“Lexi absolutely LOVES spending time with Mady and her family. Mady is great and I truly feel like Lexi is home at Mady’s home. Mady sends updates with pics to let us know how Lexi is doing. We are keeping Mady on speed dial?”
“Alicia and her family took wonderful care of Zen. She provided daily updates with lots of photos. I could tell he enjoyed his stay. I will definitely rebook with Alicia again.”
“Renea took exceptional care of my dog, Remy, and treated him like family from the moment he arrived. It was clear that she genuinely cared for his comfort, happiness, and well-being throughout his stay. The bond she formed with Remy gave me complete peace of mind, and I could tell he felt right at home with her. I truly appreciate the love, attention, and personalized care she provided. Remy will absolutely be returning for another stay, and I know he’ll be excited to see her again!”
“Nicholas was super awesome. My dog took to him right away and Nicholas was just superb with Po. He was very good about sending pictures and just never once made me feel like I was missing anything. I would highly recommend Nicholas and will use him in the future for sure”
“Raynell was amazing! She watched my dog last minute and treated him like family. She was flexible, kind, and kept me updated with regular pictures and messages. I really appreciated her care and will definitely use her again!”
“Megan was wonderful - I would say she went above and beyond. My dog Carter and I had not been apart for a full day or even an overnight since I adopted him in January and I was very worried about being apart from him for nearly a week. Megan clearly made Carter feel at home, listened to the things I told her would help maintain Carter's routine, figured out how to adjust when Carter made clear he wasn't staying in his routine when he out of his routine. They clearly had great affection for one another and Megan sent me many photos and videos showing me that Carter was doing well. It was a great experience and I would want to hire Megan again for a similar occasion.”
“This was a long stay for Addie and it looks like she thoroughly enjoyed it! We felt so confident leaving her with Marcella; no concerns at all - except that maybe Addie would have too much fun with Caesar to want to come home with us! Thank you, Marcella!”
“This lovely couple is my fur baby’s preferred boarder. He’s stayed with them now more than 3x and when I use this app, I always rebook with them. They are kind, share updates and have a clean and safe home. My little guy - typically shy - is excited when he stays with them. 5 out 5 stars”
“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.”
“Anthony and his wife were absolutely wonderful! I immediately felt a sense of comfort when meeting them and they were able to accommodate my last minute booking. They took such great care of my almost 2 year old Maltipoo. Their pup, Moonie is also so very sweet and well mannered! I received consistent updates and photos during my trip, Demi had such a great time! Thank you for being so kind, patient and opening your home to her! We will definitely be back!”
“Amazing! Teddi loved his time with Maya. She even got him to use puppy pads, something I’d struggled with before. He’s such a sweet pup who got to have so much fun for the weekend. He was treated with such care and adoration.”
“Payton and her husband were awesome! Our dogs had such an incredible time with them, they almost didn’t want to leave. They provided updates regularly and lots of mental stimulation and walks for our pups. Can’t wait to use them again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They welcomed our pup for a last-minute weekend stay and gave him such a comfortable, happy place to settle in. Their dog was a wonderful playmate, and the frequent updates and lots of photos made it easy to relax knowing he was having a great time. They were communicative throughout and incredibly accommodating as our schedule kept changing. We’re so grateful for the care and flexibility, and would happily book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“I am absolutely and positively grateful that we found Alison and Brian (and Megatron!) Woof!!! Cash was loved like he belonged to their family; when he didn't eat his food (which happens anytime he's away from home) Alison reached our to me, and offered alternatives. Thank you so much for taking care of Cash and for your brave service to our country! Looking forward to having you look after our fur boy again soon :-) xoxoxo”
About: Hi, I'm Hela. I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I work from home, meaning your dog will never be left alone and will get full attention. I live near local walking trails in Bowie, have an unfenced yard, and send photo updates during every stay. I treat every guest like my own family. Message me to set up a meet-and-greet! I am currently available full time to give every attention and love to your pups. I am available from Monday to friday and sometimes flexible for weekend care. I have a two level house that your pup can move and play in. I also have an unfenced back yard, and the park is within walking distance from my house
“We used Jeramy as a last minute sitter when our original plans fell through, and we were so happy with the experience! Our dog can be a nervous with new people, but she loved Jeramy and had a great time during her stay. She also sent lots of pictures and videos to keep us in the loop. We will definitely be using her again :)”
“Corey is a great resource on Rover! He took our request last minute and was really courteous, attentive, and professional. He kept us updated while we were away with messages and pictures everyday. We will definitely be using Corey's services again.”

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!
Happy I connected with Nick and Prince appears quite happy as well. With Nick Prince lived like royalty. I was comfortable leaving Prince with Nick and look forward to having Nick care for Prince the next time I have to travel. Thanks Nick for taking such great care of my pup.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Bowie is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 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.

As of October 2026, there are 7,634 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bowie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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 , 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 .
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.
