“Ken has been a great dog sitter for us. He is very passionate about the pups, sends us photos and updates, and has a great vibe with our dog Bernie. We are very happy!”
“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.”
“Thank you Ms. Robin Tina seemed to have such a great time with you and it was great for her to be able to socialize with other dogs while she was there. Communication was excellent and I can tell you truly treated Tina as one of your own. I would recommend you to anyone!”
“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!!!”
“Cheryl was awesome! She welcomed my fur baby into her home and treated him like her own. She provided updates, pictures, and videos. And as a bonus my fur baby got to hang out with her beautiful daughter. I could not ask for a more "genuinely" compassionate, and loving family to leave my boy with. I would completely use her again. Thank you so much Cheryl!!!”
“Elisha did an amazing job taking care of my dog for 10 nights. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease. She not only cared for him like her own but also went above and beyond by teaching him new tricks. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. We also received updates, which made the experience even more reassuring. I truly appreciate the level of attention and care she provided. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog boarder.”
“Kyury and her husband, John, went above and beyond for our dog, Arty. From the meet-and-greet through the duration of Arty’s two-week stay, their attention to detail, passion, and genuine care were evident. They helped keep Arty comfortable and eased our concerns about his anxiety. They provided regular updates with photos and videos that did not just check a box but instead provided meaningful information. They were proactive when issues arose—adjusting his feeding when he wasn’t eating well and quickly addressing a rash by notifying us and consulting a vet. At one point, Kyury even fed Arty by hand. After Arty’s stay, Kyury reached out to check on Arty and see how his rash was doing. They truly care about the dogs they watch. We would absolutely use their services again. We (including Arty) were spoiled. They deserve your business.”
“My Paisley had an amazing time and was well exercised and fed. She loved being with this family. She didn't even have time to miss me. I'm happy there's somewhere she'll be happy and well cared for, for future trips.”
“I’m so grateful that I found Kassandra to board my dog, Benji! The consistent updates and photos provided throughout, gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Kassandra and her adorable son will love your dog like their own to make the absence easier on your pup. Oh, and benji got spoiled with that amazing fenced in yard! 10/10 recommend.”
“Francine is a true dog lover who ensures our dog Camden is well cared for and loved. She has a large backyard for running and fun and shares her home with the dogs so they are comfortable as well. Camden comes home happy and tired whenever he has been there.”
About: We are a family full of dog lovers. We had our own dog, Charlie, who passed in 2022. While life is too busy for us right now to add another dog into the mix, we’d love the opportunity to care for yours! We know from our own experience how important it is for our furry family members to feel comfortable when we're not around, so we will only be booking one dog at a time so your pet can get all of our undivided attention! I work remotely so someone will always be home to offer potty breaks, walks, and to love on your pet! While we are a busy family, we will only open up availability for when we know we will be at home and be able to spend all our time with your pet. We have a large secure, fenced-in yard that your pet will have full access to. Our home is your pets home. They are able to be on furniture, sleep where they wish, and have access to all of our home. If your pet has a specific routine you implement at home that you'd like them to stick with, we will do the same here (eating at specific times, sleeping in crate, etc). Just let us know!

Nicole helped me out with a last minute booking after I was ghosted by another sitter. My old lady, Sophia, doesn’t often get free reign to runaround without a leash - she had a blast doing so at Nicole’s with another dog. Nicole sent pictures and I felt confident that my dog was well cared for.
Once again my precious fur baby spent an extended time with Ginnie and Steve and the whole gang while I was away and he was loved, and cared for and had a bunch of fun. I know I can trust them to look after him and make him comfortable, even if he wants some quiet time under the bed. LOL Knowing he is safe and having fun, allows me to enjoy my holiday too. Thank you for all you do.
Taylor and Austin were amazing with my fur babies. This was the first time they watched them and my babies were very relaxed when we got them back and very happy. Im so ecstatic that we found them definitely recommended especially for fur babies that have separation issues. We will definitely be calling them again for our next trip
Ms. Jae is absolutely wonderful. She took my baby girl in as her own this past weekend and even had another energetic pup visiting that Cora could enjoy spending time with. Ms. Jae knew that I was worried given a few of my past experiences here in Baltimore and she made it her duty to send me multiple updates and photos throughout my time away from Cora. My was smiling the whole time, and I could really tell that she was happy and well cared for. You can tell that she really cares about making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in her space. If I could give 10 stars I would. I will likely only send her to Ms. Jae from now on as long as she will have her ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can’t say enough nice things about Sean and the wonderful way he took care of our fur baby, Taz. He kept me up to date with Taz’s daily activities and added pictures. I am so grateful for Sean and his excellent care of Taz. I will definitely use Sean again in the future!
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!
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Catonsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Catonsville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $61 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.
As of October 2026, there are 5,313 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 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.
95% of sitters in Catonsville 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 Catonsville 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 Catonsville.
<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 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 , 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.
