“Carlie was a pleasure to work with and was super communicative with me for our Goldens care...She was also flexible and understanding when an unexpected sickness arose (which was not related to her care in any way) Would recommend her and will use her again for sure!”
“Kelly G was amazing with Luna. She made Luna feel like she was at home with us and Luna didn’t miss a beat while we were gone. She did a tremendous job with everything overall. I would recommend Kelly G to anyone and everyone who needs a dog sitter. She sent plenty of updates and pictures and made our first time using a dog sitter a great overall experience. Thanks Kelly G”
“Mary Sue was very responsive, sent photos and updates while we were away. We were very comfortable having Riley stay with her. She has a lovely home and plenty of room for the dogs to play on the porch. We highly recommend Mary Sue.”
“Lauren did an excellent job taking care of Tuco. I really appreciated the multiple updates with videos and photos. Lauren and her husband could not have been nicer. Tuco is looking forward to his next sleepover!”
“Margit and Bill are great with our dog Peaches. They send lot of picture and Peaches has a great time with her other dogs. Peaches feels right at home!! We have been very lucky to have such a great environment for our dog.”
“Olsen came back happy and exhausted from his time spent with Jill! She sent us updates and it gave us peace of mind to know Olsen had people and animals to play with while we were gone.”
“Let me start by saying we’ve never left our dogs overnight let alone with a total stranger. We left for 9 days and have 3 dogs and I was so nervous and had a thousand questions and accommodations I needed fulfilled. Samantha was absolutely incredible. If I could give 100 stars I would. My dogs were so loved and cared for the entire time they were in her care. The pictures I got each day were just filled with joy in each of my dogs faces. If I could afford to send them there for playtime everyday I definitely would!!! Two of my dogs had stomach issues on the 5th day or so and she made them chicken and rice and pumpkin for their meals until they felt better. She trimmed their nails. She washed their bedding. I mean what more could you ask for?! Do not hesitate in sending your animals with her. She is the best of the best! I will be sending my dogs to her house anytime we go out of town… worry free!!”
“These guys are outstanding! Susan gave me so much confidence socializing my dog. Dogs of all sizes are there and Susan takes care of each one of them with kindness and love. She is an absolute expert. Would highly recommend Susan and Bob. We will be taking our dog back there for all our play dates and long trips.”
“Daniela is absolutely awesome! She gave frequent updates and pictures of my dogs during their stay. I never had any concern that they were not in great hands! Would definitely recommend her and will use again if I need it!! 10/10!”
“Lacey was amazing with my fur babies, even my 55lbs of crazy lol. They both came home happy and calmer than I even expected, she needs to tell me her secret to calm my crazy girl lol. I will only be using Lacey for my fur babies care in the future!!”
“Amy is amazing. She is kind and flexible and has done amazing job caring for Kalooki. We don’t have to feel guilty about leaving her behind because she is always excited to visit and has a great time either Amy’s family and the other pets to have fun with. Amy sends great photos and videos along the way that give us insights into her daily activities and friendships. She always comes home from her “vacations” exhausted in a good way, which is the best outcome of vacations for her humans too. Highly recommend!”
“Lamar and his family are absolutely amazing! We found out at the last minute that our Airbnb didn’t allow pets, and I was devastated trying to find someone I could trust to care for my little guy. From the moment we met Lamar, he made us feel so welcome and immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout Gus’s stay, he sent us photos and updates, which meant so much and reassured us that he was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s clear that Lamar is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely loves animals. I am so grateful we found him, especially on such short notice. I highly recommend Lamar to anyone looking for exceptional pet-sitting services. We will absolutely choose him again whenever we’re back in Ocean City. I only wish he lived closer to us!”
“Beth and Ron did an amazing job with Apollo. They are caring animal lovers and put a lot of thought and effort into Apollo's care. They gave valuable updates and feedback. I'd use them again anytime.”
“I can't speak highly enough of Cori and the exceptional care she provides for our pet. From the moment we entrusted her with our furry friend, it was clear that he was in loving hands. Cori goes above and beyond, ensuring he receives all the cuddles and attention he craves. Her genuine affection for animals shines through, making our pet feel right at home. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or just keeping him company, Cori is always attentive and responsive to his needs. We truly appreciate her dedication and warmth. Knowing our pet is so well cared for brings us peace of mind, and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you, Cori, for making our pet's experience so special! 🐾❤️”
About: Ive been taking care of little to small pups ever since a little girl. Our family has had breeds anywhere from chihuahuas to lab to boxer. Im looking forward to meeting new pups, as well as giving them the exercise and cuddles they need or desire. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out anytime! I love puppies, so anytime is puppy time. But, I'm currently available only early mornings, mid day and evenings. I do have a child at home so that will have to be taken into consideration. I work a 8-4 schedule, but I am free to leave if I absolutely need to. I can definitely do grooming. Your pet will be fed based on owners normal schedule. Dogs can be let out ever 2-6 hours depending on availability. Any rule you apply for your pet to adhere to, I will delegate that.
About: We have been caring for pets since childhood! We have a delightful, sweet rescue Labrador named Charlotte, who is friendly with all living creatures! We’re comfortable with any age and any personality, and can manage any special needs. We enjoy short and long walks all over town and enjoy exploring with pet friends! We are both emergency service professionals, one recently retired and one with a flexible schedule. We’re early risers and enjoy walking around town and relaxing inside on rainy days. We have a spacious apartment with a balcony and pets are welcome everywhere. We are attentive to pet feelings and needs. We are familiar with all local dog friendly places to explore!
“Chunk was well cared for. Lindsay gave him his medications, which takes time. She sent me pictures and gave me updates. He was a part of the household. Her older son’s new “best friend”. Chunk is a Velcro dog and needs people. So much better care(ing) than he has received in a boarding facility.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and my family currently has four, so I’ve had lots of hands-on experience caring for them over the years. I’m a huge animal lover and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same care I give my family’s dogs. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and I’m happy to make time for pet care around my classes and other commitments. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the care and time they need. I will always treat your pet and home with care and respect. I’m comfortable following specific feeding, walking, crate, and daily routine instructions, and I’ll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention and can also send updates and photos so you know they’re safe and happy while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bayard
Jenna has such a calm nurturing demeanor, excellent communicator on scheduling and her daily updates were so on point with Beau's personality and habits. I adopted my senior 8.5 yr dog about a month ago and had to return home for family matters. Beau's previous owner passed away and he had grief and lots of life changes. I realized I had nothing to worry about when her loving nature showed the minute she opened the door and then when Beau saw her pet friendly huge couch (he's 80 lbs). He looked so comfortable in her daily pics and when I picked him up. Very grateful to Jenna for being a part of Beau's new life and for making my travels stress free on his well being.
Maria was absolutely fantastic with our dog during our week‑long vacation near Fenwick Island. She treated our pup like her own — daily walks, tons of attention, and consistent updates with pictures every day. Her home was spotless, and the fenced‑in backyard was perfect for safe outdoor time. Communication was top‑tier from start to finish. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such great hands. Highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for truly exceptional care.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bayard is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $48 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.
As of November 2026, there are 140 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bayard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Bayard 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 Bayard 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 Bayard.
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 Bayard. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Bayard 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 DE 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.
