“James was so great with our pup! We are usually wary of having others watch her due to her unsureness with new people and other dogs, but James took such amazing care of her! She got all the care and attention she could possibly want during her time with him, and James kept us informed the whole length of her stay. We highly recommend James!”
“This was our pet’s second stay with Susan and he got so excited in the car as if he knew where he was! He walked in and immediately ran to Susan to say hello and started making himself at home by emptying the toy basket. He enjoyed plenty of walks outside and we could tell he was def comfortable and had a nice time!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Liz & Jeff. They treated my pup like one of their own his entire stay. They sent me so many pictures and video updates which was so reassuring since I had to go out of town super last minute. I was 30 minutes late picking my pup up due to traffic and they were so accommodating and understanding. 10/10 recommend them! I will definitely be using them again :) thanks again Liz & Jeff!”
“Winston always enjoys his time at Brandi's! Her dogs are friendly and playful and there's a huge yard for them to run around in. Brandi is an experienced dog owner who is great about sending pics and providing honest feedback about any issues she noticed. Winston has stayed with Brandi twice now on overnights and we'll definitely continue to book in the future!”
“Nicole was great! Gave us continual updates/pictures & kept my pup active and well taken care of. I would absolutely use Nicole again and recommend her to others!”
“Junie comes back happy and healthy! We received lots of great pictures of her walks and hangout time with dog friends. Julia is quick to respond to messages and knows a lot about dog behavior.”
“Geovanna was absolutely amazing with my fur babies while I was out of the country! She updated me every single day and sent the sweetest photos of my girls, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My oldest, Cali, can be a bit feisty at times, but Geovanna handled everything so well and I am incredibly grateful. She was also extremely responsive, immediately answering any questions I had. To top it off, when my flight got delayed, she was so understanding and accommodating about extending the time. We all know things happen when traveling, and she made a stressful situation so much easier! I would definitely use Geovanna again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for safe, loving hands for their pets. 🤍🐶”
“We had to go out of town last minute and Jingru gracefully accepted our request to watch the dogs. We received multiple updates throughout their stay and they came home tired and happy. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing! So accommodating and kind as I kept changing the drop off and pick up times due to driving from New York. Got great pictures and my pup was so happy when I picked her up! 10/10 would recommend again!”
“Meagan did a good job with Stormy. She was very responsive and kept me updated throughout my whole vacation. It was my first time leaving my dog for that long and I felt at ease.”
“Shannon is great! My dog had an amazing time (he is happy and exhausted after playing for 4 days straight!) and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for daycare or boarding. She was kind enough to do a meet and greet before my dog stayed the night, and sent pictures and updates every day. It's so nice to know that your pup is safe and loved when you are away, and Shannon made me feel super confident every step of the way!”
“Karla took incredible care of Wow. She sent daily updates describing their activities and included tons of action shots. I felt like she loved my pet as her own! Couldn’t have asked for more.”
“Our pets felt right at home with Janice and Stalio. They were so welcoming, helpful and accommodating with our boys. They kept us up to date daily with pictures and messages and even helped us out with making them their food because we miscounted the amount we sent. They provided amazing care and we look forward to rebooking with them in the future.”
“This was my first time using Roover and I can say Jessica surpassed my expectations for a sitter. I was hesitant to leave our puppy with just anyone, but after meeting Jessica I knew he was in good hands. I look forward to using her in the future.”
“Keiwana and her gorgeous family took amazing care of our 4 month old puppy Rosie. They were so kind and patient - Rosie made more than a few mistakes but they were so understanding and graceful about it. Keiwana also sent us so many great pictures of Rosie throughout the weekend! Rosie made some new friends with their sweet dog Bailey and two little girls, and she didn’t want to leave when we came to get her! (but when we did get back home, she was so tired and napped like an angel). We would most definitely use them again (but maybe when Rosie’s older so their beautiful house doesn’t get any more puppy damage!!) Thank you SO MUCH to Keiwana & family!!”
“Jacquline was very efficient with feedback and she sent pictures of bailey enjoying her time with Jacquline family. Jacquline is kind and loves animals. She and her daughter was the perfect match for bailey while I was on vacation. I would definitely work with Jacquline 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!”
“Excellent sitter for my dog who tends to be anxious in a new environment. My dog had a stomach issue and Linda took care of him as if he was her own. . My dog didn’t want to leave! Linda provided 5 STAR service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Jill and her husband are taking care of dogs full time and so know a lot about dogs. There were several other dogs there when we boarded her for 2 days. She loves to play with other dogs and so I’m sure she had a great time as she was very tired when she got home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arbutus
Geovanna was absolutely wonderful with Freya! She was able to help us on such short notice, and we’re so grateful for how welcoming she and her family were. She sent us consistent updates throughout Freya’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Freya looked so happy, comfortable, and like she was genuinely enjoying her time with them. 🥰 We seriously can’t thank Geovanna enough for taking such great care of our girl and welcoming her into her home. We’ll absolutely keep her in mind anytime we’re back in the area and need someone to watch Freya again. Highly recommend! 💕
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!
They always enjoy watching our dog Kygo while we’re away on vacation. Update us with messages and pictures and make us feel at ease knowing he’s with people who care about him and treat him like he’s their own. Will definitely continue to use them in the future when needed! Thanks again!
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 $36.63 per night (as of August 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 5,186 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.
