“Kellyn took great care of our dog! We appreciated the periodic updates. I can tell that she went above and beyond in making sure Mariner was safe and comfortable. We look forward to booking again!”
“Couldn’t recommend her more! She was incredibly kind, loving, communicative, and truly treated my dogs like they were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing they were so well cared for, and they had the absolute best time playing with her two sweet pups. When I came to pick them up, I’m pretty sure they would have happily stayed forever—which is probably the best review they could give! So grateful to have found someone I can trust with them and would absolutely book with her again.”
“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.”
“We received regular updates and photos, which made being away so much easier. It was clear our dog was getting plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful for the kindness and care Rich showed, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!”

“Meghan, thank you for taking great care of Roxy. After I met you, I could see that I was leaving her I good hands and that she would be safe while we were away from her. She look very happy in all those cute pictures updates you sent…and we looked forward to getting new ones each day. And thank you for the gift you sent home with her. That was so sweet of you. I am sure she will enjoy playing with it and remember you. I will certainly keep your contact information handy for any future boarding needs for Roxy.”
“Ken did a wonderful job with Jackson! It was his first time with him. He was extremely communicative and kept me updated throughout the entire time with regular messages and pictures. It was so reassuring to see how well Jackson was doing and how much care Ken was giving him. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and the thoughtful updates — it made all the difference. Highly recommend!”
“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! 💕”
“Fabiola was the perfect sitter for Chance! Located very close by and took us on such a short notice. Her and her partner gave him so much love and attention. We know our boy is very attached, but she sent photos daily to ease both Chance and us! Fabiola took him on daily walks in the city and the photos were so sweet. We look forward to utilizing her services again and I’m sure Chance does as well!”
“Rey is a Dog Whisperer. This was Blue’s & Ruby’s first stay with him and they loved the companionship of all the other pups, big & small, who Rey has cooperatively and lovingly interacting. He sends a dozen photos each day to reassure you of their safety and contentment. On the worst stormy rainy day Rey said they all (about 10-13 boarders) went “dancing in the rain” utilizing a beautiful green rolling hill area. Rey is also a rescuer and provides a food pantry for those who can’t afford pet food. Rey is the best of Baltimore and needs to be recognized as an humanitarian institution.

“Chelsea did a PHENOMENAL job taking care of our Lany this weekend at Chelsea’s home. She’s punctual, very communicative, and treated Lany as if she was her own. She was thorough and asked all the right questions during the meet and greet, and we appreciated the frequent updates and pictures throughout the weekend. Lany looked like she was right at home when we picked her up! We whole-heartedly recommend Chelsea for your dog care needs.”
“Alex did an amazing job with my boys! I could tell from their smiling faces that they were being loved and well taken care of. I received prompt updates and pictures of them having a good time. He definitely made my trip worry free! I look forward to booking him again! Thanks again!”
“Shannon was very responsive to text and very understanding when we were running late to pick up our dog! She took great care of him and reassured us that he was safe and happy while we were away.”
“Jennifer was wonderful! Her home was very clean and comfortable, and she made me feel completely at ease leaving Kree in her care. Her dog Albert was great with Kree as well, and I really appreciated how accommodating and flexible Jennifer was with my pickup time. I would absolutely book with her again! 💕”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Baltimore
Demetrius has been one of the best Rover experiences. He recently boarded Jackson, and provided daily videos to reflect not only the care but also make me as the owner comfortable. Also, requested a last minute extension and it worked out. Thanks Demetrius for your prompt communication and early morning wake ups. Thank you.
Sarah and Parker were amazing to our little girl. Biggie thoroughly enjoyed her stay. So much so that she was a little depressy and moping around when we got home missing her new bestie Parker. We will certainly be using Sarah every time we need a sitter! We are so grateful for the great care you took with our girl Sarah! Sending tons of pup cuddles your way!
Aparna got our typically slow-to-warm pup to come out of his shell really quickly. She made sure Woodford got plenty of exercise and had activities to do in her home. I know all of this because of how well she communicated and how many pictures and videos we received. Will definitely ask for her again if she’s available!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Baltimore is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $67 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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Baltimore can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Baltimore home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Baltimore.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Baltimore. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Baltimore sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
