“I was very pleased with Karen. You can tell right away that she loves dogs. We loved the pictures she sent while we were gone. Also appreciate her accepting the last minute booking.”
“Peter loves going to Geosselyn's house! She sends the cutest pictures of him during his stay there. Peter loves exploring her large, fenced-in yard. Peter comes home well rested and calm. You can tell that Geosselyn loves caring for dogs. We will definitely book again with her!”
“Thomas was fantastic. We got updates and photos of our babies everyday. He was super responsive. Our babies played, had fun, and were happy. We definitely will be booking again.”
“Candice was so kind and communicated extremely well while watching my dog. She was flexible, responsive, and made the entire experience stress-free. This was my dog’s first time staying with Candice, and everything went smoothly. I felt confident knowing my dog was in great hands, and I definitely plan to use her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about our Rover sitter, Lee. She truly came through for us at a time when a previous sitter had nearly ruined our trip. From the moment she stepped in, she was so sweet, attentive, and caring toward our dog, it was such a relief. She sent us multiple updates throughout our trip, along with videos and photos of our happy pup, which meant the world to us. After the nightmare we'd been through with the earlier sitter, I was genuinely scared for our dog and worried I might have to cut the trip short and come home. My daughter had only received one picture from that previous sitter, and our dog looked scared and timid in it. That was NOT what we saw from Lee — with her, our dog was comfortable, relaxed, and his usual energetic, playful self. We are so deeply grateful to Lee, and I can't recommend her enough to anyone who wants true peace of mind while they're away from their furry family.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have experience walking large breeds (Dobermans, Rottweilers, etc..). I’ve taken care of other people’s animals and absolutely love caring for dogs. I work full time but work from home Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so more flexible on those days. I am usually free from 4 PM onwards each day. Available all day most week days. We have a large yard that is partially fenced by trees and is large enough for any dog to run around. Our house has three stories so there is more than enough room for dogs to play around.
“Abby and her family were amazing! They took great care of my pup Maxx while I was away and sent plenty of videos and pictures of all the loving and play time he had. Maxx loves kids so he was spoiled rotten having friends to play with and keep him entertained. I will happily book with Abby again and recommend her to anyone.”
“Latoya was really amazing in taking care of Madison. It was our first time with Latoya and I know we made the right decision the whole time was totally stress free. She took an excellent care of our pup and she sends us pictures and videos everyday. Madison was at home and comfortable with her care the whole time. We are definitely going back for her services the next time.”
“Samantha was wonderful! She sent me pictures throughout Rory’s stay and was wonderful at communicating. I could tell our pup had a great time because she’s normally very energetic and it is sleeping soundly on our bed. 10/10 recommend and would definitely book her again!”
“Tarina was amazing with my puppy who lacks manners and can get into trouble. Most dogsitters require a perfectly behaved dog, and she expertly handled my crazy doodle pup giving her loads of socialozariona sn exercise.”
“Best dog boarding experience ever! Happy dog, happy pet parents! How can you beat a family of 4 totally focused on your pet. Our 10 yr old was thrilled to find there were 2 boys to keep our Daisy cuddled and loved. Jill and Chad are great - pic updates, great communication. We WILL be using them whenever we travel. This was like leaving our dog with best friends. Thank you so very much. Your family is so appreciated!”
“Cassandra was very accommodating for my overactive schnauzer. It was a last minute request & she arranged a meet & greet with her dog. My dog was welcomed & stayed in her room with her dog. It was a good experience. Thanks Cassandra”
“We had another wonderful experience with Gisel and her family. Toby and Milo were so happy to see her again, which says everything about the comfort and trust they feel with her. We truly appreciate the attention, updates, and the warm environment she provides. Thank you again for taking such great care of our babies. We’re so grateful!”
“We were pleased with Kari & Joey watching our fur baby Mila. This was our first time using them and we look forward toward using them frequently. Mila enjoyed the family, especially being around the kids. Kari is a natural loving dog sitter, very personable while making sure you feel good leaving your pet in her care. Our fur baby, Mila enjoyed staying with Kari& Joey.”
“This is Sphinx 2nd time staying with Nikkita and he ran in the house as if it was home. Communication was excellent during his stay and she was able to accommodate dropping him off at the last minute since we were unable to pick him up. Our previous sitter moved from the area so we are grateful to have found her and our dog seems to love his stays!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Charlestown is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $43 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.

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.
96% of sitters in Charlestown 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 Charlestown 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 Charlestown.
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 Charlestown 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.
