“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Lina is great with my Sully! He gets lots of personal attention and time to play in their big backyard! She’s very communicative and sends lots of pictures. Would definitely go back!”
“Lucy and I had a great experience with Evan and his wife! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous, but Evan sent me updates with pictures frequently, giving me peace of mind that Lucy was in good hands! I highly recommend Evan for dog sitting and will definitely book him again!”
“Byamba and family were great hosts to our Mary. He shared photos daily which made us reassured she was happy and well cared for. Will definitely have Byamba host Mary again.”
“Very great communication and sent a lot of pictures while I was away! Made my girls feel at home and the family was incredibly nice/hospitable. Did not worry at all leaving my girls in their care!”
“Erin watched Kiwi and Belsh for a couple of days and they had a great time! Erin was super communicative, sending pictures and updates, and was flexible with timing on pick up and drop off. We would use her again in the future!”
“Jason and Becky took care of our pet Cocoa for 9 days. They were reliable, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for pets. . From the initial meeting, they took time to understand our pet’s routine, dietary needs, and personality, which gave us great confidence while we were away. They provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured us that Cocoa was happy and well cared for. Our pet seemed comfortable and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the level of care and attention provided. We have decided to leave Cocoa with them when we travel next time. Thank you Jason and Becky.”
“Yi kept my nervous little pandemic puppy for a weekend. She was great in dealing with his anxiety and he eventually warmed up to her and the other small dogs she was watching. She was great about sending pics and videos.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“Chris was great with our older dog. He let him out into his yard and walked him daily. He also gave him his meds on schedule. We received daily updates during his stay. Chris was also responsive throughout the process: booking, meet and greet, drop off and pickup. Our dog was happy and relaxed after a one week stay with Chris. Highly recommend him for a stay!”
“Meri was amazing! This was the first time I left my dog with someone we did not know. She was warm, and welcoming, and provided photos over the weekend. Thank you, Meri!! :)”
“Diana did an incredible job taking care of Roxie! I was away on a long trip and I felt at ease knowing Roxie was in great hands. I received daily pictures and videos and Roxie looked so happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Diana and plan on using her again in the future!”
“Kerstyn was absolutely amazing! She was so kind to our dog, took the time to give me updates on how he was doing each day and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable (given he has a lot of anxiety). Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would love to have our dog stay with her again. Our dog Wilson came home more happy than ever! Thanks so much Kerstyn!”
About: I offer a calm, attentive, and personalized care experience for both cats and dogs in the Tysons, McLean, and Great Falls area. With over 6 years of combined experience, I take time to understand each pet’s rhythm — from gentle brushing and quiet companionship to playful moments and frequent photo updates. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I work from home, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pets and give them lots of love and attention. On weekends, I love being outdoors—if your dog enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to bring them along for some fun and fresh air! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, keep the environment safe and clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular photo updates so you always feel connected. I occasionally offer boarding at my home for small dogs and cats who can peacefully coexist with my friendly resident cat. I do slow, careful introductions to ensure a stress-free stay. Please note that I do not board large dogs.

“Erica did a great job with our energetic bernadoodle Frances. She got Frances out to play a lot at the dog park and she sent us pics and videos every day. Thanks Erica!”
“Armanush was wonderful. She was very responsive and provided plenty of updates and pictures of the dogs. My flight was delayed and she was accommodating of a later pickup time which was much appreciated. Thank you!”
“Christine is absolutely fabulous! She has a great house and yard for the dogs and clearly is a true dog lover. She maintains excellent contact with owners when they are away from their pets. Our dog already loves being with Christine after only three visits!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cabin John
Yi is fantastic! Mr. Buttons loved his five‑night stay and had so much fun with the other pups. Yi kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made our time away so much easier. We’ve been repeat customers for years and will definitely continue booking with her. Five stars all around.
I always trust Sasha to take the best care of my giant sheepadoodle whenever I leave town. Henry is always excited when I drop him off and happy when I pick him up. The pictures they send everyday while I’m gone put my mind at ease and put a smile on my face. Highly recommend Sasha and the CARE team for their personalized and professional service
Lee Ann and her family were exceptional puppy hosts! Our pup settled in right at home with their pup and kids. Their place is very dog friendly and Lee Ann responds so thoughtfully, with regular updates and quick correspondence. We even caught our puppy learning new moves to hint at wanting to go outside. Would highly recommend and rebook soon!
Jihae always takes such loving care of our pups. I can see the regular walks on the Fi app becausr she let's us plug in the bases at her place. She sends pics every day while we are away as well as little updates on their activities. We are so happy we found her, and our doggos seem to be happy too.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cabin John on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,813 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cabin John. 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 Cabin John 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 Cabin John 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 Cabin John 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 Cabin John.
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 Cabin John 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.
