“Our dogs Dallas and Dixie are always so well cared while we are away. We sincerely appreciate the updates and knowing they are in good hands. A big thank you to Sophia for going the extra mile to ensure Dixie receives her medication every night. I highly recommend Sophia!”
“Tanya and her whole family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pippa! She felt right at home from the moment she arrived, and they provided the best care possible. We loved receiving the photo updates Tanya sent—it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Pippa was while we were away. Thank you, Tanya, for creating such a kind and loving environment for our pup. We were able to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Pippa was safe, happy, and so well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Emma! Tracey kept us in the loop with hilarious daily updates 😂. They were so welcoming and did everything possible to accommodate Emma’s needs. Highly recommend!”
“Apollo had a lovely time staying with Sriju! She has such a peaceful, calm spirit and a cozy home. Apollo felt comfortable right away. Sriju’s house is located on a corner with a large yard next to it and there is a playground and dog park close by. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“Ivan did a great job taking care of my little girl, Sanu. He kept in touch and seemed to have a genuine affection for her. Would definitely use Ivan again. He’s an entrepreneurial young man. Well done, Ivan!”
“I cannot recommend Dawn enough! She took care of Chewie for a full week, and from start to finish she was absolutely incredible. She sent pictures, videos, and updates multiple times a day, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me enjoy my trip knowing my pup was in the best hands. She was also wonderfully flexible when I needed to drop Chewie off earlier than planned. The moment we arrived, Chewie instantly took to her warm and loving nature—it was clear he felt safe and at home right away. Her yard is a dog’s dream: huge, fully fenced, and completely safe. Chewie had so much room to run, sniff, explore, and play—definitely more than he gets at our house! And her sweet dog Rascal deserves a special shoutout for being so patient with Chewie’s endless puppy energy and attempts to jump all over him. Chewie came home tired, happy, and already missing his home away from home. He even picked up some great habits during his stay—he learned not to run off with our toilet paper, so we can finally keep our bathroom doors open again! Dawn is truly the best. If you’re looking for someone loving, attentive, responsible, and genuinely devoted to dogs, look no further. Chewie will definitely be back! 🐾💛”
“James, Nicolette, and their children took excellent care of our nine month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Lizzy was treated as part of their loving family and had plenty of exercise and attention. My wife and I received constant updates and photos. I highly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation in the future.”
“Huan took excellent care of my dog for the time he was with her. I received regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. My dog came back happy and relaxed—he clearly got lots of attention, great walks, and plenty of belly rubs. She’s kind, personable, and truly attentive. I highly recommend her for boarding and sitting.”
“Caden was great, buddy, my 9 year old border collie love him and I got updates regularly, he took great care on him and I will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend”
“Tatyana is such a life saver. My dog is in love with her. She treated my dog like she was family and gave her so much love and attention! She is our new favorite and I would definitely book again. Thanks so much for being so great to my dog LILO appreciate it so much!! 🥰🫶”
“We are so grateful to Pam! She treated Mikko incredibly well. And he played with toys for one of the first times (he’s a rescue and an older dog so this was amazing). His food has multiple steps to it and she was very detail oriented regarding this. Thank you again Pam!! 💌”
“Absolutely thrilled with Evvery’s care for my senior dog, Monty! She went above and beyond, giving him the extra attention and patience he needs at his age. I truly appreciated the frequent picture and video updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I’m so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend Evvery to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Jill and her husband did a great job of taking care of Luna. We heard from her everyday while we traveled and whenever we had questions they always responded pretty quickly. They both are very calm and patient with the dogs - who can sense that. Very experienced and professional. Definitely will look to use them again when needed!”
“Wendy is our go-to every time when Leo needs to be taken care of. She’s responsive and trustworthy. Leo was happy and taken good care of every single time! Thank you Wendy!”
“Gail and Kris took wonderful care of our three fur babies. Two are young and high energy while the third is a senior lady who spends the whole day being chill. Gail and Kris were able to handle all three with no problem. They sent us daily pics and vids of the pups having a blast or just happily lounging on the patio, which made being away from them a lot more tolerable. Gail and Kris were very professional from the moment we walked in the door to the point we took our pups home. Bonus point: all three came home smelling so fresh! It’s very apparent that Gail and Kris adore dogs and made the pups feel safe and right at home as they looked so happy when we picked them up.”
“Rong was fantastic! She communicated regularly and Ralphie came home happy. I can’t ask for much more than that! Her dog, Lucky, is also a sweetheart and made a good companion for my dog.”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing with our Goldendoodle, Jasper. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves dogs, and that showed in every part of Jasper’s stay. She and her family treated Jasper with so much love, care, and attention that he truly felt like part of their family. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Jasper was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he looked so relaxed and happy. it honestly seemed like he wanted to stay there with them. That says everything about the kind of care Melissa provides. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our boy, Jasper.”
“Tatiana was amazing! Oreo had a great week under her care. Tatiana sent me pictures and videos every day to keep me updated. She has a very clean and pet friendly house. Thank you!”
“Karen is great! She always sent me a bunch of photos daily. She is very flexible to allow me to pick up my dog a bit earlier than scheduled. Her pets are very friendly with my dog. I haven’t fixed my dog yet and she accepted to board my dogs even though she was in the tail-end of my dogs heat (I brought diapers and pads). She is very friendly and I’m glad to find a great animal lover to board my dog.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Darnestown
Sophia is an awesome dog sitter. Our dog has flourished and comes home very happy after she's been at Sophia's. Sophia has been very patient and kind to our anxious dog who takes time to get comfortable. She sends pictures everyday our dog is with her, regularly updating us about her. Sophia takes beautiful pictures, which is another bonus:) Highly recommend her, if anyone is looking for a home away from home for their furry family member!
James, Nicolette, and their children took excellent care of our nine month old Portuguese Water Dog puppy. Lizzy was treated as part of their loving family and had plenty of exercise and attention. My wife and I received constant updates and photos. I highly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation in the future.
Sabina takes excellent care of our dog! She follows our instruction exactly and updates us daily with pictures. She also gives lots of attention and does lots of activities with Saska. He’s definitely very happy at her place! We would not hesitate to choose her again in the future!
Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use: --- We couldn’t be happier with Katrina as our dogsitter! She is incredibly communicative and keeps us updated every step of the way. It’s clear she has a lot of experience. Our dogs warmed up to her right away and are always relaxed and happy when we return. Being able to go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing our dogs are getting the absolute best care and attention, is priceless. Highly recommended!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,684 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Darnestown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Darnestown sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Darnestown landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Darnestown 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 Darnestown.
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 Darnestown 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.
