“Was extremely happy with the week Our pup developed some separation anxiety while we were gone Charlie went above and beyond to make sure Cai was comfortable including sleeping on the couch next to him so he wasnt alone or scared Constant communication and pictures daily Highly recommend was a great experience all the way around!!!”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“We highly recommend Joel & Janelle! They helped us in a pinch when our sitter had to cancel super last minute. This was our first time using Rover and it definitely won’t be the last. I was really nervous going out of our comfort zone especially while being out of town but Joel and Janelle responded quickly, answered all questions and took great care of our girl. We even got super cute pictures! They both were very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend! Thank you again Joel and Janelle! We really appreciate everything!”
“Donna and Scott’s care was exceptional and they definitely went above and beyond to make Ziggy feel at home. It was very stressful when we realized the family that usually watches him couldn’t take care of him. The thought of boarding him was upsetting and doing so would have ruined our vacation. Our vacation was great and Donna and Scott sent many pictures that really contributed to its success. Very caring people. We couldn’t be any happier.”
“Tyson was well taken care of while we were on vacation for a week. Renee sent me photos everyday showing how spoiled he was getting! He had an amazing time and was exhausted after I picked him up. Thank you!”
“Even thought this was his first visit to Michelle, Rusty was very comfortable wth Michelle and her family. He seemed relaxed and happy when we picked him up. I am sure he enjoyed the large fenced back yard.”
“Shaynna was awesome. She was willing to take Kelce on a last minute basis. She was also able to tell when Kelce was stressed and was able to give her the attention she needed. She gave updates and sent a picture. I will definitely book with Shaynna again when the time comes about.”
“Barbara did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She provided daily photo updates and consistent communication, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for and happy. I would absolutely book Barbara again and highly recommend her.”
“John and Jessica were so great with our pup! We got lots of video and photo updates and were fully confident he was being well cared for! We look forward to our pup staying with them again in the future!”
“Poppy loves Heidi and you can tell that Heidi loves her! Not only does Heidi give excellent care but she is flexible when we need to adjust our schedule! I cannot recommend Heidi highly enough!!”

“We had an awesome experience with Agnesa. She truly demonstrated to be a professional and knowledgeable dog sitter/trainer. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our 7 month old 60 pound labrador puppy under her care for the weekend. Agnesa kept us informed every day with multiple updates including pictures, videos, and observations about how our beloved puppy was doing during his stay. Our puppy is a high energy labrador and she managed to take great care of him while keeping him engaged in training sessions during his stay. She made sure our puppy and her dogs got along together and even took them on walks. We are completely grateful of her work and would definitely consider boarding our dog with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Awesome and lovely dog loving family. Knight had a great time. I appreciate their flexibility and accommodations when I had a delayed travel flight departure, that affected my pick-up time.”
“Chris and Gerry are so nice, loving, and kind. My girls felt at ease while staying with them. It helps that they only take one client at a time. If you are looking for someone to love your babies like their own, look no further. Definitely book with Chris and Gerry!”
“Leah was just fantastic! I had a situation arise that precipitated the need to find someplace for my two boys a.s.a.p. and I am so thankful she was available. She treated them like her own, and they got along well with her two little fur babies too. They must've had a LOT of fun pn her beautiful property because they basically slept for the next 24 hours. So happy to have found Leah and it's great that she is so close too.”
“Our puppy Midas had a great time with Marne and John! They took great care of him while we were away and sent many photos to let us know how he was doing. We would definitely have him stay with them again!”
“Petey loves going to his doggy hotel. He gets excited when we drive into Sandra's neighborhood. He receives lots of loving attention and has other dogs to play with, although Sandra can also accommodate a dog who wants privacy. The Doggie Guard Station has a doggy door to the yard -- important for an elderly gentleman who may not have a lot of advanced warning that he needs to go out. This last stay I had to extend because of illness and Sandra was happy to do so. It's great to have found a place to leave Petey when I go to visit my family. ”
“Daniel was fantastic with our dog, Moki. We were out of the country for 2 weeks, and not only was his long term price the best in the area, but his service was by far the best as well. He sent frequent photos and updates, and his updates were the most detailed and most fun that we have received from any sitter since we started using Rover more than two years ago. Icing on the cake: he offers additional services through Rover. We were able to add on a doggy bath and nail trim so that when we picked Moki up, she was nice and clean. Five-star experience all around, and we'll definitely use Daniel again! Thank you!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 373 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Charlton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Charlton 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 Charlton 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 Charlton.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Charlton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Charlton 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
