazing! She was responsive, kind, and incredibly understanding, especially when my flight was canceled and I needed to extend Henry’s stay by an extra day. She treated Henry like family and gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and the love she showed Henry.”

“Guy was a fantastic host for our pup! He was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and kept us informed throughout our trip. At pickup time our dog tried to go back inside 😭. Would highly recommend Guy for an overnight stay.”

“Reynaldo was great! The dogs looked like they were having constant fun and being well cared for. He's also funny and personable, setting me at ease from the first moment on. I've been looking for the person I want to stick with long-term for a long time and I finally found him!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arbutus
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 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.
