“Samantha is truly a gem and cared for my dog like her own. She sent regular pics and videos. My dog felt at ease for 5 days with her. I wholeheartedly recommend her!!”
“Karen was amazing with Jazzy! Our dog has significant separation anxiety, but Karen immediately understood her needs and knew exactly how to help her feel comfortable and secure. The farmland is a huge plus offering plenty of safe, private space for dogs to play and explore. Best of all, Karen and her family treated Jazzy like one of their own. We had complete peace of mind knowing our fur baby was so well cared for, and we're incredibly grateful to have found a sitter we trust. The ample pictures and videos were an added bonus! We'll definitely be back again and again!”
“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“Evvery is amazing! She took such great care of my dog even in this difficult winter weather with snow and ice covering the ground, and especially giving her special care when she got a small cut on her paw. Excellent communication with both photo and video updates. Thank you again Evvery!! : )”
“Raghavi and her family were great. From the start, they made sure to get to know Archie and understand his needs, and Archie was very comfortable with the family as well as their dog, Simba. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care your pet like their own, I highly recommend Raghavi!”
“Mindy was great! Super responsive, sent plenty of pictures, and our dogs looked like the genuinely had a great time. She was quick to let us know of any concerns and definitely seemed to be a dog person! Her home is fenced and a great spot for the dogs to explore and just be dogs. Definitely recommend her!!!”
“We have booked Ivan twice. Both times he has been communicative providing photos and updates on a daily basis and always at least one shot of them on a walk. Norea seems relaxed and calm after her stay.”
“Our dog had a wonderful short stay with Gail and Kris. They are everything you want when going through the stress of finding a boarding situation. Very responsive, kind, and patient. They take the time to learn as much as needed to make the experience for your dog as smooth and comfortable as possible.”
“Chash, we can’t thank you enough for the attention and care you gave our pup this week! Tons of walks, play time and cuddles.. we couldn’t ask for anything more! We would HIGHLY recommend Chash to anyone that wants their fur baby to be well loved. We so appreciated all the daily updates and photos. And even sending our pup home with some sweet new treats, so thoughtful! Our dog Birdie can’t wait to stay with Chash again 💕”
“Tracey and her family took care of my dog with so much love and attention! We started with a Day Care trial, followed by a weekend stay, and now a longer period. I felt completely relaxed while we were traveling because Tracey knows how to take care of animals. She sent photos and kept us informed about Harry's routine. Harry loves to cuddle and I feel like he has found a family that keeps him happy while we are away. I recommend her without hesitation!”
“P'tit Loup had a wonderful time with a very caring family. Thank you so much Marylee and Allen! I have a lot of separation anxiety, but your pictures and texts were always there to reassure me. Take care and we will see you again 😃💖”
“Cameron did an amazing job with Zeke! I will absolutely be using him again. He was responsive, sent photos, kept me updated. I could not have asked for a better Rover. A plus is that Zeke was totally wiped after spending a few days at Cameron's place. Cameron has a huge backyard which Zeke took full advantage of! Thanks again, Cameron.”
“Piero took great care of our two dogs during our two-week vacation! He provided photo and video updates and was flexible with pickup and drop-off times. Both dogs were happy and healthy at the end of their stay. We’d happily leave them with Piero again in the future!”
“Memphoo was taken very well at Austin’s. Austin always kept us posted with texts, photos and videos everyday. He always gladly did everything that is good for my fur baby. I felt good to leave my dog to him, Will definitely hire him again.”
“Michelle was a great sitter for Milo. She sent pictures daily and communicated how he was doing. Milo got along great with her dog which is always a plus to have a playmate. Highly recommend Michelle for boarding.”
“Chris (and Maria) were great hosts for our Remy and welcomed her into their home. Chris kept us updated with photos and videos which was very helpful. We could see Remy was really comfortable with them. They looked after her food and meds needs and it looks like Chris gave her plenty of exercise as well which is a huge plus with the backyard. Remy returned to us just how we had left her with them. Would recommend Chris for tremendous empathy with animals and also excellent communication and updates.”

Carol was absolutely wonderful. We made a last-minute booking after the sitter we had fell through. We didn’t meet and greet with Carol and met with her and her wonderful daughters. Carol took great care of our dog Bella. She sent us pictures and communicated with us regarding how she was doing. I will definitely be booking Carol again in the future.
Anisa has watched my pup several times, and it’s been great every time! My dog can be skittish with new folks, especially because she’s deaf. Anisa worked with her and her quirks, and my dog loves staying with her! I never worry about Serena when she’s with Anisa. She sends regular updates and photos and worked with some of my schedule changes. Your furry friends are in great hands with Anisa!
Vanessa was terrific with our energetic little Berkly! She kept in touch daily with updates on how she was eating, getting along with other furry friends and staying active! We truly appreciated this and highly recommend Vanessa for your pet too! I will definitely use her services in the near future.
Lorenzo accepted my last minute request and my dog is in a good hand. Lorenzo took extra step to take care of my 16-year-old dog, who is sometimes poop inside when goes to a new environment. Lorenzo also communicated with videos and pictures on daily basis, to let us know how our dog is doing. Thank you! Lorenzo.
Gena did a wonderful job watching after Oatmeal! She provided amazing communication throughout the entire time, from our initial Meet and Greet to pick up. The daily updates and pictures Gena provided really put us at ease as this was the first time we boarded Oatmeal. We also really appreciated Gena requesting detailed care instructions. We would definitely recommend Gena for pet care!
Raghavi and her family were AMAZING!!! It was my first time booking a pet sitter, so I didn't really know what to expect, but I got so lucky! Raghavi let me do a little meet-and-greet before I even booked to make sure that Ryder was comfortable with her dog, which put me so at ease, and during the boarding itself, was so accommodating with Ryder's schedule (and went above and beyond by sending me lots of photos while I was away, which was such an unexpected but very nice and much appreciated surprise!) She was so easy to get in touch with, and when I needed an emergency extra couple of days covered, she was so flexible and easygoing about it. Definitely booking again!!! :)
Khushboo took wonderful care of Kylo during his week-long stay. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Kylo looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. It’s clear she paid close attention to his needs and made sure he stayed healthy and comfortable. I’d absolutely trust her with him again!
OMG, if Maria could handle my “bipolar” and “not friendly to strangers” French Bulldog “Fito,” this means she is the bestest dog caregiver. She was caring and loving, and when I went to pick Fito up, she asked me when I was going again on vacation. One of her messages said “I just wanted to say thank you again for trusting me with Fito 🐶 I really enjoyed taking care of him.” Trust me, Fito is not easy. He is very lazy and likes to sunbathe and cuddle which makes him a low maintenance dog. But he is epileptic which means he can have a seizure, and he growls at other dogs and is anxious/aggressive (barking) if someone other than my household and my parents tries to pet him. This makes him too a high maintenance dog. I like to say “I am friendly and you can pet me but I can’t say the same about Fito.” Granted, another Rover caregiver who saw Fito gave me the bestest trick. When he saw Fito (during a pre-visit at a park) and Fito was barking at him, he told me “give me his leash.” I was hesitant at first because I didn’t want Fito to bite him but as soon as he took over Fito’s leash, Fito somehow calmed down as if Fito was thinking “hmmm this stranger now is holding my leash, I’d better be nice since I am under his controls.” I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you to this other Rover Caregiver for illuminating my mind. So when it was Maria’s turn to meet Fito (I had set up many meet and greet with a few Rover dog caregivers), I told her about the new found trick and she too was able to handle Fito. Maria, you are the bestest. You took care of Fito like if he was your very own baby and even had to endure watching a couple of seizures, and clean his crate (as he occasionally poops or pees). You r the bestest. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Boyds on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,316 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Boyds. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Boyds sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Boyds landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Boyds 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 Boyds.
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.
You and your Boyds 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.
