“I could not have asked for a more perfect match for Molly. Mila promised our fur baby individualized, undivided attention, and she truly delivered. We have an older, small dog with a demanding personality who prefers to stay close to her people. Although she is generally wary of strangers, Molly was immediately drawn to Mila and bonded with her right away. I felt completely confident leaving her in Mila’s care even before I departed. Mila welcomed Molly into her home, ensuring she felt safe, loved, and comfortable throughout her stay. Communication was excellent—prompt responses and regular photos kept me fully informed and at ease. When I returned to pick Molly up, she was visibly happy, well-groomed, and relaxed. Notably, she even allowed Mila to hold her while I was present in the room, which is extremely rare. I highly recommend Mila, particularly for those with emotionally dependent older small dogs. She provided exceptional care and peace of mind. Thank you Mila!!”
“My dog Luna seemed to have enjoyed her time at Linda’s home and playing with the other dogs. Linda was communicative and flexible.i appreciated the daily photos and sometimes even videos. I will be booking with her again.”
“Wonderful experience. Highly recommend Jeanne & her husband. Our dogs didn’t want to leave. Jeanne was very responsive to my many texts throughout our trip and sent us photos each day. We will definitely be rebooking for our upcoming trips.”
“She had done greet with our dog lili she is about a year and six months old no issues at all very knowledgeable of dogs in their situations as well as understanding their behavior with no issues she took care of my dog and my dog played with her dog so now my dog has a friend they went to the park together and everything and she bought my dog back, clean safe and sound no issues Thank you very much once again for watching her for the five days. It’s been great. We definitely use her again just for dog play dates. Also she’s amazing. Don’t hesitate.”
“We had a great experience with Julia & Jacob. They took such s wonderful care of our dog while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind to receive regular updates, pictures, and videos — it was clear our dog was happy, safe, and well-loved. Communication was easy, and everything went smoothly. They truly went above and beyond by picking up and dropping off our dog, which made everything so much easier for us. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“I received a photo of my dog about 10 minutes after I dropped him off with Makhayla. He was already looking all comfy and cozy in a bed. That’s the fastest he has taken to a new home of all of the Rover people I have used. I had no doubts that he was in very good care and I won’t hesitate to have her watch him again.”
“Our first ever using Rover, we were nervous parents since we were away for two weeks. Our dog is a bit of an investigator and when she disappeared around a corner I thought “oh boy” but Ruth was very vigilant and gave us many updates. Our dog got lots of exercise with walks and enjoyed being around children. The communication was excellent and reassuring. She was well cared for and loved.”
“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 🥰”
“Lisa was great with my rescue dog Dolly who can be a bit nervous around new people - she sent me lots of updates with photos and video to help reassure me Dolly was settled which was great! Dolly enjoyed lots of cuddles and was very relaxed when she got home so I know she was looked after very well by Lisa - we will definitely book some more stays before we move to New Jersey!”
“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.”
“Danielle helped give me peace of mind during my trip. I haven’t been able to take a vacation in a long time due to not having anyone to watch over my old guy to make sure he stays safe. She provided updates and gave him love as I would. 100% recommend.”
“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!”
“Kimberly was absolutely wonderful! My dog, Cooper, has anxiety when it comes to being away from me, which can make leaving him difficult. Kimberly made the entire experience so much easier by sending photos of him relaxed and comfortable, along with thoughtful updates on his care. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We were so pleased with Kimberly that we’re already hoping she’ll be available again in July. Thank you for taking such great care of Cooper!”
“Emily and Patrick were so great with my dog, Smiley! They were so flexible when plans went awry and the updates were so sweet. It was great seeing Smiley and Biscuit together throughout the stay and I knew my dog was safe and happy.”
“Never boarded a pet before, but I left my Xander there and they treated him wonderfully! He even got a cat tree to play on, which I don’t even have! Highly recommend!”
“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!!!”
“i can not even begin to express how wonderful Theresa is. I love to go places, but I always hated leaving my dog (or dogs when I had more than one). Theresa IMMEDIATELY made me feel at ease, as well as my dog. I actually had to google to find a word that could convey how great she was, and I found "cynophile" which is a dog lover, but she is more than that. She not only understands what the dog needs, but also what us pet parents need. She eased my worries, she sent me pictures, she assured me that what I was feeling was normal. I know that I not only had a good time, but my dog enjoyed her vacation as well. You will definitely will make it so much easier to say yes when I am asked if I can get away Thank you Theresa!”
“We could not be happier with our pup’s stay with Jennifer! Jennifer was wonderful at keeping us up to date with pictures and messages throughout her stay. Our puppy, Izzy, is anxious with new people and seemed to really take to Jennifer, Buster, and her family within a short amount of time. Izzy was exhausted when she got home so she clearly enjoyed all of the fun and attention she received! I highly reccomend Jennifer and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Erin was totally a pleasure and kind person to work with. From scheduling a meet and greet with our Maxx a few weeks before to sending updates with pictures. We never once had to worry about my our baby Maxx while chilling on the beaches in Cancun, Mexico.”

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.
<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 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.
