“Max had great care from Diana. He was only there for one overnight and had some digestive issues due to nervousness but Diana and her family were very understanding and gave him great comfort. Diana and her family were extremely considerate, spent time with us during the drop-off to make sure Max was comfortable before we left, sent an update so we would know how things were going and explained his stay when we picked him up. And, when we unpacked after we returned home, we found a little treat bag for Max. She asked questions to determine his schedule and tried to keep to his routines regarding when he ate, walked, where he slept. She was knowledgeable about different breeds of dogs and knew his traits based on breed. She and her family love dogs and it showed in their interactions. Diana is professional, through and very caring to both pets and owners. I highly recommend her to care for your pet. You'll want to book early, as I'm sure she books very quickly. ”
“Nicole was very kind and attentive to Shirley. Shirley requires a lot of human company, and Nicole and her family provided that in spades! I received regular updates regarding Shirley’s activities, as well as photos. Book Nicole and your furry friend will be in good hands.”
“Ariel was awesome! She was very welcoming and friendly. She kept me updated with pics and took phenomenal care of Polo. This was his first time being left with a stranger so I was nervous but I can tell he loved Ariel. He will definitely be a frequent flyer with Ariel.”
“Steph couldn’t have been any more perfect for our dog, Remy! It was the first time we left a pet with a non-family member but I felt completely comfortable. Steph even has a doggie-sofa in her living area. I could tell from our first meet and greet that she was in tune with dog behavior. Her dogs are the sweetest hosts too! When we picked up Remy, I could just tell that she had a wonderful weekend. I really appreciate having a reliable, loving place to take Remy when needed.”
“Our Bellatrix's first time with Crissy and she had a wonderful time. Crissy was great keeping in touch and sending pics. Thank you Crissy. Bellatrix will see you and Dublin again soon ☺️”
“Latte had a great time with Katarzyna! She came back just as herself — happy, eating, not overly tired. All signs that she was comfortable, and we appreciated the timely communication and regular updates.”
“Shawnna is my favorite sitter on Rover so far. She was very flexible, sent lots of photos, and was very responsive. My dog who is usually a little slow to get completely comfortable with new people cuddled up to her immediately! I was amazed and knew he was in good hands. I’ve recommended Shawnna to all my family and friends in the area.”
“Jess is simply amazing with my elderly and very high maintenance Havanese. He has serious separation anxiety but I never worry about him when I drop him off. She’s very attentive and patient and will go out of her way to make him comfortable. She’s really the only one I trust with my baby 🥰”
“Thank you Lisa for responding so promptly, so last minute! Thank you for taking great care of our fur baby! We truly appreciated our experience with you especially it being our first time using a sitter outside of family! Thank you for providing a pleasant experience!!!”
“Gary and his wife Karen took wonderful care of my dog, Finn, while I was away at the beach for a few days. They were great with communication, sending updates and making me feel at ease knowing Finn was in good hands. It’s clear they truly know and love dogs, and they have a welcoming home where Finn was well cared for. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I’ll be booking with Gary again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Keyona was great with my 6 year old Shih Tzu. My mind was at ease with knowing he was in good hands, considering he’s never been with anyone other than a family member. She sent pictures and videos each day, which was a plus. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Allison is so sweet and caring to my pups! She sent multiple pictures and updates every day to help ease my anxiety over leaving my pups at home for a week long vacation. I haven’t had great luck in the past with dog sitters but I WILL be reaching out to her in the future. Best dog/house sitter! Thanks, Allison!!”
“Alexis was phenomenal. My dog has a great time, I got adorable updates and wheni was unexpectedly delayed, Alexis adapted and made a stressful situation just a good amount easier”
“Andrew was really nice and had a good knowledge of golden retrievers since he had been a trainer for goldens years ago. Daisy seemed very happy with the arrangements and we would recommend him to anyone who wants to board their dog.”
“This was Nukka's first stay with Felice and her family. But it won't be his last. We had a nice meet/greet a couple of months ahead of time to see if we were all a match. This gave me a great level of comfort. It was clear Nukka was having a good time and feeling safe from the daily pictures/videos I received. When I came to pick him up he was obviously overjoyed to see me, but kept going back to Felice to make sure she knew he still cared about her. hahaha Can't wait for him to spend time with the family and his new furry playmates again.”
“Teresa was awesome with Royale, he seem so happy and playful. And he made friends which he usually stays away from other dogs.I was able to relax as Teresa kept me updated with pictures and messages of my baby. I randomly chose her on Rover and I m so happy with my choice...”
“Jennifer and her family including her dog buster were the perfect place to take my dog rommi when I went on vacation . They all really care for your pet like they are part of their family. Her sweet little boy even started to cry when I picked rommi up ❤️!!!!! I really enjoyed getting the pics and updates on how rommi was doing. . I felt very happy that he was there and will definitely use her whenever I go away . And rommi really had a good time too❤️?”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cockeysville is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $45 per night.

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.
94% of sitters in Cockeysville 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 Cockeysville 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 Cockeysville.
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 Cockeysville 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.
