“Mady was absolutely wonderful!!!! My furbaby had such a great time playing with his new friend, Bandit. I was admittedly a bit nervous because this was Balee's first time engaging with another puppy. He clearly had an awesome time as evidenced by the pics that Mady sent which captured the biggest smile. Every photo warmed my heart. Thanks so much for such an incredible experience today. We sincerely appreciate you.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Renea boarding my dog, Gucci! Renea made Gucci feel right at home and kept me updated with adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Gucci has a very particular diet, and Renea followed it carefully and attentively. I could tell Gucci was happy and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend Renea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog boarder!”
“Emma was great! Our 18 year old doggo has a lot of trouble getting around and it’s hard to find someone who will look after her, but Emma was incredible and very communicative about how Cocoa was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle is amazing! After she took great care of our Rotty Junior for a weekend, we rebooked Junior to do an extended two week stay with Michelle, as my wife and I were out of town for our wedding/honeymoon. Michelle always kept us updated with photos, videos and how he was doing overall, but even more then that Michelle treated Junior as family and provided him with genuine loving care and an extremely fun social environment while we were out of town. 10/10 recommend booking Michelle!”
“This is the first time I've ever used a dog sitter and Michelle made it very easy for me. She communicated a lot and sent pictures of my puppy. She was very understanding and flexible when my flight got delayed. She is so sweet and kind and I will definitely use her again.”
“Nicole was amazing with our kitty on her first boarding experience. Nicole gave Paris the space to adjust at her pace, and gave lots of love and attention to make her feel at home. I loved all of the photos and videos each day so we could see how well she was doing!”
“Our Rat Terrier is older, and required special consideration. We discussed our desires with Eva after reading her profile and learning of her own Rat Terrier, Prince. Eva gained our confidence and was accommodating to Ciggy. She allowed Ciggy to "warm up" in her own time, and to have space to lounge. Eva sent a brief report daily along with photographs of walks and lounge time. We appreciate Eva's knowledge, patience, professionalism and accommodation - I would highly recommend Eva.”
“We continue to use Vincent and Lynette time after time, our dog feels right at home with them. This stay was nearly two weeks long and she had so much fun as always.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary. My dog struggles with separation anxiety, so leaving her can be stressful, but she was in incredibly capable and compassionate hands. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she boards and takes the time to understand their individual needs. She was patient, attentive, and proactive in making sure my dog felt comfortable and secure. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was obvious my dog was being well cared for. When I picked her up, she was calm, happy, and clearly had been treated with kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Steven was amazing! He truly cared for Cash like his own; making sure all his needs were taken care of. He was super easy to communicate with and very responsive. I highly recommend Steven and will gladly board with him again in the future.”
“Angela was amazing! She was so kind, attentive, and kept our dog active and happy while we were away. She is a true animal lover! We really appreciated all the updates, photos, and videos, it gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again! 🐾”
“Payton and Graham were wonderful hosts for our dog, Blue. He was obviously well taken care of and happy during his time with them. They communicated throughout and sent pictures and videos to keep us informed. They have a good space inside and outside for dogs to roam and play. We will definitely use their services again.”
“A very positive experience. My Bear received highly personalized care and a happy home to live & play in. Very communicative service and professional care! Highly recommended.”
“So lucky to find this lovely couple as my furbaby is happy every time he stays with them. They are my guy's safe place when I'm away and I haven't booked with any other sitter because of how amazing they are. Top tier communication as well!”
About: Hello! I’m a huge dog lover, and since I work from home, I have plenty of time (and love!) to give your furry family member the attention they deserve! I have a mini Golden Mountain Doodle who is just about the friendliest, most lovable little guy you’ll ever meet. I’ve had dogs throughout my life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve even turned teaching my own pup fun new tricks into a little hobby! Whether it’s playtime, walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out, I will make sure your fur baby feels safe and happy. I’ll treat your pup like my own! I work from home, I take my 13 year old to school in the morning, and I am home. I am home most days and weekends (with the exception of normal sports and errands for my son). My dog is with me all day long, usually sleeping on my feet when I am working or on a zoom call. I get up and take him out for a potty break at 11am and 2pm, and a walk around lunchtime and in the evening around 530pm.
“What can I say?!? Candace is a phenomenal dog sitter and my pup enjoyed getting pampered and taking walks. Look no further, Candace is amazing! She will send you pictures/updates and spend lots of time with your pet.”
“Jasmine was fantastic with our Genji. He was so calm and happy when I picked him up. He doesn’t do well at large boarding facilities, and Jasmine was great about getting him exercise and great care.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Tasha! I was headed out of town and in need of a cat sitter for my cat, Matcha. Tasha agreed to cat sit for me and I must say from the moment of our first communication, Tasha was superb! She made sure to send daily updates, which I greatly appreciated! My daughter and I are so happy we found her and we hope to use her services in the future! Thank you again Tasha!”

Five stars simply aren’t enough for Nicholas! He truly went above and beyond for our family during one of the most important moments of our lives, the birth of our daughter. We needed someone who could be flexible and available on short notice, and Nicholas didn’t hesitate. He was ready when we needed him and even picked up Luca while we were on our way to the hospital. The fact that he was willing to be on call for people he’d never met speaks volumes about his character and genuine love for animals. Throughout Luca’s stay, Nicholas kept us updated with regular messages and tons of photos, giving us complete peace of mind while we focused on welcoming our daughter into the world. And perhaps the best endorsement of all? Luca didn’t want to leave! That alone tells us everything we need to know about how comfortable, happy, and well cared for he was. Nicholas isn’t just an exceptional sitter, he’s an incredibly kind, thoughtful, and dependable person. We’ll always be grateful for the role he played in making such a monumental moment in our lives a little less stressful. We wholeheartedly recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to trust him with Luca again. Thank you, Nicholas, for treating Luca like family and being there when ours needed you most!
Emma is GREAT! I’ve reached out on short notice twice, and she was accommodating, welcoming, and extremely friendly. She is knowledgeable, communicative, and responds very quickly.My dog Jasper, on his second stay jumped out the car excited to see his new best friend. I am extremely comfortable recommending Emma to anyone looking for a loving pet sitter.
Experience unparalleled service that goes beyond expectations! From the moment you reach out, you’ll be kept informed with timely updates and detailed insights. Imagine receiving pictures with context, full descriptions of your dogs’ activities, and an accurate portrayal of their personalities and interactions. It’s truly remarkable how they capture the essence of your pets in such a short time. This is a service you can trust with your most precious loved one i.e. your children. The dedication and care they provide are so exceptional that you’ll find yourself planning your schedule around their availability to ensure your spot. Your dogs will be treated like family, enjoying a vacation of their own while you relax and recharge. It’s not just a pet sitting experience; it’s a peace of mind that your furry friends are in the best hands. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to give your dogs the ultimate care and attention. From the time you book you will see why they are truly the best! Top-tier care I can highly recommend!
Our dog Acadia has now stayed with Marianne and Nicholas twice and has had a great experience both times. They’re very communicative and send pictures and updates at least twice a day. Their backyard is fantastic and she got a lot of exercise while she was there. We always feel so comfortable knowing Acadia will be well loved and cared for with both of them.
As always, we had such a great experience with Mady! She was wonderful with our two senior pups and was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. She communicated with us regularly and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pups were happy and well cared for when we got home. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave them and would absolutely recommend her!
Alicia took great care of my dog! She sent regular updates and photos, was super flexible and accommodating with several last-minute changes, and made the whole experience so easy. My dog was in great hands, and I could actually relax knowing she was being well cared for. Would definitely book with her again!
We appreciate Aaliyah taking care of our Teddy. She did a great job with him. From the meet and greet it was evident that she really cares about her clients. I was amazed how she walked right up and he was chill with her. She is super communicative. . . Within minutes really. She sent pictures and reached out if she had any questions. She really made me feel at peace leaving him with her. Can’t provide enough gratitude and appreciation for her care. I’d definitely book her again. Thanks again Aaliyah!
Alison and her husband took wonderful care of my dog, Nagi! She developed stress-related diarrhea during her stay, and I truly appreciate the extra time, patience, and kindness they showed her. Their updates gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear that Nagi was well cared for and loved. They also gave me great advice on how to treat her diarrhea, and thanks to their guidance, I now know how to better prepare Nagi for her next stay to help prevent the same thing from happening again. They also helped me understand what to pack in case it does happen again, making it much easier to manage. Nagi also had a great time with their two lovely dogs, and I think she really enjoyed being part of their pack. Thank you so much for welcoming her into your home and taking such amazing care of her. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!
Nicole exceeded my expectations. I couldn't have chosen a better person to care for my dog for the first time wihle I was away. She communicated daily with updates, pictures and videos which eased my mind that my dog was in good hands. I would definitely use Nicole again for my next boarding.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bowie is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $72 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 Bowie 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 Bowie 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 Bowie.
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 Bowie. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Bowie 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.
