“Lunas stay with Sophia was amazing! Sophia was flexible with timing. Sophia was extremely responsive and we loved getting daily pictures and updates on Luna! Would highly recommend and we will Definitely be using Sophia again! She is the best!”
“It was a last minute book, i was having an emergency, she was gentle to book and take my 12 years old dog to day care on Sunday, and provide a picture of him. I only can say, Thank you!!”
“Ivan takes the best care of our dog! I don't worry anymore when I have to leave Kona, because I know Ivan will take such good care of him!! Another perfect visit, and we're grateful. Thank you Ivan!!”
“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.”
“Evvery was wonderful with our dogs. We knew that she would have another dog with her and wanted to test our foster dog in that situation. She met us outside and took all 3 dogs on a walk until they acclimated. We received several videos and pictures of how they were getting along. Other sitters may skip out on that last walk before the dogs are picked up but Everry kept to the schedule. I highly recommend her and will use her in the future.”
“Our dog Freya loved her time with Dawn and came home completely exhausted (in a good way)! Dawn is also very communicative and attentive to Freya 's needs and flexible with scheduling if needed”
“Cooper enjoyed his time with Huan, her family, their dog and the daycare dog. She fussed over him and let me know of any concerns immediately. We also got daily pictures and videos. He came home exhausted.”
“Poh Huey is absolutely amazing. She took great care of our dog Belle recently when we were out of town. She was responsive, courteous, and very professional. Huey was genuinely attentive to Belle, which was greatly appreciated. She provides video/photo updates. Her fenced backyard with artificial turf provides a safety and clean playground for dogs. Her two dogs are super friendly. Huey is the best!!”
“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.”
“My pup always has a great stay with Wendy! She sends daily photos and updates. She also was helpful and persistent with encouraging my anxious pup to eat. We are so happy to have Wendy as our regular dog sitter!”
“Sriju is an Angel! She was able to help us with last minute care for our Rosie bookending our trip (with my parents babysitting in between) and Rosie was simply obsessed with her. She got all the cuddles and plenty of exercise and I was thrilled knowing she was in such capable hands!”
“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.”
“Excellent care of my dog giving me updates almost every few hours going above and beyond. Definitely recommend her to anyone because she takes personal care of dog like her own. Thank you for you cheering love toward my dog!”
“I do not know what Katherina could possibly do to make me a happier pet mom. She saved me at the very last minute; she gave the dogs (and cat) exceptional attention; and she is just so dang nice! The most telling thing to me about my dogs is when they are simultaneously happy to have me home, and show signs of not having missed me. Thank you Katherina!”
“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!”
“Todd took great care of Sunny. He has a comfortable home and it was an exiting time for Sunny to meet new human friends and doggie friends. Todd made the effort to take Sunny on long walks in the park. I’m sure that made Sunny happy. I would highly recommend Todd as a sitter!”
“Jill and her family made sure to keep our dog on his medication schedule and monitor his healing knee injury. It wasn’t an ideal time to go on vacation but Jill reassured me and explained to me that she had experience giving medication and that her home would be a safe environment. I came back to a happy dog that was moving better than when I had dropped him off.”
“Kathy did an amazing job taking care of our 2 dogs, and they are a good bit of work! One dog is 14 months old, with never ending energy and curiosity. We adopted her 6 months ago, and she is working through anxiety. She was not anxious at all with Kathy! Kathy's granddaughter was with them for part of the week and we heard the two of them became fast friends and were inseparable. Our second dog is 13years old, much lower energy, a picky eater, has medicine that is a game to get her to take. Kathy was great with our old pup as well! She ate most meals, took all her medicine, and looked very content. Kathy sent pictures, videos and updates twice a day, so we knew how they were doing everyday. I highly recommend Kathy to take care of your pups and will ask Kathy to take care of our dogs if available the next time we are out of town.”
“Tatyana took such great care of our dog, Archie. She was extremely communicative, shared lots of pictures and we felt that Archie was well taken care of. He seemed so happy, we almost got worried he wouldn't want to come back to us!! She was also well prepared with question about his care and really listened to us regarding what he likes and what he doesnt like. She was really accomodating and I would highly recommend her. She is now our exclusive go-to person for taking care of Archie. I just hope she's available when we need her! :)”

Todd took great care of Sunny. He has a comfortable home and it was an exiting time for Sunny to meet new human friends and doggie friends. Todd made the effort to take Sunny on long walks in the park. I’m sure that made Sunny happy. I would highly recommend Todd as a sitter!
Dawn was wonderful with Ollie! She was so kind, attentive, and flexible, and I really appreciated all the pictures and videos she sent throughout his stay. It was clear that Ollie was happy and well cared for, and I could tell how much affection she showed him. I would definitely recommend Dawn and would happily have her watch Ollie again!
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.
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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Darnestown on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,620 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.
