“Our 10 year old Golden was exhausted after a weekend at Wenyan’s but seemed well cared for. We received lots of pictures and videos which were appreciated. Being around other dogs kept him too busy to miss us.”
“Samantha is a good care taker. She knows how to care for my senior dog. Her house was great with Winston’s company and has a nice backyard full of good smells. She’s a great communicator and send updates frequently.”

“Evvery deserves every star and more. She has gone above and beyond to make sure that my spoiled pup is well taken care of. She even gave me detailed reports in the morning and in the evening every day during my pups stay there. It was as if I was there. It was awesome. Along with the reports came adorable pictures! I’ve NEVER had this experience before. I truly appreciate everything she has done! Highly recommend and I hope she will allow my wombat back in her home! I know he will miss her truly.”
“Raghavi and her family were great. From the start, they made sure to get to know Archie and understand his needs, and Archie was very comfortable with the family as well as their dog, Simba. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care your pet like their own, I highly recommend Raghavi!”
“Karen was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. My chichahua loved staying with her! Karen sent us photos and updates each day. It was a relief to see how much fun my dog was enjoying and how well she was cared for. We will leave my sweet dog with Karen every time we need a sitter.”
“I would like to personally recommend Xiao if you need an outstanding dog sitter. I boarded my baby Skip Marley with her for a week. She kept me informed on how he was doing sending me pictures and videos which helped put me at ease in knowing he was being well cared for. I believe Skip may have been afraid at the beginning and on guard, but by the time I went back to pick him up he was a happy and healthy guy. I am sure she spoiled him rotten. He did not want to leave. She has a big gated back yard where Skip could run around and explore. I will definitely use her again. Thank you so much Xiao for taking care of my baby!”
“Romeo is always excited to be with Robin and Michael. They are amazing people who really care about their dogs under their care. It is peace of mind knowing Romeo is happy to be with them. Romeo can't wait to go back ! ;) thanks again, claire and gili”
“Another fun stay with Gail and Kris. They really took their time and put in great effort to give our dog a fun time despite the record heat. It shows how wonderful they are as hosts!”
“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.”
“As always Penny received the best care with Juli! She has a great set-up in her house and fenced in yard that is similar to what Penny is used to so she feels right at home.”
“Wonderful experience. Tracey and her family were such caring and communicative sitters, tending to Ivy's "old lady" preferences and surrounding her with love.We are so appreciative and will definitely be in touch next time we travel.”
“Monica took amazing care of our German Shepherd while we were in Florida. She was kind, responsible, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her dog boarding service!””
“My dog had a great time with Brenda while I was away! In the past I’ve felt nervous leaving my pup with a Rover sitter, but Brenda made me feel at ease and I felt comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Definitely would book with her again and recommend her services to others 🙂”
“I highly recommend Rosie and Lorenzo! My dog got lots of exercise and enjoyed having other small dog friends. They had no trouble with my (slightly unusual) feeding instructions and they sent ample pictures. My shy dog came back relaxed-not stressed. I will definitely book with them again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Darnestown
We love leaving Ghostie with Sophia. She has so much fun, goes for plenty of walks, and runs around in the back yard. Sophia always send plenty of picture daily and communicates with us regularly when we are away. Ghostie feels so comfortable with Sophia, so we keep coming back. Thanks Sophia for a great stay-cation for our furry family member.
We left our 6 yr old golden doodle with Jayendri for 4 days. She managed him very well specially his food as he is a picky eater. The best part of leaving my pup with Jayendri was that I got transparent updates about food and walks and even if the walk schedules were modified. This is something I have not seen with other sitters. Gibbs came back happy and I would love to leave him back again when we go on holidays.
Dawn is an outstanding sitter. She is as professional as she is kind, and you can tell from the moment you meet her that she's genuinely invested in the well-being and care of every dog she watches. She goes above and beyond to keep owners informed with regular updates and gives the dogs exceptional care and attention. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing Tank and Ripley were in such good hands while we were away. I'm certain Tank and Ripley will be chomping at the bit to head back the next time my wife and I have to leave town. Thanks again, Dawn! We couldn't recommend you more highly.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Darnestown on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 August 2026, there are 7,625 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.
