“So thankful for Felice & her family for watching Charlie! She was great and sent me plenty of updates & pictures. Charlie enjoyed playing with Coda & running in the backyard. He came home tired from a long weekend of fun!”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Brittanie and Ryan took such great care of our pup. We really appreciated the updates and photos, as it put us at ease with it being her first time with a sitter. They were responsive and helpful, kept to our feeding schedule and loved on our furbaby. Thank you so much!”
“Virgina watched my retired guide dog Harry in her home while I was traveling for business. She made sure everyone would get along beforehand and took time to meet and talk with me. This was the first time Harry was staying with someone he didn't know and I was worried he'd be anxious. He had a good time with her senior dog Chip. I'll likely book with her again.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.
“Ginnie and Steven were really wonderful caretakers for my cat. They were very communicative and super accommodating when my plans changed and I needed to extend the time my cat stayed with them. My cat came home happy and healthy and I know she was well cared for. Definitely plan to reach out to them when I travel again!!”
“Kelly and her husband are simply amazing. From booking to post-pick-up, their communication was clear and timely. During Leo's stay with them, Kelly sent me photos, videos, and update comments numerous times throughout the day. It made a huge difference for me and my daughter (9 yo) who missed Leo very much during our trip. They were so warm and kind to Leo, and I could tell that they truly cared for the pet they were looking after. They took Leo to exciting walks, let him play off leach in their backyard, and cuddled with him. I know they've done all of this because they send me so many pictures. Leo looked very comfortable and content in the photos and videos. I highly recommend Kelly and her husband!!!”
“It was a pleasure having Lingli care for my fur baby while I was away. She was always very responsive and sent a lot of pics during my pup's stay. I will definitely be booking again.”
“Robin was amazing!! She took such good care of my baby while I was away for Christmas and made sure my baby felt the holiday spirit. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Theresa and her daughter took such good care of our dog, Lily! They really loved her like their own and sent plenty of daily updates and pictures. We enjoyed ourselves on vacation knowing that our pup was in good hands.”
“Odessa was great! This was my very first time using Rover and the first time ever going on a week-long vacation and leaving my dog with someone, so I was super nervous. Odessa was very reassuring. She sent updates and photos of Rozay, which eased my mind and made me feel so much better as the days went by. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her on my next trip.”
“Nautica was an excellent host for my busy little boy. She kept them an extra day because we've been having brownouts in my neighborhood. She even dropped him off and picked him up. I knew he was going to be spoiled rotten after enjoying a long weekend with the backyard. I will be using her again”
“Morgan has cared for our dog several times. We wanted a boarding experience that felt like home for our dog while we were out of town for 5 days or more. And that is exactly what we got with Morgan! She shared updates with us throughout our dogs stay and was very accommodating.”
“Took wonderful care of our mini-golden doodle when we went away on a family vacation. Our dog warmed up to her immediately! She lets them get exercise and cuddles, is responsive and sends pics of their day. We will definitely ask Susan to watch our beloved furry family member again!”
“This was my first time using rover and having someone other then family watch Simba.I was very nervous at first. However Priscilla was fantastic. From the moment I met her I felt like I knew her. She has such a beautiful spirit and is very nice. Simba loved her. She took pictures everyday and it made me know he was in goods. Her family and her are great and I will definitely be using her again.”
“Esther & Yi took wonderful care of Holly during her first stay with them over a long holiday weekend. They sent frequent photo updates of her spending time with their dogs and even kept us updated on her potty schedule, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be boarding with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”
“From the moment Peyton toddled into their home, she was loved. Liz, Jeffrey, and family, are a wonderful stop for any four-legged when you can't do it yourself. I don't think mine wanted to leave when I arrived to pick her up. Peyton can't wait to visit again. Many thanks!”
“Kyury took great care of my dog. She took her on multiple walks every day and went above and beyond caring for my dog. Her communication was great and sent me pictures and updates daily while I was gone. My dog came back home very happy and tired from a fun week. I will definitely be using Kyury again!”

Jessica was absolutely amazing with our dog! It was our first time boarding, and she made us feel completely at ease. She took such great care of our dog and sent us daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our dog was happy and well cared for. We will definitely trust Jessica again and will absolutely use her pet-sitting services in the future. Highly, highly recommend!
Nina was such a blessing to find as I was looking for last minute care for my pup! She welcomed Sweet Pea into her home and within the evening she was settled and I could tell she felt at home. She shared pictures throughout the stay and was super communicative which I appreciated greatly! She came home tired and so happy - couldn’t ask for more!
They always enjoy watching our dog Kygo while we’re away on vacation. Update us with messages and pictures and make us feel at ease knowing he’s with people who care about him and treat him like he’s their own. Will definitely continue to use them in the future when needed! Thanks again!
Leah & Jada made Butters feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved from the start. They were generous with updates and incredibly transparent throughout his stay, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. Butters settled in immediately and truly seemed at home. It was clear he was in great hands, and their thoughtful, attentive care meant so much. Highly recommend!
Odessa took very good care of our dog! She sent updates and photos throughout the time that she had him. Our little guy really bonded with her during his stay and we could tell right away that she cared for him really well. We are so grateful for the care and love that he received from her. We will not hesitate to book with Odessa again!
Sean was great a fit for boarding my two girls Xena & Rogue! I went away for 10 days, they both got multiple daily trail walks, a quiet neighborhood, and a great living space on his ground floor. Sean would give a daily update most days with 1-2 photos so I could see they both looked well. I returned to two happy, healthy pups that seemed content being in Sean's home. Thank you Sean!
We are so happy that we found Helen to take care of our "four legged baby". Our dog was taken care like a king, knowing that Helen did such a wonderful job with our dog gave us piece of mind, we were able to relax during the time away from our dog. Helen send us great pictures of our dog. Helen is just fantastic!
Sarah is an absolute dream with both of my pups. They both adore her and her husband and love playing in her yard. She is super attentive and sends me lots of pictures every time they are with her. You can really tell how much she cares for animals. We are so lucky we found her!
I felt very comfortable leaving my two doggies with Allyson and her husband after meeting her. When I dropped them off, she had her home ready to receive them and ready to let them snuggle like they are used to. Upon my return from two weeks away, while they were of course happy to see me, it was clear that they were completely at home, well cared for, and very content in their temporary home. I am a nervous pet parent that does not typically travel without taking my babies with me. This was not possible for a two week trip to Hawaii so I turned to Rover and Allyson for help and Allyson provided FABULOUS help to allow me to enjoy my vacation knowing that my babies were well cared for.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Catonsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Catonsville on Rover is $44.4 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 5,276 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Catonsville. 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 Catonsville 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 Catonsville 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 Catonsville 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 Catonsville.
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 Catonsville 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.
