“April took great care of our dog Charlie! She was very attentive and was flexible with some last minute medication our dog needed. She was also on top of keeping us updated throughout his stay.”


“Nina place is Ramsey's home away from home! He absolutely LOVES going to Ninas. It feels great leaving him with someone I can trust whenever I go out of town. Thanks Nina!!”

“Jasmine took wonderful care of our dog Hank over a long weekend for us. Hank came home happy and healthy and had a fun time with Jasmine! Jasmine is communicative, flexible, responsive, and a real animal lover. Your pets are in good hands here with her!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was born. I’ve always loved all breeds and enjoy helping others with their fur babies. I’ve helped train puppies as well as taken care of geriatric dogs so I’m well versed in all types of dog care! I’m working full time outside of the city. However I’m interested in taking care of your pet on weekdays after 4pm or any time on the weekends! I’m near a park in the city for easy walking + sniffing ☺️. My home is clean and pet free for boarding. I’m very communicative and provide daily pictures of your fur baby.
“Thank you so much!! We had a quick trip planned and Kyasia was able to help us out when our daycare in Pensacola couldn’t take our dog Nova. 11/10 recommend! Would have her watch Nova again. 😊 She even sent us a picture to show us how much fun Nova was having!”

“Shanikki was amazing! She made me so comfortable with leaving my hyperactive puppy. If she is willing to have us, we will definitely return!! Thank you for being so reassuring!”

“This is my second time using Adrienne and she was just as wonderful as last time. Flint doesn’t like being in unknown locations but he seemed to become comfortable in her apartment much quicker than usual. She was also helpful with some health issues he was having and required a little extra care, and I am very grateful to her for that.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – An Amazing Experience for Roxy! 🐾💜 I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Leaving Roxy behind while I went on vacation was so much easier knowing she was in such loving and caring hands. From the beginning, Vanessa and her family made Roxy feel like part of their own family! I received lots of pictures and updates throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. But what impressed me the most was seeing Roxy getting along with the other dogs! Anyone who knows Roxy knows that she’s not usually the most social with other pups, so seeing her comfortable, happy, and interacting with them was such a pleasant surprise! It was clear that Roxy wasn’t just being watched, she was being loved, cared for, and given the attention she needed. That means everything to me! I’m beyond grateful for the wonderful care Roxy received and would absolutely trust this family with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, loving, and welcoming home away from home for their fur baby! 🐶💕”

“Brew seemed to have a great weekend with Alessandra and her pup! I’m so appreciative of her taking him out for adventures, as well as accepting our last minute request! She’s very communicative and keeps you updated with photos.”


“Our pup had a great time with Ece! She took her on lots of walks and to the dog park and sent us photos while we were away. We look forward to rebooking in the future.”

“Excellent experience with Shannon for my first Rover booking. Shannon was easy to work with, good communications and sent lots of picts of Blake while I travelled. He seemed happy and having fun, got along with other dogs in Shannon's care. I would definitely book again next time I need to board Blake for travel.”

“Jasmine was great! My dog is scared of strangers, but she got comfortable with Jasmine quickly. She sent pictures of my dog everyday and was very communicative. I will definitely be booking again :)”

“We had a wonderful experience with Danielle! She took exceptional care of Chuckles and followed his feeding and walking routine perfectly. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with Danielle and highly recommend her services to other pet parents!”

“We loved having Gina watch our dog, Camden. She sent lots of pictures and videos which made us feel so comfortable. He’s been sleeping ever since we picked him up so I know he had a great time! Would definitely rebook with her and highly recommend.”

“Tanya was great! She took excellent care of Hemi and Benzo for an extended weekend. Tanya sent us regular videos/pictures, kept us updated, responded to us promptly and followed all instructions perfectly. Our dogs got plenty of exercise outside during the day and lots of playtime at the dog park too. We really appreciated the reliable and caring service!”

“Donnell and his wife took amazing care of my young German Shepherd male named Harry. They updated me frequently and made sure to send me lots of photos. Harry loved hanging out with their two cute pups and followed Donnell everywhere. I felt so safe and confident to have him in their care while I traveled for business and couldn’t be more thankful. I would recommend this family 100% to watch any breed of dog because of their experience and passion for dogs. Thank you guys!”

“Qingbo is the very best sitter. She takes such great care of the dogs and keeps a good routine. She always updates us with photos and videos. We are pleased once again and will use her services again!”

“Brian was absolutely wonderful with our two boys. We felt very at ease knowing they were being well taken care of and enjoying hanging out with Duke. Highly recommend Brian for in-home boarding and will be using him again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arbutus
This is my first time using Rover and Sean made it a 10/10 experience! Especially with having a senior diabetic dog, he made sure he understood her routine and personality which gave me such a great peace of mind that she was in great hands. Nothing better than getting pictures on how well she was doing!

Nicole is a wonderful sitter! She truly loves dogs and animals, and it really shows in the way she cares for them. She took great care of Luffy and made us feel comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We really appreciate her kindness and care. Highly recommend Nicole!

Lauren did amazing with watching my golden retriever. I’ve never booked through Rover before so was a bit nervous beforehand but had a great experience. Lauren shared many photos and videos throughout my dogs stay keeping me up to date, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely rebook with her and highly recommend.

Zaakira and her dog Diesel was terrific company for my Jacey! Even after just meeting, the pups got along wonderfully and I was at ease leaving him there in good hands. Received lots of photos and videos and check ins, will definitely be rebooking and recommend Zaakira!

Once again my precious fur baby spent an extended time with Ginnie and Steve and the whole gang while I was away and he was loved, and cared for and had a bunch of fun. I know I can trust them to look after him and make him comfortable, even if he wants some quiet time under the bed. LOL Knowing he is safe and having fun, allows me to enjoy my holiday too. Thank you for all you do.

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!

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!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Arbutus is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 5,297 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
