About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for years. I have experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have a puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of daily routines, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or simply relaxing and getting attention, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and companionship! I have a flexible schedule and can make time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, feeding them, or just keeping them company. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents about their pets’ routines and work together to find a schedule that works for everyone. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Every pet has different needs, and I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Terri was amazing. So chill and relaxed around our sensitive dog. She is one of those rare sitters that does not have her own dogs or cats and is 100% dedicated to yours. She has a house and yard that are peaceful and quiet and in a great neighborhood for interesting walks. I would 100% recommend Terri, she is an absolute gem.”
“Anna was amazing, I felt true piece of mind leaving my pup in her care. She sent daily pictures and updates - even when I had a last minute scheduling hiccup, Anna went above and beyond in order to accommodate us. I’ve found my new home away from home for Maxy. Thank you!”
“Eric kept me apprised of my puppy, Penny, throughout her stay. She appeared to be comfortable and happy. Upon her return home she seemed her usual self assuring me that she was happy with Eric as well.”
“Merlin’s was wonderful and made our dog, Roxie, a part of her home! We appreciated the daily updates and cute pictures. We will use no doubt book her again the future!”
“Brandon was fantastic with Bailey this weekend. He was dependable, communicative, and took great care of her throughout the stay. Bailey was happy and well cared for when we returned, which gave us complete peace of mind. We would gladly book with Brandon again and highly recommend him!”
“Andy boarded our dog (still a puppy at 6 months), and he did a great job. We were away and very busy. I cannot remember if I told him this or not, but the fact that he sent one note at the end of the day with pics and videos was the perfect level of communication. Andy was flexible about a pickup time, which we appreciated.”
“Diamond was awesome with my high needs dog. She provided tons of picture updates and my normally anxious dog was clearly relaxed & well cared for in her home. Plus her children are adorable. We will definitely board our dog with Diamomd again the future.”
“Koda stayed with Dawn for 4 nights and I was at peace. Dawn shared so many pictures and videos. Dawn shared every detail of Koda's stay with me. Dawn has a huge yard for dogs to run. Koda was happy running and playing with the other dogs. She was fed on schedule and pampered. Dawn helped her to feel at home while she was there. I definitely recommend her for your dogs. Mildred E”
“Kyle was such a wonderful sitter for my pup over the long weekend! Ringo was well taken care of, socializing with his dogs, and I received daily updates and pictures. It was a wonderful, calm environment.”
“Frances was great. She listened to all my dog's needs and kept me up to date with how he was doing. She is also very easy to work with. I would definitely ask her to doggy sit.”
“Kathleen and her family took great care of Juneau. We arranged a Meet & Greet in advance to ensure a successful stay. They sent photos and updates so we knew our girl was having fun while we were away.”
“Rachel was wonderful! We had a meet and greet for our pups and was sold on Mazzi’s chill personality. Rachel kept us updated with daily photos and videos of his walks and treat times. She was wonderfully communicative about concerns and had a great setup for the dog.”
“Fantastic! Our dog’s birthday fell on the day that she was staying with Theresa. When she found out about it, she bought her a birthday hat and doggie pie treats and made her birthday very special for her. We truly appreciate her kindness and professional care. You could not ask for a better person to care for your furry friend.”
“Ellen is a PHENOMENAL sitter. My dog was so well taken care of on her beautiful property and had friends to play with every day! Ellen provides ample updates in the form of cute little videos so you see just how happy your pup is while you're away. Highly recommend. I've already rebooked her to watch Athena the next time we're out of town.”
“Rover had a great time with his new found friend Butcher. Tara was great at sending daily updates and being accommodating when our flight got delayed. She has a very big fenced backyard for the dogs to play. Rover will be back whenever we are out of town again. Thanks!”
“Our dog was well taken care of, and we got pictures during the stay. Only problem was during pickup, Cindi was not home even though we confirmed the time earlier that same day. Her phone had died so we were unable to reach her. We waited an hour but ultimately went home. We were able to pick up our dog later.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Boyds is $54

Cameron was very attentive and took excellent care of Milo. Milo can have some anxiety especially in new places, but Cameron helped him adjust and have a fun visit. Milo enjoys being outside so his huge backyard was perfect. He also enjoyed playing with his two dogs. Thank you!
Ms. Shannon was absolutely wonderful! This was Toby’s first time staying with her, and it was a 10+ day stay, so naturally, we wanted to make sure he was in good hands. Ms. Shannon was so accommodating and open to meeting beforehand so we could all get acquainted and comfortable before the extended stay. That meant a lot to us and gave us peace of mind. Throughout his stay, she took excellent care of Toby and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after. We truly appreciated her attentiveness, kindness, and willingness to make the experience a positive one, especially for his first time away from home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Ms. Shannon.
*The BEST pet boarder I've ever had! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️* I boarded my baby CZU with Sanjay and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sanjay was absolutely the best boarder I have ever had! My DC trip went so smoothly knowing my pup was in Sanjay's hands. He kept me updated and took such amazing care of CZU. CZU was happy to see me when I got back, but honestly it seemed like he wanted to stay back with Sanjay! That's how comfortable and loved he felt. Anytime I'm in the area, I know exactly who to go to for my baby. Thank you Sanjay!
I was very happy with Kat’a care of Sarge. She took him on lots of walks, which he loves and made sure he was well cared for while at their house. She sent lots of pictures and provided several updates throughout the day. Kat was very accommodating with a schedule change. We hope to leave Sarge with Kat again in the future!
Kathy is the best! She took great care of Kofi for the longest we had ever left him and treated him like her own 🐶💙. Her daily video updates were great and allowed my husband and me to be at ease on our vacation knowing he was in great hands. Kofi bonded with her well! Her warm hearted and easy going energy was exactly what he needed. Thank you, Kathy! 💙
Chash took wonderful care of Tori! She was so communicative, sent great updates, and was incredibly patient and understanding even when Tori had an accident. Tori especially adored her daughter and became her little shadow the entire time. Tori had the best time—when I went to pick her up, she didn't even want to leave to go home! I had complete peace of mind while away. We will definitely rebook in the future. Highly recommend!
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!
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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Boyds is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $91 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.
There are 7,563 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Boyds. About 91% of Boyds sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
