“Lorna was great with my fur baby. He is a puppy, so he is still a little hyper, but that did not bother her at all. She sent me updates and pictures and in the pictures, he was doing the same things he does at home so, I know he felt welcomed at her home.”
“Took wonderful care of our mini-golden doodle when we went away on a family vacation. Our dog warmed up to her immediately! She lets them get exercise and cuddles, is responsive and sends pics of their day. We will definitely ask Susan to watch our beloved furry family member again!”
“Watson had a great time with Esther and her two pups and I felt very comfortable leaving him with them over Thanksgiving weekend! I received daily updates so I knew how he was but I was also able to relax knowing he was well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Thank you so much! Geovanna was wonderful! Very communicative and friendly throughout the whole stay, and they made Sunny feel comfortable and cared for. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Kyra was fantastic— she boarded my dog Bruno for me for 13 days, and I would 100% recommend her. She sent updates and pictures throughout my trip, and I could tell my dog was happy and healthy when I got back. Her dog Karma was also so sweet and gentle with my dog. Definitely will use Kyra’s services in the future if needed!”
“Taylor was wonderful! She took such good care of my pups, I think they were sad to leave! Communication was perfect and she also sent lots of pics. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Leia was living her best life like she was at a pet resort. Marliez treated Leia like her own with great care and attention, making her feel right at home. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind! I’d definitely rebook with Marliez. Leia has 3 new friends and thinks she’s the boss of cats now!!”
“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!”
“Aida was a wonderful sitter and my dog had a great time with her! He enjoyed time spent in her large yard, many walks, and an overall comfortable stay. She shared frequent updates and pictures, and was happy to adapt to my dog’s routine and quirks. I felt so comfortable and was able to enjoy my trip, knowing my dog was in fabulous care.”
“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.”
“Hazel seems so happy and content after spending the Holidays with Mariah. Mariah was great at keeping me updated on her and even got Hazel to pose for pictures! Definitely would have her take care of Hazel in the future 😊”
“Guy took excellent care of Carmel while I was away. He was professional, attentive and genuinely caring. He ensured Carmel was well taken care of, and kept me updated with photos and messages. Carmel was happy and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend Guy, for his outstanding service!”

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!
Sean was great a fit for boarding my two girls Xena & Rogue! I went away for 10 days, they both got multiple daily trail walks, a quiet neighborhood, and a great living space on his ground floor. Sean would give a daily update most days with 1-2 photos so I could see they both looked well. I returned to two happy, healthy pups that seemed content being in Sean's home. Thank you Sean!
We are so happy that we found Helen to take care of our "four legged baby". Our dog was taken care like a king, knowing that Helen did such a wonderful job with our dog gave us piece of mind, we were able to relax during the time away from our dog. Helen send us great pictures of our dog. Helen is just fantastic!
Sarah is an absolute dream with both of my pups. They both adore her and her husband and love playing in her yard. She is super attentive and sends me lots of pictures every time they are with her. You can really tell how much she cares for animals. We are so lucky we found her!
P1 definitely had a great time, and we really appreciate the care you gave him. One small thing we noticed afterward was that all the food we prepared was gone, which ended up being a bit more than his usual amount. He had a couple more bowel movements than normal, so we think he may have been slightly overfed. Just wanted to mention this for future reference. Thank you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Arbutus on Rover is $36.38 per night (as of July 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 5,230 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.
